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.
Junmul chik ri Jesús xuchapleꞌj uyaꞌik kꞌutuꞌn chuchiꞌ ri plo. Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xkimulij kibꞌ chutayik ri kꞌutuꞌn rumal riꞌ xaqꞌan ri Jesús pa jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ. Konojel ri winaq xekꞌojiꞌ chuchiꞌ ri plo.
2 Then he taught them many truths in parables; and in the course of his teaching he said to them:
Xuchapleꞌj ukꞌutik sibꞌalaj kꞌi jastaq rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj jewaꞌ xubꞌij:
3 “Listen! The sower went out to sow;
¡Chitampeꞌ! Jun ajtikolobꞌ xeꞌ pa tikoꞌnijik.
4 and presently, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path; and the birds came, and ate it up.
Are xuchikoj ri ijaꞌ, nikꞌaj xqaj chuchiꞌ ri bꞌe, xoꞌpan ri chochiꞌ xkitijo.
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and, because the soil wasn’t deep, sprang up at once;
Nikꞌaj ijaꞌ chik xqaj chuxoꞌl ri abꞌaj, jawjeꞌ man nim taj ulew kꞌolik. Aninaq xkꞌiy loq ri tikoꞌn rumal man naj taj qajinaq ri ulew.
6 but, when the sun rose, it was scorched, and, because their roots were not deep enough, withered away.
Are xel loq ri qꞌij, xechaqiꞌjar ri tikoꞌn rumal man naj taj qajinaq ri ukꞌaꞌmal pa ri ulew.
7 Some of the seed fell among brambles; but the brambles shot up and completely choked it, and it yielded no return.
Nikꞌaj ijaꞌ chik xqaj chuxoꞌl ri kꞌix, are xekꞌiy loq xejiqꞌ chuxoꞌl ri kꞌix, man xewachin taj.
8 Some fell into good soil, and, shooting up and growing, yielded a return, amounting to thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.”
Ri nikꞌaj ijaꞌ chik xeqaj pa ri utz ulew. Are xkꞌiy loq, xenimaꞌqirik, xewachinik e jujun xkiya juwinaq lajuj, e nikꞌaj oxkꞌal e nikꞌaj chik jun ciento.
9 And Jesus said, “Let anyone who has ears to hear with hear.”
Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús: Ri kꞌo uxikin chutatabꞌexik, chutatabꞌej.
10 Afterward, when he was alone, his followers and the Twelve asked him about his parables;
Are xebꞌe konojel ri winaq, xeqet ri kabꞌlajuj utijoxelabꞌ rukꞌ ri Jesús, xkita che jas ubꞌanik ri kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj.
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 –
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Yaꞌtal chiꞌwe ix kiwetaꞌmaj ri ajawarem rech ri Dios; are kꞌu ri man e qachiꞌl taj rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj kinbꞌij chike.
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.’”
Jeriꞌ rumal cher pune kekaꞌyik man kakichꞌobꞌ taj ri kakilo, pune kakito man kakichꞌobꞌ taj ri kakitatabꞌej. Rech man kakikꞌex taj kikꞌuꞌx xuqujeꞌ man kekuyutaj taj.
13 “You do not know the meaning of this parable?” he went on, “Then how will you understand all the other parables?
¿Man kichomaj taj we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ? Man kixkwin ta bꞌa ri kichomaj ronojel ri nikꞌaj chik.
14 The sower sows the message.
Ri ajtikolobꞌ kutik ri utzij ri Dios.
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.
E kꞌo winaq kejunumataj rukꞌ ri ulew ri kꞌo chuchiꞌ ri bꞌe. Are katatabꞌetaj ri tzij kumal kape ri itzel karesaj pa kanimaꞌ.
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;
E jujun chik kejunumataj rukꞌ ri abꞌaj ulew. Sibꞌalaj kekiꞌkotik are kakitatabꞌej ri tzij.
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.
Man katikiꞌ ta kꞌu ri tzij pa kanimaꞌ, man naj taj kuqꞌiꞌo. Are kape kꞌaxkꞌolal, o kabꞌan kꞌax chike xa rumal ri utz laj tzij, kakijelechꞌuj kanoq kibꞌe.
18 Those meant by the seed sown among the brambles are different; they are the people who hear the message,
E nikꞌaj chik kejunumataj rukꞌ ri kꞌix ulew: kakitatabꞌej ri tzij.
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)
Are kꞌu ri kirajawaxik rech we kꞌaslemal rech uwachulew, ri subꞌunik, xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌinomal, itzel taq rayinik, kakijiqꞌisaj ri utz laj tzij, man kawachin taj. (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.”
Nikꞌaj chik kejunumataj rukꞌ ri utz ulew. Kakitatabꞌej ri tzij, kakikꞌamawaꞌj pa kanimaꞌ, kewachinik kakiya juwinaq lajuj, kakiya oxkꞌal, kakiya jun ciento kiwach.
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?
Xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ ri Jesús chike: ¿La katzij jun lámpara kꞌa te riꞌ kaya chuxeꞌ jun chꞌat o chuxeꞌ jun cajon? ¿La man xa kaya pa jun kꞌolibꞌal chikaj rech katunanik?
