< Mark 4 >

1 Jesus again began to teach by the sea; and, as an immense crowd was gathering round him, he got into a boat, and sat in it on the sea, while all the people were on the shore at the water’s edge.
फेरि उहाँले समुद्रको छेउमा सिकाउन थाल्नुभयो । अनि धेरै ठुलो भिड उहाँको वरिपरि भेला भयो । त्यसैले, उहाँ समुद्रमा भएको एउटा डुङ्गामा चढ्नुभयो र बस्‍नुभयो । सबै भिड समुद्र किनारको छेउमा थिए ।
2 Then he taught them many truths in parables; and in the course of his teaching he said to them:
उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई धेरै कुरा दृष्‍टान्तमा सिकाउनुभयो र सिकाउँदै गर्दा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो,
3 ‘Listen! The sower went out to sow;
“सुन, बिउ छर्ने बिउ छर्न निस्क्यो ।
4 and presently, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path; and the birds came, and ate it up.
त्यसले बिउ छर्दा केही बिउ बाटोमा परे र चराहरू आएर ती बिउहरू खाइदिए ।
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and, because the soil wasn’t deep, sprang up at once;
अरू बिउहरूचाहिँ त्यति माटो नभएको ढुङ्गेनी जमिनमा परे । तिनीहरू तुरुन्तै उम्रिए, किनभने त्यहाँ माटो गहिरो थिएन ।
6 but, when the sun rose, it was scorched, and, because their roots were not deep enough, withered away.
तर जब घाम लाग्यो, तिनीहरू ओइलाए, अनि तिनीहरूको जरा नभएकोले र ती सुकिहाले ।
7 Some of the seed fell among brambles; but the brambles shot up and completely choked it, and it yielded no return.
अरू बिउहरू काँढाका झाङहरूमा परे । काँढाका झाङहरू बढे, र ती निसासिए, अनि तिनीहरूले कुनै फल फलाएनन् ।
8 Some fell into good soil, and, shooting up and growing, yielded a return, amounting to thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.’
अरू बिउहरू असल जमिनमा परे, र यो बढ्दै र हुर्कंदै गर्दा फल फलाए, केहीले तिस गुणा, साठी गुणा र सय गुणाभन्दा बढी फल फलाए ।”
9 And Jesus said, ‘Let anyone who has ears to hear with hear.’
अनि उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “जसको सुन्‍ने कान छ, त्यसले सुनोस् ।”
10 Afterwards, when he was alone, his followers and the Twelve asked him about his parables;
येशू एकलै हुनुहुँदा उहाँका नजिकका मानिसहरू र बाह्र जना चेलाले उक्‍त दृष्‍टान्तको बारेमा उहाँसँग सोधे ।
11 and he said, ‘To you the hidden truth of the kingdom of God has been imparted; but to those who are outside it all teaching takes the form of parables so that –
उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, तिमीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरको राज्यको रहस्य दिइएको छ । तर बाहिरकाहरूलाई हरेक कुरा दृष्‍टान्तहरूमा दिइएको छ ।
12 “Though they have eyes, they may see without perceiving; and though they have ears, they may hear without understanding; otherwise some day they might turn and be forgiven.”’
त्यसैले, जब तिनीहरूले हेर्छन्, हो, तिनीहरूले हेर्छन्, तर देख्दैनन्, र जब तिनीहरूले सुन्छन्, हो, तिनीहरूले सुन्छन्, तर बुझ्दैनन्, नत्रता तिनीहरू फर्कन्थे र परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूलाई क्षमा गर्नुहुने थियो ।”
13 ‘You do not know the meaning of this parable?’ he went on, ‘Then how will you understand all the other parables?
अनि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “के तिमीहरूले यो दृष्‍टान्त बुझ्दैनौ? त्यसो भए, तिमीहरूले अरू दृष्‍टान्तहरू कसरी बुझ्‍नेछौ?”
14 The sower sows the message.
बिउ छर्नेले वचन छर्छ ।
15 The people meant by the seed that falls along the path are these – where the message is sown, but, as soon as they have heard it, Satan immediately comes and carries away the message that has been sown in them.
