Marcos 4
1 Inrugina manen a nangisuro iti igid ti dan-aw. Ket adu a tattao ti naummong iti aglawlawna isu a limmugan isuna iti maysa a bangka ket nagtugaw. Amin dagiti adu a tattao ket adda idiay igid iti baybay.
Jesus began teaching beside the Sea again. So many people came to listen to him that he climbed into a boat and sat in it on the water while the crowd listened from the shore.
2 Ket insurona kadakuada iti adu a banbanag babaen kadagiti pangngarig, ket iti panangisurona, kinunana kadakuada:
He illustrated his teachings using many stories.
3 “Dumngegkayo, rimmuar ti agmulmula tapno mapan agimula.
“Listen,” he said. “A sower went out to sow.
4 Kabayatan iti panagmulana, adda dagiti bukel a natnag iti dalan, ket immay dagiti billit ket kinnanda dagitoy.
Now as he was scattering the seeds, some fell on the path, and birds came and ate them up.
5 Natnag dagiti dadduma a bukbukel iti kabatoan, no sadinno ket awan iti adu unay a dagana. Dagus a nagtuboda, gapu ta saan a nauneg ti daga.
Other seeds fell on stony ground where there wasn't much earth. In the shallow soil the plants started growing quickly, but because the soil wasn't deep
6 Ngem idi nakatangkayagen ti init, nadarangda gapu ta saanda a nagramut, ket nalaylayda.
they were scorched when the sun came up. Since they didn't have any real roots, they soon withered.
7 Natnag dagiti dadduma a bukel kadagiti nasiit a mulmula. Dimmakkel dagiti nasiit a mulmula ket lineppesda dagitoy, ket saanda a nakapataud iti bukel.
Other seeds fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked the sprouting seeds, so they produced nothing.
8 Natnag dagiti dadduma a bukbukel iti nadam-eg a daga ket nakapataud iti bukel idi nagrusing ken dimmakkel daytoy. Adda ti nagbunga iti mamintallo-pulo, mamin-innem a pulo ken mamin-sangagasut a daras no ania iti naimula.”
Other seeds fell on good soil where they sprouted and grew. They produced a harvest of some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times what was planted.
9 Ket kinunana, “Siasinoman nga addaan lapayag, dumngeg koma.”
If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying.”
10 Idi agmaymaysa ni Jesus, nagdamag dagiti asideg kenkuana ken dagiti Sangapulo ket Dua maipanggep kadagiti pangngarig.
When he was by himself, his twelve disciples and the others who were with him asked him what the illustrations meant.
11 Kinunana kadakuada, “Naited kadakayo ti palimed ti pagarian ti Dios. Ngem kadagiti adda iti ruar, tunggal banag ket pangngarig,
He told them, “The mystery of God's kingdom has been given to you to understand. But outsiders only have the stories,
12 tapno uray kumitada, wen makitada, ngem saanda a mailasin, ket uray agdengngegda, wen denggenda, ngem saanda a maawatan, ta no maawatanda, amangan no agsublida iti Dios ket pakawanenna ida.”
so that even though they see, they don't really ‘see,’ and even though they hear, they don't understand, otherwise they might turn to me and be forgiven.”
13 Kinunana kadakuada, “Saanyo kadi a maawatan daytoy a pangngarig? Kasanoyonto ngarud a maawatan dagiti dadduma pay a pangngarig?
“Don't you understand this story?” Jesus asked them. “If you can't, how are you going to understand all the other stories?
14 Inmula ti agimulmula ti sao.
The sower sows the word.
15 Dadduma ket dagiti natnag iti igid ti kalsada, a nakaimulaan ti sao. No kasta a mangngeganda daytoy, dagus nga umay ni Satanas ket alaenna ti sao a naimula kadakuada.
The seeds on the path where the word is sown illustrate those who hear the message, but then Satan immediately comes along and takes away the word that's been sown in them.
16 Dadduma met ket dagiti naimula iti kabatoan, idi nangngeganda ti sao, dagus nga inawatda daytoy a sirarag-o;
Likewise the seeds on the rocky ground illustrate those who hear the word, and happily accept it right away.
17 Ket awananda iti ramut, ngem makaanusda iti apagbiit. Kalpasan ket sumangbay iti nakaro a rigat wenno pannakaidadanes gapu iti sao, ket dagus a maitibkulda.
But since they have no real roots, they only last for a while until trouble or persecution comes, and then they quickly fall away.
18 Ken dagiti dadduma ket dagiti naimula iti ayan dagiti nasiit a mulmula. Mangngeganda ti sao,
Those sown among the thorns illustrate those who hear the word,
19 ngem sumrek dagiti pakaseknan ti lubong, ti kinamanangallilaw dagiti kinabaknang, ken ti panangtarigagay kadagiti dadduma a banbanag, ket bekkelenna ti sao, ket agbalin daytoy a saan a makabunga. (aiōn g165)
but worries of this world, the temptation of wealth, and other distractions choke the growth of the word, and it becomes unproductive. (aiōn g165)
20 Ket adda met dagiti kasla naimula iti nasayaat a daga, isuda dagidiay nakangngeg iti sao ken nangawat iti daytoy ken nagbungada: dadduma ket tallo-pulo, ken dadduma ket innem a pulo ken dadduma ket sangagasut. “
But the seeds sown on good soil illustrate those who hear the word, accept it, and are productive—producing thirty, sixty, and hundred times what was originally sown.
