Matthew 13
1 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
aparañca tasmin dine yīśuḥ sadmano gatvā saritpate rodhasi samupaviveśa|
2 Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.
tatra tatsannidhau bahujanānāṁ nivahopasthiteḥ sa taraṇimāruhya samupāviśat, tena mānavā rodhasi sthitavantaḥ|
3 And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
tadānīṁ sa dṛṣṭāntaistān itthaṁ bahuśa upadiṣṭavān| paśyata, kaścit kṛṣīvalo bījāni vaptuṁ bahirjagāma,
4 And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
tasya vapanakāle katipayabījeṣu mārgapārśve patiteṣu vihagāstāni bhakṣitavantaḥ|
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
aparaṁ katipayabījeṣu stokamṛdyuktapāṣāṇe patiteṣu mṛdalpatvāt tatkṣaṇāt tānyaṅkuritāni,
6 But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
kintu ravāvudite dagdhāni teṣāṁ mūlāpraviṣṭatvāt śuṣkatāṁ gatāni ca|
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.
aparaṁ katipayabījeṣu kaṇṭakānāṁ madhye patiteṣu kaṇṭakānyedhitvā tāni jagrasuḥ|
8 Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.
aparañca katipayabījāni urvvarāyāṁ patitāni; teṣāṁ madhye kānicit śataguṇāni kānicit ṣaṣṭiguṇāni kānicit triṁśaguṁṇāni phalāni phalitavanti|
9 He who has ears, let him hear.”
śrotuṁ yasya śrutī āsāte sa śṛṇuyāt|
10 Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”
anantaraṁ śiṣyairāgatya so'pṛcchyata, bhavatā tebhyaḥ kuto dṛṣṭāntakathā kathyate?
11 He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
tataḥ sa pratyavadat, svargarājyasya nigūḍhāṁ kathāṁ vedituṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ sāmarthyamadāyi, kintu tebhyo nādāyi|
12 Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
yasmād yasyāntike varddhate, tasmāyeva dāyiṣyate, tasmāt tasya bāhulyaṁ bhaviṣyati, kintu yasyāntike na varddhate, tasya yat kiñcanāste, tadapi tasmād ādāyiṣyate|
13 This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’
te paśyantopi na paśyanti, śṛṇvantopi na śṛṇvanti, budhyamānā api na budhyante ca, tasmāt tebhyo dṛṣṭāntakathā kathyate|
14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
yathā karṇaiḥ śroṣyatha yūyaṁ vai kintu yūyaṁ na bhotsyatha| netrairdrakṣyatha yūyañca parijñātuṁ na śakṣyatha| te mānuṣā yathā naiva paripaśyanti locanaiḥ| karṇai ryathā na śṛṇvanti na budhyante ca mānasaiḥ| vyāvarttiteṣu citteṣu kāle kutrāpi tairjanaiḥ| mattaste manujāḥ svasthā yathā naiva bhavanti ca| tathā teṣāṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ kriyante sthūlabuddhayaḥ| badhirībhūtakarṇāśca jātāśca mudritā dṛśaḥ|
15 For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’
yadetāni vacanāni yiśayiyabhaviṣyadvādinā proktāni teṣu tāni phalanti|
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
kintu yuṣmākaṁ nayanāni dhanyāni, yasmāt tāni vīkṣante; dhanyāśca yuṣmākaṁ śabdagrahāḥ, yasmāt tairākarṇyate|
17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
mayā yūyaṁ tathyaṁ vacāmi yuṣmābhi ryadyad vīkṣyate, tad bahavo bhaviṣyadvādino dhārmmikāśca mānavā didṛkṣantopi draṣṭuṁ nālabhanta, punaśca yūyaṁ yadyat śṛṇutha, tat te śuśrūṣamāṇā api śrotuṁ nālabhanta|
18 Consider, then, the parable of the sower:
kṛṣīvalīyadṛṣṭāntasyārthaṁ śṛṇuta|
19 When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
mārgapārśve bījānyuptāni tasyārtha eṣaḥ, yadā kaścit rājyasya kathāṁ niśamya na budhyate, tadā pāpātmāgatya tadīyamanasa uptāṁ kathāṁ haran nayati|
20 The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
aparaṁ pāṣāṇasthale bījānyuptāni tasyārtha eṣaḥ; kaścit kathāṁ śrutvaiva harṣacittena gṛhlāti,
21 But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
kintu tasya manasi mūlāpraviṣṭatvāt sa kiñcitkālamātraṁ sthirastiṣṭhati; paścāta tatkathākāraṇāt kopi klestāḍanā vā cet jāyate, tarhi sa tatkṣaṇād vighnameti|
22 The seed sown among the thorns is the one who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
aparaṁ kaṇṭakānāṁ madhye bījānyuptāni tadartha eṣaḥ; kenacit kathāyāṁ śrutāyāṁ sāṁsārikacintābhi rbhrāntibhiśca sā grasyate, tena sā mā viphalā bhavati| (aiōn g165)
