Mathayo 13
1 Odiechiengʼno Yesu nowuok e ot mi nobet e dho nam.
That same day Jesus had left the house and was sitting on the shore of the Lake,
2 Nikech oganda maduongʼ nochokore molwore, nodonjo ei yie mi obetie, ka ji duto to ochungʼ oko e dho nam.
when a vast multitude of people crowded round Him. He therefore went on board a boat and sat there, while all the people stood on the shore.
3 Eka nonyisogi gik mangʼeny e yor ngeche, kowacho niya, “Japur moro nodhi chwoyo kodhi.
He then spoke many things to them in figurative language. "The sower goes out," He said, "to sow.
4 Kane oyudo ochwoyo kodhi, kodhi moko nolwar e dir yo, kendo winy nobiro mochamogi duto.
As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up.
5 Kodhi moko nolwar kuonde motimo lwendni, ma lowo operoree, mine gitwi piyo piyo nikech lowo ne thany thany.
Some falls on rocky ground, where it has but scanty soil. It quickly shows itself above ground, because it has no depth of earth;
6 To ka chiengʼ nowuok, chamgo nowangʼ kendo nikech ne gionge tiendegi, ne gitwo.
but when the sun is risen, it is scorched by the heat, and through having no root it withers up.
7 Kodhi moko nolwar e kind kudho, to kudhogo nodongo, mine githungʼo chamgo.
Some falls among the thorns; but the thorns spring up and stifle it.
8 To kodhi moko to nolwar e lowo maber, mine gitwi kendo gichiego cham; moloyo kaka nochwoyo, moko nyadi mia, moko nyadi piero auchiel kata nyadi piero adek.
But a portion falls upon good ground, and gives a return, some a hundred for one, some sixty, some thirty.
9 Ngʼat man-gi ite mar winjo wach mondo owinji.”
Listen, every one who has ears!"
10 Jopuonjrene nobiro ire mopenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo iwuoyo gi ji gi ngeche?”
(And His disciples came and asked Him, "Why do you speak to them in figurative language?"
11 Nodwokogi niya, “Un osemiu rieko mar ngʼeyo tiend gik mopondo mag pinyruodh polo, to gin ok osemigi.
"Because," He replied, "while to you it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of the Heavens, to them it is not.
12 Ngʼat man-go nomedne mi nobed gi gik mogundho; to ngʼat ma ongego kata mano ma en-go nomaye.
For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but whoever has not, from him even what he has shall be taken away.
13 Gimomiyo awuoyo kamano kodgi gi ngeche en ni mondo: “Kik ginee kata obedo ni gineno; kik gingʼe tiend wach kata obedo ni giwinjo.
I speak to them in figurative language for this reason, that while looking they do not see, and while hearing they neither hear nor understand.
14 Kuomgi ema wach mokor mar Isaya chopo kare kowacho niya, “‘Ubiro siko kuwinjo weche miwacho to wach ok nodonjnu ngangʼ; Ubiro siko kungʼicho to ok unune gimoro.
And in regard to them the prophecy of Isaiah is receiving signal fulfilment: "'You will hear and hear and by no means understand, and you will look and look and by no means see.
15 Nikech chuny jogi osedinore; gisedino itgi, kendo gisemiyo wengegi. Nono to dipo ka wengegi oneno, kendo itgi owinjo wach; mi chunygi ofwenyo tiend weche, kendo gidwog ira mi achang-gi.’
For this people's mind is stupefied, their hearing has become dull, and their eyes they have closed; to prevent their ever seeing with their eyes, or hearing with their ears, or understanding with their minds, and turning back, so that I might heal them.'
16 Un to ogwedh wengeu nikech gineno, itu bende nikech giwinjo wach.
"But as for you, blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.
17 Nimar awachonu adier ni jonabi gi joma kare mangʼeny nogombo neno gik muneno, to ne ok ginene, kendo winjo gik muwinjogi, to ne ok giwinjo.
For I solemnly tell you that many Prophets and holy men have longed to see the sights you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the words you hear, and have not heard them.
18 “Koro winjuru tiend ngero mar jakomo,
"To you then I will explain the parable of the Sower.
19 Ka ngʼato owinjo wach mar pinyruoth to ok owinjo tiende, ngʼat marach biro kendo yudho gima okom e chunye mi dhigo. Mano e kodhi mane ochwoyo e dir yo.
When a man hears the Message concerning the Kingdom and does not understand it, the Evil one comes and catches away what has been sown in his heart. This is he who has received the seed by the road-side.
