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.
Kayi Yesu walatatika kwiyisha mumbali mwa lwenje. Likoto linene lya bantu lyalabungana nkwalikuba, cakwinseti walatanta mubwato mwalakekala capataliko, nalyo likoto lya bantu lyalekala kumunta mumbali mwa lwenje.
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,
Walatatika kubeyisha bintu bingi mumikonshanyo. Walambeti,
3 Hearken: Behold, a sower went forth to sow.
“Kamunyumfwani! Muntu naumbi walaya kumwaya mbuto mulibala.
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed some seeds fell by the way-side; and the birds came and devoured them.
Mpwalikumwaya mbuto, nashimbi shalawila mumbali mwanshila, neco kwalesa bikeni byalashilya.
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.
Mbuto nashimbi shalawila pa mabwe pabula bulongo bwingi. Shalamena bwangu, pakwinga nkapalikuba bulongo bwingi.
6 But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Nomba lisuba mpolyatantako, mumena walanyana ne lumwi pakwinga nkashalikuba ne myanda yashimpa.
7 And others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them, and they yielded no fruit.
Mbuto nashimbi shalawila pa myunga, nomba myunga yalakula ne kufwekelela mumena, neco uliya kusema bisepo.
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.
Nomba nashimbi shalawila pabulongo bwabolela, shalamena ne kukula cena, shalatatika kusema bisepo, nashimbi makumi atatu, nashimbi makumi asanu ne limo, nashimbi shalasema mwanda umo kupita mbuto shalamwaiwa.”
9 And he said, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Pakupwililisha, Yesu walambeti, “Uyo ukute matwi anyumfwe!”
10 And when he was in private, they who were about him, with the twelve, asked him about the parables.
Yesu mpwalekala enka, nabambi balikuba bekala pepi nendi pamo ne basa likumi ne babili balesa kumwipusha sha mikoshanyo isa.
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
Nendi walabakumbuleti, “Amwe mulapewa casolekwa ca Bwami bwa Lesa, nomba kuli balikunsa byonse bilenshikinga mu mikoshanyo
12 hat seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should turn, and be forgiven.
kwambeti, “kulanga kabalanga, nsombi kabatalangishishi, kunyumfwa kabayumfwa, nomba kabatanyumfwishishi, pakwinga na bensoco, ngabasanduka, Nendi Lesa ngaubalekelela.”
13 And he saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all the parables?
Yesu walabepusheti, “Sena nkamuna munyumfwishisha mukoshanyo uwu? Inga lino nimukanyumfwishisheconi mikoshanyo naimbi?
14 The sower soweth the word.
Shikumwaya mbuto ulyeti shikukambauka maswi a Lesa.
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.
Mbuto shalakawila mumbali munshila, shilemanininga bantu bakute kunyumfwa maswi a Lesa, nomba banyumfwa, cabwangubwangu Satana ukute kwisa kwafunyamo maswi amwaiwa mukati mwabo.
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,
Kayi mbuto shisa shalakawila pa mabwe, shilemanininga bantu bakute kunyumfwa maswi a Lesa ne kwatambula pa cindi copeleco mwakukondwa.
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.
Nomba pakwinga maswi awo aliyawa miyanda, bakute kulikakatishako kacindi kafupi. Bacana mapesho ne bishikubaba pacebo ca maswi a Lesa, bakute kutyompwa bwangu.
18 And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they who hear the word,
Nomba mbuto nashimbi shalakawila pa myunga, shilemanininga bantu bakute kunyumfwa maswi a Lesa,
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)
nomba cebo cakufula kwa bishikutatisha pa buyumi bwabo pacindi cino, ne bwikalo bwalunkumbwa lwabuboni, ne bintu nabimbi, bikute kwingila ne kufwekelela maswi awa, neco nkakute kusema bisepo. (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.
Imbuto isho shalakawila pa bulongo bwabolela, shilemanininga bantu bakute kunyumfwa maswi a Lesa ne kwatambula cena, ne kusema bisepo makumi atatu, nashimbi makumi asanu ne limo, nashimbi mwanda umo kupita isho shalabyalwa.”
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?
