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.
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 A dursuzo nani imon gbardang nin tinan tigoldo, nan nya dursuzoe, a woro nani:
He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 Lanzan unan tibila wa nusu udu tibila.
“Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
4 Adi tibile, imong imus disso libau, aying da zoto ining.
As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Imong imus disso kupanbaran, bara usalin nmyin, imuse nuzu deidei, bara na nmyine wa di tendeleng.
Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Kube na uwui wa ghana, bara na nmyine wadi tendeleng kutyiene pya itunna ikoto.
When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Imon imus disso nan nya nimart. Na imarte kuno itunna iparda ining na ita iyip ba.
Others fell amongst the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
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.”
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 Aworo “Ulenge na adinin natuf in lanze na alanza.”
He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
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, those who were around him with the twelve asked him 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 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 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.”
that ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”
13 Aworo, “Na anung nyinno ko kugolde ba? Ibati iyiziari iyinin kagisin tigolde?
He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
14 Unan tibile wa bilsu uliru Kutellẹ.
The farmer sows the word.
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.
The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes 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;
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 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.
They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 Imong ilenge na iwa bilsu nan nya nimart. Inneghare wa lanza ulire.
Others are those who are sown amongst the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
19 nin nanere adadun inyi, nin tok kagisin nimon in yï, nin lanzu mmang parda ulire, itunna iso hem. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes 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.
Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”
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 said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand?
22 Na imoimon yeshin ilenge na iwaghya idira upune ba, sa imoimon nan nya sirti na iba diru unutune ikanang ba.
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 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.
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 Bara vat nle na adinin nimon iba kpinghe ku, ulenge na asalimun, kitime ima seru ilenge na adimun wang.”
For whoever has, to him more will be given; and he who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”
26 Yisa woro, “Kipin Tigö Kutellẹ masin fo unitari na awa bilsu imus kutein.
He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
27 Asa a nö nmoro afita kitik nin liring, imuse nuzu ikuno ame löng, na asa yiro nin tikunnanghe ba.
and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
28 Kutyiene asa kunutno imus nin litime ita ticilak, itunna nabaga, inin kunjo ida nutuno ati inin ta iyip.
For the earth bears fruit by itself: 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. “
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 Aworo, “iyapin imonari iba batu kipin tigoh Kutellẹ mun nin, tutung tiyapin tigoldori iba batizu mun?
He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
31 Timasin fo fiyip kukù, na iwa bilsu fi katin ko fiyapin fiyip nin cingiling na asa ibila kuttyien.
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 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 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 Nin tinan tigoldo gbardang nafo tone a bele nani uliru Kutellẹ, udu ligang longo na yiru ulanze.
With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear 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.
Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Lilole nin kuleleng aworo nani, channari ti kafi uleli uwule.”
On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over 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.
Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
37 Fiyilili nin funu udya tunna ufita nan nya kurawẹ, tikara nmyen tunnan pichu nan nya zirge utunna ulentina ukulu nin nmyen.
A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
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?”
He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?”
39 Na azinto, a kpada ufune, anin woro kurawe, ta shew, yisina tik.” Ufune tunna u kete, kurawe tunna kusina dang.
He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
40 Aworo nani nenge, “Bara iyaghari tå inani lanza fiu? Na iduu nin yinnu sa uyenu mine.”
He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have 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?”
They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
