Mark 4 (TAW) · Opened

1Jisas ne Galili cheb gol ak amɨl, binɨb okok kɨlop tepayaŋ takaw agñɨnɨg gaknɨŋ, binɨb kuŋay yɨbɨl apnan gɨlak. Anɨgelak, Jisas bot adek ak besɨgɨl, am ñɨg nab sɨŋak mɨdɨlɨg, kɨli ñɨg gol sɨŋak yelak okok kɨlop takaw agñak.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.

2Takaw anɨb okok paladaŋ lɨl, adek keke yɨbɨl agñak.And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3Adek olap paladaŋ lɨl agak, Takaw agɨnɨgebin ak nɨgɨm agak. Bɨ olap wit jakaŋ agɨl, wit mɨdup ak nab wog day okok yokɨnɨgab agak.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Yokenɨgab, ogɨnap kanɨb nab ak yapenɨgab, yawl okok pen ap nɨŋɨd mɨdupsek ñɨŋɨnɨgabal agak.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Ogɨnap kab adek lum sɨkol sɨkol lɨnɨgab okok yapɨl kasek jakɨnɨgab ak pen,Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6kɨdɨl palawl ma amnak tek, sub nɨŋɨd mɨlep gɨnɨgab agak.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Ogɨnap kɨkasɨk tap ñuñu adek yenɨgab nab okok yapɨl jakɨnɨgab ak pen, kɨkasɨk tap ñuñu okok pak ñɨbek mɨdup ma pulɨnɨgab agak.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Pen ogɨnap lum tep adek ak yapɨl, jak tep gɨl, mɨdup pɨl tep yɨbɨl gɨnɨgab agak. Ogɨnap mɨdup 30 tek pulɨnɨgab, ogɨnap mɨdup 60 tek pulɨnɨgab, ogɨnap 100 tek pulɨnɨgab agak.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.”

9Jisas takaw anɨb ak agjulɨg agak, Nɨbi binɨb tɨmud sek okok, takaw anɨb ak nɨgɨnɨmɨb agak.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Binɨb Jisas takaw agaknɨŋ, ap nɨg yelak anɨb okok, keke amnɨlak. Amnɨlaknɨŋ, bɨne anep umɨgan ak sek, binɨb ogɨnap sek nop agɨlak, Takaw paladaŋ lɨl apan jɨj ak tay agɨlak?As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Agelak agak, God binɨb dɨl kɨlop kod yenɨgab ak, takaw we gɨl mɨdolɨgup ak nɨbop gos ñek nɨgɨnɨgabɨm agak. Binɨb yokɨp okok pen, kɨli takaw paladaŋ lɨl agak ak nɨgɨnɨgabal ak pen, takaw jɨj ak ma nɨgɨnɨgabal agak.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,

12Anɨb ak tek, Wɨdɨn pel nepal ak pen, tap ogɨnap ma nepal agak. Takaw pel nepal ak pen, takaw jɨj agup anɨb agɨl ma nepal agak. Nɨgtep gɨpɨlap tek, God nop agnɨgebɨlap, tap si tap tɨmel gɨpal ak tɨg walɨg gɨyokɨpɨkop agak.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Jisas anɨb agɨl kɨlop agak, Takaw paladaŋ lɨl agen ma nepɨm anɨb ak, taydɨl kɨdek takaw paladaŋ lɨl agenɨgayn nɨgɨnɨgabɨm agak?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Bɨ anɨb ak tap yɨŋ yɨmnɨgab ak, God takaw ne ak yɨmnɨgab agak.The farmer sows the word.

15Mɨdup ogɨnap kanɨb adek ak yapek, yawl okok ap ñɨŋɨnɨgabal apin ak, binɨb okok God takaw nepal ak pen, won ak Satan ap gek, sawl gɨnɨgabal agɨl apin agak.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.

16Pen ogɨnap kab adek lum sɨkol sɨkol lɨnɨgab okok yapɨl jakɨnɨgab ak pen, kɨdɨl am wos ma gek, sub nɨŋɨd mɨlep gɨnɨgab apin ak, binɨb okok God takaw ak kɨdek won ak nɨgel tep gaknɨŋ dɨnɨgabal apin agak. Tep gaknɨŋ dɨnɨgabal ak pen, yokɨp sɨkol won olap mɨdɨl, binɨb ogɨnap takaw agel nɨŋɨd akaŋ, mɨŋel ogɨnap apek, takaw nop ak kelɨgɨnɨgabal agɨl apin agak.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

18Pen kɨkasɨk tap ñuñu nab ak yapɨl jakɨl mɨdup ma pulɨnɨgab apin ak, binɨb okok God takaw ne nɨgɨnɨgabal ak pen,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19wog wali, kal mɨj kɨneb, tu mɨnan, mani, tap okok gos kuŋay nɨŋɨd, kuŋay dun agɨl gos nɨgɨnɨgabal agɨl apin agak. Nɨgenɨgabal, God takaw ne ak pak ñɨbek tap mɨdup ne ma pulɨnɨgab agɨl apin agak.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.

20Pen wit mɨdup lum tep adek ak yapɨl jak tep gɨl, mɨdup 30 tek pulɨnɨgab akaŋ, mɨdup 60 tek pulɨnɨgab akaŋ, mɨdup 100 tek pulɨnɨgab apin ak, binɨb okok God takaw nɨŋɨd nop pɨsnep chɨgɨnɨgabal okok apin agak. Kɨli takaw ne dɨtep gɨl, mɨdup ne pulɨnɨgab apin agak.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.”

