< Marko 4 >
1 In zopet začne učiti ob morji. In zbere se pri njem mnogo ljudstva, toliko, da stopi v ladjo, ter je sedel na morji; in vse ljudstvo je bilo ob morji na tléh.
AND again he began to teach by the sea side: and a vast multitude was assembled about him, so that he went into a vessel to sit down on the sea, and all the multitude was on the land close by the sea.
2 In učil jih je v prilikah mnogo, in pravil jim je v nauku svojem:
And he taught them in parables many things, and said unto them in the course of his teaching,
3 Poslušajte! Glej, izšel je sejavec sejat.
Hear me! Behold, a sower went out to sow;
4 In zgodí se, ko je sejal, padlo je nekaj zrnja poleg ceste; in priletele so tice nebeške in ga pozobale.
and it came to pass as he sowed, some fell by the road side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up.
5 A drugo je padlo na skalnata tlá, kjer ni imelo mnogo zemlje, in precej je pognalo, ker ni imelo globoke zemlje.
And some fell on a rocky soil, where it had not much mold, and immediately it sprung up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 Ko je pa solnce vzšlo, ovenelo je; in ker ni imelo korenine, usahnilo je.
and when the sun arose it was scorched up; and because it had not root, it withered away.
7 In drugo je padlo v trnje. In trnje je zrastlo in ga udušilo; in ni dalo sadú.
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it, and it produced no fruit.
8 In drugo je padlo na dobro zemljo, in dajalo je sad, kteri je rastel in se množil, in rodilo je po trideset, in po šestdeset, in po sto.
And some fell on good ground, and produced fruit, growing up, and increasing, and yielded one part thirty fold, and another sixty, and another an hundred.
9 In reče jim: Kdor ima ušesa, da sliši, naj sliši!
And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Ko je pa ostal sam, vprašajo ga tisti, kteri so bili pri njem z dvanajsterimi, za to priliko.
But when they were alone, those who were about him with the twelve, asked him the meaning of the parable.
11 Pa jim reče: Vam je dano, da spoznate skrivnost kraljestva Božjega; onim pa, ki so zunej, godí se vse v prilikah;
And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are without, all things are in parables:
12 Da vidijo in gledajo, pa ne ugledajo; in slišijo ter poslušajo, pa ne umejo; da se ne bi kedaj spreobrnili, in bi se jim odpustili grehi.
That seeing they may see, yet not perceive; and hearing may hear, yet not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them.
13 In reče jim: Ne umete li te prilike? a kako boste vse prilike umeli?
And he saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all parables?
The sower soweth the word.
15 Ti so pa, ki so poleg ceste: kjer se seje beseda, in so jo slišali, precej pride satan in vzeme besedo, ktera je posejana v njih srca,
Now these are they by the road side; where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan cometh, and taketh away the word sown on their hearts:
16 In enako so ti, ki so na skalnata tlá posejani: kteri besedo, ki so jo slišali, precej z veseljem sprejmó;
and these in like manner are they who were sown on the rocky soil; who when they have heard the word, instantly with joy receive it;
17 Pa nimajo korenine v sebi, nego so nestanovitni; potem ko nastane stiska ali preganjanje za voljo besede, pohujšujejo se precej.
and have no root in themselves, but are temporary professors: afterwards, when tribulation cometh or persecution for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
18 In ti so, ki so v trnje posejani: ti so, kteri besedo slišijo;
And those are the sown among the thorns; such as are hearers of the word;
19 Pa skrbí tega sveta, in ničemurnost bogastva, in druge slasti se prikradejo, in udušé besedo, in brez sadú je. (aiōn )
but the anxious cares of this world, and the seducing nature of wealth, and inordinate desires after other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn )
20 In ti so, ki so na dobro zemljo posejani: kteri besedo poslušajo in sprejemajo, ter prinašajo sad, po trideset, in po šestdeset, in po sto.
And these are they who are sown on the good ground, such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
21 In reče jim; Prižiga li se sveča, da se pod mernik postavi ali pod posteljo? a ne, da se na svečnik postavi?
And he said unto them, Is a lamp brought out to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not to be placed on a stand?
