Mark 4 (GMVL) · Opened

1Qasse Yesusi hara wode abbaa achchan tamaarso oykkides. Izakko keehi daro derey shiiqida gishshas abbaa giddon diza wogolo dizaarin gelidi uttides; asaykka wuri abbaa achchan shiiqides.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.

2Izikka daro yo7ota leemison hizgi tamaarsides.And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3«Siyite! Issaadey zereth zeranaas kezides.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Izi zerishin issi issi zereththi oge bolla wodhdhides. Oge bolla wodhdhida zereththaa kafoti maxi mida.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Baggay mela biittan wodhdhides. He biittay mela gidida gishshas heerakka caarides.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Gido attiin arshey kezida mala shullidi xapho yeddontta gishshas melides.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Qasse issi zereththi agunththa giddon wodhdhides; agunththayka diccidi cuullida gishshas ayfibeenna.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Hara zereththi qasse lo7o orde biitta bolla wodhdhida gishshas caaridi diccides; ayfekka ayfides; Issoy heedzdzu tammu, issoy qasse usuppun tammu, issoy qasse xeetu ayfides.»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.”

9Yesusi qasseka, «Siyiza hayththi dizaadey siyo!» gides.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Yesusi barkka dishin tammanne nam7atinne kase izara diza asay izi yootida leemisoza gishshas iza zaari oychchida.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Izikka isttas, «Inttes Xoossa Kawoteththa xuura eroy gelides shin karen dizaytas gidikko yo7oy wuri leemisora yootettees.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,

12Hessika kase, ‹Istti be7idi be7idayssa akeekontta malanne simmontta mala, qasseka istta nagaray maarettontta malakko› » gides.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Qasseka Yesusi, «Hayssi leemisoy inttes gelibeennee? Histtiin hara leemiso intte wostti eranee?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Zerizaadey qaala zerees.The farmer sows the word.

15Issi issi asati oge bolla wodhdhida zereththaa misateettes; istti qaala siyiza wode Xala7ey yiidi heerakka istti siyida qaalaa istta wozinappe ekkichchees.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.

16Hessaththoka harati mela biitta bolla wodhdhida zereththaa misateettes. Istti qaala siyidi ufayssan ekkeettes.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Gido attiin istti xapho yeddontta gishshas guuththa wode gam7ishin qaalaa gaason metoy woykko goodetay asata bolla yiza wode heerakka dhuphetteettes.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.

18Harati qasse agunththa giddon wodhdhida zereththaa misateettes; istti qaalaa sis siyeettes.Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19Gido attiin ha biitta metoy, miishsha siiqoynne hara amoy istti siyida qaala cuullidi ayfe ayfontta mala diggees.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.

20Hankkoyti lo7o biittan zerettida zereththaa misateettes; heytikka qaalaa siyidi ekkizaadenne heedzdzu tammu ayfe, usuppun tammu ayfenne xeetu ayfe ayfizayta» gides.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.”

21Qasseka Yesusi, «Xomppe oyththidi geemason woykko arsa garsan woththi ereetii? Poo7ana mala qoncceson woththeeta gidennee?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?

22Hessa gishshas qotettidi qoncce kezonttay, poo7on kezontta geeman attanay baa.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Hessa gishshas siyiza hayththi dizaadey siyo!» gides.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Gujjidikka, «Intte siyizayssa wozinan woththite; intte makkiza miishshara inttes makettana; hessafekka daroy gujettana.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.

25Dizaades gujettana shin bayndaadefe izas dizaarakka ekketaychchana» gides.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Qasseka Yesusi, «Xoossa kawoteththiya zereth zeriza issi as misatawus.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Zeridaadey omars dhiskees. Wontishin dendees; gido attiin izi erontta dishin zerettida kaththay mokkidi diccees.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Gadeyakka koyro caarech, kaaleththada pudhe, qasseka pudheza bolla lo7o ayfe immawus.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Kaththay kaxxidaappe guye boney gakkiin keeththa aaway heerakka maxa oykkees» gides.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Yesusi, «Xoossa Kawoteth nu aazara ginisanee? Aazara leemisanee?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Biitta bolla ubbaafe laafa gidida sanafice ayfe misatawus.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Zerettada diccidaappe guye qasse atakilteta ubbaafe aadhdhiza gishshas kafoti yiidi he atakiltey haggata kuwa giddon shempeettes» gides.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.”

33Yesusikka asay ekkanaas dandayzayssa keena hayta misatiza hara daro leemisora isttas yootides.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Ay miish gidikkoka asaas leemisoy baynda yooti erenna. Izinne iza kaallizayti xalla diza wode gidikko wursi birshi yootees.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35He gallas gadey qammishin bana kaallizayta, «Ane gede he pinth pinnoos» gides.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Istti asaa heen aggaagidi izi utti diza wogolozara Yesusa ekki bida. Hara wogolotikka isttara issife deettes.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.

37He wode wolqqama dambalay abbaa bolla dendidi wogoloza haaththi kumana gakkanaas shocechchides.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Gido attiin Yesusi borkoth borkotidi wogolozas guye baggan ichchides. Isttika iza denththidi, «Astamaaree! Nuni dhayshin nena meettennee?» gida.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?”

39Izikka dendidi carkoza, «Co7u ga!» abbaaka, «Woppu ga!» gides; carkoyka co7u gides; mulekka co7u gides.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.

40Bana kaallizaytakka, «Hayssaththo aazas babbidetii? Hayssa gakkanaas inttes ammanoy baawee?» gides.“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Isttika keehi babbidi ba giddon issoy issaara, «Carkoynne abbay izas azazettizay hayssi oonee?» geetettida.Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