20 To kodhi mane ochwo kuonde motimo lwanda ochungʼ kar ngʼama winjo wach kendo rwake sano gi mor.
He who has received the seed on the rocky ground is the man who hears the Message and immediately receives it with joy.
21 To nikech oonge gi tiendene, obet kuom kinde machwok kende. Ka chandruok gi sand obiro nikech Wach Nyasaye, to opodho piyo piyo nono.
It has struck no root, however, within him. He continues for a time, but when suffering comes, or persecution, because of the Message, he at once stumbles and falls.
22 Kodhi mane olwar e kind kudho to ochungʼ kar ngʼat mawinjo wach, to parruok kuom ngima mar pinyni gi wuond ma mwandu kelo thungʼo wachno kendo mone nyak. (aiōn g165)
He who has received the seed among the thorns is the man who hears the Message, but the cares of the present age and the delusions of riches quite stifle the Message, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 To kodhi mane olwar e lowo maber ochungʼ kar ngʼat mawinjo wach kendo make, mi ochieg cham mangʼeny mohingo kodhi mane okomgo nyadi mia, nyadi piero auchiel kata nyadi piero adek.”
But he who has received the seed on good ground is he who hears and understands. Such hearers give a return, and yield one a hundred for one, another sixty, another thirty.")
24 Yesu nogoyonegi ngero machielo kama: “Pinyruodh polo chalo gi ngʼat mane okomo kodhi maber e puothe.
Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "may be compared to a man who has sown good seed in his field,
25 To kane oyudo ji duto nindo, jasike nobiro mopidho buya e dier ngano, bangʼe to odhi.
but during the night his enemy comes, and over the first seed he sows darnel among the wheat, and goes away.
26 Ka ngano nodongo moiko wiyegi to buya bende nochako limbo.
But when the blade shoots up and the grain is formed, then appears the darnel also.
27 “Jotij wuon puodho nobiro ire mowachone ni, ‘Jaduongʼ, donge ne ikomo kodhi mabeyo lilo e puothi? Ka kamano to buya to oa kure?’
"So the farmer's men come and ask him, "'Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed on your land? Where then does the darnel come from?'
28 “Nodwoko ni, ‘Jasigu ema notimo ma.’ “Jotich nopenje ni, ‘Diher mondo wadhi wapudhgi oko?’
"'Some enemy has done this,' he said. "'Shall we go, and collect it?' the men inquire.
29 “To nodwoko ni, ‘Ooyo, kik utim kamano nikech seche ma upudho buyago unyalo pudho ngano bende kaachiel kodgi.
"'No,' he replied, 'for fear that while collecting the darnel you should at the same time root up the wheat with it.
30 Wegiuru gitwi kaachiel giduto nyaka chiengʼ keyo. Ka kindeno ochopo to ananyis jokeyo mondo okuong ochok buya kendo otwegi pidhe pidhe mondo owangʼ-gi; eka bangʼe gichok ngano kendo gikel gikan e decha.’”
Leave both to grow together until the harvest, and at harvest-time I will direct the reapers, Collect the darnel first, and make it up into bundles to burn it, but bring all the wheat into my barn.'"
31 Nogoyonegi ngero machielo kama: “Pinyruodh polo chalo gi koth karadali ma ngʼato nokawo mopidho e puothe.
Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like a mustard-seed, which a man takes and sows in his ground.
32 Kata obedo ni en e kodhi matinie mogik kuom kotheu duto, to ka odongo to odoko yiend puodho maduongʼ moloyo yiende mag puodho duto, kendo winy mafuyo e kor polo biro kendo piyo e bedene.”
It is the smallest of all seeds, and yet when full-grown it is larger than any herb and forms a tree, so that the birds come and build in its branches."
33 Nochako ogoyonegi ngero machielo niya, “Pinyruodh polo chalo gi thowi mane dhako moro okawo kendo oruwo ei mogo mangʼeny mi bangʼe okuodo mogono.”
Another parable He spoke to them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, for it to work there till the whole mass has risen."
34 Yesu nowacho gigi duto ne oganda gi ngeche; ne ok owachonegi gimoro amora ma ok okonyore gi ngero.
All this Jesus spoke to the people in figurative language, and except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them,
35 Mano nochopo gima ne owach gidho janabi niya, “Abiro yawo dhoga mondo awuo gi ngeche, abiro hulo gik mosebedo kopondo nyaka aa chakruok piny.”
in fulfilment of the saying of the Prophet, "I will open my mouth in figurative language, I will utter things kept hidden since the creation of all things."
36 Eka noweyo oganda mi odonjo e ot. Jopuonjrene nobiro ire kawacho niya, “Nyiswae tiend ngech buya manie puodho.”
When He had dismissed the people and had returned to the house, His disciples came to Him with the request, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel sown in the field."
