Marcos 4
1 Junmul chik ri Jesús xuchapleꞌj uyaꞌik kꞌutuꞌn chuchiꞌ ri plo. Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xkimulij kibꞌ chutayik ri kꞌutuꞌn rumal riꞌ xaqꞌan ri Jesús pa jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ. Konojel ri winaq xekꞌojiꞌ chuchiꞌ ri plo.
Once more He began to teach by the side of the Lake, and a vast multitude of people came together to listen to Him. He therefore went on board the boat and sat there, a little way from the land; and all the people were on the shore close to the water.
2 Xuchapleꞌj ukꞌutik sibꞌalaj kꞌi jastaq rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj jewaꞌ xubꞌij:
Then He proceeded to teach them many lessons in figurative language; and in His teaching He said,
3 ¡Chitampeꞌ! Jun ajtikolobꞌ xeꞌ pa tikoꞌnijik.
"Listen: the sower goes out to sow.
4 Are xuchikoj ri ijaꞌ, nikꞌaj xqaj chuchiꞌ ri bꞌe, xoꞌpan ri chochiꞌ xkitijo.
As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up.
5 Nikꞌaj ijaꞌ chik xqaj chuxoꞌl ri abꞌaj, jawjeꞌ man nim taj ulew kꞌolik. Aninaq xkꞌiy loq ri tikoꞌn rumal man naj taj qajinaq ri ulew.
Some falls on the rocky ground where it finds but little earth, and it shoots up quickly because it has no depth of soil;
6 Are xel loq ri qꞌij, xechaqiꞌjar ri tikoꞌn rumal man naj taj qajinaq ri ukꞌaꞌmal pa ri ulew.
but when the sun is risen, it is scorched, and through having no root it withers away.
7 Nikꞌaj ijaꞌ chik xqaj chuxoꞌl ri kꞌix, are xekꞌiy loq xejiqꞌ chuxoꞌl ri kꞌix, man xewachin taj.
Some, again, falls among the thorns; and the thorns spring up and stifle it, so that it yields no crop.
8 Ri nikꞌaj ijaꞌ chik xeqaj pa ri utz ulew. Are xkꞌiy loq, xenimaꞌqirik, xewachinik e jujun xkiya juwinaq lajuj, e nikꞌaj oxkꞌal e nikꞌaj chik jun ciento.
But some of the seed falls into good ground, and gives a return: it comes up and increases, and yields thirty, sixty, or a hundred-fold."
9 Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús: Ri kꞌo uxikin chutatabꞌexik, chutatabꞌej.
"Listen," He added, "every one who has ears to listen with!"
10 Are xebꞌe konojel ri winaq, xeqet ri kabꞌlajuj utijoxelabꞌ rukꞌ ri Jesús, xkita che jas ubꞌanik ri kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj.
When He was alone, the Twelve and the others who were about Him requested Him to explain His figurative language.
11 Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Yaꞌtal chiꞌwe ix kiwetaꞌmaj ri ajawarem rech ri Dios; are kꞌu ri man e qachiꞌl taj rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj kinbꞌij chike.
"To you," He replied, "has been entrusted the secret truth concerning the Kingdom of God; but to those others outside your number all this is spoken in figurative language;
12 Jeriꞌ rumal cher pune kekaꞌyik man kakichꞌobꞌ taj ri kakilo, pune kakito man kakichꞌobꞌ taj ri kakitatabꞌej. Rech man kakikꞌex taj kikꞌuꞌx xuqujeꞌ man kekuyutaj taj.
that "'They may look and look but not see, and listen and listen but not understand, lest perchance they should return and be pardoned.'"
13 ¿Man kichomaj taj we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ? Man kixkwin ta bꞌa ri kichomaj ronojel ri nikꞌaj chik.
"Do you all miss the meaning of this parable?" He added; "how then will you understand the rest of my parables?"
14 Ri ajtikolobꞌ kutik ri utzij ri Dios.
"What the sower sows is the Message.
15 E kꞌo winaq kejunumataj rukꞌ ri ulew ri kꞌo chuchiꞌ ri bꞌe. Are katatabꞌetaj ri tzij kumal kape ri itzel karesaj pa kanimaꞌ.
