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.
Jesus again began to teach by the Sea; and, as an immense crowd was gathering round him, he got into a boat, and sat in it on the Sea, while all the people were on the shore at the water’s edge.
2 A dursuzo nani imon gbardang nin tinan tigoldo, nan nya dursuzoe, a woro nani:
Then he taught them many truths in parables; and in the course of his teaching he said to them:
3 Lanzan unan tibila wa nusu udu tibila.
“Listen! The sower went out to sow;
4 Adi tibile, imong imus disso libau, aying da zoto ining.
and presently, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path; and the birds came, and ate it up.
5 Imong imus disso kupanbaran, bara usalin nmyin, imuse nuzu deidei, bara na nmyine wa di tendeleng.
Some fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and, having no depth of soil, sprang up at once;
6 Kube na uwui wa ghana, bara na nmyine wadi tendeleng kutyiene pya itunna ikoto.
but, when the sun rose, it was scorched, and, having no root, withered away.
7 Imon imus disso nan nya nimart. Na imarte kuno itunna iparda ining na ita iyip ba.
Some of the seed fell among brambles; but the brambles shot up and completely choked it, and it yielded no return.
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.”
Some fell into good soil, and, shooting up and growing, yielded a return, amounting to thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.”
9 Aworo “Ulenge na adinin natuf in lanze na alanza.”
And Jesus said: “Let any one who has ears to hear with 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.
Afterwards, when he was alone, his followers and the Twelve asked him about his parables;
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,
and he said: “To you the hidden truth of the Kingdom of God has been imparted; but to those who are outside it all teaching takes the form of parables, that —
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.”
‘Though they have eyes, they may see without perceiving; and though they have ears, they may hear without understanding; lest some day they should turn and be forgiven.’
13 Aworo, “Na anung nyinno ko kugolde ba? Ibati iyiziari iyinin kagisin tigolde?
“You do not know the meaning of this parable!” he went on; “Then how will you understand all the other parables?
14 Unan tibile wa bilsu uliru Kutellẹ.
The sower sows the Message.
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.
The People meant by the seed that falls along the path are these — where the Message is sown, but, as soon as they have heard it, Satan immediately comes and carries away the Message that has been sown in them.
16 Inughere ilenge na iwa dissu kitene kupanbara, inughe wa lanza uliru Kutellẹ asa itunna isere unin deidei nin nayi-abo;
So, too, those meant by the seed sown on the rocky places are the people who, when they have heard the Message, at once accept it joyfully;
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, as they have no root, they stand only for a short time; and so, when trouble or persecution arises on account of the Message, they fall away at once.
18 Imong ilenge na iwa bilsu nan nya nimart. Inneghare wa lanza ulire.
Those meant by the seed sown among the brambles are different; they are the people who hear the Message,
19 nin nanere adadun inyi, nin tok kagisin nimon in yï, nin lanzu mmang parda ulire, itunna iso hem. (aiōn g165)
but the cares of life, and the glamour of wealth, and cravings for many other things come in and completely choke the Message, so that it gives no return. (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.
But the people meant by the seed sown on the good ground are those who hear the Message, and welcome it, and yield a return, thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.”
21 Yisa woro nani, “uwa ti ula inpitilla asa ucheu unin nan nya kukuzughare sa nan nya lii. komi? Asa utarda unin in tadangha.
And Jesus said to them: “Is a lamp brought to be put under the corn-measure or under the couch, instead of being put on the lamp-stand?
22 Na imoimon yeshin ilenge na iwaghya idira upune ba, sa imoimon nan nya sirti na iba diru unutune ikanang ba.
Nothing is hidden unless it is some day to come to light, nor was anything ever kept hidden but that it should some day come into the light of day.
23 Ulenge na adinin natuf nlanze, na alanza.
Let all who have ears to hear with 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.
Take care what you listen to,” said Jesus. “The measure you mete will be meted out to you, and more will be added for you.
25 Bara vat nle na adinin nimon iba kpinghe ku, ulenge na asalimun, kitime ima seru ilenge na adimun wang.”
For, to those who have, more will be given; while, from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.”
26 Yisa woro, “Kipin Tigö Kutellẹ masin fo unitari na awa bilsu imus kutein.
Jesus also said: “This is what the Kingdom of God is like — like a man who has scattered seed on the ground,
27 Asa a nö nmoro afita kitik nin liring, imuse nuzu ikuno ame löng, na asa yiro nin tikunnanghe ba.
and then sleeps by night and rises by day, while the seed is shooting up and growing — he knows not how.
28 Kutyiene asa kunutno imus nin litime ita ticilak, itunna nabaga, inin kunjo ida nutuno ati inin ta iyip.
The ground bears the crop of itself — first the blade, then the ear, and then the full grain in the ear;
29 Kubi ko na ilewe inyini, ata mass ayira kuwatan a basa bara na kubin basu. “
but, as soon as the crop is ready, immediately he ‘puts in the sickle because harvest has come’.”
30 Aworo, “iyapin imonari iba batu kipin tigoh Kutellẹ mun nin, tutung tiyapin tigoldori iba batizu mun?
Jesus also said: “To what can we liken the Kingdom of God?
31 Timasin fo fiyip kukù, na iwa bilsu fi katin ko fiyapin fiyip nin cingiling na asa ibila kuttyien.
By what can we illustrate it? Perhaps by the growth of a mustard-seed. This seed, when sown in the ground, though it is smaller than all other seeds,
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.”
yet, when sown, shoots up, and becomes larger than any other herb, and puts out great branches, so that even ‘the wild birds can roost in its shelter.’”
33 Nin tinan tigoldo gbardang nafo tone a bele nani uliru Kutellẹ, udu ligang longo na yiru ulanze.
With many such parables Jesus used to speak to the people of his Message, as far as they were able to receive it;
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.
and to them he never used to speak except in parables; but in private to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Lilole nin kuleleng aworo nani, channari ti kafi uleli uwule.”
In the evening of the same day, Jesus said to them: “Let us go across.”
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.
So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them, just as he was, 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.
A violent squall came on, and the waves kept dashing into the boat, so that the boat was actually filling.
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?”
Jesus was in the stern asleep upon the cushion; and the disciples roused him and cried: “Teacher! is it nothing to you that we are lost?”
39 Na azinto, a kpada ufune, anin woro kurawe, ta shew, yisina tik.” Ufune tunna u kete, kurawe tunna kusina dang.
Jesus rose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: “Hush! Be still!” Then the wind dropped, and a great calm followed.
40 Aworo nani nenge, “Bara iyaghari tå inani lanza fiu? Na iduu nin yinnu sa uyenu mine.”
“Why are you so timid?” he exclaimed. “Have you no faith yet?”
41 Fiu fidya wa kifo nani iworo nati mine, “imusin yapin unitari ulele di, na ufunu nin kurawa wang din dortu uliru me?”
But they were struck with great awe, and said to one another: “Who can this be that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
