Mark 4 (HAT) · Opened

1Jezi te rekòmanse ap bay mesaj la bò lanmè Galile a ankò. Foul moun ki te sanble bò kote l' la te sitèlman anpil, li te blije moute chita nan yon kannòt ki te sou lanmè a. Tout foul moun yo menm te rete atè sou rivaj la, toupre dlo a.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.

2Li t'ap rakonte yo kèk parabòl pou l' te moutre yo anpil bagay. Li di yo konsa:And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3-Koute! Yon nonm soti pou li al simen grenn nan jaden li.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Pandan li t'ap simen grenn yo, kèk grenn tonbe bò chemen an. Zwazo vini, yo manje yo.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Yon pati tonbe nan mitan wòch, kote ki pa t' gen anpil tè. Grenn sa yo leve byen vit, paske tè a pa t' fon.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Men, lè solèy la chofe, li boule ti plant yo. Yo cheche paske rasen yo pa t' fon.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Yon lòt pati tonbe nan mitan pye pikan. Pikan yo grandi, yo toufe bon ti plant yo, kifè yo pa t' ka donnen.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Men, yon lòt pati ankò tonbe nan bon tè. Plant yo leve, yo grandi, yo donnen. Gen ladan yo ki bay trant grenn, lòt bay swasant, lòt ankò bay san (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.”

9Apre sa, Jezi di yo konsa: -Si nou gen zòrèy poun tande, tande.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Apre Jezi te fin kite gwo foul moun yo dèyè, moun ki te toupre l' yo ansanm ak douz disip li yo di li: -Esplike nou parabòl sa a non.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Li di yo: -Nou menm, nou resevwa sekrè Peyi kote Bondye Wa a; men moun ki deyò yo, yo tande tout bagay an parabòl.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,

12Konsa Yo mèt gade byen gade, men yo p'ap wè. Yo mèt tande byen tande, men yo p'ap konprann, pou yo pa tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pou Bondye padonnen peche yo.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Apre sa, Jezi di yo: -Nou pa konprann parabòl sa a? Ki jan n'a fè pou nou konprann tout lòt parabòl yo? Koute!Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Nonm k'ap simen an, se pawòl Bondye a l'ap simen.The farmer sows the word.

15Gen moun, yo sanble ak tè bò chemen kote pawòl la tonbe a. Kou yo tande l', Satan vini, li rache pawòl ki te simen nan kè yo a.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.

16Konsa tou, gen lòt ki resevwa grenn yo tankou tè ki gen anpil wòch la. Lè yo fèk tande pawòl la, yo resevwa l' ak kè kontan.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Men, yo pa kite l' pouse rasen nan kè yo. Yo pa kenbe l' pou lontan. Lè yo tonbe anba tèt chaje ak pèsekisyon akòz pawòl Bondye a, lamenm yo jwenn okazyon pou yo tonbe nan peche.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.

18Gen lòt moun ankò, yo resevwa grenn yo tankou nan mitan pye pikan: yo tande pawòl la,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19men, traka lavi, anvi gen lajan ak tout lòt anvi yo antre nan kè yo, toufe pawòl la. Kifè yo pa bay anyen menm.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.

20Pou fini, gen moun ki tankou bon tè a; yo tande pawòl la, yo resevwa l' epi yo donnen. Gen ladan yo ki bay trant pou yonn, lòt bay swasant pou yonn, lòt ankò bay san (100) pou yonn.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.”

21Apre sa, li di yo ankò: -Yo pa limen yon lanp pou yo mete l' anba yon mamit osinon anba yon kabann, pa vre? Eske se pa sou yon etajè pou yo mete li?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?

22Nanpwen anyen ki kache ki p'ap devwale yon jou. Konsa tou, nanpwen sekrè ki p'ap parèt aklè yon lè.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Si nou gen zòrèy poun tande, tande.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Li di yo toujou: -Fè atansyon sa n'ap tande la a. Mezi nou sèvi pou mezire lòt moun, se li menm Bondye va pran pou mezire nou tou, ak tout degi l' sou li.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.

25Paske, moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò. Men moun ki pa gen anyen an, y'a wete nan men l' ata ti sa l' te genyen an.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Li di yo ankò: -Men ki jan sa ye nan Peyi kote Bondye Wa a. Se tankou yon nonm ki simen grenn nan jaden li.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Apre sa, lannwit li dòmi, lajounen li leve fè zafè li. San l' pa konnen ki jan pa ki jan, grenn yo pouse, yo grandi.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Tou sa, paske se tè a menm ki fè plant yo grandi pou yo donnen. Pou kòmanse yo pouse fèy, answit yo pouse flèch, apre sa grenn plen flèch la.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Lè grenn yo mi se lè sa a nonm lan mete manchèt ladan l', paske sezon rekòt la rive.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Li di yo ankò: -Kisa m' ta di Peyi kote Bondye Wa a sanble ankò? Ki parabòl mwen ta ban nou pou fè nou konprann sa li ye?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Enben, li menm jan ak yon ti grenn moutad. Lè ou simen l', se yon ti grenn tou piti. Se li ki pi piti nan tout grenn ki sou latè.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Men, lè ou fin simen l', li pran grandi: li depase tout plant menm kalite avè l', li pouse gwo branch. Konsa, zwazo nan syèl la ka fè nich nan lonbraj yo.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.”

33Se avèk anpil parabòl konsa li t'ap ba yo mesaj li a. Li te fè l' yon jan pou yo tout te ka konprann li.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Li pa t' louvri bouch li pou l' pa t' rakonte yo yon parabòl. Men, lè l' te pou kont li avèk disip li yo, li te esplike yo tout bagay.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Menm jou sa a, lè solèy fin kouche, Jezi di disip li yo: -Ann janbe lòt bò lanmè a non.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Se konsa disip yo te kite foul moun yo dèyè, yo pati ansanm ak Jezi nan kannòt kote li te chita a. Te gen lòt kannòt tou ki te ale avèk yo.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.

37Yon gwo van vin leve, lanm yo kòmanse antre nan kannòt la. Yon sèl kou a, kannòt la t'ap fin plen dlo.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Jezi menm, lè sa a, te nan dèyè kannòt la. Li t'ap dòmi, tèt li apiye sou yon ti zòrye. Disip li yo souke l', yo di l' konsa: -Mèt, mèt, se mouri n'ap mouri wi! Sa pa di ou anyen?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?”

39Jezi leve, li pale byen fò ak van an, li di: -Pe la. Li di dlo a: -Rete trankil. Latou, van an tonbe epi vin gen yon gran kalmi.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.

40Apre sa, li di yo: -Men, poukisa nou pè konsa? Nou poko gen konfyans toujou?“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Men disip yo te pè anpil anpil, yonn t'ap di lòt konsa: -Ki moun li ye menm, pou jouk van ak dlo lanmè a obeyi li?Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