Those who receive the seed by the way-side are those in whom the Message is sown, but, when they have heard it, Satan comes at once and carries away the Message sown in them.
16 E jujun chik kejunumataj rukꞌ ri abꞌaj ulew. Sibꞌalaj kekiꞌkotik are kakitatabꞌej ri tzij.
In the same way those who receive the seed on the rocky places are those who, when they have heard the Message, at once accept it joyfully,
17 Man katikiꞌ ta kꞌu ri tzij pa kanimaꞌ, man naj taj kuqꞌiꞌo. Are kape kꞌaxkꞌolal, o kabꞌan kꞌax chike xa rumal ri utz laj tzij, kakijelechꞌuj kanoq kibꞌe.
but they have no root within them. They last for a time; then, when suffering or persecution comes because of the Message, they are immediately overthrown.
18 E nikꞌaj chik kejunumataj rukꞌ ri kꞌix ulew: kakitatabꞌej ri tzij.
Others there are who receive the seed among the thorns: these are they who have heard the Message,
19 Are kꞌu ri kirajawaxik rech we kꞌaslemal rech uwachulew, ri subꞌunik, xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌinomal, itzel taq rayinik, kakijiqꞌisaj ri utz laj tzij, man kawachin taj. (aiōn g165)
but worldly cares and the deceitfulness of wealth and the excessive pursuit of other objects come in and stifle the Message, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Nikꞌaj chik kejunumataj rukꞌ ri utz ulew. Kakitatabꞌej ri tzij, kakikꞌamawaꞌj pa kanimaꞌ, kewachinik kakiya juwinaq lajuj, kakiya oxkꞌal, kakiya jun ciento kiwach.
Those, on the other hand, who have received the seed on the good ground, are all who hear the Message and welcome it, and yield a return of thirty, sixty, or a hundred fold."
21 Xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ ri Jesús chike: ¿La katzij jun lámpara kꞌa te riꞌ kaya chuxeꞌ jun chꞌat o chuxeꞌ jun cajon? ¿La man xa kaya pa jun kꞌolibꞌal chikaj rech katunanik?
He went on to say, "Is the lamp brought in in order to be put under the bushel or under the bed? Is it not rather in order that it may be placed on the lampstand?
22 Maj jun jastaq awatalik ri mat kariqitaj na, xuqujeꞌ maj jun jastaq ri xaq pa awal bꞌiꞌtalik ri mat ketaꞌmataj na.
Why, there is nothing hidden except with a view to its being ultimately disclosed, nor has anything been made a secret but that it may at last come to light.
23 Ri kꞌo uxikin chutatabꞌexik, chutatabꞌej.
Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
24 Ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ xubꞌij: Chichajij iwibꞌ che ri kito. Rukꞌ ri pajbꞌal ri kixpajanik, rukꞌ riꞌ kapaj na ri jastaq iwe, kayaꞌtaj ne na uwiꞌ.
He also said to them, "Take care what you hear. With what measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and that with interest.
25 Ri kꞌo rukꞌ kayaꞌtaj nim che, are kꞌu ri maj kꞌo rukꞌ kamaj na che ri nitzꞌ ri kꞌo rukꞌ.
For those who have will have more given them; and from those who have not, even what they have will be taken away."
26 Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Ri ajawarem rech ri Dios kajunumataj rukꞌ ri ajtikolobꞌ ri kuchikoj ri ijaꞌ pa ri ulew.
Another saying of His was this: "The Kingdom of God is as if a man scattered seed over the ground:
27 Ri ajtikolobꞌ pune kawarik o man kawar taj, ri ijaꞌ chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ tajin kakꞌiyik. Pune jeriꞌ man retaꞌm ta kꞌut jas kubꞌan ri ijaꞌ che ukꞌiyem.
he spends days and nights, now awake, now asleep, while the seed sprouts and grows tall, he knows not how.
28 Ri ijaꞌ kawachinik pa utukel: nabꞌe katuxar loq, kꞌa te riꞌ kakꞌiy loq ri ujolom, kꞌisbꞌal rech kakꞌiy loq ri uwach.
Of itself the land produces the crop-- first the blade, then the ear; afterwards the perfect grain is seen in the ear.
