Mark 4
1 Once again Jesus began to teach by the sea, and a large crowd was gathered around him. So he got into the boat and sat in it on the sea, while the entire crowd was beside the sea on the shore.
και παλιν ηρξατο διδασκειν παρα την θαλασσαν και συνηχθη προς αυτον οχλος πολυς ωστε αυτον εμβαντα εις το πλοιον καθησθαι εν τη θαλασση και πας ο οχλος προς την θαλασσαν επι της γης ησαν
2 Then he taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them,
και εδιδασκεν αυτους εν παραβολαις πολλα και ελεγεν αυτοις εν τη διδαχη αυτου
3 “Listen! A sower went out to sow.
ακουετε ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι
4 As he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
και εγενετο εν τω σπειρειν ο μεν επεσεν επι την οδον και ηλθον τα πετεινα και κατεφαγεν αυτο
5 Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up immediately because it had no depth of soil.
και αλλο επεσεν επι το πετρωδες οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην και ευθεως εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθος γης
6 But when the sun rose, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
ηλιου δε ανατειλαντος εκαυματισθη και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη
7 Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it produced no fruit.
και αλλο επεσεν εις τας ακανθας και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και συνεπνιξαν αυτο και καρπον ουκ εδωκεν
8 But other seed fell into good soil and produced fruit that grew and increased; some bore thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times more than what was sown.”
και αλλο επεσεν εις την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον αναβαινοντα και αυξανοντα και εφερεν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον
9 Then he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
και ελεγεν αυτοις ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
10 When he was alone, those who were around him, along with the twelve, asked him about the parable.
οτε δε εγενετο κατα μονας ηρωτησαν αυτον οι περι αυτον συν τοις δωδεκα την παραβολην
11 So he said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside everything is said in parables,
και ελεγεν αυτοις υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας του θεου εκεινοις δε τοις εξω εν παραβολαις τα παντα γινεται
12 so that ‘they may see but not perceive, and hear but not understand, lest they should turn back and their sins be forgiven them.’”
ινα βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και μη ιδωσιν και ακουοντες ακουωσιν και μη συνιωσιν μηποτε επιστρεψωσιν και αφεθη αυτοις τα αμαρτηματα
13 Then he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the other parables?
και λεγει αυτοις ουκ οιδατε την παραβολην ταυτην και πως πασας τας παραβολας γνωσεσθε
14 The sower sows the word.
ο σπειρων τον λογον σπειρει
15 Now some people are like the seed along the path, where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in their hearts.
ουτοι δε εισιν οι παρα την οδον οπου σπειρεται ο λογος και οταν ακουσωσιν ευθυς ερχεται ο σατανας και αιρει τον λογον τον εσπαρμενον εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων
16 Likewise, some people are like the seed sown on rocky ground. When they hear the word, they immediately receive it with joy.
και ουτοι ομοιως εισιν οι επι τα πετρωδη σπειρομενοι οι οταν ακουσωσιν τον λογον ευθυς μετα χαρας λαμβανουσιν αυτον
17 Yet they have no root in themselves, but are only temporary. When tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, they immediately fall away.
και ουκ εχουσιν ριζαν εν εαυτοις αλλα προσκαιροι εισιν ειτα γενομενης θλιψεως η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθυς σκανδαλιζονται
18 Others are like the seed sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
και ουτοι εισιν οι εις τας ακανθας σπειρομενοι οι τον λογον ακουοντες
19 but the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desire for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
και αι μεριμναι του αιωνος τουτου και η απατη του πλουτου και αι περι τα λοιπα επιθυμιαι εισπορευομεναι συμπνιγουσιν τον λογον και ακαρπος γινεται (aiōn g165)
20 But others are like the seed sown on the good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and bear fruit—some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times more than what was sown.”
