Mark 4
1 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.
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 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
και εδιδασκεν αυτους εν παραβολαις πολλα και ελεγεν αυτοις εν τη διδαχη αυτου
3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
ακουετε ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι
4 As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, 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 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, 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 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
ηλιου δε ανατειλαντος εκαυματισθη και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη
7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
και αλλο επεσεν εις τας ακανθας και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και συνεπνιξαν αυτο και καρπον ουκ εδωκεν
8 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.”
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 He said, “Whoever 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 with the twelve asked him about the parables.
οτε δε εγενετο κατα μονας ηρωτησαν αυτον οι περι αυτον συν τοις δωδεκα την παραβολην
11 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,
και ελεγεν αυτοις υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας του θεου εκεινοις δε τοις εξω εν παραβολαις τα παντα γινεται
12 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.’”
ινα βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και μη ιδωσιν και ακουοντες ακουωσιν και μη συνιωσιν μηποτε επιστρεψωσιν και αφεθη αυτοις τα αμαρτηματα
13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
και λεγει αυτοις ουκ οιδατε την παραβολην ταυτην και πως πασας τας παραβολας γνωσεσθε
14 The farmer sows the word.
ο σπειρων τον λογον σπειρει
15 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.
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 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.
και ουτοι ομοιως εισιν οι επι τα πετρωδη σπειρομενοι οι οταν ακουσωσιν τον λογον ευθυς μετα χαρας λαμβανουσιν αυτον
17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
και ουκ εχουσιν ριζαν εν εαυτοις αλλα προσκαιροι εισιν ειτα γενομενης θλιψεως η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθυς σκανδαλιζονται
18 Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
και ουτοι εισιν οι εις τας ακανθας σπειρομενοι οι τον λογον ακουοντες
19 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)
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 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.”
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 said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand?
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 except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light.
ου γαρ εστιν κρυπτον ο εαν μη φανερωθη ουδε εγενετο αποκρυφον αλλ ινα ελθη εις φανερον
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
ει τις εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
24 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.
και ελεγεν αυτοις βλεπετε τι ακουετε εν ω μετρω μετρειτε μετρηθησεται υμιν και προστεθησεται υμιν τοις ακουουσιν
25 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.”
ος γαρ αν εχη δοθησεται αυτω και ος ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
26 He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
και ελεγεν ουτως εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου ως αν ανθρωπος βαλη τον σπορον επι της γης
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
και καθευδη και εγειρηται νυκτα και ημεραν και ο σπορος βλαστανη και μηκυνηται ως ουκ οιδεν αυτος
28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
αυτοματη γαρ η γη καρποφορει πρωτον χορτον ειτα σταχυν ειτα πληρη σιτον εν τω σταχυι
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
οταν δε παραδω ο καρπος ευθεως αποστελλει το δρεπανον οτι παρεστηκεν ο θερισμος
30 He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
και ελεγεν πως ομοιωσωμεν την βασιλειαν του θεου η εν τινι παραβολη παραβαλωμεν αυτην
31 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,
ως κοκκον σιναπεως ος οταν σπαρη επι της γης μικροτερος παντων των σπερματων εστιν των επι της γης
32 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.”
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 such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
και τοιαυταις παραβολαις πολλαις ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον καθως ηδυναντο ακουειν
34 Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
χωρις δε παραβολης ουκ ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον κατ ιδιαν δε τοις μαθηταις αυτου επελυεν παντα
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
και λεγει αυτοις εν εκεινη τη ημερα οψιας γενομενης διελθωμεν εις το περαν
36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
και αφεντες τον οχλον παραλαμβανουσιν αυτον ως ην εν τω πλοιω και αλλα δε πλοια ην μετ αυτου
37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
και γινεται λαιλαψ ανεμου μεγαλη τα δε κυματα επεβαλλεν εις το πλοιον ωστε ηδη αυτο βυθιζεσθαι
38 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?”
και ην αυτος επι τη πρυμνη επι το προσκεφαλαιον καθευδων και διεγειρουσιν αυτον και λεγουσιν αυτω διδασκαλε ου μελει σοι οτι απολλυμεθα
39 He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” 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 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 They were greatly afraid 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
