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.
Afterwards Jesus began to teach by the seaside, and a vast multitude of people gathered about him, so that he went on board a boat on the sea, and sat there, while all the people stayed on shore, at the water’s edge.
2 Jisasɨv ndɨŋ ya ahɨmb akŋ han sɨkanj. Ave mach, ya ahɨmb han mbanave kamar.
Then he began teaching them in parables many things. In his teaching he said to them.
3 Ndɨh wamŋgɨn amar. Wɨram emŋga hamb wit nor han aporɨŋɨn are war unchaŋ omɨr amar.
"Listen! the Sower once went out to sow,
4 We wit nor han aporɨzand, hanaveaŋg empasamɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨz apa hamb ai naŋgamɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
and as he sowed, it happened that some seed fell on the road, and birds came and picked it up;
5 Mach, wit nor hanaveaŋg nsɨham mpɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Isa ohɨra kamah raz pams haŋon ahamŋgɨmɨr amar.
some other seed fell on stony soil, where it had not much earth; and it sprang up quickly because it had no depth of soil,
6 Kɨrɨm ntɨr omanenta kazɨŋgw mah raz, rapɨr hamb aharai kɨraz mɨŋam mahɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
but when the sun rose it was scorched and withered away because it 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 the thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked it, so that it 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.
But some seed fell into good soil and yielded a crop that sprang up and increased, yielding thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.
9 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Ndɨh wamŋgɨn amar. Wɨram njɨhinsɨnd hamb mbɨ njɨhamŋgɨz amar.
"Any one who has ears to hear," he added, "let him listen to this."
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.
When he was alone his followers and the Twelve began asking about the parables.
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 went on to say to them. "The secret truth concerning the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside everything is told in parables,
so that, "for all their looking they may not see, and for all their hearing, they may not understand, lest perchance they should turn and be pardoned.
13 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Amɨ ya ahɨmbɨnd ondo mban mɨwamŋgɨrɨm toh amar. Ave amɨ ya ahɨmb akŋ emŋgemŋga han nzɨhanave wandɨramŋgɨn amar.
"You do not understand this parable," said Jesus. "Then how will you understand the other parables?
14 Mach, wɨram wit nor apororɨnd hamb ndɨn wɨram Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya eŋgwandari haremamp amar.
"What the Sower sows is the Word. There are those ‘on the wayside’ where the Word is sown.
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.
As soon as they hear it, Satan immediately comes and snatches away the Word which has been 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.
And like the sowing upon ‘stony ground’ are those who, whenever they hear the Word, 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 because they have no root in themselves they last for a time; but when suffering or persecution ensues because of the Word, they at once fall away.
18 Mach, osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg, ndɨŋ wit nor kɨrɨpahe ŋkɨraŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar. Mbɨ ya han njɨhamŋgɨmɨr amar.
There are others who are ‘sown among thorns.’
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)
When they have heard the Word, the anxieties of life and the snares of wealth, and all sorts of other ambitions, come in to choke the Word, so that it proves 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.
But those, on the other hand, who were sown on that good soil, are those who listen to the Word, and welcome it, and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, 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.
He went on to say. "Is the lamp brought in to be put under the bushel or the bed? Is it not rather to be put on the lamp-stand?
22 Wɨram hamb utuhutuh han aŋkwazɨmŋgɨz han Yakŋ Ohɨrav injambɨr ahandari amar. Wɨram hamb utuhutuh han amɨnaŋgworɨmŋgɨz hanez Yakŋ Ohɨrav injambɨr ahandari amar.
There is nothing hidden except what is to be disclosed, and nothing concealed except what is to be revealed.
23 Wɨram njɨhinsɨnd hamb mbɨ njɨhamŋgɨz amar.
If any man 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.
And he said to them. "Take heed what you hear. With what measure you measure it will be measured to you, and more will be given 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 he who holds, to him will more be given, and he who holds not, from him will be taken even what he holds."
26 Mach, Jisasɨv kamar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg ŋɨmbɨz mbɨkɨr kwɨŋ ñɨndɨramŋgi han, han wɨram hamb wit nor han isaŋ aporɨmɨr haremamp amar.
"It is with the kingdom of God," he continued, "as if a man should have sown seed in the earth;
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 while the seed is sprouting and growing tall, he knows not how.
28 Isavonaŋg raz kwerɨvoz ahe mach zɨŋ ampɨhamɨr amar. Ave mbɨ ohɨrare ñi apa ame nor ŋgwɨmɨr amar.
Of its own accord the earth bears its crops; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Az wit hamb mɨŋ amaz mach raz, wit erɨherɨhɨnd iŋgi hamb ahevakarɨz wɨram mbanamb kɨrɨm erɨhamɨr amar.
Then as soon as the crop is ready the man has the sickle put in at once, because harvest-time is 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.
"To what shall we compare the kingdom of God?" he said again. "in what parable shall we set it forth?
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, when sown in the soil, is the smallest seed in the world;
yet when sown shoots up and becomes larger than any plant, sending out such branches that the wild birds build their nests under its shadow."
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 illustrations Jesus used to tell his message to people as far as they were able to receive it;
34 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ ya ahɨmbŋam sɨkanj. Kɨrɨm osa anchɨ hamb etomŋgɨz, sezɨrɨvam ndɨnmen ñɨmŋgɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋɨh ya ahɨmbɨnd ondo han orapaizɨŋgaŋg sɨkanj.
and to them it was his practice never to speak except in parables. But he used to explain everything in private to his disciples.
35 Mach, nanempand zuh razand, yuŋk haŋonaŋg, Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr sezɨrɨh mbanave kamar. Aimŋgɨn yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh ŋkiŋgɨŋ evahetom amar.
On the evening of that same day Jesus said to them, "Let us go across 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.
So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them just as he was in the boat; and the other boats were with him.
37 Evahomŋgɨzand, uvika yambɨka ohɨrav ŋaiahe ichij ñɨmar. Uvika yambɨka ohɨrav ichɨz ichɨzand yamb hamb utɨŋg unchaŋ irɨzɨŋgwɨz torɨŋɨn are ramar.
But a great gale of wind came up, and the waves were dashing into the boat so that it began to fill.
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.
Now he himself was sleeping on the cushion in the stern, so they woke him up, saying, "Master, do you not care if we perish?"
39 Mach az, Jisasɨv ŋaiahe uvika yambɨka han aŋkarɨpɨr ke mbanave kamar. Mach, ererɨvar amar. Hanɨhaz mach uvi hamb mazand yamb hamb enta maram.
And he awoke, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!"
40 Ave mbɨkɨr sezɨrɨh amarɨmar. Amɨ utɨndɨv ezandɨkŋɨmŋgɨn amar. Amɨ njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr mɨŋamŋgɨmbɨram amar.
The wind fell, and there ensued a great calm. Then he said to them. "Why are you so afraid? Have you still 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.
Then they were awestruck, and said one to another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey him!"
