< Matthew 13 >

1 IN that day Jeshu went forth from the house and sat by the sea-side;
εν δε τη ημερα εκεινη εξελθων ο ιησουσ απο τησ οικιασ εκαθητο παρα την θαλασσαν
2 and great multitudes gathered near him, so that he went up and sat in a vessel; and all the multitude were standing on the shore of the sea.
και συνηχθησαν προσ αυτον οχλοι πολλοι ωστε αυτον εισ το πλοιον εμβαντα καθησθαι και πασ ο οχλοσ επι τον αιγιαλον ειστηκει
3 And he discoursed largely to them in parables, and said: Behold, there went forth a sower to sow;
και ελαλησεν αυτοισ πολλα εν παραβολαισ λεγων ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειρειν
4 and as he sowed, some fell by the road-side, and the fowl came and devoured it.
και εν τω σπειρειν αυτον α μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον και ηλθεν τα πετεινα και κατεφαγεν αυτα
5 Another (portion) fell upon the rock, where there was not much soil; and immediately it sprung up, because there was 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 But when the sun was risen, it burned, and, because it had no root, it withered away.
ηλιου δε ανατειλαντοσ εκαυματισθη και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη
7 And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked it.
αλλα δε επεσεν επι τασ ακανθασ και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και απεπνιξαν αυτα
8 And another fell into good earth, and gave fruits, this a hundred, another sixty, and another thirty.
αλλα δε επεσεν επι την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα
9 He who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
10 And his disciples approached, saying to him, Why dost thou speak to them in parables?
και προσελθοντεσ οι μαθηται ειπον αυτω δια τι εν παραβολαισ λαλεισ αυτοισ
11 He replied and said to them, Because unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of heaven, but unto them it is not given.
ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ οτι υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια τησ βασιλειασ των ουρανων εκεινοισ δε ου δεδοται
12 For unto him who hath, it shall be given, and it shall be increased to him: but to him who hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken from him.
οστισ γαρ εχει δοθησεται αυτω και περισσευθησεται οστισ δε ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
13 On this account I speak to them in parables. Hence they see, and (yet) see not; and they hear, and (yet) hear not, neither understand;
δια τουτο εν παραβολαισ αυτοισ λαλω οτι βλεποντεσ ου βλεπουσιν και ακουοντεσ ουκ ακουουσιν ουδε συνιουσιν
14 and accomplished in them is the prophecy of Eshaia, who said, that hearing they should hear, but not understand, and seeing they should see, but not know.
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 is become gross, and with their ears they have heard heavily, and their eyes they have shut, that they may not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor understand with their hearts, and be converted, and I 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 But blessed are your eyes which see, and your ears which hear:
υμων δε μακαριοι οι οφθαλμοι οτι βλεπουσιν και τα ωτα υμων οτι ακουει
17 for, Amen I say unto you, that many prophets and just ones have desired to behold what you see, and have not beheld, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard.
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, then, attend to the comparison of the seed:
υμεισ ουν ακουσατε την παραβολην του σπειροντοσ
19 (When) any one who heareth the doctrine of the kingdom doth not understand it, there cometh the evil (one), and snatcheth away the doctrine that was sown in his heart: this is what by the road-side was sown.
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 But that which was sown upon the rock is he who heareth the word, and at once with joy apprehendeth it.
ο δε επι τα πετρωδη σπαρεισ ουτοσ εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και ευθυσ μετα χαρασ λαμβανων αυτον
21 Yet hath he no root in him, but is (only) for a time; and when affliction or persecution occurs on account of the doctrine, he is quickly offended.
ουκ εχει δε ριζαν εν εαυτω αλλα προσκαιροσ εστιν γενομενησ δε θλιψεωσ η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθυσ σκανδαλιζεται
22 That sown the place of thorns, is he who heareth the word, but the anxious thought of this world and the illusions of riches stifle the word in him, and he is without fruits. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
23 But that which upon good ground was sown is he who heareth my doctrine, and understandeth (it), and giveth fruits, and produceth, whether a hundred, or sixty, or thirty fold.
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 comparison he allegorized unto them, and said: The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man who sowed 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 slept, came his adversary, and sowed zizania among the wheat, and went.
εν δε τω καθευδειν τουσ ανθρωπουσ ηλθεν αυτου ο εχθροσ και εσπειρεν ζιζανια ανα μεσον του σιτου και απηλθεν
26 And when the plant sprang up and produced fruit, then appeared the zizania.
οτε δε εβλαστησεν ο χορτοσ και καρπον εποιησεν τοτε εφανη και τα ζιζανια
27 And the labourers of the house-lord drew near and said to him, Our lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? From whence then is the zizania in it?
