Mark 4 (BVW) · Opened

1Paɗ tǝrkaakǝ Yǝso sakandaɗa mi kapat hawurta ngomkǝ nofchǝ ka'ǝn, tǝrkǝna hur kommbawal sokkǝnhi kǝ hurkǝn, nofchǝ oi a mi chicheng hawurkǝn.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.

2Nakna sakandakandǝhara a hur sakǝtkǝn tǝ ndatwa.And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3Sǝkama! chek lǝ huɗata kish ka hǝfta“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Nakna weshǝ witǝkǝn, funǝ witǝkǝn hǝmkǝnda hai kǝ hur mbanda, ɓak hanɗishcha chathlanda.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Funǝ witǝkǝn paɗ hǝhatkǝnnda ɗar fufurta ɓǝɗi nguchit furtǝsǝ ɗiichin, tifkǝnda kish leɗleɗ, kǝthlǝm ngafurtǝsa ɗarkǝn ɗiichinwa,Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Tǝkkǝ hwatfarǝhi, lifirkǝndaɗi kǝthlǝm nga thlorǝ'ensǝ ɗiichinwa, hwarkǝnaɗi.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Paɗ funǝ hǝhatkǝnda hur ndahcha, mwankǝnda paɗ njekthlang ndahchiyu ɓǝla'utǝ sǝt hwechafuwa.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Funǝ paɗ hǝhatkǝndahai kǝ hachahai ɗiichin mbulkǝn sǝkǝn hwechafa, funǝ kumchit mǝkkan, funǝ kumchit tehhweth, funǝ paɗ kumchit kum.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.”

9Ndak Yǝso wa: "Le nat thlǝmat sǝktǝ'ensi kǝ sǝkkǝn."Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Nak Yǝso ichitkǝn, fichile nduk tǝndǝ tǝ kimshechi'en kumngǝrǝnsǝ chap, sahahndǝ sakǝt shuniniyu.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Ndangnakandǝwa: "kunang ngǝmaficha kunisi kǝ sǝnnuni i naka ɓuɓweeta hur mwanda Fara, fichile nguchika hurnuni, chikamǝ naki mbwa'anda kanda hur sakǝtkǝn.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,

12Nanda kǝllathi kǝ kǝllathi chika kichu ngunda natwa, kǝ kandǝ thlǝmathi kǝ kat thlǝmathi chika kichu ngunda sǝktǝwa. Kǝthlǝm ma shiɗndǝ kichu nanda tǝɓǝrtǝhi ɓǝnda Fara kǝ kalang fichi ɓǝɓichitfechengnanda kandǝhi.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Ndangnakandǝwa, awi sǝnwuni sakǝt shuniniyuwa? Nakuni sǝn yakat sakchikǝnwa kǝnni?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Lǝ huɗaɗiyu hiftǝ shunda Fara.The farmer sows the word.

15Fichile hǝhatkahai kǝ hur mbandǝyu, kandang naka sakǝt fichile hǝftǝ fichǝ shuwunkǝna hanndǝkikechengnandǝyu, kǝ sǝktǝnda chat kichuyu ɓak sheɗanna thlandǝ kandǝhar.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.

16Kichu paɗ hanwitǝ hǝftǝ ficha hur fufurtǝyu, kandang naka fichile sǝkkǝ shuwunkǝn thlǝkndǝ tǝ mbǝnfata.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17A nakǝn sutǝ thlora hanndǝkikechengnanduwa, nga alchindengnandǝsuwa, ma yimnda hur ɓahtǝ kǝthlǝm shuniniyu chikndǝ hansarǝhi.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.

18Funǝ paɗ kandang naka sakǝt fichile hǝhatka hur ndahchiyu, kandang sǝkkǝ shuwunkǝn,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19paɗ ǝnat kishita tǝ kǝnecha tǝ yah icha kishita, yimkǝndǝsi njaǝn shuwunkǝnna kanda suwa kweshchaǝnwa.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.

20Fichile hǝhtǝ ficha hur furtǝ ɗiichinyu kandang naka sakǝt fichile sǝkkǝ shuwunkǝn thlǝknda, sǝkndǝ torsi mbǝskǝndǝ chekǝtkǝn, funǝ kumchit mǝkkan, funǝ kumchit tehhweth, funǝ kumchitkum.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.”

