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.
anantaraM sa samudrataTe punarupadeSTuM prArebhe, tatastatra bahujanAnAM samAgamAt sa sAgaropari naukAmAruhya samupaviSTaH; sarvve lokAH samudrakUle tasthuH|
2 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
tadA sa dRSTAntakathAbhi rbahUpadiSTavAn upadizaMzca kathitavAn,
3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
avadhAnaM kuruta, eko bIjavaptA bIjAni vaptuM gataH;
4 As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
vapanakAle kiyanti bIjAni mArgapAzve patitAni, tata AkAzIyapakSiNa etya tAni cakhAduH|
5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
kiyanti bIjAni svalpamRttikAvatpASANabhUmau patitAni tAni mRdolpatvAt zIghramaGkuritAni;
6 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
kintUdite sUryye dagdhAni tathA mUlAno nAdhogatatvAt zuSkANi ca|
7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
kiyanti bIjAni kaNTakivanamadhye patitAni tataH kaNTakAni saMvRdvya tAni jagrasustAni na ca phalitAni|
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.”

9 He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
atha sa tAnavadat yasya zrotuM karNau staH sa zRNotu|
10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
tadanantaraM nirjanasamaye tatsaGgino dvAdazaziSyAzca taM taddRSTAntavAkyasyArthaM papracchuH|
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,
tadA sa tAnuditavAn IzvararAjyasya nigUDhavAkyaM boddhuM yuSmAkamadhikAro'sti;
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.’”
kintu ye vahirbhUtAH "te pazyantaH pazyanti kintu na jAnanti, zRNvantaH zRNvanti kintu na budhyante, cettai rmanaHsu kadApi parivarttiteSu teSAM pApAnyamocayiSyanta," atohetostAn prati dRSTAntaireva tAni mayA kathitAni|
13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
atha sa kathitavAn yUyaM kimetad dRSTAntavAkyaM na budhyadhve? tarhi kathaM sarvvAn dRSTAntAna bhotsyadhve?
14 The farmer sows the word.
bIjavaptA vAkyarUpANi bIjAni vapati;
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.
tatra ye ye lokA vAkyaM zRNvanti, kintu zrutamAtrAt zaitAn zIghramAgatya teSAM manaHsUptAni tAni vAkyarUpANi bIjAnyapanayati taeva uptabIjamArgapArzvesvarUpAH|
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.
ye janA vAkyaM zrutvA sahasA paramAnandena gRhlanti, kintu hRdi sthairyyAbhAvAt kiJcit kAlamAtraM tiSThanti tatpazcAt tadvAkyahetoH
17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
kutracit kleze upadrave vA samupasthite tadaiva vighnaM prApnuvanti taeva uptabIjapASANabhUmisvarUpAH|
18 Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
ye janAH kathAM zRNvanti kintu sAMsArikI cintA dhanabhrAnti rviSayalobhazca ete sarvve upasthAya tAM kathAM grasanti tataH mA viphalA bhavati (aiōn g165)
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)
taeva uptabIjasakaNTakabhUmisvarUpAH|
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.”
ye janA vAkyaM zrutvA gRhlanti teSAM kasya vA triMzadguNAni kasya vA SaSTiguNAni kasya vA zataguNAni phalAni bhavanti taeva uptabIjorvvarabhUmisvarUpAH|
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?
tadA so'paramapi kathitavAn kopi jano dIpAdhAraM parityajya droNasyAdhaH khaTvAyA adhe vA sthApayituM dIpamAnayati kiM?
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.
atoheto ryanna prakAzayiSyate tAdRg lukkAyitaM kimapi vastu nAsti; yad vyaktaM na bhaviSyati tAdRzaM guptaM kimapi vastu nAsti|
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
yasya zrotuM karNau staH sa zRNotu|
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.
aparamapi kathitavAn yUyaM yad yad vAkyaM zRNutha tatra sAvadhAnA bhavata, yato yUyaM yena parimANena parimAtha tenaiva parimANena yuSmadarthamapi parimAsyate; zrotAro yUyaM yuSmabhyamadhikaM dAsyate|
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.”
yasyAzraye varddhate tasmai aparamapi dAsyate, kintu yasyAzraye na varddhate tasya yat kiJcidasti tadapi tasmAn neSyate|
26 He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
anantaraM sa kathitavAn eko lokaH kSetre bIjAnyuptvA
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
jAgaraNanidrAbhyAM divAnizaM gamayati, parantu tadvIjaM tasyAjJAtarUpeNAGkurayati varddhate ca;
28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
yatohetoH prathamataH patrANi tataH paraM kaNizAni tatpazcAt kaNizapUrNAni zasyAni bhUmiH svayamutpAdayati;
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
kintu phaleSu pakkeSu zasyacchedanakAlaM jJAtvA sa tatkSaNaM zasyAni chinatti, anena tulyamIzvararAjyaM|
30 He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
punaH so'kathayad IzvararAjyaM kena samaM? kena vastunA saha vA tadupamAsyAmi?
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,
tat sarSapaikena tulyaM yato mRdi vapanakAle sarSapabIjaM sarvvapRthivIsthabIjAt kSudraM
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.”
kintu vapanAt param aGkurayitvA sarvvazAkAd bRhad bhavati, tasya bRhatyaH zAkhAzca jAyante tatastacchAyAM pakSiNa Azrayante|
33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
itthaM teSAM bodhAnurUpaM so'nekadRSTAntaistAnupadiSTavAn,
34 Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
dRSTAntaM vinA kAmapi kathAM tebhyo na kathitavAn pazcAn nirjane sa ziSyAn sarvvadRSTAntArthaM bodhitavAn|
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
taddinasya sandhyAyAM sa tebhyo'kathayad Agacchata vayaM pAraM yAma|
36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
tadA te lokAn visRjya tamavilambaM gRhItvA naukayA pratasthire; aparA api nAvastayA saha sthitAH|
37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
tataH paraM mahAjhaJbhzagamAt nau rdolAyamAnA taraGgeNa jalaiH pUrNAbhavacca|
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?”
tadA sa naukAcazcAdbhAge upadhAne ziro nidhAya nidrita AsIt tataste taM jAgarayitvA jagaduH, he prabho, asmAkaM prANA yAnti kimatra bhavatazcintA nAsti?
39 He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
tadA sa utthAya vAyuM tarjitavAn samudraJcoktavAn zAntaH susthirazca bhava; tato vAyau nivRtte'bdhirnistaraGgobhUt|
40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
tadA sa tAnuvAca yUyaM kuta etAdRkzaGkAkulA bhavata? kiM vo vizvAso nAsti?
41 They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
