Mark 4
1 And He began to teach again by the sea-side, and there was gathered unto Him a great multitude; so that He went into a ship, and sat on board, and all the people were by the sea, upon the shore.
Kayi Yesu walatatika kwiyisha mumbali mwa lwenje. Likoto linene lya bantu lyalabungana nkwalikuba, cakwinseti walatanta mubwato mwalakekala capataliko, nalyo likoto lya bantu lyalekala kumunta mumbali mwa lwenje.
2 And He taught them many things by similitudes, and said to them in his instruction,
Walatatika kubeyisha bintu bingi mumikonshanyo. Walambeti,
3 hearken, Behold a sower went out to sow:
“Kamunyumfwani! Muntu naumbi walaya kumwaya mbuto mulibala.
4 and in sowing, some fell by the way-side, and the birds came and ate it up:
Mpwalikumwaya mbuto, nashimbi shalawila mumbali mwanshila, neco kwalesa bikeni byalashilya.
5 and some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth, and it sprang up immediately, because it had not depth of earth;
Mbuto nashimbi shalawila pa mabwe pabula bulongo bwingi. Shalamena bwangu, pakwinga nkapalikuba bulongo bwingi.
6 but when the sun rose, it was burnt up, and withered because it had no root:
Nomba lisuba mpolyatantako, mumena walanyana ne lumwi pakwinga nkashalikuba ne myanda yashimpa.
7 and some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit:
Mbuto nashimbi shalawila pa myunga, nomba myunga yalakula ne kufwekelela mumena, neco uliya kusema bisepo.
8 and other fell on good ground, and yielded fruit springing up and increasing; and produced some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred-fold.
Nomba nashimbi shalawila pabulongo bwabolela, shalamena ne kukula cena, shalatatika kusema bisepo, nashimbi makumi atatu, nashimbi makumi asanu ne limo, nashimbi shalasema mwanda umo kupita mbuto shalamwaiwa.”
9 And He said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Pakupwililisha, Yesu walambeti, “Uyo ukute matwi anyumfwe!”
10 And when He was apart from the multitude, those that were about Him with the twelve asked Him concerning the parable.
Yesu mpwalekala enka, nabambi balikuba bekala pepi nendi pamo ne basa likumi ne babili balesa kumwipusha sha mikoshanyo isa.
11 And he said unto them, To you it is granted to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but unto them that are without all things are delivered in parables:
Nendi walabakumbuleti, “Amwe mulapewa casolekwa ca Bwami bwa Lesa, nomba kuli balikunsa byonse bilenshikinga mu mikoshanyo
12 that in seeing they may see and not perceive, and in hearing they may hear and not understand, least they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them.
kwambeti, “kulanga kabalanga, nsombi kabatalangishishi, kunyumfwa kabayumfwa, nomba kabatanyumfwishishi, pakwinga na bensoco, ngabasanduka, Nendi Lesa ngaubalekelela.”
13 Then saith He unto them, Do ye not understand this parable? how then will ye understand all my other parables.
Yesu walabepusheti, “Sena nkamuna munyumfwishisha mukoshanyo uwu? Inga lino nimukanyumfwishisheconi mikoshanyo naimbi?
14 The sower is he that soweth the word. And these are they by the way-side:
Shikumwaya mbuto ulyeti shikukambauka maswi a Lesa.
15 where the word is sown; but when they have heard it, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
Mbuto shalakawila mumbali munshila, shilemanininga bantu bakute kunyumfwa maswi a Lesa, nomba banyumfwa, cabwangubwangu Satana ukute kwisa kwafunyamo maswi amwaiwa mukati mwabo.
16 And in like manner, they that are sown as on stony grounds are such, as when they hear the word,
Kayi mbuto shisa shalakawila pa mabwe, shilemanininga bantu bakute kunyumfwa maswi a Lesa ne kwatambula pa cindi copeleco mwakukondwa.
17 immediately receive it with joy, but have no root in themselves, and so continue but for a short season: and then, when affliction cometh, or persecution on account of the word, they are as soon offended.
Nomba pakwinga maswi awo aliyawa miyanda, bakute kulikakatishako kacindi kafupi. Bacana mapesho ne bishikubaba pacebo ca maswi a Lesa, bakute kutyompwa bwangu.
18 And those that are sown as among thorns, are these: such as hear the word indeed,
Nomba mbuto nashimbi shalakawila pa myunga, shilemanininga bantu bakute kunyumfwa maswi a Lesa,
19 but the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and inordinate desires after other things entering in choke the word, and so it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
nomba cebo cakufula kwa bishikutatisha pa buyumi bwabo pacindi cino, ne bwikalo bwalunkumbwa lwabuboni, ne bintu nabimbi, bikute kwingila ne kufwekelela maswi awa, neco nkakute kusema bisepo. (aiōn g165)
20 And these are they who are like seed sown on good ground: such as hear the word, and receive it; and bring forth fruit, some thirty-fold, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
Imbuto isho shalakawila pa bulongo bwabolela, shilemanininga bantu bakute kunyumfwa maswi a Lesa ne kwatambula cena, ne kusema bisepo makumi atatu, nashimbi makumi asanu ne limo, nashimbi mwanda umo kupita isho shalabyalwa.”
