< 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.
Mach ave, Jisasɨv yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh ampaŋ ñi ekwaŋg ya sɨkamar. Sɨkazand wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ ohɨron hamb ai ndɨn ondɨhorɨmŋgɨmar. Az Jisasɨv han we utɨŋg unchaŋ ŋkwuhi ŋkañɨz, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb yamb ampa ikwɨmun ai ñɨmŋgɨmar.
2 Then He proceeded to teach them many lessons in figurative language; and in His teaching He said,
Jisasɨv ndɨŋ ya ahɨmb akŋ han sɨkanj. Ave mach, ya ahɨmb han mbanave kamar.
3 "Listen: the sower goes out to sow.
Ndɨh wamŋgɨn amar. Wɨram emŋga hamb wit nor han aporɨŋɨn are war unchaŋ omɨr amar.
4 As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up.
We wit nor han aporɨzand, hanaveaŋg empasamɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨz apa hamb ai naŋgamɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
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;
Mach, wit nor hanaveaŋg nsɨham mpɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Isa ohɨra kamah raz pams haŋon ahamŋgɨmɨr amar.
6 but when the sun is risen, it is scorched, and through having no root it withers away.
Kɨrɨm ntɨr omanenta kazɨŋgw mah raz, rapɨr hamb aharai kɨraz mɨŋam mahɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
7 Some, again, falls among the thorns; and the thorns spring up and stifle it, so that it yields no crop.
Mach, wit nor hanaveaŋg kɨrɨpahe ŋkɨraŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Avɨz kɨrɨpahe hamb awarohe asi ŋambɨŋgwɨz mbɨ nor mɨŋgwɨndɨramŋgɨm amar.
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."
Mach, wit nor hanaveaŋg isupɨr imbɨrɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr hamb mbɨ omanenton ahamŋgɨmɨr amar. Omanenton ahe ohɨrare ñi nor omanenton ŋgwɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Hanaveaŋg 30 ŋgwɨmŋgɨmɨr, hanaveaŋg 60, hanaveaŋg 100 ŋgwɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
9 "Listen," He added, "every one who has ears to listen with!"
Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Ndɨh wamŋgɨn amar. Wɨram njɨhinsɨnd hamb mbɨ njɨhamŋgɨz amar.
10 When He was alone, the Twelve and the others who were about Him requested Him to explain His figurative language.
Mach az, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb etomŋgɨz mach raz, osa anchɨ Jisas hanave ñɨmŋganj hamb sezɨr oman ŋkiŋkiŋg undɨmajɨvamen, mbɨ Jisasɨh ya ahɨmbɨnd ondo handɨv amarɨmŋgɨmar.
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;
Amarɨmŋgɨz kamar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg ŋɨmbɨz mbɨkɨr kwɨŋ ñɨndɨramŋgi amar. Handɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya mbɨkɨr mpɨ unchaŋ ñi han, han Yakŋ Ohɨrav andɨŋ ndɨh eŋgwi amar. Osa anchɨ injambɨrɨnd hamb mbɨ nend amar. Mbɨ werɨndɨramŋgiaŋg, kɨrɨm mbɨ hanɨhan han omanenta mɨwandɨramŋgɨm amar. Ave mbɨ ya ohɨron njɨhamɨndɨramŋgiaŋg, kɨrɨm mbɨ ya ondo kehan mɨwamŋgɨrɨm amar. Mbɨ hanave re imbɨr mpɨ itɨmaimŋgɨmɨr oh a amar. Nend amar. Handɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrav mbɨndɨŋ enta kɨvah han musɨndɨram amar. Handɨv re nzɨ osa anchɨ injambɨrɨnd han ya ahɨmbŋam kajin amar.
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.'"
13 "Do you all miss the meaning of this parable?" He added; "how then will you understand the rest of my parables?"
Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Amɨ ya ahɨmbɨnd ondo mban mɨwamŋgɨrɨm toh amar. Ave amɨ ya ahɨmb akŋ emŋgemŋga han nzɨhanave wandɨramŋgɨn amar.
14 "What the sower sows is the Message.
Mach, wɨram wit nor apororɨnd hamb ndɨn wɨram Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya eŋgwandari haremamp amar.
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.
Wɨram hamb wit nor han aporɨz empasamɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨz, apa hamb ai naŋgamɨmŋgɨmɨr han, han osa anchɨ hamb ya Yakŋ Ohɨrand han njɨhamŋgɨmɨraŋg, kɨrɨm Satanɨmb pams haŋon ai ya han ŋe hɨromɨr haremamp amar.
