MARKOS 4

Parabola-hitzaldia (4,1-34)

Ereilearen parabola

(Mt 13,1-9; Lk 8,4-8)

1 Beste batean, irakasten hasi zen Jesus aintzira-ertzean. Eta hainbeste jende bildu baitzitzaion ondora, uretan zegoen txalupa batera igo eta bertan eseri zen. Jende-taldea, berriz, lehorrean zegoen, aintzira ondoan.t 2 Eta parabola bidez hitz eginez, irakaspen asko eman zien. Honela ari zitzaien bere irakastaldian:t 3 «Entzun! Atera zen behin batean ereilea hazia ereitera. 4 Ereitean, zenbait ale bide-bazterrean erori zen; eta txoriek etorri eta jan egin zuten. 5 Beste zenbait harri artean erori zen, lur handirik ez zen tokian; eta, axaleko lurra izanik, berehala erne zen; 6 baina eguzkiak jo orduko, erre egin zen eta, sustrairik ez zuelako, ihartu. 7 Beste zenbait ale sasi artean erori zen: sasiek, haztean, ito egin zuten hazia eta ez zuen fruiturik eman.

8 Gainerakoak lur onean erori ziren; erne, hazi eta fruitua eman zuten: bateko hogeita hamar edo hirurogei edo ehun».

9 Eta ohar hau egin zien Jesusek: «Ulertzeko gauza denak uler beza».t

Zergatik mintzo den Jesus parabola bidez

(Mt 13,10-17; Lk 8,9-10)

11 Eta hark esan zien:
—Zuei eman zaizue Jainkoaren erregetzaren misterioa ezagutzea; kanpokoei, ordea, dena parabola bidez ematen zaie.t

12 Zeren eta, Liburu Santuak dioen bezala,
ikusten dute, bai, baina ohartzen ez;
entzuten dute, bai, baina ulertzen ez;
horrela,
ez dira Jaunarengana bihurtzen
eta ez zaie barkatzen t. t

Jesusek ereilearen parabola argitu

(Mt 13,18-23; Lk 8,11-15)

20 Eta hona nor diren “lur ona” bezalakoak: mezua entzun, onartu eta fruitua ematen dutenak: bateko hogeita hamar edo hirurogei edo ehun».

Mezua entzun eta onartu beharra

(Mt 5,15; 10,26; 7,2; Lk 8,16-18; 11,33; 6,38)

23 Inork ulertu ahal badu, uler beza».t
24 Esan zien ere: «Kontu izan nola entzuten duzuen! Zuek zein neurritan entzun, neurri berean emango dizue Jainkoak, eta gehiago ere bait.

25 Izan ere, duenari eman egingo zaio; ez duenari, ordea, daukan apurra ere kendu egingo».t

Berez hazten den haziaren parabola

29 Eta garia heltzean, igitaiaz ekiten zaio, uztaroa da eta».t

Mostaza-haziaren parabola

(Mt 13,31-32; Lk 13,18-19)

32 erein eta gero, ordea, gora egiten du eta beste barazki guztiak baino handiagoa egiten; eta txoriek habia egiten dute haren itzalpean, hainbestekoak baitira ematen dituen adarrak».t

Parabolei buruz konklusioa

(Mt 13,34-35)

34 Ez zien ezer irakasten parabola bidez izan ezik; baina bere ikasleei, bakarrean, guztien esanahia adierazten zien.

Hiru mirari ikasleen aurrean (4,35—6,6a)

Jesusek ekaitza baretu

(Mt 8,23-27; Lk 8,22-25)

35 Egun berean, ilunabarrez, Jesusek bere ikasleei esan zien: «Goazen aintziraz beste aldera».
36 Jende-taldea utzirik, zegoen txalupan bertan eraman zuten Jesus, beste zenbait ontzi ere harekin batera bazen arren. 37 Hortan, haize-bolada zakarra atera zuen, eta uhinek txalupa jotzen zuten, ia urez betetzeraino.

