Maarqos 4
1 Yesuus ammas qarqara galaanichaatti barsiisuu jalqabe. Tuunni naannoo isaatti walitti qabame akka malee guddaa ture; utuu namoonni hundi qarqara galaanichaa irra afaan bishaanii jiranuu, inni bidiruu yaabbatee galaanicha irra achi hiiqee taaʼe.
And again, he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered to him, so much so that, climbing into a boat, he was seated on the sea. And the entire crowd was on the land along the sea.
2 Fakkeenyaanis waan baayʼee isaan barsiise; barsiisa isaa keessattis akkana jedhe:
And he taught them many things in parables, and he said to them, in his doctrine:
3 “Mee dhagaʼaa! Kunoo, namichi sanyii facaasu tokko sanyii facaafachuu baʼe.
“Listen. Behold, the sower went out to sow.
4 Utuu inni facaasaa jiruus sanyiin tokko tokko karaa irra buʼe; simbirroonnis dhufanii nyaatanii fixan.
And while he was sowing, some fell along the way, and the birds of the air came and ate it.
5 Kaan immoo lafa kattaa, iddoo biyyoo baayʼee hin qabne irra buʼe. Sanyiin sunis sababii biyyoon sun gad fageenya hin qabaatiniif dafee biqile.
Yet truly, others fell upon stony ground, where it did not have much soil. And it rose up quickly, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Yommuu aduun baatetti garuu biqiltuun sun ni coollage; waan hidda hin qabaatiniifis ni goge.
And when the sun was risen, it was scorched. And because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Sanyiin biraas qoraattii keessa buʼe; qoraattiin sunis guddatee biqiltuu sana hudhe; biqiltuun sunis ija hin naqanne.
And some fell among thorns. And the thorns grew up and suffocated it, and it did not produce fruit.
8 Ammas sanyiin kaan biyyoo gaarii irra buʼe. Ni biqile; ni guddate; ijas ni naqate. Inni tokko soddoma, kaan jaatama, kaan immoo dhibba naqate.”
And some fell on good soil. And it brought forth fruit that grew up, and increased, and yielded: some thirty, some sixty, and some one hundred.”
9 Yesuusis, “Namni gurra dhagaʼu qabu kam iyyuu haa dhagaʼu” jedhe.
And he said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 Yeroo inni kophaa turettis warri Kudha Lamaanii fi namoonni naannoo isaa turan biraa waaʼee fakkeenya sanaa isa gaafatan.
And when he was alone, the twelve, who were with him, questioned him about the parable.
11 Innis akkana jedheen; “Icciitiin mootummaa Waaqaa isiniif kennameera. Warra ala jiranitti garuu wanni hundinuu fakkeenyaan himama;
And he said to them: “To you, it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to those who are outside, everything is presented in parables:
12 kunis, “‘Isaan akka hin deebinee fi akka dhiifama hin arganneef, arguu inuma argu, garuu hin qalbeeffatan; dhagaʼuus inuma dhagaʼu, garuu hin hubatan.’”
‘so that, seeing, they may see, and not perceive; and hearing, they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they may be converted, and their sins would be forgiven them.’”
13 Yesuusis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin fakkeenya kana hin hubattanii? Yoos isin akkamitti fakkeenya hunda hubattu ree?
And he said to them: “Do you not understand this parable? And so, how will you understand all the parables?
14 Namichi sanyii facaasu sun dubbicha facaasa.
He who sows, sows the word.
15 Namoonni tokko tokko sanyii karaa irraa, lafa dubbichi itti facaafame sana fakkaatu. Akkuma isaan dubbicha dhagaʼaniin Seexanni dhufee dubbicha isaan keessatti facaafame sana fudhata.
Now there are those who are along the way, where the word is sown. And when they have heard it, Satan quickly comes and takes away the word, which was sown in their hearts.
16 Warri kaan akkuma sanyii lafa kattaa irratti facaafamee ti; isaan yommuu dubbicha dhagaʼanitti yommusuma gammachuun fudhatu.
And similarly, there are those who were sown upon stony ground. These, when they have heard the word, immediately accept it with gladness.
17 Garuu isaan waan hidda hin qabneef yeroo gabaabaa qofa turu. Yeroo rakkinni yookaan ariʼatamni sababii dubbichaatiif dhufutti isaan dafanii gufatu.
But they have no root in themselves, and so they are for a limited time. And when next tribulation and persecution arises because of the word, they quickly fall away.
18 Ammas warri kaan sanyii qoraattii keessatti facaafame fakkaatu; isaanis warra dubbicha dhagaʼanii dha;
And there are others who are sown among thorns. These are those who hear the word,
19 garuu yaaddoon addunyaa kanaa, gowwoomsaan qabeenyaatii fi hawwiin waan garaa garaa isaan seenee dubbicha hudhee ija naqachuu dhowwa. (aiōn g165)
but worldly tasks, and the deception of riches, and desires about other things enter in and suffocate the word, and it is effectively without fruit. (aiōn g165)
20 Warri kaanis sanyii biyyoo gaarii irratti facaafame fakkaatu; isaanis dubbicha ni dhagaʼu; ni fudhatu; ijas ni naqatu; inni tokko soddoma, kaan jaatama, kaan immoo dhibba naqata.”
