Marqqossa 4
1 Hara wode qasse abba achan tamarso oykidees, izakko daro derey shiqidees.
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.
2 Izikka daro yota lemuson hizgi tamarsidees.
He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 Siyitte issadey kath zeranas kezidees.
“Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
4 Izi zershin issi issi zerethi oogge bolla wodhidees. Oogge bolla wodhida zeretha kafoti maxi mida.
As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Baggay lo7o biittay baynda mela biittan wodhides shin bittay mela gidida gish herakka caridees.
Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Gido atin away kezida mala shulidees. Xapho yedonta gish melidees.
When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Qasse issi zerethi handay aguntha gidon wodhidees agunthaykka dicidi culida gish ayfibeyna.
Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Hara zerethi qasse lo7o orde biitta bolla wodhidagish caridi dicidees ayfekka ayfidees; issa hezu tammu, issay qasse usuppun tammu, hara issay qasse xettu ayfidees.
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 Yesusay qassekka siyiza haythi diza uray siyo gidees.
He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 Izi berkka dishin tammane namm7atinne kasse izara diza asay izi yotida lemusoza gish iza zari oychida.
When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 Izikka istas intes Xoossa kawotetha xuray gelidees shin karen dizaytas gidikko yoyi wuri lemusora yotetees.
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,
12 Hessikka kasse “istti beydi be7idaysa akekontamalanne istti simontamala, qassekka ista nagaray maretonta malasa gedees.
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.’”
13 Qssekka Yesusay hiz gidees “Haysi lemusoy intess gelibeyne? Histin hara lemuso inte wosti eranne?
He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
14 Zeretha zeriday qaala zeres
The farmer sows the word.
15 Issi issi asati ogge bolla wodhida zeretha mala, issti qaala siyiza wode Xala7ey yidi herakka istti siyida qaala issta wozinappe ekki gidees.
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.
16 Hessakko harati mela biitta bolla wodhida zeretha milatetees. Istti qaka siyidi ufaysara eketess.
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 Gido attin issti xappo yedonta gish gutha wode gam7ishin qaala gedon metoy woykko godistay asata bolla yiza wode herakka dhuphetetees.
They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 Harati qasse aguntha gidon wodhida zeretha milatetees, issti qalla sisi siyetees.
Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
19 Gido atin ha biitta metoynne misha pacehnne hara amoy issiti siyida qaala culidi ayfe ayfonta mala digees. (aiōn g165)
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)
20 Hankoyta lo7o biittan zaretidda zeretha milatetees, heytikka qaala siyidi ekizadene hezu tammu, ayfe usuppun tammu ayfene xetu ayfe ayfizayta.
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 Qassekka hizgdeess “Xomppe oythidi gemason woykko arssa garsan wothi ereti? Po7ana mala qonceson wothista giddene?
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?
22 Hessa gish qotetidi qoncen kezontay po7on kezonta gemman attanay bawa.
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 Hessa gish siyiza haythi dizadey siyo.
If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 Gujidikka inte siyizaysa wozinan wothite inte maqiza mishara intess makkistana hessappe daroy gujettana.
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.
25 Dizades gujistanashin bayndadefe izas dizarakka ekkistana gidana gidees.
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 Qssekka hizgidees “Xoossa kawotethi zereth zeriza issi ura milataysu.
He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
27 Zeridadey ommars zin7es wontishin dendees, gido attin izi eronta dishin zaretida kaththay mokidi culidees.
and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
28 Gadeyka koyro carecha kalethada buxxa buxxappe kalethada buxxa bolla lo7o ayfe immadus.
For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Kathay kaxidappe guye boney gakin ketha aaway herakka matha oykkes.
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 Qassekka hiz gidees “Xoossa kawoteth nu azara ginisi beyane? azara lemusane?
He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
31 Biitta bolla wursofe lafa gidida sanafice ayfe milataysu.
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,
32 Zeristada dicidappe guye qass akakiltista wursofe adhiza gish kafoti yidi he akakiltey hangista kuwa gidon shempetees.
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 Yesusaykka asay ekanas danda7izaysa kena hayta milatiza hara daro lemusora istas yotides.
With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 Aymish gidikkokka asas lemusoy baynda yoti erena. Izinne iza kalizayti xala dizawode gidikko wurssi birsh yootes.
Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 He galas gadey qamishin bena kalizayta “anne gede he pinth piinos” gides.
On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
36 Issti asa hen agagidi izi uti diza wogolozara Yeussa ekki bidda. Hara wogolotikka istara isife detes.
Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
37 He wode wolqama bulahey abba bolla dendidi wogoloza hathi kummana gakanas bulahey shocechidees.
A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 Gido atin Yesusay borkoth borkotidi wogolozas guye bagan zin7idees. Isstikka iza denthidi “astamare nuni wurshin nena metene” gida.
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?”
39 Izikka dendidid carkoza “Coo7u ga”, abbakka “woppu ga” gides, carkoykka co7u sirphi gidees, mullekka co7udees.
He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
40 Bena kalizaytakka “Haysatho aazas babideti? hayssa gakanas intess ammanoy bayee?” gidees.
He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
41 Issttikka kehi babidi ba garsan issay issara “caarkkoynne abbay izass azazetizay haysi onnee?” getetida.
They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
