Mark 4 (HAW1868)

1HOOMAKA iho la oia e ao hou ma kapa o ka moanawai; a no ka nui loa o ka poe i akoakoa mai io na la, ee aku la ia maluna e kekahi moku, noho iho la maluna o ka wai, a pau mai la ka ahakanaka mauka, ma kapa o ka moanawai.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.

2Ao nui mai la oia ia lakou ma na olelo nane, i mai la ia lakou ma kana ao ana,And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3E hoolohe mai; aia hoi, hele aku la kekahi kanaka lulu hua, e lulu.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4A i kana lulu aua, helelei iho la kekahi ma kapa alanui, a lele mai la na manu o ka lewa, a ai iho la ia mea.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Helelei iho la kekahi ma kahi paaa, kahi i nui ole ai kona lepo; kupu wawe ae la ia, no ka papau o ka lepo.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6A puka mai ka la, mae iho la ia, a maloo aku la, no ke aa ole.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7A helelei ae la kekahi mawaena o na kakalaioa; kupu mai la na kakalaioa, a kahihi iho la ia mea, nolaila, aole i hua mai ka hua.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Helelei iho la kekahi ma kahi lepo maikai, a pun mai la i ka hua, i kupu a mahuahua, a hua mai, pakanakolu, a pakanaono kekahi, a pahaneri kekahi.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.”

9I mai la oia ia lakou, O ka mea pepeiao lohe la, e hoolohe mai ia.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10A loaa ia ia ka mehameha, alaila, ninau aku la ia ia ka poe e ku pu ana me ia, a me ka poe umikumamalua, i ua olelonane la.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11I mai la oia ia lakou, Ua haawiia mai ia oukou e ike i na mea pohihihi o ke aupuni o ke Akua; aka, ua naneia'ku na mea a pau i ka poe mawaho;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,

12I nana lakou a milimili, aole nae e ike; i hoolohe hoi a lohe, aole nae e hoomaopopo, o hoohulina mai lakou, a e kalaia ko lakou hala.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Alaila, i mai la oia ia lakou, Aole anei oukou i ike i keia olelonane? Pehea la oukou e ike ai i na olelonane a pau?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14O ke kanaka lulu hua, ua lulu i ka olelo.The farmer sows the word.

15Eia ka poe ma kapa alanui, ma kahi i luluia i ka olelo, a lohe lakou, alaila hele koke mai o Satana a kaili aku i ka olelo i luluia iloko o ko lakou naau.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.

16Eia no hoi na mea i luluia ma kahi paaa; a lohe lakou i ka olelo, hopu koke lakou ia, me ka olioli.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Aka, aole o lakou mole iloko o lakou, nolaila, aole i mau, a hiki mai ka pilikia a me ka hoinoia no ka olelo, alaila, lilo koke lakou.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.

18Eia hoi na mea i luluia iwaena o na kakalaioa, o ka poe i lohe i ka olelo,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19A o ka manao nui i na mea o ke ao, a o ka hoopunipuni ana o ka waiwai, me ke kuko ana i na mea e, oia ka mea i iiia'i ka olelo, a lilo ia i mea hua ole.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.

20Eia no hoi na mea i luluia ma kahi lepo maikai; o na mea i hoolohe i ka olelo, a hoopaa iho, a hua mai i ka hua, pakanakolu kokahi, a pakanaono kekahi, a pahaneri kekahi.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.”

21I mai la oia ia lakou, Ua laweia mai anei he kukui e hahaoia'i malalo o ke poi, a malalo o kahi moe paha, aole anei no ke kania maluna o kahi e kau ai ke kukui?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?

22No ka mea, aohe mea huna e koe i ka hoike ole ia, aole hoi he mea i uhi malu ia e koe i ka hu ole mawaho.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Ina he pepeiao ko ke kauaka e lohe ai, e hoolohe mai ia.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24I mai la oia ia lakou, E noonoo oukou i ka oukou mea e lohe ai: no ka mea, ma ke ana a oukou e ana aku ai, malaila e anaia mai no hoi oukou pela; a e haawi nui ia ia oukou, i ka poe e hoolohe maiHe 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.

25O ka mea ua loaa, e haawiia 'ku nana; aka, o ka mea ua loaa ole, e kailiia'ku kana, mai ona aku la.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26I mai la ia, Meneia ke aupuni o ke Akua, me ke kana ana a ke kanaka i ka hua ma ka lepo;Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27A moe iho, a ala'e i ka po, a me ke ao, e kupu ae ana ua hua la a nui, aole nae ia i ike.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28No ka mea, hoohua wale mai no ka honua, mamua ka hoomaka, mahope iho ka huhui, alaila ka hua oo maloko o ka huhui.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29A i ka makaukau ana o ka hua, alaila, hookomo koke ae la ia i ka pahi, no ka mea, ua hiki mai ka wa e oki ai.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30I mai la oia, Me ke aha la kakou e hoohalike ai i ke aupuni o ke Akua? A ma ka nane hea kakou e hoakaka aku ai ia?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Ua like no ia me ka hua makeke, i ka wa i kanuia'i ma ka lepo, he hua liilii loa ia o na hua a pau i kanuia ma ka lepo.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Aka, i ka wa i kanuia'i, kupu no ia, a lilo i laalaau nui o na laalaau a pau, a opuu mai la na lala nui, a hiki no i na manu o ka lewa ke kau mai malalo o kona malu.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.”

33Hai mai la ia i ka olelo ia lakou ma ua olelonane e like me ia he nui loa, me lakou e hiki ai ke hoolohe aku.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Aole ia i olelo iki aku ia lakou ma ka olelonane ole; a ma kahi mehameha, hoakaka ae la ia i na mea a pau i kana poe haumana.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Ia la no, a ahiahi ae, i mai la ia ia lakou, E holo kakou i kela kapa.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36A haalele aku la lakou i ka ahakanaka, a lawe aku la ia ia e noho ana ma ka moku: he mau moku liilii no hoi kekahi me ia pu.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.

37Nou mai la ka makani ikaika, uhi mai la na ale iluna o ka moku, a piha iho la ia.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38E moe ana ia ma ka uluna, ma ka hope o ka moku; hoala ae la lakou ia ia, i aku la, E ke Kumu, he mea ole anei ia oe ke make makou?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?”

39Alaila ku ae la ia iluna, papa ae la i ka makani, a olelo ae la i ka moanawai, Hamau, e noho malie. Oki iho la ka makani, a pohu maikai iho la.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.

40I mai la oia ia lakou, No ke aha la oukou i makau ai? Pehea ko oukou manaoio ole ana?“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Weliweli loa ae la lakou, i ae la kekahi i kekahi, Heaha la ke ano o ia nei, i hoolohe pono ai ka makani a me ka moanawai ia ia?Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
