Mark 4 (KDC2014)

1Yesu kasonga kufundiza kabili kumgwazo wa lamba da Galilaya. Lunhu lwa wanhu lumzunguluka mbaka kengila mwiingalawa na kukala mumo. Wanhu wose wakala kumgwazo wa lamba.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.

2Kawafundiza vinhu vingi kwa simo, kawalongela,And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3“Tegelezeni! Kukala na munhu kachola kuhanda mbeyu.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Viyakalile komiza zimbeyu kumgunda, ziyagwe zilagalila mnzila, ndege weza na kuzija.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Ziyagwe zilagalila mgamabwe hakalile na udongo mdodo. Zota himahima kwavija udongo ukala mdodo.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Zuwa vidilawile, diisoma mimeya na kwavija mizizi yake haicholile hasi ng'hani, inyala.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Mbeyu ziyagwe zilagalila mvisolo va miba, visolo avo vikula na kuizonga mimeya, nayo ilemelwa kulela.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Lakini mbeyu ziyagwe zilagalila hanhu heli na udongo unogile. Zota, zikula na kulela kubanza zija zihandigwe, ziyagwe zilela malongo madatu, ziyagwe zilela malongo sita, na ziyagwe zilela gana dimoja.”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.”

9Abaho Yesu kalonga, “Munhu yeli na magwiti, yahulike!”Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Yesu viyakalile yaiyeka, wanahina zake longo na wabili na wanhu wayagwe wamulongela yawafambulile simo azo.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Yesu kawalongela, “Mweye mugweleligwa kuzijuwa mbuli zifisigwe za Undewa wa Mulungu, lakini awo weli kunze wohulika mbuli zose kwa simo,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,

12muladi, ‘Walole, lakini sekewone, wategeleze lakini sekewajuwe. Kwavija wahavijuwa, wodaha kumbwelela Mulungu, na Mulungu kozigela kumgongo nzambi zao.’ ”so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Abaho Yesu kawauza, “Hamulujuwile vilihi lusimo luno? Vino lelo molujuwaze lusimo lolose luyagwe?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Muhandaji kohanda mbuli ya Mulungu.The farmer sows the word.

15Wanhu wayagwe waigala na izimbeyu zilagalile mnzila, wahahulika mbuli, Mwenembago kokwiza na kuisola mbuli ihandigwe mgati mmwao.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.

16Wanhu wayagwe waigala na mbeyu zilagalile mna gamabwe. Wahahulika mbuli, bahaja wozibokela kwa kudeng'helela,Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17lakini kwavija waduhu mizizi mgati mmwao, wokala kipindi kidodo. Wahagaya na kudununzika mbuli ya usenga awo, wobwela kukisogo.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.

18Wanhu wayagwe waigala na mbeyu zilagalile mna ivisolo va miba. Wohulika mbuli,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19lakini magayo ga ugima uno, kulonda utajili, na kulonda mbuli nyingi ziyagwe kuizonga mbuli ayo, nayo ilemelwa kulela.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.

20Lakini wanhu wayagwe waigala na mbeyu zilagalile muudongo unogile. Wouhulika usenga, woutogola na wolela matunda, wayagwe malongo madatu wayagwe malongo sita na wayagwe gana dimoja.”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.”

21Yesu kagendelela kulonga, “Vino munhu kodaha kubwinha taa mng'anda na kuigubika na kikalango hebu kuika muuvungu wa lusazi? Vino haika kukingolobweda?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?

22Kwavija kinhu chochose kifisigwe chokoneka na kinhu chochose kigubikigwe chogubuligwa.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Yeli na magwiti yahulike!”If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Vivija kawalongela, “Iteganyeni na gaja gomuhulika! Vija vimuwatagusa wayagwe na Mulungu kowatagusa vivo na mokongezeligwa ng'hani.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.

25Waja weli na vinhu wokongezelwa, lakini waja waliduhu vinhu wobokigwa hata vija vidodo viwelinavo.”For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Yesu kagendelela kulonga, “Undewa wa Mulungu uigala na kija kilawilile kwa munhu yamizile mbeyu mumgunda wake.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Ikilo kowasa, imisi kolamuka, mbeyu zota na kukula, lakini heyo hajuwa choni kigendelela.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Udongo wenyego wozitenda mbeyu zikule goya na kulela matunda, tanhu majani, abaho mada, na womambukiza kwa kuzamiza.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Uhemba wahakangala, munhu ayo kosola sengo na kosonga kusenga kwavija kipindi cha kusenga kivika.”And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Yesu kalonga kabili, “Vino Undewa wa Mulungu uigala na choni? Vino tuusimulile kwa lusimo gani?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Uigala na kija kilawilile kwa munhu yasolile mbeyu ya haladali mbeyu ndodo kubanza zose na kuihanda mumgunda.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Lakini yahahandigwa, yokula na yokuwa mbiki mkulu kubanza mibiki yose ihandigwe mumgunda. Yokwika matambi makulu ng'hani mbaka ndege wozenga mvulu zao mna gamatambi gake.”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.”

33Yesu kawapetela wanhu usenga wake kwa simo nyingi ziigalile na zino, kawalongela mbuli nyingi kamba viwadahile kuzijuwa.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Halongile nao kinhu chochose bila simo, lakini viwakalile waiyeka na wanahina zake, kawafambulila vinhu vose.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Ichungulo ya siku dijo, Yesu kawalongela wanahina zake, “Tuloke mwambu wa lamba.”When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Avo wawaleka wanhu wose, wanahina zake wengila mwiingalawa yaakalile Yesu na wachola nayo. Vivija kukala na ngalawa ziyagwe hanhu aho.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.

37Bahaja dilawilila nyukwanyukwa kulu da beho na ng'humbi mgamazi gaizola ija ingalawa mbaka ilonda kumema mazi.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Yesu kakala kukisogo mwiingalawa, kawasa na keka pala jake muna umto. Wanahina zake wamulamusa na kumulongela, “Mfundiza! Vino gweye hutonga, tweye tofa?”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?”

39Yesu kalamuka, kadikomhokela dija dibeho, “Nyamala!” Baho beho dinyamala tuluu, na kukala poozi.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.

40Abaho Yesu kawalongela wanahina zake, “Habali modumba? Mung'hali mduhu kutamanila?”“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Wanahina zake wadumba na waiuza wenyego, “Vino ino munhu gani? Mbaka beho na ng'humbi vose vomuhulika!”Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
