< Matthew 13 >
1 And in that day Jesus, having gone forth from the house, was sitting by the sea,
εν δε τη ημερα εκεινη εξελθων ο ιησουσ απο τησ οικιασ εκαθητο παρα την θαλασσαν
2 and gathered together to Him were many multitudes, so that He having gone into the boat sat down, and all the multitude on the beach stood,
και συνηχθησαν προσ αυτον οχλοι πολλοι ωστε αυτον εισ το πλοιον εμβαντα καθησθαι και πασ ο οχλοσ επι τον αιγιαλον ειστηκει
3 and He spoke to them many things in allegories, saying, “Behold, the sower went forth to sow,
και ελαλησεν αυτοισ πολλα εν παραβολαισ λεγων ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειρειν
4 and in his sowing, some indeed fell by the way, and the birds having come, devoured them,
και εν τω σπειρειν αυτον α μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον και ηλθεν τα πετεινα και κατεφαγεν αυτα
5 and others fell on the rocky places where they did not have much earth, and immediately they sprang forth, through having no depth of earth,
αλλα δε επεσεν επι τα πετρωδη οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην και ευθεωσ εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθοσ γησ
6 and the sun having risen they were scorched, and through having no root, they withered,
ηλιου δε ανατειλαντοσ εκαυματισθη και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη
7 and others fell on the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them,
αλλα δε επεσεν επι τασ ακανθασ και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και απεπνιξαν αυτα
8 and others fell on the good ground, and were giving fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.
αλλα δε επεσεν επι την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα
9 He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”
ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
10 And the disciples having come near, said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in allegories?”
και προσελθοντεσ οι μαθηται ειπον αυτω δια τι εν παραβολαισ λαλεισ αυτοισ
11 And He answering said to them that, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, and to these it has not been given,
ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ οτι υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια τησ βασιλειασ των ουρανων εκεινοισ δε ου δεδοται
12 for whoever has, it will be given to him, and he will have overabundance, and whoever has not, even that which he has will be taken from him.
οστισ γαρ εχει δοθησεται αυτω και περισσευθησεται οστισ δε ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
13 Because of this, in allegories I speak to them, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor understand,
δια τουτο εν παραβολαισ αυτοισ λαλω οτι βλεποντεσ ου βλεπουσιν και ακουοντεσ ουκ ακουουσιν ουδε συνιουσιν
14 and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah that says, With hearing you will hear, and you will not understand, and seeing you will see, and you will not perceive,
και αναπληρουται αυτοισ η προφητεια ησαιου η λεγουσα ακοη ακουσετε και ου μη συνητε και βλεποντεσ βλεψετε και ου μη ιδητε
15 for the heart of this people was made obtuse, and with the ears they barely heard, and they closed their eyes, lest they might see with the eyes, and might hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them.
επαχυνθη γαρ η καρδια του λαου τουτου και τοισ ωσιν βαρεωσ ηκουσαν και τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτων εκαμμυσαν μηποτε ιδωσιν τοισ οφθαλμοισ και τοισ ωσιν ακουσωσιν και τη καρδια συνωσιν και επιστρεψωσιν και ιασομαι αυτουσ
16 And blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear,
υμων δε μακαριοι οι οφθαλμοι οτι βλεπουσιν και τα ωτα υμων οτι ακουει
17 for truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see that which you look on, and they did not see, and to hear that which you hear, and they did not hear.
αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν οτι πολλοι προφηται και δικαιοι επεθυμησαν ιδειν α βλεπετε και ουκ ειδον και ακουσαι α ακουετε και ουκ ηκουσαν
18 You, therefore, hear the allegory of the sower:
υμεισ ουν ακουσατε την παραβολην του σπειροντοσ
19 Everyone hearing the word of the kingdom, and not understanding—the evil one comes, and snatches that which has been sown in his heart; this is that sown by the way.
παντοσ ακουοντοσ τον λογον τησ βασιλειασ και μη συνιεντοσ ερχεται ο πονηροσ και αρπαζει το εσπαρμενον εν τη καρδια αυτου ουτοσ εστιν ο παρα την οδον σπαρεισ
20 And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who is hearing the word, and immediately with joy is receiving it,
ο δε επι τα πετρωδη σπαρεισ ουτοσ εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και ευθυσ μετα χαρασ λαμβανων αυτον
21 and he has no root in himself, but is temporary, and persecution or tribulation having happened because of the word, immediately he is stumbled.