21 And He said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or a bed, and not to be set on a candlestick?
Pacindi copeleco walabepusheti, “Nkabakute kufwekelela lampi mu mutanga, nambi kubika panshi pabulili, sena ncobakute kwinsa? Sena nkabakute kubika lampi pantangalala?
22 for there is nothing hidden, which may not be revealed; nor was there any thing concealed, but in order to become manifest.
Paliya bintu byasolekwa, byeti bikabule kuyubululwa. Kayi paliya bintu byafwekwa byeti bikabule kufwekulwa.
23 If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Uyo ukute matwi anyumfwe!”
24 And mind what ye hear: for with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you; and more shall be imparted to you that are observant:
Yesu walambeti, “Shakoni mano kuli mbyomulanyumfunga. Mupimo ngomulapimininga banenu, munshila imo imo ne njamwe nibakamupimineko, cakubinga nibaka musankanishilepo.
25 for whosoever hath, to him more shall be given; and he that hath not, even what he hath, or seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.
Pakwinga uyo ukute bingi nakapewe bingi, nomba uyo ukuteko kang'ana, nambi kopelako nkalayeyengeti ukakute nibakamulamune.”
26 And He said, The kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed into the ground,
Yesu walambeti, “Bwami bwa Lesa buli mbuli muntu ukute kumwaila mbuto pa bulongo,
27 and sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up, and increase; he knows not how.
ukute kuya kona mashiku ne kupunduka bwaca, nasho mbuto shisa shamwaiwa shikute kumena ne kukula. Nomba moshikute kukulila, nkakute kwinshibapo sobwe.
28 For the earth produces fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear:
Bulongo pacabo bwine bukute kumenesha, mukuya kwa cindi ngala shikute kuboneka, kayi mukuya kwa cindi kukute kupula tubeshi, kumapwililisho kwakendi, inseke shakoma shikute kubamo.
29 but when the fruit is ripe, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
bisepo byakoma ukute kubiyangula ne Jekesi, pakwinga cindi ca kutebula cilakwana.”
30 And He said, To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or by what similitude shall we represent it?
Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga Bwami bwa Lesa tubwelanishe necani? Nambi tubwambe mumukoshanyo ulyeconi?
31 It is like to a grain of mustard-seed, which when it is sown in the ground, is one of the lest of all the seeds on the earth:
Bulyeti kambuto ka masitadi, ako pa cindi ca kukabyala kakute kakali kang'ana pa mbuto shonse shakubyala sha pacishi ca panshi.
32 but after it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces large branches, so that the birds of the air may lodge under it's shadow.
Nomba kabyalwa kakute kumena ne kukula kupita mbuto shonse sha matewu shili mulibala, kakute kuba ne misampi inene, cakwinseti bikeni bikute kupangilamo bisangala mulumfwile.”
33 And in many such parables spake He the word to them, as they had ability to hear it: but spake not to them without a parable.
Yesu walikukambaukila bantu mulumbe mumikoshanyo ingi yamushobowu, mbuli mobelela kukonsha kunyumfwila.
34 And He explained all to his disciples in private.
Cakubinga uliya kwambapo nabo ciliconse kwakubula mukoshanyo, nsombi beshikwiya bakendi bonka embwali kubapandulwila byonse babanga pa lubasu bonka.
35 And the same day, in the evening, He saith to them, Let us go over to the other side.
Pa busuba bopelobo mansailo, Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Katutampukilako kutala kwa lwenje.”
36 So they dismissed the multitude, and took Him as He was in the ship. But there were other small vessels likewise with Him.
Neco balashiya likoto lya bantu, ne kutanta nendi mubwato mbwalikubamo, kayi palikuba mato ambi.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now almost full.
Pacindici kwalesa lukumpwe lunene lwa ngofu, neco mankape alatatika kuma ku bwato, palashala pang'ana kwambeti bwato bwibile.
38 And He was in the stern asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, art thou under no concern that we are perishing?
Nsombi Yesu walikuba mu bwato kunyuma, kaliwona tulo kali watamina pa mutamino. Beshikwiya bakendi balamunyukumuna ne kumwambileti, “Bashikwiyisha, nkamulashingonga mano, kwambeti tulipepi kufwa?”
39 And He rose and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still; and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Walapashamuka ne kulucancilila lukupwe ne kulwambileti “Leka!” Kayi ne kwambila mankape, “Tontola!” Popelapo lukupwe lwalacileka, nawo mankape pa lwenje alamwena tonto.
40 And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how! have ye no faith?
Neco Yesu walabepusheti, “nicani ncemwabela ne buyowa bwa swaswalo? Sena mucili babula lushomo?”
41 And they were exceedingly afraid, and said to one another, Who is this? that even the wind and the sea obey Him?
Nsombi nabo balanyumfwa buyowa ne kutatika kwamba kuli umo ne munendi eti, Inga uyu “Niyani cakwinseti lukupwe ne mankape pa lwenje byonse bilamunyumfwilanga!”
