Markos 4
1 Tutung acizina udursuzu nani nbiu kuli. igozi nanit gbardang kilinghe, apira nan nya zirgin nmyen acha-chana udu nan nya kule, aso nan nye. Vat ligonzighe wa di mbiu kule.
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 A dursuzo nani imon gbardang nin tinan tigoldo, nan nya dursuzoe, a woro nani:
Then he began teaching them in parables many things. In his teaching he said to them.
3 Lanzan unan tibila wa nusu udu tibila.
"Listen! the Sower once went out to sow,
4 Adi tibile, imong imus disso libau, aying da zoto ining.
and as he sowed, it happened that some seed fell on the road, and birds came and picked it up;
5 Imong imus disso kupanbaran, bara usalin nmyin, imuse nuzu deidei, bara na nmyine wa di tendeleng.
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 Kube na uwui wa ghana, bara na nmyine wadi tendeleng kutyiene pya itunna ikoto.
but when the sun rose it was scorched and withered away because it had no root.
7 Imon imus disso nan nya nimart. Na imarte kuno itunna iparda ining na ita iyip ba.
Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked it, so that it yielded no crop.
8 Imon iyip disso kutyen kucine ikunjo ini yatina ita kpasharak. ining macha ita iyoli, imon akut atat, imon akut kutocin, imon akalt-akalt ikata intibile.”
But some seed fell into good soil and yielded a crop that sprang up and increased, yielding thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.
9 Aworo “Ulenge na adinin natuf in lanze na alanza.”
"Any one who has ears to hear," he added, "let him listen to this."
10 Kube na Yisa wa di usamme, ale na iwa di susut ligowe nighe nin nono katwa me likure nin nan waba itiringhe tigoldo tone.
When he was alone his followers and the Twelve began asking about the parables.
11 A woro nani, “Anunghere ina ni minu uyiru nimon ilenvge na iyeshin kipin tigo Kutellẹ. Inung ale na idin das ko iyeme imon mine se nin tinnan tigoldo,
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,
12 Bara uyenje, eh ba yenju, vat nani iba yenu ba, bara ulanzu, eh ba lanzu, vat nani na iba yinnu ba, bara iwa kpilin kiti Kutellẹ akusu nani.”
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 Aworo, “Na anung nyinno ko kugolde ba? Ibati iyiziari iyinin kagisin tigolde?
"You do not understand this parable," said Jesus. "Then how will you understand the other parables?
14 Unan tibile wa bilsu uliru Kutellẹ.
"What the Sower sows is the Word. There are those ‘on the wayside’ where the Word is sown.
15 Imus ilenge na iwa dissu libau, inughere alenge na iwa lanza uliru Kutellẹ itunna isere deidei, asa Shetan nnin da nin kujijing me abolo ulire nan nya nibinayi mine.
As soon as they hear it, Satan immediately comes and snatches away the Word which has been sown in them.
16 Inughere ilenge na iwa dissu kitene kupanbara, inughe wa lanza uliru Kutellẹ asa itunna isere unin deidei nin nayi-abo;
And like the sowing upon ‘stony ground’ are those who, whenever they hear the Word, at once receive it with joy,
17 Na iwa di nin tiling liyisin nin nakara ba, asa itere ayi nin kabiri båt; na licin nin niu nda bara ulire itunna isarta ideo.
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 Imong ilenge na iwa bilsu nan nya nimart. Inneghare wa lanza ulire.
There are others who are ‘sown among thorns.’
19 nin nanere adadun inyi, nin tok kagisin nimon in yï, nin lanzu mmang parda ulire, itunna iso hem. (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 Ilenge na iwa bilsu kutein kucine, inneghare ilenge na iwa lanza uliru Kutellẹ isere nin liwui lirum imaca gbardang, imong akut atat, imong akut kutocin imon akalt akalt ikata intibile.
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 Yisa woro nani, “uwa ti ula inpitilla asa ucheu unin nan nya kukuzughare sa nan nya lii. komi? Asa utarda unin in tadangha.
