< 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 he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
2 και εδιδασκεν αυτους εν παραβολαις πολλα και ελεγεν αυτοις εν τη διδαχη αυτου
And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
3 ακουετε ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι
Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower 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, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5 και αλλο επεσεν επι το πετρωδες οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην και ευθεως εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθος γης
And some fell on stony ground, 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
But when the sun was up, 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 some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded 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 on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
9 και ελεγεν αυτοις ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
And he said unto them, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
10 οτε δε εγενετο κατα μονας ηρωτησαν αυτον οι περι αυτον συν τοις δωδεκα την παραβολην
And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of 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 unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
12 ινα βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και μη ιδωσιν και ακουοντες ακουωσιν και μη συνιωσιν μηποτε επιστρεψωσιν και αφεθη αυτοις τα αμαρτηματα
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
13 και λεγει αυτοις ουκ οιδατε την παραβολην ταυτην και πως πασας τας παραβολας γνωσεσθε
And he said unto them, Know all of you not this parable? and how then will all of you know all parables?
14 ο σπειρων τον λογον σπειρει
The sower sows the word. (logos)
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 these are they by the way side, where the word (logos) is sown; but when they have heard, Satan comes immediately, and takes away the word (logos) that 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 these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, (logos) immediately receive it with gladness;
17 και ουκ εχουσιν ριζαν εν εαυτοις αλλα προσκαιροι εισιν ειτα γενομενης θλιψεως η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθυς σκανδαλιζονται
And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution arises for the word's sake, (logos) immediately they are offended.
18 και ουτοι εισιν οι εις τας ακανθας σπειρομενοι οι τον λογον ακουοντες
And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, (logos)
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 this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, (logos) 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 which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, (logos) and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an 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 unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 ου γαρ εστιν κρυπτον ο εαν μη φανερωθη ουδε εγενετο αποκρυφον αλλ ινα ελθη εις φανερον
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23 ει τις εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
If any man have 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 unto them, Take heed what all of you hear: with what measure all of you mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25 ος γαρ αν εχη δοθησεται αυτω και ος ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
For he that has, to him shall be given: and he that has not, from him shall be taken 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, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27 και καθευδη και εγειρηται νυκτα και ημεραν και ο σπορος βλαστανη και μηκυνηται ως ουκ οιδεν αυτος
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knows not how.
28 αυτοματη γαρ η γη καρποφορει πρωτον χορτον ειτα σταχυν ειτα πληρη σιτον εν τω σταχυι
For the earth brings forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 οταν δε παραδω ο καρπος ευθεως αποστελλει το δρεπανον οτι παρεστηκεν ο θερισμος
But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.
30 και ελεγεν πως ομοιωσωμεν την βασιλειαν του θεου η εν τινι παραβολη παραβαλωμεν αυτην
And he said, Unto which shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31 ως κοκκον σιναπεως ος οταν σπαρη επι της γης μικροτερος παντων των σπερματων εστιν των επι της γης
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in 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
But when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
33 και τοιαυταις παραβολαις πολλαις ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον καθως ηδυναντο ακουειν
And with many such parables spoke he the word (logos) unto them, as they were able to hear it.
34 χωρις δε παραβολης ουκ ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον κατ ιδιαν δε τοις μαθηταις αυτου επελυεν παντα
But without a parable spoke he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
35 και λεγει αυτοις εν εκεινη τη ημερα οψιας γενομενης διελθωμεν εις το περαν
And the same day, when the even was come, he says unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 και αφεντες τον οχλον παραλαμβανουσιν αυτον ως ην εν τω πλοιω και αλλα δε πλοια ην μετ αυτου
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 και γινεται λαιλαψ ανεμου μεγαλη τα δε κυματα επεβαλλεν εις το πλοιον ωστε ηδη αυτο βυθιζεσθαι
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
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 hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, care you not that we perish?
39 και διεγερθεις επετιμησεν τω ανεμω και ειπεν τη θαλασση σιωπα πεφιμωσο και εκοπασεν ο ανεμος και εγενετο γαληνη μεγαλη
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. 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 unto them, Why are all of you so fearful? how is it that all of you have no 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 exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
