Mark 4 (DIF) · Opened

1Ja nakaldra Nulu wonina wonti panto dirkalani ngujangujara jinkila. Ja kana wolara nunkangu jurborina wonti, ja Nau botani wirina wonti ja ngapani ngamana ngarina wonti, ja kana wolara panto dirkalani ngamana ngarina wonti mitani.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.

2Ja Nulu tanangu jeribaka jaurali ngujangujara marapu jinkina wonti, ja Nau tanangu ngujangujarali nunkanali jatana wonti:And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3„Ngaranau! Mai, jaupanietja wapana wonti jaupala.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Ja jendranguta nulu jaupanani, palpa paltuni purina wonti; ja paia wokarana wonti ja nina tajina wonti.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Palpa marda paltirani purina wonti, ja wata mita tjanka marapu ngamalkana wonti; ja nurujeli punkana wonti, ngangau mita puta nganana wonti.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Ja ditji matja dunkana, nau winjarina wonti; ja ngangau kapara pani nganana wonti, nau mujarina wonti.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Ja palpa dilkani purina wonti; ja dilka punkana wonti ja nina palimana wonti, ja wata tandra jinkina wonti.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Ja palpa mita ngumuni purina wonti, ja kuripunkana wonti ja punkana wonti ja tandra punkibana wonti ja mandrana wonti: Kulnujeli 30, kulnujeli 60, kulnujeli 100.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.”

9Ja Nau tanangu jatana wonti: Warle talpa ngamalkai ngarala, nulu ngaraiatimai!“Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Ja Nau kulnulu nganana, nina mili marapratjana ja mandrujeli, ja tanali nunkangunto, jakalkana wonti nunkangupini jeribaka jaurandru.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Ja Nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Jurangu matja jinkina warai, jaura kurukuru Godaia mililandru ngujamananto; tanangu, tana palarani nganai, pratjana jeribaka jaura nganai.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,

12Ngangau tanali najinani najinanto ja bulu ngujamananto, ja ngaranani ngarananto ja bulu ngundrananto; ngangau tana wata madlentjandru karitjinanto, tanani madlentji kalingananto.“so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Ja Nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Ninapini jeribaka jaura jura wata ngujamanani, ja worderu jura jeribaka jaura pratjana ngujamala nganai?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Iaupanietjali jaura jaupai.The farmer sows the word.

15Tana paltuni tanapini nganai; woderi jaura matja jaupana, ja tanali nina ngarana, nurujeli kutji wokarai ja jaura maniai, nina ngarani tananani matja jaupana.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.

16Tanangu jeribaka tanapini nganai, tanana marda paltirani matja jaupana; tanali jaura ngarai ja nurujeli murlali nina patai;Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Ja munta tana kapara pani nganai, a‐ai, tana maraltja nganai; ngadani ketjaketjana ja tirikaripaterina wokaranani jaurandru, tana wolja kalakalarila nganai.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.

18Ja palpa, tanana dilkani matja jaupana, tanapini nganai, tanali jaura ngarai,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19Ja nunkangupini mitani manujeli ngundrana, ja poto pirnaia jedibana, ja poto nguruja milkirina tanangu wiriai, ja jaura palimai, ja tandra pani punkibai.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.

20Ja tanapini nganai, tanana mita ngumuni matja jaupana; tanali jaura ngarai ja patai ja tandra punkibai; kulnujeli 30, kulnujeli 60, ja kulnujeli 100.“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.”

21Ja Nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Praitji wokarai, nina kokuni ngarinalu kara, turarani pirini ngarinalu kara kurala? Nau wata parai, nina praitjaia potuni kurala?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?

22Ngangau panila kurirpi nganai, naupini wata tinkari pantjinanto; ja panila kurukuruni pantjina wonti, a‐ai, praitjani wokarananto.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Kulnujeli talpa ngamalkai ngarala, nulu ngaraiatimai!“If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Ja Nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Najianau, mina jura ngarai: Mina kokujeli jura jinkiai, jenia koko jura nakaldra manina tikala nganai; ja jura ngaranani, tanali jurangu morla jinkila nganai.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.

25Ngangau warle ngamalkai, nunkangu Nulia jinkila nganai; ja warle wata ngamalkai, nunkangundru Nulia bakana jenia manila nganai, mina nulu ngamalkai.“For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Ja Nau jatana wonti: „Jeruja Godaia milila nganai, worderu kana kulnujeli paua mitani japai,Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Ja nau mukaturarai, ja jiritjiai tinkani ja ditjini, ja paua punkai ja wirdiriai; ja nau ko worderu.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Ngangau mita muntali tandra punkibai, ngopera nindri, ngadani mangatandra, ngadani tandra kantji mangatandrani.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Ja tandra talku ngananani, nurujeli nulu kirra jinpai, ngangau kampani ditji wokarana warai.“And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Ja Nau jatana wonti: „Worangu jeribaka ngaiani Godaia milila kurananto? Mina jeribaka jaurali ngaiani nina jeribaka kurananto kara?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Tandra wakawaka jeribaka, ninapini mitani matja jaupana, nau morla waka nganai tandra nguja marapuni mitani.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Ja nina matja jaupana, nau kuri punkai ja morla pirna pantjiai nindri marapuni, ja nguna pirna dunkalkai, jeruja pungalani nunkanani bakana paia ngaranala ngamai.“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.”

33Ja jeribaka jaura marapujeli Nulu tanangu jaura kaukaubana wonti, worderu tana ngurunguru nganana wonti ngarala.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Ja jeribaka jaura panini Nulu tanangu panila kaukaubana wonti; windri pilki Nulu milini nunkanani pratjana mildiri ngankana wonti.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Ja Nau tanangu, nunkangupini ditjini matja kalkaurarina, jatana wonti: „Ngaiana jerankaria pararananto.“When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Ja tanali kana wolara worarana wonti ja nina patana wonti worderu Nau botani nganana wonti; ja bakana bota nguru nunkangunto nganana wonti.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.

37Ja watara pirna wilparina wonti; ja mandikila botani pinpitarana wonti, jeruja nau ngampu ngapali manamiri nganana wonti.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Ja Nau botani ngadani kukati terkana mukaturarana wonti; ja tanali nina jiritjibana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Ngujangujara jinkinietjajai, jenia jnkangu jeribaka nganai ngaiana palinani?“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?”

39Ja Nau mukandru matja jiritjina, Nulu watara dikidikibana wonti ja ngapani jatana wonti: „Ngapuriau, dalpura nganau!“ Ja watara mudana wonti, ja dalpura pirna nganana wonti.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.

40Ja Nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Minandru jura jeruja japali nganai? Minandru jura wata morlalu ngundrai?““Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Ja tana japali pirna pantjina wonti ja ngankamalina wonti: „Worana Naupini nganai, ngangau nunkangu watara ja ngapa pankiai?“Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
