Mark 4 (ROW) · Opened

1Lao esa, Yesus se reu seluꞌ sia dano Galilea. Atahori naeꞌ rema heo rala E. Basa ma Ana hene neu endoꞌ nisiꞌ ofaꞌ sa ata mana nafuꞌ sia naa, de nanori. Basa atahori mana sia madꞌaꞌ ata ra, rena E.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.

2Ana nanori naeꞌ neu se nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ nae,And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3“Rena matalolole! Atahori sa neu nggari fini sia osi na.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Fini naa ra, ruma tudꞌa sia dala ata. De mbuiꞌ ra rema bito hendi basa fini ra.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Fini ruma tudꞌa sia rae fatu-fatuꞌ. Ara mori halalai, te huu rae a niꞌis,Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6relo a botiꞌ boe, numbuꞌ naa ra male meto hendi se. Huu oka nara nda masoꞌ losa rala sa.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Fini ruma tudꞌa sia unu hau anaꞌ. Boe ma unu hau anaꞌ a hapi nisa numbuꞌ naa ra, de nda bisa mori sa.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Fini ruma tudꞌa sia rae isiꞌ a. De ranumbu, raꞌamoko, rabuna, no rabꞌoa. Ruma rabꞌoa telu nulu, ruma nee nulu, ma ruma losa natun esa.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.”

9Se mandikiꞌ, rena matalolole!’Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Leleꞌ Yesus mesaꞌ ne, mana tungga kasanahulu ruaꞌ ra, ro atahori laen baꞌubꞌe mana rena basa Eni nenori na, ara rema randaa ro E. Ara roꞌe Eni nafadꞌe nekendandaaꞌ naa sosoa na. Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, ‘Huu hei mae mihine tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Lamatualain parenda na, de Au ufadꞌe memaꞌ nekendandaaꞌ naa sosoa na. Te mete ma atahori laen naa, Au unori noꞌ a nekendandaaꞌ.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Te mia dalahulu na Lamatualain mana dui-bꞌengga nara suraꞌ hela atahori naa ra hadꞌaꞌ nara rae, ‘Sira rita ena, te nda nau rahine sa. Sira rena ena, te nda nau bubꞌuluꞌ sa. Hela fo afiꞌ ramahere Lamatualain, fo Lamatualain afiꞌ parlu fee ambon neu sala nara.”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,

12Basa naa boe, Yesus nafadꞌe se nekendandaaꞌ naa sosoa na nae, “Wei! Mete ma hei nda feꞌe mihine nekendandaaꞌ ia sosoa na sa, taꞌo bee fo hei bisa mihine nekendandaaꞌ laen sosoa na?so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13De eni sosoa na, taꞌo ia: Atahori mana nggari fini naa, eni onaꞌ a atahori mana dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain Hara-lii na.Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

15Fini mana tudꞌa sia dalaꞌ ata losa mbuiꞌ ra bito hendi, onaꞌ atahori mana rena Lamatualain hara-lii na. Te nda doo saꞌ ma, malanga nitu ra nema de haꞌi nendi hara-lii naa mia atahori naa rala na.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.

16Fini mana tudꞌa sia rae fafatuꞌ naa, onaꞌ atahori mana rena ma simbo nala hara-lii naa no rala nemehoꞌot.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Te hara-lii naa nda naꞌoka sa. Naa de ana nda nenembedꞌa dooꞌ sia atahori rala na sa. Mete ma atahori laen naꞌasususaꞌ e, ana mboꞌi hendi e neuꞌ ena.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.

18Fini mana tudꞌa sia unu hau anaꞌ a, onaꞌ atahori mana rena nala hara-lii naa.Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19Te ana akaꞌ tasibꞌu no tataos mataꞌ-mataꞌ, fo namasuꞌi. Tataos naa ra seti hendi hara-lii mia rala na, de nda nendi papakeꞌ sa.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.

20Fini mana tudꞌa sia rae isiꞌ a, onaꞌ a atahori mana rena no simbo nala hara-lii naa, ma tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii na. Ana tao saa-saa akaꞌ maloleꞌ, onaꞌ a fini mana maboaꞌ. Hambu ruma boaꞌ telunulu, ruma neenulu, ma ruma losa natun esa.”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.”