वचन छर्दा बाटोतिर परेका केही बिउ यी नै हुन् । जब तिनीहरूले वचन सुन्छन्, र तुरुन्तै शैतान आउँछ र तिनीहरूमा छरिएका वचन खोसेर लैजान्छ ।
16 So, too, those meant by the seed sown on the rocky places are the people who, when they have heard the message, at once accept it joyfully;
ढुङ्गेनी जमिनमा छरिएका केही बिउचाहिँ यी नै हुन्, जब तिनीहरूले वचन सुन्छन्, तिनीहरूले यसलाई तुरुन्तै आनन्दसाथ ग्रहण गर्छन् ।
17 but, as they have no root, they stand only for a short time; and so, when trouble or persecution arises because of the message, they fall away at once.
तिनीहरूको आफ्‍नो कुनै जरा हुँदैन, तर केही समयसम्म मात्र टिक्छन् । वचनको कारणले सङ्कष्‍ट वा सतावट आउँदा तिनीहरूले तुरुन्तै ठेस खान्छन् ।
18 Those meant by the seed sown among the brambles are different; they are the people who hear the message,
अरूहरूचाहिँ ती हुन्, जो काँढाका झाङहरूका माझमा छरिएका छन् । तिनीहरूले वचन सुन्छन्,
19 but the cares of life, and the glamour of wealth, and cravings for many other things come in and completely choke the message, so that it gives no return. (aiōn g165)
तर संसारको फिक्री, धन-सम्पत्तिको छल र अन्य कुराहरूको लालसा प्रवेश गर्छन् जसले वचनलाई निसासिदिन्छन् र यो फलदायी हुँदैन । (aiōn g165)
20 But the people meant by the seed sown on the good ground are those who hear the message, and welcome it, and yield a return, thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.’
असल जमिनमा छरिएका बिउहरूचाहिँ ती नै हुन् । तिनीहरूले वचन सुन्छन्; यसलाई ग्रहण गर्छन् अनि केहीले तिस गुणा, केहीले साठी गुणा र केहीले सय गुणा फल फलाउँछन् ।”
21 Jesus said to them, ‘Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under the couch, instead of being put on the lamp-stand?
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “के तिमीहरूले बत्तीलाई पाथीमुनि अथवा खाटमुनि राख्‍न घरभित्र ल्याउँछौ? तिमीहरूले यसलाई ल्याउँछौ र सामदानमाथि राख्छौ ।
22 There is nothing hidden that will not come to light and nothing is concealed that will not be brought into the open.
किनभने प्रकट नहुने गरी कुनै पनि कुरा लुकाइएको छैन, र खुलस्त नै नहुने कुनै पनि गुप्‍त कुरा छैन ।
23 Let all who have ears to hear with hear.
यदि कसैको सुन्‍ने कान छ भने, त्यसले सुनोस् ।”
24 ‘Take care what you listen to,’ said Jesus. ‘The standard you use will be used for you, and more will be added for you.
उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले जे सुन्छौ, किनभने त्यसमा ध्यान देओ, किनभने जुन नापले तिमीहरू नाप्‍छौ, त्यही नापले तिमीहरूलाई पनि नापिनेछ (मापन गरिनेछ), र यो तिमीहरूलाई थपिनेछ ।
25 For, to those who have, more will be given; while, from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.’
किनभने जोसँग छ, त्यसलाई अझ बढ्ता गरी दिइनेछ र जोसँग छैन, त्यससँग भएको पनि खोसिनेछ ।”
26 Jesus also said, ‘This is what the kingdom of God is like – like a man who has scattered seed on the ground,
येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “परमेश्‍वरको राज्य जमिनमा बिउ छर्ने मानिसजस्तो हो ।
27 and then sleeps by night and rises by day, while the seed is shooting up and growing – he knows not how.
ऊ रातमा सुत्छ अनि दिन भएपछि उठ्छ, अनि कसरी भयो भन्‍ने उसले नजाने पनि बिउ उम्रन्छ र बढ्छ ।
28 The ground bears the crop of itself – first the blade, then the ear, and then the full grain in the ear;
जमिन आफैँले अन्‍न (फल) फलाउँछः पहिला टुसा पलाउँछ, त्यसपछि बाला लाग्छ अनि बालामा अन्‍न पाक्छ ।
29 but, as soon as the crop is ready, immediately he puts in the sickle because harvest has come.’
