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.
Li te kòmanse enstwi yo ankò bò kote lanmè a. Yon gwo foul te ransanble kote Li jiskaske Li te vin antre nan yon kannòt sou lanmè a e Li te chita. Tout foul la te kanpe atè bò lanmè a.
2 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
Konsa, Li te enstwi yo anpil bagay an parabòl. Li t ap di yo nan ansèyman li;
3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
“Koute! Yon moun ki t ap simen te ale deyò pou simen grenn.
4 As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
Pandan li t ap simen, kèk grenn te tonbe akote wout la pou zwazo yo vin manje l nèt.
5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
“Lòt grenn te tonbe nan wòch kote pa t gen anpil tè. Byen vit, li te leve, paske tè a pa t gen pwofondè.
6 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
Konsa, lè solèy la fin leve, li te vin brile, e akoz li pa t gen rasin, li te fennen.
7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
“Lòt grenn tonbe pami pikan yo. Pikan yo leve toufe li, e li pa t bay donn.
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.”
“Lòt grenn te tonbe nan bon tè e pandan yo t ap grandi, ogmante, yo vin bay yon rekòlt ki te pwodwi trant, swasant, e menm san fwa.”
9 He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Konsa li te di: “Sila ki gen zòrèy pou tande, kite l tande”.
10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
Pandan Li te apa pou kont Li, sila ki t ap swiv Li yo ansanm avèk douz yo t ap poze L kesyon sou parabòl yo.
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,
Li te di yo: “A nou menm te gen tan bay mistè a wayòm Bondye a; men sila ki rete deyò yo, ap resevwa tout bagay an parabòl.
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.’”
Pou l rive ke Malgre yo wè, yo kapab wè san apèsi; e pandan y ap tande, yo kapab tande e pa konprann. Otreman, yo ta kab retounen pou twouve padon.”
13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
Li te di yo: “Èske nou pa konprann parabòl sila a? Alò kijan nou va konprann tout parabòl yo?
14 The farmer sows the word.
“Moun k ap simen an simen pawòl la.
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.
Se sila ki akote wout yo, ke lè pawòl la fin simen, yo tande. Men byen vit, Satan vin pran pawòl ki te simen an, e rachte l soti nan yo.
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.
“E nan yon jan ki sanble ak sa, sila yo se yo menm ki te simen kote ki plen wòch yo. Lè yo fin tande pawòl la, byen vit, yo resevwa l avèk jwa.
17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
Men yo pa gen rasin fon nan yo menm. Yo la pou yon ti tan. Lè afliksyon oswa pèsekisyon vini akoz pawòl la, lapoula yo vin chite.
18 Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
“Lòt yo se sila yo ki te te simen pami pikan yo. Se yo ki te tande pawòl yo,
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)
men tout pwoblèm mond sa a ak sediksyon richès yo, avèk lanvi pou lòt bagay toufe pawòl la, pou li pa donnen fwi. (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.”
“Sila ki te te simen nan bon tè a, se yo menm ki te tande pawòl la, yo te aksepte li, e yo te vin bay fwi trant, swasant e menm san fwa.”
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?
Konsa Li t ap di yo: “Èske yon lanp pote pou mete anba yon panyen oubyen anba yon kabann? Èske yo pa pote li pou mete li sou yon chandelye?
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.
Paske anyen pa kache, sof ke pou revele, ni anyen pa an sekrè, sof ke pou parèt nan limyè.
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Si yon moun gen zòrèy pou tande, kite l tande.”
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.
E Li t ap di yo: “Fè atansyon a sa nou koute. Menm jan ke nou mezire bay, li va mezire remèt a nou menm; e menm plis, y ap bannou ki tande.
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.”
Paske a nenpòt moun ki genyen, l ap resevwa anplis, e a nenpòt moun ki pa genyen, menm sa li genyen an ap retire nan men li.”
26 He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
E Li t ap di: “Wayòm syèl la se tankou yon mesye k ap voye semans sou latè.
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
Konsa, l ale sou kabann li nan aswè, li leve lajounen, e semans lan pouse e grandi; kijan sa fè fèt, li menm pa konnen.
28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Tè a pwodwi rekòlt pou kont li; premyèman flèch, answit tèt la, e apre sa, grenn mi yo nan tèt la.
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
Men depi rekòlt la vin prè, byen vit l ap bay li kouto, paske lè rekòlt la rive.”
30 He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
Li te di: “Kijan n ap imajine wayòm Bondye a, oubyen selon ki parabòl nou kapab reprezante li?
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,
Li tankou yon grenn moutad ke lè l simen nan tè, li pi piti pase tout grenn ki sou latè.
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.”
Malgre sa, lè l fin simen, li grandi e vin pi gwo pase tout lòt plant nan jaden yo, epi fè gwo branch, pou zwazo anlè yo kab vin fè nich anba lonbraj li.”
33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
Ak anpil parabòl konsa, Li te pale pawòl la avèk yo nan limit yo ta kapab tande l pou konprann.
34 Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
Li pa t pale avèk yo san parabòl; men Li t ap eksplike tout bagay an prive a disip Li yo.
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
Nan jou sa a, lè lannwit vin rive, Li te di yo: “Annou pase pa lòtbò”.
36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
Yo te kite foul la e te pran Li avèk yo jan Li te ye nan kannòt la. Anplis, te gen lòt kannòt ki te avèk Li.
37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
Konsa, te vin leve yon gwo van tanpèt, ak vag lanmè ki t ap kase sou kannòt la otan ke kannòt la te prèske fin plen nèt.
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?”
Jésus Li menm te nan pwent dèyè kote L t ap dòmi sou yon kousen. Yo te fè L leve e te di Li: “Mèt, èske sa pa fè Ou anyen ke n ap mouri?”
39 He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
Li te leve, e konsa, Li te reprimande van an e te di a lanmè a: “Fè silans, rete kalm!” Epi van an te vin bese e tan an te vini byen kalm.
40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
Li te di yo: “Poukisa nou pè konsa? Jiska prezan, nou poko gen lafwa?”
41 They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Yo te etone avèk laperèz e yo te di: “Ki moun sa ye ke menm van avèk dlo lanmè obeyi Li?”