37 Nodwokogi niya, “Ngʼat mane okomo kodhi mabeyo en Wuod Dhano.
"The sower of the good seed," He replied, "is the Son of Man;
38 Puodho en piny, to kodhi maber ochungʼ kar yawuot pinyruoth. Buya gin yawuot ngʼat marach,
the field is the world; the good seed--these are the sons of the Kingdom; the darnel, the sons of the Evil one.
The enemy who sows the darnel is the Devil; the harvest is the Close of the Age; the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
As then the darnel is collected together and burnt up with fire, so will it be at the Close of the Age. (aiōn g165)
41 Wuod Dhano biro oro malaikane, kendo gibiro golo gimoro amora manie pinyruodhe makelo richo kod ji duto matimo gik maricho.
The Son of Man will commission His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all who violate His laws;
42 Gibiro witogi e mach makakni, kama ywagruok gi mwodo lak nobedie.
and these they will throw into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.
43 Eka joma kare norieny kaka wangʼ chiengʼ ei pinyruoth mar Wuon-gi. Ngʼat man-gi ite to mondo owinji.
Then will the righteous shine out like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, every one who has ears!
44 “Pinyruodh polo chalo gi mwandu mopandi e puodho, ma ngʼat moro nonwangʼo kendo nopando, eka noa kanyo kopongʼ gi mor kendo nodhi mouso gige duto mane en-go modwogo ongʼiewogo puodhono.
"The Kingdom of the Heavens is like treasure buried in the open country, which a man finds, but buries again, and, in his joy about it, goes and sells all he has and buys that piece of ground.
45 “Bende pinyruodh polo chalo gi ja-ohala mamanyo kite ma nengogi tek mondo owar.
"Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a jewel merchant who is in quest of choice pearls.
46 Kane oyudo achiel moro ma nengone tek ahinya to noa modhi kendo nouso gige mane en-go duto mongʼiewego.
He finds one most costly pearl; he goes away; and though it costs all he has, he buys it.
47 “Bende pinyruodh polo chalo gi gogo mane ochiki e nam momako kit rech duto mopogore opogore.
"Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a draw-net let down into the sea, which encloses fish of all sorts.
48 Kane osepongʼ to joywecho noywaye nyaka e dho nam. Eka negibedo piny mi gichoko rech mabeyo duto giketo ei okepni, to maricho to giwito.
When full, they haul it up on the beach, and sit down and collect the good fish in baskets, while the worthless they throw away.
49 Kamano e kaka nobedi chiengʼ giko piny. Malaike nobi kendo nopog joma timbegi richo gi joma kare, (aiōn g165)
So will it be at the Close of the Age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 kendo nowitgi ei mach makakni, kama ywagruok gi mwodo lak nobedie.”
and will throw them into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth."
51 Yesu nopenjogi niya, “Bende usewinjo tiend gigi duto?” Ne giyiene niya, “Ee.”
"Have you understood all this?" He asked. "Yes," they said.
52 Nowachonegi niya, “Kuom mano japuonj chik moro ka moro mosetiegi kuom wach pinyruodh polo chalo gi wuon ot magolo kuom gik mokano e deche, mwandu machon gi manyien.”
"Therefore," He said, "remember that every Scribe well trained for the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse new things and old."
53 Kane Yesu osetieko goyo ngechegi, nowuok kanyo odhi nyime.
Jesus concluded this series of parables and then departed.
54 Kane ochopo dalagi, nochako puonjo ji e sinagokegi, kendo negihum nono, ka gipenjore niya, “Rieko gi teko mar timo honni ma ngʼatni nigogi oyudo kanye?
And He came into His own country and proceeded to teach in their synagogue, so that they were filled with astonishment and exclaimed, "Where did he obtain such wisdom, and these wondrous powers?
55 Donge ngʼatni en wuod fundi bao-cha? Donge min-gi nyinge Maria, koso owetene donge gin Jakobo gi Josef gi Simon kod Judas?
Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers, James, Joseph, Simon and Judah?
56 Donge nyiminene duto ni kodwa ka? To koro ngʼatni ogolo gigi duto kanye?”
And his sisters--are they not all living here among us? Where then did he get all this?"
57 Kamano negichwanyore nikech en. To Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Janabi onge gi duongʼ mana e dalagi kendo gi ode owuon.”
So they turned angrily away from Him. But Jesus said to them, "There is no prophet left without honour except in his own country and among his own family."
58 Omiyo ne ok otimo honni mangʼeny kanyo nikech ne gionge gi yie.
And He performed but few mighty deeds there because of their want of faith.
