Marcos 4

And again he began to teach beside the sea, and a very large crowd was gathered to him, so that he got into a boat and sat on the sea, and the whole crowd was at the sea on the land.

Y OTRA vez comenzó á enseñar junto á la mar, y se juntó á él mucha gente; tanto, que entrándose él en un barco, se sentó en la mar: y toda la gente estaba en tierra junto á la mar.

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.

Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.

And he began to teach them many things in parables, and was saying to them in his teaching,

Y les enseñaba por parábolas muchas cosas, y les decía en su doctrina:

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

He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,

“Listen! Behold, the sower went out to sow.

Oid: He aquí, el sembrador salió á sembrar.

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

“Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.

And it happened that while he was sowing, ⌞some seed⌟ fell on the side of the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

Y aconteció sembrando, que una parte cayó junto al camino; y vinieron las aves del cielo, y la tragaron.

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.

As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.

And other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up at once, because it did not have any depth of soil.

Y otra parte cayó en pedregales, donde no tenía mucha tierra; y luego salió, porque no tenía la tierra profunda:

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

Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

And when the sun rose it was scorched, and because it did not have enough root, it withered.

Mas salido el sol, se quemó; y por cuanto no tenía raíz, se secó.

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

When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

And other seed fell among the thorn plants, and the thorn plants came up and choked it, and it did not produce grain.

Y otra parte cayó en espinas; y subieron las espinas, y la ahogaron, y no dió fruto.

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

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

And other seed fell on the good soil, and produced grain, coming up and increasing, and it bore a crop—one thirty and one sixty and one a hundred times as much.

Y otra parte cayó en buena tierra, y dió fruto, que subió y creció: y llevó uno á treinta, y otro á sesenta, y otro á ciento.

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.

Others fell into the good ground and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”

And he said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Entonces les dijo: El que tiene oídos para oir, oiga.

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

He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”

And when he was alone, those around him together with the twelve began asking him about the parables.

Y cuando estuvo solo, le preguntaron los que estaban cerca de él con los doce, sobre la parábola.

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

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

And he said to them, “To you has been granted the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside everything is in parables,

Y les dijo: A vosotros es dado saber el misterio del reino de Dios; mas á los que están fuera, por parábolas todas las cosas;

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:

He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,

so that ‘⌞they may look closely⌟ and not perceive, and ⌞they may listen carefully⌟ and not understand, lest they turn and it be forgiven them.’ ”

Para que viendo, vean y no echen de ver; y oyendo, oigan y no entiendan: porque no se conviertan, y les sean perdonados los pecados.

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.

that ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”

And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all the parables?

Y les dijo: ¿No sabéis esta parábola? ¿Cómo, pues, entenderéis todas las parábolas?

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

He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

The sower sows the word.

El que siembra es el que siembra la palabra.

The sower soweth the word.

The farmer sows the word.

And these are the ones beside the path where the word is sown, and whenever they hear it, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

Y éstos son los de junto al camino: en los que la palabra es sembrada: mas después que la oyeron, luego viene Satanás, y quita la palabra que fué sembrada en sus corazones.

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.

The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

And these are like the ones sown on the rocky ground, who whenever they hear the word immediately receive it with joy.

Y asimismo éstos son los que son sembrados en pedregales: los que cuando han oído la palabra, luego la toman con gozo;

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

These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.

And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary. Then when affliction or persecution comes because of the word, immediately they fall away.

Mas no tienen raíz en sí, antes son temporales, que en levantándose la tribulación ó la persecución por causa de la palabra, luego se escandalizan.

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.

They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

And others are the ones sown among the thorn plants—these are the ones who hear the word,

Y éstos son los que son sembrados entre espinas: los que oyen la palabra;

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

Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

and the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word and it becomes unproductive.

Mas los cuidados de este siglo, y el engaño de las riquezas, y las codicias que hay en las otras cosas, entrando, ahogan la palabra, y se hace infructuosa.

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.

and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

And those are the ones sown on the good soil, who hear the word and receive it and bear fruit—one thirty and one sixty and one a hundred times as much.”

Y éstos son los que fueron sembrados en buena tierra: los que oyen la palabra, y la reciben, y hacen fruto, uno á treinta, otro á sesenta, y otro á ciento.

