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 He began to teach again by the sea-side, and there was gathered unto Him a great multitude; so that He went into a ship, and sat on board, and all the people were by the sea, upon the shore.
2 Ary nampianatra azy zavatra maro tamin’ ny fanoharana Izy ka nilaza tamin’ ny fampianarany azy hoe:
And He taught them many things by similitudes, and said to them in his instruction,
3 Mihainoa: Indro, nivoaka ny mpamafy mba hamafy.
hearken, Behold a sower went out to sow:
4 Ary raha namafy izy, ny sasany dia voafafy teny amoron-dalana, dia avy ny vorona ka nandany izany.
and in sowing, some fell by the way-side, and the birds came and ate it up:
5 Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tany marivo ambony vatolampy; dia nalaky nitrebona ireny, satria tsy nisy tany lalina.
and some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth, and it sprang up immediately, because it had not depth of earth;
6 Fa rehefa niposaka ny masoandro, dia nalazo ireny; ary satria tsy nanam-paka, dia maty izy.
but when the sun rose, it was burnt up, and withered because it had no root:
7 Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tsilo; ary ny tsilo naniry ka nangeja azy, dia tsy namoa izy.
and some fell among 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 other fell on good ground, and yielded fruit springing up and increasing; and produced some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred-fold.
9 Ary hoy Izy: Izay manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.
And He said unto them, He that 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 apart from the multitude, those that were about Him with the twelve asked Him concerning the parable.
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, To you it is granted to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but unto them that are without all things are delivered 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 in seeing they may see and not perceive, and in hearing they may hear and not understand, least they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them.
13 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Tsy azonareo va ilay fanoharana teo? koa hataonareo ahoana no fahafantatra ny fanoharana rehetra?
Then saith He unto them, Do ye not understand this parable? how then will ye understand all my other parables.
14 Ny mpamafy dia mamafy ny teny.
The sower is he that soweth the word. And these are they by the way-side:
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.
where the word is sown; but when they have heard it, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
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 in like manner, they that are sown as on stony grounds are such, as when they hear the word,
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.
immediately receive it with joy, but have no root in themselves, and so continue but for a short season: and then, when affliction cometh, or persecution on account of the word, they are as soon offended.
18 Ary misy hafa koa izay voafafy teny amin’ ny tsilo, dia ireo no ilay nandre ny teny,
And those that are sown as among thorns, are these: such as hear the word indeed,
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)
but the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and inordinate desires after other things entering in choke the word, and so 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 these are they who are like seed sown on good ground: such as hear the word, and receive it; and bring forth fruit, some thirty-fold, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
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 a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or a bed, and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 Fa tsy misy takona izay tsy ho hita, na miafina izay tsy haseho.
for there is nothing hidden, which may not be revealed; nor was there any thing concealed, but in order to become manifest.
23 Raha misy olona manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.
If any one 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 mind what ye hear: for with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you; and more shall be imparted to you that are observant:
25 Fa izay manana no homena; ary ny amin’ ny tsy manana, na dia izay ananany aza dia halaina aminy.
for whosoever hath, to him more shall be given; and he that hath not, even what he hath, or seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.
26 Ary hoy Izy: Toy izao ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra: tahaka ny lehilahy mamafy voa amin’ ny tany
And He said, The kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed into the ground,
27 ka matory sy mahatsiaro isan’ alina sy isan’ andro; ary ny voa dia mitsimoka ka maniry, nefa tsy fantany ny faniriny
and sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up, and increase; he knows not how.
28 Fa ny tany mahavokatra ho azy: voalohany misy tahony, dia teraka, ary rehefa izany, dia feno voa.
For the earth produces fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn 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, he immediately puts in 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, To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or by what similitude shall we represent it?
31 Tahaka ny voantsinapy izy, izay kely noho ny voa rehetra, raha vao afafy amin’ ny tany;
It is like to a grain of mustard-seed, which when it is sown in the ground, is one of the lest of all the seeds on 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.
but after it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces large branches, so that the birds of the air may lodge under it's shadow.
33 Ary fanoharana maro toy izany no nanambarany ny teny taminy, araka izay hainy hohenoina.
And in many such parables spake He the word to them, as they had ability to hear it: but spake not to them without a parable.
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 He explained all to his disciples in private.
35 Ary androtrizay ihany, rehefa hariva ny andro, dia hoy Izy taminy: Andeha isika hita ho eny am-pita.
And the same day, in the evening, He saith to them, Let us go over to 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.
So they dismissed the multitude, and took Him as He was in the ship. But there were other small vessels likewise with Him.
37 Ary nisy tafio-drivotra mahery, ary nianjerazeran’ ny alon-drano ny sambokely ka nila ho feno rano.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now almost full.
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 was in the stern asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, art thou under no concern that we are perishing?
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 rose 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 so fearful? how! have ye no faith?
41 Ary natahotra indrindra izy ireo ka niresaka hoe: Iza moa Ity, fa ny rivotra sy ny ranomasina aza manaiky Azy?
And they were exceedingly afraid, and said to one another, Who is this? that even the wind and the sea obey Him?