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,
Mach, osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg, ndɨŋ wit nor isa nsɨham mpɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar. Mbɨ ya han njɨhame ŋe ŋɨñɨmbam oŋambam ñɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
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.
Avɨz wɨram emŋgemŋga hamb ihɨnd ya handɨv osa anchɨ han kɨr ohɨra eŋgwe ndɨŋ enta opɨha sɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Handɨv mbɨ yan ererɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Mbɨ wɨndɨv mɨñɨndɨramŋgɨm amar. Nend amar. Ndɨŋ wit hamb ntɨr kazɨŋgw mah ramŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar.
18 Others there are who receive the seed among the thorns: these are they who have heard the Message,
Mach, osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg, ndɨŋ wit nor kɨrɨpahe ŋkɨraŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar. Mbɨ ya han njɨhamŋgɨmɨr amar.
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)
Kɨrɨm mbɨ hanɨhan isupɨr mbanand handɨv njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr njɨhakɨramamŋgɨmɨr amar. Nsɨham nor hamb arɨŋ omanenta hɨrawɨz imbɨrun ñɨndɨrarɨŋ toh arar njɨhamŋgɨmɨr amar. Kɨrɨm nend amar. Ave mbɨ hanɨhan isupɨr mbanand handɨvam ntichɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Avɨz njɨhi endɨraparam kehamb ndɨŋ irɨwazɨz ya mbanamb mamah ŋgorɨmɨr amar. (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."
Mach, osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg, ndɨŋ wit nor isupɨr imbɨrɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar. Mbɨ ya han njɨhamŋgɨmɨr han, mbɨ witɨv omanenton ŋgwɨmŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar. Hanaveaŋg 30, hanaveaŋg 60, mach hanaveaŋg 100 ŋgwɨmŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar.
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?
Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ ekwaŋg ke kamar. Wɨram hamb irɨpɨr han hɨrai nchɨ kwɨŋ ŋgamŋgɨj oh o antɨm kwɨŋ ŋgamŋgɨj oh amar. Nend amar. Mbɨ irɨpɨr han mbɨkɨr sam ñaŋ ñɨñ haŋam ŋgamŋgɨj amar.
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.
Wɨram hamb utuhutuh han aŋkwazɨmŋgɨz han Yakŋ Ohɨrav injambɨr ahandari amar. Wɨram hamb utuhutuh han amɨnaŋgworɨmŋgɨz hanez Yakŋ Ohɨrav injambɨr ahandari amar.
23 Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
Wɨram njɨhinsɨnd hamb mbɨ njɨhamŋgɨz amar.
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.
Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ mbahon kamar. Amɨ ya mban njɨhame omanenta wavar amar. Amɨ hanɨhan wɨram eŋgwamŋgɨrɨn han, njɨmɨnj haŋ Yakŋ Ohɨrav andɨŋ mbɨŋ han haŋonaŋg eŋgwandari amar. Ave mbɨ andɨŋ hanaveaŋg mpaji mbah eŋgwandari amar.
25 For those who have will have more given them; and from those who have not, even what they have will be taken away."
Avɨz wɨram emŋga hanɨhansɨnd han ndɨn Yakŋ Ohɨrav ekwaŋg hanaveonaŋg eŋgwandari amar. Kɨrɨm wɨram hanɨhan mah han Yakŋ Ohɨrav hanɨhan nor mbɨkɨr han mɨŋam ŋɨmbɨndari amar.
26 Another saying of His was this: "The Kingdom of God is as if a man scattered seed over the ground:
Mach, Jisasɨv kamar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg ŋɨmbɨz mbɨkɨr kwɨŋ ñɨndɨramŋgi han, han wɨram hamb wit nor han isaŋ aporɨmɨr haremamp amar.
27 he spends days and nights, now awake, now asleep, while the seed sprouts and grows tall, he knows not how.
Az zuhɨnd rapɨrɨnd wɨram mbanamb ikwɨ ŋgañi ŋaiahazand wit nor mbanamb ahe we ohɨrarɨmɨr amar. Kɨrɨm wɨram mbanamb wit norɨv hanave ohɨrarɨj han, han mbɨ mɨwamɨr amar.
28 Of itself the land produces the crop-- first the blade, then the ear; afterwards the perfect grain is seen in the ear.
Isavonaŋg raz kwerɨvoz ahe mach zɨŋ ampɨhamɨr amar. Ave mbɨ ohɨrare ñi apa ame nor ŋgwɨmɨr amar.
