Mark 4
1 Another time Jesus began to teach [people] alongside Lake [Galilee. As he was doing that, a very large crowd gathered around him. Because people were jostling him], he got into a boat in the lake [so that he could speak to the crowd better. Then he sat in it and began to teach the crowd from the boat]. At the same time, the crowd was on the shore close to the lake.
И опет поче учити код мора, и скупише се око Њега људи многи тако да мора ући у лађу, и седети на мору; а народ сав беше на земљи крај мора.
2 Then he taught them many parables. While he was teaching them, he told them [this]:
И учаше их у причама много, и говораше им у науци својој:
3 “Consider [well the meaning of this illustration]: A man/farmer went out [to his field] to sow [some seeds].
Слушајте: ево изиђе сејач да сеје.
4 As he was scattering them [over the soil], some [of the] seeds fell on the path. Then some birds came and ate those seeds.
И кад сејаше, догоди се да једно паде украј пута, и дођоше птице и позобаше га.
5 Other [seeds] fell on ground where there was not much soil [on top of] rock. Very soon the [seeds] sprouted because [the sun warmed] the moist soil quickly where it was not deep.
А друго паде на каменито место где не беше много земље; и одмах изниче; јер не беше у дубину земље:
6 But after the sun shone [on those young plants], they became scorched. Then they withered because they did not have [deep] roots.
А кад обасја сунце, увену, и будући да немаше корена, усахну.
7 As the farmer sowed, other [seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny plants. [The] seeds [grew, but] the thorny plants also grew up and crowded out [the] good [plants. So the plants] produced no grain.
И друго паде у трње; и нарасте трње и удави га, и не донесе род.
8 But as the farmer sowed, other [seeds] fell on good soil. As a result, they sprouted, they grew well, and then they produced [plenty of] grain. [Some] plants bore 30 [grains]. [Some] bore 60 [grains]. [Some] bore 100 [grains].”
И друго паде на земљу добру; и даваше род који је напредовао и растао и доносио по тридесет и по шездесет и по сто.
9 Then Jesus said, “If you want to understand this [MTY], you should consider [carefully what I have just said].”
И рече: Ко има уши да чује нека чује.
10 [Later], when only the twelve [disciples] and a few [other] people were with him, they asked him about the parables.
А кад оста сам, запиташе Га који беху с Њим и са дванаесторицом за ову причу.
11 He said to them, “People have not understood before [the new message] about how God wants to rule people’s lives. It is to you that this is being made known {that I am making this known}. But I tell about this [only] (in parables/figuratively) to those who have not [yet invited God to rule their lives].
И рече им: Вама је дано да знате тајне царства Божјег, а онима напољу све у причама бива;
12 As a result [it is true what a prophet has written], Although they see [what I do], they do not perceive [what it means] [DOU]. Although they hear [what I say], they do not understand [what it means] [DOU]. So they do not (repent/turn away from their sinful behavior) in order that they would be forgiven {[God] would forgive them}.”
Да очима гледају и да не виде, и ушима слушају и да не разумеју; да се како не обрате и да им се не опросте греси.
13 He also said to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand this illustration!/Can you not understand this illustration?) [RHQ] [If you do not understand] this, (you will certainly not understand any of the [other] illustrations!/how will you understand any of the [other] illustrations?) [RHQ] [Nevertheless, I will explain it to you].
И рече им: Зар не разумете ову причу? А како ћете све приче разумети?
14 [In the illustration that I told you], the man who sows [seeds represents someone who] declares God’s message [DOU].
Сејач реч сеје.
15 [Some people are like] the path on which [some of] the seeds fell. When they hear [the message], Satan comes at once and causes them to forget what they have heard.
А оно су крај пута, где се сеје реч и кад је чују одмах дође сотона и отме реч посејану у срцима њиховим.
16 [Some people are like the ground where the soil was not very deep over] rock. When they hear [God’s] message, they immediately accept it with joy.
Тако су и оно што се сеје на каменитим местима, који кад чују реч одмах је приме с радошћу;
17 But, because [the message does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their hearts/inner beings, they] believe it for [only a short time. They are like the plants that] did not have deep roots. When others treat such people badly or cause them to suffer because [they believe], those people [who are suffering] soon stop believing God’s message.
Али немају корена у себи, него су непостојани, па кад буде до невоље или их потерају речи ради, одмах се саблазне.
18 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny weeds in it. [Although] those people hear [God’s] message,
А оно су што се у трњу сеје који слушају реч,
19 they desire to be rich, and they desire to own many other things. So they worry [only] about material things. The result is that they forget [God’s] message and they do not do [the things that God wants them to do]. (aiōn g165)
Али бриге овог света и превара богатства и остале сласти уђу и загуше реч, и без рода остане. (aiōn g165)
20 [But some people] are like the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and they accept it [and they believe] it. [Then they do the things that God wants them to do. They are like the good plants that produced] 30, 60 or 100 [grains].”
А оно су што се на доброј земљи сеје који слушају реч и примају, и доносе род по тридесет и по шездесет и по сто.
