Mark 4
1 And, again, began he to be teaching by the sea; and there come together unto him a very great multitude, so that, he, into a boat, entering, was sitting upon the sea, —and, all the multitude, were, near the sea upon the land.
anantaraṁ sa samudrataṭe punarupadeṣṭuṁ prārebhe, tatastatra bahujanānāṁ samāgamāt sa sāgaropari naukāmāruhya samupaviṣṭaḥ; sarvve lokāḥ samudrakūle tasthuḥ|
2 And he began to teach them, in parables, many things, and was saying unto them, in his teaching—
tadā sa dṛṣṭāntakathābhi rbahūpadiṣṭavān upadiśaṁśca kathitavān,
3 Hearken! Lo! the sower went forth to sow;
avadhānaṁ kuruta, eko bījavaptā bījāni vaptuṁ gataḥ;
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell by the pathway, and the birds came, and devoured it;
vapanakāle kiyanti bījāni mārgapāśve patitāni, tata ākāśīyapakṣiṇa etya tāni cakhāduḥ|
5 And, some, fell on the rocky places, [even] where it had not much earth, —and, straightway, it sprang forth, by reason of its not having depth of earth;
kiyanti bījāni svalpamṛttikāvatpāṣāṇabhūmau patitāni tāni mṛdolpatvāt śīghramaṅkuritāni;
6 and, when the sun arose, it was scorched, —and, by reason of its not having root, it was dried up;
kintūdite sūryye dagdhāni tathā mūlāno nādhogatatvāt śuṣkāṇi ca|
7 And, some, fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and, fruit, it yielded not;
kiyanti bījāni kaṇṭakivanamadhye patitāni tataḥ kaṇṭakāni saṁvṛdvya tāni jagrasustāni na ca phalitāni|
8 And, other, fell into the good ground, and was yielding fruit, coming up and growing, —and was bearing, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold,
tathā kiyanti bījānyuttamabhūmau patitāni tāni saṁvṛdvya phalānyutpāditāni kiyanti bījāni triṁśadguṇāni kiyanti ṣaṣṭiguṇāni kiyanti śataguṇāni phalāni phalitavanti|
9 And he was saying—He that hath ears to hear, let him hear!
atha sa tānavadat yasya śrotuṁ karṇau staḥ sa śṛṇotu|
10 And when he was alone they who were about him with the twelve questioned him as to the parables;
tadanantaraṁ nirjanasamaye tatsaṅgino dvādaśaśiṣyāśca taṁ taddṛṣṭāntavākyasyārthaṁ papracchuḥ|
11 and he was saying unto them—To you, the sacred secret hath been given of the kingdom of God, whereas, to them who are outside, in parables are all things coming to pass, —that
tadā sa tānuditavān īśvararājyasya nigūḍhavākyaṁ boddhuṁ yuṣmākamadhikāro'sti;
12 They may surely look and yet not see, and surely hear and yet not understand, lest once they should return and it be forgiven them.
kintu ye vahirbhūtāḥ "te paśyantaḥ paśyanti kintu na jānanti, śṛṇvantaḥ śṛṇvanti kintu na budhyante, cettai rmanaḥsu kadāpi parivarttiteṣu teṣāṁ pāpānyamocayiṣyanta," atohetostān prati dṛṣṭāntaireva tāni mayā kathitāni|
13 And he saith unto them—Know ye not this parable? How then will ye get to know all the parables?
atha sa kathitavān yūyaṁ kimetad dṛṣṭāntavākyaṁ na budhyadhve? tarhi kathaṁ sarvvān dṛṣṭāntāna bhotsyadhve?
14 The sower, soweth the word;
bījavaptā vākyarūpāṇi bījāni vapati;
15 And these are they beside the pathway where the word is sown, —and, as soon as they hear, straightway, cometh Satan, and snatcheth away the word which hath been sown into them;
tatra ye ye lokā vākyaṁ śṛṇvanti, kintu śrutamātrāt śaitān śīghramāgatya teṣāṁ manaḥsūptāni tāni vākyarūpāṇi bījānyapanayati taeva uptabījamārgapārśvesvarūpāḥ|
16 And these are likewise they upon the rocky places sown, —who, as soon as they hear the word, straightway, with joy receive it,
ye janā vākyaṁ śrutvā sahasā paramānandena gṛhlanti, kintu hṛdi sthairyyābhāvāt kiñcit kālamātraṁ tiṣṭhanti tatpaścāt tadvākyahetoḥ
17 and have no root in themselves, but, only for a season are, —afterwards, when there ariseth tribulation or persecution by reason of the word, straightway, they find cause of stumbling;
kutracit kleśe upadrave vā samupasthite tadaiva vighnaṁ prāpnuvanti taeva uptabījapāṣāṇabhūmisvarūpāḥ|
18 And others are they who among thorns are sown, —these are they who hear the word,
ye janāḥ kathāṁ śṛṇvanti kintu sāṁsārikī cintā dhanabhrānti rviṣayalobhaśca ete sarvve upasthāya tāṁ kathāṁ grasanti tataḥ mā viphalā bhavati (aiōn g165)
19 and, the anxieties of the age, and the deceit of wealth, and the covetings about the remaining things, entering in, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh; (aiōn g165)
taeva uptabījasakaṇṭakabhūmisvarūpāḥ|
20 And those yonder are they who on the good ground are sown, —who, indeed, hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit—thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.
ye janā vākyaṁ śrutvā gṛhlanti teṣāṁ kasya vā triṁśadguṇāni kasya vā ṣaṣṭiguṇāni kasya vā śataguṇāni phalāni bhavanti taeva uptabījorvvarabhūmisvarūpāḥ|
21 And he was saying unto them—Doth the lamp come that under the measure it should be put, or under the couch? Is it not that upon the lampstand it may be put?
tadā so'paramapi kathitavān kopi jano dīpādhāraṁ parityajya droṇasyādhaḥ khaṭvāyā adhe vā sthāpayituṁ dīpamānayati kiṁ?
