Mark 4
1 And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.
Alimwi Jesu wakatalika kuyiisya kali kumbali aalwizi. Inkamu yabantu bakamuzyungulukide yakali mpati loko zyakuti wakanjila mubwaato, kuchitila kuti akonzye kusosolokela mumaanzi akukkala, bantu boonse bakalitobezezye lwizi kunkomwe.
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching,
Mpawo wakabayiisya zintu zyiingi kabelesya zikozyanio, alimwi mukuyiisya kwakwe wakati,
3 Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:
“Amuswiilizye, mulimi wakaya kukumiza mbuto yakwe.
4 and it came to pass, as he sowed, some [seed] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it.
Awo naakali kumiza mbuto, imwi yakawida munzila, mpawo tuyuni twakasika twiilya.
5 And other fell on the rocky [ground], where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth:
Imwi yakawida amwaala, aatakwe muse mwiingi. Yakamena kufwambaana, nkaambo muse wakali muche.
6 and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
Pesi zuba nilyakabala yakapya, mpawo yakayuma nkaambo kamiyanda yakatabbide.
7 And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Imwi mbuto yakawida mumaamvwa, maamvwa akakomena asyanikizya matu aayo, aboobo teeyakakonzya kuzyala.
8 And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
Imwi mbuto yakawida mumuse uvubide. Yakamena, akukomena mane yazyala michelo, imwi makkumi otatwe, imwi makkumi musanu alimwi, imwi mwaanda.”
9 And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Lino wakati, “Ooyo ulaamatwi aakumvwa, ngamvwe.”
10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables.
Lino Jesu naakaba alike, mbakali aabo antoomwe abasikwiiya bakwe balikkumi ababili bakamubuzya aatala azikozyanisyo eezyo.
11 And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables:
Wakabaambila wati, “Insiswa ya bwami bwa Leza ilipedwe kuli ndinywe. Pesi kuli bamwi biyo bali kunze, zyoonse zyaambwa muzikozyanisyo,
12 that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them.
kuchitila kuti, lyoonse kababona pesi kabatabonesesyi, alimwi kabamvwa lyoonse, pesi kabatamvwisisisyi; kansinga balikumvwa balikunosanduka kabalekelelwa zibi zyabo.”
13 And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables?
Lino wakati kuli mbabo, “Ani sena tamulokumvwisisisya na chikozyanisyo eechi? Na kakuli boobo nga kulakonzeka biyeni kuti mumvwisisisye zimwi zikozyanisyo?
14 The sower soweth the word.
Mulimi uumiza mbuto nguwe uumiza jwi.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them.
Bamwi bantu bali mbuli nzila, aawo mpulimizidwe jwi. Mpawo mbubalimvwa biyo, Satani wasika wabweza jwi lyali lyamizwa muli mbabo.
16 And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky [places], who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;
Bamwi, mbuli muse ulaamwaala mpuyakamizwa mbuto, balalimvwa jwi, mpawo, akufwambaana balalitambula chakubotelwa.
17 and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.
Pesi nkaambo tabajisi miyanda ibbide, balajata kwachiindi chiniini biyo. Nikwasika mapenzi nikuba kusyonsegwa nkaambo kajwi, balafwambaana kuwa.
18 And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,
Alubo bamwi, mbuli muse ulaamaamvwa muyakamizwa mbuto, balalimvwa jwi,
19 and 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)
pesi masukusyo aanyika, kweenwa aabuvubi aziyandisyo zyazimwi zintu zyabuyo zilasika zyasyanikizya jwi, zyachita kuti litabi aamichelo. (aiōn g165)
20 And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
Bamwi, mbuli muse uuvubide muyakabyalwa mbuto, balalimvwa jwi, balitambula, akuzyala michelo imwi makkumi otatwe, imwi makkumi musanu alimwi, imwi kusika mwaanda.”
21 And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, [and] not to be put on the stand?
Jesu wakati kuli mbabo, “Sena nga mweeta lambi kuti mulitibbike alusuwo, na kulibika muchinkuma chabulo? Ani nga tamulibiki atala aachibikilo chalyo na?
22 For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was [anything] made secret, but that it should come to light.
Nkaambo zintu zyoonse zisisidwe ziyooyubununwa, alimwi choonse chitibbikidwe chiyotibbulwa.
23 If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Kufumbwa ulamatwi akumvwa ngamvwe.”
24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you: and more shall be given unto you.
Wakaya kunembo akubaambila kuti, “Amuchenjele loko nzimumvwa. Cheelesyo nchimubelesya anywebo muyoyelesegwa anchicho, nikuba kwindilila kulindinywe.
25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Nkaambo kufumbwa uujisi uyoopegwa zyiingi. Ooyo uutajisi, niziba nzyalaazyo uyoonyanzigwa.”
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;
Alimwi wakati, “Mbobubede oobu bwami bwa Leza mbuli muntu uumiza mbuto aansi.
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how.
Mpawo uloona mansiku akubuka nibwacha, pesi mbuto ilamena akukomena, nikuba kuti tazi mbozichitika.
28 The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear.
Muse awulike: ulamezya nseke zyamayila kusaanguna munsonga, kakutobela miyungi, mane miyungi yatuba.
29 But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Mayila mbaatuba biyo, ulabelesya chakunenzya, nkaambo chiindi chakutebula chasika.”
30 And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?
Alimwi wakati, “Sena niinzi nchitujnga tulachikozyanisya abwami bwa Leza, nakuti tubelesye chikozyanisyoonzi kubupandulula?
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,
Buli mbuuli mbuto itegwa musitada, ni mbuto ndiini loko njobyala aansi.
32 yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.
Pesi niyabyalwa, ilakomena kwiinda zilimwa zyoonse zyamumuunda, kilaamitabi mipati izyakuti tuyuni tulakonzya kukala mumweenzule wayo.”
33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it:
Jesu wakabaambila jwi kabelesya zikozyanisyo zyiingi mbuuli mbubalikumvwa,
34 and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.
mpawo taakwe nchaakabaambila pe katabelesezye chikozyanisyo. Pesi nakaba alike abasikwiiya bakwe, wakapandulula zyoonse.
35 And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side.
Oobo buzuba, nilyakaba goko, wakati kuli mbabo, “Atuzubuke tuye mutala.”
36 And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
Bakasiya makamu makamu aabantu musule, bakamutobela, mubwaato mwakabede Jesu. Amwi maato akaliwo aalawo akamutobela.
37 And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling.
Mbubakendeenda biyo kwakawunga guwo pati, alimwi mayuwe akalikukupila maanzi mubwaato, mane bwaato bwakasizule.
38 And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
Jesu wakalilede kasegede musego, kusule mubwaato. Basikwiiya bakamubusya alimwi bakati kuli nguwe, “Omuyiisyi, sena tokwe nolikataazya nikuba kuti twaamba kufwa?”
39 And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Wakabuka, wakalayilila guwo, alimwi wakati kumayuwe, “Umuna! Batama!” Mpawo guwo lyakuumuna, mayuwe akayosa, kuumuna kuti zii!
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?
Wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe, “Nkamboonzi nimuyoowa boobu? Sena ambuli sunu tamunaba lusyomo na?”
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Bakayoowa loko alimwi bakabuzyania bati, “Ani ngwani ooyu, nkaambo guwo amayuwe zilamumvwa akumuswiilila?”
