< Κατα Μαρκον 4 >
1 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 ησαν
And again He began to teach by the sea: and a great multitude is gathered unto Him, so that He having gone into a ship, sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was at the sea on the land.
2 και εδιδασκεν αυτους εν παραβολαις πολλα και ελεγεν αυτοις εν τη διδαχη αυτου
And He was teaching them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said to them,
3 ακουετε ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι
Hear: Behold, a sower went out to sow:
4 και εγενετο εν τω σπειρειν ο μεν επεσεν επι την οδον και ηλθον τα πετεινα και κατεφαγεν αυτο
and it came to pass while he was sowing, some fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured it.
5 και αλλο επεσεν επι το πετρωδες οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην και ευθεως εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθος γης
And other fell upon stones, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 ηλιου δε ανατειλαντος εκαυματισθη και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη
and when the sun arose, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 και αλλο επεσεν εις τας ακανθας και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και συνεπνιξαν αυτο και καρπον ουκ εδωκεν
And other fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up, and choked it, and it gave no fruit.
8 και αλλο επεσεν εις την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον αναβαινοντα και αυξανοντα και εφερεν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον
And other fell in good ground, and springing up and growing, gave fruit, and produced, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.
9 και ελεγεν αυτοις ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
And He said, Let the one having ears to hear, hear.
10 οτε δε εγενετο κατα μονας ηρωτησαν αυτον οι περι αυτον συν τοις δωδεκα την παραβολην
And when they were alone, and those around Him along with the twelve asked Him the parable.
11 και ελεγεν αυτοις υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας του θεου εκεινοις δε τοις εξω εν παραβολαις τα παντα γινεται
And He said to them, To you it has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them who are without, all things are in parables:
12 ινα βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και μη ιδωσιν και ακουοντες ακουωσιν και μη συνιωσιν μηποτε επιστρεψωσιν και αφεθη αυτοις τα αμαρτηματα
in order that seeing they may see, and not know; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they may turn, and their sins may he forgiven unto them.
13 και λεγει αυτοις ουκ οιδατε την παραβολην ταυτην και πως πασας τας παραβολας γνωσεσθε
And He says to them, Do you not understand this parable? and how will you know all parables?
14 ο σπειρων τον λογον σπειρει
The sower sows the word.
15 ουτοι δε εισιν οι παρα την οδον οπου σπειρεται ο λογος και οταν ακουσωσιν ευθυς ερχεται ο σατανας και αιρει τον λογον τον εσπαρμενον εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων
And those who are by the way-side, where the word is sown; and when they hear it, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which was sown in their hearts.
16 και ουτοι ομοιως εισιν οι επι τα πετρωδη σπειρομενοι οι οταν ακουσωσιν τον λογον ευθυς μετα χαρας λαμβανουσιν αυτον
And those who are sowed upon the rocks are likewise, those who, when they may hear the word, immediately with joy receive it.
17 και ουκ εχουσιν ριζαν εν εαυτοις αλλα προσκαιροι εισιν ειτα γενομενης θλιψεως η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθυς σκανδαλιζονται
And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary; then tribulation or persecution arising on account of the word, they are immediately offended:
18 και ουτοι εισιν οι εις τας ακανθας σπειρομενοι οι τον λογον ακουοντες
and others are those who are sown among the thorns; they are those hearing the word,
19 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 )
and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and desires concerning other things coming into them, choke out the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn )
20 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
And these are they who are sown on good ground; whosoever hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred.
21 και ελεγεν αυτοις μητι ερχεται ο λυχνος ινα υπο τον μοδιον τεθη η υπο την κλινην ουχ ινα επι την λυχνιαν επιτεθη
And He said to them; Whether does the light come, that it may be placed under a bushel, or under a bed? is it not that it may be placed on a candlestick?
22 ου γαρ εστιν κρυπτον ο εαν μη φανερωθη ουδε εγενετο αποκρυφον αλλ ινα ελθη εις φανερον
For there is nothing hidden which may not be made manifest; neither is there any thing concealed, but that it may come into the light.
23 ει τις εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
If any one has ears to hear, let him hear.
