Mark 4 (YMP) · Opened

1Me Yisu hîndông avîlanô hethak loŋbô hîmô kasîk bomang ya dang. Be avîlanô bêng anông ekalambu yêni thing, êng me hethak yeng te be hê hîmô kasîk îmô bidong liŋdang me avîlanô eva liŋdang ivup ethak.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.

2Me hîndông loho hethak ambô dôhô bêng anông. Be henang nena,And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3“Ondaŋô! Anô te hê hekaliv ya yaŋvêk hîlôk ya kukapô.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Ôpêng hekaliv yaŋvêk takêng me vi hîlôk loŋdaŋlê. Êng me menak êpôm be eyang.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Me doho hîlôk pîk lêk valu be ditu hivutak ketheng oyang, vômbê nena pîk doke yom.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Wakma wak hîmbî hêyô hêk me tem nekapôk, vômbê nena ya galôk me bidong oyang.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Me vi hîlôk long yak lêklilu kapô be yak êng hilumbak hêyô yaŋvêk takêng vôv. Be ditu mî yaŋvêk takêng hik anông amî.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Metom vi hîlôk pîk mavî me hipup be hivutak bêng be hik ya anông. Doho hîtôm 30 me doho 60 me doho 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.”

9Yôv me Yisu henang ethak loho nena, “Môlô ŋa lêk liŋdong me ondaŋô ambô ti katôyang!”Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Avîlanô nômbêng atu etak Yisu be ê, êng me yêni lêk ya ŋa hîndông lauming be lahavôyi me avîlanô takatu be eveng hiving yêni yom ditu loho mô. Me loho nang ik yêni ling ethak ambô dôhô takatu be henang ya ondong.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Me Yisu henang nena, “Wapômbêng lêk hêv ya auk long kapô hethak ya lêkliŋyak neyaŋging avîlanô hêndêng môlô. Metom avîlanô vi atu be îmô yêing vo ya lêkliŋyak bêng, loho thak elaŋô ambô êng hethak ambô dôhô yom.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,

12Bêng be, “ ‘loho tem injê bêng anông, metom tem mî eyala amî. Me tem endaŋô ambô bêng anông, metom tem mî eyala ambô takêng ya ondong amî. Vo dô loho ende kapôlôŋing lîlîng be Wapômbêng êŋgêv loho ning kambom vê andô.’ ”so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Me Yisu henang ethak loho nena, “Môlô mî oyala ambô dôhô ti amî mesa? Yôv be tem môlôyala ambô dôhô vi bisête?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Anô atu be hevatho yaŋvêk, êng me hîtôm yêni hevatho Wapômbêng ya ambô.The farmer sows the word.

15Me avîlanô vi me hîtôm yaŋvêk atu be ekaliv hîlôk loŋdaŋlê. Ŋa takêng elaŋô Wapômbêng ya ambô, metom ketheng oyang me Sakdang hêyô be hêv ambô takatu be evatho hîlôk loho kapôlôŋing vê.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.

16Me avîlanô vi me hîtôm yaŋvêk ekaliv hîlôk long valu oyang. Elaŋô Wapômbêng ya ambô be êv iving ketheng lêk leŋing mavî.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Metom mî hîmbî galôk amî be ditu eva vauyaŋna yom, vômbê nena wakma malêing lêk vovang hêpôm loho hethak Wapômbêng ya ambô. Êng me etak ining êv iving ketheng oyang.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.

18Me avîlanô vi hîtôm yaŋvêk ekaliv hîlôk long yak lêklilu kapô. Avîlanô takêng elaŋô Wapômbêng ya ambô,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19metom loho leŋiŋhiki bêng anông hethak ining lêkmala pîk iti lêk valuseleng hêvôv loho be maleŋing daŋtang ethak nômkama lomaloma. Auk takêng ditu hithivung Wapômbêng ya ambô be loho mî ik anông amî.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.

20Me avîlanô vi me hîtôm yaŋvêk ekaliv hîlôk pîk mavî. Elaŋô be evalong long hêk loho kapôlôŋing. Doho hik anông hîtôm 30 me doho hîtôm 60 me doho 100.”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.”

