Mark 4
1 Another time Jesus began to teach [people] alongside Lake [Galilee. As he was doing that, a very large crowd gathered around him. Because people were jostling him], he got into a boat in the lake [so that he could speak to the crowd better. Then he sat in it and began to teach the crowd from the boat]. At the same time, the crowd was on the shore close to the lake.
Ja hän rupesi taas opettamaan järven rannalla. Ja hänen luoksensa kokoontui hyvin paljon kansaa, jonka tähden hän astui venheeseen ja istui siinä järvellä, ja kaikki kansa oli maalla järven rannalla.
2 Then he taught them many parables. While he was teaching them, he told them [this]:
Ja hän opetti heitä paljon vertauksilla ja sanoi heille opettaessaan:
3 “Consider [well the meaning of this illustration]: A man/farmer went out [to his field] to sow [some seeds].
"Kuulkaa! Katso, kylväjä lähti kylvämään.
4 As he was scattering them [over the soil], some [of the] seeds fell on the path. Then some birds came and ate those seeds.
Ja hänen kylväessään osa putosi tien oheen, ja linnut tulivat ja söivät sen.
5 Other [seeds] fell on ground where there was not much soil [on top of] rock. Very soon the [seeds] sprouted because [the sun warmed] the moist soil quickly where it was not deep.
Ja osa putosi kallioperälle, jossa sillä ei ollut paljon maata, ja se nousi kohta oraalle, kun sillä ei ollut syvää maata.
6 But after the sun shone [on those young plants], they became scorched. Then they withered because they did not have [deep] roots.
Mutta auringon noustua se paahtui, ja kun sillä ei ollut juurta, niin se kuivettui.
7 As the farmer sowed, other [seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny plants. [The] seeds [grew, but] the thorny plants also grew up and crowded out [the] good [plants. So the plants] produced no grain.
Ja osa putosi orjantappuroihin; ja orjantappurat nousivat ja tukahuttivat sen, eikä se tehnyt hedelmää.
8 But as the farmer sowed, other [seeds] fell on good soil. As a result, they sprouted, they grew well, and then they produced [plenty of] grain. [Some] plants bore 30 [grains]. [Some] bore 60 [grains]. [Some] bore 100 [grains].”
Ja osa putosi hyvään maahan; ja se nousi oraalle, kasvoi ja antoi sadon ja kantoi kolmeenkymmeneen ja kuuteenkymmeneen ja sataan jyvään asti."
9 Then Jesus said, “If you want to understand this [MTY], you should consider [carefully what I have just said].”
Ja hän sanoi: "Jolla on korvat kuulla, se kuulkoon".
10 [Later], when only the twelve [disciples] and a few [other] people were with him, they asked him about the parables.
Ja kun hän oli jäänyt yksin, niin ne, jotka olivat hänen ympärillään, ynnä ne kaksitoista kysyivät häneltä näitä vertauksia.
11 He said to them, “People have not understood before [the new message] about how God wants to rule people’s lives. It is to you that this is being made known {that I am making this known}. But I tell about this [only] (in parables/figuratively) to those who have not [yet invited God to rule their lives].
Niin hän sanoi heille: "Teille on annettu Jumalan valtakunnan salaisuus, mutta noille ulkopuolella oleville kaikki tulee vertauksissa,
12 As a result [it is true what a prophet has written], Although they see [what I do], they do not perceive [what it means] [DOU]. Although they hear [what I say], they do not understand [what it means] [DOU]. So they do not (repent/turn away from their sinful behavior) in order that they would be forgiven {[God] would forgive them}.”
että he näkemällä näkisivät, eivätkä huomaisi, ja kuulemalla kuulisivat, eivätkä ymmärtäisi, niin etteivät kääntyisi ja saisi anteeksi".
13 He also said to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand this illustration!/Can you not understand this illustration?) [RHQ] [If you do not understand] this, (you will certainly not understand any of the [other] illustrations!/how will you understand any of the [other] illustrations?) [RHQ] [Nevertheless, I will explain it to you].
Ja hän sanoi heille: "Ette käsitä tätä vertausta; kuinka sitten voitte ymmärtää kaikki muut vertaukset?