23 But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.”
aparam urvvarāyāṁ bījānyuptāni tadartha eṣaḥ; ye tāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā vudhyante, te phalitāḥ santaḥ kecit śataguṇāni kecita ṣaṣṭiguṇāni kecicca triṁśadguṇāni phalāni janayanti|
24 Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
anantaraṁ soparāmekāṁ dṛṣṭāntakathāmupasthāpya tebhyaḥ kathayāmāsa; svargīyarājyaṁ tādṛśena kenacid gṛhasthenopamīyate, yena svīyakṣetre praśastabījānyaupyanta|
25 But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.
kintu kṣaṇadāyāṁ sakalalokeṣu supteṣu tasya ripurāgatya teṣāṁ godhūmabījānāṁ madhye vanyayavamabījānyuptvā vavrāja|
26 When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.
tato yadā bījebhyo'ṅkarā jāyamānāḥ kaṇiśāni ghṛtavantaḥ; tadā vanyayavasānyapi dṛśyamānānyabhavan|
27 The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
tato gṛhasthasya dāseyā āgamya tasmai kathayāñcakruḥ, he maheccha, bhavatā kiṁ kṣetre bhadrabījāni naupyanta? tathātve vanyayavasāni kṛta āyan?
28 ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
tadānīṁ tena te pratigaditāḥ, kenacit ripuṇā karmmadamakāri| dāseyāḥ kathayāmāsuḥ, vayaṁ gatvā tānyutpāyya kṣipāmo bhavataḥ kīdṛśīcchā jāyate?
29 ‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.
tenāvādi, nahi, śaṅke'haṁ vanyayavasotpāṭanakāle yuṣmābhistaiḥ sākaṁ godhūmā apyutpāṭiṣyante|
30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat into my barn.’”
ataḥ śsyakarttanakālaṁ yāvad ubhayānyapi saha varddhantāṁ, paścāt karttanakāle karttakān vakṣyāmi, yūyamādau vanyayavasāni saṁgṛhya dāhayituṁ vīṭikā badvvā sthāpayata; kintu sarvve godhūmā yuṣmābhi rbhāṇḍāgāraṁ nītvā sthāpyantām|
31 He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.
anantaraṁ soparāmekāṁ dṛṣṭāntakathāmutthāpya tebhyaḥ kathitavān kaścinmanujaḥ sarṣapabījamekaṁ nītvā svakṣetra uvāpa|
32 Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
sarṣapabījaṁ sarvvasmād bījāt kṣudramapi sadaṅkuritaṁ sarvvasmāt śākāt bṛhad bhavati; sa tādṛśastaru rbhavati, yasya śākhāsu nabhasaḥ khagā āgatya nivasanti; svargīyarājyaṁ tādṛśasya sarṣapaikasya samam|
33 He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”
punarapi sa upamākathāmekāṁ tebhyaḥ kathayāñcakāra; kācana yoṣit yat kiṇvamādāya droṇatrayamitagodhūmacūrṇānāṁ madhye sarvveṣāṁ miśrībhavanaparyyantaṁ samācchādya nidhattavatī, tatkiṇvamiva svargarājyaṁ|
34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.
