Mark 4 (GOFL) · Opened

1Yesuusi zaaridi Galila Abbaa matan tamaarsees. Daro asay iya matan yuushuwan shiiqin, abban de7iya wogoluwa giddo gelidi uttis, asa ubbay Abbaa matan de7ees.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.

2I enta darobaa leemison tamaarsis. Tamaarsishe haysada yaagis:And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3“Si7ite! Issi uray zerethi zeranaw keyis.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4I zerishin, issi issi zerethay oge gaxan wodhis; kafoti yidi midosona.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Issi issi zerethay garsan shaalloy de7iya biitta bolla wodhis. Daro biitti bayna gisho, he zerethay ellesidi dolis.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Shin awi keyida wode shullis. Loythidi xapho yeddiboonna gisho, ellesi melis.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Issi issi zerethay aguntha giddon wodhis. Dolidaysa agunthay diccidi cuullida gisho ayfe ayfonna attis.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Issi issi zerethay aradda biittan wodhidi dolis. Diccidi issoy hastama, issoy usupun tamma issoy xeeta ayfis” yaagis.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.”

9“Si7iya haythi de7iya oonika si7o” yaagis.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Yesuusi odidaysa si7ida issi issi asatinne tammanne nam7u tamaareti Yesuusi barka de7ishin, iyako shiiqidi he leemisuwa birshethaa oychidosona.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Yesuusi entako haysada yaagis: “Hintew Xoossaa kawotethaa xuuraa eroy imetis. Shin haratas kawotethaafe karen de7eysatas ubbabay leemison odetees.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,

12Gaasoyka, “ ‘Enti xeelloosona, shin demmokona. Si7oosona, shin akeekokona. Enti demmiyakonne akeekiyako, Xoossaako simmana ika enta maaranashin’ ” yaagis.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Yesuusi entako, “Ha leemisoy hintew gelennee? Yaatin, leemiso ubbaa hinte waati akeekanee?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Zereysi Xoossaa qaala zerees.The farmer sows the word.

15Qaalay zeretiya wode oge gaxan wodhidaysati qaala si7idaysata. Shin Xalahey ellesidi, yidi enta wozanan zeretida qaala maxi diggees.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.

16Hessadaka, garsan shaalloy de7iya biittan zeretidaysi qaala si7idi, ellesidi ufaysan ekeysa.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Shin iyaw mino xaphoy bayna gisho ha77issafe attishin, gam7okona. Guutha wodepe guye qaala gaason waayey woyko goodi gakiya wode ellesidi dhubetoosona.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.

18Aguntha giddon zeretidaysi qaala si7eyisata.Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19Shin ha sa7a de7uwas hirgoy, duretetha dosoynne haraba amotteysi iya wozanan gelidi qaala cuulliya gisho ayfe ayfonna attis.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.

20Shin aradda biittan zeretidaysati qaala si7idi ekeyisata. Enti issoy hastama, issoy usupun tamma issoy xeeta ayfis” yaagis.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.”

21Yesuusi gujidi, “Xompe ekidi, daachofe woyko algafe garsan wothiya asi de7ii? Dhoqa bessan wothenneyee?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?

22Hiza, qosetidabay ubbay qonce keyana; geemmidabay ubbay eretonna attenna.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Si7iya haythi de7iya oonika si7o” yaagis.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Qassi entako, “Hinte si7iyaba akeekidi si7ite! Xoossaa qaala hinte si7eysa mela I hintew akeeka immana. Ubbaka hintew darsidi immana.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.

25Issibay de7iya uraas guji imetana, baynaysafe hari attoshin, iyaw de7iya he guuthiyaka eketana” yaagis.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Yesuusi zaaridi, “Xoossaa kawotethay ba gaden zerethi zeriya asa mela.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27He uray qamma dhiskees; wonta dendees. I ba huuphen waaniyako eronna de7ishin he zerethay doleesinne diccees.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Biittay kathi barka immees. Koyro dolidi diccees, kaallidi ayfanaw gambuxees, wursethan kumetha ayfe ayfees.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Shin kathay gakiya wode uray ellesidi baacara geli aggees” yaagis.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Yesuusi, “Nuuni Xoossaa kawotethaa ay daanees gaanee? Woyko aybira leemisanee?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Xoossaa kawotethay ayfe guutha mithi daanees. He mithaa ayfiya zeriya wode sa7an de7iya mitha ayfe ubbaafe guuxees.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Zerin dolidi atakilte ubbaafe gitatees; daro daashshi daayees. Kafoti iya tashiya bolla keexidi uttana gakanaw daayees” yaagis.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.”

33Yesuusi haysa mela daro leemison asay akeekanaw danda7eysa mela qaala odis.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Asaas leemisoy bayna odenna. Shin Yesuusi ba tamaareta xalaalara de7iya wode, entaw ubbaba birshidi odis.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35He gallas sa7i omarsin, Yesuusi ba tamaaretako, “Abbaafe hefinthi pinnoos” yaagis.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Iya tamaareti daro asa yeggi aggidi, Yesuusi kase geli uttida wogoluwan gelidi Yesuusa bantara efidosona. Hara wogolotika yan de7oosona.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.

37Wolqaama gotey dendidi, hobbey wogoluwa shocin, kumana gakanaw wogoluwa giddo haathi gelis.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38He wode Yesuusi wogoluwan guye baggara borkotidi dhiskis. Iya tamaareti iya denthidi, “Astamaariyaw, nuuni dhayiya wode ne si77i gada xeellay?” yaagidosona.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?”

39Yaatin, I barkidi gotiya, “Si7i ga” gidi, abbaaka, “Wopu ga” gis. Goteyka si77i gin ubbabay wopu gis.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.

40Yesuusi ba tamaaretako, “Ayis haysada babetii? Hintew ammanoy waanidi dhayidee?” yaagis.“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Enti daro babidi banta giddon, “Haysi hari attoshin, goteynne abbay kiiteteysi oonee?” yaagidosona.Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
