Mark 4
1 And again he began to teach by the shore of the lake; and there was gathered to him a very great multitude, so that he went into a boat, and sat down in it upon the lake; and all the multitude was by the lake on the land.
Jeesus hakkas taas mere ääres õpetama. Teda tuli kuulama nii palju rahvast, et ta astus paati ja istus vee peal paadis, sel ajal kui rahvas kuulas teda kaldal.
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,
Ta näitlikustas oma õpetusi paljude lugudega.
3 Hearken: Behold, a sower went forth to sow.
„Kuulake, “ütles ta. „Üks külvaja läks välja külvama.
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed some seeds fell by the way-side; and the birds came and devoured them.
Kui ta külvates seemneid laiali puistas, kukkus osa teerajale, linnud tulid ja sõid seemned sealt ära.
5 And others fell on rocky ground, where they had not much earth; and they sprung up immediately, because they had no depth of earth.
Osa seemneid pudenes kivisele pinnale, kus ei olnud eriti mulda. Madalas mullakihis hakkasid taimed kiiresti kasvama, aga kuna mullakiht ei olnud sügav,
6 But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
kõrvetas päike taimi. Kuna neil ei olnud päris juuri, närbusid taimed peagi.
7 And others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them, and they yielded no fruit.
Osa seemneid pudenes ohakate sekka. Ohakad kasvasid suureks ja lämmatasid tärkava orase, nii et sellest ei tulnud midagi.
8 And others fell on good ground, and shooting up and growing yielded fruit; and bore as much as thirty, and sixty, and a hundred fold.
Osa seemneid langes heale pinnasele, kus nad idanesid ja kasvasid ning andsid saagiks mõni kolmkümmend, mõni kuuskümmend ja mõni sada korda külvatust rohkem.
9 And he said, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Kui teil on kuulmiseks kõrvad, siis kuulake, mida ma teile räägin.“
10 And when he was in private, they who were about him, with the twelve, asked him about the parables.
Kui Jeesus oli omapead, küsisid kaksteist jüngrit ja teised, kes olid koos temaga, mida need võrdlused tähendasid.
11 And he said to them, To you hath been given the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them, who are without, all things are done in parables; t
Ta ütles neile: „Teie saate Jumala riigi mõistatusest aru. Kuid kõrvalseisjatel on ainult lood,
12 hat seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should turn, and be forgiven.
nii et kuigi nad näevad, nad tegelikult ei „näe“, ja kuigi nad kuulevad, nad ei mõista, muidu pöörduksid nad minu poole ja saaksid andeks.“
13 And he saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all the parables?
„Kas te ei saa sellest loost aru?“küsis Jeesus neilt. „Kui ei saa, kuidas te siis kõigist ülejäänud lugudest aru saate?
14 The sower soweth the word.
Külvaja külvab sõna.
15 And these are they by the wayside, those where the word is sown, and when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in them.
Seemned rajal, kuhu sõna külvati, kujutavad neid, kes kuulevad sõnumit, kuid siis tuleb kohe Saatan ja võtab ära sõna, mis neisse on külvatud.
16 And these in like manner are they that are sown on the rocky places, those, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy,
Samal kombel kujutab kivine pind, kuhu seemned langesid, neid, kes kuulevad sõna ja võtavad selle kohe rõõmuga vastu.
17 and have no root in themselves, but endure only for a time; then, when affliction or persecution ariseth on account of the word, they immediately fall away.
Aga kuna neil ei ole päris juuri, jäävad nad püsima ainult veidikeseks ajaks, kuni tulevad probleemid või tagakiusamine, ja siis langevad nad kiiresti.
18 And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they who hear the word,
Ohakate sekka külvatu kujutab neid, kes kuulevad sõna,
19 but the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
kuid selle maailma mured, rikkuse ahvatlus ja muud segavad asjaolud lämmatavad sõna kasvu ja see ei kanna vilja. (aiōn g165)
20 And these are they who are sown on the good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it; and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold.
