Mark 4 (GHN) · Opened

1Ego za podalai varivagigalai mule pa poanana pa ovuku Qalili i Jisu. Ko na minete tinoni lavata za qari varikamu lame tana, ko za lao tu zae ko za nyumu pa maka koaka titina pa kolo, goto ria na minete tinoni za qari turu pa poanana.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.

2Ko za kole varivagigalaidi aza za zoku vavakato vavapadapada. Ko pa nana varivagigalai aza ari za vavakato vei.And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3<<Mu vainongoro ko! Kolenana za maka tinoni umuma za votu keni ko za vavuvuzuria na kiko.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Ko tonai za kole vavuvuzuria aza na kiko, za kaki kiko za qari lotu lao pa lodaka zona, ko qari tatava kamu tu na manugu ko qari tobiki gani betoria na gedi.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Kaki kiko za qari lotu lao pa butubuturuna ketakoi zake mota na pezo, ko qarike oriavo tu na pidokodi ura zake zoku na pezo.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Ba totonai za zagere na tapo ko za alangaria nari za qari malei ukedia, ura zake gore vakori na bageredi.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Kaki kiko za qari lotu lao pa kota za kolea na gazoro varivarioka, ko tonai qari pidoko za na kiko ari, za na gazoro varivarioka za amu tariria ko qarike boka vua.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Goto kaki kiko za qari lotu lao pa pezo leleana, ko tonai qari pidoko beto qari toa zae qari vua vunguvungu. Ko kaki qari vua uengavulu, kaki vonomongavulu, beto kaki za maka gogoto tu,>> za gua i Jisu.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.”

9Beto ari za gudi vei i Jisu, <<Na tinoni za pore na talinga nongonongorona za mi vainongoro!>> za gua i Jisu.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Ego totonai za korapa suverenana makana i Jisu, za qari lame ria kaki tinoni qari tututia aza beto ko ari ka manogori sepele ko qari nanazani za na ginuana na vavakato vavapada ani.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Nari za oeria i Jisu ria, ari za gudi vei, <<Gamu za gamu tori taiani tu gamu za na gigalai golomona na veveina na binangara tana Tamaza, goto ria qari zou tana aza za doru gigalai za qari tekuria pa vavakato vavapada gu.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,

12Ko za gore votu za na ginuana na Kutikuti Tabuna: <Mari dogoro ko mari dogodogoro ba marike batia, mari nongoro ko mari nongonongoro ba marike vakaberia. Ura keta mari gabala mule lame ko mari taleozodi,> za gua,>> za gudi i Jisu ria.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Beto ari za gudi vei mule i Jisu ria, <<Ae za vei, gamuke vakaberia tu gamu za na vavakato vavapadapada ani? Ego ko zara za vei za pala munake boka tugu vakabereria gamu za doru vavakato vavapadapada.Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Na tinoni umuma za vavuvuzia za na paranga.The farmer sows the word.

15Ria kaki tinoni qari vei na kiko qari lotu lao pa lodaka zona, ketakoi za tavavuvuzu na paranga. Ko tonai qari nongoria za na paranga nari zake oriavo tugu lame teku paleni i Setani za na paranga za tavavuvuzu pa bulodi.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.

16Ria na kiko qari lotu lao pa pezo butubuturudi za ria na tinoni aza tugu qari nongoria na paranga nari qarike oriavo tu teku ngalingali qeraqerani,Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17beto za kepore na bageredi makadi ba qari toa vakakaza tu iapeki totozo. Ba tonai qari gozoro taleni tapata beto na varikomiti za na paranga, nari za qarike oriavo tugu lotudi.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.

18Ria kaki mule za ria qari tavavuvuzu pa varikorapaidi na gazoro varivarioka. Ari za ria qari nongoria na paranga,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19ba na takulangana na suvesuvere pa kasia guguzu, na nyoroguadi na izizongo pa pezo, beto na nyonyoroguadi mule kaki zakazava mule za qari lugeria na bulodi. Ko za amu ria na zakazava ari za na paranga ko zake boka vua.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.

20Goto ria qari tavavuvuzu pa pezo leana za ria na tinoni qari nongoro vakoititiria na paranga beto qari teku vakatapia ria za na paranga. Ko ria za qari vua vunguvungu: kaki uengavulu, kaki vonomongavulu, beto kaki za maka gogoto tu,>> za gua i Jisu.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.”

