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.
At siya'y muling nagpasimulang magturo sa tabi ng dagat. At nagpipisan sa kaniya ang lubhang maraming tao, ano pa't siya'y lumulan sa isang daong, at siya'y naupo sa dagat; at ang buong karamihan ay nasa lupa sa tabi ng dagat.
2 Then he taught them many parables. While he was teaching them, he told them [this]:
At sila'y tinuruan niya ng maraming bagay sa mga talinghaga, at sinabi sa kanila sa kaniyang pagtuturo,
3 “Consider [well the meaning of this illustration]: A man/farmer went out [to his field] to sow [some seeds].
Pakinggan ninyo: Narito, ang manghahasik ay yumaon upang maghasik:
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.
At nangyari, sa kaniyang paghahasik, na ang ilang binhi ay nangahulog sa tabi ng daan, at nagsidating ang mga ibon at kinain ito.
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.
At ang mga iba'y nangahulog sa batuhan, na doo'y walang maraming lupa; at pagdaka'y sumibol, sapagka't hindi malalim ang lupa:
6 But after the sun shone [on those young plants], they became scorched. Then they withered because they did not have [deep] roots.
At nang sumikat ang araw, ay nangainitan; at dahil sa walang ugat, ay nangatuyo.
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.
At ang mga iba'y nangahulog sa dawagan, at nagsilaki ang mga dawag, at ininis ang mga pananim, at ito'y hindi nangamunga.
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].”
At ang mga iba'y nangahulog sa mabuting lupa, at nangamunga, na nagsitaas at nagsilago; at may namunga ng tigtatatlongpu, at tiganim na pu, at tigisang daan.
9 Then Jesus said, “If you want to understand this [MTY], you should consider [carefully what I have just said].”
At sinabi niya, Ang may mga pakinig na ipakikinig, ay makinig.
10 [Later], when only the twelve [disciples] and a few [other] people were with him, they asked him about the parables.
At nang siya'y magisa na, ang nangasa palibot niya na kasama ang labingdalawa ay nangagtanong sa kaniya tungkol sa mga talinghaga.
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].
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Sa inyo ay ipinagkaloob ang makaalam ng hiwaga ng kaharian ng Dios: datapuwa't sa kanilang nangasa labas, ang lahat ng mga bagay ay ginagawa sa pamamagitan ng mga talinghaga:
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}.”
Upang kung magsitingin sila'y mangakakita, at huwag mamalas; at kung mangakinig sila'y mangakarinig, at huwag mangakaunawa; baka sakaling sila'y mangagbalikloob, at patawarin sila.
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].
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Hindi baga ninyo nalalaman ang talinghagang ito? at paanong malalaman ninyo ang lahat ng mga talinghaga?
14 [In the illustration that I told you], the man who sows [seeds represents someone who] declares God’s message [DOU].
Ang manghahasik ay naghahasik ng salita.
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.
At ang mga ito'y yaong nangasa tabi ng daan, na doon nahahasik ang salita; at nang kanilang mapakinggan, pagdaka'y pinaroroonan ni Satanas, at inaalis ang salita na inihasik sa kanila.
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.
At gayon din naman itong mga nahasik sa batuhan, na, pagkarinig nila ng salita, pagdaka'y nagsisitanggap na may galak;
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.
At hindi nangaguugat sa kanilang sarili, kundi sangdaling tumatagal; kaya't pagkakaroon ng kapighatian o ng mga paguusig dahil sa salita, pagdaka'y nangatisod sila.
18 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny weeds in it. [Although] those people hear [God’s] message,
At ang mga iba'y yaong nangahasik sa dawagan; ang mga ito'y yaong nangakinig ng salita,
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)
At ang mga pagsusumakit na ukol sa sanglibutan, at ang daya ng mga kayamanan, at ang mga pita sa ibang mga bagay na nagsisipasok, ang nagsisiinis sa salita, at ito'y nagiging walang bunga. (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].”