24 και ελεγεν αυτοις βλεπετε τι ακουετε εν ω μετρω μετρειτε μετρηθησεται υμιν και προστεθησεται υμιν τοις ακουουσιν
And He said to them. See what you hear: with what measure you measure it shall be measured unto you: and it shall be added unto you who hear.
25 ος γαρ αν εχη δοθησεται αυτω και ος ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
For whosoever has, it shall be given unto him: and he who has not, it shall be taken from him even that which he has.
26 και ελεγεν ουτως εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου ως αν ανθρωπος βαλη τον σπορον επι της γης
And He said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as a man may cast seed on the ground;
27 και καθευδη και εγειρηται νυκτα και ημεραν και ο σπορος βλαστανη και μηκυνηται ως ουκ οιδεν αυτος
and he may sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed germinates and grows, as he does not know.
28 αυτοματη γαρ η γη καρποφορει πρωτον χορτον ειτα σταχυν ειτα πληρη σιτον εν τω σταχυι
The earth spontaneously brings forth fruit; first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear.
29 οταν δε παραδω ο καρπος ευθεως αποστελλει το δρεπανον οτι παρεστηκεν ο θερισμος
And when the fruit may develop, immediately he thrusts in the sickle, because the harvest is at hand.
30 και ελεγεν πως ομοιωσωμεν την βασιλειαν του θεου η εν τινι παραβολη παραβαλωμεν αυτην
And He said, To what may we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable may we present it?
31 ως κοκκον σιναπεως ος οταν σπαρη επι της γης μικροτερος παντων των σπερματων εστιν των επι της γης
Tis like a grain of mustard seed, which when it may be sown upon the earth, is the smallest of all seeds which are upon the earth,
32 και οταν σπαρη αναβαινει και γινεται μειζων παντων των λαχανων και ποιει κλαδους μεγαλους ωστε δυνασθαι υπο την σκιαν αυτου τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνουν
and when it may be sowed, it springs up, and becomes the greatest of herbs, and produces great branches; so that the birds of the heavens are able to lodge under its shadow.
33 και τοιαυταις παραβολαις πολλαις ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον καθως ηδυναντο ακουειν
And in many such parables He continued to speak the word to them, as they were able to hear.
34 χωρις δε παραβολης ουκ ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον κατ ιδιαν δε τοις μαθηταις αυτου επελυεν παντα
And without a parable He did not speak to them: and He privately expounded all things to His disciples.
35 και λεγει αυτοις εν εκεινη τη ημερα οψιας γενομενης διελθωμεν εις το περαν
And He says to them, on that day, it being evening, Let us go away to the other side.
36 και αφεντες τον οχλον παραλαμβανουσιν αυτον ως ην εν τω πλοιω και αλλα δε πλοια ην μετ αυτου
And leaving the multitude, they receive Him, as He was in the ship; and other ships were also with Him.
37 και γινεται λαιλαψ ανεμου μεγαλη τα δε κυματα επεβαλλεν εις το πλοιον ωστε ηδη αυτο βυθιζεσθαι
And there was a great storm of wind: and the waves were dashing into the ship, so that it was already filled.
38 και ην αυτος επι τη πρυμνη επι το προσκεφαλαιον καθευδων και διεγειρουσιν αυτον και λεγουσιν αυτω διδασκαλε ου μελει σοι οτι απολλυμεθα
And He was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow: and they awaken Him, and say to Him; Teacher, is there no care to thee that we perish?
39 και διεγερθεις επετιμησεν τω ανεμω και ειπεν τη θαλασση σιωπα πεφιμωσο και εκοπασεν ο ανεμος και εγενετο γαληνη μεγαλη
And being awakened, He said to the sea, Be calm, be quiet. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 και ειπεν αυτοις τι δειλοι εστε ουτως πως ουκ εχετε πιστιν
And He said to them, Why are you so cowardly? how have you not faith?
41 και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν και ελεγον προς αλληλους τις αρα ουτος εστιν οτι και ο ανεμος και η θαλασσα υπακουουσιν αυτω
And they feared with a great fear, and continued to say to one another, Who then is this, because the wind and the sea obey Him?