22 Kajti nič ni skrivnega, kar se ne bi razodelo; in nič ni tako skritega, da ne bi prišlo na svetlo.
For there is nothing hid, but that it should be brought to light, nor is any thing concealed, but that it should come into open day.
23 Če ima kdo ušesa, da sliši, naj sliši!
If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
24 In reče jim: Pomislite, kaj slišite! S kakoršno mero boste merili, merilo se bo vam, in pridalo se bo vam, ki poslušate.
And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with the measure ye mete, shall it be measured back to you; and something over shall be given to you that hear.
25 Kajti kdor ima, dalo mu se bo; a kdor nima, odvzelo mu se bo tudi to, ka ima.
For to him that hath, there shall more be given to him; but he that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.
26 In reče: Tako je kraljestvo Božje, kakor človek, če vrže seme v zemljo,
And he said, The kingdom of heaven is of that kind, as if a man should cast seed into his field;
27 In spí in vstaja po noči in po dnevu, in seme poganja, in raste, da ne vé on.
and sleep and rise, night and day, and the sown corn should sprout, and grow into length, he knoweth not how:
28 Kajti zemlja sama od sebe rodí, najprej travo, potem klas, potem polno pšenico v klasu.
for the earth, naturally prolific, beareth fruit; first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear.
29 Ko pa sad dozorí, precej pošlje srp; kajti nastala je žetev.
But when the grain is ready, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because harvest is come.
30 In reče: Komu bomo primerili kraljestvo Božje? ali v kakošnej priliki ga bomo upodobili?
And he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God, and under what parabolic figure shall I represent it?
31 Ono je, kakor zrno gorušično, ktero je, ko se vseje v zemljo, manjše od vseh semen, ktera so na zemlji;
It is like a grain of mustard, which when it is sown in the earth, is among the least of all the seeds which are upon the earth:
32 In ko je vsejano, raste, in postane veče od vseh zelišč, in dela velike veje, da se morejo pod senco njegovo tice nebeške nastanjevati.
but when it is sown, it groweth up and becomes greater than all herbaceous plants, and produceth vast branches; so that the birds of the air may roost under the shadow of it.
33 In v mnogih takošnih prilikah jim je govoril besedo, ko so jo mogli poslušati.
And with many such like parables spake he to them the word.
34 Brez prilike jim pa ni govoril; a posebej je učencem svojim razlagal vse.
And without a parable spake he not unto them; but in private he explained them all to his disciples.
35 In reče jim tisti dan, ko se je zvečerilo: Prepeljimo se na oni kraj.
And the same day he saith unto them, as the evening shut in, Let us pass over to the other side.
36 In zapustivši ljudstvo, vzemó ga, kakor je bil v ladji; bile so pa tudi druge ladjice ž njim.
And sending the multitude away, they took him just as he was in the vessel; and there were also some other little vessels with him.
37 Kar nastane vélik vihar od vetra; in valovi so se vlivali v ladjo, da se je uže napolnjevala.
And a great hurricane arose, and the waves broke into the vessel, so that it was now full of water:
38 In on je bil na krmi, spé na vzglavji; in zbudé ga, in rekó mu: Učenik, ali ti ni nič mar, da pogibamo?
and he was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow: and they awoke him, and say unto him, Master, is it no concern to thee that we are perishing?
39 In vstavši, zapretí vetru, in reče morju; Umolkni, umiri se! In nehal je veter, in nastala je velika tihota.
And rising, he with authority charged the wind, and said to the sea, Silence! be still! And the wind subsided, and there was a great calm.
40 In reče jim: Kaj ste tako plašni? Kako, da nimate vere?
And he said to them, Why are ye so timorous? How is it that ye have not confidence?
41 In uplašili so se z velikim strahom, in govorili so med seboj: Kdo vendar je ta, da sta mu tudi veter in morje pokorna?
And they were filled with the most reverential awe, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
