< 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.
και παλιν ηρξατο διδασκειν παρα την θαλασσαν και συνηχθη προσ αυτον οχλοσ πολυσ ωστε αυτον εμβαντα εισ το πλοιον καθησθαι εν τη θαλασση και πασ ο οχλοσ προσ την θαλασσαν επι τησ γησ ην
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,
και εδιδασκεν αυτουσ εν παραβολαισ πολλα και ελεγεν αυτοισ εν τη διδαχη αυτου
3 Hearken: Behold, a sower went forth to sow.
ακουετε ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed some seeds fell by the way-side; and the birds came and devoured them.
και εγενετο εν τω σπειρειν ο μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον και ηλθεν τα πετεινα και κατεφαγεν αυτο
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.
αλλο δε επεσεν επι το πετρωδεσ οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην και ευθεωσ εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθοσ γησ
6 But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
ηλιου δε ανατειλαντοσ εκαυματισθη και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη
7 And others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them, and they yielded no fruit.
και αλλο επεσεν εισ τασ ακανθασ και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και συνεπνιξαν αυτο και καρπον ουκ εδωκεν
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.
και αλλο επεσεν εισ την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον αναβαινοντα και αυξανοντα και εφερεν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον
9 And he said, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
και ελεγεν ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
10 And when he was in private, they who were about him, with the twelve, asked him about the parables.
οτε δε εγενετο καταμονασ ηρωτησαν αυτον οι περι αυτον συν τοισ δωδεκα την παραβολην
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
και ελεγεν αυτοισ υμιν δεδοται γνωναι το μυστηριον τησ βασιλειασ του θεου εκεινοισ δε τοισ εξω εν παραβολαισ τα παντα γινεται
12 hat seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should turn, and be forgiven.
ινα βλεποντεσ βλεπωσιν και μη ιδωσιν και ακουοντεσ ακουωσιν και μη συνιωσιν μηποτε επιστρεψωσιν και αφεθη αυτοισ τα αμαρτηματα
13 And he saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all the parables?
και λεγει αυτοισ ουκ οιδατε την παραβολην ταυτην και πωσ πασασ τασ παραβολασ γνωσεσθε
14 The sower soweth the word.
ο σπειρων τον λογον σπειρει
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.
ουτοι δε εισιν οι παρα την οδον οπου σπειρεται ο λογοσ και οταν ακουσωσιν ευθεωσ ερχεται ο σατανασ και αιρει τον λογον τον εσπαρμενον εν ταισ καρδιαισ αυτων
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,
και ουτοι εισιν ομοιωσ οι επι τα πετρωδη σπειρομενοι οι οταν ακουσωσιν τον λογον ευθεωσ μετα χαρασ λαμβανουσιν αυτον
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.
και ουκ εχουσιν ριζαν εν εαυτοισ αλλα προσκαιροι εισιν ειτα γενομενησ θλιψεωσ η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθεωσ σκανδαλιζονται
18 And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they who hear the word,
και ουτοι εισιν οι εισ τασ ακανθασ σπειρομενοι οι τον λογον ακουοντεσ
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 )
και αι μεριμναι του αιωνοσ τουτου και η απατη του πλουτου και αι περι τα λοιπα επιθυμιαι εισπορευομεναι συμπνιγουσιν τον λογον και ακαρποσ γινεται (aiōn )
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.
και ουτοι εισιν οι επι την γην την καλην σπαρεντεσ οιτινεσ ακουουσιν τον λογον και παραδεχονται και καρποφορουσιν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον
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?
και ελεγεν αυτοισ μητι ο λυχνοσ ερχεται ινα υπο τον μοδιον τεθη η υπο την κλινην ουχ ινα επι την λυχνιαν επιτεθη
22 For there is nothing secret, unless to be made known; nor was any thing hidden, but that it should come to light.
ου γαρ εστιν τι κρυπτον ο εαν μη φανερωθη ουδε εγενετο αποκρυφον αλλ ινα εισ φανερον ελθη
23 If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
ει τισ εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
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.
και ελεγεν αυτοισ βλεπετε τι ακουετε εν ω μετρω μετρειτε μετρηθησεται υμιν και προστεθησεται υμιν τοισ ακουουσιν
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.
οσ γαρ αν εχη δοθησεται αυτω και οσ ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
26 And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as when a man has cast seed upon the ground,
και ελεγεν ουτωσ εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου ωσ εαν ανθρωποσ βαλη τον σπορον επι τησ γησ
27 and sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs and grows up, he knows not how.
και καθευδη και εγειρηται νυκτα και ημεραν και ο σποροσ βλαστανη και μηκυνηται ωσ ουκ οιδεν αυτοσ
28 For the earth brings forth fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
αυτοματη γαρ η γη καρποφορει πρωτον χορτον ειτα σταχυν ειτα πληρη σιτον εν τω σταχυι
29 But when the fruit puts itself forth, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest is come.
οταν δε παραδω ο καρποσ ευθεωσ αποστελλει το δρεπανον οτι παρεστηκεν ο θερισμοσ
30 And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or under what comparison shall we set it forth?
και ελεγεν τινι ομοιωσωμεν την βασιλειαν του θεου η εν ποια παραβολη παραβαλωμεν αυτην
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;
ωσ κοκκον σιναπεωσ οσ οταν σπαρη επι τησ γησ μικροτεροσ παντων των σπερματων εστιν των επι τησ γησ
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.
και οταν σπαρη αναβαινει και γινεται παντων των λαχανων μειζων και ποιει κλαδουσ μεγαλουσ ωστε δυνασθαι υπο την σκιαν αυτου τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνουν
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.
και τοιαυταισ παραβολαισ πολλαισ ελαλει αυτοισ τον λογον καθωσ εδυναντο ακουειν
34 But without a parable he did not speak to them; but in private he explained all things to his own disciples.
χωρισ δε παραβολησ ουκ ελαλει αυτοισ κατ ιδιαν δε τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου επελυεν παντα
35 And on the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side.
και λεγει αυτοισ εν εκεινη τη ημερα οψιασ γενομενησ διελθωμεν εισ το περαν
36 And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat; and there were also other boats with him.
και αφεντεσ τον οχλον παραλαμβανουσιν αυτον ωσ ην εν τω πλοιω και αλλα δε πλοιαρια ην μετ αυτου
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves heat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
και γινεται λαιλαψ ανεμου μεγαλη τα δε κυματα επεβαλλεν εισ το πλοιον ωστε αυτο ηδη γεμιζεσθαι
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?
και ην αυτοσ επι τη πρυμνη επι το προσκεφαλαιον καθευδων και διεγειρουσιν αυτον και λεγουσιν αυτω διδασκαλε ου μελει σοι οτι απολλυμεθα
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.
και διεγερθεισ επετιμησεν τω ανεμω και ειπεν τη θαλασση σιωπα πεφιμωσο και εκοπασεν ο ανεμοσ και εγενετο γαληνη μεγαλη
40 And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have not faith?
και ειπεν αυτοισ τι δειλοι εστε ουτωσ πωσ ουκ εχετε πιστιν
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the waves obey him?
και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν και ελεγον προσ αλληλουσ τισ αρα ουτοσ εστιν οτι και ο ανεμοσ και η θαλασσα υπακουουσιν αυτω