38 Jesus, berriz, txopan lo, buruko baten gainean. Esnarazi eta esan zioten:
—Maisu, ez al dizu axola gu galtzeak?

39 Hark, esnaturik, haserre egin zion haizeari, eta aintzirari esan:
—Hago isilik! Geldi!
Gelditu zen haizea eta barealdi handia egin zen.

40 Jesusek esan zien:
—Zergatik beldur hori? Nolatan duzue oraindik hain sinesmen gutxi?
41 Beldur-ikaraz gelditu ziren, elkarri esanez: «Nor ote dugu hau, esana egiten baitiote haizeak eta aintzirak ere?»t

Mark 4

The Parable of the Sower

1 Again he began to teach by the lake. Such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat on the lake and sat there whilet the whole crowd was on the shore by the lake.2 He taught them many things in parables,s and in his teaching said to them:3 “Listen! A sower went out to sow.s4 And as he sowed, some seedt fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.5 Other seed fell on rocky grounds where it did not have much soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep.t6 When the sun came up it was scorched, and because it did not have sufficient root,t it withered.7 Other seed fell among the thorns,s and they grew up and choked it,s and it did not produce grain.8 Butt other seed fell on good soil and produced grain, sprouting and growing; some yielded thirty times as much, some sixty, and some a hundred times.”

9 And he said, “Whoever has ears to hear had better listen!”t

The Purpose of Parables

10 When he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

11 He said to them, “The secretts of the kingdom of God has been givent to you. But to those outside, everything is in parables,

12 so that although they look they may look but not see,
and although they hear they may hear but not understand,
so they may not repent and be forgiven.”s
13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? Thent how will you understand any parable?14 The sower sows the word.15 These are the ones on the path where the word is sown: Whenever they hear, immediately Satans comes and snatches the words that was sown in them.16 These are the ones sown on rocky ground: As soon as they hear the word, they receive it with joy.17 Butt they have no root in themselves and do not endure.t Then, when trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately they fall away.18 Others are the ones sown among thorns: They are those who hear the word,19 butt worldly cares, the seductiveness of wealth,t and the desire for other things come in and choke the word,s and it produces nothing.

20 Butt these are the ones sown on good soil: They hear the word and receive it and bear fruit, one thirty times as much, one sixty, and one a hundred.”

The Parable of the Lamp

21 He also said to them, “A lamps isn’t brought to be put under a baskett or under a bed, is it? Isn’t it to be placed on a lampstand?22 For nothing is hidden except to be revealed,t and nothing concealed except to be brought to light.23 If anyone has ears to hear, he had better listen!”t24 And he said to them, “Take care about what you hear. The measure you use will be the measure you receive,t and more will be added to you.

25 For whoever has will be given more, butt whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.”s

The Parable of the Growing Seed

26 He also said, “The kingdom of God is like someone who spreads seed on the ground.27 He goes to sleep and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.28 By itself the soil produces a crop, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head.

29 And when the grain is ripe, he sends in the sicklet because the harvest has come.”s

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

30 He also asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to present it?31 It is like a mustard seeds that when sown in the ground, even though it is the smallest of all the seeds in the ground –

32 when it is sown, it grows up,t becomes the greatest of all garden plants, and grows large branches so that the wild birdst can nest in its shade.”s

The Use of Parables

33 Sot with many parables like these, he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.

34 He did not speak to them without a parable. But privately he explained everything to his own disciples.

Stilling of a Storm

35 On that day, when evening came, Jesust said to his disciples, “Let’s go across to the other side of the lake.”t36 Sot after leaving the crowd, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat,ts and other boats were with him.37 Nowt a great windstormts developed and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was nearly swamped.38 Butt he was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. They woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?”39 Sot he got up and rebukedt the wind, and said to the sea,s “Be quiet! Calm down!” Thent the wind stopped, and it was dead calm.40 And he said to them, “Why are you cowardly? Do you still not have faith?”

41 They were overwhelmed by fear and said to one another, “Who then is this?s Even the wind and sea obey him!”s
