Mareka 4
1 Hape natanga kuruta kumbali yewate. Mi buungi bwachisi nibwakungana kumuzibuluka, linu nechila chikepe mwiwate, ni kwikala hansi. Chisi chonse chibena kumbali yewate hamutunda.
And hee began againe to teache by the sea side, and there gathered vnto him a great multitude, so that hee entred into a shippe, and sate in the sea, and all the people was by the sea side on the land.
2 Mi chabaruta zintu zingi muunguli, mi nati kubali muntuto yakwe,
And he taught them many things in parables, and said vnto them in his doctrine,
3 “Mutekeleze, mulimi abayendi kukubyala imbuto yakwe.
Hearken: Beholde, there went out a sower to sowe.
4 Choya bubyala, imwi imbuto niyawila munzila, imi zizuni nizeza kuitotola.
And it came to passe as he sowed, that some fell by the way side, and the foules of the heauen came, and deuoured it vp.
5 Imwi imbuto niyawila mwibu lyamabwe, muisena ibabi ni ibu lingi. Hohwaho bulyo chiya mena, mukuti kena ibena ibu liya hansi.
And some fell on stonie grounde, where it had not much earth, and by and by sprang vp, because it had not depth of earth.
6 Kono izuba haliñatula, chizahiswa, mi chebaka lyakuti kanazibena muhisi, ziba zumi.
But assoone as ye Sunne was vp, it was burnt vp, and because it had not roote, it withered away.
7 Imwi imbuto niyawila muzisamu zamiiya. Zisamu zamiiya nizakula ni kuzipuputiza, mi kana zibabiki nanga buheke.
And some fell among the thornes, and the thornes grewe vp, and choked it, so that it gaue no fruite.
8 Imwi imbuto niyawila mwibu ilotu ni kubika buheke muzaabukula ni zabuekeza, mi zimwi nizaleta chakuminihanya makumi otatwe kubungi, imi zimwi makumi amana iyanza ni kumi, mi zimwi mwanda.”
Some againe fell in good grounde, and did yeelde fruite that sprong vp, and grewe, and it brought foorth, some thirtie folde, some sixtie folde, and some an hundreth folde.
9 Mi chati, “Yese wina matwi akuzuwa, mumusiye azuwe!”
Then he said vnto them, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
10 Jesus habena yeyena, babena hafuhi naye ni bena ikumi ni bobele babamubuzi kuamana ni nguli.
And whe he was alone, they that were about him with the twelue, asked him of ye parable.
11 Chati kubali, “Kwenu kuhelwe ikunutu yomubuso wa Ireeza. Kono kubeena hanze zonse zina munguli,
And he saide vnto them, To you it is giuen to knowe the mysterie of the kingdome of God: but vnto them that are without, all thinges bee done in parables,
12 Kokuti habalola, ee balola, kono kababoni, ni kuti habazuwa, ee bazuwa, kono kabazuwisisi, kamba hamwi pona chibasanduka mi Ireeza pona chobakwatila.”
That they seeing, may see, and not discerne: and they hearing, may heare, and not vnderstand, least at any time they should turne, and their sinnes should be forgiuen them.
13 Mi chati kubali, “Kamuzuwisisi iyi inguli? Mumuzuwisise bule inguli zonse zimwi?
Againe he said vnto them, Perceiue ye not this parable? howe then should ye vnderstand all other parables?
14 Mulimi yobyala imbuto njeye yobyala iinzwi.
The sower soweth the worde.
15 Bamwi njezina ziwila kumbali yamugwagwa, mulibabyalwa liinzwi. Mi habalizuwa, hahobulyo Satani ulizwisa mi uhinda liinzwi liba byalwa mubali.
And these are they that receiue the seede by the wayes side, in whome the worde is sowen: but when they haue heard it, Satan commeth immediatly, and taketh away the worde that was sowen in their heartes.
16 Mi bamwi njabo babyalwa hebu lyamabwe, ili abo, habazuwa liinzwi, hahobulyo balitambula chakusaanga.
And likewise they that receiue the seede in stony ground, are they, which whe they haue heard the word, straightwayes receiue it with gladnesse.
17 Mi kabena muhisi mubali beene, kono balikozakoza chenakozana. Linu bukabo ni kunyandiswa kwiza chebaka lyaliizwi, hahobulyo bachunchula.
Yet haue they no roote in themselues, and endure but a time: for when trouble and persecution ariseth for the worde, immediatly they be offended.
18 Mi bamwi njabo babyalwa mukati kamiiya. Bazuwa liinzwi,
Also they that receiue the seede among the thornes, are such as heare the word:
19 kono babilela ni zenkanda, kuchengwa chifumu, ni ntakazo zazintu zimwi zinjila mo ni kwihaya liinzwi, mi liba lisabiiki zibikantu. (aiōn g165)
But the cares of this world, and the deceitfulnes of riches, and the lustes of other things enter in, and choke the word, and it is vnfruitfull. (aiōn g165)
20 Linu kwina abo bababyalwa mwibu ilotu. Bazuwa liinzwi ni kulitambula ni kubika zihantu: zimwi makumi otatwe, mi zimwi makumi amana iyanza ni kumi, mi zimwi mwanda”.