ουκ εχει δε ριζαν εν εαυτω αλλα προσκαιροσ εστιν γενομενησ δε θλιψεωσ η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθυσ σκανδαλιζεται
22 And that sown toward the thorns, this is he who is hearing the word, and the anxiety of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, chokes the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn )
ο δε εισ τασ ακανθασ σπαρεισ ουτοσ εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και η μεριμνα του αιωνοσ τουτου και η απατη του πλουτου συμπνιγει τον λογον και ακαρποσ γινεται (aiōn )
23 And that sown on the good ground: this is he who is hearing the word, and is understanding, who indeed bears fruit, and makes, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.”
ο δε επι την γην την καλην σπαρεισ ουτοσ εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και συνιων οσ δη καρποφορει και ποιει ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα
24 Another allegory He set before them, saying, “The kingdom of the heavens was likened to a man sowing good seed in his field,
αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν αυτοισ λεγων ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω σπειροντι καλον σπερμα εν τω αγρω αυτου
25 and while men are sleeping, his enemy came and sowed darnel in the midst of the wheat, and went away,
εν δε τω καθευδειν τουσ ανθρωπουσ ηλθεν αυτου ο εχθροσ και εσπειρεν ζιζανια ανα μεσον του σιτου και απηλθεν
26 and when the herb sprang up, and yielded fruit, then appeared also the darnel.
οτε δε εβλαστησεν ο χορτοσ και καρπον εποιησεν τοτε εφανη και τα ζιζανια
27 And the servants of the householder, having come near, said to him, Lord, did you not sow good seed in your field? From where then does it have the darnel?
προσελθοντεσ δε οι δουλοι του οικοδεσποτου ειπον αυτω κυριε ουχι καλον σπερμα εσπειρασ εν τω σω αγρω ποθεν ουν εχει ζιζανια
28 And he says to them, A man, an enemy, did this; and the servants said to him, Will you, then, [that] having gone away we may gather it up?
ο δε εφη αυτοισ εχθροσ ανθρωποσ τουτο εποιησεν οι δε δουλοι ειπον αυτω θελεισ ουν απελθοντεσ συλλεξομεν αυτα
29 And he said, No, lest—gathering up the darnel—you root up with it the wheat;
ο δε εφη ου μηποτε συλλεγοντεσ τα ζιζανια εκριζωσητε αμα αυτοισ τον σιτον
30 permit both to grow together until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the darnel, and bind it in bundles, to burn it, and the wheat gather up into my storehouse.”
αφετε συναυξανεσθαι αμφοτερα μεχρι του θερισμου και εν καιρω του θερισμου ερω τοισ θερισταισ συλλεξατε πρωτον τα ζιζανια και δησατε αυτα εισ δεσμασ προσ το κατακαυσαι αυτα τον δε σιτον συναγαγετε εισ την αποθηκην μου
31 Another allegory He set before them, saying, “The kingdom of the heavens is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, sowed in his field,
αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν αυτοισ λεγων ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων κοκκω σιναπεωσ ον λαβων ανθρωποσ εσπειρεν εν τω αγρω αυτου
32 which less, indeed, is than all the seeds, but when it may be grown, is greatest of the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and rest in its branches.”
ο μικροτερον μεν εστιν παντων των σπερματων οταν δε αυξηθη μειζον των λαχανων εστιν και γινεται δενδρον ωστε ελθειν τα πετεινα του ουρανου και κατασκηνουν εν τοισ κλαδοισ αυτου
33 Another allegory He spoke to them: “The kingdom of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.”
αλλην παραβολην ελαλησεν αυτοισ ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ζυμη ην λαβουσα γυνη εκρυψεν εισ αλευρου σατα τρια εωσ ου εζυμωθη ολον
34 All these things Jesus spoke in allegories to the multitudes, and without an allegory He was not speaking to them,
ταυτα παντα ελαλησεν ο ιησουσ εν παραβολαισ τοισ οχλοισ και χωρισ παραβολησ ουκ ελαλει αυτοισ
35 that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open in allegories My mouth, I will utter things having been hidden from the foundation of the world.”
οπωσ πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου λεγοντοσ ανοιξω εν παραβολαισ το στομα μου ερευξομαι κεκρυμμενα απο καταβολησ κοσμου
36 Then having let away the multitudes, Jesus came into the house, and His disciples came near to Him, saying, “Explain to us the allegory of the darnel of the field.”