29 But no sooner is the crop ripe, than he sends the reapers, because the time of harvest has come."
Az wit hamb mɨŋ amaz mach raz, wit erɨherɨhɨnd iŋgi hamb ahevakarɨz wɨram mbanamb kɨrɨm erɨhamɨr amar.
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?
Mach, Jisasɨv ekwaŋg ke kamar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg ŋɨmbɨz mbɨkɨr kwɨŋ ñɨndɨramŋgi han, han utɨman emamp amar. Handɨv arɨ ya ahɨmb han nzɨhanave kandɨrarɨŋ amar.
31 It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the earth, is the smallest of all the seeds in the world;
Yakŋ Ohɨrav osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg ŋɨmbɨz mbɨkɨr kwɨŋ ñɨndɨramŋgi han, han erampɨr mastetɨnd emamp amar. Erampɨr emŋgemŋgand nor han ohɨra amar. Mastetɨnd nor han nend amar. Mbɨkɨr nor han ntɨŋɨnd nor mɨŋ amar. Kɨrɨm wɨram hamb mastetɨnd nor han aporɨz ahe ohɨrare ñi erampɨr mɨŋam war unchand han eparɨj amar. Erampɨr kehan ena ohɨrohɨransɨnd amar. Avɨz apa hamb ai mpɨr mbɨkɨr haŋ mpɨ asɨmŋgɨj amar.
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."
33 With many such parables He used to speak the Message to them according to their capacity for receiving it.
Mach, Jisasɨv osa anchɨ han ya ahɨmb hanonaŋg hanonaŋg sɨkanj. Osa anchɨ hamb ya ahɨmb imbɨr njɨhamŋganj haŋam, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ mbahon sɨkanj.
34 But except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them; while to His own disciples He expounded everything, in private.
Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ ya ahɨmbŋam sɨkanj. Kɨrɨm osa anchɨ hamb etomŋgɨz, sezɨrɨvam ndɨnmen ñɨmŋgɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋɨh ya ahɨmbɨnd ondo han orapaizɨŋgaŋg sɨkanj.
35 The same day, in the evening, He said to them, "Let us cross to the other side."
Mach, nanempand zuh razand, yuŋk haŋonaŋg, Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr sezɨrɨh mbanave kamar. Aimŋgɨn yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh ŋkiŋgɨŋ evahetom amar.
36 So they got away from the crowd, and took Him--as He was--in the boat; and other boats accompanied Him.
Avɨz sezɨrɨv wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han erere utɨŋg Jisasɨv ñɨmar haŋ ŋkwetohe ndɨn hɨrevahomŋgɨmar. Azand, utɨŋg emŋgemŋga kehambez hanave ñɨmŋgɨmar.
37 But a heavy squall came on, and the waves were now dashing into the boat, so that it was fast filling.
Evahomŋgɨzand, uvika yambɨka ohɨrav ŋaiahe ichij ñɨmar. Uvika yambɨka ohɨrav ichɨz ichɨzand yamb hamb utɨŋg unchaŋ irɨzɨŋgwɨz torɨŋɨn are ramar.
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?"
Mach, Jisasɨv utɨŋg wa handɨh ñi ikwɨ ŋgañɨmar. Nsar kwaravɨzahah han ŋgame ŋgañɨmar. Ŋgañɨz ndɨn emɨre kamŋgɨmar. Anɨŋzɨŋ entand arɨmŋgɨmar. Arɨ machun, ndɨh mandɨrarɨŋ arɨmŋgɨmar. Amɨ arɨŋ njɨhamɨn oh o nend arɨmŋgɨmar.
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.
Mach az, Jisasɨv ŋaiahe uvika yambɨka han aŋkarɨpɨr ke mbanave kamar. Mach, ererɨvar amar. Hanɨhaz mach uvi hamb mazand yamb hamb enta maram.
40 "Why are you so timid?" He asked; "have you still no faith?"
Ave mbɨkɨr sezɨrɨh amarɨmar. Amɨ utɨndɨv ezandɨkŋɨmŋgɨn amar. Amɨ njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr mɨŋamŋgɨmbɨram amar.
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."
Az ndɨŋ zɨŋɨmb pɨrorɨŋgaz mbon ya mbon ya kamŋgɨmar. Wɨram mban uñɨman arɨmŋgɨmar. Mbɨ kaz uvika yambɨka hamb kɨrɨm mach ramŋgi arɨmŋgɨmar.
