Mark 4 (TBX) · Opened

1Yesu lox teyoxe xel qendu ngandoung wei qekuma is e yon no nanghei lounyeing nenyawes. Inyon xel qendu ngandoung wei nale wou e ma yon ngenong, om moxo la eivek bot lek lounyeing me la dei dom xel xomaxoneing dalus on toungale wou lounyeing nenyawes.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.

2Om moxo di teyoxe xel en lul ngenong eivek qayeeng pakeing, me eivek e xe teyoxeing eno inye,And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3“Ngo! Xuk ma ti la en embei na davuw e xe lulul vei eivek xuk.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Ka moxo di vuw lulul vei lala, valu teila wou sakwaing, me menek lam ya ema.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5De valu teila lek qakous qakous, wei tembuing nimza maeing, om lulul vei yon vindek lam daing, nambei tembuing on se la ghembi.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Ekom gyeik sayeiv leklam, lulul vei wei tyip on eno sayeiv leis om xel mey en nambei xel luselis ma.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7De vei valu teila eivek qeis wei yingying, wei ling me leklam apu me nale zeyi lul tyipeing, om xel se vuk neing.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8De vei valu teila lek tembuing nimza om tyip me lam apu, ling ngandoung me vuk neing ngenong nambei xoumeeng yal (30), 60 me 100.”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.”

9Woyom Yesu neil, “Eti nenya toundei lek e bei e ngo, yond wong e ngo wou qayeeng.”Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Gyeik xel qendu ngandoung la veil, de e venaxow toundei eno xel betiyeing xoumeeng yuw me xel ba wei vivekwou e eno teling en qayeeng pakeing beimambei ne.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Moxo neil wou xel, “Anutu xe qayeeng xupekeing wei tete lalei, eno wong wou xam. Ekom wou xel wei toundei myayaing, eno lul dalusateiv a neil eivek qayeeng pakeing.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,

12Om “‘xel a mi gyei le ekom tyek xel se gyeiwou, me na mi ngo, ekom xel se teyeimbei boulek, wangwei se nambei nyon nei tyek xel pekwi xow me Anutu semaleeng xel xe nilul veil.’”so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Woyom Yesu neil wou xel, “Beip xam seng woulek qayeeng pakeing tine? Woyom nambei nya tyek xam ghe boulek qayeeng pakeing dalus?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Tambiy wei mema xuk eno vuw Anutu xe xoulek.The farmer sows the word.

15Xomaxoneing valu eno nambei vei wei teila lek sakwaing, wei xel vuw xoulek, gyeik kawei xel ngo yo, Sandang lam me zeim xoulek wei xel xen eivek xel eno veil.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.

16De xel valu eno nambei vei wei xel vuw xoulek lek qakous qakous o, xel ngo xoulek me lutika eno xel qou is xeindlala.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Ekom xel xe luselis eno ma, xel nale teyei lek seivma nayaka. Gyeik ingwei nimaying o xomaxoneing wo nol wou xel, en ingwei xel betiwou Anutu xe xoulek, om xel nind wongeingis eno tei daing.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.

18Xel valu nambei vei wei xel vuw eivek yis wei niying o. Xel ngo xoulek,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19ekom xel wo laleind maying en mapieing tine, kwa wei embei bo lulul ana eno mi tyoxe xel, me woueing nalei en lul valu lam eivek me nale zeyi xoulek, om se wo neing.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.

20Ekom xel valu, eno nambei vei wei xel vuw lek tembuing aneing wei nimza yo, om xel ngo xoulek me laleind vind om xel vuk neing teyei lek xoumeeng yal (30), 60 me 100 inyon vati wei xel ev o.”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.”

21Moxo neil wou xel, “Beip wang qou lam me ghe lam bei toung eivek dengmuing lalei o lelek xeinghembi? Ma, wa toung lek vaxa wei mi nale lek o?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?

22En vatiyeiw wei dei xupekeing, eno tyek nam yanyateiv, de vatiyeiw wei yeip xupekeing eno tyek xel a qou me nam myayaing.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Wangwei xelti nenya toundei lek e bei e ngo, ond wong e ngo wou qayeeng.”If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Om moxo neil wou xel, “Xam a ni nenyam wou vati wei xam a bei ngo yo eno xam ghe bou naleimim en embo nimza. Vamva wei xam ghe ngo yo eno tyek Anutu bong lupeyei vamva yon noum wou xam me tyek bong lupeyei valu lek mapu wou xam is.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.

25De wangwei eti na qou lupeyei, ond tyek na qou lupeyei valu lek mapu is. Dom wangwei eti se qou lupeyei ond tyek lupeyei kawei qou yo eno tyek na zeim veil e.”For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26De Yesu neil no, “Tete lalei wei Anutu yo, teyei lek ambei moux ti vuw vei lala lek tembuing.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Boukeing me bendiyeing eno moxo mi yeip o qandi lek, de vei wei xen eno tyip me ling ambei nya eno se woulek.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Tembuing venaxow wong lul on tyip, yateiv belup atax dekakom wo lis lek, de woyom vuk neing lek lu.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Dekalekom gyeik neing wo ngandoung me zuw, eno moxo zeim ngeyeing wou en nambei inye bouk wei qoueing neing o.”And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30De Yesu neil no, “Tyek xey a boulek Anutu xe tete lalei eno nambei nya? O tyek xey a neil qayeeng pakeing vati en e neilteyei?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Inye nambei mastet vei, vei ne nayakamaing ka veil vei wei wang mi xen eivek tembuing o.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Ka gyeik eveing o, ling me wo teta me wo ngandoungateiv ghanaw lulul dalus wei eveing eivek xuk on, is mema ngandoung, inyon menek menek tyek nam bako lewis eivek e xe senyoleeng.”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.”

33Yesu luk qayeeng pakeing ngenong is xoulek wou xel, teyeimbei xel a ngo wou.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Moxo se neil luti wou xel, qe di neil qayeeng sapa yon eivek qayeeng pakeing. Ekom gyeik e venaxow mindei is e xe xel betiyeing eno moxo mi neil lul dalus yeip yaing wou xel.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Lek bouk kayon gyeik soukeing di lam, eno moxo neil wou e xe xel betiyeing, “Xey ambei na nge loxalu nei.”When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Xel ghanaw xomaxoneing qendu ngandoung on dom xel qou e me la lek bot tiwei Yesu toundei lek o. Inyon bot valu la is xel.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.

37De inyon laweeng valeivek ti tyip, me mamileeng di vuklek me lam leislek bot me embim a puplek.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Yesu toundei eivek bot leyus, me di yeip lek pilo. Xel betiyeing piyexe e me neil wou e, “Putoung, inyon wa seng pyanaleim en ingwei xey a bim a mey ne?”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?”

39Moxo qandi lek me luk nikanzek wou laweeng de neil wou mamileeng wei di vuk me lam on, “Denduing ma! Dom weip kanzek!” Woyom laweeng mey de mamileeng yeip kanzek.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.

40E neil wou xel betiyeing, “Nambei nya ekom xam ghe waleeng? Beip xam seng ghei wongis?”“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Xel yaleeng ngandoung me teling wouma, “Tambiy tine eti? Omek laweeng me mamileeng ngo e vya ne!”Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
