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.
και παλιν ηρξατο διδασκειν παρα την θαλασσαν και συνηχθη προσ αυτον οχλοσ πολυσ ωστε αυτον εμβαντα εισ το πλοιον καθησθαι εν τη θαλασση και πασ ο οχλοσ προσ την θαλασσαν επι τησ γησ ην
2 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
και εδιδασκεν αυτουσ εν παραβολαισ πολλα και ελεγεν αυτοισ εν τη διδαχη αυτου
3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
ακουετε ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι
4 As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
και εγενετο εν τω σπειρειν ο μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον και ηλθεν τα πετεινα και κατεφαγεν αυτο
5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
αλλο δε επεσεν επι το πετρωδεσ οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην και ευθεωσ εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθοσ γησ
6 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
ηλιου δε ανατειλαντοσ εκαυματισθη και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη
7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
και αλλο επεσεν εισ τασ ακανθασ και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και συνεπνιξαν αυτο και καρπον ουκ εδωκεν
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.”
και αλλο επεσεν εισ την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον αναβαινοντα και αυξανοντα και εφερεν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον
9 He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
και ελεγεν ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
οτε δε εγενετο καταμονασ ηρωτησαν αυτον οι περι αυτον συν τοισ δωδεκα την παραβολην
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,
και ελεγεν αυτοισ υμιν δεδοται γνωναι το μυστηριον τησ βασιλειασ του θεου εκεινοισ δε τοισ εξω εν παραβολαισ τα παντα γινεται
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.’”
ινα βλεποντεσ βλεπωσιν και μη ιδωσιν και ακουοντεσ ακουωσιν και μη συνιωσιν μηποτε επιστρεψωσιν και αφεθη αυτοισ τα αμαρτηματα
13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
και λεγει αυτοισ ουκ οιδατε την παραβολην ταυτην και πωσ πασασ τασ παραβολασ γνωσεσθε
14 The farmer sows the word.
ο σπειρων τον λογον σπειρει
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.
ουτοι δε εισιν οι παρα την οδον οπου σπειρεται ο λογοσ και οταν ακουσωσιν ευθεωσ ερχεται ο σατανασ και αιρει τον λογον τον εσπαρμενον εν ταισ καρδιαισ αυτων
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.
και ουτοι εισιν ομοιωσ οι επι τα πετρωδη σπειρομενοι οι οταν ακουσωσιν τον λογον ευθεωσ μετα χαρασ λαμβανουσιν αυτον
17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
και ουκ εχουσιν ριζαν εν εαυτοισ αλλα προσκαιροι εισιν ειτα γενομενησ θλιψεωσ η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθεωσ σκανδαλιζονται
18 Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
και ουτοι εισιν οι εισ τασ ακανθασ σπειρομενοι οι τον λογον ακουοντεσ
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)
και αι μεριμναι του αιωνοσ τουτου και η απατη του πλουτου και αι περι τα λοιπα επιθυμιαι εισπορευομεναι συμπνιγουσιν τον λογον και ακαρποσ γινεται (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.”
και ουτοι εισιν οι επι την γην την καλην σπαρεντεσ οιτινεσ ακουουσιν τον λογον και παραδεχονται και καρποφορουσιν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον
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?
και ελεγεν αυτοισ μητι ο λυχνοσ ερχεται ινα υπο τον μοδιον τεθη η υπο την κλινην ουχ ινα επι την λυχνιαν επιτεθη
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.
ου γαρ εστιν τι κρυπτον ο εαν μη φανερωθη ουδε εγενετο αποκρυφον αλλ ινα εισ φανερον ελθη
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
ει τισ εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
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.
και ελεγεν αυτοισ βλεπετε τι ακουετε εν ω μετρω μετρειτε μετρηθησεται υμιν και προστεθησεται υμιν τοισ ακουουσιν
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.”
οσ γαρ αν εχη δοθησεται αυτω και οσ ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
26 He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
και ελεγεν ουτωσ εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου ωσ εαν ανθρωποσ βαλη τον σπορον επι τησ γησ
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
και καθευδη και εγειρηται νυκτα και ημεραν και ο σποροσ βλαστανη και μηκυνηται ωσ ουκ οιδεν αυτοσ
28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
αυτοματη γαρ η γη καρποφορει πρωτον χορτον ειτα σταχυν ειτα πληρη σιτον εν τω σταχυι
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
οταν δε παραδω ο καρποσ ευθεωσ αποστελλει το δρεπανον οτι παρεστηκεν ο θερισμοσ
30 He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
και ελεγεν τινι ομοιωσωμεν την βασιλειαν του θεου η εν ποια παραβολη παραβαλωμεν αυτην
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,
ωσ κοκκον σιναπεωσ οσ οταν σπαρη επι τησ γησ μικροτεροσ παντων των σπερματων εστιν των επι τησ γησ
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.”
και οταν σπαρη αναβαινει και γινεται παντων των λαχανων μειζων και ποιει κλαδουσ μεγαλουσ ωστε δυνασθαι υπο την σκιαν αυτου τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνουν
33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
και τοιαυταισ παραβολαισ πολλαισ ελαλει αυτοισ τον λογον καθωσ εδυναντο ακουειν
34 Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
χωρισ δε παραβολησ ουκ ελαλει αυτοισ κατ ιδιαν δε τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου επελυεν παντα
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
και λεγει αυτοισ εν εκεινη τη ημερα οψιασ γενομενησ διελθωμεν εισ το περαν
36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
και αφεντεσ τον οχλον παραλαμβανουσιν αυτον ωσ ην εν τω πλοιω και αλλα δε πλοιαρια ην μετ αυτου
37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
και γινεται λαιλαψ ανεμου μεγαλη τα δε κυματα επεβαλλεν εισ το πλοιον ωστε αυτο ηδη γεμιζεσθαι
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?”
και ην αυτοσ επι τη πρυμνη επι το προσκεφαλαιον καθευδων και διεγειρουσιν αυτον και λεγουσιν αυτω διδασκαλε ου μελει σοι οτι απολλυμεθα
39 He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
και διεγερθεισ επετιμησεν τω ανεμω και ειπεν τη θαλασση σιωπα πεφιμωσο και εκοπασεν ο ανεμοσ και εγενετο γαληνη μεγαλη
40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
και ειπεν αυτοισ τι δειλοι εστε ουτωσ πωσ ουκ εχετε πιστιν
41 They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν και ελεγον προσ αλληλουσ τισ αρα ουτοσ εστιν οτι και ο ανεμοσ και η θαλασσα υπακουουσιν αυτω
