Markos 4
1 Tutung acizina udursuzu nani nbiu kuli. igozi nanit gbardang kilinghe, apira nan nya zirgin nmyen acha-chana udu nan nya kule, aso nan nye. Vat ligonzighe wa di mbiu kule.
Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore.
2 A dursuzo nani imon gbardang nin tinan tigoldo, nan nya dursuzoe, a woro nani:
And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,
3 Lanzan unan tibila wa nusu udu tibila.
“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4 Adi tibile, imong imus disso libau, aying da zoto ining.
And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Imong imus disso kupanbaran, bara usalin nmyin, imuse nuzu deidei, bara na nmyine wa di tendeleng.
Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
6 Kube na uwui wa ghana, bara na nmyine wadi tendeleng kutyiene pya itunna ikoto.
But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7 Imon imus disso nan nya nimart. Na imarte kuno itunna iparda ining na ita iyip ba.
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.
8 Imon iyip disso kutyen kucine ikunjo ini yatina ita kpasharak. ining macha ita iyoli, imon akut atat, imon akut kutocin, imon akalt-akalt ikata intibile.”
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop—one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.”
9 Aworo “Ulenge na adinin natuf in lanze na alanza.”
Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 Kube na Yisa wa di usamme, ale na iwa di susut ligowe nighe nin nono katwa me likure nin nan waba itiringhe tigoldo tone.
As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.
11 A woro nani, “Anunghere ina ni minu uyiru nimon ilenvge na iyeshin kipin tigo Kutellẹ. Inung ale na idin das ko iyeme imon mine se nin tinnan tigoldo,
He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,
12 Bara uyenje, eh ba yenju, vat nani iba yenu ba, bara ulanzu, eh ba lanzu, vat nani na iba yinnu ba, bara iwa kpilin kiti Kutellẹ akusu nani.”
so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”
13 Aworo, “Na anung nyinno ko kugolde ba? Ibati iyiziari iyinin kagisin tigolde?
Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?
14 Unan tibile wa bilsu uliru Kutellẹ.
The farmer sows the word.
15 Imus ilenge na iwa dissu libau, inughere alenge na iwa lanza uliru Kutellẹ itunna isere deidei, asa Shetan nnin da nin kujijing me abolo ulire nan nya nibinayi mine.
Some are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
16 Inughere ilenge na iwa dissu kitene kupanbara, inughe wa lanza uliru Kutellẹ asa itunna isere unin deidei nin nayi-abo;
Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
17 Na iwa di nin tiling liyisin nin nakara ba, asa itere ayi nin kabiri båt; na licin nin niu nda bara ulire itunna isarta ideo.
But they themselves have no root, and they remain for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
18 Imong ilenge na iwa bilsu nan nya nimart. Inneghare wa lanza ulire.
Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
19 nin nanere adadun inyi, nin tok kagisin nimon in yï, nin lanzu mmang parda ulire, itunna iso hem. (aiōn g165)
but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Ilenge na iwa bilsu kutein kucine, inneghare ilenge na iwa lanza uliru Kutellẹ isere nin liwui lirum imaca gbardang, imong akut atat, imong akut kutocin imon akalt akalt ikata intibile.
Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”
21 Yisa woro nani, “uwa ti ula inpitilla asa ucheu unin nan nya kukuzughare sa nan nya lii. komi? Asa utarda unin in tadangha.
Jesus also said to them, “Does anyone bring in a lamp to put it under a basket or under a bed? Doesn’t he set it on a stand?
22 Na imoimon yeshin ilenge na iwaghya idira upune ba, sa imoimon nan nya sirti na iba diru unutune ikanang ba.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.
23 Ulenge na adinin natuf nlanze, na alanza.
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 Aworo nani, “Dinan atuf nimon ile na idin lanzu, kuyangi ko na uguro mun, kunnare iba guru fi mun ukuru use gbardang wang.
He went on to say, “Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you.
25 Bara vat nle na adinin nimon iba kpinghe ku, ulenge na asalimun, kitime ima seru ilenge na adimun wang.”
For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
26 Yisa woro, “Kipin Tigö Kutellẹ masin fo unitari na awa bilsu imus kutein.
Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
27 Asa a nö nmoro afita kitik nin liring, imuse nuzu ikuno ame löng, na asa yiro nin tikunnanghe ba.
Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.
28 Kutyiene asa kunutno imus nin litime ita ticilak, itunna nabaga, inin kunjo ida nutuno ati inin ta iyip.
All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.
29 Kubi ko na ilewe inyini, ata mass ayira kuwatan a basa bara na kubin basu. “
And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 Aworo, “iyapin imonari iba batu kipin tigoh Kutellẹ mun nin, tutung tiyapin tigoldori iba batizu mun?
Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?
31 Timasin fo fiyip kukù, na iwa bilsu fi katin ko fiyapin fiyip nin cingiling na asa ibila kuttyien.
It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.
32 Vat iwa bilu fining nani fi nuzu, asa fi kuno, fita kucha ku dyå fi kata acha vat nan nya kunene. Asa kuta tilang jakaka kang na agyin kitene kani wang asa ida ke tido mine nan nya nshine.”
But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”
33 Nin tinan tigoldo gbardang nafo tone a bele nani uliru Kutellẹ, udu ligang longo na yiru ulanze.
With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.
34 Nin nani na awa sunani uliru sa tinang tigoldo ba. Nin nani ame ligowe nin nono katwa mere cas asa apuno nani ncasarak nlire.
He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.
35 Lilole nin kuleleng aworo nani, channari ti kafi uleli uwule.”
When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”
36 Itunna igya isuna ligozinghe. Nono katwa me gya ligowe naghe nan nya zirgin nmyen, bara asosin nan nya ligowe nanghinu. Ntong tizirgin nmyen wang ligowe waduku.
After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.
37 Fiyilili nin funu udya tunna ufita nan nya kurawẹ, tikara nmyen tunnan pichu nan nya zirge utunna ulentina ukulu nin nmyen.
Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.
38 Ame Yisa wana din nmoro nan nya kadasi nzirge. Itunna ifyghe inin din sughe nenge, “Unan dursuzu nanit, tiba ku nan nya zirgi ulele afe nmora?”
But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”
39 Na azinto, a kpada ufune, anin woro kurawe, ta shew, yisina tik.” Ufune tunna u kete, kurawe tunna kusina dang.
Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.
40 Aworo nani nenge, “Bara iyaghari tå inani lanza fiu? Na iduu nin yinnu sa uyenu mine.”
“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”
41 Fiu fidya wa kifo nani iworo nati mine, “imusin yapin unitari ulele di, na ufunu nin kurawa wang din dortu uliru me?”
Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
