< Matthew 13 >
1 The same day went Iesus out of the house, and sate by the sea side.
In illo die exiens Jesus de domo, sedebat secus mare.
2 And great multitudes resorted vnto him, so that he went into a ship, and sate downe: and the whole multitude stoode on the shore.
Et congregatæ sunt ad eum turbæ multæ, ita ut naviculam ascendens sederet: et omnis turba stabat in littore,
3 Then he spake many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sowe.
et locutus est eis multa in parabolis, dicens: Ecce exiit qui seminat, seminare.
4 And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the foules came and deuoured them vp.
Et dum seminat, quædam ceciderunt secus viam, et venerunt volucres cæli, et comederunt ea.
5 And some fell vpon stony grounde, where they had not much earth, and anon they sprong vp, because they had no depth of earth.
Alia autem ceciderunt in petrosa, ubi non habebant terram multam: et continuo exorta sunt, quia non habebant altitudinem terræ:
6 And when the sunne was vp, they were parched, and for lacke of rooting, withered away.
sole autem orto æstuaverunt; et quia non habebant radicem, aruerunt.
7 And some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprong vp, and choked them.
Alia autem ceciderunt in spinas: et creverunt spinæ, et suffocaverunt ea.
8 Some againe fel in good ground, and brought forth fruite, one corne an hundreth folde, some sixtie folde, and another thirtie folde.
Alia autem ceciderunt in terram bonam: et dabant fructum, aliud centesimum, aliud sexagesimum, aliud trigesimum.
9 He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
10 Then the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
Et accedentes discipuli dixerunt ei: Quare in parabolis loqueris eis?
11 And he answered, and said vnto them, Because it is giuen vnto you, to know the secretes of the kingdome of heauen, but to the it is not giue.
Qui respondens, ait illis: Quia vobis datum est nosse mysteria regni cælorum: illis autem non est datum.
12 For whosoeuer hath, to him shalbe giuen, and he shall haue abundance: but whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken away, euen that he hath.
Qui enim habet, dabitur ei, et abundabit: qui autem non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.
13 Therefore speake I to them in parables, because they seeing, doe not see: and hearing, they heare not, neither vnderstand.
Ideo in parabolis loquor eis: quia videntes non vident, et audientes non audiunt, neque intelligunt.
14 So in them is fulfilled the prophecie of Esaias, which prophecie saieth, By hearing, ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand, and seeing, ye shall see, and shall not perceiue.
Et adimpletur in eis prophetia Isaiæ, dicentis: [Auditu audietis, et non intelligetis: et videntes videbitis, et non videbitis.
15 For this peoples heart is waxed fat, and their eares are dull of hearing, and with their eyes they haue winked, lest they should see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and should vnderstand with their hearts, and should returne, that I might heale them.
Incrassatum est enim cor populi hujus, et auribus graviter audierunt, et oculos suos clauserunt: nequando videant oculis, et auribus audiant, et corde intelligant, et convertantur, et sanem eos.]
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your eares, for they heare.
Vestri autem beati oculi quia vident, et aures vestræ quia audiunt.
17 For verely I say vnto you, that many Prophets, and righteous men haue desired to see those things which ye see, and haue not seene them, and to heare those things which ye heare, and haue not heard them.
Amen quippe dico vobis, quia multi prophetæ et justi cupierunt videre quæ videtis, et non viderunt: et audire quæ auditis, et non audierunt.
18 Heare ye therefore ye parable of ye sower.
Vos ergo audite parabolam seminantis.
19 Whensoeuer any man heareth the woorde of that kingdome, and vnderstandeth it not, that euil one commeth, and catcheth away that which was sowen in his heart: and this is he which hath receiued the seede by the way side.
Omnis qui audit verbum regni, et non intelligit, venit malus, et rapit quod seminatum est in corde ejus: hic est qui secus viam seminatus est.
20 And hee that receiued seede in the stonie grounde, is he which heareth the woorde, and incontinently with ioy receiueth it,
Qui autem super petrosa seminatus est, hic est qui verbum audit, et continuo cum gaudio accipit illud:
21 Yet hath he no roote in himselfe, and dureth but a season: for assoone as tribulation or persecution commeth because of the woorde, by and by he is offended.
non habet autem in se radicem, sed est temporalis: facta autem tribulatione et persecutione propter verbum, continuo scandalizatur.
