Mark 4 (ZAJP) · Opened

1Yesu kasonga kufundiza mumgwazo wa Idilamba da Galilaya. Wanhu kombenakombena wammemela womzunguluka wakala dale kulu, avo kengila mngalawa na kakala himo. Ija ingalawa ikala mumgwazo wa idilamba, na ididale da wanhu wakala wemile mhwani, mulugigo lwa igamazi.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.

2Kawafundiza vinhu bwando mmahala.And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3Yolonga, “Tegelezeni! Mulimi kachola kuhanda mbeyu.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Viyakalile yomiza, ziyagwe zilagalila mnzila, ndege weza wazija.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Ziyagwe zilagalila muna uulongo uli na mabwe, hakalile na ulongo mdodo. Hima zimbeyu zota, kwavija ulongo ukala mdodo.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Zua vidilawile diilukuza imiche, na kwavija ikala na mizizi midodo imiche inyala.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Mbeyu ziyagwe zilagalila mmizomola, imizomola ikula na kuizingiliza imiche, avo hailelile.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Ila ziyagwe zilagalila hana ulongo unogile, zota, zikula na kulela, ziyagwe zilela malongo madatu, ziyagwe zilela malongo sita, na ziyagwe zilela 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.”

9Yesu kamambukiza, “Munhu yali na magwiti na yahulike!”Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Yesu viyakalile yeiyeka, wanahina zake longo dimwe na wabili na wanhu wakalile womtegeleza, wamcholela wamulongela yawalongele nhegulo ya mahala gaja.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Yesu kawedika, “Mweye mgweleligwa nyong'onyo za Undewa wa Mulungu, ila wanhu wali kunze wohulika vinhu vose mmahala,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,

12giladi, ‘Walole, Ila sambiwone, Wahulike, Ila sambiwavitange, Kwavija wahavitanga, womuhindukila Mulungu, Na heyo kovigela kumgongo vilozo vao.’ ”so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Abaho, Yesu kawauza, “Avo kamba hamditanga hala dino, mogatangaze mahala gayagwe?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Imunhu yohanda kohanda imbuli ya Mulungu.The farmer sows the word.

15Wanhu wayagwe walinga kamba mbeyu zilagalile mnzila, haja imbuli ya Mulungu viihandigwe. Kipigiti kikija viwoihulika, Mwenembago kokwiza na kuisola imbuli ya Mulungu ihandigwe mgati 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.

16Wanhu wayagwe walinga kamba mbeyu zilagalile muulongo uli na mabwe. Woihulika imbuli ya Mulungu, na kipigiti kikija woibokela mkudeng'ha.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Ila haiwengila mgati ng'hani avo haikala kipigiti kitali. Uhalawila mgayo ama kugazigwa sama ya imbuli ya Mulungu, woileka hima.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.

18Wanhu wayagwe walinga kamba mbeyu zilagalile mmizomola. Wanhu wano iwo waihulike imbuli ya Mulungu,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19ila mzahimzahi wa ulumwengu uno, kunogela mali na msulukilo wa vinhu bwando viyagwe mmioyo yao voizingiliza imbuli ya Mulungu, avo hawalela mujo.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.

20Ila wanhu wayagwe walinga kamba mbeyu zilagalile muna ulongo unogile. Waihulika imbuli ya Mulungu na waitogola na kulela mujo, wayagwe malongo madatu, wayagwe malongo sita na wayagwe mia.”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.”

21Yesu kagendelela kulonga, “Vino kuna munhu yogala mng'anda kiwenge na kukigubika na kinongo ama kukika hauvungu wa lusazi? Nokona si vivo! Kokika mkingolobweda.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?

22Kinhu chochose kifisigwe chovumbuligwa, na kinhu chochose kigubikigwe chogubuligwa.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Munhu yali na magwiti na yahulike.”If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Vivija kawalongela, “Gagelegezeni ng'hani gaja gomuhulika! Mhima iija yondamuwapimile wayagwe, iyo mhima yondampimilwe mweye, tena yobanziliza.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.

25Waja wali na kinhu wokongezeligwa, na waja walibule kinhu, wobokigwa hata kija ikinhu kidodo kiwalinacho.”For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Yesu kagendelela kulonga, “Undewa wa Mulungu ulinga na munhu yomiza mbeyu mumgunda wake.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Ikilo kowasa na imisi kameso, kipigiti kino chose zimbeyu zozuka na kukula. Ila mwenyego havimanya mbuli zino vuzitendeka.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Ulongo wenyego woutenda umche ukule na kulela. Wosonga koneka umche, abaho matepo, abaho ngano muna imikungwi.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Ngano ihakangala, iyo imunhu kosonga kusenga na zele jake, kwavija kipigiti cha kusenga kivika.”And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Yesu kalonga, “Undewa wa Mulungu tuulinge na choni? Tuulonge mdihala jaki?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Ulinga kamba munhu yasolile mbeyu ya haladali, mbeyu ndodo kubita mbeyu zose muulumwengu, na kuzihanda muisi.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Mkipigiti kiguhi yokula yowa biki kulu ng'hani kubanza mibiki yose na kulava mitambi mikulu mbaka ndege wokwiza na kuzenga mvulu zao muna imbeho yake.”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 kawapetela wanhu mbuli zake mmahala bwando galingile na gano. Kawalongela kamba viwadahile kuvitanga.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Halongile nao chochose bila mahala. Ila viyakalile yeiyeka na wanahina zake, kawalongela kila kinhu.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Ichungulo ya zua didija, Yesu kawalongela wanahina zake, “Tuloke mwambu wa ikabili wa idilamba.”When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Avo wadileka dale da wanhu, wanahina wengila mngalawa ija Yesu yaakalile yeshile kukala, wamsola wachola hamoja nayo. Ngalawa ziyagwe vivija zikala bahaja.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.

37Baho dilawilila kukuzumbi, na mawimbi gasonga kuikunhiza ingalawa, avo isonga kumema mazi.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Yesu kakala kukisogo mwa ingalawa kawasa kuno pala jake kasagamila muna umto. Wanahina wamulamusa wamulongela, “Mkulufunzi! Hukona vihile vitulonda kudanganhika?”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?”

39Yesu kema wima kadikomhokela dibeho, yolonga, “Nyamala!” Na kagalongela ga mawimbi, “Ituze!” Beho dinyamala, na kukala hapozike.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.

40Abaho, Yesu kawalongela wanahina zake, “Habali mkona bwembwe? Mng'hali mwabule nhamanila?”“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Ila wakala wodumba ng'hani na wakala wokiilongela, “Munhu waki ino? Hata beho na mawimbi vomuhulika!”Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