At yaon ang nangahasik sa mabuting lupa; na nangakikinig ng salita, at tinatanggap ito, at namumunga ng tigtatatlongpu, at tigaanim na pu, at tigiisang daan.
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]
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Dinadala baga ang ilaw upang ilagay sa ilalim ng takalan, o sa ilalim ng higaan, at hindi baga upang ilagay sa talagang lalagayan ng ilaw?
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].
Sapagka't walang anomang bagay na natatago, kundi upang mahayag; ni nalilihim, kundi yao'y upang mapasa liwanag.
23 If you want to understand this, you should consider [carefully] what you [have just heard].”
Kung ang sinoman ay may mga pakinig na ipakikinig, ay makinig.
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.
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Ingatan ninyo kung ano ang inyong pinakikinggan: sa panukat na inyong isinusukat ay kayo'y susukatin; at higit pa ang sa inyo'y ibibigay.
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.”
Sapagka't ang mayroon, ay bibigyan pa; at ang wala, pati ng nasa kaniya ay aalisin pa sa kaniya.
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.
At sinabi niya, Ganyan ang kaharian ng Dios, na gaya ng isang taong naghahasik ng binhi sa lupa;
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].
At natutulog at nagbabangon sa gabi at araw, at sumisibol at lumalaki ang binhi na di niya nalalaman kung paano.
28 First the stalks [appeared]. Then the heads [appeared]. Then the full kernels in the heads [appeared].
Sa kaniyang sarili ay nagbubunga ang lupa; una-una'y usbong, saka uhay, pagkatapos ay butil na humihitik sa uhay.
29 As soon as the grain was ripe he sent [people] [MTY] to harvest it because it was time to harvest [the grain].”
Datapuwa't pagka hinog na ang bunga, ay ginagamit agad ang panggapas, sapagka't dumating na ang pagaani.
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].
At kaniyang sinabi, Sa ano natin itutulad ang kaharian ng Dios? o sa anong talinghaga isasaysay natin ito?
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.
Ito'y tulad sa butil ng binhi ng mostasa, na pagkahasik sa lupa, bagama't siyang lalong pinakamaliit sa lahat ng mga binhi na nangasa lupa,
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.”
Gayon ma'y pagkatanim, ay tumataas, at lumalaki ng higit kay sa lahat ng mga gulay, at nagsasanga ng malalabay; ano pa't ang mga ibon sa langit ay mangakasisilong sa kaniyang lilim.
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].
At sa pamamagitan ng gayong maraming talinghaga ay sinasaysay niya sa kanila ang salita, ayon sa makakaya ng kanilang pakinig;
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.
At hindi sila kinakausap kundi sa talinghaga: datapuwa't sa kaniyang sariling mga alagad ay bukod na ipinaliliwanag ang lahat ng mga bagay.
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].”
At nang araw ding yaon, nang gabi na, ay sinabi niya sa kanila, Tumawid tayo sa kabilang ibayo.
36 So they left the crowd, [got in] the boat where Jesus [already] was, and left. [Other people] went with them in other boats.
At pagkaiwan sa karamihan, ay kanilang dinala siya sa daong, ayon sa kaniyang kalagayan. At mayroon siyang kasamang ibang mga daong.
37 A strong wind came up and the waves started coming into the boat! The boat was soon nearly full [of water]!
At nagbangon ang isang malakas na bagyo, at sinasalpukan ang daong ng mga alon, na ano pa't ang daong ay halos natitigib.
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]”
At siya'y natutulog sa hulihan sa ibabaw ng kutson; at siya'y ginising nila, at sinabi sa kaniya, Guro, wala bagang anoman sa iyo na mapahamak tayo?
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.
At gumising siya, at sinaway ang hangin, at sinabi sa dagat, Pumayapa, tumahimik ka. At humimpil ang hangin, at humusay na totoo ang panahon,
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]?”
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Bakit kayo nangatakot? wala pa baga kayong pananampalataya?
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]”
At sila'y nangatakot na lubha, at sila-sila'y nangagsasabihan, Sino nga ito, na pati ng hangin at ng dagat ay tumatalima sa kaniya?