τοτε αφεισ τουσ οχλουσ ηλθεν εισ την οικιαν ο ιησουσ και προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντεσ φρασον ημιν την παραβολην των ζιζανιων του αγρου
37 And He answering said to them, “He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Man,
ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ ο σπειρων το καλον σπερμα εστιν ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου
38 and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, and the darnel are the sons of the evil one,
ο δε αγροσ εστιν ο κοσμοσ το δε καλον σπερμα ουτοι εισιν οι υιοι τησ βασιλειασ τα δε ζιζανια εισιν οι υιοι του πονηρου
39 and the enemy who sowed them is the Devil, and the harvest is [the] full end of the age, and the reapers are messengers. (aiōn )
ο δε εχθροσ ο σπειρασ αυτα εστιν ο διαβολοσ ο δε θερισμοσ συντελεια του αιωνοσ εστιν οι δε θερισται αγγελοι εισιν (aiōn )
40 As, then, the darnel is gathered up, and is burned with fire, so will it be in the full end of this age; (aiōn )
ωσπερ ουν συλλεγεται τα ζιζανια και πυρι καιεται ουτωσ εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνοσ τουτου (aiōn )
41 the Son of Man will send forth His messengers, and they will gather up out of His kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing the lawlessness,
αποστελει ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου τουσ αγγελουσ αυτου και συλλεξουσιν εκ τησ βασιλειασ αυτου παντα τα σκανδαλα και τουσ ποιουντασ την ανομιαν
42 and will cast them into the furnace of the fire; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
και βαλουσιν αυτουσ εισ την καμινον του πυροσ εκει εσται ο κλαυθμοσ και ο βρυγμοσ των οδοντων
43 Then will the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.
τοτε οι δικαιοι εκλαμψουσιν ωσ ο ηλιοσ εν τη βασιλεια του πατροσ αυτων ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
44 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to treasure hid in the field, which a man having found, hid, and from his joy goes, and all, as much as he has, he sells, and buys that field.
παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων θησαυρω κεκρυμμενω εν τω αγρω ον ευρων ανθρωποσ εκρυψεν και απο τησ χαρασ αυτου υπαγει και παντα οσα εχει πωλει και αγοραζει τον αγρον εκεινον
45 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, a merchant, seeking good pearls,
παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω εμπορω ζητουντι καλουσ μαργαριτασ
46 who having found one pearl of great price, having gone away, has sold all, as much as he had, and bought it.
οσ ευρων ενα πολυτιμον μαργαριτην απελθων πεπρακεν παντα οσα ειχεν και ηγορασεν αυτον
47 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered together of every kind,
παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων σαγηνη βληθειση εισ την θαλασσαν και εκ παντοσ γενουσ συναγαγουση
48 which, when it was filled, having drawn up again on the beach, and having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, and the bad they cast out,
ην οτε επληρωθη αναβιβασαντεσ επι τον αιγιαλον και καθισαντεσ συνελεξαν τα καλα εισ αγγεια τα δε σαπρα εξω εβαλον
49 so will it be in the full end of the age, the messengers will come forth and separate the evil out of the midst of the righteous, (aiōn )
ουτωσ εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνοσ εξελευσονται οι αγγελοι και αφοριουσιν τουσ πονηρουσ εκ μεσου των δικαιων (aiōn )
50 and will cast them into the furnace of the fire; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.”
και βαλουσιν αυτουσ εισ την καμινον του πυροσ εκει εσται ο κλαυθμοσ και ο βρυγμοσ των οδοντων
51 Jesus says to them, “Did you understand all these?” They say to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ συνηκατε ταυτα παντα λεγουσιν αυτω ναι κυριε
52 And He said to them, “Because of this, every scribe having been discipled in regard to the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.”
ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ δια τουτο πασ γραμματευσ μαθητευθεισ εισ την βασιλειαν των ουρανων ομοιοσ εστιν ανθρωπω οικοδεσποτη οστισ εκβαλλει εκ του θησαυρου αυτου καινα και παλαια
53 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these allegories, He removed from there,
και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο ιησουσ τασ παραβολασ ταυτασ μετηρεν εκειθεν
54 and having come to His own country, He was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and were saying, “From where to this One this wisdom and the mighty works?
και ελθων εισ την πατριδα αυτου εδιδασκεν αυτουσ εν τη συναγωγη αυτων ωστε εκπληττεσθαι αυτουσ και λεγειν ποθεν τουτω η σοφια αυτη και αι δυναμεισ
55 Is this not the carpenter’s Son? Is His mother not called Mary, and His brothers James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
ουχ ουτοσ εστιν ο του τεκτονοσ υιοσ ουχι η μητηρ αυτου λεγεται μαριαμ και οι αδελφοι αυτου ιακωβοσ και ιωσησ και σιμων και ιουδασ
56 And His sisters—are they not all with us? From where, then, to this One all these?”
και αι αδελφαι αυτου ουχι πασαι προσ ημασ εισιν ποθεν ουν τουτω ταυτα παντα
57 And they were stumbled at Him. And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and in his own house”:
και εσκανδαλιζοντο εν αυτω ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ ουκ εστιν προφητησ ατιμοσ ει μη εν τη πατριδι αυτου και εν τη οικια αυτου
58 and He did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.
και ουκ εποιησεν εκει δυναμεισ πολλασ δια την απιστιαν αυτων
