Mak 4
1 Mach ave, Jisasɨv yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh ampaŋ ñi ekwaŋg ya sɨkamar. Sɨkazand wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ ohɨron hamb ai ndɨn ondɨhorɨmŋgɨmar. Az Jisasɨv han we utɨŋg unchaŋ ŋkwuhi ŋkañɨz, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb yamb ampa ikwɨmun ai ñɨmŋgɨmar.
Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore.
2 Jisasɨv ndɨŋ ya ahɨmb akŋ han sɨkanj. Ave mach, ya ahɨmb han mbanave kamar.
And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,
3 Ndɨh wamŋgɨn amar. Wɨram emŋga hamb wit nor han aporɨŋɨn are war unchaŋ omɨr amar.
“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4 We wit nor han aporɨzand, hanaveaŋg empasamɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨz apa hamb ai naŋgamɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Mach, wit nor hanaveaŋg nsɨham mpɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Isa ohɨra kamah raz pams haŋon ahamŋgɨmɨr amar.
Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
6 Kɨrɨm ntɨr omanenta kazɨŋgw mah raz, rapɨr hamb aharai kɨraz mɨŋam mahɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7 Mach, wit nor hanaveaŋg kɨrɨpahe ŋkɨraŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Avɨz kɨrɨpahe hamb awarohe asi ŋambɨŋgwɨz mbɨ nor mɨŋgwɨndɨramŋgɨm amar.
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.
8 Mach, wit nor hanaveaŋg isupɨr imbɨrɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr hamb mbɨ omanenton ahamŋgɨmɨr amar. Omanenton ahe ohɨrare ñi nor omanenton ŋgwɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Hanaveaŋg 30 ŋgwɨmŋgɨmɨr, hanaveaŋg 60, hanaveaŋg 100 ŋgwɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop—one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.”
9 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Ndɨh wamŋgɨn amar. Wɨram njɨhinsɨnd hamb mbɨ njɨhamŋgɨz amar.
Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 Mach az, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb etomŋgɨz mach raz, osa anchɨ Jisas hanave ñɨmŋganj hamb sezɨr oman ŋkiŋkiŋg undɨmajɨvamen, mbɨ Jisasɨh ya ahɨmbɨnd ondo handɨv amarɨmŋgɨmar.
As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.
11 Amarɨmŋgɨz kamar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg ŋɨmbɨz mbɨkɨr kwɨŋ ñɨndɨramŋgi amar. Handɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya mbɨkɨr mpɨ unchaŋ ñi han, han Yakŋ Ohɨrav andɨŋ ndɨh eŋgwi amar. Osa anchɨ injambɨrɨnd hamb mbɨ nend amar. Mbɨ werɨndɨramŋgiaŋg, kɨrɨm mbɨ hanɨhan han omanenta mɨwandɨramŋgɨm amar. Ave mbɨ ya ohɨron njɨhamɨndɨramŋgiaŋg, kɨrɨm mbɨ ya ondo kehan mɨwamŋgɨrɨm amar. Mbɨ hanave re imbɨr mpɨ itɨmaimŋgɨmɨr oh a amar. Nend amar. Handɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrav mbɨndɨŋ enta kɨvah han musɨndɨram amar. Handɨv re nzɨ osa anchɨ injambɨrɨnd han ya ahɨmbŋam kajin amar.
He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,
so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”
13 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Amɨ ya ahɨmbɨnd ondo mban mɨwamŋgɨrɨm toh amar. Ave amɨ ya ahɨmb akŋ emŋgemŋga han nzɨhanave wandɨramŋgɨn amar.
Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?
14 Mach, wɨram wit nor apororɨnd hamb ndɨn wɨram Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya eŋgwandari haremamp amar.
The farmer sows the word.
15 Wɨram hamb wit nor han aporɨz empasamɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨz, apa hamb ai naŋgamɨmŋgɨmɨr han, han osa anchɨ hamb ya Yakŋ Ohɨrand han njɨhamŋgɨmɨraŋg, kɨrɨm Satanɨmb pams haŋon ai ya han ŋe hɨromɨr haremamp amar.
