< Matthew 13 >

1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
Nivi kima Yesu a rju ni koha hi ka son ni nyu kiekle nne'a.
2 Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
Kpontren ndi baka hu kagon ma wa ka wlu ri ni mi ghu nda kuson nimi ma u j'bu ndi ba wawu mba wu baka kli ni korah nju kiekle nne'a.
3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
Ni nton Yesu a hla kpi gbugbu wu ni bawu ni (misali) {lan bininkon} A tre Indi ri u ron (cu) ahi nda ka cu.
4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
A cu'a u ibii bari ba kuhle ni nkon u cincen baka ye vurli.
5 Others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
Ibii bari baka kuhle ni meme wahe ni tslatsa tita (dancon?) Bati gbla rju ni tuwa meme a he bran na.
6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
U irji a rjunda whu' u baka quu ngblanme.
7 Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
Ibii bari ba kuhle ni mi kunkron bi ncon u kunkron ncon ba gbron na nyi ba.
8 Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
Ibii bari ba kuhle ni meme dindi ma na rju bi nda tie bii, bari ibii darli ni tu wa a cu'a bari ibii ise ton u bari ibii ise tra hamma ni tane.
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Iwa ahe ni ton u wo'a kawo”
10 The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
U bi hua baye nda tre ni Yesu “Ani tu ngye mba u tre ni j'bu ndi ni (lan bi ninkon?) “misali?”
11 He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.
Yesu a saa' bawu nda tre, “Ba nnoyi nkon u toh kpye u mulki shulu wa ba rli ni bawu a.
12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
E wa ahe niwu'a ba nno nhatia, u ani he wu babran. U indi wa ana hewu na' ikpye wa ahe wu'a ba kpawu.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
Ngye kpye wa ani ndu me tre ni ba ni lan bi ninkon a yi: ko wa ba' yah bano toh na u ko wa wa'a bana wo na nda name' toh tuma zuna.
14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive;
Ni' bawuyi itre Isheya a ye tsra, wa a tre din, Ni wo biwo ndi tie bre toh njima uni' yah bi toh indi na toh tuma zuna.
15 for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’
E isron ndi mbayi aka tie bwu' nda sen gbirhi rhi me nda na wo na nda gru shishi mba ni ndu ba - ba na toh ni shishi mba na, ka ndu ba na woni ton mba na, ka nda toh njima ni sron mba ni ndu ba kmaye ndu me den ba.
16 “But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
U shishi mbi ba'bi lulu niwa ba toh a, u ton mbi ngame wa ba wo a.
17 For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
Njinyimu mi hla yiwu anabawa ni ba ndi bi tie ngyrengre gbugbu wu ba yo suron u toh ikpye wa biki toh a u bana tsh na. ba wa ba wo ikpye wa biki yoha nda na wo bana.
18 “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
Sren ton ndi wo misali u ndi u ron wa a cu bii a.
19 When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
U ndi wa awo lan u mulki a nda na toh njima na, ibrji meme ani ye sranwu kpa ikpye wa ba cu ni mi sron ma. Iwayi ahi bii wa ba cuwu ni nyu nkon a.
20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
Wawu ma wa ba cuwu ni meme u tslatsa tita a, ahi ndi wa a wo' lan'a nda kpawu gblame ni briku.
21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
Wa ana sen ngble wa ani klri bran ton nan. To iya ye ka meme tie ye ni tie lan'a, ani gbla joku
22 What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age (aiōn g165) and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
U wa ba cuwu ni mi kukron bi ncona, ahi ndi wa awo lan'a u hu ngbungbungblu ni gyru u kpji ngbungblu ba mha tre a wa kana klo na. (aiōn g165)
23 What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”
Wawuma wa ba cuwu ni meme ndindi ma kimaa' ahi iwa awo lan nda toh njimaa ani klo nda nno bii wa bari mla dari u bari ise ton u ri uma ni se tra hama ni tanne zan wa ba cu'a
24 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
Yesu ala nno ba misali ri. A tre, “mulki u shulu he na indi ri wa acu bii ndindi ma ni rju ma.
25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
U wa ndi basi kruna, u kranwu ri ka ye nda ka cu meme bii ni mi bii ndindi a nda hi kpama.
26 But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
Niwa ingban alkama a tubo nda tie tu'o ni nton kima meme giga ngame ka tsro.
27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did not you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’
Igran bi ndi u rju'a baka ye hla niwu tiekoh mbu ana bii ndindi ma ba ucu ni mi rju me ana? Nihe mu aka tie meme giga?
28 “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
A hla ni bawu, ahi wa ayame ni ko shishia mba tie ndu mba. Igram ma ba ba ka tre kie hi gbi ba hle rju
29 “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
Indi u rju katre, A'an Bita ni to kima, biye gbi bii ndindi nha ni meme giga a.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
Ndu mba gbron bi me gbyen fyi u han ma. Ninton kimayi mi hla ni bi han ba, guci gbi meme giga ba ndi lo ba ni nkpi ma zi wa baka gon ba; u alkama mba bi vu hi sru nimi wron mu.
