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.
Li te kòmanse enstwi yo ankò bò kote lanmè a. Yon gwo foul te ransanble kote Li jiskaske Li te vin antre nan yon kannòt sou lanmè a e Li te chita. Tout foul la te kanpe atè bò lanmè a.
2 Then He proceeded to teach them many lessons in figurative language; and in His teaching He said,
Konsa, Li te enstwi yo anpil bagay an parabòl. Li t ap di yo nan ansèyman li;
3 "Listen: the sower goes out to sow.
“Koute! Yon moun ki t ap simen te ale deyò pou simen grenn.
4 As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up.
Pandan li t ap simen, kèk grenn te tonbe akote wout la pou zwazo yo vin manje l nèt.
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;
“Lòt grenn te tonbe nan wòch kote pa t gen anpil tè. Byen vit, li te leve, paske tè a pa t gen pwofondè.
6 but when the sun is risen, it is scorched, and through having no root it withers away.
Konsa, lè solèy la fin leve, li te vin brile, e akoz li pa t gen rasin, li te fennen.
7 Some, again, falls among the thorns; and the thorns spring up and stifle it, so that it yields no crop.
“Lòt grenn tonbe pami pikan yo. Pikan yo leve toufe li, e li pa t bay donn.
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."
“Lòt grenn te tonbe nan bon tè e pandan yo t ap grandi, ogmante, yo vin bay yon rekòlt ki te pwodwi trant, swasant, e menm san fwa.”
9 "Listen," He added, "every one who has ears to listen with!"
Konsa li te di: “Sila ki gen zòrèy pou tande, kite l tande”.
10 When He was alone, the Twelve and the others who were about Him requested Him to explain His figurative language.
Pandan Li te apa pou kont Li, sila ki t ap swiv Li yo ansanm avèk douz yo t ap poze L kesyon sou parabòl yo.
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;
Li te di yo: “A nou menm te gen tan bay mistè a wayòm Bondye a; men sila ki rete deyò yo, ap resevwa tout bagay an parabòl.
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.'"
Pou l rive ke Malgre yo wè, yo kapab wè san apèsi; e pandan y ap tande, yo kapab tande e pa konprann. Otreman, yo ta kab retounen pou twouve padon.”
13 "Do you all miss the meaning of this parable?" He added; "how then will you understand the rest of my parables?"
Li te di yo: “Èske nou pa konprann parabòl sila a? Alò kijan nou va konprann tout parabòl yo?
14 "What the sower sows is the Message.
“Moun k ap simen an simen pawòl la.
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.
Se sila ki akote wout yo, ke lè pawòl la fin simen, yo tande. Men byen vit, Satan vin pran pawòl ki te simen an, e rachte l soti nan yo.
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,
“E nan yon jan ki sanble ak sa, sila yo se yo menm ki te simen kote ki plen wòch yo. Lè yo fin tande pawòl la, byen vit, yo resevwa l avèk jwa.
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.
Men yo pa gen rasin fon nan yo menm. Yo la pou yon ti tan. Lè afliksyon oswa pèsekisyon vini akoz pawòl la, lapoula yo vin chite.
18 Others there are who receive the seed among the thorns: these are they who have heard the Message,
“Lòt yo se sila yo ki te te simen pami pikan yo. Se yo ki te tande pawòl yo,
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)
men tout pwoblèm mond sa a ak sediksyon richès yo, avèk lanvi pou lòt bagay toufe pawòl la, pou li pa donnen fwi. (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."
“Sila ki te te simen nan bon tè a, se yo menm ki te tande pawòl la, yo te aksepte li, e yo te vin bay fwi trant, swasant e menm san fwa.”
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?
Konsa Li t ap di yo: “Èske yon lanp pote pou mete anba yon panyen oubyen anba yon kabann? Èske yo pa pote li pou mete li sou yon chandelye?
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.
Paske anyen pa kache, sof ke pou revele, ni anyen pa an sekrè, sof ke pou parèt nan limyè.
23 Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
Si yon moun gen zòrèy pou tande, kite l tande.”
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.
E Li t ap di yo: “Fè atansyon a sa nou koute. Menm jan ke nou mezire bay, li va mezire remèt a nou menm; e menm plis, y ap bannou ki tande.
25 For those who have will have more given them; and from those who have not, even what they have will be taken away."
Paske a nenpòt moun ki genyen, l ap resevwa anplis, e a nenpòt moun ki pa genyen, menm sa li genyen an ap retire nan men li.”
26 Another saying of His was this: "The Kingdom of God is as if a man scattered seed over the ground:
E Li t ap di: “Wayòm syèl la se tankou yon mesye k ap voye semans sou latè.
27 he spends days and nights, now awake, now asleep, while the seed sprouts and grows tall, he knows not how.
Konsa, l ale sou kabann li nan aswè, li leve lajounen, e semans lan pouse e grandi; kijan sa fè fèt, li menm pa konnen.
28 Of itself the land produces the crop-- first the blade, then the ear; afterwards the perfect grain is seen in the ear.
Tè a pwodwi rekòlt pou kont li; premyèman flèch, answit tèt la, e apre sa, grenn mi yo nan tèt la.
29 But no sooner is the crop ripe, than he sends the reapers, because the time of harvest has come."
Men depi rekòlt la vin prè, byen vit l ap bay li kouto, paske lè rekòlt la rive.”
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?
Li te di: “Kijan n ap imajine wayòm Bondye a, oubyen selon ki parabòl nou kapab reprezante li?
31 It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the earth, is the smallest of all the seeds in the world;
Li tankou yon grenn moutad ke lè l simen nan tè, li pi piti pase tout grenn ki sou latè.
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."
Malgre sa, lè l fin simen, li grandi e vin pi gwo pase tout lòt plant nan jaden yo, epi fè gwo branch, pou zwazo anlè yo kab vin fè nich anba lonbraj li.”
33 With many such parables He used to speak the Message to them according to their capacity for receiving it.
Ak anpil parabòl konsa, Li te pale pawòl la avèk yo nan limit yo ta kapab tande l pou konprann.
34 But except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them; while to His own disciples He expounded everything, in private.
Li pa t pale avèk yo san parabòl; men Li t ap eksplike tout bagay an prive a disip Li yo.
35 The same day, in the evening, He said to them, "Let us cross to the other side."
Nan jou sa a, lè lannwit vin rive, Li te di yo: “Annou pase pa lòtbò”.
36 So they got away from the crowd, and took Him--as He was--in the boat; and other boats accompanied Him.
Yo te kite foul la e te pran Li avèk yo jan Li te ye nan kannòt la. Anplis, te gen lòt kannòt ki te avèk Li.
37 But a heavy squall came on, and the waves were now dashing into the boat, so that it was fast filling.
Konsa, te vin leve yon gwo van tanpèt, ak vag lanmè ki t ap kase sou kannòt la otan ke kannòt la te prèske fin plen nèt.
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?"
Jésus Li menm te nan pwent dèyè kote L t ap dòmi sou yon kousen. Yo te fè L leve e te di Li: “Mèt, èske sa pa fè Ou anyen ke n ap mouri?”
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.
Li te leve, e konsa, Li te reprimande van an e te di a lanmè a: “Fè silans, rete kalm!” Epi van an te vin bese e tan an te vini byen kalm.
40 "Why are you so timid?" He asked; "have you still no faith?"
Li te di yo: “Poukisa nou pè konsa? Jiska prezan, nou poko gen lafwa?”
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."
Yo te etone avèk laperèz e yo te di: “Ki moun sa ye ke menm van avèk dlo lanmè obeyi Li?”
