Mark 4 (ZAK) · Opened

1Yeesu akataanga okweegya kweeki abhaatu, embarika we enyaanza. Esaango ekuru ya abhaatu ekamwiikumanira. Kweego, akatiira mubhwaato, akiikaramu okubha bhatamwiiruumbirira. Abhaatu bhakasaaga embarika we enyaanza.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.

2Yaari arabheegya ameegyo maaru kwe ebhireengyo. Mumeegyo gaaye yaari arabhuga,And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3“Yaariho omubhusuri wumwe wuno yagiiri mumuguundu gwaaye, okubhusura eziimbibho zyaaye.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Hano yaari akubhusura, eziimbibho eziindi zikagwa kunzira, ebhinyonyi bhikaaza, bhikazirya.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Eziimbibho eziindi zikagwa kurukerege hano hataari na amarobha maaru. Eziimbibho ziyo zikamera bhwaangu, kwo okubha amarobha gaari masuuhwiigo.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Hano omubhaso gwabhariri, gukoomya amarobha garya, eziimbibho zikanyaara no okwooma, kwo okubha emiri gitaari mitaambi.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Eziimbibho eziindi zikagwa mumahwa. Hano amahwa gayo gaakiiniri, gakazihiga, zikatamwa kukongʼa.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Nawe, eziimbibho eziindi zikagwa mumarobha amazomu, zikamera, zikakiina no okwiibhura. Eziindi zikiibhura miroongo etatu (30), eziindi zikiibhura miroongo esaasabha (60), ne eziindi zikiibhura igana rimwe (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.”

9Kyaamwe Yeesu akabhabhuurira, “Wa amatwi, yiitegeerere kisi!”Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Hano abhaatu bhe esaango bhaatanwiiri, Yeesu akasaaga na abheega bhaaye ikumi na bhabhiri, na abhaanabheega abhaandi. Niho bhakamubhuurya iguru yo obhugazuro bhwe ebhireengyo bhyaaye.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Akabhakyoora, “Emwe niimwe nikubhakuundukurira eziimbiso zyo obhutemi bhwa Taatabhugya. Nawe abhaatu bhano bhatakunituniirira, ndabhabhuurira goosi kwe ebhireengyo,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,

12kyeego omurooti Isaya yakaamiri, ‘Okurora bharore, bhatamenya ryoryoosi. Okwiigwa bhiigwe amangʼana gaane, bhatamenyeekererya ryoryoosi. Eraabhe itiingabheeri ego, bhaangiikyooriri bhate ebhibhi bhyaabhu, nibhaabhire.’ ”so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Niho Yeesu akabhuga, “Bhoono, mutamirwe okumenyeekererya ekireengyo kino, erabhabhwi kubhiindi?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Omubhusuri ni muutu wuno akubharaarikira abhaandi engʼana ya Taatabhugya.The farmer sows the word.

15Abhaatu abhaandi bharatuubhana na amarobha ga kunzira. Hano bhakwiigwa ego engʼana ya Taatabhugya, Seetaani araaza, no okuruusyaho engʼana yirya muziikoro zyaabhu.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.

16Abhaandi bharatuubhana na amarobha ga kurukerege hano hatana amarobha maaru. Hano bhakwiigwa engʼana ya Taatabhugya, hayohayo bharayiikirirya bhwaangu kwo obhuzomererwa.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Nawe, bharagwaata amangʼana gayo kwiibhaga iguhi ego, gataari muusi waabhu bhukongʼu kyeego ebhituutu bhino bhitana emiri. Hano eziinyaako kasi amakongʼu garaabhabhone kwiiguru wa amangʼana, rugeendo rumwe bharatiga obhwiikirirya.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.

18Abhaandi bharatuubhana na amarobha ga mumahwa. Bhariigwa engʼana ya Taatabhugya,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19nawe bharangʼeenwa na amiiseego iguru yo obhwiikari bhuno ne enaamba yo obhuniibhi no okwiigoomba kukomya ebhigiro ebhizomu ebhiindi. Kweego, engʼana yiyo erahigwa no okutama kwiibhura emisumo.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.

20Na abhaandi bharatuubhana na amarobha amazomu. Bhano bhakwiigwa engʼana ya Taatabhugya no okuyiisuungʼaana no okwiibhura emisumo, owumwe miroongo etatu (30), owuundi miroongo esaasabha (60) no owuundi igana rimwe (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.”