Pacindi copeleco walabepusheti, “Nkabakute kufwekelela lampi mu mutanga, nambi kubika panshi pabulili, sena ncobakute kwinsa? Sena nkabakute kubika lampi pantangalala?
22 For there is nothing secret, unless to be made known; nor was any thing hidden, but that it should come to light.
Paliya bintu byasolekwa, byeti bikabule kuyubululwa. Kayi paliya bintu byafwekwa byeti bikabule kufwekulwa.
23 If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Uyo ukute matwi anyumfwe!”
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.
Yesu walambeti, “Shakoni mano kuli mbyomulanyumfunga. Mupimo ngomulapimininga banenu, munshila imo imo ne njamwe nibakamupimineko, cakubinga nibaka musankanishilepo.
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.
Pakwinga uyo ukute bingi nakapewe bingi, nomba uyo ukuteko kang'ana, nambi kopelako nkalayeyengeti ukakute nibakamulamune.”
26 And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as when a man has cast seed upon the ground,
Yesu walambeti, “Bwami bwa Lesa buli mbuli muntu ukute kumwaila mbuto pa bulongo,
27 and sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs and grows up, he knows not how.
ukute kuya kona mashiku ne kupunduka bwaca, nasho mbuto shisa shamwaiwa shikute kumena ne kukula. Nomba moshikute kukulila, nkakute kwinshibapo sobwe.
28 For the earth brings forth fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Bulongo pacabo bwine bukute kumenesha, mukuya kwa cindi ngala shikute kuboneka, kayi mukuya kwa cindi kukute kupula tubeshi, kumapwililisho kwakendi, inseke shakoma shikute kubamo.
29 But when the fruit puts itself forth, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest is come.
bisepo byakoma ukute kubiyangula ne Jekesi, pakwinga cindi ca kutebula cilakwana.”
30 And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or under what comparison shall we set it forth?
Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga Bwami bwa Lesa tubwelanishe necani? Nambi tubwambe mumukoshanyo ulyeconi?
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;
Bulyeti kambuto ka masitadi, ako pa cindi ca kukabyala kakute kakali kang'ana pa mbuto shonse shakubyala sha pacishi ca panshi.
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.
Nomba kabyalwa kakute kumena ne kukula kupita mbuto shonse sha matewu shili mulibala, kakute kuba ne misampi inene, cakwinseti bikeni bikute kupangilamo bisangala mulumfwile.”
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.
Yesu walikukambaukila bantu mulumbe mumikoshanyo ingi yamushobowu, mbuli mobelela kukonsha kunyumfwila.
34 But without a parable he did not speak to them; but in private he explained all things to his own disciples.
Cakubinga uliya kwambapo nabo ciliconse kwakubula mukoshanyo, nsombi beshikwiya bakendi bonka embwali kubapandulwila byonse babanga pa lubasu bonka.
35 And on the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side.
Pa busuba bopelobo mansailo, Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Katutampukilako kutala kwa lwenje.”
36 And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat; and there were also other boats with him.
Neco balashiya likoto lya bantu, ne kutanta nendi mubwato mbwalikubamo, kayi palikuba mato ambi.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves heat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
Pacindici kwalesa lukumpwe lunene lwa ngofu, neco mankape alatatika kuma ku bwato, palashala pang'ana kwambeti bwato bwibile.
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?
Nsombi Yesu walikuba mu bwato kunyuma, kaliwona tulo kali watamina pa mutamino. Beshikwiya bakendi balamunyukumuna ne kumwambileti, “Bashikwiyisha, nkamulashingonga mano, kwambeti tulipepi kufwa?”
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.
Walapashamuka ne kulucancilila lukupwe ne kulwambileti “Leka!” Kayi ne kwambila mankape, “Tontola!” Popelapo lukupwe lwalacileka, nawo mankape pa lwenje alamwena tonto.
40 And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have not faith?
Neco Yesu walabepusheti, “nicani ncemwabela ne buyowa bwa swaswalo? Sena mucili babula lushomo?”
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the waves obey him?
Nsombi nabo balanyumfwa buyowa ne kutatika kwamba kuli umo ne munendi eti, Inga uyu “Niyani cakwinseti lukupwe ne mankape pa lwenje byonse bilamunyumfwilanga!”
