Mark 4
1 Jesus el sifilpa luti sisken Lulu Galilee. Mwet puspis tukeni nu yorol we, ouinge el sroak nu fin soko oak ac muta fac in kof uh, ac mwet uh tu weacn uh.
And again he began to teach by the seaside. And a large crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. And the whole crowd was on the land by the sea.
2 El luti ma puspis nu selos ke kas in pupulyuk, ac fahk ouinge:
And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 “Porongo! Tuh oasr sie mwet som in taknelik fiten wheat.
"Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
4 Ac ke el sisalik fita inima uh, kutu putatla nu pe inkanek uh, ac won uh tuku ac kangla.
And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Kutu pac putati nu yen eoteot, yen ma srikla fohk we. Fita inge sa na in srunak mweyen fohk we suloal.
And others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Na ke fulen faht uh sreya elos uli, ac ke sripen oka uh tia kapla in loal pwanang sa na in masla.
And when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Ac kutu fita uh putatla nu in fohk ma oasr okan kokul we, ac kokul uh kapak ac kupoiya, oru sacn uh tia ku in fokla.
And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Tuh kutu fita uh putatla nu in fohk wo ac srunak ac kapak arulana wo, ac fokla: fokin kutu tolngoul, fokin kutu onngoul, ac fokin kutu siofok.”
And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth thirty times, and sixty times, and one hundred times."
9 Ac Jesus el fahk, “Ke ma inge, kowos porongo fin oasr srewos!”
And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
10 Ac ke Jesus el mukena muta, mwet tumal lutlut ac kutu sin mwet su lohng mwe luti lal elos tuku nu yorol ac siyuk elan akkalemye kalmen pupulyuk lal ah.
And when he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 El topuk nu selos, “Itukot nu suwos in etu ma lukma ke Tokosrai lun God. A elos su muta sayowos, elos lohng ke pusren pupulyuk mukena.
And he said to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
12 Ouinge, in oana ma simla, ‘Elos ac liye na liye A tia akilen; Ac elos ac lohng na lohng A tia etu. Mweyen elos fin etu, elos ac ku in forla nu sin God, Na ku in nunak munas nu selos.’”
that 'seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn and be forgiven.'"
13 Na Jesus el siyuk selos, “Ya kowos tia kalem ke pupulyuk se inge? Na kowos ac etu fuka pupulyuk nukewa saya?
And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
14 Mwet taknelik el taknelik kas lun God.
The farmer sows the word.
15 Kutu mwet uh oana fita ma putatla pe inkanek uh. Ke pacl se na elos lohng kas uh, Satan el tuku ac eisla lukelos.
And these are the ones by the road where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
16 Kutu mwet uh oana fita ma putatla yen eoteot uh. Ke pacl se na elos lohng kas uh, elos sa na in eis ac insewowo kac.
And these in a similar way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
17 Tusruktu tiana sremla wo in nunak lalos pwanang ac tiana oan paht. Ouinge ke pacl mwe lokoalok ac mwe ongoiya sikyak ke sripen kas inge, elos ac sa na in fuhleak.
And they have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. Then, when oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 Kutu mwet uh oana fita ma putati yen ma oasr okan kokul we. Elos inge pa mwet su lohng kas uh,
And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
19 tusruktu elos nunkala yohk ke moul lun faclu, ac lungse mwe kasrup, ac mwel ma puspis saya, na ma inge kupoiya kas uh, na elos tia isus fahko. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Tusruktu, kutu mwet uh oana fita ma putati fin fohk wo uh. Elos lohng kas, ac eis, ac isus fahko: kutu pacl tolngoul, kutu pacl onngoul, ac kutu pacl siofok.”
And those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
21 Jesus el sifil tafwela ac fahk, “Ya nu oasr mwet akosak sie lam ac usak filiya ye tup uh ku ye bed uh? Ya el ac tia filiya fin sukan lam uh?
And he said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not put on a stand?
22 Kutena ma su wikla ac fah ikakla lemtulauk, ac ma nukewa ma afyufi ac fah ikakelik.
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 Kuwos in porongo, fin oasr srewos.”
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 El oayapa fahk nu selos, “Kowos porongo akwoye ma kowos lohng uh! Tuh kutena mwe srikasrak kowos orekmakin in sang nununku mwet uh, God El ac fah orekmakin in sang nununkekowos, tusruktu ku pac in upa liki.
And he said to them, "Consider carefully what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.
25 Mwet su oasr ma lal, fah itukyang pac kutu nu sel; a el su wangin ma lal, finne ma srisrik ma oan yorol, ac fah itukla lukel!”
For whoever has, more will be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
26 Na Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Tokosrai lun God oana ke sie mwet el sisalik fita inima lal.
And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
27 Na el ac motul ke fong uh ac ngetnget ke len uh, ac fita uh srunak ac kapak na, tusruktu mwet sac tiana etu lah fuka tuh sikyak ouinge.
and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
28 Fohk uh sifacna oru fita uh in kapak ac isus fahko. Ma se sikyak meet uh pa srun, na fah ung mangosr tuku toko, na saflaiya fokla ung in wheat uh.
The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Ke pacl se matula wheat uh, mwet sac el ac pakela ke mitmit natul uh, mweyen sun pacl in kosrani.”
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
30 Na Jesus el fahk, “Mea kut ac luma Tokosrai lun God nu kac uh? Mwe pupulyuk fuka kut ku in sang akkalemye uh?
And he said, "To what will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
31 Ac fah ouinge: sie mwet el eis sie fiten mustard, fita se ma srik emeet fin faclu, ac el yukwiya infohk uh.
It's like a mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the soil, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
32 Na tok fita sac kapak ac yohk liki sacn nukewa. Lesak kac uh matol, pwanang won yen engyeng uh elos tuku ac oru ahng lalos olo ac muta ye lulin sak uh.”
And when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."
33 Ke Jesus el fahkak kas lun God nu sin mwet uh, el orekmakin kas in pupulyuk puspis pac saya oana inge. El luti nu selos fal nu ke lupan ma elos ku in kalem kac.
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 El ac tia kaskas nu selos el fin tia orekmakin pupulyuk; tusruktu pacl ma el ac mukena muta yurin mwet tumal lutlut uh, el ac aketeya ma nukewa nu selos.
And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Ke eku in len sacna, Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Kut som nu lefahlo.”
And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
36 Ouinge elos som liki un mwet uh. Mwet tumal lutlut elos sroang nu fin oak soko ma Jesus el muta fac ah, ac elos tukeni kalot. Oasr pac oak saya welulos som.
And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
37 Tia pact na eng na upa se tuhyak ac noa uh fungulya oak uh, ac oak uh apkuran in moti.
And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 Jesus el motul ke kapin oak uh, ac ilung ilul se. Mwet tumal lutlut elos oaksalak ac fahk, “Mwet Luti, ya wanginna sum lah kut ac misa?”
And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are dying?"
39 Jesus el tukakek ac kai eng uh, “Misla!” Ac el fahk pac nu sin noa uh, “Tui!” Na eng uh wanginla, ac arulana mihsi.
And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace. Be still." And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Na Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut. “Efu kowos ku sangeng? Ya srakna wangin lulalfongi lowos?”
And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
41 A elos arulana sangeng ac fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Mwet se su mwet se inge? Finne eng uh ac noa uh elos aksol pac!”
And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
