Mark 4
1 Once more He began to teach by the side of the Lake, and a vast multitude of people came together to listen to Him. He therefore went on board the boat and sat there, a little way from the land; and all the people were on the shore close to the water.
Jesu go tiedi obangima ku niligu boncianla go den taani okani o den kua ki kali ku ñinbiagu nni, mi ñma nni. ku niligu kuli den ka li gbanli po.
2 Then He proceeded to teach them many lessons in figurative language; and in His teaching He said,
Oden bangiba bonla boncianla leni mi kpanjama, oden yedi ba obangima nni.
3 "Listen: the sower goes out to sow.
Cengi mani: o kpa kpaalo, den ñani ki baa coagi obon buoli,
4 As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up.
wan den coagi yaa yogunu ibon bi tiami den baa usankunu, ti bon yugiditi den cua ki dini yi.
5 Some falls on the rocky ground where it finds but little earth, and it shoots up quickly because it has no depth of soil;
Ine mo den baa ki tancagi tinga po iden pani tonma kelima mi tama ki den yaba li kani.
6 but when the sun is risen, it is scorched, and through having no root it withers away.
Ama uyienu n den pudi yaa yogunu, iden mali ki kuodi, kelima yii den pia jiinm moani.
7 Some, again, falls among the thorns; and the thorns spring up and stifle it, so that it yields no crop.
Ine mo den baa ti konkondi nni, ti konkondi den taani ki fii leni yi, ki dini yi, ki teni ke yii loni liba kuli.
8 But some of the seed falls into good ground, and gives a return: it comes up and increases, and yields thirty, sixty, or a hundred-fold."
Ine mo den baa ki tin hanga nni, iden pani ki kpedi ki loni bon yenbu pii taa, bon yenbu piiluoba bon yenbu kobiga kobiga.
9 "Listen," He added, "every one who has ears to listen with!"
oden yedi ba yua npia atuba ki ba bgadi wan bgadi.
10 When He was alone, the Twelve and the others who were about Him requested Him to explain His figurative language.
Wan den piadi ku niligu kani ohoakaaba leni yaaba nye leni o, den buali o mi kpanjama yeni bundima,
11 "To you," He replied, "has been entrusted the secret truth concerning the Kingdom of God; but to those others outside your number all this is spoken in figurative language;
oden yedi, bi puni yinba, yin bandi tanpoli diema hasiili, ama yaaba n sieni wani bi puaba mi kpanjama,
12 that "'They may look and look but not see, and listen and listen but not understand, lest perchance they should return and be pardoned.'"
ke bi yaa nua leni bi nuni ban da le li ba bi ya gba leni bi tuba ban da ga li ba ke ban ti daani ki baa bi tuonbiadi sugili.
13 "Do you all miss the meaning of this parable?" He added; "how then will you understand the rest of my parables?"
O goden yedi ba. Yii fidiki bandi yaa kpanjama n tiena bundima? yi baa tieni lede yo ki bandi yaa kpanjama n sieni kuli bundima,
14 "What the sower sows is the Message.
o kpa kpaalo coagi mi maa
15 Those who receive the seed by the way-side are those in whom the Message is sown, but, when they have heard it, Satan comes at once and carries away the Message sown in them.
. Bi tianba tie nani u sankunu yeni bi ya gba mi maa sutaani yen cua ki ñani ma bi pala nni.
16 In the same way those who receive the seed on the rocky places are those who, when they have heard the Message, at once accept it joyfully,
Bi tianba mo tie nani: ki tancagi tinga yeni, bi yaa gbadi mi maama bi yen ga ma leni li pamanli.
17 but they have no root within them. They last for a time; then, when suffering or persecution comes because of the Message, they are immediately overthrown.
Ama baa baa pia jiinmoani, baa fidi ki baa juuni, fala yaa cua bi po, bi bi ya waani ba fala kelima mi maama yeni po tontoni se ban ŋmadi ki baa.
18 Others there are who receive the seed among the thorns: these are they who have heard the Message,
Bi nitianba mo tie nani: Yi konkoni tinga yeni bi yen ga mi maama,
19 but worldly cares and the deceitfulness of wealth and the excessive pursuit of other objects come in and stifle the Message, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
Ama bi go yen cedi mi yema yanyangidi leni mi piama boandi leni ti gbannandi bon buakabiadila boandi dini ma bi pala nni ki teni ke maa fidi ki loni li ba kuli. (aiōn g165)
20 Those, on the other hand, who have received the seed on the good ground, are all who hear the Message and welcome it, and yield a return of thirty, sixty, or a hundred fold."
Bi nitianba mo tie nani: Ki tinhanga yeni bi yaa ga mi maama bi yen kubima hali ki ban luoni li bon luonkaala, bon bi yenbu kuli pitaa taa, pi luoba luoba leni kobiga kobga.
