Mark 4 (BREBRG)

1Jezuz en em lakaas c'hoazh da gelenn, e-tal ar mor, hag ur bobl vras o vezañ en em zastumet en e gichen, e pignas en ur vag hag ec'h azezas enni, hag an holl bobl a oa war an douar e-tal ar mor.Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore.

2Deskiñ a rae dezho kalz a draoù, dre barabolennoù, hag e lavare dezho en e gelennadurezh:And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3Selaouit. Setu, un hader a yeas er-maez da hadañ;“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4hag evel ma hade, ul lodenn eus an had a gouezhas a-hed an hent, hag al laboused a zeuas hag he debras holl.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Ul lodenn all a gouezhas war ul lec'h meinek, e-lec'h ma oa nebeut a zouar; ha kerkent e savas, abalamour ne oa ket aet don en douar;Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6met pa zeuas an heol, e voe devet, ha dre ma ne oa ket a wrizienn, e sec'has.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Ul lodenn all a gouezhas e-touez ar spern; hag ar spern a greskas hag he mougas, ha ne roas ket a frouezh.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Ul lodenn all a gouezhas en douar mat hag e roas frouezh, o sevel hag o kreskiñ, en hevelep doare ma roas ur c'hreunenn tregont, unan all tri-ugent, hag unan all kant.Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop—one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.”

9Hag e lavaras dezho: ra selaouo, an neb en deus divskouarn da glevout.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Met, pa voe e-unan, ar re a oa en-dro dezhañ, gant an daouzek, a c'houlennas digantañ diwar-benn ar barabolenn-se.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Eñ a lavaras dezho: Roet eo deoc'h-hu da anavezout traoù kuzhet rouantelezh Doue; met evit ar re a-ziavaez, pep tra a zo lavaret dre barabolennoù,He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,

12evit o welout, e welont ha n'anavezont ket, hag o klevout, e klevont ha ne gomprenont ket, en aon na zistrofent, ha na vefe pardonet dezho o fec'hedoù.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Hag e lavaras dezho: Ha ne gomprenit ket ar barabolenn-se? Ha penaos e komprenot ar re all?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14An hader a had ger Doue.The farmer sows the word.

15Ar re a zo a-hed an hent, eo ar re ma'z eo hadet ar ger ennañ, met raktal m'o deus e glevet, e teu Satan hag a zilam ar ger a oa bet hadet en o c'halonoù;Some are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

16ar re a zegemer an had el lec'hioù meinek, eo ar re a glev ar ger, hag e zegemer da gentañ gant joa;Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17met n'o deus ket a wrizienn enno oc'h-unan, ha ne badont nemet ur pennad; dre-se, pa zeu ar glac'har pe an heskinerezh abalamour d'ar ger, e kavont kerkent skouer fall.But they themselves have no root, and they remain for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.

18Hag ar re a zegemer an had e-touez an drein, eo ar re a selaou ar ger;Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19met prederioù ar bed-mañ, ha tromplerezh ar pinvidigezhioù hag an holl c'hoantoù evit an traoù all o tont, a voug ar ger, hag e laka difrouezh.but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

20Met ar re o deus degemeret an had en un douar mat, eo ar re a selaou ar ger, en degemer, hag a zoug frouezh, ur c'hreunenn tregont, unan all tri-ugent, hag unan all kant.Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”

21Lavarout a reas dezho c'hoazh: Degas a reer ur c'houlaouenn evit he lakaat dindan ar boezell, pe dindan ar gwele? N'eo ket evit he lakaat war ur c'hantolor?Jesus also said to them, “Does anyone bring in a lamp to put it under a basket or under a bed? Doesn’t he set it on a stand?

22Rak n'eus netra kuzhet na zle bezañ disklêriet, ha n'eus netra goloet na vo gwelet gant an holl.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Mar en deus unan bennak divskouarn da glevout, ra selaouo.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Lavarout a reas dezho c'hoazh: Lakait evezh ouzh ar pezh a glevit. Muzuliet e vo deoc'h gant ar memes muzul ho po muzuliet d'ar re all, ha c'hoazh e vo roet ouzhpenn deoc'h-hu c'hwi a selaou.He went on to say, “Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you.

25Rak roet e vo d'an neb en deus; met an hini n'en deus ket, e vo lamet digantañ memes ar pezh en deus.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Lavarout a reas c'hoazh: Bez' emañ diwar-benn rouantelezh Doue evel ma taolfe un den had en douar;Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27pe e kousk, pe e sav, noz pe deiz, an had a ziwan hag a gresk hep ma oar penaos.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Rak an douar a ro anezhañ e-unan, da gentañ ar geot, goude an dañvouezenn, hag ar c'hreunenn en dañvouezenn.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Ha pa vez darev ar frouezh, e lakaer raktal ar falz ennañ, dre ma'z eo prest an eost.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Lavarout a reas c'hoazh: Ouzh petra e hañvalin rouantelezh Doue? Pe dre beseurt parabolenn he diskouezimp?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Heñvel eo ouzh ur c'hreunenn sezo; pa he hader, ez eo ar bihanañ eus holl hadoù an douar;It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32met goude ma vez hadet, e sav hag e teu brasoc'h eget al louzoù all, hag e taol brankoù, en hevelep doare ma c'hell laboused an neñv chom dindan he skeud.But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”

33Disklêriañ a reas dezho ger Doue dre galz a barabolennoù en doare-mañ, hervez ma c'hellent e glevout.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Ha ne gomze ket outo hep parabolenn; met a-du, e tisplege pep tra d'e ziskibien.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35En deiz-se, pa voe deuet an noz, e lavaras dezho: Tremenomp en tu all d'an dour.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Ha goude bezañ kaset kuit ar bobl, e tegasjont Jezuz er vag, evel ma oa enni; hag e oa ivez bagoù bihan all ouzh e ambroug.After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.

37Neuze e savas un taol-avel bras, hag ar c'hoummoù-mor a yeas er vag, en hevelep doare ma leunie.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Eñ a oa e diadreñv ar vag, kousket war ur blueg; hag e tihunjont anezhañ o lavarout: Mestr, ha ne rez van ebet eus ma en em gollomp?But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”

39Eñ, o vezañ dihunet, a c'hourc'hemennas an avelioù, hag a lavaras d'ar mor: Tav, bez sioul. An avel a davas, hag e voe ur sioulder bras.Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.

40Neuze e lavaras dezho: Perak hoc'h eus aon? Penaos n'hoc'h eus ket a feiz?“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Hag o devoe un aon bras, hag e lavarent an eil d'egile: Met piv eo hemañ, ma sent memes an avel hag ar mor outañ?Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
