< Mark 4 >
1 Again he began to teach beside the sea, and a large crowd gathered around him. He stepped into a boat that was on the sea, and he sat down in it. The whole crowd was on the shore beside the sea.
Junmul chik ri Jesús xuchapleꞌj uyaꞌik kꞌutuꞌn chuchiꞌ ri plo. Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xkimulij kibꞌ chutayik ri kꞌutuꞌn rumal riꞌ xaqꞌan ri Jesús pa jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ. Konojel ri winaq xekꞌojiꞌ chuchiꞌ ri plo.
2 He taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching, this is what he said to them.
Xuchapleꞌj ukꞌutik sibꞌalaj kꞌi jastaq rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj jewaꞌ xubꞌij:
3 “Listen, the farmer went out to sow his seed.
¡Chitampeꞌ! Jun ajtikolobꞌ xeꞌ pa tikoꞌnijik.
4 As he sowed, some seed fell on the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
Are xuchikoj ri ijaꞌ, nikꞌaj xqaj chuchiꞌ ri bꞌe, xoꞌpan ri chochiꞌ xkitijo.
5 Other seed fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. Immediately it sprang up, because it did not have deep soil.
Nikꞌaj ijaꞌ chik xqaj chuxoꞌl ri abꞌaj, jawjeꞌ man nim taj ulew kꞌolik. Aninaq xkꞌiy loq ri tikoꞌn rumal man naj taj qajinaq ri ulew.
6 But when the sun rose, the plants were scorched, and because they had no root, they dried up.
Are xel loq ri qꞌij, xechaqiꞌjar ri tikoꞌn rumal man naj taj qajinaq ri ukꞌaꞌmal pa ri ulew.
7 Other seed fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked it, and it did not produce a crop.
Nikꞌaj ijaꞌ chik xqaj chuxoꞌl ri kꞌix, are xekꞌiy loq xejiqꞌ chuxoꞌl ri kꞌix, man xewachin taj.
8 Other seed fell into good soil and it produced a crop growing up and increasing thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times.”
Ri nikꞌaj ijaꞌ chik xeqaj pa ri utz ulew. Are xkꞌiy loq, xenimaꞌqirik, xewachinik e jujun xkiya juwinaq lajuj, e nikꞌaj oxkꞌal e nikꞌaj chik jun ciento.
9 Then he said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús: Ri kꞌo uxikin chutatabꞌexik, chutatabꞌej.
10 When Jesus was alone, those who were close to him and with the twelve asked him about the parables.
Are xebꞌe konojel ri winaq, xeqet ri kabꞌlajuj utijoxelabꞌ rukꞌ ri Jesús, xkita che jas ubꞌanik ri kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj.
11 He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to those outside everything is in parables,
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Yaꞌtal chiꞌwe ix kiwetaꞌmaj ri ajawarem rech ri Dios; are kꞌu ri man e qachiꞌl taj rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj kinbꞌij chike.
12 so that when they look, yes they look, but do not see, and so that when they hear, yes they hear, but do not understand, or else they would turn and God would forgive them.”
Jeriꞌ rumal cher pune kekaꞌyik man kakichꞌobꞌ taj ri kakilo, pune kakito man kakichꞌobꞌ taj ri kakitatabꞌej. Rech man kakikꞌex taj kikꞌuꞌx xuqujeꞌ man kekuyutaj taj.
13 Then he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the other parables?
¿Man kichomaj taj we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ? Man kixkwin ta bꞌa ri kichomaj ronojel ri nikꞌaj chik.
14 The farmer who sows his seed is the one who sows the word.
Ri ajtikolobꞌ kutik ri utzij ri Dios.
15 These are the ones that fall beside the road, where the word was sown, but when they hear it, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
E kꞌo winaq kejunumataj rukꞌ ri ulew ri kꞌo chuchiꞌ ri bꞌe. Are katatabꞌetaj ri tzij kumal kape ri itzel karesaj pa kanimaꞌ.
16 These are the ones that are sown on rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy.
E jujun chik kejunumataj rukꞌ ri abꞌaj ulew. Sibꞌalaj kekiꞌkotik are kakitatabꞌej ri tzij.
17 They have no root in themselves, but endure for a short time. Then tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, and immediately they stumble.
Man katikiꞌ ta kꞌu ri tzij pa kanimaꞌ, man naj taj kuqꞌiꞌo. Are kape kꞌaxkꞌolal, o kabꞌan kꞌax chike xa rumal ri utz laj tzij, kakijelechꞌuj kanoq kibꞌe.
18 The others are the ones that were sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
E nikꞌaj chik kejunumataj rukꞌ ri kꞌix ulew: kakitatabꞌej ri tzij.
19 but the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires of other things enter in and choke the word, and it does not produce a crop. (aiōn )
Are kꞌu ri kirajawaxik rech we kꞌaslemal rech uwachulew, ri subꞌunik, xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌinomal, itzel taq rayinik, kakijiqꞌisaj ri utz laj tzij, man kawachin taj. (aiōn )
20 Then those that were sown in the good soil are the ones who hear the word and receive it, and they produce crops—thirty, sixty, or a hundred times what was sown.”
Nikꞌaj chik kejunumataj rukꞌ ri utz ulew. Kakitatabꞌej ri tzij, kakikꞌamawaꞌj pa kanimaꞌ, kewachinik kakiya juwinaq lajuj, kakiya oxkꞌal, kakiya jun ciento kiwach.
21 Jesus said to them, “Do you bring a lamp inside the house to put it under a basket, or under the bed? You bring it in and you put it on a lampstand.
Xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ ri Jesús chike: ¿La katzij jun lámpara kꞌa te riꞌ kaya chuxeꞌ jun chꞌat o chuxeꞌ jun cajon? ¿La man xa kaya pa jun kꞌolibꞌal chikaj rech katunanik?
22 For nothing is hidden that will not be known, and nothing is secret that will not come out into the open.
Maj jun jastaq awatalik ri mat kariqitaj na, xuqujeꞌ maj jun jastaq ri xaq pa awal bꞌiꞌtalik ri mat ketaꞌmataj na.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Ri kꞌo uxikin chutatabꞌexik, chutatabꞌej.
24 He said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear, for the measure you use will be measured to you, and more will be added to you.
Ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ xubꞌij: Chichajij iwibꞌ che ri kito. Rukꞌ ri pajbꞌal ri kixpajanik, rukꞌ riꞌ kapaj na ri jastaq iwe, kayaꞌtaj ne na uwiꞌ.
25 Because whoever has, to him will be given more, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken.”
Ri kꞌo rukꞌ kayaꞌtaj nim che, are kꞌu ri maj kꞌo rukꞌ kamaj na che ri nitzꞌ ri kꞌo rukꞌ.
26 He also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who sows his seed on the ground.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Ri ajawarem rech ri Dios kajunumataj rukꞌ ri ajtikolobꞌ ri kuchikoj ri ijaꞌ pa ri ulew.
27 He sleeps at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
Ri ajtikolobꞌ pune kawarik o man kawar taj, ri ijaꞌ chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ tajin kakꞌiyik. Pune jeriꞌ man retaꞌm ta kꞌut jas kubꞌan ri ijaꞌ che ukꞌiyem.
28 The earth bears grain by itself: First the blade, then the ear, then the mature grain in the ear.
Ri ijaꞌ kawachinik pa utukel: nabꞌe katuxar loq, kꞌa te riꞌ kakꞌiy loq ri ujolom, kꞌisbꞌal rech kakꞌiy loq ri uwach.
29 When the crop is ripe, he immediately sends in the sickle because the harvest has come.”
Are kutzir ri tikoꞌn, kaqꞌatik, rumal cher xopan ri qꞌij rech yakoj.
30 Again he said, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to explain it?
Xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ ri Jesús: ¿Jas rukꞌ kaqajunamaj wi ri ajawarem rech ri Dios? ¿Jas kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj kaqakoj chutzijoxik rij?
31 It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth.
Kajunumataj rukꞌ jun uwach moxtansia. Nitzꞌ chikiwach konojel ri ijaꞌ are katikik.
32 Yet, when it is sown, it grows and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and it forms large branches, so that the birds of heaven can make their nests in its shade.”
Are kakꞌiy loq sibꞌalaj nim keꞌek, kux jun nimalaj cheꞌ chikiwach ri nikꞌaj e tikoꞌn chik. Nimaꞌq kebꞌe ri uqꞌabꞌ, chilaꞌ kakibꞌan wi kisok ri aꞌwaj ri kerapinik.
33 With many parables like this he spoke the word to them, as much as they were able to understand,
Rukꞌ jaljoj kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj xuya uchꞌobꞌik ri Jesús ri kꞌutuꞌn chike ri winaq. Jas na kꞌu ri xkwin ri kichomabꞌal chuchꞌobꞌik.
34 and he did not speak to them without a parable. But when he was alone, he explained everything to his own disciples.
Rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj xubꞌij chike ri winaq ronojel ri jastaq. Are xaq xwi ri utijoxelabꞌ e kꞌo rukꞌ, xubꞌij chike jas jeꞌ kel kubꞌij ri kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj.
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go over to the other side.”
Chaqꞌabꞌ che ri qꞌij riꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: Chujqꞌax chꞌaqaꞌp.
36 So they left the crowd, taking Jesus with them, just as he was, in the boat. There were other boats going along with him.
Ri tijoxelabꞌ xeꞌl bꞌik kukꞌ ri winaq, xebꞌek rukꞌ ri Jesús pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ, e kꞌo chi nikꞌaj winaq xaqꞌan bꞌik pa nikꞌaj taq jukubꞌ chik, xebꞌe kukꞌ.
37 Just then a violent windstorm arose and the waves were breaking into the boat so that the boat was almost full of water.
Are e kꞌo chi puꞌwiꞌ ri plo, xwaꞌjil aqꞌanoq jun nimalaj kyaqiqꞌal jabꞌ, ri jaꞌ xuchapleꞌj okem pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal karaj kasach kanoq chuxeꞌ ri plo.
38 But Jesus himself was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him up, saying, “Teacher, do you not care that we are about to die?”
Ri Jesús tajin kawarik pa ri kꞌisbꞌal tꞌuyulibꞌal ri kꞌo pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal, ri e tijoxelabꞌ aninaq xkikꞌasuj xkibꞌij che: ¡Ajtij! ¿la man kil la chi raj kujkamik?
39 He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Xwaꞌjilik ri Jesús, xuyaj ri kyaqiqꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che ri plo: Chatuxlanoq. Ri plo xjoriꞌk xuta chꞌabꞌexik.
40 Then he said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still not have faith?”
Ri Jesús xuta chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: ¿Jas che sibꞌalaj kixiꞌj iwibꞌ? ¿Maj ikojobꞌal?
41 They were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, because even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Ri tijoxelabꞌ sibꞌalaj xkixiꞌj kibꞌ kakibꞌij chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿Jachin we achi riꞌ, ri plo rachiꞌl ri kyaqiqꞌ keniman che?
