Marka 4
1 Ary nampianatra teo amoron’ ny ranomasina indray Jesosy; ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nanatona Azy, dia niditra teo an-tsambokely Izy ka nipetraka teo amin’ ny ranomasina; ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia teny an-tanety amoron-dranomasina.
And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.
2 Ary nampianatra azy zavatra maro tamin’ ny fanoharana Izy ka nilaza tamin’ ny fampianarany azy hoe:
And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching,
3 Mihainoa: Indro, nivoaka ny mpamafy mba hamafy.
Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:
4 Ary raha namafy izy, ny sasany dia voafafy teny amoron-dalana, dia avy ny vorona ka nandany izany.
and it came to pass, as he sowed, some [seed] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tany marivo ambony vatolampy; dia nalaky nitrebona ireny, satria tsy nisy tany lalina.
And other fell on the rocky [ground], where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth:
6 Fa rehefa niposaka ny masoandro, dia nalazo ireny; ary satria tsy nanam-paka, dia maty izy.
and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tsilo; ary ny tsilo naniry ka nangeja azy, dia tsy namoa izy.
And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tany tsara, ary raha naniry sy namoa, dia vokatra, fa namoa: ny sasany avy telo-polo heny, ary ny sasany avy enim-polo heny, ary ny sasany avy zato heny.
And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
9 Ary hoy Izy: Izay manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.
And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Ary raha tao amin’ ny mangingina Izy, dia nanontany Azy ny amin’ ny fanoharana ireo nomba Azy mbamin’ ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy.
And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables.
11 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Hianareo no efa nomena ny zava-miafina ny amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra; fa amin’ ireny izay any ivelany kosa ny zavatra rehetra dia atao amin’ ny fanoharana;
And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables:
12 mba hijery mandrakariva ihany izy, fa tsy hahita; ary mba handre mandrakariva ihany izy, fa tsy hahafantatra; fandrao hibebaka izy, ka havela ny helony.
that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them.
13 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Tsy azonareo va ilay fanoharana teo? koa hataonareo ahoana no fahafantatra ny fanoharana rehetra?
And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables?
14 Ny mpamafy dia mamafy ny teny.
The sower soweth the word.
15 Ary ireto no ilay teo amoron-dalana, dia izay amafazana ny teny, fa rehefa nandre izy, dia avy miaraka amin’ izay Satana ka manaisotra ny teny izay nafafy tao aminy.
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them.
16 Ary tahaka izany koa, ireto no ilay voafafy teny amin’ ny tany marivo ambony vatolampy, dia izay mandre ny teny ka malaky mandray izany amin’ ny hafaliana;
And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky [places], who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;
17 nefa tsy manam-paka ao anatiny ireny, fa maharitra vetivety foana; koa rehefa afaka izany, ka tonga izay fahoriana na fanenjehana noho ny teny, dia tafintohina miaraka amin’ izay izy.
and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.
18 Ary misy hafa koa izay voafafy teny amin’ ny tsilo, dia ireo no ilay nandre ny teny,
And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,
19 fa ny fiahiahiana izao fiainana izao sy ny fitaky ny harena ary ny filàna ny zavatra hafa miditra, dia mangeja ny teny, ka tsy mamoa izy. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Ary ireto no ilay voafafy teny amin’ ny tany tsara, dia izay mandre ny teny ka mandray azy dia mamoa: ny sasany avy telo-polo heny, ny sasany avy enim-polo heny, ary ny sasany avy zato heny.
And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
21 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Moa entina va ny jiro mba hosaronan’ ny vata famarana, na hatao ao ambanin’ ny farafara? Tsy hatao amin’ ny fanaovan-jiro va izy?
And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, [and] not to be put on the stand?
22 Fa tsy misy takona izay tsy ho hita, na miafina izay tsy haseho.
For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was [anything] made secret, but that it should come to light.
23 Raha misy olona manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.
If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
24 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Diniho izay teny renareo; araka ny ohatra anoharanareo ihany no hanoharana ho anareo, ary homena mihoatra aza ianareo.
And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you; and more shall be given unto you.
25 Fa izay manana no homena; ary ny amin’ ny tsy manana, na dia izay ananany aza dia halaina aminy.
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
26 Ary hoy Izy: Toy izao ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra: tahaka ny lehilahy mamafy voa amin’ ny tany
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;
27 ka matory sy mahatsiaro isan’ alina sy isan’ andro; ary ny voa dia mitsimoka ka maniry, nefa tsy fantany ny faniriny
and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how.
28 Fa ny tany mahavokatra ho azy: voalohany misy tahony, dia teraka, ary rehefa izany, dia feno voa.
The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Fa rehefa azo jinjana izy, dia jinjany miaraka amin’ izay, fa efa tonga ny fararano.
But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 Ary hoy Izy: Ahoana no hanoharantsika ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra, ary inona no fanoharana hanoharantsika azy?
And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?
31 Tahaka ny voantsinapy izy, izay kely noho ny voa rehetra, raha vao afafy amin’ ny tany;
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,
32 Fa rehefa voafafy kosa izy, dia maniry ka tonga lehibe noho ny anana rehetra, ary mandrantsana vaventy, ka azon’ ny voro-manidina itoerana ny alokalony.
yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.
33 Ary fanoharana maro toy izany no nanambarany ny teny taminy, araka izay hainy hohenoina.
And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it;
34 Ary raha tsy tamin’ ny fanoharana dia tsy niteny taminy Izy; ary tamin’ ny mangingina no nilazany tamin’ ny mpianany ny hevitr’ ireo rehetra ireo.
and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.
35 Ary androtrizay ihany, rehefa hariva ny andro, dia hoy Izy taminy: Andeha isika hita ho eny am-pita.
And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side.
36 Ary rehefa nampodin’ ny mpianany ny vahoaka, dia nentiny tamin’ io sambokely io tamin’ izao ihany Jesosy. Ary nisy sambokely sasany koa niaraka taminy.
And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
37 Ary nisy tafio-drivotra mahery, ary nianjerazeran’ ny alon-drano ny sambokely ka nila ho feno rano.
And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling.
38 Ary Jesosy natory teo am-bodin’ ny sambokely tambonin’ ny ondana; ary namoha Azy izy ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, tsy mampaninona Anao va izao hahafatesanay izao?
And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?
39 Ary nifoha Izy, dia niteny mafy ny rivotra sady nilaza tamin’ ny ranomasina hoe: Mangìna, mitsahara. Ary dia nitsahatra ny rivotra, ka tony tsara ny andro.
And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Nahoana no saro-tahotra ianareo? Tsy mbola manam-pinoana va ianareo?
And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?
41 Ary natahotra indrindra izy ireo ka niresaka hoe: Iza moa Ity, fa ny rivotra sy ny ranomasina aza manaiky Azy?
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
