Mark 4 (LTH) · Opened

1Yecu dökï öcakö pwony ï dhö Nam më Galilaya. Lwak na pol rwök öcökërë bothe, cë ën öïdhö ï yeya ëka obedo ïë nakun jïï kïbëc odong ï dhö nam.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.

2Yecu opwonyogï kï köp na pol kï carolok nï:And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3“Winy unu! Apur mörö öcïdhö më cwöönö kodhi mërë.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Ï karë na ën tye ka cwöönö kodhi, kodhi mökö ökïr ï dye yoo, ëka wïny ödëdëpö ökö.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Kodhi nökënë ökïr kanya obedo kitekite na ngöm nönök ïë. Kodhi ni otuu pïöpïö pïën ngöm onwongo rëp.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Ëntö ï karë na ceng öryëny öwangögï rwök, oner gïnï ökö pïën oriigï ba ödönyö na thuth.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Kodhi nökënë opodho ï kin okudhi. Okudhi ödöngö ëka ödïögï cë ba önyakö nyige.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Kodhi nökënë opodho ï ngöm na bër ödöngö ëka nyige önyak, mökö pyer adek, mökö pyer abicël ëka mökö mia acël.”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.”

9Cë Yecu okobo nï, “Ngat na tye kï ithe më winyo, myero owiny.”Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Ï karë na Yecu onwongo tye kënë k'ëlübkörë apar arïö ëka jö nökënë, gïn openyo ën tyën carolok.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Ëka ën okobo nïgï nï, “Müng më ker k'Obanga ëmïöwu. Ëntö both jö nökënë an atwak ködgï kï carolok,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,

12ëk, “‘Ka gïn önënö, önën gïnï ëntö ba bino gïnï nïang. Ka gïn owinyo, owiny gïnï ëntö gïn ba bino nïang ïë. Pïën ka gïn ötïmö, gïn bino lökërë both Obanga, ëka ën bino tïmö nïgï kïca.’”so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Cë Yecu openyogï nï, “Un ba ïnïang ï tyën carolok ni? Un ibino nïang ï carolok nökënë kïbëc nïngö?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Apur cwö kodhi na ënë köp k'Obanga.The farmer sows the word.

15Kodhi n'opodho ï yoo ocung pï jö na winyo köp k'Obanga, cë cücüth Catan bino kwanyö köp na gïn owinyo ökö.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.

16Kodhi n'opodho kanya obedo kitekite, ocung pï jö na winyo köp k'Obanga ëka cücüth gamö gïnï kï yom cwiny.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Ëntö kit na ba ut gïnï k'orii n'ödönyö na thuth, ba bedo gïnï ape. Podho gïnï ökö cücüth ka tye gïnï kï pëkö onyo ka eketho ayela ï komgï pï yee köp k'Obanga.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.

18Kodhi nökënë n'opodho ï kin okudhi ocung pï jö na winyo köp k'Obanga,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19ëntö par më kwö më lobo ni, marö lönyö, ëka miti më jami kïbëc bino cë dïö köp k'Obanga ökö ëka ba nyak gïnï.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.

20Ëntö kodhi n'opodho ï ngöm na bër cung pï jö na winyo ëka gamö köp k'Obanga. Gïn nyakö nyig-gï pyer adek, mökö pyer abicël onyo mia acël.”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.”

21Yecu okobo both lwak nï, “Ngat mörö ute na cwïnyö tara cë ketho ï thë adïta onyo ï thë ëtana ëka ba ketho ï ka cibo tara?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?

22Pïën ba tye gin mörö n'ökanërë na ba ebino ngeeno, ëka müng mörö ope na ba ebino kelo kanyalër.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Ka ngat mörö tye kï ithe më winyo, myero ën owiny.”If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Yecu thon okobo nïgï nï, “Gwökërë unu kï kom gin nï winyo unu. Gin na un ipimo ködë, ënë thon ebino pimo niwu ködë, ëka dökï ebino mëdö 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.

25Jö na tye kï gin mörö ebino mëdö nïgï, ëka jö n'ope kï gin mörö ebino kwanyö naka thon gin mörö na tïdï na gïn tye ködë ökö.”For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Yecu ömëdërë më kobo nï, “Ker k'Obanga cal k'apur n'öcwö kodhi ï ngöm.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Kiceng ëka kiwor, na ën önïnö onyo neno, nyig kodhi tuu ëka döngö, ëntö ën ba nïang kit na nwongo ötïmërë ködë.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Ngöm mïö nyig kodhi tuu ëka nyakö nyige kënë, më acël pote cakö donyo, cë wie yübërë, ëka ajiki mërë nyige cëk.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Ï karë na nyige öcëk, apur cakö bino ëka kaö kï pala, pïën karë më kac nwongo örömö.”And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Yecu dökï openyo nï, “Ngö na onu ebino poro kï Ker k'Obanga onyo carolok mënë na onu myero etii ködë?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Cal kï nyig kodhi karadali na ënë tïdï rwök kï kin kodhi n'ëpïdhö ï ngöm.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Ëntö ka ëpïdhö, döngö na thwönë rwök na löö kodhi nökënë kïbëc n'ëpïdhö ï pwodho. Jangë döngö na boco, ëka wïny na ngwëcö kï malö twërö gërö udigï cë yweo ï tipo mërë.”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.”

33Yecu ötïtö köp mërë both lwak nakun tio kï carolok, okobo nïgï kite na gïn twërö nïang ködë.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Ën ba okobo gin mörö bothgï na ba otio kï carolok, ëntö ka ën ut kënë k'ëlübkörë, ën gönyö nïgï jami kïbëc.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Ï nïnö nön na pïny dong cido, Yecu okobo both ëlübkörë nï, “Eru engolu nam yo löka nam tung ca.”When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Cë gïn otero Yecu ï yeya ëka öcakö gïnï wëkö lwak ï ngeegï. Yeya nökënë thon onwongo tye kanya acël ködë.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.

37Ëka yamö na ger obino ï nam. Pii na tingere malö öcakö dönyö ï yeya, ëka yeya öcakö pong kï pii.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Ï caa nön, Yecu onwongo tye ka nïnö ï ngee yeya n'otheno wie k'athen wic. Ëlübkörë ocoo ën ëk öya malö, na redo gïnï nï, “Apwony, in ba ïparö nï wan ëcwök lüny ökö ï pii?”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?”

39Yecu öya malö ëka ocoko yamö cë okobo nï pii na tingere malö nï, “Lïng ökö! Cung moth!” Cücüth yamö ocung ökö, ëka jami kïbëc ölïng moth.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.

40Cë Yecu openyo ëlübkörë nï, “Pïngö un ilwor? Un ba itye kï yee?”“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Ëlübkör Yecu onwongo ödökö gïnï na lwor ökö. Cë öcakö penyere gïnï kën-gï nï, “Ëcwö ni ënë nga, na naka thon yamö ëka pii na tingere malö winyo?”Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
