Mark 4

Jezi te rekòmanse ap bay mesaj la bò lanmè Galile a ankò. Foul moun ki te sanble bò kote l' la te sitèlman anpil, li te blije moute chita nan yon kannòt ki te sou lanmè a. Tout foul moun yo menm te rete atè sou rivaj la, toupre dlo a.

And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

Li t'ap rakonte yo kèk parabòl pou l' te moutre yo anpil bagay. Li di yo konsa:

And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

-Koute! Yon nonm soti pou li al simen grenn nan jaden li.

Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

Pandan li t'ap simen grenn yo, kèk grenn tonbe bò chemen an. Zwazo vini, yo manje yo.

And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

Yon pati tonbe nan mitan wòch, kote ki pa t' gen anpil tè. Grenn sa yo leve byen vit, paske tè a pa t' fon.

And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

Men, lè solèy la chofe, li boule ti plant yo. Yo cheche paske rasen yo pa t' fon.

But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

Yon lòt pati tonbe nan mitan pye pikan. Pikan yo grandi, yo toufe bon ti plant yo, kifè yo pa t' ka donnen.

And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

Men, yon lòt pati ankò tonbe nan bon tè. Plant yo leve, yo grandi, yo donnen. Gen ladan yo ki bay trant grenn, lòt bay swasant, lòt ankò bay san (100).

And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

Apre sa, Jezi di yo konsa: -Si nou gen zòrèy poun tande, tande.

And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Apre Jezi te fin kite gwo foul moun yo dèyè, moun ki te toupre l' yo ansanm ak douz disip li yo di li: -Esplike nou parabòl sa a non.

And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

Li di yo: -Nou menm, nou resevwa sekrè Peyi kote Bondye Wa a; men moun ki deyò yo, yo tande tout bagay an parabòl.

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

Konsa Yo mèt gade byen gade, men yo p'ap wè. Yo mèt tande byen tande, men yo p'ap konprann, pou yo pa tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pou Bondye padonnen peche yo.

That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

Apre sa, Jezi di yo: -Nou pa konprann parabòl sa a? Ki jan n'a fè pou nou konprann tout lòt parabòl yo? Koute!

And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

Nonm k'ap simen an, se pawòl Bondye a l'ap simen.

The sower soweth the word.

Gen moun, yo sanble ak tè bò chemen kote pawòl la tonbe a. Kou yo tande l', Satan vini, li rache pawòl ki te simen nan kè yo a.

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

Konsa tou, gen lòt ki resevwa grenn yo tankou tè ki gen anpil wòch la. Lè yo fèk tande pawòl la, yo resevwa l' ak kè kontan.

And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

Men, yo pa kite l' pouse rasen nan kè yo. Yo pa kenbe l' pou lontan. Lè yo tonbe anba tèt chaje ak pèsekisyon akòz pawòl Bondye a, lamenm yo jwenn okazyon pou yo tonbe nan peche.

And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

Gen lòt moun ankò, yo resevwa grenn yo tankou nan mitan pye pikan: yo tande pawòl la,

And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

men, traka lavi, anvi gen lajan ak tout lòt anvi yo antre nan kè yo, toufe pawòl la. Kifè yo pa bay anyen menm.

And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

Pou fini, gen moun ki tankou bon tè a; yo tande pawòl la, yo resevwa l' epi yo donnen. Gen ladan yo ki bay trant pou yonn, lòt bay swasant pou yonn, lòt ankò bay san (100) pou yonn.

And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

Apre sa, li di yo ankò: -Yo pa limen yon lanp pou yo mete l' anba yon mamit osinon anba yon kabann, pa vre? Eske se pa sou yon etajè pou yo mete li?

And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

Nanpwen anyen ki kache ki p'ap devwale yon jou. Konsa tou, nanpwen sekrè ki p'ap parèt aklè yon lè.

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

Si nou gen zòrèy poun tande, tande.

If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

Li di yo toujou: -Fè atansyon sa n'ap tande la a. Mezi nou sèvi pou mezire lòt moun, se li menm Bondye va pran pou mezire nou tou, ak tout degi l' sou li.

And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

Paske, moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò. Men moun ki pa gen anyen an, y'a wete nan men l' ata ti sa l' te genyen an.

For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

Li di yo ankò: -Men ki jan sa ye nan Peyi kote Bondye Wa a. Se tankou yon nonm ki simen grenn nan jaden li.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

Apre sa, lannwit li dòmi, lajounen li leve fè zafè li. San l' pa konnen ki jan pa ki jan, grenn yo pouse, yo grandi.

And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

Tou sa, paske se tè a menm ki fè plant yo grandi pou yo donnen. Pou kòmanse yo pouse fèy, answit yo pouse flèch, apre sa grenn plen flèch la.

For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

Lè grenn yo mi se lè sa a nonm lan mete manchèt ladan l', paske sezon rekòt la rive.

But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

Li di yo ankò: -Kisa m' ta di Peyi kote Bondye Wa a sanble ankò? Ki parabòl mwen ta ban nou pou fè nou konprann sa li ye?

And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

Enben, li menm jan ak yon ti grenn moutad. Lè ou simen l', se yon ti grenn tou piti. Se li ki pi piti nan tout grenn ki sou latè.

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

Men, lè ou fin simen l', li pran grandi: li depase tout plant menm kalite avè l', li pouse gwo branch. Konsa, zwazo nan syèl la ka fè nich nan lonbraj yo.

But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

Se avèk anpil parabòl konsa li t'ap ba yo mesaj li a. Li te fè l' yon jan pou yo tout te ka konprann li.

And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

Li pa t' louvri bouch li pou l' pa t' rakonte yo yon parabòl. Men, lè l' te pou kont li avèk disip li yo, li te esplike yo tout bagay.

But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

Menm jou sa a, lè solèy fin kouche, Jezi di disip li yo: -Ann janbe lòt bò lanmè a non.

And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

Se konsa disip yo te kite foul moun yo dèyè, yo pati ansanm ak Jezi nan kannòt kote li te chita a. Te gen lòt kannòt tou ki te ale avèk yo.

And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

Yon gwo van vin leve, lanm yo kòmanse antre nan kannòt la. Yon sèl kou a, kannòt la t'ap fin plen dlo.

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

Jezi menm, lè sa a, te nan dèyè kannòt la. Li t'ap dòmi, tèt li apiye sou yon ti zòrye. Disip li yo souke l', yo di l' konsa: -Mèt, mèt, se mouri n'ap mouri wi! Sa pa di ou anyen?

And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

Jezi leve, li pale byen fò ak van an, li di: -Pe la. Li di dlo a: -Rete trankil. Latou, van an tonbe epi vin gen yon gran kalmi.

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

Apre sa, li di yo: -Men, poukisa nou pè konsa? Nou poko gen konfyans toujou?

And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

Men disip yo te pè anpil anpil, yonn t'ap di lòt konsa: -Ki moun li ye menm, pou jouk van ak dlo lanmè a obeyi li?

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