προσελθοντεσ δε οι δουλοι του οικοδεσποτου ειπον αυτω κυριε ουχι καλον σπερμα εσπειρασ εν τω σω αγρω ποθεν ουν εχει ζιζανια
28 But he said to them, A foeman hath done this. The labourers say to him, Art thou willing that we go and gather them?
ο δε εφη αυτοισ εχθροσ ανθρωποσ τουτο εποιησεν οι δε δουλοι ειπον αυτω θελεισ ουν απελθοντεσ συλλεξομεν αυτα
29 But he said to them, (No, ) lest, when ye gather the zizania, you root out with them the wheat also.
ο δε εφη ου μηποτε συλλεγοντεσ τα ζιζανια εκριζωσητε αμα αυτοισ τον σιτον
30 Leave (them), that both may grow together till the harvest; and in the season of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather first the zizania, and bind them (together in) bundles, that they may burn; but the wheat collect into my barns.
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 comparison allegorized he to them, and said: The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard, which a man took and 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 This is less than all other seeds; but when it has grown, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the fowl of the heavens come (and) build 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 parable he spake to them: The kingdom of heaven resembles that leaven which a woman took and hid in three satas 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 spake Jeshu in parables to the multitude; and without a parable he did not speak with them.
ταυτα παντα ελαλησεν ο ιησουσ εν παραβολαισ τοισ οχλοισ και χωρισ παραβολησ ουκ ελαλει αυτοισ
35 That there should be fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, who said, I will open my mouth in comparisons, and pour forth things hidden from before 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 Jeshu dismissed the multitudes, and came into the house; and his disciples drew near him, and said to him, Expound to us the comparison of the zizania 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 He answered and said to them, He who sowed the good seed is the Son of man.
ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ ο σπειρων το καλον σπερμα εστιν ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου
38 The field is the world. Now, the good seed are the sons of the kingdom, but the zizania 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 The adversary who sowed them is Satana; the harvest is the consummation of the world; the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
ο δε εχθροσ ο σπειρασ αυτα εστιν ο διαβολοσ ο δε θερισμοσ συντελεια του αιωνοσ εστιν οι δε θερισται αγγελοι εισιν (aiōn g165)
40 As, therefore, the zizania are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be in the completion of this world. (aiōn g165)
ωσπερ ουν συλλεγεται τα ζιζανια και πυρι καιεται ουτωσ εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνοσ τουτου (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall collect from his kingdom all those who cause offence, and all (who) work iniquity,
αποστελει ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου τουσ αγγελουσ αυτου και συλλεξουσιν εκ τησ βασιλειασ αυτου παντα τα σκανδαλα και τουσ ποιουντασ την ανομιαν
42 and shall throw them into a furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
και βαλουσιν αυτουσ εισ την καμινον του πυροσ εκει εσται ο κλαυθμοσ και ο βρυγμοσ των οδοντων
43 Then the just shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who hath 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 heaven is like a treasure which was hidden in a field, (and) which a man found and concealed, and from joy went and sold all that he had, and bought 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 heaven is like unto a man a merchant, who sought goodly pearls;
παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω εμπορω ζητουντι καλουσ μαργαριτασ
46 but who, when he had found one pearl of exceeding price, went, sold all that he had, and bought it.
οσ ευρων ενα πολυτιμον μαργαριτην απελθων πεπρακεν παντα οσα ειχεν και ηγορασεν αυτον
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, which was thrown into the sea, and from every kind collected.
παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων σαγηνη βληθειση εισ την θαλασσαν και εκ παντοσ γενουσ συναγαγουση
48 And when it was full, they drew to the shore, and sat down, and selected; and the good they threw into vessels, and the bad they cast without.
ην οτε επληρωθη αναβιβασαντεσ επι τον αιγιαλον και καθισαντεσ συνελεξαν τα καλα εισ αγγεια τα δε σαπρα εξω εβαλον
49 Thus shall it be at the consummation of the world. The angels shall go forth, and separate the evil from among the just, (aiōn g165)
ουτωσ εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνοσ εξελευσονται οι αγγελοι και αφοριουσιν τουσ πονηρουσ εκ μεσου των δικαιων (aiōn g165)
50 and cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
και βαλουσιν αυτουσ εισ την καμινον του πυροσ εκει εσται ο κλαυθμοσ και ο βρυγμοσ των οδοντων
51 Jeshu said to them, Have you understood all these? They say to him, Yes, our Lord.
λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ συνηκατε ταυτα παντα λεγουσιν αυτω ναι κυριε
52 He saith to them, On this account every scribe who is learned in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man a house-lord, who bringeth forth from his treasuries the new and the 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 when Jeshu had finished these parables, he passed from thence,
και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο ιησουσ τασ παραβολασ ταυτασ μετηρεν εκειθεν
54 and came to his city, and taught them in their synagogues, so that they were astounded and said, Whence hath he (Whence to him) this wisdom and these powers?
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 not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mariam, and his brothers, Jakub, and Josi, and Shemun, and Jehuda?
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, all, are they not with us? Whence to this one all these?
και αι αδελφαι αυτου ουχι πασαι προσ ημασ εισιν ποθεν ουν τουτω ταυτα παντα
57 And they were offended with him. But Jeshu said to them, No prophet is contemned except in his own city, 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 many miracles there on account of their unbelief.
και ουκ εποιησεν εκει δυναμεισ πολλασ δια την απιστιαν αυτων