21Jisas pen tepayaŋ takaw olap paladaŋ lɨl agak, Sup ak dagɨl, abañ muk okok akaŋ, tin muk okok ma lɨpal agak. Mɨlek gɨnɨmuŋ agɨl, adek sɨŋak tɨk lɨpal agak.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?

22Anɨb ak tek, tap okok mɨdupsek we gɨl mɨdeb, sayn mɨseŋ lɨnɨgab agak. Bɨ tap okok mɨdupsek we gel mɨdeb, sayn mɨseŋ lek, binɨb nɨgɨnɨgabal agak.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Nɨbi binɨb gos tɨmud sek yenɨmɨb okok, takaw agebin awl nɨgtep gɨnɨmɨb agak.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Pen kɨlop takaw olap agak, Takaw nɨgebɨm ak nɨŋɨd, nɨgtep gɨnɨmɨb agak. Takaw anɨb ak nɨgenɨgabɨm ak, nɨgtep gɨnɨgabɨm agak. Pen God nɨbop gos teplep yɨbɨl ñenɨgab, nɨgtep gɨnɨgabɨm agak.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.

25Binɨb takaw nɨŋɨd nɨg dɨnɨgabal okok, takaw tep ogɨnap sek nɨgɨnɨgabal agak. Pen binɨb takaw nɨŋɨd ma nɨg dɨnɨgabal okok, kɨli sɨkol sɨkol nepal ak sek pɨsnep kul gɨnɨgab agak.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Jisas takaw olap pen agak, God binɨb dɨl kɨlop kod yenɨgab ak, bɨ wog nap ak wit mɨdup jakaŋ agɨl, dam wog day ne okok yokek jakɨnɨgab tek nep gɨnɨgab agak.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Wit mɨdup wog day okok yokɨl, maynab kɨnenɨgab, subnab ajenɨgab nɨŋɨd, gup gɨl jakɨnɨgab ak pen, taydɨl jakup agɨl ma nɨgɨnɨgab agak.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Lum ne ke gek jakɨl, mɨdup pulɨnɨgab agak. Ned gup jakɨl, nonɨm gup kɨdek mɨdup pulɨnɨgab agak.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Pen tap mɨdup ne ñɨŋeb ñɨn ak jakek, bɨ anɨb ak ne mɨdup ñɨŋeb tek mɨdeb ak tɨkɨnɨgab agak.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Jisas anɨb agɨl agak, God binɨb dɨl kɨlop kod yenɨgab ak, tay takaw paladaŋ lɨl agɨnɨgayn nɨbi nɨgɨnɨgabɨm agak?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Nɨm, mab mastet yɨŋ tek ak agɨnɨm agak. Tap yɨŋ ogɨnap awl yɨbal okok jakup, pen mastet yɨŋ ak sɨkol yɨbɨl yɨbal agak.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Yɨmel, jak awl gɨl, wog nab jakup ak pen, ne tap awl yɨbɨl jakup agak. Jakɨl, lek pakek, yawl okok ap mab lek adek okok lɨ mɨdɨl, sɨsi okok we gɨpal agak.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.”

33Jisas binɨb okok kɨlop takaw paladaŋ lɨl anɨb okok tek kuŋay yɨbɨl agñolɨgup, gos kɨli nɨgɨnɨgel won ak tek agolɨgup.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Takaw mɨseŋ agñen ma nɨgɨnɨgabal agɨl, paladaŋ lɨl nep agñolɨgup ak pen, bɨne okok ayɨp ke mɨdɨlɨg ñɨn ak, takaw jɨj okok agñɨtep golɨgup.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Ñɨn anɨb anep dugep won ak, Jisas bɨne okok kɨlop agak, Kɨd adaŋ amnun agak.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Anɨb agɨl, bɨne okok ayɨp binɨb kuŋay yɨbɨl ap yelak okok kɨlop kelɨgɨl, bot Jisas yek mɨgan ak amɨl, kɨli saŋɨdɨlak. Pen bot ogɨnap abe yelak.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.

37Nab amnɨlaknɨŋ, day yɨgen awl tɨmel yɨbɨl apɨl, ñɨg cheb awl ak pagɨl bot mɨgan ak amnak.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Jisas ne pen bot mɨgan day ayɨm yɨl, kɨmɨg mab lɨl kɨnek, bɨne okok nop am kaskas gɨl agɨlak, Tisa, chɨn mɨdupsek kumnɨgobun gos ak ma nepan agɨlak?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?”

39Agelak, Jisas tɨkjakɨl, yɨgen awl dek ak sek, ñɨg cheb awl ak pag apek ak sek takaw kɨles gɨl agak, Tep, kelɨgan agak. Agek kelɨgak.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.

40Pen bɨne okok kɨlop agak, Taynen pɨlɨkɨpɨm agak? God nop gos ma lɨnepɨm akaŋ agak?“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Agek, kɨli pɨlɨkɨl, pen kɨli ke agnɨg agnɨg agɨlak, Bɨ anɨb awl an agɨlak? Taydɨl agosup yɨgen awl dek ak sek, ñɨg pag apek ak sek agup tek kelɨgup agɨlak.Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