22 There is nothing hidden that will not come to light and nothing is concealed that will not be brought into the open.
Maj jun jastaq awatalik ri mat kariqitaj na, xuqujeꞌ maj jun jastaq ri xaq pa awal bꞌiꞌtalik ri mat ketaꞌmataj na.
23 Let all who have ears to hear with hear.
Ri kꞌo uxikin chutatabꞌexik, chutatabꞌej.
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.
Ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ xubꞌij: Chichajij iwibꞌ che ri kito. Rukꞌ ri pajbꞌal ri kixpajanik, rukꞌ riꞌ kapaj na ri jastaq iwe, kayaꞌtaj ne na uwiꞌ.
25 For, to those who have, more will be given; while, from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.”
Ri kꞌo rukꞌ kayaꞌtaj nim che, are kꞌu ri maj kꞌo rukꞌ kamaj na che ri nitzꞌ ri kꞌo rukꞌ.
26 Jesus also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like – like a man who has scattered seed on the ground,
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Ri ajawarem rech ri Dios kajunumataj rukꞌ ri ajtikolobꞌ ri kuchikoj ri ijaꞌ pa ri ulew.
27 and then sleeps by night and rises by day, while the seed is shooting up and growing – he knows not how.
Ri ajtikolobꞌ pune kawarik o man kawar taj, ri ijaꞌ chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ tajin kakꞌiyik. Pune jeriꞌ man retaꞌm ta kꞌut jas kubꞌan ri ijaꞌ che ukꞌiyem.
28 The ground bears the crop of itself – first the blade, then the ear, and then the full grain in the ear;
Ri ijaꞌ kawachinik pa utukel: nabꞌe katuxar loq, kꞌa te riꞌ kakꞌiy loq ri ujolom, kꞌisbꞌal rech kakꞌiy loq ri uwach.
29 but, as soon as the crop is ready, immediately he puts in the sickle because harvest has come.”
Are kutzir ri tikoꞌn, kaqꞌatik, rumal cher xopan ri qꞌij rech yakoj.
30 Jesus also said, “To what can we liken the kingdom of God?
Xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ ri Jesús: ¿Jas rukꞌ kaqajunamaj wi ri ajawarem rech ri Dios? ¿Jas kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj kaqakoj chutzijoxik rij?
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,
Kajunumataj rukꞌ jun uwach moxtansia. Nitzꞌ chikiwach konojel ri ijaꞌ are katikik.
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.”
Are kakꞌiy loq sibꞌalaj nim keꞌek, kux jun nimalaj cheꞌ chikiwach ri nikꞌaj e tikoꞌn chik. Nimaꞌq kebꞌe ri uqꞌabꞌ, chilaꞌ kakibꞌan wi kisok ri aꞌwaj ri kerapinik.
33 With many such parables Jesus used to speak to the people of his message, as far as they were able to receive it;
Rukꞌ jaljoj kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj xuya uchꞌobꞌik ri Jesús ri kꞌutuꞌn chike ri winaq. Jas na kꞌu ri xkwin ri kichomabꞌal chuchꞌobꞌik.
34 and to them he never used to speak except in parables; but in private to his own disciples he explained everything.
Rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj xubꞌij chike ri winaq ronojel ri jastaq. Are xaq xwi ri utijoxelabꞌ e kꞌo rukꞌ, xubꞌij chike jas jeꞌ kel kubꞌij ri kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj.
35 In the evening of the same day, Jesus said to them, “Let us go across.”
Chaqꞌabꞌ che ri qꞌij riꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: Chujqꞌax chꞌaqaꞌp.
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.
Ri tijoxelabꞌ xeꞌl bꞌik kukꞌ ri winaq, xebꞌek rukꞌ ri Jesús pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ, e kꞌo chi nikꞌaj winaq xaqꞌan bꞌik pa nikꞌaj taq jukubꞌ chik, xebꞌe kukꞌ.
37 A violent squall came on, and the waves kept dashing into the boat, so that the boat was actually filling.
Are e kꞌo chi puꞌwiꞌ ri plo, xwaꞌjil aqꞌanoq jun nimalaj kyaqiqꞌal jabꞌ, ri jaꞌ xuchapleꞌj okem pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal karaj kasach kanoq chuxeꞌ ri plo.
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?”
Ri Jesús tajin kawarik pa ri kꞌisbꞌal tꞌuyulibꞌal ri kꞌo pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal, ri e tijoxelabꞌ aninaq xkikꞌasuj xkibꞌij che: ¡Ajtij! ¿la man kil la chi raj kujkamik?
39 Jesus rose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Hush! Be still!” Then the wind dropped, and a great calm followed.
Xwaꞌjilik ri Jesús, xuyaj ri kyaqiqꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che ri plo: Chatuxlanoq. Ri plo xjoriꞌk xuta chꞌabꞌexik.
40 “Why are you so timid?” he exclaimed. “Have you no faith yet?”
Ri Jesús xuta chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: ¿Jas che sibꞌalaj kixiꞌj iwibꞌ? ¿Maj ikojobꞌal?
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?”
Ri tijoxelabꞌ sibꞌalaj xkixiꞌj kibꞌ kakibꞌij chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿Jachin we achi riꞌ, ri plo rachiꞌl ri kyaqiqꞌ keniman che?
