Mark 4
1 Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.
anantaraM sa samudrataTe punarupadeShTuM prArebhe, tatastatra bahujanAnAM samAgamAt sa sAgaropari naukAmAruhya samupaviShTaH; sarvve lokAH samudrakUle tasthuH|
2 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
tadA sa dR^iShTAntakathAbhi rbahUpadiShTavAn upadishaMshcha kathitavAn,
3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.

4 As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.

5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

6 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7 Others fell amongst the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8 Others fell into the good ground and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”

9 He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
tadanantaraM nirjanasamaye tatsa Ngino dvAdashashiShyAshcha taM taddR^iShTAntavAkyasyArthaM paprachChuH|
11 He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
tadA sa tAnuditavAn IshvararAjyasya nigUDhavAkyaM boddhuM yuShmAkamadhikAro. asti;
12 that ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”
kintu ye vahirbhUtAH "te pashyantaH pashyanti kintu na jAnanti, shR^iNvantaH shR^iNvanti kintu na budhyante, chettai rmanaHsu kadApi parivarttiteShu teShAM pApAnyamochayiShyanta," atohetostAn prati dR^iShTAntaireva tAni mayA kathitAni|
13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
atha sa kathitavAn yUyaM kimetad dR^iShTAntavAkyaM na budhyadhve? tarhi kathaM sarvvAn dR^iShTAntAna bhotsyadhve?
14 The farmer sows the word.
bIjavaptA vAkyarUpANi bIjAni vapati;
15 The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
tatra ye ye lokA vAkyaM shR^iNvanti, kintu shrutamAtrAt shaitAn shIghramAgatya teShAM manaHsUptAni tAni vAkyarUpANi bIjAnyapanayati taeva uptabIjamArgapArshvesvarUpAH|
16 These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.

17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

18 Others are those who are sown amongst the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

19 and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
taeva uptabIjasakaNTakabhUmisvarUpAH|
20 Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”

21 He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand?
tadA so. aparamapi kathitavAn kopi jano dIpAdhAraM parityajya droNasyAdhaH khaTvAyA adhe vA sthApayituM dIpamAnayati kiM?
22 For there is nothing hidden except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light.

23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
yasya shrotuM karNau staH sa shR^iNotu|
24 He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you who hear.
aparamapi kathitavAn yUyaM yad yad vAkyaM shR^iNutha tatra sAvadhAnA bhavata, yato yUyaM yena parimANena parimAtha tenaiva parimANena yuShmadarthamapi parimAsyate; shrotAro yUyaM yuShmabhyamadhikaM dAsyate|
25 For whoever has, to him more will be given; and he who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”

26 He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
anantaraM sa kathitavAn eko lokaH kShetre bIjAnyuptvA
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.

28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
yatohetoH prathamataH patrANi tataH paraM kaNishAni tatpashchAt kaNishapUrNAni shasyAni bhUmiH svayamutpAdayati;
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30 He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
punaH so. akathayad IshvararAjyaM kena samaM? kena vastunA saha vA tadupamAsyAmi?
31 It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,
tat sarShapaikena tulyaM yato mR^idi vapanakAle sarShapabIjaM sarvvapR^ithivIsthabIjAt kShudraM
32 yet when it is sown, grows up and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”

33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
itthaM teShAM bodhAnurUpaM so. anekadR^iShTAntaistAnupadiShTavAn,
34 Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
dR^iShTAntaM vinA kAmapi kathAM tebhyo na kathitavAn pashchAn nirjane sa shiShyAn sarvvadR^iShTAntArthaM bodhitavAn|
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
taddinasya sandhyAyAM sa tebhyo. akathayad AgachChata vayaM pAraM yAma|
36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
tadA te lokAn visR^ijya tamavilambaM gR^ihItvA naukayA pratasthire; aparA api nAvastayA saha sthitAH|
37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.

38 He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?”
tadA sa naukAchashchAdbhAge upadhAne shiro nidhAya nidrita AsIt tataste taM jAgarayitvA jagaduH, he prabho, asmAkaM prANA yAnti kimatra bhavatashchintA nAsti?
39 He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
tadA sa utthAya vAyuM tarjitavAn samudra nchoktavAn shAntaH susthirashcha bhava; tato vAyau nivR^itte. abdhirnistara NgobhUt|
40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
tadA sa tAnuvAcha yUyaM kuta etAdR^iksha NkAkulA bhavata? kiM vo vishvAso nAsti?
41 They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
