Mark 4

1And again He began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was on the land facing the sea.

και παλιν ηρξατο διδασκειν παρα την θαλασσαν· και συνηχθη προς αυτον οχλος πολυς, ωστε αυτον εμβαντα εις το πλοιον καθησθαι εν τη θαλασση· και πας ο οχλος προς την θαλασσαν επι της γης ησαν.

2Then He taught them many things by parables, and said to them in His teaching:

και εδιδασκεν αυτους εν παραβολαις πολλα, και ελεγεν αυτοις εν τη διδαχη αυτου·

3'Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow.

ακουετε. ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι.

4And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it.

και εγενετο εν τω σπειρειν ο μεν επεσεν επι την οδον, και ηλθον τα πετεινα και κατεφαγεν αυτο·

5Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth.

και αλλο επεσεν επι το πετρωδες, οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην, και ευθεως εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθος γης,

6But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away.

ηλιου δε ανατειλαντος εκαυματισθη, και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη·

7And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop.

και αλλο επεσεν εις τας ακανθας, και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και συνεπνιξαν αυτο, και καρπον ουκ εδωκεν·

8But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.'

και αλλο επεσεν εις την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον αναβαινοντα και αυξανοντα, και εφερεν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον.

9And He said to them, 'He who has ears to hear, let him hear!'

και ελεγεν αυτοις· ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω.

10But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable.

οτε δε εγενετο κατα μονας, ηρωτησαν αυτον οι περι αυτον συν τοις δωδεκα την παραβολην.

11And He said to them, 'To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,

και ελεγεν αυτοις· υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας του θεου· εκεινοις δε τοις εξω εν παραβολαις τα παντα γινεται,

12so that 'Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.' '

ινα βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και μη ιδωσιν, και ακουοντες ακουωσιν και μη συνιωσιν, μηποτε επιστρεψωσιν και αφεθη αυτοις τα αμαρτηματα.

13And He said to them, 'Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

και λεγει αυτοις· ουκ οιδατε την παραβολην ταυτην, και πως πασας τας παραβολας γνωσεσθε;

14The sower sows the word.

ο σπειρων τον λογον σπειρει.

15And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

ουτοι δε εισιν οι παρα την οδον οπου σπειρεται ο λογος, και οταν ακουσωσιν, ευθυς ερχεται ο σατανας και αιρει τον λογον τον εσπαρμενον εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων.

16These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

και ουτοι ομοιως εισιν οι επι τα πετρωδη σπειρομενοι, οι οταν ακουσωσιν τον λογον, ευθυς μετα χαρας λαμβανουσιν αυτον,

17and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word's sake, immediately they stumble.

και ουκ εχουσιν ριζαν εν εαυτοις, αλλα προσκαιροι εισιν· ειτα γενομενης θλιψεως η διωγμου δια τον λογον, ευθυς σκανδαλιζονται.

18Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word,

και ουτοι εισιν οι εις τας ακανθας σπειρομενοι, οι τον λογον ακουοντες,

19and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

και αι μεριμναι του αιωνος τουτου και η απατη του πλουτου και αι περι τα λοιπα επιθυμιαι εισπορευομεναι συμπνιγουσιν τον λογον, και ακαρπος γινεται.

20But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.'

και ουτοι εισιν οι επι την γην την καλην σπαρεντες, οιτινες ακουουσιν τον λογον και παραδεχονται, και καρποφορουσιν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον.

21Also He said to them, 'Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand?

και ελεγεν αυτοις· μητι ερχεται ο λυχνος ινα υπο τον μοδιον τεθη η υπο την κλινην; ουχ ινα επι την λυχνιαν επιτεθη;

22For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.

ου γαρ εστιν κρυπτον ο εαν μη φανερωθη, ουδε εγενετο αποκρυφον αλλ ινα ελθη εις φανερον.

23If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.'

ει τις εχει ωτα ακουειν, ακουετω.

24Then He said to them, 'Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.

και ελεγεν αυτοις· βλεπετε τι ακουετε. εν ω μετρω μετρειτε, μετρηθησεται υμιν, και προστεθησεται υμιν τοις ακουουσιν.

25For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.'

ος γαρ αν εχη, δοθησεται αυτω· και ος ουκ εχει, και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου.

26And He said, 'The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground,

και ελεγεν· ουτως εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου, ως αν ανθρωπος βαλη τον σπορον επι της γης,

27and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how.

και καθευδη και εγειρηται νυκτα και ημεραν, και ο σπορος βλαστανη και μηκυνηται ως ουκ οιδεν αυτος.

28For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head.

αυτοματη γαρ η γη καρποφορει, πρωτον χορτον, ειτα σταχυν, ειτα πληρη σιτον εν τω σταχυι.

29But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.'

οταν δε παραδω ο καρπος, ευθεως αποστελλει το δρεπανον, οτι παρεστηκεν ο θερισμος.

30Then He said, 'To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it?

και ελεγεν· πως ομοιωσωμεν την βασιλειαν του θεου; η εν τινι παραβολη παραβαλωμεν αυτην;

31It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth;

ως κοκκον σιναπεως, ος οταν σπαρη επι της γης, μικροτερος παντων των σπερματων εστιν των επι της γης·

32but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.'

και οταν σπαρη, αναβαινει και γινεται μειζων παντων των λαχανων, και ποιει κλαδους μεγαλους, ωστε δυνασθαι υπο την σκιαν αυτου τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνουν.

33And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.

και τοιαυταις παραβολαις πολλαις ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον, καθως ηδυναντο ακουειν,

34But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.

χωρις δε παραβολης ουκ ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον· κατ ιδιαν δε τοις μαθηταις αυτου επελυεν παντα.

35On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, 'Let us cross over to the other side.'

και λεγει αυτοις εν εκεινη τη ημερα οψιας γενομενης· διελθωμεν εις το περαν.

36Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him.

και αφεντες τον οχλον παραλαμβανουσιν αυτον ως ην εν τω πλοιω· και αλλα δε πλοια ην μετ αυτου.

37And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.

και γινεται λαιλαψ ανεμου μεγαλη, τα δε κυματα επεβαλλεν εις το πλοιον, ωστε ηδη αυτο βυθιζεσθαι.

38But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, 'Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?'

και ην αυτος επι τη πρυμνη επι το προσκεφαλαιον καθευδων· και διεγειρουσιν αυτον και λεγουσιν αυτω· διδασκαλε, ου μελει σοι οτι απολλυμεθα;

39Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

και διεγερθεις επετιμησεν τω ανεμω και ειπεν τη θαλασση· σιωπα, πεφιμωσο. και εκοπασεν ο ανεμος, και εγενετο γαληνη μεγαλη.

40But He said to them, 'Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?'

και ειπεν αυτοις· τι δειλοι εστε ουτως; πως ουκ εχετε πιστιν;

41And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, 'Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!'

και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν και ελεγον προς αλληλους· τις αρα ουτος εστιν, οτι και ο ανεμος και η θαλασσα υπακουουσιν αυτω;
