Mareko 4
1 Mme boidiidi jwa batho jo bo senang palo jwa mo dikaganyetsa mo lotshitshing fa a ntse a ruta, hong a tsena mo mokorong a nna fa fatshe a bua a le mo teng ga one.
And he began again to teach by the sea-side: and there was gathered to him a great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea, on the land.
2 Mokgwa wa gagwe wa gale wa go ruta e ne e le go bolelela batho dipolelo. Nngwe ya tsone e tsamaile jaana:
And he taught them many things by parables, and said to them in his doctrine,
3 “Reetsang! Molemi o kile a ikaelela go jala peo. Mme ya re a e gasa mo tshimong ya gagwe,
Hearken; Behold, a sower went out to sow:
4 nngwe ya yone ya wela mo tseleng, mme dinonyane tsa tla tsa e sela tsa e e ja.
And it came to pass as he sowed, some fell by the way-side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it.
5 Nngwe ya yone ya wela mo mmung o mosesane fa go neng go ikadile lefika teng. Ya gola ka bonako, mme ya akofa ya swabisiwa ke mogote wa letsatsi ya a swa, ka ntlha ya gore medi ya yone e ne e sa otlega sentle mo mmung o o seng boteng.
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth.
But when the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Tse dingwe dipeo tsa wela mo mitlweng, mme mitlwa ya gola ya hupetsa dijalo tse di potlana, jalo tsa se ka tsa ungwa,
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 “Mme tse dingwe tsa wela mo mmung o o molemo, tsa ungwa ga masome a mararo tsa ata go fetisa jaaka a ne a jetse, dingwe tsa tsone tsa ungwa ga masome a marataro kgotsa lekgolo.
And other fell on good ground, and yielded fruit that sprang up, and increased, and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred.
9 Fa lo na le ditsebe, reetsang!”
And he said to them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Mme morago ga moo fa a le esi le ba ba lesome le bobedi le bangwe ba barutwa ba gagwe, ba mmotsa ba re, “Polelo ya gago e raya eng?”
And when he was alone, they that were about him, with the twelve, asked of him the parable.
11 Mme a ba araba a re, “Lo letleletswe go itse boammaaruri ka ga Bogosi jwa Modimo jo bo fitlhetsweng ba ba kwa ntle ga Bogosi: jaaka Moporofiti Isaia a bolela a re, ‘Le fa ba bona ebile ba utlwa ga ba kitla ba tlhaloganya, kgotsa ba sokologela mo Modimong kgotsa ba itshwarelwa dibe tsa bone.’
And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all [these] things are done in parables:
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and [their] sins should be forgiven them.
13 “Mme fa lo se ka ke lwa tlhaloganya setshwantsho se se motlhofo se, lo tlaa dira jang kaga tse dingwe tse ke yang go di bolela.
And he said to them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
14 Molemi yo ke neng ke bua ka ga gagwe ke mongwe yo o lereditseng batho molaetsa wa Modimo, a leka go jala peo e e siameng mo matshelong a bone.
The sower soweth the word.
15 Tsela e e thata, fa go wetseng peo nngwe teng e tshwantshiwa le bopelo-e-thata jwa batho bangwe ba ba utlwang lefoko la Modimo; mme e re ka bofefo Satane a tle a leke go ba lebatsa lefoko.
And these are they by the way-side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 Mme mmu o o lokgwarapana o tshwantshiwa le dipelo tsa batho ba ba utlwang molaetsa ka boitumelo,
And these are they likewise who are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17 mme jaaka ditlhatshana tse di mo mmung o o ntseng jalo, medi ya tsone ga e tsenelele mo teng, le fa, lwa ntlha di gola sentle, ere ka bonako fa matshwenyego a simologa di korobele.
And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they relapse.
18 “Mmu o o mitlwa ke sesupo sa dipelo tsa batho ba ba reetsang Mafoko a a Molemo ba bo ba a amogela,
And these are they who are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19 mme ka bofefo dithato tsa lefatshe le menate ya mahumo le go batla go tswelela pele le go eletsa dilo tse dintle go tsene ka bofefo mme go kgoreletse molaetsa wa Modimo mo dipelong tsa bone mme go seke go nne loungo lope. (aiōn g165)
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 “Mme mmu o o molemo o tshwantshiwa le dipelo tsa batho ba ba amogelang molaetsa wa Modimo ka boammaaruri, mme ba ungwele Modimo thobo e ntsi thata, ba ungwe ga masome a mararo le ga masome a le marataro le ga lekgolo tota go gaisa jaaka go jetswe mo dipelong tsa bone.”
