uMarko 4
1 Hangi ai wandilye kumanyisa mu mpelompelo a luzi. Ni iumbi ikulu likilundiila likamupilimikiilya, akingila mukati i ilinga mu luzi, nu kikie. Iumbi lihi nai likoli mu mpelo a luzi mu nshemba.
And again he began to teach by the sea side; and a great multitude was gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a ship, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude was upon the land by the sea side.
2 Hangi aka amanyisa makani idu ku mpyani, hangi akaligitya kitalao ku umanyisa nuakwe.
And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his doctrine:
3 Tegeelyi, mutemeli ai ulongoe kutemela.
Hear ye: Behold, the sower went out to sow.
4 Nai wakatula ukutemela, ing'wi nia mbeu ai igwie mu nzila, ni nyunyi ikapembya ikailya.
And whilst he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up.
5 Mbeu i nzuya ai igwie mu matalagwe, naiza kutili ni mahalu idu. Itungo ikanyala, ku nsoko ai ngila anga mahalu nakondaniie.
And other some fell upon stony ground, where it had not much earth; and it shot up immediately, because it had no depth of earth.
6 Kuiti i lyoa nai litolokile, ai inyaile, ku nsoko ai ngila anga mili, ikuma.
And when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Mbeu inzuya ai igwie pakati a mija. iMija ikakula nu kuitunyiilya, hangi shanga ikapa inkali yihi.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Mbeu i nzuya ai igwie mu mahalu ni maza hangi ai ipee i nkali itungo nai yukukula nu kungeeleka, inzuya ai ipee nkua makumi ataatu ikilo, ni nzuya makumi mutandaatu, ni nzuya igana.”
And some fell upon good ground; and brought forth fruit that grew up, and increased and yielded, one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred.
9 Hangi wakaligitya, “Wihi nukete i akutwi ni akija, nu ije!”
And he said: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 uYesu nai wakatula wing'wene, awo nai akoli pakupi nu ng'wenso nawo ni ikumi na abiili ai amukoiye kutula i mpyani.
And when he was alone, the twelve that were with him asked him the parable.
11 Akaligitya kitalao, “Kitalanyu minkiigwe kinkunku nika utemi nuang'wa Itunda. Kuiti ku niakoli kunzi kila i kintu ingi mpyani,
And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are done in parables:
12 iti anga agoze, uu igoza, kuiti shanga ihenga, hangi ku lulo niakija uu ijaa, kuiti shanga ilinga, anga ize shanga uu aza azee mupiluka Itunda ai uzee alekela.”
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 Hangi akaligiya kitalao, “Itii shanga mulingile i mpyani iyi? Mukuhuma uli kulinga i mpyani ni ingiiza?
And he saith to them: Are you ignorant of this parable? and how shall you know all parables?
14 Mutemeli ai utemee lukani.
He that soweth, soweth the word.
15 Ing'wi ingi awo nai agwie mu mpelo a anzila, kianza u lukani naza lutemewe. Hangi nai igulye, itungo u Mulugu akapembya nu kuluhola u lukani naiza lutemewe mukati ao.
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown, and as soon as they have heard, immediately Satan cometh and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 Hani ang'wi ao ingi awo nai atemewe migulya amatalagwe, naza, nai igulye u lukani, ku ukau akulusingiilya ku ulowa.
And these likewise are they that are sown on the stony ground: who when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
17 Hnagi agila imili ihi mukati ao, kuiti igimya ku itungo ikupi. Halafu lwago nu wagigwa ni ipembilye ku nsoko a lukani, itungo ikumpyaa.
And they have no root in themselves, but are only for a time: and then when tribulation and persecution ariseth for the word they are presently scandalized.
18 Hangi ang'wi ingi awo nai atemewe mu mija. Akulija u lukani.
And others there are who are sown among thorns: these are they that hear the word,
19 Kuiti unyong'wa nu ihi. ukongelwa nua nsao, ni nsula a makani mangiiza, wi ingiila nu kulutunyiilya u lukani, nu kuleng'wa kupaa inkali. (aiōn g165)
And the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts after other things entering in choke the word, and it is made fruitless. (aiōn g165)
20 Uugwa akoli awo naza atemewe mu mahalu ni maza. Akulija u lukani nu kulusingiilya nu kupa i nkali; ang'wi makumi ataatu, hangi ang'wi makumi mutandatu, hangi ang'wi igana ling'wi.”