21 Kinuna ni Jesus kadakuada, “Mangiserrekkayo kadi iti pagsilawan iti uneg iti balay tapno ikabilyo daytoy iti sirok ti basket, wenno iti sirok ti katre? Saan kadi nga iserrekyo daytoy ket ikabilyo iti pagikabilan ti pagsilawan.
Who puts a lamp under a bucket, or beneath a bed?” Jesus asked them. “No, you put a lamp up on a lamp-stand.
22 Ta awan iti nailemmeng, a saanto a maammoan, ken awan iti aniaman a palimed a saan a maibutaktak.
Everything that is hidden will be revealed, and everything that is secret will be brought out into the open.
23 No addaman ti addaan lapayag a dumngeg, dumngeg koma.”
If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying!
24 Kinunana kadakuada, “Endenganyo ti dengdenggenyo, ta ti rukod nga ar-aramatenyo, isunto ti rukod a maaramat a mangrukod kadakayo; ket mainayonto pay daytoy kadakayo.
Pay attention to what you're hearing,” he told them, “for you will be given according to how much you want to receive, measure for measure.
25 Gapu ta ti siasinoman nga addaan, ad-adunto pay iti maited kenkuana, ket siasinoman nga awanan, maalanto pay kenkuana ti aniaman nga adda kenkuana.
More will be given to those who already have understanding, but those who don't want to know will have what little understanding they have taken from them.
26 Ket kinunana, “Ti pagarian ti Dios ket kas iti maysa a lalaki a nagimula iti bukelna iti daga.
God's kingdom is like a man sowing seed in the ground,” Jesus said.
27 Matmaturog isuna iti rabii ken bumangbangon iti aldaw; ket agrusing ti bukel ken dumakkel, uray no saanna nga ammo no kasano.
“He goes to bed and gets up, day after day, but the man has no knowledge of how the seeds sprout and grow.
28 Patauden ti daga ti bukel a bukbukodna, umuna ti bulong, ken ti dawa, ket kalpasanna ti nataengan a bukel iti dawa.
The earth produces a harvest by itself. First a shoot appears, then the heads of grain, and then the heads of grain ripen.
29 Ket inton naluomen ti bukel, dagus nga alaenna ti kumpay gapu ta dimtengen ti panaggaapit.
When the grain is ripe, the farmer reaps it with a sickle, because the harvest is ready.
30 Ket kinunana, “Ania iti pangiyaspingantayo iti pagarian ti Dios, wenno ania iti pangngarig nga usarentayo a mangilawlawag iti daytoy?
What can we compare God's kingdom to? What illustration shall we use?” he asked.
31 Maiyarig daytoy iti bukel iti mustasa, no kasta a maimula, isu ti kabassitan kadagiti amin a bukbukel a naimula a naikabil iti daga.
“It's like a mustard seed, the tiniest seed of all.
32 Ngem inton maimula daytoy, dumakkel ket agbalin a dakdakkel pay ngem kadagiti amin a mulmula iti minuyongan. Mangpataud daytoy kadagiti dakkel a sangsanga, isu nga uray pay dagiti bilbillit iti langit ket mabalin nga agumok kadagiti sirok iti linongna.”
But when it's sown it grows into a plant that's larger than other plants. It has branches big enough that birds can roost in its shade.”
33 Babaen kadagiti adu a pangngarig a kas iti daytoy, insaona ti sao kadakuada, segun iti kabaelanda nga awaten,
Jesus used many of these illustrated stories when he spoke to the people so they would understand as much as they could.
34 ken saan isuna a nagsao kadakuada nga awan iti pangngarig. Ngem no kasta nga is-isuda laengen, ipalawagna ti tunggal banag kadagiti adalanna. Ngem idi is-isuda laeng impalawagna ti amin a banag kadagiti bukodna nga adalan.
In fact, when he spoke publicly, he only used stories; however in private he explained everything to his disciples.
35 Iti dayta nga aldaw, idi rabiin, kinunana kadakuada, “Bumallasiwtayo idiay bangir.”
Later that day, in the evening, he said to his disciples, “Let's go across to the other side of the Sea.”
36 Pinanawanda ngarud dagiti adu a tattao a kaduada ni Jesus, agsipud ta addan isunan iti bangka. Adda metdagiti dadduma a bangka a kaduana.
Leaving the crowd behind, the disciples went with Jesus and got into a boat. Other boats went with them.
37 Ket adda nadawel a bagyo a nangrugi ket sumaplisaplit dagiti dalluyon iti bangka isu a ngannganin mapunno ti bangka iti danum.
Soon a terrible storm started blowing, and waves crashed against the boat, filling it with water.
38 Ngem adda ni Jesus idiay kutit ti bangka, nakaturog a nakapungan. Riniingda isuna, a kunada, “Manursuro, awan kadi ti aniamanna kenka a dandanitayon a matay?”
Jesus was asleep in the stern, resting his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting at him, “Teacher, don't you care that we're about to drown?”
39 Ket iti panagriingna, tinubngarna ti angin ket imbagana iti baybay, “Talna, Tumalna.” Ket simmardeng ti angin, ket naglinnaay.
Jesus woke up. He told the wind to die down and told the waves, “Be quiet! Be still.” The wind stopped, and the water became completely calm.
40 Ket kinunana kadakuada, “Apay a mabutengkayo? Awan pay laeng kadi iti pammatiyo?”
“Why are you so frightened? Haven't you learned to trust me?” he asked them.
41 Kasta unay iti panagbutengda ket kinunada iti tunggal maysa, “Siasino ngarud daytoy, ta uray pay ti angin ken ti baybay ket agtulnog kenkuana?”
They were stunned and terrified. They asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
