Maarqos 4
1 Yesuus ammas qarqara galaanichaatti barsiisuu jalqabe. Tuunni naannoo isaatti walitti qabame akka malee guddaa ture; utuu namoonni hundi qarqara galaanichaa irra afaan bishaanii jiranuu, inni bidiruu yaabbatee galaanicha irra achi hiiqee taaʼe.
Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.
2 Fakkeenyaanis waan baayʼee isaan barsiise; barsiisa isaa keessattis akkana jedhe:
He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 “Mee dhagaʼaa! Kunoo, namichi sanyii facaasu tokko sanyii facaafachuu baʼe.
“Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow,
4 Utuu inni facaasaa jiruus sanyiin tokko tokko karaa irra buʼe; simbirroonnis dhufanii nyaatanii fixan.
and as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Kaan immoo lafa kattaa, iddoo biyyoo baayʼee hin qabne irra buʼe. Sanyiin sunis sababii biyyoon sun gad fageenya hin qabaatiniif dafee biqile.
Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Yommuu aduun baatetti garuu biqiltuun sun ni coollage; waan hidda hin qabaatiniifis ni goge.
When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Sanyiin biraas qoraattii keessa buʼe; qoraattiin sunis guddatee biqiltuu sana hudhe; biqiltuun sunis ija hin naqanne.
Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Ammas sanyiin kaan biyyoo gaarii irra buʼe. Ni biqile; ni guddate; ijas ni naqate. Inni tokko soddoma, kaan jaatama, kaan immoo dhibba naqate.”
Others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”
9 Yesuusis, “Namni gurra dhagaʼu qabu kam iyyuu haa dhagaʼu” jedhe.
He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him sh'ma ·hear obey·.”
10 Yeroo inni kophaa turettis warri Kudha Lamaanii fi namoonni naannoo isaa turan biraa waaʼee fakkeenya sanaa isa gaafatan.
When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 Innis akkana jedheen; “Icciitiin mootummaa Waaqaa isiniif kennameera. Warra ala jiranitti garuu wanni hundinuu fakkeenyaan himama;
He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
12 kunis, “‘Isaan akka hin deebinee fi akka dhiifama hin arganneef, arguu inuma argu, garuu hin qalbeeffatan; dhagaʼuus inuma dhagaʼu, garuu hin hubatan.’”
that ‘they may be always looking but never seeing; always listening but never understanding. Otherwise, they might turn and their sins ·concrete evil deeds that misses the mark and is without share in the goal· be forgiven.’”
13 Yesuusis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin fakkeenya kana hin hubattanii? Yoos isin akkamitti fakkeenya hunda hubattu ree?
He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
14 Namichi sanyii facaasu sun dubbicha facaasa.
The farmer sows the word.
15 Namoonni tokko tokko sanyii karaa irraa, lafa dubbichi itti facaafame sana fakkaatu. Akkuma isaan dubbicha dhagaʼaniin Seexanni dhufee dubbicha isaan keessatti facaafame sana fudhata.
The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan [Adversary] comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
16 Warri kaan akkuma sanyii lafa kattaa irratti facaafamee ti; isaan yommuu dubbicha dhagaʼanitti yommusuma gammachuun fudhatu.
These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
17 Garuu isaan waan hidda hin qabneef yeroo gabaabaa qofa turu. Yeroo rakkinni yookaan ariʼatamni sababii dubbichaatiif dhufutti isaan dafanii gufatu.
They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they are scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·.
18 Ammas warri kaan sanyii qoraattii keessatti facaafame fakkaatu; isaanis warra dubbicha dhagaʼanii dha;
Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
19 garuu yaaddoon addunyaa kanaa, gowwoomsaan qabeenyaatii fi hawwiin waan garaa garaa isaan seenee dubbicha hudhee ija naqachuu dhowwa. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the epithumia ·lusts· of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Warri kaanis sanyii biyyoo gaarii irratti facaafame fakkaatu; isaanis dubbicha ni dhagaʼu; ni fudhatu; ijas ni naqatu; inni tokko soddoma, kaan jaatama, kaan immoo dhibba naqata.”
Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”
21 Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin ibsaa gombisaa jala yookaan siree jala kaaʼuuf fidduu? Qooda kanaa baattuu isaa irra keessu mitii?
He said to them, “Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is not it put on a stand?
22 Wanni dhokfame kam iyyuu mulʼifamuuf jiraatii; wanni haguugame kam iyyuus ifatti baafamuuf jiraatii.
For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.
23 Namni kam iyyuu yoo gurra dhagaʼu qabaate haa dhagaʼu.”
If any man has ears to hear, let him sh'ma ·hear obey·.”
24 Innis itti fufee akkana jedheen; “Waan dhageessan qalbeeffadhaa. Safartuu ittiin safartaniinis, hammas caalaa iyyuu isiniif safarama.
He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you who hear.
25 Kan qabu kamiif iyyuu itti dabalamee ni kennama; kan hin qabne garuu wanni inni qabu iyyuu irraa fudhatama.”
For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”
26 Ammas akkana jedhe; “Mootummaan Waaqaa nama lafa isaa irratti sanyii facaasu tokko fakkaata.
He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
27 Akkamitti akka taʼe namichi beekuu baatu illee, inni rafus yookaan dammaqus, sanyiin sun halkanii guyyaa ni biqila; ni guddatas.
and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he does not know how.
28 Lafti ofuma isheetiin midhaan baafti; jalqabatti biqila, itti aansee hudhaa midhaanii, ergasii immoo midhaan guutuu baafti.
For the earth bears fruit: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Namichis akkuma midhaanichi bilchaateen haamuu jalqaba; yeroon haamaa gaʼeeraatii.”
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 Ammas inni akkana jedhe; “Mootummaan Waaqaa maal fakkaata jechuu dandeenya? Yookaan fakkeenya maaliitiin isa ibsina?
He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
31 Inni sanyii sanaaficaa kan sanyiiwwan lafa irra jiran hunda irra xinnaa taʼe fakkaata.
It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,
32 Erga facaafamee booddee garuu guddatee biqiltuu hunda caala; dameewwan gurguddaa simbirroonnis gaaddisa isaa jala jiraachuu dandaʼanis qabaata.”
yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”
33 Yesuusis fakkeenyawwan akkanaa baayʼeedhaan hamma isaan dhagaʼuu dandaʼan dubbicha isaanitti dubbate.
With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 Innis fakkeenyaan malee waan tokko illee isaanitti hin dubbanne. Yeroo kophaa turanitti garuu waan hunda barattoota isaatiif ni ibse.
Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Inni gaafas, yeroo galgalaaʼetti, “Kottaa gama ceenaa” isaaniin jedhe.
On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
36 Isaanis tuuta namootaa sana achitti dhiisanii Yesuusin akkuma inni bidiruu keessa jirutti fuudhanii deeman. Bidiruuwwan biraas isa wajjin turan.
Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
37 Bubbeen hamaan tokko ni kaʼe; dambaliinis bidiruu sana dhaʼee bidiruun sun bishaaniin guutamuu gaʼe.
A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 Yesuusis bidiruu sana keessa karaa duubaa boraatii tokko irra rafaa ture. Barattoonnis isa dammaqsanii, “Yaa barsiisaa, dhumuun keenya homaa si hin dhibuu?” jedhaniin.
He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, don’t you care that we are dying?”
39 Innis kaʼee bubbee sana ifate; dambalii sanaanis, “Calʼisi! Gab jedhis!” jedhe. Bubbeen sunis ni calʼise; tasgabbiin guddaanis ni taʼe.
He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Innis barattoota isaatiin, “Isin maaliif akkana sodaattu? Isin amma iyyuu amantii hin qabdanii?” jedhe.
He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no trusting faith?”
41 Isaanis akka malee sodaatanii, “Namichi bubbee fi dambaliin iyyuu ajajamaniif kun eenyu?” jedhanii wal gaafatan.
They were greatly afraid, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
