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.
Pwu akhatengwa ukhumanyisya mu ndakhanji mu nyanja. Ululundamano ulwalundamine lukhanjongula, akhingela mu mbwato munyanja, nu hutama. Ululundamano lyoni lwale mundokanji mu nyanja.
2 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
Pwu akhavamanyisya imbombo nyingi khu fikhwani, akhanchova khuvene.
3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
Ukhuta, mupolikhenchage undemi alotile khuvyala.
4 As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
Vwu ivyala, inchinge imbeyu ncha gwile mu njela, ifidege fikhincha fikhanchilya.
5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
Imbeyu inchinge nchagwile mu lunalawe, bakho wlifu lyale lidebe, pwu jikhaniala, ulwakhuva elifu lyale lidebe.
6 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
Pwu ulunchuva volwivala, nchikhaniala, ulwakhuva nchale bula milela, nchikhoma.
7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Imbeyu inchinge nchagwile mmatoni. Amatoni khakola sanchikhahopo isekha nchochoni.
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.”
Imbeyu inchinge nchagwile palifu elinonu, nchikhahopa isekhe vwu vunchikhula, inchinge nchakhopile thelathini nu khulutelela, inchinge sitini, inchinge mia.”
9 He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Pwu akhanchova, “Yeyoni unyambulukhutu incha khupulikha, apulekhage!”
10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
Yiisu vu alemwene, vavo vale pipi nu mwene, navala kumi na vavele vakhambuncha ukhukhongana ni vikhwani.
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,
Akhanchova khuvene, “Umwe mpevilwe uvayelweli uvwa ludeva lwa Nguluve. Khu vavo vale honji khela khenu khuvene fihwani,
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.’”
Pwu vovilola, lweli vilola, savikhokhe vona, vovipulekhe, vipulikha, savikhwaliwa, manya vakhavisyetukha pwu Unguluve akhale ikhovasyekhela.”
13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
Pwu akhanchova khuvene, “Ukhuta samukhemanyile ekhekhwani ekhe? Pwu mukhweliwaga ifikhwani ifinge?
14 The farmer sows the word.
Unyakhovyala avyalile elimenyu.
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.
Avange vovala avagwile munjela, bakho elimenyu lyavyaliwe. Vwu vapolikhe akhincha u Setano akhaletola elimenyu lelyo lyavyaliwe muvene.
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.
Avange vovala vavovavyaliwe pakhyanyu pa lunalawe, avene voviholepulekha elimenyu, nambeve vikhupelela nulokhovokho.
17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
Viva vovovle imilela mugati muvene pwu vikheyomelencha unsekhe unsupi vu lwikhwincha alogelo nu khugata nchiwa khu limenyu. Pwu vikhekho vencha.
18 Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
Avange vovala avanyaliwe mumatoni vikholepulikha elumenyu.
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)
Pwu ukhugatanchiwa ne khelunga, uvosyovi uvwa fyome, nu vonogwe uvwa mbombo inchinge nchikhovingela elimenyu lilemwa ukhuhupa isekhe. (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.”
Pwu khuvale vavo vavyaliwe mu ndifu elinonu. Vikholepulekha elimenyu nu khuleopelela vikhopa isekha: avange thelathini, avange sitini, na avange mia moja.”
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?
Yiisu akhavavola, “Vwa wigega ulumuli mbunchenge nukhuluvekha pasi pa khetundu, ama pasi pavogono? Pwu vukhulugega ulumuli nukhuluvekha pakhanya pa khetalati.
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.
Ulwa khuva khesikholi khyohyoni khekhyo khefikhime khekhyo sakhe khamanye khene, lesipali lelyo lefikhime lelyo salekhave pavuvalafu.
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Avange pwale unyambulukhutu inchipulekha, apolekhage!”
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.
Akhavavola muvinchage mikho na lelyo mupulekha, ulwakhuva ekhemwipimila khemulapimiliwa na yomwe nu khulutelela.
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.”
Ulwa khuva uvealenakhyo, yikhwupela ekheluyelile, na yoywa ale vovole ukhukhuma khumwene yafitoliwa na fifyo alenafyo.”
26 He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
Pwu akhata, “Uludeva lwa Nguluve lukhwanine nu munu uveavyalile embeyu mu ndifu.
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
Vwa agonelile pakhelo nu khusisimukha panavusikhu, pwu embeyu nchikhamela nu khukula, ndave salomanyile umuyekhomile.
28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Ekhelunga khihomya embeyu, gitala amani; vwukhwincha uvuluva, pwu, nchikhonga embeyu inchidolwikhe.
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
Embeyu vuyekholile nu khuvefula pwu egega emundu, ulwa khuva misekhegha khubena.”
30 He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
Pwu akhata, “Tuvukhwananinche uludeva lwa Nguluve ne khenu kheli, tuvunchanganule ne khekhwani khehi?
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,
Vule nde mbegu eya haladali, yeyo yavyaliwe incha khelunga.
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.”
Na pakho yevyaliwe, yikhula nu khuva mbakha ukhulutelela embeyu nchoni, pwu yipasa isyamba imbakha, ifidege fya khukyanya finchenga uvufumba mu khenchimela.”
33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
Khu fikhwani fingi amanyisye nu hunchova elimenyu khuvene, ndamumwa valekhumweliwa,
34 Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
Sa anchove navo bila fikhwani. Ulwa khuva vu alemwene, akhavavola khela khenu avakhongi va mwene.
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
Pa linchuva elyo, imisekhe gha lyakhemikhe, akhanchova khuvene, “Tuvukhe emwambo eyenge.”
36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
Pwu vakhalulekha ululundamano, vakhantola u Yiisu, imisekhe egyo vualemumbwato. Uwato uvunge vukhava paninie.
37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
Emepo enyakhuluguto, amagasi.
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?”
U Yiisu ale pa shetri, agonelile. Vakhansisimula, vakhata, “Mmanyisi, savusaga ufye twifwa?”
39 He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
Pwu akhasisimukha, akhayebencha emepo nu khuyevola enyanja, '“Yeve mie, nu lunonchehecho.” Emepo yekhelekhelwa, khuva mie.
40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
Pwu akhanchova khuvene, “Khehi mundwada? Mulevovole ulwidikho?”
41 They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Vakhava nuludwado ulwakha munumbula incha vene vakhenchofanya, “Veni oyo, ulwa khuva emepo ne nyanja fikhomwedekha?”.
