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.
Jeesus hakkas taas mere ääres õpetama. Teda tuli kuulama nii palju rahvast, et ta astus paati ja istus vee peal paadis, sel ajal kui rahvas kuulas teda kaldal.
2 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
Ta näitlikustas oma õpetusi paljude lugudega.
3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
„Kuulake, “ütles ta. „Üks külvaja läks välja külvama.
4 As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
Kui ta külvates seemneid laiali puistas, kukkus osa teerajale, linnud tulid ja sõid seemned sealt ära.
5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
Osa seemneid pudenes kivisele pinnale, kus ei olnud eriti mulda. Madalas mullakihis hakkasid taimed kiiresti kasvama, aga kuna mullakiht ei olnud sügav,
6 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
kõrvetas päike taimi. Kuna neil ei olnud päris juuri, närbusid taimed peagi.
7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Osa seemneid pudenes ohakate sekka. Ohakad kasvasid suureks ja lämmatasid tärkava orase, nii et sellest ei tulnud midagi.
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.”
Osa seemneid langes heale pinnasele, kus nad idanesid ja kasvasid ning andsid saagiks mõni kolmkümmend, mõni kuuskümmend ja mõni sada korda külvatust rohkem.
9 He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Kui teil on kuulmiseks kõrvad, siis kuulake, mida ma teile räägin.“
10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
Kui Jeesus oli omapead, küsisid kaksteist jüngrit ja teised, kes olid koos temaga, mida need võrdlused tähendasid.
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,
Ta ütles neile: „Teie saate Jumala riigi mõistatusest aru. Kuid kõrvalseisjatel on ainult lood,
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.’”
nii et kuigi nad näevad, nad tegelikult ei „näe“, ja kuigi nad kuulevad, nad ei mõista, muidu pöörduksid nad minu poole ja saaksid andeks.“
13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
„Kas te ei saa sellest loost aru?“küsis Jeesus neilt. „Kui ei saa, kuidas te siis kõigist ülejäänud lugudest aru saate?
14 The farmer sows the word.
Külvaja külvab sõna.
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.
Seemned rajal, kuhu sõna külvati, kujutavad neid, kes kuulevad sõnumit, kuid siis tuleb kohe Saatan ja võtab ära sõna, mis neisse on külvatud.
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.
Samal kombel kujutab kivine pind, kuhu seemned langesid, neid, kes kuulevad sõna ja võtavad selle kohe rõõmuga vastu.
17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
Aga kuna neil ei ole päris juuri, jäävad nad püsima ainult veidikeseks ajaks, kuni tulevad probleemid või tagakiusamine, ja siis langevad nad kiiresti.
18 Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
Ohakate sekka külvatu kujutab neid, kes kuulevad sõna,
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)
kuid selle maailma mured, rikkuse ahvatlus ja muud segavad asjaolud lämmatavad sõna kasvu ja see ei kanna vilja. (aiōn g165)
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.”
Ent heale pinnasele külvatud seemned kujutavad neid, kes kuulevad sõna, võtavad selle vastu ja kannavad vilja, andes kolmkümmend, kuuskümmend ja sada korda rohkem kui külvati.
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?
Kes paneb lambi ämbri või voodi alla?“küsis Jeesus neilt. „Ei, lamp pannakse üles lambijalale.
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.
Kõik, mis on varjatud, tuleb ilmsiks ja kõik, mis on salajas, saab avalikuks.
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Kui teil on kõrvad kuulmiseks, siis kuulake, mida ma räägin!
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.
Pange tähele seda, mida te kuulete, “ütles ta neile, „sest teile antakse vastavalt sellele, kui palju tahate vastu võtta, mõõt mõõdu eest.
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.”
Neile, kel juba on arusaamine, antakse rohkem, kuid neilt, kes ei taha teada, võetakse ära seegi vähene arusaamine, mis neil on.
26 He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
Jumala riik on nagu mees, kes külvab põllule seemet, “ütles Jeesus.
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
„Ta läheb magama ja tõuseb varakult üles ja nii iga päev, kuid ta ei tea, kuidas seeme idaneb ja tärkab.
28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Maa annab saaki iseenesest. Kõigepealt tuleb välja oras, seejärel viljapea ja siis küpse viljaga pea.
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
Kui vili on küps, koristab põllumees selle sirbiga, sest saak on valmis.
30 He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
Millega võrrelda Jumala riiki? Missugust näidet kasutada?“küsis ta.
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,
„See on nagu sinepiseeme − kõige pisem seeme.
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.”
Aga kui see maha külvata, siis kasvab sellest taim, mis on suurem kui teised taimed. Selle oksad on piisavalt suured, nii et linnud saavad seal varjus olla.“
33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
Jeesus kasutas rahvale kõneledes palju selliseid näitlikke lugusid, et nad mõistaksid võimalikult hästi.
34 Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
Õigupoolest kasutas ta avalikult rääkides üksnes jutustusi, kuid omaette olles selgitas ta oma jüngritele kõike.
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
Samal päeval hiljem − õhtul − ütles ta oma jüngritele: „Lähme üle mere teisele poole.“
36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
Jätnud rahvahulga maha, läksid jüngrid koos Jeesusega paati. Nende juures oli veel teisigi paate.
37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
Peagi hakkas möllama kohutav torm, lained paiskusid vastu paati ja lõid vett sisse.
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?”
Jeesus magas ahtris, pea padjale toetatud. Jüngrid äratasid ta kisendades: „Õpetaja, kas sa ei hooli sellest, et me oleme uppumas?“
39 He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
Jeesus ärkas. Ta käskis tuulel vaibuda ja ütles lainetele: „Rahunege! Ärge möllake!“Tuul vaibus ja vesi jäi täiesti tüüneks.
40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
„Miks te nii väga kohkusite? Kas te ei ole õppinud mind usaldama?“küsis ta neilt.
41 They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Nad olid jahmunud ja ehmunud. Nad küsisid üksteiselt: „Kes ta ometi on? Isegi tuul ja lained kuuletuvad talle!“