And these are they who are sown upon the good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and yield fruit, the one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred.
21 uYesu aka atambuila, “Itii iiza wileta u lumuli mukati ito nu kuluika pihi a nkapu, ang'wi pihi a ulili? Wiluletaa mukati nu kuluika migulya a ishupaka.
And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 Ku nsoko kutili kihi nikipihile naiza shanga kiku kumuka, hangi kutili i kinkunku naiza shanga kikuikwa kihenga.
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad.
23 Anga ize ukoli nukete i akutwi a kija, nu ije!”
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 Aka atambuila, “Tuli miakendegeeli ku iko ni mukukija, ku nsoko u ugemeelya ni mukugemeelya, kiko ni mukagemeeligwa, hangi kikongeligwa kitalanyu.
And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you.
25 Ku nsoko nuanso nukete, ukinkiiligwa ikilo, hangi uyo nimugila, kupuma kitalakwe ikuholwa ga nizo nuikete.”
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him.
26 Hangi akaligitya, “Utemi nuang'wa Itunda wimpyanigwe nu muntu nai utemee i mbeu mu mahalu.
And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the earth,
27 Nai wakalala u utiku nu kuuka i kidaudau, ni mbeu ikaheluka nu kukula, Ga ni uu shanga ulingile nai ipumie.
And should sleep, and rise, night and day, and the seed should spring, and grow up whilst he knoweth not.
28 Ihi ipumyaa i mbeu nkola; hanza matutu, alafu ulua, alafu mbeu niakagupaa.
For the earth of itself bringeth forth fruit, first the blade, then the ear, afterwards the full corn in the ear.
29 Hangi itungo imbeu ni ikatula ailyaa itungo witwalaa uzolo, ku nsoko i maogola apikiila.”
And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 Hangi akaligitya, “kuimpyanie u utemi nuang'wa itunda ni kintu kii, ang'wi kutumile mpyani kii ku uganula?
And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it?
31 Ingi anga i mbeu a haradali, naiza ai itemewe ingi niino nangaluu kukila i mbeu yihi mihi.
It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth:
32 Ga, ni itungo naza itemewe, ikukula nu kutula nkulu ikilo nila mimea ihi mu shuli, hangi izipyaa ntaambi nkulu, ga ni nyunyi nia kilunde ihumaa kuzipya iuyi niao mu mululi nuakwe.”
And when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may dwell under the shadow thereof.
33 Ku mpyani idu ai umanyisilye hangi ai uligitilye u lukani kitalao, ku upikiilo nai uhumile kulinga,
And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according as they were able to hear.
34 hangi shanga ai uligitilye ni enso bila mpyani. Kuiti itungo nai wakatula wing'wene duu, aka aganuila kila i kintu i amanyisigwa akwe.
And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he explained all things to his disciples.
35 Mu luhiku nulanso, itungo nila mpindi nai lipikiie, akaligitya kitalao, “Kweni i nkika a kabiili.”
And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass over to the other side.
36 Iti gwa akalileka i umbi, akamuhola uYesu, itungo nilanso yakondaa ai watula mukati ilinga. Malinga mauya ai atulaa palung'wi nu ng'wenso.
And sending away the multitude, they take him even as he was in the ship: and there were other ships with him.
37 Nu ng'wega utaki nua kimpupu ni maingu ai atulaa akingila mukati a mulinga nu mulinga ai wakondyaa kutula wizula.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that the ship was filled.
38 Kuiti uYesu mukola ai ukoli mu shetri, ulae mu muto. Akamutambuila, azeligitya, “Ng'walimu, shanga ulingile kina usese kuusha?”
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth it not concern thee that we perish?
39 Hangi akauka, akaukenela u ng'wega nu kuluila u luzi, “Itule ihi twii, ulyuuku.” Ung'wega ukapela, hangi ai ituile nu ulyuuku ukulu.
And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm.
40 Hangi akaligitya kitalao, “Ku niki mukitumba? Itii mukili miagila u uhuiili?”
And he said to them: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet?
41 Akizuilwa nu woa ukulu mukati ao hangi akitambulya enso ku enso, “Uyu ingi nyenyu hangi, ku nsoko ga nu ng'wega nu luzi ikumugombya.”
And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this (thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey him?