22 And hee that receiued the seede among thornes, is hee that heareth the woorde: but the care of this worlde, and the deceitfulnesse of riches choke the word, and he is made vnfruitfull. (aiōn )
Qui autem seminatus est in spinis, hic est qui verbum audit, et sollicitudo sæculi istius, et fallacia divitiarum suffocat verbum, et sine fructu efficitur. (aiōn )
23 But he that receiued the seede in the good ground, is he that heareth the worde, and vnderstandeth it, which also beareth fruite, and bringeth foorth, some an hundreth folde, some sixtie folde, and some thirtie folde.
Qui vero in terram bonam seminatus est, hic est qui audit verbum, et intelligit, et fructum affert, et facit aliud quidem centesimum, aliud autem sexagesimum, aliud vero trigesimum.
24 Another parable put hee foorth vnto them, saying, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a man which sowed good seede in his fielde.
Aliam parabolam proposuit illis, dicens: Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini, qui seminavit bonum semen in agro suo:
25 But while men slept, there came his enemie, and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his waie.
cum autem dormirent homines, venit inimicus ejus, et superseminavit zizania in medio tritici, et abiit.
26 And when the blade was sprong vp, and brought forth fruite, then appeared the tares also.
Cum autem crevisset herba, et fructum fecisset, tunc apparuerunt et zizania.
27 Then came the seruaunts of the housholder, and sayd vnto him, Master, sowedst not thou good seede in thy fielde? from whence then hath it tares?
Accedentes autem servi patrisfamilias, dixerunt ei: Domine, nonne bonum semen seminasti in agro tuo? unde ergo habet zizania?
28 And hee said to them, Some enuious man hath done this. Then the seruants saide vnto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them vp?
Et ait illis: Inimicus homo hoc fecit. Servi autem dixerunt ei: Vis, imus, et colligimus ea?
29 But he saide, Nay, lest while yee goe about to gather the tares, yee plucke vp also with them the wheat.
Et ait: Non: ne forte colligentes zizania, eradicetis simul cum eis et triticum.
30 Let both growe together vntill the haruest, and in time of haruest I will say to the reapers, Gather yee first the tares, and binde them in sheaues to burne them: but gather the wheate into my barne.
Sinite utraque crescere usque ad messem, et in tempore messis dicam messoribus: Colligite primum zizania, et alligate ea in fasciculos ad comburendum: triticum autem congregate in horreum meum.
31 Another parable he put foorth vnto them, saying, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a graine of mustard seede, which a man taketh and soweth in his fielde:
Aliam parabolam proposuit eis dicens: Simile est regnum cælorum grano sinapis, quod accipiens homo seminavit in agro suo:
32 Which in deede is the least of all seedes: but when it is growen, it is the greatest among herbes, and it is a tree, so that the birdes of heauen come and builde in the branches thereof.
quod minimum quidem est omnibus seminibus: cum autem creverit, majus est omnibus oleribus, et fit arbor, ita ut volucres cæli veniant, et habitent in ramis ejus.
33 Another parable spake hee to them, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto leauen, which a woman taketh and hideth in three pecks of meale, till all be leauened.
Aliam parabolam locutus est eis: Simile est regnum cælorum fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinæ satis tribus, donec fermentatum est totum.
34 All these thinges spake Iesus vnto the multitude in parables, and without parables spake he not to them,
Hæc omnia locutus est Jesus in parabolis ad turbas: et sine parabolis non loquebatur eis:
35 That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, and will vtter the thinges which haue beene kept secrete from the foundation of the worlde.
ut impleretur quod dictum erat per prophetam dicentem: Aperiam in parabolis os meum; eructabo abscondita a constitutione mundi.
36 Then sent Iesus the multitude away, and went into the house. And his disciples came vnto him, saying, Declare vnto vs the parable of the tares of that fielde.
Tunc, dimissis turbis, venit in domum: et accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, dicentes: Edissere nobis parabolam zizaniorum agri.
