Mark 4
1 Jesus again began to teach by the sea; and, as an immense crowd was gathering around 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.
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 Then he taught them many truths in parables; and in the course of his teaching he said to them:
Ta näitlikustas oma õpetusi paljude lugudega.
3 “Listen! The sower went out to sow;
„Kuulake, “ütles ta. „Üks külvaja läks välja külvama.
4 and presently, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path; and the birds came, and ate it up.
Kui ta külvates seemneid laiali puistas, kukkus osa teerajale, linnud tulid ja sõid seemned sealt ära.
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and, because the soil wasn’t deep, sprang up at once;
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 rose, it was scorched, and, because their roots were not deep enough, withered away.
kõrvetas päike taimi. Kuna neil ei olnud päris juuri, närbusid taimed peagi.
7 Some of the seed fell among brambles; but the brambles shot up and completely choked it, and it yielded no return.
Osa seemneid pudenes ohakate sekka. Ohakad kasvasid suureks ja lämmatasid tärkava orase, nii et sellest ei tulnud midagi.
8 Some fell into good soil, and, shooting up and growing, yielded a return, amounting to thirty, sixty, and even 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 Jesus said, “Let anyone who has ears to hear with hear.”
Kui teil on kuulmiseks kõrvad, siis kuulake, mida ma teile räägin.“
10 Afterward, when he was alone, his followers and the Twelve asked him about his parables;
Kui Jeesus oli omapead, küsisid kaksteist jüngrit ja teised, kes olid koos temaga, mida need võrdlused tähendasid.
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 –
Ta ütles neile: „Teie saate Jumala riigi mõistatusest aru. Kuid kõrvalseisjatel on ainult lood,
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.’”
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 “You do not know the meaning of this parable?” he went on, “Then how will you understand all the other 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 sows the message.
Külvaja külvab sõna.
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.
Seemned rajal, kuhu sõna külvati, kujutavad neid, kes kuulevad sõnumit, kuid siis tuleb kohe Saatan ja võtab ära sõna, mis neisse on külvatud.
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;
Samal kombel kujutab kivine pind, kuhu seemned langesid, neid, kes kuulevad sõna ja võtavad selle kohe rõõmuga vastu.
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.
Aga kuna neil ei ole päris juuri, jäävad nad püsima ainult veidikeseks ajaks, kuni tulevad probleemid või tagakiusamine, ja siis langevad nad kiiresti.
18 Those meant by the seed sown among the brambles are different; they are the people who hear the message,
Ohakate sekka külvatu kujutab neid, kes kuulevad sõna,
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)
kuid selle maailma mured, rikkuse ahvatlus ja muud segavad asjaolud lämmatavad sõna kasvu ja see ei kanna vilja. (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.”
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 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?
Kes paneb lambi ämbri või voodi alla?“küsis Jeesus neilt. „Ei, lamp pannakse üles lambijalale.
22 There is nothing hidden that will not come to light and nothing is concealed that will not be brought into the open.
Kõik, mis on varjatud, tuleb ilmsiks ja kõik, mis on salajas, saab avalikuks.
23 Let all who have ears to hear with hear.
Kui teil on kõrvad kuulmiseks, siis kuulake, mida ma räägin!
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.
Pange tähele seda, mida te kuulete, “ütles ta neile, „sest teile antakse vastavalt sellele, kui palju tahate vastu võtta, mõõt mõõdu eest.
25 For, to those who have, more will be given; while, from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.”
Neile, kel juba on arusaamine, antakse rohkem, kuid neilt, kes ei taha teada, võetakse ära seegi vähene arusaamine, mis neil on.
26 Jesus also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like – like a man who has scattered seed on the ground,
Jumala riik on nagu mees, kes külvab põllule seemet, “ütles Jeesus.
27 and then sleeps by night and rises by day, while the seed is shooting up and growing – 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 The ground bears the crop of itself – first the blade, then the ear, and then the full grain in the ear;
Maa annab saaki iseenesest. Kõigepealt tuleb välja oras, seejärel viljapea ja siis küpse viljaga pea.
29 but, as soon as the crop is ready, immediately he puts in the sickle because harvest has come.”
Kui vili on küps, koristab põllumees selle sirbiga, sest saak on valmis.
30 Jesus also said, “To what can we liken the kingdom of God?
Millega võrrelda Jumala riiki? Missugust näidet kasutada?“küsis ta.
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,
„See on nagu sinepiseeme − kõige pisem seeme.
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.”
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 With many such parables Jesus used to speak to the people of his message, as far as they were able to receive it;
Jeesus kasutas rahvale kõneledes palju selliseid näitlikke lugusid, et nad mõistaksid võimalikult hästi.
34 and to them he never used to speak except in parables; but in private to his own disciples he explained everything.
Õigupoolest kasutas ta avalikult rääkides üksnes jutustusi, kuid omaette olles selgitas ta oma jüngritele kõike.
35 In the evening of the same day, Jesus said to them, “Let us go across.”
Samal päeval hiljem − õhtul − ütles ta oma jüngritele: „Lähme üle mere teisele poole.“
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.
Jätnud rahvahulga maha, läksid jüngrid koos Jeesusega paati. Nende juures oli veel teisigi paate.
37 A violent squall came on, and the waves kept dashing into the boat, so that the boat was actually filling.
Peagi hakkas möllama kohutav torm, lained paiskusid vastu paati ja lõid vett sisse.
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?”
Jeesus magas ahtris, pea padjale toetatud. Jüngrid äratasid ta kisendades: „Õpetaja, kas sa ei hooli sellest, et me oleme uppumas?“
39 Jesus rose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Hush! Be still!” Then the wind dropped, and a great calm followed.
Jeesus ärkas. Ta käskis tuulel vaibuda ja ütles lainetele: „Rahunege! Ärge möllake!“Tuul vaibus ja vesi jäi täiesti tüüneks.
40 “Why are you so timid?” he exclaimed. “Have you no faith yet?”
„Miks te nii väga kohkusite? Kas te ei ole õppinud mind usaldama?“küsis ta neilt.
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?”
Nad olid jahmunud ja ehmunud. Nad küsisid üksteiselt: „Kes ta ometi on? Isegi tuul ja lained kuuletuvad talle!“
