Mark 4 (KBQ) · Opened

1Mago'ene Jisasi'a rantiru'mofo ankenare mani'neno naneke erigafa huno rempi huzami'ne. Ana nehige'za tusi'a vahe krerfamo'za regorave hazageno, Jisasi'a votifi marerino mani'nege'za, tusi'a vahe krerfamo'za tiru ankenarega mani'naze.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.

2Ana nehuno agra rama'a fronka ke zamasami'ne. Rempima huzamifina, anage hu'ne,And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3Kama antahiho! Hoza ne'mo avimaza ruraniku hozarega vu'ne.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Ana'ma huno ome runeranigeno, mago'a avimzamo'a kamofo ankinafi evuramigeno, namamo'za eme ne'naze.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Mago'a avimaza avimo'a havege huno rama'a mopa omanenefi evuramiteno ame huno hagene. Na'ankure havege huno osia mopa me'negeno'e.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Hagi zagemo'a hanatino teosaparene, na'ankure rafu'namo'a fempina uorami'negeno osapare'ne.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Mago'a avimaza avimo'a ave'ave trazampi evuramigeno, aveave trazamo'a hageno, rentrako higeno raga'a reonte'ne.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Hu'neanagi mago'a avimzamo'a tima'ane mopafi evuramiteno hageno raga'a rente'ne. Mago'amo'a 30'a rentegeno, mago'amo'a 60'a rentegeno, mago'amo'a 100'a rente'ne.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.”

9Ana nehuno anage hu'ne, Izano agesa me'nenigeno nentahisimofona, atregeno ama kea antahise hino.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Hagi anama huteno Jisasi'ma Agrake'ma umani'nege'za, mago'a manigagi'naza vahe'mo'zane, 12fu'a amage'ma nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za, ana fronka keramimofo agafa'a antahise hunaku antahige'naze.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Jisasi'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Anumzamofo kumamofo oku'a antahintahia tamagrira ko tamine. Hianagi megi'ama mani'naza vahe'mo'za fronka kege nentahize.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,

12Ana higu Avontafepina anage hu'ne, kegahazanagi keama osugahaze. Antahigahazanagi antahi amara osugahaze. Zamagra aru zmagu'a rukrahe hanageno Anumzamo kumizimi eri atrezankure anara hugahie. (Ais 6:9-10)so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Anante Jisasi'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Ama fronka kemofo agafa'a antahi ama'ma osanutma, inankna hutma mika fronka kemofo agafa'a antahi amara hugahaze?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Avimaza rurani'nea ne'mo'a, Anumzamofo ke ome krine.The farmer sows the word.

15Mago'a avimazama kamofo ankinarega evurami'neana, mago'a vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kea nentahizageno, Sata'a ame huno zamagu'afima krinea kea eritrene.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.

16Havege mopafima rurani'neana, Anumzamofo kema nentahi'za, muse hu'za ame hu'za eneri'ze.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Hianagi zamagu'afina rafuna ore'neza oti hanave oti'nazankiza, anante'ma Anumzamofo kegu hu'za hazenke zano, zamazeri haviza huzama fore hige'za, ame hu'za atre'za nevaze.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.

18Mago'amo'za ave'ave trazampi avimaza ruranineankna hu'naze. Anamo'za Anumzamofo kea antahinazanagi,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19mopafi zankuke zamagesa nentahi'za, zago afu fenoma eri atruma huzamo rezmatga nehuno, mago'azama zamesinte'zamo zamagu'afina efreno Anumzamofo nanekea rentrako higeno ne'za raga'a renonte.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.

20Hianagi tima'ane mopafi rurani'nea avimazana, zamagra Anumzamofo kea antahi ankere'za, ana kea e'neri'za nena raga'a renentaze. Mago'mo'a 30'a rentegeno, mago'mo'a 60'a rentegeno, mago'mo'a 100'a renente.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.”

21Jisasi'a amanage huno mago'ane zamasmi'ne, Rampe tavi'ma rekruma hazana, sipagampi ome nentafi, kavo agu'afinka ome nentazo? A'o anara nosaze. Rekru hutma tavima rekru hunte azotare ome nentaze.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?

22Na'ankure miko'zama fra'ma ki'nesiazamo'a, eama nehanigeno, oku'a me'nesiazamo'a, masare eama hugahie.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Izano agesa me'nenigeno nentahisimofona, atregeno ama kea antahise hino.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Mago'ane anage huno zamasmi'ne, Kema nentahizana antahi so'e hiho. Tamagrama amisaza avamente, ana avamente tamagrira neramamino, mago'ane agofetu huno tamamigahie.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.

25Na'ankure iza'o eri'nenimofona mago'ene agofetu huno amigahie. Hagi iza'o e'orinesimofona, osiama eri'nenia zana eritre vagaregahie.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Hagi Jisasi'a mago'ane anage hu'ne, Anumzamofo kumamo'a, mago vahe'mo avimza avi mopafi ruranino kriankna hu'ne.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Kriteno umasenegeno feru ene kenage'enena hageno, ana avimza avimo'a ru hanana huno hagegeno, anama hageana nankna huno hage'neo agra ontahine.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Mopamo'a agra'a azerinena higeno ne'zama'a rente'ne, esera asina reno rampa'a fore huteno, anante amosare aheno, ramparera ne'zana rente avinete.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Anantera raga'a renteno nena hutegeno, agena kazaki kazinteti eme taga hu'ne. Na'ankure hozama hamarekna egeno'e.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Hagi Jisasi'a mago'ane anage huno zamantahige'ne, Inankna ke hunteta Anumzamofo kumakura hugahune. Inankna fronka ke hunteta eriama hugahune?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Masteti raga'agna hunege'za mopafi negrize, ama mopafima me'nea avimzana agatereno onensatfa hu'ne.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Hagi kritageno'a hageno nena huno, maka hozafima me'nea ne'zana ra huno agetenereno, rama'a azankuna'a hageno vuno eno higeno, maka afi' namamo'za ana zafamofo tonapi nona eme kigahaze.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.”

33Ana nehuno rama'a fronka kefinti zamagrama antahi ama' hanaza avamente zamasami'ne.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Agra mago'a kema hunakura fronka kefintike zamasmi'ne. Ana hu'neanagi amage'ma nentaza disaipol nagamo'zama zamagrake'ma mani'nageno, eriama huno maka'zana zamasami'ne.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Hagi ananzupa kinagasegeno Jisasi'a amage nentaza disaipol naga'agura anage hu'ne, Erinketa kantu kaziga tinkenare vamneno huno hige'za,When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36vahe krerfa zamatrete'za Jisasi'ma mani'nea votifi mareri'za vazageno, mago'a ventea zamagrane vu'naze.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.

37Nevazageno tusi'a ununko atuno, tina erikranto kranto nehuno, ana votifi timo'a marevite'za higeno, timpi votimo'a tami'za hu'ne.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Hagi Jisasi'a votimofona arigarega fita runo mase'negeza, azeri oti'za anage Agrikura hu'naze. Rempi hurami ne'moka, timo'ma tazeri nakri'za nehiana nonkano?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?”

39Anante otino zaho'mofona kesuno, Tami avazago huno timofona higeno, akoheno urami avazagene.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.

40Ana higeno Jisasi'a anage huno zmantahige'ne, Nahigetma amanahu huta koro nehaze? Tamentintia nosazo?“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Ana nehige'za zamagra tusi'a zamagogo fege'za, inankna ne'mo kea nehigeno zahomo'ene timokea ke'a antahinezmi'e hu'za hu'naze.Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
