Κατα Μαρκον 4
1 Καὶ πάλιν ἤρξατο διδάσκειν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν. καὶ ⸀συνάγεταιπρὸς αὐτὸν ὄχλος ⸀πλεῖστος ὥστε αὐτὸν ⸂εἰς πλοῖον ἐμβάντα καθῆσθαι ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ⸀ἦσαν
And again he began to teach by the sea, and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he, having gone into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near the sea, on the land,
2 καὶ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν παραβολαῖς πολλά, καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ·
and he taught them many things in similes, and he said to them in his teaching:
3 Ἀκούετε. ἰδοὺ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ⸀σπείρωνσπεῖραι.
'Hearken, lo, the sower went forth to sow;
4 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ σπείρειν ὃ μὲν ἔπεσεν παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν, καὶ ἦλθεν τὰ πετεινὰ καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτό.
and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the fowls of the heaven did come and devour it;
5 ⸂καὶ ἄλλο ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸ πετρῶδες ⸀ὅπουοὐκ εἶχεν γῆν πολλήν, καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἐξανέτειλεν διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν βάθος γῆς·
and other fell upon the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of not having depth of earth,
6 ⸂καὶ ὅτε ἀνέτειλεν ὁ ἥλιος ⸀ἐκαυματίσθηκαὶ διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ῥίζαν ἐξηράνθη.
and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of not having root it did wither;
7 καὶ ἄλλο ἔπεσεν εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας, καὶ ἀνέβησαν αἱ ἄκανθαι καὶ συνέπνιξαν αὐτό, καὶ καρπὸν οὐκ ἔδωκεν.
and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns did come up, and choke it, and fruit it gave not;
8 καὶ ⸀ἄλλαἔπεσεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν καλήν, καὶ ἐδίδου καρπὸν ἀναβαίνοντα καὶ ⸀αὐξανόμενα καὶ ἔφερεν ⸂ἓν τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑκατόν.
and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it bare, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.'
9 καὶ ἔλεγεν· ⸂Ὃς ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.
And he said to them, 'He who is having ears to hear — let him hear.'
10 ⸂Καὶ ὅτε ἐγένετο κατὰ μόνας, ⸀ἠρώτωναὐτὸν οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν σὺν τοῖς δώδεκα ⸂τὰς παραβολάς.
And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, did ask him of the simile,
11 καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· Ὑμῖν ⸂τὸ μυστήριον δέδοται τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ· ἐκείνοις δὲ τοῖς ἔξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὰ πάντα γίνεται,
and he said to them, 'To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done;
12 ἵνα βλέποντες βλέπωσι καὶ μὴ ἴδωσιν, καὶ ἀκούοντες ἀκούωσι καὶ μὴ συνιῶσιν, μήποτε ἐπιστρέψωσιν καὶ ἀφεθῇ ⸀αὐτοῖς
that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest they may turn, and the sins may be forgiven them.'
13 Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Οὐκ οἴδατε τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην, καὶ πῶς πάσας τὰς παραβολὰς γνώσεσθε;
And he saith to them, 'Have ye not known this simile? and how shall ye know all the similes?
14 ὁ σπείρων τὸν λόγον σπείρει.
He who is sowing doth sow the word;
15 οὗτοι δέ εἰσιν οἱ παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ὅπου σπείρεται ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὅταν ἀκούσωσιν ⸀εὐθὺςἔρχεται ὁ Σατανᾶς καὶ αἴρει τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐσπαρμένον ⸂εἰς αὐτούς.
and these are they by the way where the word is sown: and whenever they may hear, immediately cometh the Adversary, and he taketh away the word that hath been sown in their hearts.
16 καὶ οὗτοί εἰσιν ⸀ὁμοίωςοἱ ἐπὶ τὰ πετρώδη σπειρόμενοι, οἳ ὅταν ἀκούσωσιν τὸν λόγον ⸀εὐθὺςμετὰ χαρᾶς λαμβάνουσιν αὐτόν,
'And these are they, in like manner, who on the rocky ground are sown: who, whenever they may hear the word, immediately with joy do receive it,
17 καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν ῥίζαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἀλλὰ πρόσκαιροί εἰσιν, εἶτα γενομένης θλίψεως ἢ διωγμοῦ διὰ τὸν λόγον ⸀εὐθὺςσκανδαλίζονται.
and have not root in themselves, but are temporary; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are stumbled.
18 καὶ ⸀ἄλλοιεἰσὶν οἱ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπειρόμενοι· ⸂οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ τὸν λόγον ⸀ἀκούσαντες
'And these are they who toward the thorns are sown: these are they who are hearing the word,
19 καὶ αἱ μέριμναι τοῦ ⸀αἰῶνοςκαὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου καὶ αἱ περὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἐπιθυμίαι εἰσπορευόμεναι συμπνίγουσιν τὸν λόγον, καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται. (aiōn g165)
and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 καὶ ⸀ἐκεῖνοίεἰσιν οἱ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τὴν καλὴν σπαρέντες, οἵτινες ἀκούουσιν τὸν λόγον καὶ παραδέχονται καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν ⸂ἓν τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑκατόν.
'And these are they who on the good ground have been sown: who do hear the word, and receive, and do bear fruit, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.'