22 For it is not hidden, save that it may be made visible; neither did it get hidden away, but that it might come into a place where it could be seen.
atoheto ryanna prakāśayiṣyate tādṛg lukkāyitaṁ kimapi vastu nāsti; yad vyaktaṁ na bhaviṣyati tādṛśaṁ guptaṁ kimapi vastu nāsti|
23 If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
yasya śrotuṁ karṇau staḥ sa śṛṇotu|
24 And he was saying unto them—Be taking heed what ye are hearing: —with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you, and added unto you;
aparamapi kathitavān yūyaṁ yad yad vākyaṁ śṛṇutha tatra sāvadhānā bhavata, yato yūyaṁ yena parimāṇena parimātha tenaiva parimāṇena yuṣmadarthamapi parimāsyate; śrotāro yūyaṁ yuṣmabhyamadhikaṁ dāsyate|
25 For, he that hath, it shall be given, unto him, and, he that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him.
yasyāśraye varddhate tasmai aparamapi dāsyate, kintu yasyāśraye na varddhate tasya yat kiñcidasti tadapi tasmān neṣyate|
26 And he was saying—Thus, is the kingdom of God: As a man may cast seed upon the earth,
anantaraṁ sa kathitavān eko lokaḥ kṣetre bījānyuptvā
27 and be sleeping and rising, night and day, —and the seed be sprouting, and lengthening itself, —how, he, knoweth not:
jāgaraṇanidrābhyāṁ divāniśaṁ gamayati, parantu tadvījaṁ tasyājñātarūpeṇāṅkurayati varddhate ca;
28 of itself, the earth beareth fruit, —first, a blade, afterwards, an ear, after that, full corn in the ear;
yatohetoḥ prathamataḥ patrāṇi tataḥ paraṁ kaṇiśāni tatpaścāt kaṇiśapūrṇāni śasyāni bhūmiḥ svayamutpādayati;
29 but, as soon as the fruit yieldeth itself up, straightway, he sendeth forth the sickle, because standing by is the harvest.—
kintu phaleṣu pakkeṣu śasyacchedanakālaṁ jñātvā sa tatkṣaṇaṁ śasyāni chinatti, anena tulyamīśvararājyaṁ|
30 And he was saying—How shall we liken the kingdom of God, or, in what parable, shall we put it?
punaḥ so'kathayad īśvararājyaṁ kena samaṁ? kena vastunā saha vā tadupamāsyāmi?
31 As a grain of mustard seed, —which, whensoever it may be sown upon the earth, is less than all the seeds that are upon the earth;
tat sarṣapaikena tulyaṁ yato mṛdi vapanakāle sarṣapabījaṁ sarvvapṛthivīsthabījāt kṣudraṁ
32 and, as soon as it is sown, springeth up, and becometh greater than all garden plants, and produceth large branches, so that, under the shade thereof, the birds of heaven can find shelter.
kintu vapanāt param aṅkurayitvā sarvvaśākād bṛhad bhavati, tasya bṛhatyaḥ śākhāśca jāyante tatastacchāyāṁ pakṣiṇa āśrayante|
33 And, with many such parables as these, was he speaking unto them the word, —according as they were able to hear;
itthaṁ teṣāṁ bodhānurūpaṁ so'nekadṛṣṭāntaistānupadiṣṭavān,
34 but, without a parable, was he not speaking unto them, —privately, however, unto his own disciples, was he explaining all things.
dṛṣṭāntaṁ vinā kāmapi kathāṁ tebhyo na kathitavān paścān nirjane sa śiṣyān sarvvadṛṣṭāntārthaṁ bodhitavān|
35 And he saith unto them, on that day, when evening came, Let us cross over unto the other side;
taddinasya sandhyāyāṁ sa tebhyo'kathayad āgacchata vayaṁ pāraṁ yāma|
36 and, dismissing the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat, and, other boats, were with him.
tadā te lokān visṛjya tamavilambaṁ gṛhītvā naukayā pratasthire; aparā api nāvastayā saha sthitāḥ|
37 And there ariseth a great tempest of wind, —and, the waves, were dashing over into the boat, so that, already being filled, was the boat.
tataḥ paraṁ mahājhañbhśagamāt nau rdolāyamānā taraṅgeṇa jalaiḥ pūrṇābhavacca|
38 And he was in the stern, on the cushion, sleeping. And they arouse him, and say unto him, Teacher! carest thou not that we perish?
tadā sa naukācaścādbhāge upadhāne śiro nidhāya nidrita āsīt tataste taṁ jāgarayitvā jagaduḥ, he prabho, asmākaṁ prāṇā yānti kimatra bhavataścintā nāsti?
39 And, roused up, he rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea—Hush! be still! and the wind lulled, and it became a great calm.
tadā sa utthāya vāyuṁ tarjitavān samudrañcoktavān śāntaḥ susthiraśca bhava; tato vāyau nivṛtte'bdhirnistaraṅgobhūt|
40 And he said unto them—Why, are ye, fearful? Not yet, have ye faith?
tadā sa tānuvāca yūyaṁ kuta etādṛkśaṅkākulā bhavata? kiṁ vo viśvāso nāsti?
41 And they were caused to fear a great fear, and were saying one to another—Who then is, this, that, both the wind and the sea, give ear unto him?
tasmātte'tīvabhītāḥ parasparaṁ vaktumārebhire, aho vāyuḥ sindhuścāsya nideśagrāhiṇau kīdṛgayaṁ manujaḥ|