21Me Yisu henang ik loho ling nena, “Môlô thak ôtôm lam be othong hîlôk wîng kapô mesa uvung hîmô long kapô? Mî, môlô tôm be ôthôkêng hethak eva aling.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?

22Nômkama nômbêng atu be hîmô long kapô, êng me yôv ketem nimbutak yêing. Me nômkama takatu be anô ivung hêk long kapô, êng me yôv ketem nimbutak yêing.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Môlô ŋa lêk liŋdong me ondaŋô ambô ti katôyang!”If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Yôv me Yisu henang nena, “Ambô takatu be môlô laŋô me lemim êŋgêv katô. Be ditu kombom alê atu be hôthô anô vi lelalîlîng, hethak kombom êng yom ditu tem Wapômbêng îthô ong lelalîlîng bêng yom me tem netak doho êyômô long imbing.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.

25Ôpatu be heyala Wapômbêng ya ambô tem Wapômbêng êŋgêv auk bêng anông êndêng yêni. Metom ôpatu be mî heyala Wapômbêng ya ambô amî me ya auk mavî atu be bôk hîmô hiving yêni me Wapômbêng tem nêŋgêv vê.”For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Me Yisu henang nena, “Wapômbêng ya lêkliŋyak bêng me bêŋiti. Anô te hekaliv yaŋvêk hîlôk ya kukapô.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Me thak hêk hêndêng bîlîvông me heveng hêndêng lêkwak. Metom yaŋvêk da hipup be hivutak bêng be anô êng mî heyala amî.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Pîk da hevong ya ku be yaŋvêk êng hipup be livuk hivutak me hîmbî ŋaung be hik va hêyô hîmô. Be ditu nôm takêng da hepesang i. Yôv me wakma hêyô be anô êng hiwa bîng be hele anông ethak, vômbê nena waklavông imbua anông hêyô.”All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

30Me Yisu henang nena, “Tem ya nang bisête ethak Wapômbêng ya lêkliŋyak bêng vo nêŋgêv auk êndêng môlô? Lêk ambô dôhô alê yang, ditu tem ya nang?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Wapômbêng ya lêkliŋyak me hîtôm alokwang va yaôna te be anô te hevatho hîlôk ya kukapô. Alokwang va êng me yaônalêk.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Metom hevatho be hipup me hivutak lêkwaê vo nômkama kukapô vi. Be thaŋang me lêkwaê be ditu long kapô mavî vo menak endav ining melak îndôk be îmô.”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.”

33Me Yisu thak henang ambô dôhô bêng anông bêng yom hethak avîlanô. Me hîndông loho hîtôm loho da ning auk vo endaŋô be eyala.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Avîlanô bêng anông îmô hiving yêni, be ditu thak hîndông loho hethak ambô dôhô yom. Me waklavông yêni da lêk ya ŋa hîndông yom îmô, êng me thak henang ambô dôhô sapêng ya ondong bêng hethak loho.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Wak êng ya yathiŋdang hêmbôk me Yisu henang ethak ya ŋa hîndông nena, “Aô na kasîk bomang viyang vulu.”When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Êng me loho tak avîlanô nômbêng atu me ethak yeng atu be Yisu hîmô be ê. Me yeng doho ê hiving.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.

37Êng me lovak bêng te hêyô, be hiyuv ŋanam be ŋanam hivutak hîlôk yeng kapô, be hevong vo nembak yeng thethong.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Yisu hêyô hêk kwalim te hêk yeng landang be hêkthôm. Êng me ya ŋa hîndông êyô ik yêni ling be enang nena, “Kîdôŋga, mî lem iŋgik ong nena ŋanam tem nendok aô vônô amî mesa?”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?”

39Êng me Yisu hiviyô me hethang ŋanam budum lêk lovak be henang nena, “Notaving be nôŋgwêk yaô!” Êng me lovak hema me ŋanam hêk tiŋeng.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.

40Me Yisu henang ethak ya ŋa hîndông nena, “Môlô kô vo? Mî môlô êv iving amî denang e?”“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Me ŋa êng elowaling kambom be enang ik loho da ling nena, “Ôpiti me anô alête be ditu ŋanam lêk lovak elaŋô ya ambô be esopa.”Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
