Mark 4 (TDX) · Opened

1Ie niorotse nañoke añ’olon-driake eo indraike le akore ty hamaron-dahialeñe nihipoke ama’ey kanao nijon-dakañe le niambesatse an-driake ey, vaho tañ’ olotse, an-tamboho ey i màroy.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.

2Le nitaroña’e raha maro am-pandrazàñañe, vaho hoe re te nañoke:And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3Inao: Teo te niavotse mb’eo ty mpandrara-tabiry handrarake.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Ie nandrarake, le nipoke añ’ olon-dalañe eo ty ila’e vaho nimb’eo o voroñeo nitsimok’ aze.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Ty ila’e nipoke ami’ty lamilamy marivo tane, fe nitiry aniany, amy te tsy nilaleke i taney,Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6ie nanjirike i àndroy, fe nimae, vaho niforejeje amy te tsy niam-bahatse.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Nipoke am-patike ao ka ty ila’e, fe nitiram-patike nampidageañe aze vaho tsy namoa.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Ty ila’e nipoke an-tane hoba, le nitiry naho nandrevake vaho namokatse, teo ty telo-polo, teo ty enem-polo, vaho teo ty zato.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.”

9Le hoe re: Ze aman-dravembia mahajanjiñe, Le mijanjiña.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Ie nitolake, le nañontanea’ o mpiama’eo naho i folo ro’amby rey i nirazañe’ey,As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Inahareo ro nitolorañe ty tafatoño’ i Fifehean’ Añaharey, fe hene razañeñe o alafe’eoHe replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,

12soa te: ie miisake, ro hañisake fe tsy hahaoniñe; ie mitsendreñe, ro hijanjiñe, fe tsy haharendreke; ke hitolike, vaho ho hahàñe o tahi’iareoo.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Tsy nirendre’ areo hao i ohatse zay? aa le akore ty haharendreha’ areo o fandrazañañe iabio?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Mandrarake o tsarao i mpandrarakey.The farmer sows the word.

15O añ’olon-dalañeo, amy nandrarahañe i tsaraiy, ie mijanjiñe, pok’eo aniany i mpañìnjey manoitse i tsara nararake am’ iareoy.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.

16Manahake izay o nararake am-batovatoeñeo, ie mahatsendreñe i tsaray le mandrambe aze an-kaehake amy zao;Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17f’ie tsy amam-bahatse, le aniany avao te mitojeha ty hasilofañe ndra ty fampisoañañe ty amy tsaray le torifike iareo.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.

18I nararake am-patike ao rezay, le o mijanjiñe i tsaraio,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19fe mitsamoake ao ty fihakahaka’ ty tane toy, naho ty hakalitaha’ o varao, naho ty hatea-raha ila’e, ze mahadageañe i tsaray tsy hamokatse.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.

20O retoañe nararake an-tane soao, le mijanjiñe i tsaray naho mandrambe aze vaho mamokatse: eo ty telo-polo, eo ty enem-polo, vaho eo ty zato.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.”

21Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Endeseñe ho rongonan-karoñe hao ty jiro? ke hazilike ambane fandreañe ao? tsy hàmake t’ie apoke am-panampezan-jiro ey hao?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?

22Toe tsy ao ty naetake ze tsy ho bentareñe, vaho tsy ao ty nitsikoeñe ze tsy ho boraheñe.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Ze aman-dravembia hijanjiñe, Mijanjiña.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Ereñereo o janjiñe’ areoo; fa ami’ty fañarànañe añaràna’ areo ro añarànañe ama’ areo vaho ho tompeañe ama’areo mijanjiñe.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.

25Ho tovoñeñe ze manañe, fa ami’ty tsy manañe ndra ty kedekedek’ ama’e ro sintoneñe.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Le hoe re: Razañeñe amy t’indaty mandrarake tabiry an-tane eo i Fifehean’ Añaharey,Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27mirotse re te haleñe naho mitroatse boak’ andro; mitiry naho mitombo i tabiriy, fe tsy apota’e te manao akore.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Mampitiry ho aze i taney: i losoy aolo, le i toka-tsofi’ey, vaho izay o voa’e matoe an-doha’eo.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Ie rifo le ahitri’e i mesoy fa tondroke ty fitatahañe.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Hoe ka re: Inoñe ty handrazañan-tika i Fifehean’ Añaharey? Ohatse manao akore ty ampidodean-tika aze?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Ampanahafeñe ami’ty voa-nonoke, ie amboleañ’ an-tane ro kede amy ze tabiry an-tane atoy;It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32f’ie tongisañe, le mitiry naho midorenake mandikoatse ze hatae an-tetek’ao vaho ampandrevahe’e tsampañe hanoa’ o voron-dikerañeo traño añ’alo’e ao.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.”

33Maro ty fandrazañañe nitsarae’e hoe izay ty amy nahafijanjiña’ iareo.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Le tsy nitaroña’e naho tsy am-pandrazañañe avao; ie nitolake vaho nampalange ze he’e amo mpiama’eo.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Ie niroñe ho hariva i àndroy, le hoe re am’iereo: Antao hitsake mb’andafe eñe.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Nienga i lahialeñey iereo naho nendesen-dre, ie tan-dakañe ao avao. Nindre lia ama’e ka ty lakañe ila’e.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.

37Nikofaok’ amy zao ty tio-bey, le trinabotrabo’ o onjao i lakañey, vaho nañaly ho pea.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Tam-boli’ i lakañey re nirotse añ-akalañe, le nampivañoneñe ami’ty hoe: O Talè, tsy ahoa’o hao t’ie òpo?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?”

39Nitroatse re nitrevoke i tiokey naho nanao ty hoe amy riakey, Manintsiña, mipendreña. Le nijihetse i tiokey vaho nipendreñe ami’ty do’e.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.

40Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Ino ty ihembaña’ areo? Mboe tsy am-patokisañe hao?“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41F’ie nianifañe, nifanao ty hoe: Ondaty manao akore v’itoio, te ivohora’ i tiokey naho i riakey!Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