37 Then answered he, and saide to them, He that soweth the good seede, is the Sonne of man.
Qui respondens ait illis: Qui seminat bonum semen, est Filius hominis.
38 And the field is the worlde, and the good seede are the children of the kingdome, and the tares are the children of that wicked one.
Ager autem est mundus. Bonum vero semen, hi sunt filii regnum. Zizania autem, filii sunt nequam.
39 And the enemie that soweth them, is the deuill, and the haruest is the end of the worlde, and the reapers be the Angels. (aiōn )
Inimicus autem, qui seminavit ea, est diabolus. Messis vero, consummatio sæculi est. Messores autem, angeli sunt. (aiōn )
40 As then the tares are gathered and burned in ye fire, so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn )
Sicut ergo colliguntur zizania, et igni comburuntur: sic erit in consummatione sæculi. (aiōn )
41 The Sonne of man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which doe iniquitie,
Mittet Filius hominis angelos suos, et colligent de regno ejus omnia scandala, et eos qui faciunt iniquitatem:
42 And shall cast them into a fornace of fire. There shalbe wailing and gnashing of teeth.
et mittent eos in caminum ignis. Ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.
43 Then shall the iust men shine as ye sunne in the kingdome of their Father. Hee that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
Tunc justi fulgebunt sicut sol in regno Patris eorum. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
44 Againe, the kingdom of heauen is like vnto a treasure hid in ye field, which when a man hath found, he hideth it, and for ioy thereof departeth and selleth all that he hath, and buieth that field.
Simile est regnum cælorum thesauro abscondito in agro: quem qui invenit homo, abscondit, et præ gaudio illius vadit, et vendit universa quæ habet, et emit agrum illum.
45 Againe, the kingdome of heauen is like to a marchant man, that seeketh good pearles,
Iterum simile est regnum cælorum homini negotiatori, quærenti bonas margaritas.
46 Who hauing found a pearle of great price, went and solde all that he had, and bought it.
Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quæ habuit, et emit eam.
47 Againe, the kingdom of heauen is like vnto a drawe net cast into the sea, that gathereth of all kindes of things.
Iterum simile est regnum cælorum sagenæ missæ in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti.
48 Which, when it is full, men draw to lande, and sit and gather the good into vessels, and cast the bad away.
Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The Angels shall goe foorth, and seuer the bad from among the iust, (aiōn )
Sic erit in consummatione sæculi: exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio justorum, (aiōn )
50 And shall cast them into a fornace of fire: there shalbe wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
et mittent eos in caminum ignis: ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium.
51 Iesus saide vnto them, Vnderstand yee all these things? They saide vnto him, Yea, Lord.
Intellexistis hæc omnia? Dicunt ei: Etiam.
52 Then sayd hee vnto them, Therefore euery Scribe which is taught vnto the kingdome of heauen, is like vnto an householder, which bringeth foorth out of his treasure things both newe and olde.
Ait illis: Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno cælorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera.
53 And it came to passe, that when Iesus had ended these parables, he departed thence,
Et factum est, cum consummasset Jesus parabolas istas, transiit inde.
54 And came into his owne countrey, and taught them in their Synagogue, so that they were astonied, and saide, Whence commeth this wisdome and great woorkes vnto this man?
Et veniens in patriam suam, docebat eos in synagogis eorum, ita ut mirarentur, et dicerent: Unde huic sapientia hæc, et virtutes?
55 Is not this the carpenters sonne? Is not his mother called Marie, and his brethren Iames and Ioses, and Simon and Iudas?
Nonne hic est fabri filius? nonne mater ejus dicitur Maria, et fratres ejus, Jacobus, et Joseph, et Simon, et Judas?
56 And are not his sisters all with vs? Whence then hath he all these things?
et sorores ejus, nonne omnes apud nos sunt? unde ergo huic omnia ista?
57 And they were offended with him. Then Iesus said to them, A Prophet is not without honour, saue in his owne countrey, and in his owne house.
Et scandalizabantur in eo. Jesus autem dixit eis: Non est propheta sine honore, nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua.
58 And he did not many great woorkes there, for their vnbeliefes sake.
Et non fecit ibi virtutes multas propter incredulitatem illorum.