itthaṁ yīśu rmanujanivahānāṁ sannidhāvupamākathābhiretānyākhyānāni kathitavān upamāṁ vinā tebhyaḥ kimapi kathāṁ nākathayat|
35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”
etena dṛṣṭāntīyena vākyena vyādāya vadanaṁ nijaṁ| ahaṁ prakāśayiṣyāmi guptavākyaṁ purābhavaṁ| yadetadvacanaṁ bhaviṣyadvādinā proktamāsīt, tat siddhamabhavat|
36 Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
sarvvān manujān visṛjya yīśau gṛhaṁ praviṣṭe tacchiṣyā āgatya yīśave kathitavantaḥ, kṣetrasya vanyayavasīyadṛṣṭāntakathām bhavāna asmān spaṣṭīkṛtya vadatu|
37 He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
tataḥ sa pratyuvāca, yena bhadrabījānyupyante sa manujaputraḥ,
38 The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
kṣetraṁ jagat, bhadrabījānī rājyasya santānāḥ,
39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. (aiōn g165)
vanyayavasāni pāpātmanaḥ santānāḥ| yena ripuṇā tānyuptāni sa śayatānaḥ, karttanasamayaśca jagataḥ śeṣaḥ, karttakāḥ svargīyadūtāḥ| (aiōn g165)
40 As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
yathā vanyayavasāni saṁgṛhya dāhyante, tathā jagataḥ śeṣe bhaviṣyati; (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness.
arthāt manujasutaḥ svāṁyadūtān preṣayiṣyati, tena te ca tasya rājyāt sarvvān vighnakāriṇo'dhārmmikalokāṁśca saṁgṛhya
42 And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
yatra rodanaṁ dantagharṣaṇañca bhavati, tatrāgnikuṇḍe nikṣepsyanti|
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
tadānīṁ dhārmmikalokāḥ sveṣāṁ pitū rājye bhāskara̮iva tejasvino bhaviṣyanti| śrotuṁ yasya śrutī āsāte, ma śṛṇuyāt|
44 The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.
aparañca kṣetramadhye nidhiṁ paśyan yo gopayati, tataḥ paraṁ sānando gatvā svīyasarvvasvaṁ vikrīya ttakṣetraṁ krīṇāti, sa iva svargarājyaṁ|
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.
anyañca yo vaṇik uttamāṁ muktāṁ gaveṣayan
46 When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.
mahārghāṁ muktāṁ vilokya nijasarvvasvaṁ vikrīya tāṁ krīṇāti, sa iva svargarājyaṁ|
47 Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.
punaśca samudro nikṣiptaḥ sarvvaprakāramīnasaṁgrāhyānāya̮iva svargarājyaṁ|
48 When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.
tasmin ānāye pūrṇe janā yathā rodhasyuttolya samupaviśya praśastamīnān saṁgrahya bhājaneṣu nidadhate, kutsitān nikṣipanti;
49 So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
tathaiva jagataḥ śeṣe bhaviṣyati, phalataḥ svargīyadūtā āgatya puṇyavajjanānāṁ madhyāt pāpinaḥ pṛthak kṛtvā vahnikuṇḍe nikṣepsyanti, (aiōn g165)
50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
tatra rodanaṁ dantai rdantagharṣaṇañca bhaviṣyataḥ|
51 Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.
yīśunā te pṛṣṭā yuṣmābhiḥ kimetānyākhyānānyabudhyanta? tadā te pratyavadan, satyaṁ prabho|
52 Then He told them, “For this reason, every scribe who has been discipled in the kingdom of heaven is like a homeowner who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
tadānīṁ sa kathitavān, nijabhāṇḍāgārāt navīnapurātanāni vastūni nirgamayati yo gṛhasthaḥ sa iva svargarājyamadhi śikṣitāḥ svarva upadeṣṭāraḥ|
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.
anantaraṁ yīśuretāḥ sarvvā dṛṣṭāntakathāḥ samāpya tasmāt sthānāt pratasthe| aparaṁ svadeśamāgatya janān bhajanabhavana upadiṣṭavān;
54 Coming to His hometown, He taught the people in their synagogue, and they were astonished. “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?” they asked.
te vismayaṁ gatvā kathitavanta etasyaitādṛśaṁ jñānam āścaryyaṁ karmma ca kasmād ajāyata?
55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
kimayaṁ sūtradhārasya putro nahi? etasya mātu rnāma ca kiṁ mariyam nahi? yākub-yūṣaph-śimon-yihūdāśca kimetasya bhrātaro nahi?
56 Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”
etasya bhaginyaśca kimasmākaṁ madhye na santi? tarhi kasmādayametāni labdhavān? itthaṁ sa teṣāṁ vighnarūpo babhūva;
57 And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
tato yīśunā nigaditaṁ svadeśīyajanānāṁ madhyaṁ vinā bhaviṣyadvādī kutrāpyanyatra nāsammānyo bhavatī|
58 And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
teṣāmaviśvāsahetoḥ sa tatra sthāne bahvāścaryyakarmmāṇi na kṛtavān|