And these are they who are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirty-fold, some sixty, and some a hundred.
21 Hong a ba botsa a re, “Fa mongwe a tshuba lobone, a o lo baya ka fa tlase ga tafole gore lo fitlhe lesedi? Go ka se nne jalo! Lesedi ga le ka ke la bonwa kgotsa la dirisiwa. Lobone lo siametse go bewa mo setlhomong go bonesa le go nna le mosola.
And he said to them, Is a candle brought to be put under a close vessel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 Gonne sengwe le sengwe se se fitlhegileng letsatsi lengwe se tlaa nna mo leseding.
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither hath any thing been kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23 Fa lo na le ditsebe, reetsang!
If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
24 Mme gape tlhomamisang lo dirise se lo se utlwang. Gantsi fa lo dira jalo, lo tlaa kgona go tlhaloganya thata se ke se lo bolelelang.
And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear: With the measure which ye give, it shall be measured to you: and to you that hear shall more be given.
25 Mme yo o nang le sengwe o tlaa newa; mme yo o senang sepe o tlaa tseelwa le se o nang le sone tota.
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
26 Setshwantsho sengwe ke se, se se supang gore bogosi jwa Modimo bo ntse jang: Molemi o kile a jala peo mo tshimong ya gagwe,
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27 mme a tsamaya, ya re malatsi a ntse a feta, dijalo tsa gola kwa ntle ga tlhokomelo ya gagwe.
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28 Gonne mmu o ne o godisa dijalo. La ntlha mogwang wa tswa, diako tsa tlhoga, mme morago mabele a butswa.
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of itself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 Hong molemi a tla ka thipa ya gagwe a akofa a roba.”
But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 Mme Jesu a ba botsa a re, “Ke ka tshwantsha Bogosi jwa Modimo jang? Ke ka dirisa polelo efe go bo tshwantsha?
And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31 Bo tshwana le peo ya mosetara! Le ntswa e le nngwe ya dipeo tse di potlana, e gola e nna nngwe ya ditlhare tse di tona thata, e nne le dikala tse di telele mo dinonyane di ka agang dintlhaga tsa tsone teng mme tsa sireletsega.”
[It is] like a grain of mustard-seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth.
But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under its shade.
33 O ne a dirisa ditshwantsho di le dintsi tse di ntseng jalo go ruta batho ka fa ba ka kgonang go tlhaloganya ka teng.
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear [it].
34 Legale, o ne a ruta fela ka ditshwantsho fa a ruta mo pepeneneng, mme e re morago ga moo, fa a le esi le barutwa ba gagwe a simolole go ba di tlhalosetsa.
But without a parable he spoke not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
35 Mme ya re mo maitseboeng, Jesu a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “A re tsheleleng ka kwa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha.”
And the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side.
36 Hong ba mo tsaya, ba tswelela, ba tlogela bontsi jwa batho (le fa mekoro e mengwe e ne ya ba sala morago).
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the boat. And there were also with him other small boats.
37 Mme ya re ka bonako matsubutsubu a magolo a phefo a tsoga. Makhubu a metse a simolola go tlolela mo mokorong go fitlhelela metse a tlala mo mokorong ebile o tloga o nwela.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full.
38 Jesu o ne a robetse kwa motsheo ga mokoro a samile mosamo. Mme ka bonako ba mo tsosa ka letshogo le legolo ba re, “Moruti, a ga o tshwenyege le fa re tloga re nwela rotlhe?”
And he was in the hinder part of the boat, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 Hong a kgalemela phefo a raya lewatle a re, “Didimala!” Mme phefo ya didimala, ga ba ga nna tuulalo e kgolo!
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still: and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Mme a ba botsa a re, “Lo ne lo tshositswe ke eng? A le jaana ga lo ise lo bo lo inkanye?”
And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 Mme ba tlala poifo thata ba ipotsa ba re, “Monna yo ke mang, yo diphefo le mawatle di mo utlwang?”
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