21Yeesu akabhabhuurira, “Mbe, ariho omuutu wuno akwaakya etara no okuyikuundikirya mwiiruungu, kasi arayikuundikirya museengo? Atakuyituura iguru mukikuumbo ebhe eramurika hoosi?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?

22Ego niigo ryoryoosi rino ribhisirwe, rirarorekana no okubha kubhweero. Kweeki, ryoryoosi rino rikuundikiirwe, rirakuundukurwa.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Wa amatwi, yiitegeerere kisi!”If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Niho Yeesu akageenderera kubhabhuurira, “Mwiitegeerere bhuzomu! Ekireengo kino mukureengera abhaandi, nikyo kino Taatabhugya araabhareengere emwe no okwoongeribhwa.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.

25Wowoosi wuno akwiikirirya amangʼana ga Taatabhugya no okugamenya, Taatabhugya aramusakirya no okumwoongerya okugamenya. Nawe wowoosi wuno atakwiikirirya gayo, Taatabhugya aramuteesya naabhe ekisuuhu kino anakyo.”For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Kweeki Yeesu akoongera kubhuga, “Nibhabhuurire ekireengyo ekiindi, okubha nibheegye obhutemi bhwa Taatabhugya kyeego bhuri. Omuutu owumwe akeemya eziimbibho mumuguundu.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Obhutiku arahiindira no omwiisi arabhuuka, eriibhaga riyo, eziimbibho zirya zirabha ziramera no okukura, neewe omurimi atamenyiri kyeego zikukiina.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Amarobha garakiinia eziimbibho zirya no okwiibhura. Hiinga ziramera eriitu, zirataanga kusibhuka, mubhuteero ziraruusya ebhigara bhino bhine eziimbibho.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Emisumo giyo hano gikukongʼa, hayo niho omurimi akugesa.”And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Yeesu akoongerya kubhabhuurira, “Angu, tubhutuubhanie obhutemi bhwa Taatabhugya naki? Tubhutuubhanie ne ekireengyo kiihe?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Bhutuubheeni kya akatetere ke eharadaari, niyo etetere esuuhu kukira eziitetere zyoosi zino zikweemibhwa mumuguundu.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Hano ekumera, erabha omuti mukuru kukira ebhituutu bhyoosi bhye eziinyenyi mumuguundu. Gurabha na amasagya amakuru ne ebhinyonyi bhikuuza no okwiikara iyaasi we ekizuruuru kya mumasagya gaaku.”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.”

33Yeesu akarwaaza amangʼana ga Taatabhugya kwe ebhireengyo bhyaaru, akabhabhuurira kyeego bhakanagya okurimenyeekererya.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Yaari aragaamba nabho kwe ebhireengyo ego. Nawe, hano yaari omweene na abhaanabheega bhaaye, akabheerekeererya goosi.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Orusiku ruyo engoroobha, Yeesu akabhabhuurira abhaanabheega bhaaye akabhaswaagya, “Twaambuke enyaanza.”When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Bhakatiga esaango ya abhaatu, bhakasikira mubhwaato muno Yeesu yaari, bhakatanura hamwe. Haari na amaato agaandi gano bhakakaangatania nago.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.

37Niho obhukama bhuhaari bhukongʼu bhukataanga okuhuumbuuta munyaanza. Amabhooka gaari garatema obhwaato, amaanzi gakataanga kusikira mubhwaato bhukeenda kwiizura.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Eriibhaga riyo, Yeesu yaari ahiindiiri eziitiro inyuma mubhwaato, yiisagwiiri omusago. Abhaanabheega bhaaye bhakamubhuukya, bhakamubhuurira, “Omweegya, otakumura kubha turasika?”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?”

39Niho, Yeesu akiimeerera no okurekya obhukama na amabhooka, akabhuurira enyaanza, “Okire kiri! Horeera!” Obhukama bhurya bhukatiga okuhuumbuuta, hakahoreera.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.

40Kyaamwe, Yeesu akabhabhuurya abhaanabheega bhaaye, “Kwaki muroobhoha? Naabhe bhoono mukyaari kubha no obhwiikirirya?”“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Ebho bhakoobhoha bhukongʼu, bhakataanga okwiibhuurya, “Ni weewi wuno, naabhe obhukama na amabhooka bhiramwiigwa?”Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
