مَتَّى 13

١ 1 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ،

The same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea side.

٢ 2 فَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ جُمُوعٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ دَخَلَ ٱلسَّفِينَةَ وَجَلَسَ. وَٱلْجَمْعُ كُلُّهُ وَقَفَ عَلَى ٱلشَّاطِئِ.

And great multitudes were gathered unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore.

٣ 3 فَكَلَّمَهُمْ كَثِيرًا بِأَمْثَالٍ قَائِلًا: «هُوَذَا ٱلزَّارِعُ قَدْ خَرَجَ لِيَزْرَعَ،

And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow.

٤ 4 وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَزْرَعُ سَقَطَ بَعْضٌ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ، فَجَاءَتِ ٱلطُّيُورُ وَأَكَلَتْهُ.

And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up.

٥ 5 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ عَلَى ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ ٱلْمُحْجِرَةِ، حَيْثُ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ تُرْبَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، فَنَبَتَ حَالًا إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عُمْقُ أَرْضٍ.

And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.

٦ 6 وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا أَشْرَقَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ ٱحْتَرَقَ، وَإِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَصْلٌ جَفَّ.

And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.

٧ 7 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ عَلَى ٱلشَّوْكِ، فَطَلَعَ ٱلشَّوْكُ وَخَنَقَهُ.

And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them.

٨ 8 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجَيِّدَةِ فَأَعْطَى ثَمَرًا، بَعْضٌ مِئَةً وَآخَرُ سِتِّينَ وَآخَرُ ثَلَاثِينَ.

And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.

٩ 9 مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ».

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

١٠ 10 فَتَقَدَّمَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لِمَاذَا تُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِأَمْثَالٍ؟».

And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables?

١١ 11 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَسْرَارَ مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَأَمَّا لِأُولَئِكَ فَلَمْ يُعْطَ.

Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given.

١٢ 12 فَإِنَّ مَنْ لَهُ سَيُعْطَى وَيُزَادُ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ فَٱلَّذِي عِنْدَهُ سَيُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ.

For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath.

١٣ 13 مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا أُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِأَمْثَالٍ، لِأَنَّهُمْ مُبْصِرِينَ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ، وَسَامِعِينَ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ.

Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

١٤ 14 فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ فِيهِمْ نُبُوَّةُ إِشَعْيَاءَ ٱلْقَائِلَةُ: تَسْمَعُونَ سَمْعًا وَلَا تَفْهَمُونَ، وَمُبْصِرِينَ تُبْصِرُونَ وَلَا تَنْظُرُونَ.

And the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّ قَلْبَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ قَدْ غَلُظَ، وَآذَانَهُمْ قَدْ ثَقُلَ سَمَاعُهَا. وَغَمَّضُوا عُيُونَهُمْ، لِئَلَّا يُبْصِرُوا بِعُيُونِهِمْ، وَيَسْمَعُوا بِآذَانِهِمْ، وَيَفْهَمُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ، وَيَرْجِعُوا فَأَشْفِيَهُمْ.

For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

١٦ 16 وَلَكِنْ طُوبَى لِعُيُونِكُمْ لِأَنَّهَا تُبْصِرُ، وَلِآذَانِكُمْ لِأَنَّهَا تَسْمَعُ.

But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.

١٧ 17 فَإِنِّي ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ أَنْبِيَاءَ وَأَبْرَارًا كَثِيرِينَ ٱشْتَهَوْا أَنْ يَرَوْا مَا أَنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَ وَلَمْ يَرَوْا، وَأَنْ يَسْمَعُوا مَا أَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا.

For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them.

١٨ 18 «فَٱسْمَعُوا أَنْتُمْ مَثَلَ ٱلزَّارِعِ:

Hear you therefore the parable of the sower.

١٩ 19 كُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ كَلِمَةَ ٱلْمَلَكُوتِ وَلَا يَفْهَمُ، فَيَأْتِي ٱلشِّرِّيرُ وَيَخْطَفُ مَا قَدْ زُرِعَ فِي قَلْبِهِ. هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَزْرُوعُ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ.

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side.

٢٠ 20 وَٱلْمَزْرُوعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ ٱلْمُحْجِرَةِ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ، وَحَالًا يَقْبَلُهَا بِفَرَحٍ،

And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy.

٢١ 21 وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَصْلٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ، بَلْ هُوَ إِلَى حِينٍ. فَإِذَا حَدَثَ ضِيقٌ أَوِ ٱضْطِهَادٌ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ فَحَالًا يَعْثُرُ.

Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized.

