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.

2 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,

3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.

4 As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.

5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

6 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

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.”

10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
tadanantara. m nirjanasamaye tatsa"ngino dvaada"sa"si. syaa"sca ta. m tadd. r.s. taantavaakyasyaartha. m papracchu. h|
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,
tadaa sa taanuditavaan ii"svararaajyasya niguu. dhavaakya. m boddhu. m yu. smaakamadhikaaro. asti;
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.’”

13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
atha sa kathitavaan yuuya. m kimetad d. r.s. taantavaakya. m na budhyadhve? tarhi katha. m sarvvaan d. r.s. taantaana bhotsyadhve?
14 The farmer sows the word.
biijavaptaa vaakyaruupaa. ni biijaani 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 lokaa vaakya. m "s. r.nvanti, kintu "srutamaatraat "saitaan "siighramaagatya te. saa. m mana. hsuuptaani taani vaakyaruupaa. ni biijaanyapanayati taeva uptabiijamaargapaar"svesvaruupaa. h|
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 janaa vaakya. m "srutvaa sahasaa paramaanandena g. rhlanti, kintu h. rdi sthairyyaabhaavaat ki ncit kaalamaatra. m ti. s.thanti tatpa"scaat tadvaakyaheto. h
17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
kutracit kle"se upadrave vaa samupasthite tadaiva vighna. m praapnuvanti taeva uptabiijapaa. saa. nabhuumisvaruupaa. h|
18 Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

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 uptabiijasaka. n.takabhuumisvaruupaa. h|
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.”

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?
tadaa so. aparamapi kathitavaan kopi jano diipaadhaara. m parityajya dro. nasyaadha. h kha. tvaayaa adhe vaa sthaapayitu. m diipamaanayati ki. m?
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.

23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
yasya "srotu. m kar. nau sta. h sa "s. r.notu|
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.

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.”

26 He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
anantara. m sa kathitavaan eko loka. h k. setre biijaanyuptvaa
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
jaagara. nanidraabhyaa. m divaani"sa. m gamayati, parantu tadviija. m tasyaaj naataruupe. naa"nkurayati varddhate ca;
28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
kintu phale. su pakke. su "sasyacchedanakaala. m j naatvaa sa tatk. sa. na. m "sasyaani chinatti, anena tulyamii"svararaajya. m|
30 He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
puna. h so. akathayad ii"svararaajya. m kena sama. m? kena vastunaa saha vaa tadupamaasyaami?
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 sar. sapaikena tulya. m yato m. rdi vapanakaale sar. sapabiija. m sarvvap. rthiviisthabiijaat k. sudra. m
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.”

33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
ittha. m te. saa. m bodhaanuruupa. m so. anekad. r.s. taantaistaanupadi. s.tavaan,
34 Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”

36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
tadaa te lokaan vis. rjya tamavilamba. m g. rhiitvaa naukayaa pratasthire; aparaa api naavastayaa saha sthitaa. h|
37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.

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?”
tadaa sa naukaaca"scaadbhaage upadhaane "siro nidhaaya nidrita aasiit tataste ta. m jaagarayitvaa jagadu. h, he prabho, asmaaka. m praa. naa yaanti kimatra bhavata"scintaa naasti?
39 He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
tadaa sa utthaaya vaayu. m tarjitavaan samudra ncoktavaan "saanta. h susthira"sca bhava; tato vaayau niv. rtte. abdhirnistara"ngobhuut|
40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
tadaa sa taanuvaaca yuuya. m kuta etaad. rk"sa"nkaakulaa bhavata? ki. m vo vi"svaaso naasti?
41 They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