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.

Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”

And he said to them, “Surely a lamp is not brought so that it may be put under a bushel basket or under a bed, is it? Is it not so that it may be put on a lampstand?

También les dijo: ¿Tráese la antorcha para ser puesta debajo del almud, ó debajo de la cama? ¿No es para ser puesta en el candelero?

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?

He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand?

For nothing is secret except so that it may be revealed, nor has become hidden except so that it will come to light.

Porque no hay nada oculto que no haya de ser manifestado, ni secreto que no haya de descubrirse.

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

For there is nothing hidden except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light.

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Si alguno tiene oídos para oir, oiga.

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

If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”

And he said to them, “Take care what you hear! With the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you, and will be added to you.

Les dijo también: Mirad lo que oís: con la medida que medís, os medirán otros, y será añadido á vosotros los que oís.

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.

He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you who hear.

For whoever has, more will be given to him, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

Porque al que tiene, le será dado; y al que no tiene, aun lo que tiene le será quitado.

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

For whoever has, to him more will be given; and he who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”

And he said, “The kingdom of God is like this: like a man scatters seed on the ground.

Decía más: Así es el reino de Dios, como si un hombre echa simiente en la tierra;

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

He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,

And he sleeps and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows—⌞he does not know how⌟.

Y duerme, y se levanta de noche y de día, y la simiente brota y crece como él no sabe.

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

and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.

By itself the soil produces a crop: first the grass, then the head of grain, then the full grain in the head.

Porque de suyo fructifica la tierra, primero hierba, luego espiga, después grano lleno en la espiga;

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

For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

But when the crop permits, he sends in the sickle right away, because the harvest has come.”

Y cuando el fruto fuere producido, luego se mete la hoz, porque la siega es llegada.

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

But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or by what parable can we present it?

Y decía: ¿A qué haremos semejante el reino de Dios? ¿ó con qué parábola le compararemos?

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

He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?

It is like a mustard seed that when sown on the ground, although it is the smallest of all the seeds that are on the ground,

Es como el grano de mostaza, que, cuando se siembra en tierra, es la más pequeña de todas las simientes que hay en la tierra;

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:

It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,

but when it is sown it grows up and becomes the largest of all the garden herbs, and sends out large branches so that the birds of the sky are able to nest in its shade.”

Mas después de sembrado, sube, y se hace la mayor de todas las legumbres, y echa grandes ramas, de tal manera que las aves del cielo puedan morar bajo su sombra.

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.

yet when it is sown, grows up and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”

And with many parables such as these he was speaking the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

Y con muchas tales parábolas les hablaba la palabra, conforme á lo que podían oir.

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

With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

And he did not speak to them without a parable, but in private he explained everything to his own disciples.

Y sin parábola no les hablaba; mas á sus discípulos en particular declaraba todo.

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

Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

And on that day, when it was evening, he said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.”

Y les dijo aquel día cuando fué tarde: Pasemos de la otra parte.

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

On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”

And leaving the crowd, they took him along, as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.

Y despachando la multitud, le tomaron como estaba, en el barco; y había también con él otros barquitos.

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.

Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.

And a great storm of wind developed, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already being filled with water.

Y se levantó una grande tempestad de viento, y echaba las olas en el barco, de tal manera que ya se henchía.

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

A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.

And he was in the stern sleeping on the cushion, and they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, is it not a concern to you that we are perishing?”

Y él estaba en la popa, durmiendo sobre un cabezal, y le despertaron, y le dicen: ¿Maestro, no tienes cuidado que perecemos?

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?

He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?”

And he woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Be quiet! Be silent!” And the wind abated and there was a great calm.

Y levantándose, increpó al viento, y dijo á la mar: Calla, enmudece. Y cesó el viento, y fué hecha grande bonanza.

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.

He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.

And he said to them, “Why are you fearful? Do you not yet have faith?”

Y á ellos dijo: ¿Por qué estáis así amedrentados? ¿Cómo no tenéis fe?

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

He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”

And ⌞they were terribly frightened⌟ and began to say to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

Y temieron con gran temor, y decían el uno al otro. ¿Quién es éste, que aun el viento y la mar le obedecen?

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

They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
