مَتَّى 13

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

The same day Jesus went out of the house, and 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 together to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

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

And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

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

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them:

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

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and immediately they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

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

And when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

٧ 7 وَسَقَطَ آخَرُ عَلَى ٱلشَّوْكِ، فَطَلَعَ ٱلشَّوْكُ وَخَنَقَهُ.

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

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

But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

٩ 9 مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ».

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

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

And the 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.

He answered and said to them, Because it is given to you 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 whoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.

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

Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing 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 in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye 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 this people’s heart has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

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

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for 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 verily I say to you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

١٨ 18 «فَٱسْمَعُوا أَنْتُمْ مَثَلَ ٱلزَّارِعِ:

Hear ye 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, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.

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

But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and immediately with joy receiveth it;

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

Yet he hath not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, immediately he is offended.

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

He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (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 seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

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

Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field:

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

But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

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

But when the blade had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

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

So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? how then hath it tares?

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

He said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

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

But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

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

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

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

Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like 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 indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge on its branches.

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 leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

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

All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable he spoke not 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 which have been kept secret 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 Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Make known to us the meaning of the parable of the tares of the field.

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

He answered 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.

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

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

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; 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)

As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)

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

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them who do iniquity;

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

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

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

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who 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.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field; which when a man hath found, he hideth, and from joy over it 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 a merchant man, seeking fine 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 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 a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

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

Which, when it was full, they drew to the shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast away the bad.

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 come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (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 wailing and gnashing of teeth.

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

Jesus saith to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

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

Then said he to them, Therefore every scribe who is instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is an householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

٥٣ 53 وَلَمَّا أَكْمَلَ يَسُوعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ ٱنْتَقَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.

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

And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, How hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

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 Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

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

And his sisters, are they not all with us? How then hath this man all these things?

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

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and in his own house.

٥٨ 58 وَلَمْ يَصْنَعْ هُنَاكَ قُوَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً لِعَدَمِ إِيمَانِهِمْ.

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Jesus Preaches at the Sea of Galilee