21Ɗǝk Yǝso mban tǝ ndanda kanduwa: "Mǝlapakaa la ɓak fichǝ tǝ tikesha huri kǝthlǝm kǝ supwang fichǝ tǝ i'naftǝwa, manga kichuwa kǝ ɗǝffichǝhi kǝka ɓǝt hunatwa? le ɓatunitǝkǝn kǝthlǝm kǝ ɗǝffuni kǝ ɓǝɗi la ɗǝftǝfichǝwa?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?

22Ənsǝnaka ɓuɓweetǝ nguchit ficha chandakishwa, ǝnsa supta nguchit ficha kwallandandǝwa.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Le nat thlǝmat sǝktǝensi kǝ sǝkkǝn!''If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Paɗ ndangna kandǝwa, ɗǝffam i'ndǝsi, kǝ ɗar ǝnǝnǝ sǝktuniyu, somǝɗi kǝkaɗtusi, tǝ ndǝkǝn nat ficha kǝkaɗutǝsi.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.

25Kǝthlǝm le natǝn'ensi, mǝlan nat ficha chekanda, le nguchitǝn'ensi paɗ chikale naka har'en na ficha thlandǝhar kǝ chekang ficha le natǝnsǝ'en.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Ndakǝn paɗwa: "Mwanda Fara nakǝn nda nifǝ weshkǝ witǝ'enna hachahaya.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Kǝ hunanhi kǝ thlaǝn tifkǝ witǝkǝnna kish, mwankǝn, sǝnutǝ ndu sǝkǝn kǝniwa.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Furtǝ tǝ i'ndǝ'en la ɓǝlaakǝn mwanandǝ hwarma paɗ kǝ ɓulǝn, sǝn hwechafa.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Ma nihiɗi hwasaǝn tǝ chelta, kǝthlǝm shee thlahɓǝt nǝhatǝ'en."And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Ndakǝn paɗwa, nakma kǝkaɗandǝ mwanda Farǝ tǝ mi? Manga kichuwa witǝ sakǝtmi natma kǝkaɗandǝfa?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Nakǝn nda hwan musdad, le nak nguɗeh a hur ichi la hǝftǝficha hachahaya.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Chika tǝ kichu ma hǝffa ficha, nan mwanda kǝ mbǝranka tahǝt afchihi hur hitǝkǝnyu, njarkǝnhi ka'ǝn paɗ kana hanɗishcha sokta kaaftǝ'en.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.”

33Tǝ sakǝt shuwunchǝ ka'ǝn mbutǝ Yǝso shunda Fara, kǝ sǝrǝt sǝndengnanda.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Mbwa'autǝ shunda kanda nga tǝ sakǝtkǝnwowa, paɗ mamǝlan ichitkǝn, la mbwa'angna kimshechi'en chikami.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Farǝniyu sǝk farǝhufta, ndangna kimshechi'enwa: "Chamǝn hawurkǝn kǝ mi chicheng le taatǝyu."When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Malkǝndǝ ngomnofchikǝn ɗiffi'in, pǝɗakndǝ tǝnda hur kommbawal ichitkǝn, paɗ kurǝkǝ tahchikǝn kanda.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.

37Ndǝkǝn thlatǝ husomba tǝrǝnna ka'ǝn, nak rǝnnikǝna hǝhrandǝ kommbawal tǝkǝn, nak ama hasa hur kommbawal tǝkǝn nda nan nǝhata.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Yǝso paɗ mǝla hur kommbawal tǝkǝn a ɗar ɓǝt sokta mǝla saɓweni, nahnang kimshechi'en ndangndǝwa: "Malɗǝm, nǝma tǝktǝhi, kǝmmuwowa?"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?”

39Nahǝnkǝn, ɓokangna rǝnnikǝnhi, ndangna rah amkǝnwa: "Thlarruhi! kǝ ngasnǝ kǝmma!" Ndǝkǝn thlartǝ rǝnnikǝnhi shǝyyet.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.

40Ndangna kimshchi'enwa: "Kǝthlǝm mǝ lechituni kakǝchiuyu? Paa kǝnakǝnya ngafǝrkit engnunisǝwowa?“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Lechitndaɗǝ kaka'ǝn, ndangndandaniwa: "Witǝ nifǝmǝkicheya, rǝnna'a tǝ ama kanda fǝra mwanda?Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