21 He also told them [another parable], saying, “(People certainly do not [light] an oil lamp and then bring it [in the house] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} under a container or under a bed./Would anyone [light] an oil lamp and then bring it [in the house] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} under a container or under a bed?) [RHQ] (No, [they light it] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} in a place [where it lights the house].[/Wouldn’t they light it] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} in a place [where it lights the house]?) [RHQ]
И говораше им: Еда ли се свећа ужиже да се метне под суд или под одар? А не да се на свећњак метне?
22 [Similarly], there are some [parts of God’s message] that people do not know. [But he intends that] people will understand all the things that they do not know [now].
Јер нема ништа тајно што неће бити јавно; нити има шта сакривено што неће изаћи на видело.
23 If you want to understand this, you should consider [carefully] what you [have just heard].”
Ако има ко уши да чује нека чује.
24 Then he said to them, “Consider carefully what you hear [me say to you], for [God] will let you [understand] to the same degree that you [consider what I say]. [He] will let you [understand] even more than that.
И говораше им: Памтите шта чујете: каквом мером мерите онаквом ће вам се мерити и дометнуће се вама који слушате.
25 Those who [consider what I say] and understand it, [God] will enable them to understand more. But those who do not [consider carefully what I say], they will forget even what they already know.”
Јер ко има, даће му се; а који нема, узеће му се и оно што има.
26 Jesus also said, “God [has the power to change] people who let him rule their lives. I [will illustrate how that can happen] [MET]. A man planted seeds in the ground.
И говораше им: Тако је царство Божје као човек кад баци семе у земљу;
27 Afterwards he slept each night and rose each day [without worrying about the seeds]. [During that time] the seeds sprouted and grew in a way that he did not understand, because by itself the soil [caused the plants to grow and produce grain].
И спава и устаје ноћу и дању; и семе ниче и расте, да не зна он.
28 First the stalks [appeared]. Then the heads [appeared]. Then the full kernels in the heads [appeared].
Јер земља сама од себе најпре донесе траву, потом клас, па онда испуни пшеницу у класу.
29 As soon as the grain was ripe he sent [people] [MTY] to harvest it because it was time to harvest [the grain].”
А кад сазре род, одмах пошаље срп; јер наста жетва.
30 [Jesus told them] another [parable. He] said, “I will tell you [RHQ] how the [number of people] whose lives God rules in a new way [will continue to grow] (OR, each continue to have more and more influence in this world). I hope [RHQ] that this illustration will show this [to you].
И говораше: Какво ћемо казати да је царство Божје? Или у каквој ћемо га причи исказати?
31 [You know what happens to] mustard seeds when we plant them. Though mustard seeds are among the smallest of seeds, [here in Israel] they become large plants.
Оно је као зрно горушичино које кад се посеје у земљу мање је од свих семена на земљи;
32 After they are planted, they grow up and become larger than the other garden plants. They put out big branches so that birds are able to make nests in their shade.”
А кад се посеје, узрасте и буде веће од свег поврћа, и пусти гране велике да могу у његовом хладу птице небеске живети.
33 Jesus used many such illustrations when he talked to the people about God. If they were able to understand [some, he kept telling them more].
И таквим многим причама казиваше им реч, колико могаху слушати.
34 He always used parables when he spoke to them. But he explained all [the illustrations] to his own disciples when he was alone with them.
А без прича не говораше им ни речи. А ученицима посебно казиваше све.
35 On that same day, when the sun was setting, Jesus said to [his disciples], “Let’s cross over to the opposite side of [Lake Galilee in the boat].”
И рече им онај дан увече: Хајдемо на оне стране.
36 So they left the crowd, [got in] the boat where Jesus [already] was, and left. [Other people] went with them in other boats.
И отпустивши народ узеше Га како беше у лађи; а и друге лађе беху с Њим.
37 A strong wind came up and the waves started coming into the boat! The boat was soon nearly full [of water]!
И постаде велика олуја; и валови тако заливаху у лађу да се већ напуни.
38 Jesus was in the back part of the boat. He was sleeping, [with his head] on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher! (You ought to be concerned that we are about to die!/Are you not concerned that we are about to die?) [RHQ]”
А Он на крми спаваше на узглављу; и пробудише Га, и рекоше Му: Учитељу! Зар Ти не мариш што гинемо?
39 So Jesus got up and rebuked the wind. Then he said to the lake, “Be quiet! Be still! [DOU]” The wind [immediately] blowing and then [the lake] became very calm.
И уставши запрети ветру, и рече мору: Ћути, престани. И утоли ветар, и постаде тишина велика.
40 He said to the disciples, “([I am disappointed that] you are afraid [like that]!/Why are you afraid [like that]?) [RHQ] Do you not yet believe [that I can protect you]?”
И рече им: Зашто сте тако страшљиви? Како немате вере.
41 They were very awestruck. They said to one another, “[Not only do the demons obey this man, but] even the wind and the waves obey him! “(What kind of man is he?/This man is [not like ordinary] people!) [RHQ]”
И уплашише се врло, и говораху један другом: Ко је Овај, дакле, да Га и ветар и море слушају?
