Mark 4
1 And, again, began he to be teaching by the sea; and there come together unto him a very great multitude, so that, he, into a boat, entering, was sitting upon the sea, —and, all the multitude, were, near the sea upon the land.
Et iterum cœpit docere ad mare: et congregata est ad eum turba multa, ita ut navim ascendens sederet in mari, et omnis turba circa mare super terram erat:
2 And he began to teach them, in parables, many things, and was saying unto them, in his teaching—
et docebat eos in parabolis multa, et dicebat illis in doctrina sua:
3 Hearken! Lo! the sower went forth to sow;
Audite: ecce exiit seminans ad seminandum.
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell by the pathway, and the birds came, and devoured it;
Et dum seminat, aliud cecidit circa viam, et venerunt volucres cæli, et comederunt illud.
5 And, some, fell on the rocky places, [even] where it had not much earth, —and, straightway, it sprang forth, by reason of its not having depth of earth;
Aliud vero cecidit super petrosa, ubi non habuit terram multam: et statim exortum est, quoniam non habebat altitudinem terræ:
6 and, when the sun arose, it was scorched, —and, by reason of its not having root, it was dried up;
et quando exortus est sol, exæstuavit: et eo quod non habebat radicem, exaruit.
7 And, some, fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and, fruit, it yielded not;
Et aliud cecidit in spinas: et ascenderunt spinæ, et suffocaverunt illud, et fructum non dedit.
8 And, other, fell into the good ground, and was yielding fruit, coming up and growing, —and was bearing, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold,
Et aliud cecidit in terram bonam: et dabat fructum ascendentem, et crescentem, et afferebat unum triginta, unum sexaginta, et unum centum.
9 And he was saying—He that hath ears to hear, let him hear!
Et dicebat: Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
10 And when he was alone they who were about him with the twelve questioned him as to the parables;
Et cum esset singularis, interrogaverunt eum hi, qui cum eo erant duodecim, parabolam.
11 and he was saying unto them—To you, the sacred secret hath been given of the kingdom of God, whereas, to them who are outside, in parables are all things coming to pass, —that
Et dicebat eis: Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei: illis autem, qui foris sunt, in parabolis omnia fiunt:
12 They may surely look and yet not see, and surely hear and yet not understand, lest once they should return and it be forgiven them.
ut videntes videant, et non videant: et audientes audiant, et non intelligant: nequando convertantur, et dimittantur eis peccata.
13 And he saith unto them—Know ye not this parable? How then will ye get to know all the parables?
Et ait illis: Nescitis parabolam hanc? et quomodo omnes parabolas cognoscetis?
14 The sower, soweth the word;
Qui seminat, verbum seminat.
15 And these are they beside the pathway where the word is sown, —and, as soon as they hear, straightway, cometh Satan, and snatcheth away the word which hath been sown into them;
Hi autem sunt, qui circa viam, ubi seminatur verbum, et cum audierint, confestim venit Satanas, et aufert verbum, quod seminatum est in cordibus eorum.
16 And these are likewise they upon the rocky places sown, —who, as soon as they hear the word, straightway, with joy receive it,
Et hi sunt similiter, qui super petrosa seminantur: qui cum audierint verbum, statim cum gaudio accipiunt illud:
17 and have no root in themselves, but, only for a season are, —afterwards, when there ariseth tribulation or persecution by reason of the word, straightway, they find cause of stumbling;
et non habent radicem in se, sed temporales sunt: deinde orta tribulatione et persecutione propter verbum, confestim scandalizantur.
18 And others are they who among thorns are sown, —these are they who hear the word,
Et alii sunt, qui in spinas seminantur: hi sunt, qui verbum audiunt,
19 and, the anxieties of the age, and the deceit of wealth, and the covetings about the remaining things, entering in, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh; (aiōn g165)
et ærumnæ sæculi, et deceptio divitiarum, et circa reliqua concupiscentiæ introeuntes suffocant verbum, et sine fructu efficitur. (aiōn g165)
20 And those yonder are they who on the good ground are sown, —who, indeed, hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit—thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.
Et hi sunt, qui super terram bonam seminati sunt, qui audiunt verbum, et suscipiunt, et fructificant, unum triginta, unum sexaginta, et unum centum.
