Maki 4
1 Mago'ene Jisasi'a rantiru'mofo ankenare mani'neno naneke erigafa huno rempi huzami'ne. Ana nehige'za tusi'a vahe krerfamo'za regorave hazageno, Jisasi'a votifi marerino mani'nege'za, tusi'a vahe krerfamo'za tiru ankenarega mani'naze.
Jesus began teaching beside the Sea again. So many people came to listen to him that he climbed into a boat and sat in it on the water while the crowd listened from the shore.
2 Ana nehuno agra rama'a fronka ke zamasami'ne. Rempima huzamifina, anage hu'ne,
He illustrated his teachings using many stories.
3 Kama antahiho! Hoza ne'mo avimaza ruraniku hozarega vu'ne.
“Listen,” he said. “A sower went out to sow.
4 Ana'ma huno ome runeranigeno, mago'a avimzamo'a kamofo ankinafi evuramigeno, namamo'za eme ne'naze.
Now as he was scattering the seeds, some fell on the path, and birds came and ate them up.
5 Mago'a avimaza avimo'a havege huno rama'a mopa omanenefi evuramiteno ame huno hagene. Na'ankure havege huno osia mopa me'negeno'e.
Other seeds fell on stony ground where there wasn't much earth. In the shallow soil the plants started growing quickly, but because the soil wasn't deep
6 Hagi zagemo'a hanatino teosaparene, na'ankure rafu'namo'a fempina uorami'negeno osapare'ne.
they were scorched when the sun came up. Since they didn't have any real roots, they soon withered.
7 Mago'a avimaza avimo'a ave'ave trazampi evuramigeno, aveave trazamo'a hageno, rentrako higeno raga'a reonte'ne.
Other seeds fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked the sprouting seeds, so they produced nothing.
8 Hu'neanagi mago'a avimzamo'a tima'ane mopafi evuramiteno hageno raga'a rente'ne. Mago'amo'a 30'a rentegeno, mago'amo'a 60'a rentegeno, mago'amo'a 100'a rente'ne.
Other seeds fell on good soil where they sprouted and grew. They produced a harvest of some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times what was planted.
9 Ana nehuno anage hu'ne, Izano agesa me'nenigeno nentahisimofona, atregeno ama kea antahise hino.
If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying.”
10 Hagi anama huteno Jisasi'ma Agrake'ma umani'nege'za, mago'a manigagi'naza vahe'mo'zane, 12fu'a amage'ma nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za, ana fronka keramimofo agafa'a antahise hunaku antahige'naze.
When he was by himself, his twelve disciples and the others who were with him asked him what the illustrations meant.
11 Jisasi'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Anumzamofo kumamofo oku'a antahintahia tamagrira ko tamine. Hianagi megi'ama mani'naza vahe'mo'za fronka kege nentahize.
He told them, “The mystery of God's kingdom has been given to you to understand. But outsiders only have the stories,
12 Ana higu Avontafepina anage hu'ne, kegahazanagi keama osugahaze. Antahigahazanagi antahi amara osugahaze. Zamagra aru zmagu'a rukrahe hanageno Anumzamo kumizimi eri atrezankure anara hugahie. (Ais 6:9-10)
so that even though they see, they don't really ‘see,’ and even though they hear, they don't understand, otherwise they might turn to me and be forgiven.”
13 Anante Jisasi'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Ama fronka kemofo agafa'a antahi ama'ma osanutma, inankna hutma mika fronka kemofo agafa'a antahi amara hugahaze?
“Don't you understand this story?” Jesus asked them. “If you can't, how are you going to understand all the other stories?
14 Avimaza rurani'nea ne'mo'a, Anumzamofo ke ome krine.
The sower sows the word.
15 Mago'a avimazama kamofo ankinarega evurami'neana, mago'a vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kea nentahizageno, Sata'a ame huno zamagu'afima krinea kea eritrene.
The seeds on the path where the word is sown illustrate those who hear the message, but then Satan immediately comes along and takes away the word that's been sown in them.
16 Havege mopafima rurani'neana, Anumzamofo kema nentahi'za, muse hu'za ame hu'za eneri'ze.
Likewise the seeds on the rocky ground illustrate those who hear the word, and happily accept it right away.
17 Hianagi zamagu'afina rafuna ore'neza oti hanave oti'nazankiza, anante'ma Anumzamofo kegu hu'za hazenke zano, zamazeri haviza huzama fore hige'za, ame hu'za atre'za nevaze.
But since they have no real roots, they only last for a while until trouble or persecution comes, and then they quickly fall away.
18 Mago'amo'za ave'ave trazampi avimaza ruranineankna hu'naze. Anamo'za Anumzamofo kea antahinazanagi,
Those sown among the thorns illustrate those who hear the word,
19 mopafi zankuke zamagesa nentahi'za, zago afu fenoma eri atruma huzamo rezmatga nehuno, mago'azama zamesinte'zamo zamagu'afina efreno Anumzamofo nanekea rentrako higeno ne'za raga'a renonte. (aiōn g165)
but worries of this world, the temptation of wealth, and other distractions choke the growth of the word, and it becomes unproductive. (aiōn g165)
20 Hianagi tima'ane mopafi rurani'nea avimazana, zamagra Anumzamofo kea antahi ankere'za, ana kea e'neri'za nena raga'a renentaze. Mago'mo'a 30'a rentegeno, mago'mo'a 60'a rentegeno, mago'mo'a 100'a renente.
But the seeds sown on good soil illustrate those who hear the word, accept it, and are productive—producing thirty, sixty, and hundred times what was originally sown.