Ent heale pinnasele külvatud seemned kujutavad neid, kes kuulevad sõna, võtavad selle vastu ja kannavad vilja, andes kolmkümmend, kuuskümmend ja sada korda rohkem kui külvati.
21 And he said to them, Is a lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be set on the lamp-stand?
Kes paneb lambi ämbri või voodi alla?“küsis Jeesus neilt. „Ei, lamp pannakse üles lambijalale.
22 For there is nothing secret, unless to be made known; nor was any thing hidden, but that it should come to light.
Kõik, mis on varjatud, tuleb ilmsiks ja kõik, mis on salajas, saab avalikuks.
23 If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Kui teil on kõrvad kuulmiseks, siis kuulake, mida ma räägin!
24 And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you, and more will be added to you.
Pange tähele seda, mida te kuulete, “ütles ta neile, „sest teile antakse vastavalt sellele, kui palju tahate vastu võtta, mõõt mõõdu eest.
25 For he that hath, to him will be given; and he that hath not, from him will be taken away even what he hath.
Neile, kel juba on arusaamine, antakse rohkem, kuid neilt, kes ei taha teada, võetakse ära seegi vähene arusaamine, mis neil on.
26 And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as when a man has cast seed upon the ground,
Jumala riik on nagu mees, kes külvab põllule seemet, “ütles Jeesus.
27 and sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs and grows up, he knows not how.
„Ta läheb magama ja tõuseb varakult üles ja nii iga päev, kuid ta ei tea, kuidas seeme idaneb ja tärkab.
28 For the earth brings forth fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Maa annab saaki iseenesest. Kõigepealt tuleb välja oras, seejärel viljapea ja siis küpse viljaga pea.
29 But when the fruit puts itself forth, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Kui vili on küps, koristab põllumees selle sirbiga, sest saak on valmis.
30 And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or under what comparison shall we set it forth?
Millega võrrelda Jumala riiki? Missugust näidet kasutada?“küsis ta.
31 It is like a grain of mustard, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth;
„See on nagu sinepiseeme − kõige pisem seeme.
32 and when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air can lodge under its shade.
Aga kui see maha külvata, siis kasvab sellest taim, mis on suurem kui teised taimed. Selle oksad on piisavalt suured, nii et linnud saavad seal varjus olla.“
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.
Jeesus kasutas rahvale kõneledes palju selliseid näitlikke lugusid, et nad mõistaksid võimalikult hästi.
34 But without a parable he did not speak to them; but in private he explained all things to his own disciples.
Õigupoolest kasutas ta avalikult rääkides üksnes jutustusi, kuid omaette olles selgitas ta oma jüngritele kõike.
35 And on the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side.
Samal päeval hiljem − õhtul − ütles ta oma jüngritele: „Lähme üle mere teisele poole.“
36 And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat; and there were also other boats with him.
Jätnud rahvahulga maha, läksid jüngrid koos Jeesusega paati. Nende juures oli veel teisigi paate.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves heat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
Peagi hakkas möllama kohutav torm, lained paiskusid vastu paati ja lõid vett sisse.
38 And he was in the stern, asleep on the pillow; and they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, carest thou not that we are perishing?
Jeesus magas ahtris, pea padjale toetatud. Jüngrid äratasid ta kisendades: „Õpetaja, kas sa ei hooli sellest, et me oleme uppumas?“
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, Peace! be still! And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Jeesus ärkas. Ta käskis tuulel vaibuda ja ütles lainetele: „Rahunege! Ärge möllake!“Tuul vaibus ja vesi jäi täiesti tüüneks.
40 And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have not faith?
„Miks te nii väga kohkusite? Kas te ei ole õppinud mind usaldama?“küsis ta neilt.
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the waves obey him?
Nad olid jahmunud ja ehmunud. Nad küsisid üksteiselt: „Kes ta ometi on? Isegi tuul ja lained kuuletuvad talle!“
