Mark 4 (REG) · Opened

1Ambile okwiigisha lindi ku njenjekela ya kumwalo. Na liijo lyafu nilikofyanya limusingie, nengila mu bhwato bhuli munyanja, no kwinyanja. Liijo lyona lyaliga liliku njenjekela ya kumwalo mulufuka.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.

2Mbe nabheigisha masango mafu kwe bhijejekanyo, naika nabho kwa meigisho gae.And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3Mutegeleshe, omubhibhi ajie okubhibha.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Anu aliga nabhibha, jimbegu ejindi janguye ku njila, na jinyonyi nijija nijijilya.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Jimbegu ejindi janguye kwitale, anu galiga gatalio mayalu mafu. Okumala nijinywagala kwa insonga jaliga jitana mayalu go kwiya.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Mbe nawe lisubha lyejile lyauluka, janywagae, kulwo kubha jaliga jitana misi, nijuma.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Jimbegu ejindi jaguye agati-gati ya mawa. Amawa nigakula nigajiiganya, jitateyeko matwasyo gona gonaOther seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Jimbibho ejindi jaguye ku mayalu ge kisi na nijitwasha amatwasho kenu nijikula no kwiyongesha, nejindi nijitwasha kukila makumi gasatu, ne jindi makumi mukaga, nejindi egana”.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.”

9Na naika ati, wona wona unu Ali na matwi go kungwa, nongwe”.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Yesu anu aliga Ali enyelela, bhanu bhaliga ayei nage na bhalya ekumi na bhabhili bhamubhusishe okulubhana ne bhijejekanyo.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Naika ku bhene, “Kwimwe muyanilwe jibhisike jo bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga. Mbe nawe ku bhanu bhali anja bhuli chinu ni chijejekanyo,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,

12koleleki bhakalola, ni chimali abhalola, mbe nawe bhatakulola, kulwejo ugwa bhakongwa ni chimali abhongwa, mbe nawe bhatakusombokelwa, labha jitali kutyo bhakaindukile na Nyamuanga akabheswalilie”.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Naika nabho, “Angu mutakuchimenya echijejekanyo chinu? Omutula atiki okumenya echijejekanyo ebhindi?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Omubhibhi abhibhile omusango.The farmer sows the word.

15Abhandi ni bhalya bhanu bhalagae ku mbali ya injila, Anu omusango gwabhibhilwe. Mbe bhejile bhagungwa, Shetani naja no kugugega omusango gunu gwabhibhilwe mu moyo jebhwe.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.

16Na bhandi ni bhalya bhanu bhabhibhilwe kwi tale, bhanu, ungwa bhakagungwa omusango, kwo bhwangu nibhagulamila kwo bhukondeleywe.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Kulwo kubha bhatana misi jona jona mu myoyo jebhwe, nawe abhegumilisha kwa mwanya mufui. jikabhonekana jinyako no kunyasibwa ungwa bhikaja kulwa insonga yo musango, ao nao nibhekujula.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.

18Na bhandi ni bhalya bhanu bhabhibhilwe mu mawa. abhagungwa omusango,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19mbe nawe amaangaiko ge Chalo, no bhujigijigi bhwo ebhinu, bhyo bhunibhi no bhuligisi bhwe misango ejindi, nibhibhengila no kuguiganya omusango, no kusigwa okutwasha amatwasho.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.

20Okumala bhalio bhanu bhabhibhilwe ku mayalu ge kisi. Nibhongwa omusango no kugulamila no kutwasha amatwasho: abhandi makumi gasatu na bhandi makumi mukaga, na bhandi egana limwi”.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 nabhabhwila, “Angu ungwa ukaleta itala munyumba oita emwalo ye chitukulu, amwi mwifufu lwo bhulili? Oileta munju no kuita ingulu ye chigango.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?

22Kwokubha chitalio chona chona chinu chiselekele chinu chitalimenyekana abhwelu.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Akabha alio owa matwi go kungwa, mbe nongwe”.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Nabhabhwila, “Mubhe bhekomelesha mu chinu omungwa, kwo kubha indengo inu omulengelamo niyo one mulilengelwamo, na eyongesibhwa kwimwe.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.

25Ku nsonga ati unu alinacho, kalamila bhyafu, na ulya unu atanacho, ukusoka ku mwene bhiligengwa nolwo bhilya bhinu alinabhyo”.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Mbe naika, “Obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga obhususanyibhwa no munu unu kabhibha jinjuma ku mayalu ge kisi.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Ejile amama mugeta no kwimuka katondo, nasanga jaletele emitenga no kukula, nolwo kutyo atakumenya kutyo jabhonekene.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Echalo echisosha jinjuma echenela; okwamba amabhabhi, okumala echangala, okumala jinjuma jinu jikomee.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Mbe mu mwanya gunu injuma ikaya okumala nusila omwolo, ku nsonga ligesa lyakingile”.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Mbe naika, “chibhususanyishe Obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga na chinu ki, amwi chelesha chijejekanyoki echo kwelesha?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Nilwa injuma ya haradali, yejile yayambwa yaliga noto muno kukila jinjuma jone muchalo.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Nolwo, mu mwanya gwo kuyambwa, eikula nibha Nene kukila emikubhi jona eja mwisambu, na eikola amatabhi manene nolwo jinyonyi ja mulwile ejitula okutamo obhunsuli bhwajo mu mbeo yalyo”.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.”

33Mu bhijejekanyo bhyafu abeigisishe omusango, lwa kutyo bhatulaga okumenya,With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34na ataikaga nabho atali mu bhijejekanyo. Mbe nawe mu mwanya gunu aliga Ali enyele-la, abhelesishe bhuli chinu abheigisibhwa bhae.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Mu lunaku olwo, mu mwanya gwa kegolo gwejile gwakinga, nabhabhwila, “Chigende ku lubhala lwa kabhili”.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36kulwejo nibhalisiga liijo, nibhamugega Yesu, mu mwanya ogwo aliga engie mubhwato. Amato agandi galiga amwi nage.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.

37Mbe omuyaga mwafu ogwe chiule na amakonjo galiga nigengisha amaji mu bhwato no bhwato mbubha bhwejue.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Mbe nawe Yesu omwene aliga ali kuseji, amamile ali ku musagulo. Nibhamulafya, nibhaika, “Mwiigisha, awe utakuchikukwa eswe chikafwa?”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?”

39Nemuka, nagugonya omuyaga na naibhwila inyanja, “'Cholela, omulembe”. Omuyaga nigutemekela, na nilibha etole enene.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.

40Nabhabhusha ati, kulwaki omubhaya? Angu mutali no kwikilisha kutiki?“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Nibhengilwa no bhubha bhwafu mu myoyo jebhwe nibhaikana abhene kwa bhene, unu niga lindi, kunsoga nolwo omuyaga na inyaja ebhimubhaya?”.Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