21 Jisasi'a amanage huno mago'ane zamasmi'ne, Rampe tavi'ma rekruma hazana, sipagampi ome nentafi, kavo agu'afinka ome nentazo? A'o anara nosaze. Rekru hutma tavima rekru hunte azotare ome nentaze.
Who puts a lamp under a bucket, or beneath a bed?” Jesus asked them. “No, you put a lamp up on a lamp-stand.
22 Na'ankure miko'zama fra'ma ki'nesiazamo'a, eama nehanigeno, oku'a me'nesiazamo'a, masare eama hugahie.
Everything that is hidden will be revealed, and everything that is secret will be brought out into the open.
23 Izano agesa me'nenigeno nentahisimofona, atregeno ama kea antahise hino.
If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying!
24 Mago'ane anage huno zamasmi'ne, Kema nentahizana antahi so'e hiho. Tamagrama amisaza avamente, ana avamente tamagrira neramamino, mago'ane agofetu huno tamamigahie.
Pay attention to what you're hearing,” he told them, “for you will be given according to how much you want to receive, measure for measure.
25 Na'ankure iza'o eri'nenimofona mago'ene agofetu huno amigahie. Hagi iza'o e'orinesimofona, osiama eri'nenia zana eritre vagaregahie.
More will be given to those who already have understanding, but those who don't want to know will have what little understanding they have taken from them.
26 Hagi Jisasi'a mago'ane anage hu'ne, Anumzamofo kumamo'a, mago vahe'mo avimza avi mopafi ruranino kriankna hu'ne.
God's kingdom is like a man sowing seed in the ground,” Jesus said.
27 Kriteno umasenegeno feru ene kenage'enena hageno, ana avimza avimo'a ru hanana huno hagegeno, anama hageana nankna huno hage'neo agra ontahine.
“He goes to bed and gets up, day after day, but the man has no knowledge of how the seeds sprout and grow.
28 Mopamo'a agra'a azerinena higeno ne'zama'a rente'ne, esera asina reno rampa'a fore huteno, anante amosare aheno, ramparera ne'zana rente avinete.
The earth produces a harvest by itself. First a shoot appears, then the heads of grain, and then the heads of grain ripen.
29 Anantera raga'a renteno nena hutegeno, agena kazaki kazinteti eme taga hu'ne. Na'ankure hozama hamarekna egeno'e.
When the grain is ripe, the farmer reaps it with a sickle, because the harvest is ready.
30 Hagi Jisasi'a mago'ane anage huno zamantahige'ne, Inankna ke hunteta Anumzamofo kumakura hugahune. Inankna fronka ke hunteta eriama hugahune?
What can we compare God's kingdom to? What illustration shall we use?” he asked.
31 Masteti raga'agna hunege'za mopafi negrize, ama mopafima me'nea avimzana agatereno onensatfa hu'ne.
“It's like a mustard seed, the tiniest seed of all.
32 Hagi kritageno'a hageno nena huno, maka hozafima me'nea ne'zana ra huno agetenereno, rama'a azankuna'a hageno vuno eno higeno, maka afi' namamo'za ana zafamofo tonapi nona eme kigahaze.
But when it's sown it grows into a plant that's larger than other plants. It has branches big enough that birds can roost in its shade.”
33 Ana nehuno rama'a fronka kefinti zamagrama antahi ama' hanaza avamente zamasami'ne.
Jesus used many of these illustrated stories when he spoke to the people so they would understand as much as they could.
34 Agra mago'a kema hunakura fronka kefintike zamasmi'ne. Ana hu'neanagi amage'ma nentaza disaipol nagamo'zama zamagrake'ma mani'nageno, eriama huno maka'zana zamasami'ne.
In fact, when he spoke publicly, he only used stories; however in private he explained everything to his disciples.
35 Hagi ananzupa kinagasegeno Jisasi'a amage nentaza disaipol naga'agura anage hu'ne, Erinketa kantu kaziga tinkenare vamneno huno hige'za,
Later that day, in the evening, he said to his disciples, “Let's go across to the other side of the Sea.”
36 vahe krerfa zamatrete'za Jisasi'ma mani'nea votifi mareri'za vazageno, mago'a ventea zamagrane vu'naze.
Leaving the crowd behind, the disciples went with Jesus and got into a boat. Other boats went with them.
37 Nevazageno tusi'a ununko atuno, tina erikranto kranto nehuno, ana votifi timo'a marevite'za higeno, timpi votimo'a tami'za hu'ne.
Soon a terrible storm started blowing, and waves crashed against the boat, filling it with water.
38 Hagi Jisasi'a votimofona arigarega fita runo mase'negeza, azeri oti'za anage Agrikura hu'naze. Rempi hurami ne'moka, timo'ma tazeri nakri'za nehiana nonkano?
Jesus was asleep in the stern, resting his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting at him, “Teacher, don't you care that we're about to drown?”
39 Anante otino zaho'mofona kesuno, Tami avazago huno timofona higeno, akoheno urami avazagene.
Jesus woke up. He told the wind to die down and told the waves, “Be quiet! Be still.” The wind stopped, and the water became completely calm.
40 Ana higeno Jisasi'a anage huno zmantahige'ne, Nahigetma amanahu huta koro nehaze? Tamentintia nosazo?
“Why are you so frightened? Haven't you learned to trust me?” he asked them.
41 Ana nehige'za zamagra tusi'a zamagogo fege'za, inankna ne'mo kea nehigeno zahomo'ene timokea ke'a antahinezmi'e hu'za hu'naze.
They were stunned and terrified. They asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
