Marku 4

¹ Wayesebuye waqala ukufundisa ngaselwandle; kwabuthana kuye isixuku esikhulu, waze wangena emkhunjini, wahlala olwandle; isixuku sonke sasiphezu kolwandle emhlabathini.

² Wabafundisa izinto eziningi ngemifanekiso, wakhuluma kubo ekufundiseni kwakhe.

³ Lalelani; Bheka, kwaphuma umhlwanyeli ukuyohlwanyela;

⁴ Kwathi ekuhlanyeleni kwakhe, enye yawela ngasendleleni, kweza izinyoni zezulu, zayidla zayiqeda.

⁵ Enye yawela edwaleni, lapho eyayingenamhlabathi omningi khona; yasihluma masinyane, ngoba yayingelakutshona komhlabathi;

⁶ Kodwa seliphumile ilanga, lahangulwa; futhi ngenxa yokuthi yayingenampande, yabuna.

⁷ Enye yawela phakathi kwameva, ameva akhula ayiminyanisa, kodwa ayizange ithele.

⁸ Enye yawela emhlabathini omuhle, yathela isithelo, yakhula, yanda; yazala, enye ngamashumi amathathu, enye ngamashumi ayisithupha, enye ikhulu.

⁹ Wasesithi kubo: Onezindlebe zokuzwa makezwe.

¹⁰ Eseyedwa, ababemphahlile kanye nabayishumi nambili bambuza ngomfanekiso.

¹¹ Wathi kubo: “Nina niphiwe ukwazi imfihlakalo yombuso kaNkulunkulu;

¹² ukuze bebona babone, bangaboni; nokuzwa, bezwe, bangaqondi; funa noma nini baphenduke, bathethelelwe izono zabo.

¹³ Wasesithi kubo: Kaliwazi yini lumfanekiso? Pho niyakuyazi kanjani imifanekiso yonke na?

¹⁴ Umhlanyeli uhlanyela ilizwi.

¹⁵ Laba ngasendleleni, lapho okuhlanyelwe khona ilizwi; kodwa nxa sebezwile, uSathane uyafika masinyane, alisuse izwi elihlwanyelwe ezinhliziyweni zabo.

¹⁶ Kanjalo laba ngabahlwanyelwe edwaleni; abathi sebelizwile ilizwi, balamukele masinyane ngokuthokoza;

¹⁷ njalo kabanampande phakathi kwabo, bahlala okwesikhathi; kuthi sekuvele ukuhlupheka kumbe ukuzingelwa ngenxa yelizwi, bahle bakhubeke.

¹⁸ Laba yilabo abahlanyelwe emeveni; abalizwayo izwi,

¹⁹ Kepha iminako yaleli zwe, nokukhohlisa kwengcebo, nezinkanuko zezinye izinto, kungena kuminyanise izwi, lingatheli.

²⁰ Laba yilabo abahlwanyelwe emhlabathini omuhle; abalizwayo izwi, balamukele, bathele isithelo, omunye ngamashumi amathathu, omunye ngamashumi ayisithupha, omunye ngekhulu.

²¹ Wathi kubo: “Isibani siyalethwa ukuba sibekwe phansi kwesitsha noma ngaphansi kombhede na? futhi hhayi ukuthi ibekwe othini lwesibani?

²² Ngokuba akukho okufihliweyo okungayikubonakaliswa; futhi akukho okufihliwe, ngaphandle kokuthi kuvele obala.

²³ Uma ekhona onezindlebe zokuzwa, makezwe.

²⁴ Wathi kubo: “Kuqapheleni enikuzwayo;

²⁵ Ngokuba onakho uyakuphiwa, kepha ongenakho uyakwamukwa nalokho anakho.

²⁶ Wathi: “Umbuso kaNkulunkulu unjengoba umuntu ephonsa inhlanyelo emhlabathini;

²⁷ Alale, avuke ubusuku nemini, imbewu ihlume, ikhule, yena engazi ukuthi kanjani.

²⁸ Ngokuba umhlabathi uthela isithelo ngokwawo; kuqala ikhaba, kulandele isikhwebu, bese kuba amabele agcwele esikhwebu;

²⁹ Kodwa nxa isithelo sesivuthiwe, alifake masinyane isikela, ngoba ukuvuna sekufikile.

³⁰ Wasesithi: Sizawufanisa lani umbuso kaNkulunkulu? kumbe singakufanisa ngamuphi umfanekiso?

³¹ Kunjengohlamvu lwesinaphi, okuthi, nxa luhlwanyelwa emhlabathini, lube luncane kuzo zonke izimbewu ezisemhlabeni;

³² Kepha nxa selihlwanyelwe, liyakhula, libe likhulu kunemibhida yonke, kwenze amagatsha amakhulu; ukuze izinyoni zezulu zihlale emthunzini wawo.

³³ Walikhuluma izwi kubo ngemifanekiso eminingi enjalo, njengokuzwa kwabo.

³⁴ Kepha akakhulumanga kubo ngaphandle komfanekiso; kepha sebebodwa wabachazela abafundi bakhe zonke izinto.

³⁵ Ngalolo suku sekuhlwile, wathi kubo: “Asiwele siye ngaphesheya.

³⁶ Sebemukisile isixuku, bamthatha esemkhunjini. Kwakukhona neminye imikhumbi emincane kanye naye.

³⁷ Kwavuka isivunguvungu esikhulu somoya, amaza ashaya umkhumbi, waze wasugcwele.

³⁸ Yena wayengemuva emkhunjini elele emqamelweni; bamvusa, bathi kuye: “Mfundisi, awukhathali ukuthi siyabhubha na?

³⁹ Wasevuka, wawukhuza umoya, wathi kulo ulwandle: Thula, uthi cwaka. Umoya wanqamuka, kwaba khona ukuthula okukhulu.

⁴⁰ Wathi kubo: “Nesabani kangaka na? Kanjani ukuba ningabi nalukholo?

⁴¹ Basesaba ngokwesaba okukhulu, bathi omunye komunye: “Ubani lo, ukuthi nomoya nolwandle kumlalele?