και ουτοι εισιν οι επι την γην την καλην σπαρεντες οιτινες ακουουσιν τον λογον και παραδεχονται και καρποφορουσιν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον
21 He also said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed? Is it not brought in to be set on a lampstand?
και ελεγεν αυτοις μητι ερχεται ο λυχνος ινα υπο τον μοδιον τεθη η υπο την κλινην ουχ ινα επι την λυχνιαν επιτεθη
22 For there is nothing hidden that will not be made manifest, nor has anything been made secret, but that it may come to light.
ου γαρ εστιν κρυπτον ο εαν μη φανερωθη ουδε εγενετο αποκρυφον αλλ ινα ελθη εις φανερον
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
ει τις εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
24 Then he said to them, “Consider what you hear. With the measure you use it will be measured to you, and more will be added to you who hear.
και ελεγεν αυτοις βλεπετε τι ακουετε εν ω μετρω μετρειτε μετρηθησεται υμιν και προστεθησεται υμιν τοις ακουουσιν
25 For whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
ος γαρ αν εχη δοθησεται αυτω και ος ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
26 He also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
και ελεγεν ουτως εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου ως αν ανθρωπος βαλη τον σπορον επι της γης
27 He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he does not know how.
και καθευδη και εγειρηται νυκτα και ημεραν και ο σπορος βλαστανη και μηκυνηται ως ουκ οιδεν αυτος
28 For the earth produces a crop by itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head.
αυτοματη γαρ η γη καρποφορει πρωτον χορτον ειτα σταχυν ειτα πληρη σιτον εν τω σταχυι
29 When the crop is ready, the man immediately sends in the sickle, for the harvest has come.”
οταν δε παραδω ο καρπος ευθεως αποστελλει το δρεπανον οτι παρεστηκεν ο θερισμος
30 Then Jesus said, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? Or what parable can we use to describe it?
και ελεγεν πως ομοιωσωμεν την βασιλειαν του θεου η εν τινι παραβολη παραβαλωμεν αυτην
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth.
ως κοκκον σιναπεως ος οταν σπαρη επι της γης μικροτερος παντων των σπερματων εστιν των επι της γης
32 Yet when it is sown, it grows and becomes larger than all the garden plants and produces large branches, so that the birds of the sky can nest in its shade.”
και οταν σπαρη αναβαινει και γινεται μειζων παντων των λαχανων και ποιει κλαδους μεγαλους ωστε δυνασθαι υπο την σκιαν αυτου τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνουν
33 With many similar parables he spoke the word to them, to the extent that they were able to understand it.
και τοιαυταις παραβολαις πολλαις ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον καθως ηδυναντο ακουειν
34 He did not speak to them without using a parable, but privately he explained everything to his disciples.
χωρις δε παραβολης ουκ ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον κατ ιδιαν δε τοις μαθηταις αυτου επελυεν παντα
35 On that day, when evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us cross over to the other side of the sea.”
και λεγει αυτοις εν εκεινη τη ημερα οψιας γενομενης διελθωμεν εις το περαν
36 So they left the crowd and took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other little boats were also with him.
και αφεντες τον οχλον παραλαμβανουσιν αυτον ως ην εν τω πλοιω και αλλα δε πλοια ην μετ αυτου
37 Now a great windstorm arose, and the waves were beating against the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
και γινεται λαιλαψ ανεμου μεγαλη τα δε κυματα επεβαλλεν εις το πλοιον ωστε ηδη αυτο βυθιζεσθαι
38 But Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, do yoʋ not care that we are perishing?”
και ην αυτος επι τη πρυμνη επι το προσκεφαλαιον καθευδων και διεγειρουσιν αυτον και λεγουσιν αυτω διδασκαλε ου μελει σοι οτι απολλυμεθα
39 Then he woke up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” So the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
και διεγερθεις επετιμησεν τω ανεμω και ειπεν τη θαλασση σιωπα πεφιμωσο και εκοπασεν ο ανεμος και εγενετο γαληνη μεγαλη
40 Then he said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
και ειπεν αυτοις τι δειλοι εστε ουτως πως ουκ εχετε πιστιν
41 And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν και ελεγον προς αλληλους τις αρα ουτος εστιν οτι και ο ανεμος και η θαλασσα υπακουουσιν αυτω
