Mark 4 (SBK) · Opened

1Ahanda abha manyizywe mu shinjhe izhumbi. Ni bhunga ingosi ihubhungana ihazyhungula, ahinjila muhati inyitu li musumbi, ahakhala. Ibhuga yunthi ihali izywungulile mushinje munsumbi mu fukweni.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.

2Abhamanyizhwa inongwa inyinji huvifwani, ayanga wa bhene hunsundo zyakwe.And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3Uvhi ikopba ihabhalile atote.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Pali atota, zimo imbeyu zyalagala mwidala, inyonyizywahinza zywalya.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Imbeyu zimo zywalaga mumwala, pasipali ninzhi inyinji iyaye. Mara zikanyauka, kwa sababu hazikuwa na udongo wakutosha.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Lelo isanya palyahatukula, zywatenguha, lelo pheposazywali na kholo zyahumaa.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Imbeyu zimo zywalagala pahati pamivhwa. Amivhwagazi puta, saga zhwasiga indundu zywa zwunthi.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Imbeyu izwenje zhwalagala munzhi inyinza zhwapa indundu pazi wonjelela, zimo zihasagala along gatatu sana, zimo malogo tanda, na zimo malogo mia.”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.”

9Ahayanga, “Wabhunti uwi makutu agahuvhwe, naayuvhaje!”Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10U Yesu pahavha mwene, bhala habha phiphi nu mwene bhala ilongo nabhantu bhantu bhahabhuzywa ehusu ivifwani.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Ahayanga wavhene, “Amwe mpewilwe utawala uwa Nguluvhi. Lelo bhala abhalihunzi shila hatu wayanje nivifwani, ili gawenya, ena wenya,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,

12lelo hawenya, phepo pahuvhwa, lelo sahuvhwa wawenya, lelo sawenya wala hawe lewa nahuvhe, lelo gabhe bhagaluhananga Ungulubhi abhahoshelanga.”so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Ahayanga wabhene, “Ishi samuwelewa ivifwani ivhi? Mugawezwa bhuli awelewe ifwani ivhinje?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Ikopha itotile izyo.The farmer sows the word.

15Lelo bhala bhalagala mushinjhe mwidala, papizywa lwatotilwe. Pala pabhahuvha, pepo uSetano ahiza naweje izywo lila lwatotilwe muhati yao.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 bhamo bhala bhatwa mumwala palyuvha izywa, shalubhilo shalulo bhalipola huwaushe.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Sabhanakholo gangunthi muhahati yao, lelo vhajimba humuda ufupi. Amayimba na yushe wao paviweza hunongwa yizyo vhafiha bhambumila.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.

18Bhamo vhala bhatotwa kati yimivha bhahuvha izywo,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19lelo ayimba agamunzhi akhopelwe nishuma nivinyonya zwa mambo aganji, huhuwaingia nasupe izywo na limenwa apape amadudu.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.

20Na bhawili abhabhatotilwe munzhi inyinza. Bhalwuvha izywo nali pashele bhapapa amandundu: bhamo malongo gatatu bhamo malongo tanda bhamo mia moja.”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.”

21U Yesu abhambula, “Je unaleta ta ndani ya nyumba nakuweka panzhi ishitundu, au pansi pashitala? Uleta muhati na bhishe pamwanya pakinara.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?

22Na hami hahabhajile afise asahagabhoneha, nahakuna siri iyasiga abhapazeru.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Khawele uwimakutu gahuvhe ayuvhwaje!”If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Akawaambia, “Mubhanje maso na hala amuhuvhwa, alingane ishipimo shila ishampima ndio shisho shamwapimilwa shayonjelezewa hulimwe.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.

25Afutane aje uhula uwanao ayejelela vinji tee, ulakwasanao afume wamwe ene vyayegwa navila uvya navyo.”For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Ayanga, “Utawala uwa Ngulubhi ufananasiwa nu muntu uwa vyala imbeyu mwilongo.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Pahagona adamula na shabwi imbeyu zyatiuha nakule, ikiwa haga hamanya shifumile.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Izhi ifumia imbeyu yiiyo asoti amatundu baada yipo uwezya, nanthele imbeyu izyazikhomile.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Lelo imbeyu ya payakho ma atwala inhengo, pipo avune hufishile.”And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Ayaanga, “Tufwananiswe utawala wa Ngulubhi nahanthushi, au tumile hanthuuli amatumile hanthu uwuli awelezyezye?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Ili nishi imbeyu yiladai, lelo pihatotwaga hali hadodo sana kuko imbeyu zywunthi munshi.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Hata lula ulwitothilwe igosi sana kuliko vhu nthi ivha vitotilwe mubusitani ivheha inzamba ingosi nazi inyenji ziwezya akhale nabheshe ivhansu ali nganaje inzunda yakwe.”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.”

33Amafano aminji amanyizywe ayanjile inongwa wa bhene, shinza ishabhawezizye awelewe,With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34haga ayangaga anabho bila fwano. Lelo lula ulimwene, ahabha bhula asundwa bhakwe shila hantu.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Lelo isiku ilwo ulwe vhela pawafishile, ayanga wabhene,When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36“Sanli upande uwa bhili”. Pipo bhaileha ibhuga, bhahamwenga uYesu, uwakati bhuwo ahavha mwituli. Amatuli aganji galipandwimo numwene.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.

37Ihala ihali ihavhulungwe amawimbi gahijilaga muhati mwintuli na ituli nagamimile.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Lelo uYesu yuyo alikuwa kwenye shetri, ali agonelile mwisoho. Bhahadamusya, bhayanga, “Wamwalimo, hangu saga ati tufwa?”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?”

39Abhuha audamila ihala aibhula inzumbi, '“Ibhe shinza, huwaushe”. Ihala ihaleha, wahavha miee sana.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.

40Ayanga wa bhene, “Yenu mu hwogopa? Samulinima bado?”“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Bhahabha nihofu moyo gabho bhayangana vhene kwa vhene, “Unu yunanu antele, hata ihula ihumwogopa?”.Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
