Mark 4 (MSY2020)

1Dughiar igharazir mam Iesus ua dɨpar mɨriamɨn ikiava, gumazamizir mabar sure gami. Me an akaba baraghasa anekuvagha guizbangɨra bar avɨraseme. Ezɨ a botɨn mamɨn bɨragha dɨpam gisɨn aperaghav iti. Gumazamizir kaba an boroghɨn dadarimɨn apiaghav iti.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.

2An akar isɨn zuir avɨribar men sure gamuava, kamaghɨn me mɨgei,And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3“Ia oragh. Gumazir mam raizɨn mɨn garir daghem wit, ana da inigha ghua azenimɨn da akuragharui.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4An ada akurima witɨn ovɨzir maba tuavimɨn irezɨma, kuaraziba iza da ame.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Ezɨ maba dagɨabagh isɨn itir nguazir evarim gire. Nguazir kam mɨtemezir puvatɨ, ezɨ witɨn ovɨziba zuamɨra afuangi.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Ezɨ dar biba bar nguazimɨn aven iraghuezir puvatɨzɨ, aruem anaga dagh isirazɨ, da isia mɨsɨngi.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Ezɨ witɨn ovɨzir maba benir dɨkoniba itir nguazim giregha, benibar tongɨn afuangizɨ, benir dɨkoniba aghuava da ikiagharɨki. Ezɨ dar ovɨziba mɨsevezir puvatɨ.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Ezɨ witɨn ovɨzir maba nguazir aghuim giregha aghuava dagheba mɨsefi. Egha maba 30plan ovɨziba mɨsevima maba 60plan ovɨziba mɨsefe. Ezɨ maba 100plan ovɨziba mɨsefe.”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.”

9Iesus mɨgɨa ghua kamaghɨn me mɨgei, “Tina kuarimning iti, an oragh.”Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Ezɨ gumazamizir avɨriba bar ghuezɨ, Iesus uabɨra itima, an 12plan gumaziba ko an boroghɨn itir gumazamiziba, me an akar isɨn zuimɨn mɨngarim bagha an azara.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Me an azarazɨma a kamaghɨn me mɨgei, “God fofozim ia ganɨngizɨma, ia God Bizibagh Ativamin Dughiamɨn akar mogomebagh fo. Egha kɨ azenan itir gumazamiziba pura akar isɨn zuibar me mɨgei.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,

12Kamaghɨn amizɨma: “ ‘Me zurara ganɨva, egh deragh bizitamɨn ganighan kogham. Me uaghan zurara oraghɨva, egh me deragh bizitamɨn mɨngarim gɨfoghan kogham. Me amuava akar mɨngarim gɨfogha, uan navibagh irazɨ, God men arazir kuraba gɨn amadaghai.’ ”so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13An akar kam ua kamaghɨn me mɨgei, “Ia witɨn akar isɨn zuir kamɨn mɨngarim gɨfoz, o puvatɨ? Ia manmaghɨn akar isɨn zuir igharazir tabagh fogham?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Akar isɨn zuimɨn aven itir gumazir kam, a mati gumazir Godɨn akam akuragharuim.The farmer sows the word.

15Gumazamizir maba tuavim girezir witɨn ovɨzibar mɨn ami. Me Godɨn akaba baraghizɨ, Satan zuamɨra iza me oraghizir Godɨn akaba, me dama ada ini.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.

16Gumazamizir maba dagɨaba itir nguazim girezir witɨn ovɨzibar mɨn ami. Me Godɨn akaba baregha da bagha bar akonge.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Egha men biba iraghuezir puvatɨgha, uaghan dughiar ruarimɨn ikezir puvatɨ. Me itima osɨmtɨziba ko Godɨn gɨn zuir gumazamizibagh asɨghasɨzir araziba izima, me pura God ataki.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.

18Gumazamizir maba benir dɨkoniba itir nguazim girezir witɨn ovɨzibar mɨn ami. Me Godɨn akaba baraki.Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19Me da baregha uaghan nguazir kamɨn biziba bagha nɨghnɨgha, dagɨar avɨriba iniasa ifavarir nɨghnɨzibagh amua, nguazir kamɨn bizir avɨribar garava da bagha agoi. Bizir kabar nɨghnɨziba izava Godɨn akaba ikiagharɨghizɨ da mɨsevir puvatɨ.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.

20Ezɨ gumazamizir maba nguazir aghuim girezir witɨn ovɨzibar mɨn ami. Me Godɨn akaba baregha dar suiragha dar gɨn zui. Gumazamizir kaba mati witɨn ovɨziba mɨsɨva, maba 30plan ovɨziba mɨsevima, maba 60plan ovɨziba mɨsevima maba 100plan ovɨziba mɨsefe.”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.”