जब अन्‍न पाक्छ, तुरुन्तै उसले त्यसलाई हँसियाले काट्छ, किनभने कटनीको समय आएको छ ।”
30 Jesus also said, ‘To what can we liken the kingdom of God?
उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “हामीले परमेश्‍वरको राज्यलाई केसँग तुलना गर्ने अथवा यसलाई व्याख्या गर्न कुन दृष्‍टान्त प्रयोग गर्न सकिन्छ?
31 By what can we illustrate it? Perhaps by the growth of a mustard seed. This seed, when sown in the ground, though it is smaller than all other seeds,
यो रायोको (तोरीको) बिउजस्तो हो । यसलाई छर्दा पृथ्वीका बिउहरूमध्ये यो सबैभन्दा सानो हुन्छ ।
32 yet, when sown, shoots up, and becomes larger than any other herb, and puts out great branches, so that even the wild birds can roost in its shelter.’
तैपनि यसलाई छरेपछि यो बढ्छ र बगैँचाका सबै बिरुवाभन्दा ठुलो हुन्छ । यसमा ठुला हाँगाहरू पलाउँछ, ताकि आकाशमा उड्ने चराहरूले त्यसको छहारीमा गुँड बनाउन सकून् ।
33 With many such parables Jesus used to speak to the people of his message, as far as they were able to receive it;
यस्ता धेरै दृष्‍टान्तद्वारा तिनीहरूले बुझ्‍न सक्‍नेसम्म उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई वचन सुनाउनुभयो ।
34 and to them he never used to speak except in parables; but in private to his own disciples he explained everything.
अनि उहाँले दृष्‍टान्तविना केही बताउनुभएन । तर उहाँ गुप्‍तमा हुनुहुँदा उहाँले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई सबै कुरा व्याख्या गरिदिनुभयो ।
35 In the evening of the same day, Jesus said to them, ‘Let us go across.’
त्यो दिन जब साँझ पर्‍यो, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तालको पारिपट्टि जाऔँ ।”
36 So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them, just as he was, in the boat; and there were other boats with him.
त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले येशूलाई साथैमा लिएर त्यो भिडलाई छोडी राखेर गए, किनकि उहाँ पहिले नै डुङ्गामा हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उहाँसँग अरू डुङ्गाहरू पनि साथमा थिए ।
37 A violent squall came on, and the waves kept dashing into the boat, so that the boat was actually filling.
त्यहाँ भयङ्कर आँधी चल्न थाल्यो र छालहरू डुङ्गामा पस्‍न लागे, अनि डुङ्गा पानीले भरिन लाग्यो ।
38 Jesus was in the stern asleep on the cushion; and the disciples roused him and cried, ‘Teacher! Is it nothing to you that we are lost?’
तर येशू डुङ्गाको पछिल्लो भागमा सिरानी लगाएर मस्‍त निदाउनुभएको थियो । तिनीहरूले भने, “गुरुज्यू, हामी मर्न लागिसक्दा पनि तपाईंलाई वास्ता छैन?”
39 Jesus rose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Hush! Be still!’ Then the wind dropped, and a great calm followed.
अनि उहाँ ब्युँझनुभयो र बतासलाई हप्काउनुभयो अनि समुद्रलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “शान्त हो र रोकिजा ।” अनि बतास चल्न रोकियो र त्यहाँ सन्‍नाटा छायो ।
40 ‘Why are you so timid?’ he exclaimed. ‘Have you no faith yet?’
उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरू किन डराएको? के तिमीहरूसँग अझै विश्‍वास छैन?”
41 But they were struck with great awe, and said to one another, ‘Who can this be that even the wind and the sea obey him?’
तिनीहरू साह्रै डराए र एकले अर्कालाई भने, “यिनी को हुन्, किनभने बतास र समुद्रले पनि यिनले भनेको मान्छन्?”