٢٢ 22 وَٱلْمَزْرُوعُ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّوْكِ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ، وَهَمُّ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ وَغُرُورُ ٱلْغِنَى يَخْنُقَانِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ فَيَصِيرُ بِلَا ثَمَرٍ. (aiōn g165)

And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless. (aiōn g165)

٢٣ 23 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَزْرُوعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجَيِّدَةِ فَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ وَيَفْهَمُ. وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي بِثَمَرٍ، فَيَصْنَعُ بَعْضٌ مِئَةً وَآخَرُ سِتِّينَ وَآخَرُ ثَلَاثِينَ».

But he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundredfold, and another sixty, and another thirty.

٢٤ 24 قَدَّمَ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا آخَرَ قَائِلًا: «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ إِنْسَانًا زَرَعَ زَرْعًا جَيِّدًا فِي حَقْلِهِ.

Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seeds in his field.

٢٥ 25 وَفِيمَا ٱلنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ جَاءَ عَدُوُّهُ وَزَرَعَ زَوَانًا فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ وَمَضَى.

But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way.

٢٦ 26 فَلَمَّا طَلَعَ ٱلنَّبَاتُ وَصَنَعَ ثَمَرًا، حِينَئِذٍ ظَهَرَ ٱلزَّوَانُ أَيْضًا.

And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle.

٢٧ 27 فَجَاءَ عَبِيدُ رَبِّ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: يَا سَيِّدُ، أَلَيْسَ زَرْعًا جَيِّدًا زَرَعْتَ فِي حَقْلِكَ؟ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ لَهُ زَوَانٌ؟.

And the servants of the goodman of the house coming said to him: Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle?

٢٨ 28 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: إِنْسَانٌ عَدُوٌّ فَعَلَ هَذَا. فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْعَبِيدُ: أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ نَذْهَبَ وَنَجْمَعَهُ؟

And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?

٢٩ 29 فَقَالَ: لَا! لِئَلَّا تَقْلَعُوا ٱلْحِنْطَةَ مَعَ ٱلزَّوَانِ وَأَنْتُمْ تَجْمَعُونَهُ.

And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it.

٣٠ 30 دَعُوهُمَا يَنْمِيَانِ كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا إِلَى ٱلْحَصَادِ، وَفِي وَقْتِ ٱلْحَصَادِ أَقُولُ لِلْحَصَّادِينَ: ٱجْمَعُوا أَوَّلًا ٱلزَّوَانَ وَٱحْزِمُوهُ حُزَمًا لِيُحْرَقَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْحِنْطَةَ فَٱجْمَعُوهَا إِلَى مَخْزَنِي».

Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.

٣١ 31 قَدَّمَ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا آخَرَ قَائِلًا: «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ حَبَّةَ خَرْدَلٍ أَخَذَهَا إِنْسَانٌ وَزَرَعَهَا فِي حَقْلِهِ،

Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.

٣٢ 32 وَهِيَ أَصْغَرُ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبُزُورِ. وَلَكِنْ مَتَى نَمَتْ فَهِيَ أَكْبَرُ ٱلْبُقُولِ، وَتَصِيرُ شَجَرَةً، حَتَّى إِنَّ طُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَأْتِي وَتَتَآوَى فِي أَغْصَانِهَا».

Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof.

٣٣ 33 قَالَ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا آخَرَ: «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ خَمِيرَةً أَخَذَتْهَا ٱمْرَأَةٌ وَخَبَّأَتْهَا فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَكْيَالِ دَقِيقٍ حَتَّى ٱخْتَمَرَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ».

Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.

٣٤ 34 هَذَا كُلُّهُ كَلَّمَ بِهِ يَسُوعُ ٱلْجُمُوعَ بِأَمْثَالٍ، وَبِدُونِ مَثَلٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ،

All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them.

٣٥ 35 لِكَيْ يَتِمَّ مَا قِيلَ بِٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلْقَائِلِ: «سَأَفْتَحُ بِأَمْثَالٍ فَمِي، وَأَنْطِقُ بِمَكْتُومَاتٍ مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ ٱلْعَالَمِ».

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.

٣٦ 36 حِينَئِذٍ صَرَفَ يَسُوعُ ٱلْجُمُوعَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ. فَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ تَلَامِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «فَسِّرْ لَنَا مَثَلَ زَوَانِ ٱلْحَقْلِ».

Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.

٣٧ 37 فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اَلزَّارِعُ ٱلزَّرْعَ ٱلْجَيِّدَ هُوَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.

Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of man.

٣٨ 38 وَٱلْحَقْلُ هُوَ ٱلْعَالَمُ. وَٱلزَّرْعُ ٱلْجَيِّدُ هُوَ بَنُو ٱلْمَلَكُوتِ. وَٱلزَّوَانُ هُوَ بَنُو ٱلشِّرِّيرِ.

And the field, is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the children of the wicked one.