21Egha Iesus kamaghɨn me mɨgei, “Ian tina lam gaborogha a inigha itarir ekiamɨn anevara? O an a inigha dakozimɨn apengan anetɨ? Puvatɨ! Ia lam daborogh a inigh azenan an danganimram aneguragh.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?

22Kamaghɨra mogomer biziba da gɨn azenan otivigham. Eghtɨ bizir amigha aveziba da uaghan gɨn azenan otivigham.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Tina kuarimning iti, an oragh.”If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Egha a ua kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Ia deraghvɨra akar kam baragh. Gumazitam o amizitam Godɨn akabagh foghtɨ, God uan akabar fofozir igharaziba a danɨngam, eghtɨ a Godɨn akar avɨribagh fogham. Eghtɨ Godɨn akabagh foghan aghuazir gumazim o amizim, an fofozir muziarim God a dam a inigham.”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.

26Egha Iesus mɨgɨa ghua kamaghɨn me mɨgei, “God Bizibagh Ativamin Dughiamɨn arazim a kamakɨn. Gumazir mam dagher ovɨziba inigha nguazimɨn da akuri.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Gumazir kam da kunigha, dɨmagaribar akuava, aruebar dɨkavigha arui. An aruima dagher ovɨzir kaba da afuegha aghui. Dagher ovɨzir kaba manmaghɨn afuegha aghui? Gumazir kam fozir puvatɨ.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Ezɨ nguazimra dagher ovɨzir kabagh amizɨma da aghua mɨsefe. Da faragha afuegha aghua ghua aghariba otivigha, ada ghua akɨmariba otivigha mɨsefe.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Da mɨsevegha dagheba itima, gumazir kam sabam inigha dar akori. A fo, dagheba iti, ezɨ da akoramin dughiam oto.”And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Egha a ua kamaghɨn mɨgei, “E manmaghɨn God Bizibagh Ativamin Dughiamɨn arazim mɨkɨmam? O, e akar isɨn zuir manamɨn an mɨngarimɨn gun mɨkɨmam?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31A mastetɨn ovɨzimɨn mɨn gari. Mastetɨn zuravarir ovɨziba bar sufi. Temer igharazibar ovɨziba bar a gafiragha ekefe.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Gumazir mam anekunizɨma a gɨn aghua bar ekevegha azenimɨn itir zuravariba bar dagh afiragha bar ekefe. An ekevegha an aguar ekiaba uari tuirazɨma kuaraziba izava an aguabar dughuazimɨn aven ikia mɨkonibar ingari.”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.”

33Egha Iesus men nɨghnɨziba tuzɨnaghɨra, an akar isɨn zuir avɨribar Godɨn akabar me mɨgei.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34An akabar gumazamizibav gɨava zurara akar isɨn zuibar me mɨgei. Egha a uan suren gumaziba ko me uarira ikiava a bizibar mɨngariba abɨgha me mɨgei.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Aruer kamɨn amɨnim pɨrasava amima Iesus kamaghɨn uan suren gumazibav gɨa ghaze, “E dɨpar kam abigh an vongɨn mangam.”When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36A kamaghɨn me mɨgeima gumazamiziba dadarimɨn ikiavɨra iti, ezɨ me Iesus aperaghav itir botɨn ghuavanabogha pul gamua vongɨn zui. Botɨn igharazir maba uaghan me ko vongɨn zui.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.

37Iesus uan suren gumaziba ko zuima, Maia! Amɨnir ekiam dɨkafi. Ezɨ dɨpavsɨziba izava bot gafirazɨ dɨpam botɨn aven ghuaghira, bot gizɨvazɨ, an atam dɨpamɨn aven magɨrasava ami.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Bot magɨrasava amima, Iesus botɨn kamɨn gɨrakɨrangɨn dapanir aghoghonir mam uan dapanimɨn aghorogha akui. Ezɨ an suren gumaziba a gaghuragha kamaghɨn a mɨgei, “Tisa, e gɨfa! Nɨ e bagha nɨghnɨsi, o puvatɨ?”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?”

39Ezɨ Iesus dɨkavigha akar gavgavim amɨnim ganɨga, egha kamaghɨn ongarim mɨgei, “Gua amɨragh, nɨmɨra ikɨ!” A mɨgeima, amɨnim amɨrazɨ, dɨpam pura nɨmɨra irɨghav iti.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.

40Ezɨ Iesus kamaghɨn uan suren gumazibav gei, “Ia tizim bagha puv atiati? Ia nɨghnɨzir gavgavim oteveghavɨra iti?”“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Ezɨ me bar atiatigha kamaghɨn uarira uariv gei, “Kar gumazir manmaghɨn amizim? A mɨgeima, amɨnim ko dɨpavsɨzim an akam barasi!”Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
