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.
Kange alya tengula ku vulanisia mulubale palubale pa lisumbe. Nilipugha ilivaha likakong'ana pikunsungutila umwene, akalamula pikwingila mu ngalama na akikala. ilipugha lyoni likava mulubale kunji mulisumbe.
2 Then He proceeded to teach them many lessons in figurative language; and in His teaching He said,
Pe akavavulanisia sinyinga mufuhwanikisio, pe akajova kuvanave ni mbulansio sake.
3 "Listen: the sower goes out to sow.
Pulikisia, unkesambeju alyalutile kukesa imbeju.
4 As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up.
Ye ikesa imbeju jimonga jikaghua musila, injuni sikisa sikahola. Ijinge jikaghua palinalavue, pano ilihanga lilyale lidebe.
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;
Nakalingi sikuuma, ulwakuva nasilyale palihanga ilyakukwilana.
6 but when the sun is risen, it is scorched, and through having no root it withers away.
Looli ilijuva lika nyaanya, jikuuma, ulwakuva nasilyale ni ndela, sikuuma. Ijinge jikaghua pa malela gha madasia.
7 Some, again, falls among the thorns; and the thorns spring up and stifle it, so that it yields no crop.
Neke amadasia yeghalembile ghaka fweta, sikakunua kukoma ifipeke vunufu
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."
Ijinge jikaghua pa lihanga ilinofu jikamela nakukoma vunono, jimo ifijigho fitatu, ijinge fijigho ntanda, ijinge kilundo”.
9 "Listen," He added, "every one who has ears to listen with!"
Pe akati, “Unyakupulika, apulike!”
10 When He was alone, the Twelve and the others who were about Him requested Him to explain His figurative language.
U Yesu unsiki ghuno akale mwene, vala vano valyale pipi na vala kijigho na vavili vakamposia kufihwanikisio.
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;
Akavamula muvanave, “Mupelilue isa vusyefu uvwa vutwa vwa Nguluve. Neke vano valikunji ifinu fyoni fihwanikisio,
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.'"
neke vangalole, ena vilola, loli navangalole, kupulika vipulike neke navangasitang'anie, looli vasasyetuka nu Ngulu ngale avasaghile.”
13 "Do you all miss the meaning of this parable?" He added; "how then will you understand the rest of my parables?"
Pe akajova muvanave, “Namukukitang'ania ikihwanikisio iki? Pe kyamukufitang'ania ndani ifihwanikiso ifinga?
14 "What the sower sows is the Message.
Unkesambeju akesa ilisio.
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.
Vamonga vevano vaghwile mulubale mu sila, pano ilisio likesilue. Pano valyapulike, nakalinge usetano akisa na pivusia ilisi lino likale mu moojo ghave.
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,
Vamonga vevala vano vakakesilue pakyanya pa linalavue, vano, vikulipulika ilisio, vikulyupila ng'aning'ani nulukelo.
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.
Vasila ndela sesoni mu mojo ghava, looli valyale nu lugudo ludebe. Looli inalaamu ni mumuko pano fikwisa vwimila vwa lisio, unsiki ghughuo vikuvala.
18 Others there are who receive the seed among the thorns: these are they who have heard the Message,
Avange vevala vano vakakesilue mumifui. vikulipulika ilisio,
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)
neke imumuko sa mu iisi, uvuyasu vwimila vwa kyuma, nuvunoghelua vwa mbombo isinge, fikuvingila pe fifweta ilisio, pelikunua ku koma imeke. (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."
Looli vano vavyalilue mulihanga ili nofu. vikulipuluka ilisio na kukulyupila neke vikoma ifipeke: jumo ifipeke fijigho fitatu ujunge fijigho ntanda, ujunge kilindo kimo.”
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?
U Yesu akavavula, “Ulumuli luletua munkate mu nyumba na pikulubika pa ndilo, nambe pasi pa fungo? Jeeje luvikua pa kimilo.
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.