٣٩ 39 وَٱلْعَدُوُّ ٱلَّذِي زَرَعَهُ هُوَ إِبْلِيسُ. وَٱلْحَصَادُ هُوَ ٱنْقِضَاءُ ٱلْعَالَمِ. وَٱلْحَصَّادُونَ هُمُ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةُ. (aiōn g165)

And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)

٤٠ 40 فَكَمَا يُجْمَعُ ٱلزَّوَانُ وَيُحْرَقُ بِٱلنَّارِ، هَكَذَا يَكُونُ فِي ٱنْقِضَاءِ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ: (aiōn g165)

Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world. (aiōn g165)

٤١ 41 يُرْسِلُ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ مَلَائِكَتَهُ فَيَجْمَعُونَ مِنْ مَلَكُوتِهِ جَمِيعَ ٱلْمَعَاثِرِ وَفَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ،

The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity.

٤٢ 42 وَيَطْرَحُونَهُمْ فِي أَتُونِ ٱلنَّارِ. هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ ٱلْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ ٱلْأَسْنَانِ.

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

٤٣ 43 حِينَئِذٍ يُضِيءُ ٱلْأَبْرَارُ كَٱلشَّمْسِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ أَبِيهِمْ. مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ.

Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

٤٤ 44 «أَيْضًا يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَنْزًا مُخْفًى فِي حَقْلٍ، وَجَدَهُ إِنْسَانٌ فَأَخْفَاهُ. وَمِنْ فَرَحِهِ مَضَى وَبَاعَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ وَٱشْتَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْحَقْلَ.

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

٤٥ 45 أَيْضًا يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ إِنْسَانًا تَاجِرًا يَطْلُبُ لَآلِئَ حَسَنَةً،

Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.

٤٦ 46 فَلَمَّا وَجَدَ لُؤْلُؤَةً وَاحِدَةً كَثِيرَةَ ٱلثَّمَنِ، مَضَى وَبَاعَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ وَٱشْتَرَاهَا.

Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.

٤٧ 47 أَيْضًا يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ شَبَكَةً مَطْرُوحَةً فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَجَامِعَةً مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ.

Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.

٤٨ 48 فَلَمَّا ٱمْتَلَأَتْ أَصْعَدُوهَا عَلَى ٱلشَّاطِئِ، وَجَلَسُوا وَجَمَعُوا ٱلْجِيَادَ إِلَى أَوْعِيَةٍ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَرْدِيَاءُ فَطَرَحُوهَا خَارِجًا.

Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.

٤٩ 49 هَكَذَا يَكُونُ فِي ٱنْقِضَاءِ ٱلْعَالَمِ: يَخْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةُ وَيُفْرِزُونَ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ، (aiōn g165)

So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just. (aiōn g165)

٥٠ 50 وَيَطْرَحُونَهُمْ فِي أَتُونِ ٱلنَّارِ. هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ ٱلْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ ٱلْأَسْنَانِ».

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

٥١ 51 قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَفَهِمْتُمْ هَذَا كُلَّهُ؟». فَقَالُوا: «نَعَمْ، يا سَيِّدُ».

Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.

٥٢ 52 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ كُلُّ كَاتِبٍ مُتَعَلِّمٍ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يُشْبِهُ رَجُلًا رَبَّ بَيْتٍ يُخْرِجُ مِنْ كَنْزِهِ جُدُدًا وَعُتَقَاءَ».

He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.

٥٣ 53 وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلَ يَسُوعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ ٱنْتَقَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ.

And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence.

٥٤ 54 وَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى وَطَنِهِ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ فِي مَجْمَعِهِمْ حَتَّى بُهِتُوا وَقَالُوا: «مِنْ أَيْنَ لِهَذَا هَذِهِ ٱلْحِكْمَةُ وَٱلْقُوَّاتُ؟

And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles?

٥٥ 55 أَلَيْسَ هَذَا ٱبْنَ ٱلنَّجَّارِ؟ أَلَيْسَتْ أُمُّهُ تُدْعَى مَرْيَمَ، وَإِخْوَتُهُ يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوسِي وَسِمْعَانَ وَيَهُوذَا؟

Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude:

٥٦ 56 أَوَلَيْسَتْ أَخَوَاتُهُ جَمِيعُهُنَّ عِنْدَنَا؟ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ لِهَذَا هَذِهِ كُلُّهَا؟».

And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things?

٥٧ 57 فَكَانُوا يَعْثُرُونَ بِهِ. وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَيْسَ نَبِيٌّ بِلَا كَرَامَةٍ إِلَّا فِي وَطَنِهِ وَفِي بَيْتِهِ».

And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

٥٨ 58 وَلَمْ يَصْنَعْ هُنَاكَ قُوَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً لِعَدَمِ إِيمَانِهِمْ.

And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.

Jesus Preaches in the Synagogue