Some are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
16 Mach, osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg, ndɨŋ wit nor isa nsɨham mpɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar. Mbɨ ya han njɨhame ŋe ŋɨñɨmbam oŋambam ñɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
17 Avɨz wɨram emŋgemŋga hamb ihɨnd ya handɨv osa anchɨ han kɨr ohɨra eŋgwe ndɨŋ enta opɨha sɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Handɨv mbɨ yan ererɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Mbɨ wɨndɨv mɨñɨndɨramŋgɨm amar. Nend amar. Ndɨŋ wit hamb ntɨr kazɨŋgw mah ramŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar.
But they themselves have no root, and they remain for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
18 Mach, osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg, ndɨŋ wit nor kɨrɨpahe ŋkɨraŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar. Mbɨ ya han njɨhamŋgɨmɨr amar.
Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
19 Kɨrɨm mbɨ hanɨhan isupɨr mbanand handɨv njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr njɨhakɨramamŋgɨmɨr amar. Nsɨham nor hamb arɨŋ omanenta hɨrawɨz imbɨrun ñɨndɨrarɨŋ toh arar njɨhamŋgɨmɨr amar. Kɨrɨm nend amar. Ave mbɨ hanɨhan isupɨr mbanand handɨvam ntichɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Avɨz njɨhi endɨraparam kehamb ndɨŋ irɨwazɨz ya mbanamb mamah ŋgorɨmɨr amar. (aiōn g165)
but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Mach, osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg, ndɨŋ wit nor isupɨr imbɨrɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar. Mbɨ ya han njɨhamŋgɨmɨr han, mbɨ witɨv omanenton ŋgwɨmŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar. Hanaveaŋg 30, hanaveaŋg 60, mach hanaveaŋg 100 ŋgwɨmŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar.
Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”
21 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ ekwaŋg ke kamar. Wɨram hamb irɨpɨr han hɨrai nchɨ kwɨŋ ŋgamŋgɨj oh o antɨm kwɨŋ ŋgamŋgɨj oh amar. Nend amar. Mbɨ irɨpɨr han mbɨkɨr sam ñaŋ ñɨñ haŋam ŋgamŋgɨj amar.
Jesus also said to them, “Does anyone bring in a lamp to put it under a basket or under a bed? Doesn’t he set it on a stand?
22 Wɨram hamb utuhutuh han aŋkwazɨmŋgɨz han Yakŋ Ohɨrav injambɨr ahandari amar. Wɨram hamb utuhutuh han amɨnaŋgworɨmŋgɨz hanez Yakŋ Ohɨrav injambɨr ahandari amar.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.
23 Wɨram njɨhinsɨnd hamb mbɨ njɨhamŋgɨz amar.
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ mbahon kamar. Amɨ ya mban njɨhame omanenta wavar amar. Amɨ hanɨhan wɨram eŋgwamŋgɨrɨn han, njɨmɨnj haŋ Yakŋ Ohɨrav andɨŋ mbɨŋ han haŋonaŋg eŋgwandari amar. Ave mbɨ andɨŋ hanaveaŋg mpaji mbah eŋgwandari amar.
He went on to say, “Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you.
25 Avɨz wɨram emŋga hanɨhansɨnd han ndɨn Yakŋ Ohɨrav ekwaŋg hanaveonaŋg eŋgwandari amar. Kɨrɨm wɨram hanɨhan mah han Yakŋ Ohɨrav hanɨhan nor mbɨkɨr han mɨŋam ŋɨmbɨndari amar.
For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
26 Mach, Jisasɨv kamar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg ŋɨmbɨz mbɨkɨr kwɨŋ ñɨndɨramŋgi han, han wɨram hamb wit nor han isaŋ aporɨmɨr haremamp amar.
Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
27 Az zuhɨnd rapɨrɨnd wɨram mbanamb ikwɨ ŋgañi ŋaiahazand wit nor mbanamb ahe we ohɨrarɨmɨr amar. Kɨrɨm wɨram mbanamb wit norɨv hanave ohɨrarɨj han, han mbɨ mɨwamɨr amar.
Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.