21 He went on to say, "Is the lamp brought in in order to be put under the bushel or under the bed? Is it not rather in order that it may be placed on the lampstand?
O go den yedi ba naani bi baa cuoni ki fitilisanga ki taa li sancianli ki hoagini ga? Bi ki kuani ga uduanu tiipo? Naani baa baa tuani ga ufitilisantuankaanu?
22 Why, there is nothing hidden except with a view to its being ultimately disclosed, nor has anything been made a secret but that it may at last come to light.
Kelima liba kuli ki ye ki duagi ki kan doagidi, li ba mo ki ye hasiilu nni, ki kan ña mi yenma nni.
23 Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
Yua n pia a tuba ki baa gbadi wan gbadi.
24 He also said to them, "Take care what you hear. With what measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and that with interest.
O go den yedi ba: fangi mani yi yula leni yin gba yaala, kelima bi baa biigi yi po leni yin den biigi yaa bon biigikaala, ki yeyegi yi po ki pugini.
25 For those who have will have more given them; and from those who have not, even what they have will be taken away."
Bi baa pa ki pugini yua n pia, ama yua ki pia wani bi baa gaa baa wan pia yaala.
26 Another saying of His was this: "The Kingdom of God is as if a man scattered seed over the ground:
O go den yedi, UTieunu diema tie nani: o nilo n buli obon bulikaala ki tinga nni yeni.
27 he spends days and nights, now awake, now asleep, while the seed sprouts and grows tall, he knows not how.
Wan goa leni wan nua kuli, u yensiinu leni ku ñiagu kuli, li bon bulikaala baa pa ke waa bani lan tieni maama.
28 Of itself the land produces the crop-- first the blade, then the ear; afterwards the perfect grain is seen in the ear.
Ki tinga n tuuni la, kani ki ba, ki yen cili leni ti muadi ki hoadi ti siandi leni ibonbi, li kuli mo yen cili ti siandi nne.
29 But no sooner is the crop ripe, than he sends the reapers, because the time of harvest has come."
Li bonbulikaala yaa beni ujetaagu pundi.
30 Another saying of His was this: "How are we to picture the Kingdom of God? or by what figure of speech shall we represent it?
O go den yedi, ti baa nandi UTienu diema leni be? bi ti doagidima leni be yaa nannanli?
31 It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the earth, is the smallest of all the seeds in the world;
Mi naani leni yaa kpintiigu n yi seneve bonbibu yeni, bu wa ki cie ti kpintiidi kuli,
32 yet when sown it springs up and becomes larger than all the herbs, and throws out great branches, so that the birds build under its shadow."
ama bu yaa pani bu yen kpedi ki yabidi hali maama ke ti bon yugiditi yen tiedi bi diedi bu beni po.
33 With many such parables He used to speak the Message to them according to their capacity for receiving it.
Oden bangi ba bonla boncianla leni mi kpajanma, nani: Ban baa fidi ki gaa maama.
34 But except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them; while to His own disciples He expounded everything, in private.
Waa den maadi leni ba ke tie kpanjanma, ama ogo yen waani, o hoadikaaba li kuli nbua ki yedi yaala.
35 The same day, in the evening, He said to them, "Let us cross to the other side."
Laa daali, yen juagu o den yedi ba, tin duodi mani ne po yaa boanjaali.
36 So they got away from the crowd, and took Him--as He was--in the boat; and other boats accompanied Him.
Wan den cabi ku niligu bi den kua wan den ye yaa ñinbiagu nni, ñinbiatoadi den ye leni o,
37 But a heavy squall came on, and the waves were now dashing into the boat, so that it was fast filling.
ku faciangu leni a ñinguona den fii ki kandi ku ñinbiagu ki koa. hali ke ku bua ki mia.
38 But He Himself was in the stern asleep, with His head on the cushion: so they woke Him. "Rabbi," they cried, "is it nothing to you that we are drowning?"
Ama jesu den goa, kili o yuli li yukuli. Bi den fundi o ki yedi o, laa yia ha leni tin baa bodi yeni?
39 So He roused Himself and rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, "Silence! Be still!" The wind sank, and a perfect calm set in.
o den fii ki funi leni ufaalu ki yedi mi ñincianma sedi suo, li kuli den sedi suo,
40 "Why are you so timid?" He asked; "have you still no faith?"
Lani, o den yedi ba: Be n teni ke yi jie nanda be n teni ke yi luo li dandanli?
41 Then they were filled with terror, and began to say to one another, "Who is this, then? For even wind and sea obey Him."
Ti jawaanciandi den cuoba, ke bi yedi bi yaba: O ne wani daa, o tie ŋme yo ke baa mi ñima leni ufaalu kuli tuo ki tie wan yedi yaala?