And there are those who are sown upon good soil, who hear the word and accept it; and these bear fruit: some thirty, some sixty, and some one hundred.”
21 Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin ibsaa gombisaa jala yookaan siree jala kaaʼuuf fidduu? Qooda kanaa baattuu isaa irra keessu mitii?
And he said to them: “Would someone enter with a lamp in order to place it under a basket or under a bed? Would it not be placed upon a lampstand?
22 Wanni dhokfame kam iyyuu mulʼifamuuf jiraatii; wanni haguugame kam iyyuus ifatti baafamuuf jiraatii.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. Neither was anything done in secret, except that it may be made public.
23 Namni kam iyyuu yoo gurra dhagaʼu qabaate haa dhagaʼu.”
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 Innis itti fufee akkana jedheen; “Waan dhageessan qalbeeffadhaa. Safartuu ittiin safartaniinis, hammas caalaa iyyuu isiniif safarama.
And he said to them: “Consider what you hear. With whatever measure you have measured out, it shall be measured back to you, and more shall be added to you.
25 Kan qabu kamiif iyyuu itti dabalamee ni kennama; kan hin qabne garuu wanni inni qabu iyyuu irraa fudhatama.”
For whoever has, to him it shall be given. And whoever has not, from him even what he has shall be taken away.”
26 Ammas akkana jedhe; “Mootummaan Waaqaa nama lafa isaa irratti sanyii facaasu tokko fakkaata.
And he said: “The kingdom of God is like this: it is as if a man were to cast seed on the land.
27 Akkamitti akka taʼe namichi beekuu baatu illee, inni rafus yookaan dammaqus, sanyiin sun halkanii guyyaa ni biqila; ni guddatas.
And he sleeps and he arises, night and day. And the seed germinates and grows, though he does not know it.
28 Lafti ofuma isheetiin midhaan baafti; jalqabatti biqila, itti aansee hudhaa midhaanii, ergasii immoo midhaan guutuu baafti.
For the earth bears fruit readily: first the plant, then the ear, next the full grain in the ear.
29 Namichis akkuma midhaanichi bilchaateen haamuu jalqaba; yeroon haamaa gaʼeeraatii.”
And when the fruit has been produced, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest has arrived.”
30 Ammas inni akkana jedhe; “Mootummaan Waaqaa maal fakkaata jechuu dandeenya? Yookaan fakkeenya maaliitiin isa ibsina?
And he said: “To what should we compare the kingdom of God? Or to what parable should we compare it?
31 Inni sanyii sanaaficaa kan sanyiiwwan lafa irra jiran hunda irra xinnaa taʼe fakkaata.
It is like a grain of mustard seed which, when it has been sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds which are in the earth.
32 Erga facaafamee booddee garuu guddatee biqiltuu hunda caala; dameewwan gurguddaa simbirroonnis gaaddisa isaa jala jiraachuu dandaʼanis qabaata.”
And when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all the plants, and it produces great branches, so much so that the birds of the air are able to live under its shadow.”
33 Yesuusis fakkeenyawwan akkanaa baayʼeedhaan hamma isaan dhagaʼuu dandaʼan dubbicha isaanitti dubbate.
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as much as they were able to hear.
34 Innis fakkeenyaan malee waan tokko illee isaanitti hin dubbanne. Yeroo kophaa turanitti garuu waan hunda barattoota isaatiif ni ibse.
But he did not speak to them without a parable. Yet separately, he explained all things to his disciples.
35 Inni gaafas, yeroo galgalaaʼetti, “Kottaa gama ceenaa” isaaniin jedhe.
And on that day, when evening had arrived, he said to them, “Let us cross over.”
36 Isaanis tuuta namootaa sana achitti dhiisanii Yesuusin akkuma inni bidiruu keessa jirutti fuudhanii deeman. Bidiruuwwan biraas isa wajjin turan.
And dismissing the crowd, they brought him, so that he was in one boat, and other boats were with him.
37 Bubbeen hamaan tokko ni kaʼe; dambaliinis bidiruu sana dhaʼee bidiruun sun bishaaniin guutamuu gaʼe.
And a great wind storm occurred, and the waves broke over the boat, so that the boat was being filled.
38 Yesuusis bidiruu sana keessa karaa duubaa boraatii tokko irra rafaa ture. Barattoonnis isa dammaqsanii, “Yaa barsiisaa, dhumuun keenya homaa si hin dhibuu?” jedhaniin.
And he was in the stern of the boat, sleeping on a pillow. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, does it not concern you that we are perishing?”
39 Innis kaʼee bubbee sana ifate; dambalii sanaanis, “Calʼisi! Gab jedhis!” jedhe. Bubbeen sunis ni calʼise; tasgabbiin guddaanis ni taʼe.
And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and he said to the sea: “Silence. Be stilled.” And the wind ceased. And a great tranquility occurred.
40 Innis barattoota isaatiin, “Isin maaliif akkana sodaattu? Isin amma iyyuu amantii hin qabdanii?” jedhe.
And he said to them: “Why are you afraid? Do you still lack faith?”
41 Isaanis akka malee sodaatanii, “Namichi bubbee fi dambaliin iyyuu ajajamaniif kun eenyu?” jedhanii wal gaafatan.
And they were struck with a great fear. And they said to one another, “Who do you think this is, that both wind and sea obey him?”
