Mark 4
1 वह फिर झील के किनारे उपदेश देने लगा: और ऐसी बड़ी भीड़ उसके पास इकट्ठी हो गई, कि वह झील में एक नाव पर चढ़कर बैठ गया और सारी भीड़ भूमि पर झील के किनारे खड़ी रही।
2 और वह उन्हें दृष्टान्तों में बहुत सी बातें सिखाने लगो, और अपने उपदेश में उन से कहा।
3 सुनो: देखो, एक बोनेवाला, बीज बाने के लिये निकला!
4 और बोते समय कुछ तो मार्ग के किनारे गिरा और पक्षियों ने आकर उसे चुग लिया।
5 और कुछ पत्थरीली भूमि पर गिरा जहां उस को बहुत मिट्टी न मिली, और गहरी मिट्टी न मिलने के कारण जल्द उग आया।
6 और जब सूर्य निकला, तो जल गया, और जड़ न पकड़ने के कारण सूख गया।
7 और कुछ तो झाड़ियों में गिरा, और झाड़ियों ने बढ़कर उसे दबा लिया, और वह फल न लाया।
8 परन्तु कुछ अच्छी भूमि पर गिरा; और वह उगा, और बढ़कर फलवन्त हुआ; और कोई तीस गुणा, कोई साठ गुणा और कोई सौ गुणा फल लाया।
9 और उस ने कहा; जिस के पास सुनने के लिये कान हों वह सुन ले॥
10 जब वह अकेला रह गया, तो उसके साथियों ने उन बारह समेत उस से इन दृष्टान्तों के विषय में पूछा।
11 उस ने उन से कहा, तुम को तो परमेश्वर के राज्य के भेद की समझ दी गई है, परन्तु बाहर वालों के लिये सब बातें दृष्टान्तों में होती हैं।
12 इसलिये कि वे देखते हुए देखें और उन्हें सुझाई न पड़े और सुनते हुए सुनें भी और न समझें; ऐसा न हो कि वे फिरें, और क्षमा किए जाएं।
13 फिर उस ने उन से कहा; क्या तुम यह दृष्टान्त नहीं समझते? तो फिर और सब दृष्टान्तों को क्योंकर समझोगे?
14 बोने वाला वचन बोता है।
15 जो मार्ग के किनारे के हैं जहां वचन बोया जाता है, ये वे हैं, कि जब उन्होंने सुना, तो शैतान तुरन्त आकर वचन को जो उन में बोया गया था, उठा ले जाता है।
16 और वैसे ही जो पत्थरीली भूमि पर बोए जाते हैं, ये वे हैं, कि जो वचन को सुनकर तुरन्त आनन्द से ग्रहण कर लेते हैं।
17 परन्तु अपने भीतर जड़ न रखने के कारण वे थोड़े ही दिनों के लिये रहते हैं; इस के बाद जब वचन के कारण उन पर क्लेश या उपद्रव होता है, तो वे तुरन्त ठोकर खाते हैं।
18 और जो झाडियों में बोए गए ये वे हैं जिन्होंने वचन सुना।
19 और संसार की चिन्ता, और धन का धोखा, और और वस्तुओं का लोभ उन में समाकर वचन को दबा देता है। और वह निष्फल रह जाता है।
20 और जो अच्छी भूमि में बोए गए, ये वे हैं, जो वचन सुनकर ग्रहण करते और फल लाते हैं, कोई तीस गुणा, कोई साठ गुणा, और कोई सौ गुणा॥
21 और उस ने उन से कहा; क्या दिये को इसलिये लाते हैं कि पैमाने या खाट के नीचे रखा जाए? क्या इसलिये नहीं, कि दीवट पर रखा जाए?
22 क्योंकि कोई वस्तु छिपी नहीं, परन्तु इसलिये कि प्रगट हो जाए;
23 और न कुछ गुप्त है पर इसलिये कि प्रगट हो जाए। यदि किसी के सुनने के कान हों, तो सुन ले।
24 फिर उस ने उन से कहा; चौकस रहो, कि क्या सुनते हो? जिस नाप से तुम नापते हो उसी से तुम्हारे लिये भी नापा जाएगा, और तुम को अधिक दिया जाएगा।
25 क्योंकि जिस के पास है, उस को दिया जाएगा; परन्तु जिस के पास नहीं है उस से वह भी जो उसके पास है; ले लिया जाएगा॥
26 फिर उस ने कहा; परमेश्वर का राज्य ऐसा है, जैसे कोई मनुष्य भूमि पर बीज छींटे।
27 और रात को सोए, और दिन को जागे और वह बीज ऐसे उगे और बढ़े कि वह न जाने।
28 पृथ्वी आप से आप फल लाती है पहिले अंकुर, तब बाल, और तब बालों में तैयार दाना।
29 परन्तु जब दाना पक जाता है, तब वह तुरन्त हंसिया लगाता है, क्योंकि कटनी आ पहुंची है॥
30 फिर उस ने कहा, हम परमेश्वर के राज्य की उपमा किस से दें, और किस दृष्टान्त से उसका वर्णन करें?
31 वह राई के दाने के समान है; कि जब भूमि में बोया जाता है तो भूमि के सब बीजों से छोटा होता है।
32 परन्तु जब बोया गया, तो उगकर सब साग पात से बड़ा हो जाता है, और उसकी ऐसी बड़ी डालियां निकलती हैं, कि आकाश के पक्षी उसकी छाया में बसेरा कर सकते हैं॥
33 और वह उन्हें इस प्रकार के बहुत से दृष्टान्त दे देकर उन की समझ के अनुसार वचन सुनाता था।
34 और बिना दृष्टान्त कहे उन से कुछ भी नहीं कहता था; परन्तु एकान्त में वह अपने निज चेलों को सब बातों का अर्थ बताता था॥
35 उसी दिन जब सांझ हुई, तो उस ने उन से कहा; आओ, हम पार चलें,।
36 और वे भीड़ को छोड़कर जैसा वह था, वैसा ही उसे नाव पर साथ ले चले; और उसके साथ, और भी नावें थीं।
37 तब बड़ी आन्धी आई, और लहरें नाव पर यहां तक लगीं, कि वह अब पानी से भरी जाती थी।
38 और वह आप पिछले भाग में गद्दी पर सो रहा था; तब उन्होंने उसे जगाकर उस से कहा; हे गुरू, क्या तुझे चिन्ता नहीं, कि हम नाश हुए जाते हैं?
39 तब उस ने उठकर आन्धी को डांटा, और पानी से कहा; “शान्त रह, थम जा”: और आन्धी थम गई और बड़ा चैन हो गया।
40 और उन से कहा; तुम क्यों डरते हो? क्या तुम्हें अब तक विश्वास नहीं?
41 और वे बहुत ही डर गए और आपस में बोले; यह कौन है, कि आन्धी और पानी भी उस की आज्ञा मानते हैं?
1 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.
2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4 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.
5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 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.
9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
11 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:
12 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.
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
14 The sower soweth the word.
15 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.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17 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.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19 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.
20 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.
21 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?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 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.
25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31 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:
32 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.
33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 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.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 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?
39 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.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
1 Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
2 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
6 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
8 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
10 And he said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.
11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.
12 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the Lord liveth: lie down until the morning.
14 And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
15 Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.
16 And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
17 And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