21Beto ari mule za gudi vei i Jisu ria, <<Ae za vei, na juke za tapogozo luge pa ruma ko mina tavakole pa kauru kadikita babi pa kauru sape putaputana? Dai! Pa nana nyumunyumuna tu za na nana laona mina nyumu aza.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?

22Doru zakazava qari kole vapae za marina bola votu, beto doru zakazava qari kole golomo za mari votu lame pa kabekaberena.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Na tinoni za pore talinga nongonongorona za mi vainongoro!>> za gua i Jisu.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Beto ari mule za gudi vei, <<Mu viloto valeania aza gamu nongoria. Aza tugu za na pada gamu variiani za aza tugu za na pada muna taiani gamu, beto mina jolani mutugu aza za muna tekua gamu.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.

25Ura aza za kolenana na nana za na motana mina taia vatamoni. Goto na tinoni za keporenana za aza tugu iapeki za izongia aza ba mina taragata vakenini tugu aza,>> za gua i Jisu.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Beto za paranga mule i Jisu, <<Na binangara tana Tamaza za vei vaputaputa maka tinoni za ipaporodi pa pezo za na kiko,Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27beto ko za puta mumagana na bongi beto za kamua na rane nari za iqolo. Qari pidoko votu beto ko qari toa zae na kiko, ba aza makana ba zake gilagilai za ae qari vei beto qari toa ria na kiko ari.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Na pezo gu makana za vatoaia za na umuma ko qari vua: momoe za votu lame na equruna, beto qari lavata zae na talingadi, beto qari matumatua za na talingadi na vuiti.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Ko tonai qari matua za na vuvua nari za garunuria aza ria na tinoni ababu ko qari lao ababu, ura za kamua gu za na totozo ababu,>> za gua i Jisu.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Beto za paranga mutu i Jisu, <<Na za tana vavapadani gita za na binangara tana Tamaza? Babi ae vavakato vavapada veveina za tana boka vavakato vakabereni gita aza?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Za vei vaputaputa gu maka kikona na masitadi aza. Za peki joladi doru kiko pa kasia guguzu za na kiko aza,It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32ba tonai za tauma pa pezo nari za toa zae ko za lavata joladi mutu za ria doru umuma. Ko za kakae lavalavata ko ria na manugu qari tatava kamu ko qari roiti dia alale na vorivori pa kaedi za ongongu,>> za gua i Jisu.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.”

33Zoku vavakato vavapada vevei ari za vavakatodi i Jisu tonai za kole ule vadi na paranga. Ko za vavakatodi za aza ria vei qari boka nongoro vakaberia ria.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Doru nana varivagigalai za vakoleria pa vavakato vavapada aza tonai za vavakato tadiria doru. Totonai tu za suvere tavitiria makana ria na nana sepele za ule vakabekabere vadi za doru maka za.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Ego totonai za gore na veluveluna na rane aza, i Jisu za parangaria ria nana sepele, ari za gudi vei, <<Aria ko ta karovo lao pa maka kalena na ovuku,>> za gua.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Ko qari loia za na minete tinoni ko qari zae pa maka koaka ria na sepele ko qari tokai i Jisu za tori zaenana tu pa koaka. Kaki koaka ba qari korapa tugu titidia ketakoi.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.

37Totonai qari toka karovo lao za maka gava lavata za rajaria beto za talokuloku tataria na ololobagea za na koaka ko za pugelia tu na kolo.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Ba i Jisu za tarubatuni maka tarubatu ko za korapa putagana pa tavatavana na koaka. Ko qari lao jou vaiqolia aza beto ari qari guni vei, <<Tinoni varivagigalai! Ta uke taqe gua gita! Ae za vei zake vatakulangigo ao za vei zara?>> qari guni.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?”

39Nari za tatakole tu i Jisu ko za tokea za na gava beto ari za guni vei na kolo, <<Bule! Mu nogoto!>> za gua. Tonai za nogoto za na gava beto za bule elava za na kolo.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.

40Beto ari za gudi vei ria nana sepele, <<Ae za vei ko gamu matagutu tu? Oqoro pore tugu na miu rangerange za gamu?>> za gudi.“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Qari matagutu vikevikeredi ria ko qari kole varivarinanaza makadi, ari qari gua vei, <<Ko i zei tu za na tinoni ani ko ria tu na gava beto na kolo ba qari nongoria tugu nana paranga?>> qari gua ria.Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