14 [In the illustration that I told you], the man who sows [seeds represents someone who] declares God’s message [DOU].
Kylväjä kylvää sanan.
15 [Some people are like] the path on which [some of] the seeds fell. When they hear [the message], Satan comes at once and causes them to forget what they have heard.
Mitkä tien oheen putosivat, ovat ne, joihin sana kylvetään, mutta kun he sen kuulevat, niin saatana heti tulee ja ottaa pois heihin kylvetyn sanan.
16 [Some people are like the ground where the soil was not very deep over] rock. When they hear [God’s] message, they immediately accept it with joy.
Ja mitkä kallioperälle kylvettiin, ovat niinikään ne, jotka, kun kuulevat sanan, heti ottavat sen ilolla vastaan,
17 But, because [the message does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their hearts/inner beings, they] believe it for [only a short time. They are like the plants that] did not have deep roots. When others treat such people badly or cause them to suffer because [they believe], those people [who are suffering] soon stop believing God’s message.
mutta heillä ei ole juurta itsessään, vaan he kestävät ainoastaan jonkun aikaa; kun sitten tulee ahdistus tai vaino sanan tähden, niin he kohta lankeavat pois.
18 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny weeds in it. [Although] those people hear [God’s] message,
Ja toisia ovat orjantappuroihin kylvetyt; nämä ovat ne, jotka kuulevat sanan,
19 they desire to be rich, and they desire to own many other things. So they worry [only] about material things. The result is that they forget [God’s] message and they do not do [the things that God wants them to do]. (aiōn g165)
mutta maailman huolet ja rikkauden viettelys ja muut himot pääsevät valtaan ja tukahuttavat sanan, ja se jää hedelmättömäksi. (aiōn g165)
20 [But some people] are like the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and they accept it [and they believe] it. [Then they do the things that God wants them to do. They are like the good plants that produced] 30, 60 or 100 [grains].”
Ja mitkä hyvään maahan kylvettiin, ovat ne, jotka kuulevat sanan ja ottavat sen vastaan ja kantavat hedelmän, mikä kolmikymmen-, mikä kuusikymmen-, mikä satakertaisen."
21 He also told them [another parable], saying, “(People certainly do not [light] an oil lamp and then bring it [in the house] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} under a container or under a bed./Would anyone [light] an oil lamp and then bring it [in the house] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} under a container or under a bed?) [RHQ] (No, [they light it] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} in a place [where it lights the house].[/Wouldn’t they light it] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} in a place [where it lights the house]?) [RHQ]
Ja hän sanoi heille: "Eihän lamppua oteta esiin, pantavaksi vakan alle tai vuoteen alle? Eiköhän lampunjalkaan pantavaksi?
22 [Similarly], there are some [parts of God’s message] that people do not know. [But he intends that] people will understand all the things that they do not know [now].
Sillä ei mikään ole salattuna muuta varten, kuin että se tulisi ilmi, eikä kätkettynä muuta varten, kuin tullakseen julki.
23 If you want to understand this, you should consider [carefully] what you [have just heard].”
Jos jollakin on korvat kuulla, hän kuulkoon."
24 Then he said to them, “Consider carefully what you hear [me say to you], for [God] will let you [understand] to the same degree that you [consider what I say]. [He] will let you [understand] even more than that.
Ja hän sanoi heille: "Ottakaa vaari siitä, mitä kuulette; millä mitalla te mittaatte, sillä teille mitataan, vieläpä teille lisätäänkin.
25 Those who [consider what I say] and understand it, [God] will enable them to understand more. But those who do not [consider carefully what I say], they will forget even what they already know.”
Sillä sille jolla on, sille annetaan; mutta siltä, jolla ei ole, otetaan pois sekin, mikä hänellä on."
26 Jesus also said, “God [has the power to change] people who let him rule their lives. I [will illustrate how that can happen] [MET]. A man planted seeds in the ground.
Ja hän sanoi: "Niin on Jumalan valtakunta, kuin jos mies kylvää siemenen maahan;
27 Afterwards he slept each night and rose each day [without worrying about the seeds]. [During that time] the seeds sprouted and grew in a way that he did not understand, because by itself the soil [caused the plants to grow and produce grain].
ja hän nukkuu, ja hän nousee, öin ja päivin; ja siemen orastaa ja kasvaa, hän ei itse tiedä, miten.