But they that haue receiued seede in good ground, are they that heare the worde, and receiue it, and bring foorth fruite: one corne thirtie, another sixtie, and some an hundreth.
21 Jesu nati kubali, “Muleta ilambi munzubo ni kulibika mwikonde yechitanda, kamba mwikonde lyabulo? Mulileta mukati ni kulitula hachitulilo chelambi.
Also he saide vnto them, Commeth the candle in, to be put vnder a bushell, or vnder the bed, and not to be put on a candlesticke?
22 Mukuti kakwina chiuungilwa chiseti ni chizibahazwe, mi kakwina inkunutu yiseti niibe henkanza.
For there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened: neither is there a secret, but that it shall come to light.
23 Heba zumwi wina matwi akuzuwa, mumusiye azuwe!”
If any man haue eares to heare, let him heare.
24 Nati kubali, “Mutwalize kuchi muzuwa, intikanyezo imulikanisa, yete nimulikanyezwe chayo, mi muiwelwe kwenu.
And he said vnto them, Take heede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured vnto you: and vnto you that heare, shall more be giuen.
25 Mukuti yense wina, kwali kakuwelwa ni kuhita, mi yense yasena, kwali mukuhindililwe ni zakwete.”
For vnto him that hath, shall it be giuen, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, euen that he hath.
26 Mi nichati, “Mubuso wa Ireeza uswana sina muntu yobyala imbuto hansi.
Also he said, So is the kingdome of God, as if a man should cast seede in the ground,
27 Ulala masiku ni kubuka musihali, mi imbuto imena ni kukula, nanga kezibite kuti mbobule.
And shoulde sleepe, and rise vp night and day, and the seede should spring and growe vp, he not knowing howe.
28 Ibu libika buheke ilyo liine: intanzi ituunga, linu chikunku, linu kwiza buheke bubuzwile kuchikunku.
For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of it selfe, first the blade, then the eares, after that full corne in the eares.
29 Mi buheke habubuzwa hahobulyo utumina ijekisi hanze, mukuti inkutulo chiyasika”.
And assoone as the fruite sheweth it selfe, anon hee putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come.
30 Mi nati, “Mubuso wa Ireeza tuwola kuubambanya ni chi, kamba inguli inzi ituwola tendisa kukuutoloka?
He saide moreouer, Whereunto shall wee liken the kingdome of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31 Ukola sina imbuto yamasitate iti, chiibyalitwe, nji iha nikuhita imbuto yahebu.
It is like a graine of mustarde seede, which when it is sowen in the earth, is the least of all seedes that be in the earth:
32 Mihe, chiibyalitwe, ikula ni kuba bukando kuzamba zonse zimenantu zoluwa, mi itenda mitavi mikando, kokuti zizuni zewulu ziwola kuchita zizumbo mumuzunde wayo.”
But after that it is sowen, it groweth vp, and is greatest of all herbes, and beareth great branches, so that the foules of heauen may builde vnder the shadow of it.
33 Chenguli zingi ziswana nezi nawamba liinzwi kubali, chabuungi kakuya kamubawolela kuzuwisisa,
And with many such parables he preached the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it.
34 imi kanaabawambi kubali nikusena inguli. Kono habali yeyena, abatoloki zintu zonse kubarutwana bakwe.
And without parables spake hee nothing vnto them: but he expounded all thinges to his disciples apart.
35 Mwelyo izuba, hakuba chitengu, nati kubali, “Tulutile mulimwi ishilya.”
Nowe the same day when euen was come, he saide vnto them, Let vs passe ouer vnto the other side.
36 Linu nibasiya chisi, kuhinda ni Jesu, kakuti chabena kale muchikepe. Zimwi zikepe nazo zibena naye.
And they left the multitude, and tooke him as he was in the shippe, and there were also with him other little shippes.
37 Mi ihuho likalihite ikando chilyabuka mi masuunda abali kwi njila muchikepe mukuti chikepe chichibezwile.
And there arose a great storme of winde, and the waues dashed into the shippe, so that it was now full.
38 Kono Jesu iyemwine abeena muluheho lwachikepe, nalele hamushamo. Chibamubusa, nibacho, “Muruti, kobileli nihatusaka kufwa?”
And he was in the sterne asleepe on a pillow: and they awoke him, and saide to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 Mi, haabuuswa, na kalimela luhuho ni kucho kwiwate, “Inkozo, tukumane.” Mi ihuho nilya zimana, mi kubena kutontola kukando.
And hee rose vp, and rebuked the winde, and saide vnto the sea, Peace, and be still. So the winde ceased, and it was a great calme.
40 Mi nati kubali, “Chinzi hamutiite? Kamwini kuba ni intumelo?”
Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye so fearefull? how is it that ye haue no faith?
41 Babezuli kutiya kukando mi ni bawamba zumwi ku zumwi, “Linu njeni uzu, mukuti nanga ihuho ni wate zimuzuwa?”
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who is this, that both the winde and sea obey him?
