Mark 4 (JID) · Opened

1Yesu ni mu mummlan a hla tre ma ni gbugbu ndi waba shuti ni Yun nei. A lude ri ni mi gyue ni mi-nei.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.

2A lla tre ma u-jaji gbugbu da ka yiyi ani.And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3Wo-me, idi uron a ban ibi hichu ni rjumaa“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4a chu bari ba kuhle ni kon u chichen ba tanriAnd as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5bari ba khule ni tu han iwa ama hei mi meme gbugbun a warju.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Irji rju hongan wa kue niwa in-jah ma na gburonkonna.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Bari ba kuhle ni zahchon, I Chon ba gburon ti rigra da k tiwu wa ti me me.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Bari kuma ku “lle ni “llar meme didima da gburon na ni sho bari, I wulon iknutra (30), bari I wulon ikpu tanne (60), bari I wulon kpu wulon (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.”

9Yesu tre indi wa a hei ton u wo kawoThen Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Wa Yesu a ye he ni kriji ma bi wa ba hei niki ni mimriko ma wulon don ha, ba miyen tu tree ka yiyi a.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11A biyi yi ba “llar you wawu multi Irji wa, a ririn, mibiwa ba he nira ba tree ni ka yiyin me.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,

12Ni duba ye ama da na toh na ni duba wo “llan da na toh “llan na I ba wo na kame ye Irji ni wuru “lle ni bwu.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13A miyen ba bina to tu itre u ka you na?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Bi ya di bi to wawu u?The farmer sows the word.

15Idi ichu a ni chu tre.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.

16Ni tu kon ba a bubu wa ba chutre iba wo meme brji a ye, wa vuba kpa tre wa ba chusa.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Bana he ni ja na ni mi bana. Ama ba vu sunron mu ni mi iton fie me, na joku ni ton uya.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.

18Bi wa ba kpa tre na kalle niOthers are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19tu gbi gbugbulu yo khlen, iko bari kpii bari naki, iri mba ba chu wa a khule ni chon.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.

20Bi wa ba kpatre rji da vusuron na ni ji ndi ye nitre rji baba yi ba ichu wa kulle ni meme didi wa a ni klo 30-30 60-60 100-100Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”

21A miyen ba, Indi ba zi fitila ni mi sisen ko ba zi ni zah tebru? Ba zi nitu tebur, di du kpan ni Indi bi koh.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?

22Ikperi na riri na, see ka he ni rira ni ndi ba ka to na hlar.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Indi wa ahei niton u wo ka wo.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24A hla bawa, srenton ni wo kpie wa bi wo. Kongo wa wu tsar niwu, ni ki ba tsar niwu.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.

25Indi wa a heiwu, ba ka fon surwu Indi wa ana hei niwuna, baka vukpa fie wa a hei niwua.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26A tree, mulki Irji a hei nawa indi ani ban bikpie hichu nimeme.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Indi ni kruna, na shime ni rji, biri nirju na gbrun, wana tohna.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Menme nina biri kima ani yarbe ku nira, ngwugwu ka fu wa ka gbrun nikle ma da ti wolo.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29I dan biri a weri u ba cham.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Ki ya tree mulki rji ahe naki kā ki tsar ba bawu?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Ga aheifieme na wolo mustard wa i dan u chu ani rju da gburon.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Har chinchen baka son ni wuma.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.”

33Naki tre mba ni kayiyi ni kon gbubu'u.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Ni kogie a tre ni ba wu ni ka yiyi duba tohtre a.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Ni yalu chachuki a tree diba zah gran hi komu.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36I ba lude niwume a ni mique na ka ndiba don.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.

37Se ihen lude ni gbegbelen na wuru man sur ni mi guea ta shu.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Wa si kurna ni kogon mi gue iba shemme u du lude na ya duna kur kpahlena ndi ba ba kuhlema.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?”

39Iwa lude da yarhan ni kikle gwugwu mba ima duba son nigbagbi shishiman ba chuThen 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.

40A miyen ba, age nuyi sisiri? Har zizan bina hei ni bangaiskiya na?“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Iba tie sisiri, adi a indi birimen nayi a tre ni gwugwu ba I ma u ba wo niwu.Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
