Matthew 13
1 On that day, Jesus, going out of the house, was sitting near the sea:
On that day Yeshua went out of the house, and sat by the lake.
2 and there were gathered unto him, large multitudes, so that, he, into a boat, entered, and was sitting, and, all the multitude, on the beach was standing.
And large crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.
3 And he spake unto them many things, in parables, saying: Lo! the sower went forth to sow, —
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Look, a farmer went out to sow.
4 and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell by the pathway, and, the birds, came, and devoured it;
And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 And, some, fell on the rocky places, where it had not much earth, —and, straightway, it sprang up, because if had no depth of earth;
And others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
6 and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7 And, some, fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up, and choked it;
Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8 But, some, fell upon the good ground, and did yield fruit, —this, indeed a hundred fold, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
Still others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 He that hath ears, let him hear.
He who has ears, let him hear."
10 And the disciples, coming near, said to him, Wherefore, in parables, art thou speaking to them?
Then the talmidim came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
11 And, he, answering, said, Because, unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, —whereas, unto them, hath it not been given.
And answering, he said to them, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but it is not given to them.
12 For, whosoever hath, it shall be given, to him, and he shall be made to abound, —but, whoever hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him?
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.
13 For this reason, in parables, unto them, do I speak, —because, seeing, they see not, and, hearing, they hear not, —neither do they understand.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
14 And, again is being fulfilled in them, the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, —They shall, surely hear, and yet will not understand, and, surely see, and yet not perceive;
And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'In hearing you will hear, but will not understand, and seeing you will see, but not perceive.
15 For the heart of this people hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed, —lest, once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return; when I would certainly heal them.
For the heart of this people has grown dull, and their ears are sluggish in hearing, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn back, and I would heal them.'
16 But happy are, your, eyes, that they see, and your ears, that they hear;
"But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 For, verily, I say unto you—Many prophets and righteous men, have coveted to see what ye see, and have not seen, and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard.
For truly I tell you that many prophets and righteous people 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.
18 Hear, ye, then, the parable of him that sowed: —
"Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
19 When anyone heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the wicked one cometh, and catcheth up that which hath been sown in his heart, —this, is he, by the pathway, sown.
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.
20 And, he on the rocky places sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, and, straightway, with joy, receiveth it;
And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
21 yet hath he no root in himself, but is, only for a season, —and, there arising, tribulation or persecution because of the word, straightway, he findeth cause of stumbling.
yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
22 And, he among the thorns sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, —and, the anxiety of the age and the deceit of riches, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh. (aiōn g165)
And what was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 But, he on the good ground sown, the same, is he who doth hear and understand the word, who, indeed, beareth fruit and produceth, —this, a hundred, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
And what was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who truly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."
24 Another parable, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man sowing good seed in his field;
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field,
25 and, while men were sleeping, his enemy came, and sowed over darnel, in among the wheat, —and away he went.
but while everyone slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
26 And, when the blade shot up, and brought forth, fruit, then, appeared, the darnel also.
But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.
27 And the servants of the householder, coming near, said to him, —Sir! was it not, good seed, thou didst sow in thy field? Whence then hath it, darnel?
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these tares come from?'
28 And he said unto them—An enemy, hath, done this. And they say, unto him—Wilt thou, then, that we go and collect it?
"And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "And the servants asked him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them up?'
29 And, he, saith—Nay! lest, at any time, while collecting the darnel, ye uproot, along with it, the wheat:
"But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the tares, you root up the wheat with them.
30 Suffer both to grow together until the harvest, and at, harvest time, I will say unto the reapers, —Collect ye first, the darnel, and bind it into bundles, with a view to the burning it up; but, the wheat, be gathering it into my barn.
Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
31 Another parable, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field;
32 which, indeed, is, less, than all seeds, but, when grown, is greater than garden-plants, and becometh a tree, —so that the birds of heaven come, and lodge among its branches.
which indeed is least of all the seeds. But when it has grown it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."
33 Another parable, [spake he unto them]: —The kingdom of the heavens is like, unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour until, the whole, was leavened.
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."
34 All these things, spake Jesus in parables, unto the multitudes, and, without a parable, was he speaking, nothing, unto them:
Yeshua spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,
35 that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through the prophet, saying—I will open, in parables, my mouth, I will bring up things hidden from the foundation!
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the beginning of the world."
36 Then, dismissing the multitudes, he went into the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying—Make quite plain to us the parable of the darnel of the field.
Then Yeshua sent the crowds away, and went into the house. His talmidim came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field."
37 And, he, answering, said—He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of Man;
And he answered them, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38 And, the field, is the world, and, the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, —and, the darnel seeds, are the sons of the evil one;
and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the tares are the children of the evil one,
39 And, the enemy that sowed them, is the adversary, and, the harvest, is, the conclusion of an age, and, the reapers, are, messengers. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Just, therefore, as collected is the darnel, and, with fire is burned, so, will it be in the conclusion of the age: — (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will send forth his messengers, and they will collect, out of his kingdom, all the causes of stumbling, and the doers of lawlessness,
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,
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the grinding of teeth.
43 Then, the righteous, will shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear!
Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
44 The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a treasure hid in the field, which a man, finding, hid, —and, by reason of his joy, withdraweth and selleth whatsoever he hath, and buyeth that field.
"The kingdom of heaven is like a 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.
45 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is, like, unto, a merchant, seeking beautiful pearls, —
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 and, finding one very precious pearl, departing, he at once sold all things, whatsoever he had, and bought it.
and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a large drag-net, cast into the sea and gathering of every kind, —
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the lake, and gathered some fish of every kind,
48 which, when it was filled, they dragged up on the beach, and, sitting down, collected the good into vessels, but, the worthless, forth they cast.
which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49 So, will it be in the conclusion of the age: The messengers will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous; (aiōn g165)
So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the grinding of teeth."
51 Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea!
"Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes."
52 And, he, said unto them—Wherefore, every scribe, discipled unto the kingdom of the heavens, is like unto a householder, who putteth forth out of his treasure, things new and old.
And he said to them, "Therefore, every scribe who has been made a talmid in the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things."
53 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he removed from thence;
And it happened that when Yeshua had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 and, coming into his own city, began teaching them in their synagogue, so that with astonishment were they being struck, and were saying—Whence, hath, this one, this wisdom, and the mighty works?
And 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?
55 Is not, this one, the carpenter’s, son? Is not, his mother, called Mary, and are not his brethren—James and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Miriam, and his brothers, Jacob and Joseph and Shim'on and Judah?
56 and, his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence, then hath, this one, all these things?
And are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"
57 And they began to find cause of stumbling in him. But, Jesus, said unto them—A prophet is not without honour, save in his city, and in his house.
And they were offended by him. But Yeshua said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."
58 And he did not, there, many mighty works, because of their unbelief.
And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
