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.
Mme boidiidi jwa batho jo bo senang palo jwa mo dikaganyetsa mo lotshitshing fa a ntse a ruta, hong a tsena mo mokorong a nna fa fatshe a bua a le mo teng ga one.
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching,
Mokgwa wa gagwe wa gale wa go ruta e ne e le go bolelela batho dipolelo. Nngwe ya tsone e tsamaile jaana:
3 Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:
“Reetsang! Molemi o kile a ikaelela go jala peo. Mme ya re a e gasa mo tshimong ya gagwe,
4 and it came to pass, as he sowed, some [seed] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it.
nngwe ya yone ya wela mo tseleng, mme dinonyane tsa tla tsa e sela tsa e e ja.
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:
Nngwe ya yone ya wela mo mmung o mosesane fa go neng go ikadile lefika teng. Ya gola ka bonako, mme ya akofa ya swabisiwa ke mogote wa letsatsi ya a swa, ka ntlha ya gore medi ya yone e ne e sa otlega sentle mo mmung o o seng boteng.
6 and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Tse dingwe dipeo tsa wela mo mitlweng, mme mitlwa ya gola ya hupetsa dijalo tse di potlana, jalo tsa se ka tsa ungwa,
8 And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
“Mme tse dingwe tsa wela mo mmung o o molemo, tsa ungwa ga masome a mararo tsa ata go fetisa jaaka a ne a jetse, dingwe tsa tsone tsa ungwa ga masome a marataro kgotsa lekgolo.
9 And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Fa lo na le ditsebe, reetsang!”
10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables.
Mme morago ga moo fa a le esi le ba ba lesome le bobedi le bangwe ba barutwa ba gagwe, ba mmotsa ba re, “Polelo ya gago e raya eng?”
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:
Mme a ba araba a re, “Lo letleletswe go itse boammaaruri ka ga Bogosi jwa Modimo jo bo fitlhetsweng ba ba kwa ntle ga Bogosi: jaaka Moporofiti Isaia a bolela a re, ‘Le fa ba bona ebile ba utlwa ga ba kitla ba tlhaloganya, kgotsa ba sokologela mo Modimong kgotsa ba itshwarelwa dibe tsa bone.’
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.
13 And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables?
“Mme fa lo se ka ke lwa tlhaloganya setshwantsho se se motlhofo se, lo tlaa dira jang kaga tse dingwe tse ke yang go di bolela.
14 The sower soweth the word.
Molemi yo ke neng ke bua ka ga gagwe ke mongwe yo o lereditseng batho molaetsa wa Modimo, a leka go jala peo e e siameng mo matshelong a bone.
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.
Tsela e e thata, fa go wetseng peo nngwe teng e tshwantshiwa le bopelo-e-thata jwa batho bangwe ba ba utlwang lefoko la Modimo; mme e re ka bofefo Satane a tle a leke go ba lebatsa lefoko.
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;
Mme mmu o o lokgwarapana o tshwantshiwa le dipelo tsa batho ba ba utlwang molaetsa ka boitumelo,
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.
mme jaaka ditlhatshana tse di mo mmung o o ntseng jalo, medi ya tsone ga e tsenelele mo teng, le fa, lwa ntlha di gola sentle, ere ka bonako fa matshwenyego a simologa di korobele.
18 And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,
“Mmu o o mitlwa ke sesupo sa dipelo tsa batho ba ba reetsang Mafoko a a Molemo ba bo ba a amogela,
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)
mme ka bofefo dithato tsa lefatshe le menate ya mahumo le go batla go tswelela pele le go eletsa dilo tse dintle go tsene ka bofefo mme go kgoreletse molaetsa wa Modimo mo dipelong tsa bone mme go seke go nne loungo lope. (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.
“Mme mmu o o molemo o tshwantshiwa le dipelo tsa batho ba ba amogelang molaetsa wa Modimo ka boammaaruri, mme ba ungwele Modimo thobo e ntsi thata, ba ungwe ga masome a mararo le ga masome a le marataro le ga lekgolo tota go gaisa jaaka go jetswe mo dipelong tsa bone.”
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?
Hong a ba botsa a re, “Fa mongwe a tshuba lobone, a o lo baya ka fa tlase ga tafole gore lo fitlhe lesedi? Go ka se nne jalo! Lesedi ga le ka ke la bonwa kgotsa la dirisiwa. Lobone lo siametse go bewa mo setlhomong go bonesa le go nna le mosola.
22 For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was [anything] made secret, but that it should come to light.
Gonne sengwe le sengwe se se fitlhegileng letsatsi lengwe se tlaa nna mo leseding.
23 If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Fa lo na le ditsebe, reetsang!
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.
Mme gape tlhomamisang lo dirise se lo se utlwang. Gantsi fa lo dira jalo, lo tlaa kgona go tlhaloganya thata se ke se lo bolelelang.
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.
Mme yo o nang le sengwe o tlaa newa; mme yo o senang sepe o tlaa tseelwa le se o nang le sone tota.
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;
Setshwantsho sengwe ke se, se se supang gore bogosi jwa Modimo bo ntse jang: Molemi o kile a jala peo mo tshimong ya gagwe,
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how.
mme a tsamaya, ya re malatsi a ntse a feta, dijalo tsa gola kwa ntle ga tlhokomelo ya gagwe.
28 The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear.
Gonne mmu o ne o godisa dijalo. La ntlha mogwang wa tswa, diako tsa tlhoga, mme morago mabele a butswa.
29 But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Hong molemi a tla ka thipa ya gagwe a akofa a roba.”
30 And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?
Mme Jesu a ba botsa a re, “Ke ka tshwantsha Bogosi jwa Modimo jang? Ke ka dirisa polelo efe go bo tshwantsha?
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,
Bo tshwana le peo ya mosetara! Le ntswa e le nngwe ya dipeo tse di potlana, e gola e nna nngwe ya ditlhare tse di tona thata, e nne le dikala tse di telele mo dinonyane di ka agang dintlhaga tsa tsone teng mme tsa sireletsega.”
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.
33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it:
O ne a dirisa ditshwantsho di le dintsi tse di ntseng jalo go ruta batho ka fa ba ka kgonang go tlhaloganya ka teng.
34 and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.
Legale, o ne a ruta fela ka ditshwantsho fa a ruta mo pepeneneng, mme e re morago ga moo, fa a le esi le barutwa ba gagwe a simolole go ba di tlhalosetsa.
35 And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side.
Mme ya re mo maitseboeng, Jesu a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “A re tsheleleng ka kwa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha.”
36 And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
Hong ba mo tsaya, ba tswelela, ba tlogela bontsi jwa batho (le fa mekoro e mengwe e ne ya ba sala morago).
37 And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling.
Mme ya re ka bonako matsubutsubu a magolo a phefo a tsoga. Makhubu a metse a simolola go tlolela mo mokorong go fitlhelela metse a tlala mo mokorong ebile o tloga o nwela.
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 o ne a robetse kwa motsheo ga mokoro a samile mosamo. Mme ka bonako ba mo tsosa ka letshogo le legolo ba re, “Moruti, a ga o tshwenyege le fa re tloga re nwela rotlhe?”
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.
Hong a kgalemela phefo a raya lewatle a re, “Didimala!” Mme phefo ya didimala, ga ba ga nna tuulalo e kgolo!
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?
Mme a ba botsa a re, “Lo ne lo tshositswe ke eng? A le jaana ga lo ise lo bo lo inkanye?”
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Mme ba tlala poifo thata ba ipotsa ba re, “Monna yo ke mang, yo diphefo le mawatle di mo utlwang?”
