Markos 4
1 Guero berriz has cedin iracasten itsas bazterrean: eta bil cedin harengana gendetze handi, hala non bera vncira sarthuric, iarriric baitzegoen itsassoan: eta populu gucia itsas costan leihorrean cen.
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 Eta iracasten cerauen comparationez anhitz gauça, eta erraiten cerauen bere doctrinán,
He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 Ençun eçaçue, Huná, ereillebat ilki cedin ereitara.
“Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
4 Eta guertha cedin ereitean, partebat eror baitzedin bide bazterrera, eta ethor citecen ceruco choriac, eta irets ceçaten hura.
As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Eta berce partebat eror cedin leku harriçuetara, non ezpaitzuen lur anhitzic: eta bertan ilki cedin, ceren ezpaitzuen lur barnetassunic.
Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Baina iguzquia goratu cenean, erre cedin: eta ceren erroric ezpaitzuen, eyhar cedin.
When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Eta berce partebat eror cedin elhorri artera, eta elhorriac handi citecen, eta itho ceçaten hura, eta etzeçan fructuric eman.
Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Eta bercea eror cedin lur-onera, eta eman ceçan fructu goratzen eta handitzen cenic, eta ekar ceçan bihi batac hoguey eta hamar, eta berceac hiruroguey, eta berceac ehun.
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 Orduan erran ciecén, Ençuteco beharriric duenac, ençun beça.
He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 Eta bera cela, interroga ceçaten haren inguruän hamabiequin ciradenéc, comparationeaz.
When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 Eta erran ciecén, Çuey eman çaiçue Iaincoaren resumaco secretuaren eçagutzea: baina lekorean diradeney comparationez gauça guciac tractatzen çaizte:
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 Dacussatela ikus deçatençat, eta eztaquizquión ohart: eta dançutela ençun deçaten, eta adi ezteçaten: conuerti eztitecen eta bekatuac barka ez taquizquién.
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 Eta erran ciecen, Eztaquiçue comparatione haur? Eta nolatan comparatione guciac eçagutiren dituçue?
He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
14 Ereilleac hitza ereiten du.
The farmer sows the word.
15 Bada hauc dirade bide bazterrera hacia recebitzen dutenac, ceinétan ereiten baita hitza: baina ençun dutenean, bertan ethorten da Satan, eta kencen du hayen bihotzetan erein cen hitza.
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 Eta hauc dirade halaber leku harriçuetara hacia recebitzen dutenac: eta ençun dutenean hitza, bertan bozcariorequin recebitzen dute hura.
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 Eta eztute erroric berac baithan, baina iraute gutitaco dirade: guero heltzen denean tribulationeric edo persecutioneric hitzagatic, bertan scandalizatzen dirade.
They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 Eta hauc dirade elhorri artera hacia recebitzen dutenac, hauc dirade, diot, hacia ençuten dutenac:
Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
19 Baina mundu hunetaco ansiéc, eta abrastassunezco enganioac, eta berce gaucetaco guthiciéc barneraric ithotzen dute hitza, eta fructu gabetzen da. (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 Eta hauc dirade lur onera hacia recebitu dutenac, ceinéc hitza ençuten baitute, eta recebitzen, eta fructu ekarten, batac hoguey eta hamar, eta berceac hiruroguey, eta berceac ehun.
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 Erran ciecén halaber, Ala candela ekarten da gaitzurupean, edo ohapean eçar dadinçat? eza candelerean eçar dadinçat?
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 Ecen ezta deus secreturic aguerturen eztenic, edo estal ahal daitenic: baina campora ethorri behar da.
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 Baldin nehorc ençuteco beharriric badu, ençun beça.
If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 Guehiago erran ciecén, Gogoauçue cer ençuten duçuen: cer neurriz neurturen baituçue, neurturen çaiçue, eta emendaturen çaiçue, çuey ençuten duçuenoy.
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 Ecen duenari, emanen çayó: eta deusic eztuenari, duena-ere edequiren çayó.
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 Guehiago erraiten çuen, Iaincoaren resumá da, guiçón hacia lurrera egotziric gau eta egun lo etzaten eta iaiquiten liçaten baten ançora.
He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
27 Eta hacia ilkiten eta hatzen licén, harc ezlaquiala nola,
and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
28 Ecen bere buruz lurrac fructu ekarten du, behin belhar, guero buru, guero ogui bihi bethea buruän.
For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Eta aguertu denean fructua, bertan guiçonac du eçarten iguiteyá: ceren prest baita vztá.
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 Guero cioen, Cer irudi duela erranen dugu Iaincoaren resumác? edo cer comparationez comparaturen dugu hura?
He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
31 Hura da mustarda haci bihibat beçala, cein lurrean ereiten denean, baita lurrean diraden haci gucietaco chipiena:
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 Baina erein den ondoan, goratzen da, eta berce belhar gucietaco handiena eguiten da: eta adar handiac eguiten ditu hala non ceruco choriec ohatzeac eguin ahal baititzaqueizte haren itzalean.
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 Eta anhitz hunelaco comparationez tractatzen cerauen hitza, ençun ahal ciroitenaren araura.
With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 Eta comparatione gabe etzayen minçatzen: baina appartean bere discipuluey declaratzen cerauzten gauça guciac.
Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Eta erran ciecén egun hartan, arrastu cenean, Iragan gáitecen vraren berce aldera.
On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
36 Eta populua vtziric har ceçaten hura vncian cen beçala: baina berce vncitchoac-ere baciraden harequin.
Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
37 Orduan altcha cedin haice buhumba handibat, eta bagác sartzen ciraden vncira, hala non ia bethatzen baitzén.
A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 Eta hura vnciaren guibeleco aldean cetzan lo bururdi baten gainean: orduan iratzartzen dute, eta diotsate, Magistruá, eztuc ansiaric ceren galduac goacen?
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 Eta iratzarri cenean mehatcha ceçan haicea, eta erran cieçón itsassoari, Ichil adi, eta gueldi adi. Orduan cessa cedin haicea, eta tranquilitate handi eguin cedin.
He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
40 Eta erran ciecén Cergatic çarete horrela icior? nola eztuçue federic?
He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
41 Eta ici citecen icidura handiz: eta erraiten çuten elkarren artean, Baina nor da haur, haiceac eta itsassoac, ere obeditzen baitute?
They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