21 And he was saying unto them—Doth the lamp come that under the measure it should be put, or under the couch? Is it not that upon the lampstand it may be put?
Et dicebat illis: Numquid venit lucerna ut sub modo ponatur, aut sub lecto? nonne ut super candelabrum ponatur?
22 For it is not hidden, save that it may be made visible; neither did it get hidden away, but that it might come into a place where it could be seen.
Non est enim aliquid absconditum, quod non manifestetur: nec factum est occultum, sed ut in palam veniat.
23 If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Si quis habet aures audiendi, audiat.
24 And he was saying unto them—Be taking heed what ye are hearing: —with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you, and added unto you;
Et dicebat illis: Videte quid audiatis. In qua mensura mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis, et adiicietur vobis.
25 For, he that hath, it shall be given, unto him, and, he that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him.
Qui enim habet, dabitur illi: et qui non habet, etiam quod habet auferetur ab eo.
26 And he was saying—Thus, is the kingdom of God: As a man may cast seed upon the earth,
Et dicebat: Sic est regnum Dei, quemadmodum si homo iaciat sementem in terram,
27 and be sleeping and rising, night and day, —and the seed be sprouting, and lengthening itself, —how, he, knoweth not:
et dormiat, et exurgat nocte et die, et semen germinet, et increscat dum nescit ille.
28 of itself, the earth beareth fruit, —first, a blade, afterwards, an ear, after that, full corn in the ear;
Ultro enim terra fructificat, primum herbam, deinde spicam, deinde plenum frumentum in spica.
29 but, as soon as the fruit yieldeth itself up, straightway, he sendeth forth the sickle, because standing by is the harvest.—
Et cum producerit fructus, statim mittit falcem, quoniam adest messis.
30 And he was saying—How shall we liken the kingdom of God, or, in what parable, shall we put it?
Et dicebat: Cui assimilabimus regnum Dei? aut cui parabolæ comparabimus illud?
31 As a grain of mustard seed, —which, whensoever it may be sown upon the earth, is less than all the seeds that are upon the earth;
Sicut granum sinapis, quod cum seminatum fuerit in terra, minus est omnibus seminibus, quæ sunt in terra:
32 and, as soon as it is sown, springeth up, and becometh greater than all garden plants, and produceth large branches, so that, under the shade thereof, the birds of heaven can find shelter.
et cum seminatum fuerit, ascendit, et fit maius omnibus oleribus, et facit ramos magnos, ita ut possint sub umbra eius aves cæli habitare.
33 And, with many such parables as these, was he speaking unto them the word, —according as they were able to hear;
Et talibus multis parabolis loquebatur eis verbum, prout poterant audire:
34 but, without a parable, was he not speaking unto them, —privately, however, unto his own disciples, was he explaining all things.
sine parabola autem non loquebatur eis. Seorsum autem discipulis suis disserebat omnia.
35 And he saith unto them, on that day, when evening came, Let us cross over unto the other side;
Et ait illis in illa die, cum sero esset factum: Transeamus contra.
36 and, dismissing the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat, and, other boats, were with him.
Et dimittentes turbam, assumunt eum ita ut erat in navi: et aliæ naves erant cum illo.
37 And there ariseth a great tempest of wind, —and, the waves, were dashing over into the boat, so that, already being filled, was the boat.
Et facta est procella magna venti, et fluctus mittebat in navim, ita ut impleretur navis.
38 And he was in the stern, on the cushion, sleeping. And they arouse him, and say unto him, Teacher! carest thou not that we perish?
Et erat ipse in puppi super cervical dormiens: et excitant eum, et dicunt illi: Magister, non ad te pertinet, quia perimus?
39 And, roused up, he rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea—Hush! be still! and the wind lulled, and it became a great calm.
Et exurgens comminatus est vento, et dixit mari: Tace, obmutesce. Et cessavit ventus: et facta est tranquillitas magna.
40 And he said unto them—Why, are ye, fearful? Not yet, have ye faith?
Et ait illis: Quid timidi estis? necdum habetis fidem?
41 And they were caused to fear a great fear, and were saying one to another—Who then is, this, that, both the wind and the sea, give ear unto him?
et timuerunt timore magno, et dicebant ad alterutrum: Quis, putas, est iste, quia et ventus et mare obediunt ei?