29 Are kutzir ri tikoꞌn, kaqꞌatik, rumal cher xopan ri qꞌij rech yakoj.
But no sooner is the crop ripe, than he sends the reapers, because the time of harvest has come."
30 Xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ ri Jesús: ¿Jas rukꞌ kaqajunamaj wi ri ajawarem rech ri Dios? ¿Jas kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj kaqakoj chutzijoxik rij?
Another saying of His was this: "How are we to picture the Kingdom of God? or by what figure of speech shall we represent it?
31 Kajunumataj rukꞌ jun uwach moxtansia. Nitzꞌ chikiwach konojel ri ijaꞌ are katikik.
It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the earth, is the smallest of all the seeds in the world;
32 Are kakꞌiy loq sibꞌalaj nim keꞌek, kux jun nimalaj cheꞌ chikiwach ri nikꞌaj e tikoꞌn chik. Nimaꞌq kebꞌe ri uqꞌabꞌ, chilaꞌ kakibꞌan wi kisok ri aꞌwaj ri kerapinik.
yet when sown it springs up and becomes larger than all the herbs, and throws out great branches, so that the birds build under its shadow."
33 Rukꞌ jaljoj kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj xuya uchꞌobꞌik ri Jesús ri kꞌutuꞌn chike ri winaq. Jas na kꞌu ri xkwin ri kichomabꞌal chuchꞌobꞌik.
With many such parables He used to speak the Message to them according to their capacity for receiving it.
34 Rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj xubꞌij chike ri winaq ronojel ri jastaq. Are xaq xwi ri utijoxelabꞌ e kꞌo rukꞌ, xubꞌij chike jas jeꞌ kel kubꞌij ri kꞌambꞌejabꞌal taq noꞌj.
But except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them; while to His own disciples He expounded everything, in private.
35 Chaqꞌabꞌ che ri qꞌij riꞌ xubꞌij ri Jesús chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: Chujqꞌax chꞌaqaꞌp.
The same day, in the evening, He said to them, "Let us cross to the other side."
36 Ri tijoxelabꞌ xeꞌl bꞌik kukꞌ ri winaq, xebꞌek rukꞌ ri Jesús pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ, e kꞌo chi nikꞌaj winaq xaqꞌan bꞌik pa nikꞌaj taq jukubꞌ chik, xebꞌe kukꞌ.
So they got away from the crowd, and took Him--as He was--in the boat; and other boats accompanied Him.
37 Are e kꞌo chi puꞌwiꞌ ri plo, xwaꞌjil aqꞌanoq jun nimalaj kyaqiqꞌal jabꞌ, ri jaꞌ xuchapleꞌj okem pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal karaj kasach kanoq chuxeꞌ ri plo.
But a heavy squall came on, and the waves were now dashing into the boat, so that it was fast filling.
38 Ri Jesús tajin kawarik pa ri kꞌisbꞌal tꞌuyulibꞌal ri kꞌo pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal, ri e tijoxelabꞌ aninaq xkikꞌasuj xkibꞌij che: ¡Ajtij! ¿la man kil la chi raj kujkamik?
But He Himself was in the stern asleep, with His head on the cushion: so they woke Him. "Rabbi," they cried, "is it nothing to you that we are drowning?"
39 Xwaꞌjilik ri Jesús, xuyaj ri kyaqiqꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij che ri plo: Chatuxlanoq. Ri plo xjoriꞌk xuta chꞌabꞌexik.
So He roused Himself and rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, "Silence! Be still!" The wind sank, and a perfect calm set in.
40 Ri Jesús xuta chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: ¿Jas che sibꞌalaj kixiꞌj iwibꞌ? ¿Maj ikojobꞌal?
"Why are you so timid?" He asked; "have you still no faith?"
41 Ri tijoxelabꞌ sibꞌalaj xkixiꞌj kibꞌ kakibꞌij chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿Jachin we achi riꞌ, ri plo rachiꞌl ri kyaqiqꞌ keniman che?
Then they were filled with terror, and began to say to one another, "Who is this, then? For even wind and sea obey Him."