28 First the stalks [appeared]. Then the heads [appeared]. Then the full kernels in the heads [appeared].
Sillä itsestään maa tuottaa viljan: ensin korren, sitten tähkän, sitten täyden jyvän tähkään.
29 As soon as the grain was ripe he sent [people] [MTY] to harvest it because it was time to harvest [the grain].”
Mutta kun hedelmä on kypsynyt, lähettää hän kohta sinne sirpin, sillä elonaika on käsissä."
30 [Jesus told them] another [parable. He] said, “I will tell you [RHQ] how the [number of people] whose lives God rules in a new way [will continue to grow] (OR, each continue to have more and more influence in this world). I hope [RHQ] that this illustration will show this [to you].
Ja hän sanoi: "Mihin vertaamme Jumalan valtakunnan, eli mitä vertausta siitä käytämme?
31 [You know what happens to] mustard seeds when we plant them. Though mustard seeds are among the smallest of seeds, [here in Israel] they become large plants.
Se on niinkuin sinapinsiemen, joka, kun se kylvetään maahan, on pienin kaikista siemenistä maan päällä;
32 After they are planted, they grow up and become larger than the other garden plants. They put out big branches so that birds are able to make nests in their shade.”
mutta kun se on kylvetty, niin se nousee ja tulee suurimmaksi kaikista vihanneskasveista ja tekee suuria oksia, niin että taivaan linnut voivat tehdä pesänsä sen varjoon."
33 Jesus used many such illustrations when he talked to the people about God. If they were able to understand [some, he kept telling them more].
Monilla tämänkaltaisilla vertauksilla hän puhui heille sanaa, sen mukaan kuin he kykenivät kuulemaan;
34 He always used parables when he spoke to them. But he explained all [the illustrations] to his own disciples when he was alone with them.
ja ilman vertausta hän ei puhunut heille. Mutta opetuslapsillensa hän selitti kaikki, kun he olivat yksikseen.
35 On that same day, when the sun was setting, Jesus said to [his disciples], “Let’s cross over to the opposite side of [Lake Galilee in the boat].”
Ja sinä päivänä hän illan tultua sanoi heille: "Lähtekäämme yli toiselle rannalle".
36 So they left the crowd, [got in] the boat where Jesus [already] was, and left. [Other people] went with them in other boats.
Niin he laskivat kansan luotaan ja ottivat hänet mukaansa, niinkuin hän venheessä oli; ja muitakin venheitä oli hänen seurassaan.
37 A strong wind came up and the waves started coming into the boat! The boat was soon nearly full [of water]!
Ja nousi kova myrskytuuli, ja aallot syöksyivät venheeseen, niin että venhe jo täyttyi.
38 Jesus was in the back part of the boat. He was sleeping, [with his head] on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher! (You ought to be concerned that we are about to die!/Are you not concerned that we are about to die?) [RHQ]”
Ja itse hän oli peräkeulassa ja nukkui nojaten päänaluseen. Ja he herättivät hänet ja sanoivat hänelle: "Opettaja, etkö välitä siitä, että me hukumme?"
39 So Jesus got up and rebuked the wind. Then he said to the lake, “Be quiet! Be still! [DOU]” The wind [immediately] blowing and then [the lake] became very calm.
Ja herättyään hän nuhteli tuulta ja sanoi järvelle: "Vaikene, ole hiljaa". Niin tuuli asettui, ja tuli aivan tyven.
40 He said to the disciples, “([I am disappointed that] you are afraid [like that]!/Why are you afraid [like that]?) [RHQ] Do you not yet believe [that I can protect you]?”
Ja hän sanoi heille: "Miksi olette niin pelkureita? Kuinka teillä ei ole uskoa?"
41 They were very awestruck. They said to one another, “[Not only do the demons obey this man, but] even the wind and the waves obey him! “(What kind of man is he?/This man is [not like ordinary] people!) [RHQ]”
Ja suuri pelko valtasi heidät, ja he sanoivat toisillensa: "Kuka onkaan tämä, kun sekä tuuli että meri häntä tottelevat?"