31 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took, and sowed in his field,
U Yesu ala tre ni mba ni misali garti, nda hla “Ba ban mulki shulu na wlo bii mustad wa indi ka cu ni rjuma.
32 which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.”
Iwlo yi ahi fyime yi ni mi bii a wawuu. u aye gbron nda tie vuvu zan imbru bari ma ni rjua. A katie kukron wa cicen bakaye tie koh mba ni ba lan ma.
33 He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”
Yesu ala hla misali ri ni bawu, mulki shulu ahe to yist wa iwa ni ban wu tsi ni mwu mwu kango tra waka kpawu whu
34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,
Ikpyi biyi wawu mbawu Yesu a tre ba ni misali ana tre kpye ri hama ni misali na.
35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”
Ahe towa ni ndu ikpye wa ba tre ni nyu anebi a ndu njanji, wa'a hla, “mi bwuu nyumu ni misali. Mi hla ikpyi wa ba he rii'rii' rji ni tie ngbungbu'a”.
36 Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”
U Yesu ka' ka j'bu ndi ba don nda rihi ni mi koh. Mrli koh ma baka ye niwu nda tre, Hla ni tawu misali ni tu meme gigah u rjua”
37 He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
Yesu a saa' nda tre wawu wa a cu bii ndindia ahi vren ndi.
38 the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
Irju'a mba hi ngbungblu; u bii ndindia bahi mrli bi mulki. Gigah ba ba mrli u meme a.
39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the consummation of the age (aiōn g165), and the reapers are angels.
U ni tie shishi wa a chu ba ahi shetan. Iham ahi ikle ngbungblu u bi han bahi malaiku (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the consummation of this age (aiōn g165).
Nawa ba vu gigah ba ka gon ni lu'a ani he tokime ni kle ngbungblu. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and those who do iniquity,
Ivren ndi ni ton malaika ma, uba hivu kpi biwa ba nji latre mba tie meme rju ni mulki ma.
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Ba' ta' ba sru nimi kpentren lu, ni kima bayi nda tan nyiyren.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Nikiyi me ndi bi tie njanyi ba kpan to rji ni mulki tie mba. Ndu wa ahe ton u wo a, ndu wo.
44 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Mulki shulu ahe to (arziki) wa ba rii wu ni mi rju. Indi ri ka toh nda rii'u. Ahi ni ngri nda ka vu ikpyi wa ahe ba le'nda hi ka le rjua.
45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
Ngarli mulki shulu he to ndi u woh waa ani wa shishan tita.
46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
Wa aye fe shishan u nkpon bi ri, a vu kpyi u wo'ma le'rju nda le wu.
47 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind,
Ngarli mulki shulu ahe na rjirji u vu lambe wa ba ka ta yo ni mi kie kleme nda vu kpyi gbugbu wu ni san mba.
48 which, when it was filled, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
Wa rjirji'a shu'a bi vu lambe ba baka gbi wu rju ye ni rah. Ba kuson nda hla bi ndindia sru nimi gbokrju mba u bi meme ba' ba vu ba ta'hlega.
49 So it will be in the consummation of the age (aiōn g165). The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous,
Ani he towayi ni kle u ngbongblu'a. (aiōn g165)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Malaika baye nda ga bi meme rju ru bi tie zizi ba sruni kpentren lu nikiyi bayi nda tan nyiyren
51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
Bi toh tu kpyi mba yi wawu wu? Mrli koh ma baka tre “E”
52 He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”
Yesu a hla bawo, Ahe to kima na wa u riha ri wa ani ta katie vren koh u mulki shulu'a ani he to ndi wa ahe ni koh'a wa a ju kpyi bi ciceme ni bi sisama rju nimi kpyi ma wa ahe ba.
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
Niwayi, wa Yesu a tre ni misali ni bawu kle'a a wluhi don bubu kima.
54 Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
Yesu ahi ni ko nklan u gbu ma nda kari ni tra Rji nda tsro indi mba. Ba wo tsro ma nda manji ma wakran (lie sisri) nda tre ndi “Iguyi afe toh tsro yi ni ngbengble u tie kpyi bi sisri yi rji mame?
55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
Indiyi ana vren guh u han kunkron a na? Wa ana yima yi ba yowu ndi Maryamu na? u' ana ba Yakubu ni Isuwu mba sima u Yahuza ba mrli vayi ma na?
56 Are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”
Ana mrli vayi ba mrli mba wa ba he nita na? Wa afe kpyi biyi wawu rji mame”
57 They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house.”
Baka tie nfu ni wu. Yesu a tre din “E ba tsri anabi ni urji ri na anigbu ma ni koh mayi ba kpau tsri.
58 He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Ana tie kpyi bi manji ma gbugbu wu ni kima na ni tu ka kpayme mba ni tre Rji.