28 Isavonaŋg raz kwerɨvoz ahe mach zɨŋ ampɨhamɨr amar. Ave mbɨ ohɨrare ñi apa ame nor ŋgwɨmɨr amar.
All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.
29 Az wit hamb mɨŋ amaz mach raz, wit erɨherɨhɨnd iŋgi hamb ahevakarɨz wɨram mbanamb kɨrɨm erɨhamɨr amar.
And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 Mach, Jisasɨv ekwaŋg ke kamar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg ŋɨmbɨz mbɨkɨr kwɨŋ ñɨndɨramŋgi han, han utɨman emamp amar. Handɨv arɨ ya ahɨmb han nzɨhanave kandɨrarɨŋ amar.
Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?
31 Yakŋ Ohɨrav osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg ŋɨmbɨz mbɨkɨr kwɨŋ ñɨndɨramŋgi han, han erampɨr mastetɨnd emamp amar. Erampɨr emŋgemŋgand nor han ohɨra amar. Mastetɨnd nor han nend amar. Mbɨkɨr nor han ntɨŋɨnd nor mɨŋ amar. Kɨrɨm wɨram hamb mastetɨnd nor han aporɨz ahe ohɨrare ñi erampɨr mɨŋam war unchand han eparɨj amar. Erampɨr kehan ena ohɨrohɨransɨnd amar. Avɨz apa hamb ai mpɨr mbɨkɨr haŋ mpɨ asɨmŋgɨj amar.
It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.
But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”
33 Mach, Jisasɨv osa anchɨ han ya ahɨmb hanonaŋg hanonaŋg sɨkanj. Osa anchɨ hamb ya ahɨmb imbɨr njɨhamŋganj haŋam, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ mbahon sɨkanj.
With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.
34 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ ya ahɨmbŋam sɨkanj. Kɨrɨm osa anchɨ hamb etomŋgɨz, sezɨrɨvam ndɨnmen ñɨmŋgɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋɨh ya ahɨmbɨnd ondo han orapaizɨŋgaŋg sɨkanj.
He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.
35 Mach, nanempand zuh razand, yuŋk haŋonaŋg, Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr sezɨrɨh mbanave kamar. Aimŋgɨn yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh ŋkiŋgɨŋ evahetom amar.
When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”
36 Avɨz sezɨrɨv wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han erere utɨŋg Jisasɨv ñɨmar haŋ ŋkwetohe ndɨn hɨrevahomŋgɨmar. Azand, utɨŋg emŋgemŋga kehambez hanave ñɨmŋgɨmar.
After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.
37 Evahomŋgɨzand, uvika yambɨka ohɨrav ŋaiahe ichij ñɨmar. Uvika yambɨka ohɨrav ichɨz ichɨzand yamb hamb utɨŋg unchaŋ irɨzɨŋgwɨz torɨŋɨn are ramar.
Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.
38 Mach, Jisasɨv utɨŋg wa handɨh ñi ikwɨ ŋgañɨmar. Nsar kwaravɨzahah han ŋgame ŋgañɨmar. Ŋgañɨz ndɨn emɨre kamŋgɨmar. Anɨŋzɨŋ entand arɨmŋgɨmar. Arɨ machun, ndɨh mandɨrarɨŋ arɨmŋgɨmar. Amɨ arɨŋ njɨhamɨn oh o nend arɨmŋgɨmar.
But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”
39 Mach az, Jisasɨv ŋaiahe uvika yambɨka han aŋkarɨpɨr ke mbanave kamar. Mach, ererɨvar amar. Hanɨhaz mach uvi hamb mazand yamb hamb enta maram.
Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.
40 Ave mbɨkɨr sezɨrɨh amarɨmar. Amɨ utɨndɨv ezandɨkŋɨmŋgɨn amar. Amɨ njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr mɨŋamŋgɨmbɨram amar.
“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”
41 Az ndɨŋ zɨŋɨmb pɨrorɨŋgaz mbon ya mbon ya kamŋgɨmar. Wɨram mban uñɨman arɨmŋgɨmar. Mbɨ kaz uvika yambɨka hamb kɨrɨm mach ramŋgi arɨmŋgɨmar.
Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
