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 seaside. And a large crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. And the whole crowd was on the land by the sea.
2 Hangi aka amanyisa makani idu ku mpyani, hangi akaligitya kitalao ku umanyisa nuakwe.
And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 Tegeelyi, mutemeli ai ulongoe kutemela.
"Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
4 Nai wakatula ukutemela, ing'wi nia mbeu ai igwie mu nzila, ni nyunyi ikapembya ikailya.
And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Mbeu i nzuya ai igwie mu matalagwe, naiza kutili ni mahalu idu. Itungo ikanyala, ku nsoko ai ngila anga mahalu nakondaniie.
And others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Kuiti i lyoa nai litolokile, ai inyaile, ku nsoko ai ngila anga mili, ikuma.
And when the sun came up, 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 others fell among the 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 others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth thirty times, and sixty times, and one hundred times."
9 Hangi wakaligitya, “Wihi nukete i akutwi ni akija, nu ije!”
And he said, "Whoever has 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, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
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 has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, 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 perhaps they should turn and be forgiven.'"
13 Hangi akaligiya kitalao, “Itii shanga mulingile i mpyani iyi? Mukuhuma uli kulinga i mpyani ni ingiiza?
And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
14 Mutemeli ai utemee lukani.
The farmer sows 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 the ones by the road 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 Hani ang'wi ao ingi awo nai atemewe migulya amatalagwe, naza, nai igulye u lukani, ku ukau akulusingiilya ku ulowa.
And these in a similar way are those who are sown on the rocky places, 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 short-lived. Then, when oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 Hangi ang'wi ingi awo nai atemewe mu mija. Akulija u lukani.
And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard 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 age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (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 those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
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, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not put on a stand?
22 Ku nsoko kutili kihi nikipihile naiza shanga kiku kumuka, hangi kutili i kinkunku naiza shanga kikuikwa kihenga.
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 Anga ize ukoli nukete i akutwi a kija, nu ije!”
If anyone has 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, "Consider carefully what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.
25 Ku nsoko nuanso nukete, ukinkiiligwa ikilo, hangi uyo nimugila, kupuma kitalakwe ikuholwa ga nizo nuikete.”
For whoever has, more will be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
26 Hangi akaligitya, “Utemi nuang'wa Itunda wimpyanigwe nu muntu nai utemee i mbeu mu mahalu.
And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
27 Nai wakalala u utiku nu kuuka i kidaudau, ni mbeu ikaheluka nu kukula, Ga ni uu shanga ulingile nai ipumie.
and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
28 Ihi ipumyaa i mbeu nkola; hanza matutu, alafu ulua, alafu mbeu niakagupaa.
The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Hangi itungo imbeu ni ikatula ailyaa itungo witwalaa uzolo, ku nsoko i maogola apikiila.”
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has 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 will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
31 Ingi anga i mbeu a haradali, naiza ai itemewe ingi niino nangaluu kukila i mbeu yihi mihi.
It's like a mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the soil, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
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, grows up, and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."
33 Ku mpyani idu ai umanyisilye hangi ai uligitilye u lukani kitalao, ku upikiilo nai uhumile kulinga,
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
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 he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Mu luhiku nulanso, itungo nila mpindi nai lipikiie, akaligitya kitalao, “Kweni i nkika a kabiili.”
And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go 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 leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
37 Nu ng'wega utaki nua kimpupu ni maingu ai atulaa akingila mukati a mulinga nu mulinga ai wakondyaa kutula wizula.
And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 Kuiti uYesu mukola ai ukoli mu shetri, ulae mu muto. Akamutambuila, azeligitya, “Ng'walimu, shanga ulingile kina usese kuusha?”
And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are dying?"
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 he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace. Be still." And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Hangi akaligitya kitalao, “Ku niki mukitumba? Itii mukili miagila u uhuiili?”
And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
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 were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