21Yesus olaꞌ nakandoo mia ofaꞌ ata. Ana fee seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ esa nae, “Taꞌo bee! Atahori pake lambu, basa ma tatana sia boa rala? Do mbedꞌa e sia mamana susungguꞌ a raeꞌ? Hokoꞌ, to? Mete ma tao taꞌo naa, nda manggareloꞌ saꞌ ena. Atahori musi tao lambu neu mamana naruꞌ fo manggareloꞌ.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?

22De saa fo maꞌafuniꞌ aleꞌ ia, dei fo nene nitaꞌ. Saa fo atahori nda rahine aleꞌ ia sa, dei fo rahine.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Seka mandikiꞌ, rena matalolole.”If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Basa ma Ana olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Dꞌua matalolole Au nenori ngga ia! Mete ma hei uku atahori laen tatao na, atahori o uku hei tataꞌo ma onaꞌ naa boe. Lamatualain o uku hei tatao ma boe. Te Eni uꞌuku na, bera na lenaꞌ.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.

25Atahori mana rae sangga Lamatualain hihii-nanau na, ana tamba mahine. Te atahori mana nda nau fadꞌuli Lamatualain hihii-nanau na sa, ana tamba namanggoa.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

27Basa naa ma Yesus olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Lamatualain nusaꞌ-namo na onaꞌ a fini fo atahori nggari sia osi na.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Mae atahori naa baliꞌ, sungguꞌ-fela, nda nasanedꞌa fini naa sa ena, te fini naa nanumbu ma naꞌamoko nakandooꞌ a.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Fini naa nasodꞌa ao na sia rae a, de nadana, nabuna, losa naisi.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Mete ma namatasa na, tenu osiꞌ a nahineꞌ a nema oruꞌ. Lamatualain nusaꞌ-namo na onaꞌ a naa boe. Basa naa ra, Lamatualain mana tao, nda atahori mana tao sa.”Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Basa naa ma, Yesus olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Au fee seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ esa fo hei mihine Lamatualain atahori nara. Fefeu na hidꞌaꞌ a, te bau dooꞌ, sira bau ramaheta.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Fefeu na, sira onaꞌ a deke anahikiꞌ. Mete ma sela tala e naa, ana nasodꞌa dadꞌi hau huu ineꞌ. Mbui ra rema sangga mafoꞌ fo randuna sia ataꞌ.”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.”

33Taꞌo naa Yesus nanori se, nandaa no sisimbo nara.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Mete ma nanori atahori naeꞌ, ana pakeꞌ a nekendandaaꞌ. Te mete ma no mana tungga nara, Ana nafadꞌe nekendandaaꞌ no sosoa na.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Bobꞌo naa, Yesus feꞌe sia ofaꞌ ataꞌ. De Ana noꞌe mana tungga nara nae, “Ima tisiꞌ seriꞌ naa.”When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

37Basa ma ara sae ofaꞌ ro Yesus. De ara lea laa lao hela atahori ra sia naa. Te ruma sae tungga ofaꞌ laen.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Faiꞌ naa, Yesus sungguꞌ nasambeta ndae langga na neu ainulu a mia ofaꞌ deaꞌ. Nda dooꞌ saꞌ boe, sanggu anin losa. Ree ra poꞌa oe a masoꞌ nisiꞌ ofaꞌ rala, losa naeꞌ a sofe. De mana tungga nara ramatau. Ara fafae rae, “Papa! Fela dei! Hita tae molo ena! Papa nda nau hita tasodꞌa sa, do?”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?”

39Ana fela de ai anin naa nae, “Muloeꞌ!” Ana o parenda dano a nae, “Muꞌumate leon!” Anin naa naloeꞌ ma dano a naꞌamate neuꞌ ena.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.

40Basa ma Yesus natane se nae, “Saa de hei mimitau? Hei nda mimihere Au sa, do?”“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Basa se ramatau ma titindindii, de olaꞌ rae, “Ia, seka e? Losa anin no ree ra rena E!”Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
