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.
Jesus again began to teach by the Sea; and, as an immense crowd was gathering round him, he got into a boat, and sat in it on the Sea, while all the people were on the shore at the water’s edge.
2 Jisasɨv ndɨŋ ya ahɨmb akŋ han sɨkanj. Ave mach, ya ahɨmb han mbanave kamar.
Then he taught them many truths in parables; and in the course of 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 went out to sow;
4 We wit nor han aporɨzand, hanaveaŋg empasamɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨz apa hamb ai naŋgamɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
and presently, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path; and the birds came, and ate it up.
5 Mach, wit nor hanaveaŋg nsɨham mpɨŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Isa ohɨra kamah raz pams haŋon ahamŋgɨmɨr amar.
Some fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and, having no depth of soil, sprang up at once;
6 Kɨrɨm ntɨr omanenta kazɨŋgw mah raz, rapɨr hamb aharai kɨraz mɨŋam mahɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
but, when the sun rose, it was scorched, and, having no root, withered away.
7 Mach, wit nor hanaveaŋg kɨrɨpahe ŋkɨraŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Avɨz kɨrɨpahe hamb awarohe asi ŋambɨŋgwɨz mbɨ nor mɨŋgwɨndɨramŋgɨm amar.
Some of the seed fell among brambles; but the brambles shot up and completely choked it, and it yielded no return.
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.
Some fell into good soil, and, shooting up and growing, yielded a return, amounting to thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.”
9 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Ndɨh wamŋgɨn amar. Wɨram njɨhinsɨnd hamb mbɨ njɨhamŋgɨz amar.
And Jesus said: “Let any one who has ears to hear with 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.
Afterwards, when he was alone, his followers and the Twelve asked him about his 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.
and he said: “To you the hidden truth of the Kingdom of God has been imparted; but to those who are outside it all teaching takes the form of parables, that —
‘Though they have eyes, they may see without perceiving; and though they have ears, they may hear without understanding; lest some day they should 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.
“You do not know the meaning of this parable!” he went on; “Then how will you understand all the other parables?
14 Mach, wɨram wit nor apororɨnd hamb ndɨn wɨram Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya eŋgwandari haremamp amar.
The sower sows the Message.
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.
The People meant by the seed that falls along the path are these — where the Message is sown, but, as soon as they have heard it, Satan immediately comes and carries away the Message that 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.
So, too, those meant by the seed sown on the rocky places are the people who, when they have heard the Message, at once accept it joyfully;
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, as they have no root, they stand only for a short time; and so, when trouble or persecution arises on account of the Message, they fall away at once.
18 Mach, osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg, ndɨŋ wit nor kɨrɨpahe ŋkɨraŋ ŋgorahɨrɨmŋgɨmɨr haremamp amar. Mbɨ ya han njɨhamŋgɨmɨr amar.
Those meant by the seed sown among the brambles are different; they are the people who hear the Message,
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 cares of life, and the glamour of wealth, and cravings for many other things come in and completely choke the Message, so that it gives no return. (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 the people meant by the seed sown on the good ground are those who hear the Message, and welcome it, and yield a return, thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.”
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.
And Jesus said to them: “Is a lamp brought to be put under the corn-measure or under the couch, instead of being 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.
Nothing is hidden unless it is some day to come to light, nor was anything ever kept hidden but that it should some day come into the light of day.
23 Wɨram njɨhinsɨnd hamb mbɨ njɨhamŋgɨz amar.
Let all who have ears to hear with 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.
Take care what you listen to,” said Jesus. “The measure you mete will be meted out to you, and more will be added for 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, to those who have, more will be given; while, from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.”
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: “This is what the Kingdom of God is like — like a man who has scattered 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.
and then sleeps by night and rises by day, while the seed is shooting up and growing — he knows not how.
28 Isavonaŋg raz kwerɨvoz ahe mach zɨŋ ampɨhamɨr amar. Ave mbɨ ohɨrare ñi apa ame nor ŋgwɨmɨr amar.
The ground bears the crop of itself — first the blade, then the ear, and 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.
but, as soon as the crop is ready, immediately he ‘puts in the sickle because 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.
Jesus also said: “To what can we liken the Kingdom of God?
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.
By what can we illustrate it? Perhaps by the growth of a mustard-seed. This seed, when sown in the ground, though it is smaller than all other seeds,
yet, when sown, shoots up, and becomes larger than any other herb, and puts out great branches, so that even ‘the wild birds can roost in its shelter.’”
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 used to speak to the people of his Message, 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 he never used to speak except in parables; but in private to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Mach, nanempand zuh razand, yuŋk haŋonaŋg, Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr sezɨrɨh mbanave kamar. Aimŋgɨn yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh ŋkiŋgɨŋ evahetom amar.
In the evening of the same day, Jesus said to them: “Let us go across.”
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 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.
A violent squall came on, and the waves kept dashing into the boat, so that the boat was actually filling.
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.
Jesus was in the stern asleep upon the cushion; and the disciples roused him and cried: “Teacher! is it nothing to you that we are lost?”
39 Mach az, Jisasɨv ŋaiahe uvika yambɨka han aŋkarɨpɨr ke mbanave kamar. Mach, ererɨvar amar. Hanɨhaz mach uvi hamb mazand yamb hamb enta maram.
Jesus rose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: “Hush! Be still!” Then the wind dropped, and a great calm followed.
40 Ave mbɨkɨr sezɨrɨh amarɨmar. Amɨ utɨndɨv ezandɨkŋɨmŋgɨn amar. Amɨ njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr mɨŋamŋgɨmbɨram amar.
“Why are you so timid?” he exclaimed. “Have you no faith yet?”
41 Az ndɨŋ zɨŋɨmb pɨrorɨŋgaz mbon ya mbon ya kamŋgɨmar. Wɨram mban uñɨman arɨmŋgɨmar. Mbɨ kaz uvika yambɨka hamb kɨrɨm mach ramŋgi arɨmŋgɨmar.
But they were struck with great awe, and said to one another: “Who can this be that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