Ulwakuva nakwekile kyekyoni kino kifisime kino nakilikagulika, sope isa vusyefu silivikua pa vwelefu.
23 Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
Unya kupulika apilike!”
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.
Akavavula, “muve maaso kukino mukukipulika, ulwakuva ikipimo kino mipimila, kyekino milipimivua, kange kilikwongelele kulyumue.
25 For those who have will have more given them; and from those who have not, even what they have will be taken away."
Ulwakuva umwene juno alinakyope, ilikyupila kukila, jula juno nsila, kuhuma kwa mwene ilipokua nambe fila fini alinafyope.”
26 Another saying of His was this: "The Kingdom of God is as if a man scattered seed over the ground:
Pe akajova, “Uvutwa vwa Nguluve vulindavule ikihwaanikisio kya muunhu unkesa mbeju mumughunda.
27 he spends days and nights, now awake, now asleep, while the seed sprouts and grows tall, he knows not how.
Umwene akaghona na kusisimuka, imbeju jika lemba nakukula, kisila kukagula muno jimelela.
28 Of itself the land produces the crop-- first the blade, then the ear; afterwards the perfect grain is seen in the ear.
Iisi jihumia jijio; ghitala amatundu, neke amasoje, kange imeke sino selile.
29 But no sooner is the crop ripe, than he sends the reapers, because the time of harvest has come."
Unsiki ghuno imbeju jiva jelile itwalagha uvumego, ulwakuva unsiki ghwa kubena ghufikile.”
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?
Pe akajova, “tu hwananie uvutwa vwa Nguluve ni kinu kinge, nambe utumile ikihwani ikinge ku kwolelela?
31 It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the earth, is the smallest of all the seeds in the world;
Vuhwani vwa mbeju indebe kukila soni, nambe pano jilya vyalilue jilyale ndebe kyongo kukila imbeju soni mu iisi.
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."
Nambe, unsiki ghuno jikavyalilue, jimela na kukula ghuva mela nkope kukila amamele ghoni agha mubusitani, inhaafi saake siva mbaha, nasinjuni sa kuvulanga sitendagha ifivwasu mumuo.
33 With many such parables He used to speak the Message to them according to their capacity for receiving it.
Akavavulanisiagha avaanhu ilisio lyake mufihwanikisio finga na kujova mu vanave, kavavulanisiagha ndavule vanoghile kujova,
34 But except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them; while to His own disciples He expounded everything, in private.
na akalovagha kimonga kisila kuhwanikisio. Looli unsiki ghuno lyale mwne, akavaghanulilagha sooni avavulanisivua vaake.
35 The same day, in the evening, He said to them, "Let us cross to the other side."
Mufighono ifio, ye jifikile ivwilile, akajova muvanave, “Tulovoke imwambo jila”.
36 So they got away from the crowd, and took Him--as He was--in the boat; and other boats accompanied Him.
Pa uluo vakalileka ilipugha, vakantola u Yesu, unsiki ughuo ye alimunkate mungalava. Ingalava isinge silyale palikimo nu mwene.
37 But a heavy squall came on, and the waves were now dashing into the boat, so that it was fast filling.
Imhepo inyangufu jikaguguma na mavingo ghakavingilagha munkate mu ngalava ingalava wejilya memile.
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?"
Looli u Yesu alyale mu shtri, alyaghonile pa kisaghu. Vakansisimula, vakati, “Ghwe m'bulaniisi, uve kulyuve ghuvona na kiinu usue pano tufua?”
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.
Pe akasimuka akajidalikila imhepo na pikujivula inyanja, '“Litama, ulughano”. Imhepo jikalitama, kukava mye.
40 "Why are you so timid?" He asked; "have you still no faith?"
Akaajova muveene, “Lwakiki muli voghofi?”
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."
Valya memile uludwesi luvaha, vakajovesania, vakati, “Uju ghwe veeni, juno imhepo namavingo fikumpulika?”.