21 Καὶ ἔλεγεν ⸀αὐτοῖς Μήτι ⸂ἔρχεται ὁ λύχνος ἵνα ὑπὸ τὸν μόδιον τεθῇἢ ὑπὸ τὴν κλίνην, οὐχ ἵνα ἐπὶ τὴν λυχνίαν ⸀τεθῇ;
And he said to them, 'Doth the lamp come that under the measure it may be put, or under the couch — not that it may be put on the lamp-stand?
22 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ⸀κρυπτὸνἐὰν μὴ ⸀ἵναφανερωθῇ, οὐδὲ ἐγένετο ἀπόκρυφον ἀλλʼ ἵνα ⸂ἔλθῃ εἰς φανερόν.
for there is not anything hid that may not be manifested, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light.
23 εἴ τις ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.
If any hath ears to hear — let him hear.'
24 καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· Βλέπετε τί ἀκούετε. ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖνκαὶ προστεθήσεται ⸀ὑμῖν.
And he said to them, 'Take heed what ye hear; in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you; and to you who hear it shall be added;
25 ὃς γὰρ ⸀ἔχει δοθήσεται αὐτῷ· καὶ ὃ οὐκ ἔχει, καὶ ⸀ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever hath not, also that which he hath shall be taken from him.'
26 Καὶ ἔλεγεν· Οὕτως ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ⸀ὡςἄνθρωπος βάλῃ τὸν σπόρον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
And he said, 'Thus is the reign of God: as if a man may cast the seed on the earth,
27 καὶ καθεύδῃ καὶ ἐγείρηται νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν, καὶ ὁ σπόρος ⸀βλαστᾷκαὶ μηκύνηται ὡς οὐκ οἶδεν αὐτός.
and may sleep, and may rise night and day, and the seed spring up and grow, he hath not known how;
28 ⸀αὐτομάτηἡ γῆ καρποφορεῖ, πρῶτον χόρτον, ⸂εἶτα στάχυν, εἶτα ⸂πλήρης σῖτον ἐν τῷ στάχυϊ.
for of itself doth the earth bear fruit, first a blade, afterwards an ear, afterwards full corn in the ear;
29 ὅταν δὲ ⸀παραδοῖὁ καρπός, ⸀εὐθὺςἀποστέλλει τὸ δρέπανον, ὅτι παρέστηκεν ὁ θερισμός.
and whenever the fruit may yield itself, immediately he doth send forth the sickle, because the harvest hath come.'
30 Καὶ ἔλεγεν· ⸀Πῶςὁμοιώσωμεν τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ, ἢ ἐν ⸀τίνι⸂αὐτὴν παραβολῇ θῶμεν;
And he said, 'To what may we liken the reign of God, or in what simile may we compare it?
31 ὡς ⸀κόκκῳσινάπεως, ὃς ὅταν σπαρῇ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ⸂μικρότερον ὂν πάντων τῶν ⸀σπερμάτων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς—
As a grain of mustard, which, whenever it may be sown on the earth, is less than any of the seeds that are on the earth;
32 καὶ ὅταν σπαρῇ, ἀναβαίνει καὶ γίνεται ⸂μεῖζον πάντων τῶν λαχάνων καὶ ποιεῖ κλάδους μεγάλους, ὥστε δύνασθαι ὑπὸ τὴν σκιὰν αὐτοῦ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνοῦν.
and whenever it may be sown, it cometh up, and doth become greater than any of the herbs, and doth make great branches, so that under its shade the fowls of the heaven are able to rest.'
33 Καὶ τοιαύταις παραβολαῖς πολλαῖς ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον, καθὼς ἠδύναντο ἀκούειν·
And with many such similes he was speaking to them the word, as they were able to hear,
34 χωρὶς δὲ παραβολῆς οὐκ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς, κατʼ ἰδίαν δὲ τοῖς ⸂ἰδίοις μαθηταῖς ἐπέλυεν πάντα.
and without a simile he was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to his disciples he was expounding all.
35 Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὀψίας γενομένης· Διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν.
And he saith to them on that day, evening having come, 'We may pass over to the other side;'
36 καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν ὄχλον παραλαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν ὡς ἦν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ, καὶ ἄλλα ⸀πλοῖαἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
and having let away the multitude, they take him up as he was in the boat, and other little boats also were with him.
37 καὶ γίνεται λαῖλαψ ⸂μεγάλη ἀνέμου, ⸂καὶ τὰ κύματα ἐπέβαλλεν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, ὥστε ⸂ἤδη γεμίζεσθαι τὸ πλοῖον.
And there cometh a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled,
38 καὶ ⸂αὐτὸς ἦν ⸀ἐντῇ πρύμνῃ ἐπὶ τὸ προσκεφάλαιον καθεύδων· καὶ ⸀ἐγείρουσιναὐτὸν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Διδάσκαλε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα;
and he himself was upon the stern, upon the pillow sleeping, and they wake him up, and say to him, 'Teacher, art thou not caring that we perish?'
39 καὶ διεγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θαλάσσῃ· Σιώπα, πεφίμωσο. καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη.
And having waked up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be stilled;' and the wind did lull, and there was a great calm:
40 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Τί δειλοί ἐστε; ⸀οὔπωἔχετε πίστιν;
and he said to them, 'Why are ye so fearful? how have ye not faith?'
41 καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν φόβον μέγαν, καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἀλλήλους· Τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν ὅτι καὶ ὁ ἄνεμος καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ⸀ὑπακούειαὐτῷ;
and they feared a great fear, and said one to another, 'Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?'
