Mark 4 (MFXL) · Opened

1Yesuusa maakka Galila Abba kale taamarsso aykkeeza. Aqopp aadheez gaame asitay E lanqqayir shiiqin, abbayil yez wogolay gancce gelii betteeza, asay ubbitay Abba lanqqe yeza.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.

2E unttan gaame baz aazisor taamarsseeza. Tamaarssittar yhay garkk yeegeeza:And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3«Si7oytta! Pettii athay zerth zerodayis kezeeza.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4E zerodar, pettii pettii zerthay oge achcha wodhdheeza; kafitay yi7ii meeza.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Pettii pettii zerthay sisinqqo aadda yez biittal afa wodhdheeza. Afar biitta baazay gishos ye zerithay ellisii doleeza.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Zin awa kezeez wode shulleeza. Lo7ithii xapho dakkekka gishos ellisii meleeza.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Pettii pettii zerithitay angguth gancce wodhdheeza. Doleezanno angguthii diccii cuulleez gishos aafe aafaam ixxeeza.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Pettii pettii zerithitay aradda biittal wodhdhii doleeza. Diccii pettay hasttam, pettay usuppuntam pettay xeet aafeeza» yeegeeza.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.”

9«Si7iz hayer yez oonkka si7oo» yeegeeza.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Yesuusa kaler yez asitaynnee taphpho nam77ii tamaaritay Yesuusa fa aadda yezin, eziko shiiqii ya aazisayis bili7itha oyceeza.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Yesuusa unttiko yhay garkk yeegeeza: «Yinttis Xooss kaatetithii xuura erettithii ingintteeza. Zin yhankkitayis kaatetithapp bale yezitayis ubba baz aazisor odinttiza.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,

12Yeykka, « ‹U bbi7iza, zin denggooya. Si7iza, zin akaakooya. U denggizakonnee akaakizako, Xoossiko maaqqoda ezkka unttan maarodazinii› » yeegeeza.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Yesuusa unttiko, «Yha aazisay yinttiskka geloosa? Yeezin, yhankko aazisita ubba yi wayizii akaakodee?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Zerizay Xooss qaala zeriza.The farmer sows the word.

15Qaalay zerinttodar oge kantta wodhdheezitay qaala si7eezita. Zin Xalahe izir yi7ii, u wozinayid zerintteez qaala maxii ekkeeza.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.

16Yey garkk, sisinqqo yez biittayil zerintteezay qaala si7ii, ellisii ufayttii ekkizita.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Zin unttisi xapho baazay gishos cere yhattesapp attin gam7ooya. Xiqqa wodepp guye qaala gisho meto woy bayi7ithii helliko ellisii dhubinttiza.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.

18Angguth gancce zerintteezay qaala si7izita.Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19Zin yha sa7a yessis hirga, duretith qadhennee hara baz amotithii e wozinayid gelii qaala cuulliza gishos aafe aafekkazar attiza.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.

20Zin aradda biittal zerintteezitay qaala si7ii ekkizita. Unttikka pettay hasttam, pettay usuppuntam pettay xeet aafiza» yeegeeza.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.”

21Yesuusa gujjii, «Xomppe ayithii, ota gancce woy arssa oommo gaddiz asii yenee? Dhoqqa aqo gaddoosanee?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?

22Yikkee, qosintteez baz ubbitay kezekkazar; zurintteez baz ubbay pidhdhe benttekkazar attaamii.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Si7iz haye yez oonkka si7o» yeegeeza.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Ma unttiko, «yinttii si7iz baz akaakii si7oytta! Xooss qaala yi si7izanigarkk e yinttis akaaka ingoda. Yi makkiz bazar yinttis makkoda. Ezayppekka yinttis gaanthii ingoda.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.

25Pettii baz yeza athayis gujjinttii inginttoda, baazaypp hara attozin, yezan izakka eepp ekkinttoda» yeegeeza.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Yesuusa mahii, «Xoossa kaatetithay fa gade zerith zeriz as garkke.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Ye athay qamma genttiza; guura gooddii dendiza. E wayizako erekkazin ya zerithay dolii dicciza.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Biittata fa aaddas katha ingiza. Tiina caare, yeypp aafodayis gambbuxiza, wurssithala kunth aafe aafiza.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Zin kathay maxos helliko athay ellisii maxo aykkiza» yeegeeza.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Yesuusa, «Nuunii Xooss kaatetithii ab aaziza gode? Woy abar aazisode?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Xooss kaatetithay sannaficce aafe aaziza. Ye mithatii aafa zerodar sa7a yez mithii aafe ubbaypp xiqqizaraIt is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Zeriko dolii diccii mith ubbaypp aadhiz; gita shaqo kessiza. Salo kafitay i shaqayil afa keexxii bettod gatho daazhiza» yeegeeza.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.”

33Yesuusa yhay garkk unddenna aaziso asitay akaakodayis danda7izay garkk qaala odeeza.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Asayis aaziso baazin odooya. Zin Yesuusa fa tamaaritayir aadda yeza wode unttisi bili7ii odeeza.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Ye gallasi sa7ay omathin, Yesuusa fa tamaaritayiko, «Abbapp seko pino wolla piinggoda» yeegeeza.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36E tamaaritay woyita olii ashshii, Yesuusa tiina gelii betteez wogolitte gelii Yesuusana paar kanggeeza. Hara wogolitay ezayid yeza.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.

37Wolqqama gotekka dendii, wogolay gancce haathii kumod gatho zulay shoceeza.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Ye wode Yesuusa wogolayis guye baggar borkothii gentteeza. E tamaaritay eza denthii, «Asitamaarayyo, nuunii dhabodar ne si77e gi bi7inee?» yeegeeza.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?”

39E barkkii gotana, «Si77e goba» yeegii, abbanakka, «Hayizoba» geeza. Gotaykka si77e gin ubba baz cicirkk geeza.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.

40Yesuusa fa tamaaritayiko, «Yhay garkk yinttan yashshoday abba? Yinttis ammano abis dhabeenee?» yeegeeza.“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Unttii iita yashsha yashittii woli gancce, «Yhay hara attozin, gotenne abba azazinttizay oonoo?» yeegeeza.Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