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 Na imoimon yeshin ilenge na iwaghya idira upune ba, sa imoimon nan nya sirti na iba diru unutune ikanang ba.
There is nothing hidden except what is to be disclosed, and nothing concealed except what is to be revealed.
23 Ulenge na adinin natuf nlanze, na alanza.
If any man has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 Aworo nani, “Dinan atuf nimon ile na idin lanzu, kuyangi ko na uguro mun, kunnare iba guru fi mun ukuru use gbardang wang.
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 Bara vat nle na adinin nimon iba kpinghe ku, ulenge na asalimun, kitime ima seru ilenge na adimun wang.”
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 Yisa woro, “Kipin Tigö Kutellẹ masin fo unitari na awa bilsu imus kutein.
"It is with the kingdom of God," he continued, "as if a man should have sown seed in the earth;
27 Asa a nö nmoro afita kitik nin liring, imuse nuzu ikuno ame löng, na asa yiro nin tikunnanghe ba.
night and day he sleeps and wakes while the seed is sprouting and growing tall, he knows not how.
28 Kutyiene asa kunutno imus nin litime ita ticilak, itunna nabaga, inin kunjo ida nutuno ati inin ta iyip.
Of its own accord the earth bears its crops; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Kubi ko na ilewe inyini, ata mass ayira kuwatan a basa bara na kubin basu. “
Then as soon as the crop is ready the man has the sickle put in at once, because harvest-time is come.
30 Aworo, “iyapin imonari iba batu kipin tigoh Kutellẹ mun nin, tutung tiyapin tigoldori iba batizu mun?
"To what shall we compare the kingdom of God?" he said again. "in what parable shall we set it forth?
31 Timasin fo fiyip kukù, na iwa bilsu fi katin ko fiyapin fiyip nin cingiling na asa ibila kuttyien.
It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the soil, is the smallest seed in the world;
32 Vat iwa bilu fining nani fi nuzu, asa fi kuno, fita kucha ku dyå fi kata acha vat nan nya kunene. Asa kuta tilang jakaka kang na agyin kitene kani wang asa ida ke tido mine nan nya nshine.”
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 Nin tinan tigoldo gbardang nafo tone a bele nani uliru Kutellẹ, udu ligang longo na yiru ulanze.
With many such illustrations Jesus used to tell his message to people as far as they were able to receive it;
34 Nin nani na awa sunani uliru sa tinang tigoldo ba. Nin nani ame ligowe nin nono katwa mere cas asa apuno nani ncasarak nlire.
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 Lilole nin kuleleng aworo nani, channari ti kafi uleli uwule.”
On the evening of that same day Jesus said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."
36 Itunna igya isuna ligozinghe. Nono katwa me gya ligowe naghe nan nya zirgin nmyen, bara asosin nan nya ligowe nanghinu. Ntong tizirgin nmyen wang ligowe waduku.
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 Fiyilili nin funu udya tunna ufita nan nya kurawẹ, tikara nmyen tunnan pichu nan nya zirge utunna ulentina ukulu nin nmyen.
But a great gale of wind came up, and the waves were dashing into the boat so that it began to fill.
38 Ame Yisa wana din nmoro nan nya kadasi nzirge. Itunna ifyghe inin din sughe nenge, “Unan dursuzu nanit, tiba ku nan nya zirgi ulele afe nmora?”
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 Na azinto, a kpada ufune, anin woro kurawe, ta shew, yisina tik.” Ufune tunna u kete, kurawe tunna kusina dang.
And he awoke, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!"
40 Aworo nani nenge, “Bara iyaghari tå inani lanza fiu? Na iduu nin yinnu sa uyenu mine.”
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 Fiu fidya wa kifo nani iworo nati mine, “imusin yapin unitari ulele di, na ufunu nin kurawa wang din dortu uliru me?”
Then they were awestruck, and said one to another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey him!"
