Matthew 13
1 That same day Jesus, [along with us] disciples, left the house [where he was teaching and went] to [Galilee lake]. He sat down there,
Ana knareke Jisasi'a nompinti atreno vuno, tiru ankenare umani'ne.
2 and a very large crowd gathered around him to [listen to his teaching]. So, [in order that they would not jostle him] (OR, [to speak to the people better]), he got into a boat and sat down [to teach them]. The crowd stood on the shore [and was listening].
Rama'a vahe'mo'za mani'nere umani korave hazageno, votifi marerino umanige'za, rama'a vahe'mo'za tiru ankenare oti'naze.
3 He was telling them many parables. [One of the parables] that he told them was this: “Listen! A man went out [to his field] to sow [some seeds].
Ana huteno Rama'a fronka kea anage huno zamasmi'ne. Antahiho hoza kri ne'mo'a avimza krinaku vu'ne.
4 As he was scattering [them over the soil], some [of the] seeds fell on the path. Then some birds came and ate those seeds.
Ana'ma huno avimzama negrigeno'a, mago'a avimzamo'a kamofo ankinafi evuramigeno, nama zagamo eno eme ne'ne.
5 Other [seeds] fell on ground where there was not much soil [on top of the] rock. Those seeds sprouted very soon, [because the sun quickly warmed] the shallow soil.
Mago'a avimzamo'a havege huno osi'a mopa me'nefi evurami'ne. Na'ankure osi'a mopa me'negeno, ame huno hageno mareri'ne.
6 But when [the young plants came up], they were scorched by the sun, and they withered because they did not have [deep] roots.
Hianagi zagemo hanatino mrerino temagi atre'ne, na'ankure rafu'namo krakaka kigeno, zagemo te osapare'ne.
7 Other seeds fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together with the young plants], and [they] crowded out [the plants].
Hagi mago'a avimzamo'za ave'ave trazampi evuramigeno, ana ave'ave trazamo hageno rentrako higeno haviza hu'ne.
8 [But] other seeds fell on good soil, and [the plants grew and] produced [a lot of] grain. Some [plants produced] 100 times [as many seeds as were planted]. Some [plants produced] 60 times [as much]. Some [plants produced] 30 times [as much].
Hu'neanagi mago'amo'a knare mopafi evuramino ne'zana rente'ne. Mago'amo'a 100'a rentegeno, mago'amo'a 60'a rentegeno, mago'amo'a 30'a rente'ne.
9 If you want to understand this [MTY], you should consider [carefully what I have just said].”
Iza'o agesama me'nenimo'a ama kea antahise hino.
10 [We] disciples approached Jesus and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you speak to the crowd?”
Hagi agri'ma amage'ma nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za Jisasinte e'za anage hu'za antahige'naze, Nahigenka fronka kefintikera nezmasmi'ne?
11 He answered [us] saying, “God [EUP/MTY] is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [over people’s lives]. But he has not revealed it to others.
Hazageno Jisasi'a ke nona huno, Anumzamofo kumapi oku'a me'nea zantamina kehogu tamaveri nehie. Hianagi zamagrira zameri nosie.
12 Those who [think about what I say and] understand [it], God will enable them to understand more. But those who do not [think carefully about what I say] will forget even what they already know.
Iza'o mago'azama eri nenimofona, mago'ene ami'nigeno, agra eri avitegahie. Iza'o e'ori nenimofona, mago'a zama eri'neniana hanregahie.
13 That is why I use parables when I speak to people, because although they see [what I do], they do not perceive [what it means], and although they hear [what I say], they do not really understand [what it means].
Ama'na agafare, Nagra fronka kefintira nezmasmue. Na'ankure zamagra negazanagi keso'e osugahaze, antahigahazanagi antahi so'e hu'za amara osugahaze.
14 What these people do completely fulfills what [God told] the prophet Isaiah [to say long ago to the people who did not] try to understand what he said, You will hear [what I say], but you will not understand it. You will keep seeing [what I do], but you will not understand [what it means] [DOU].
E'inama hu'naza'zamo'a kasnampa ne' Aisaia hu'nea nanekemo'a avufa'a fore hu'ne, Tamagra antahigahazanagi, amara osugahaze. Tamagra kegahazanagi, keanke oregahaze.
15 [God also said to Isaiah], These people have become unresponsive [MTY] [to what they see me do and to what they hear me say]. They listen unwillingly [MTY] [to what I say], and they do not pay attention to [MTY] [what I do]. If it were not so, they would perceive [MTY] [what I am doing], they would understand [MTY] [what I say to them], and they would turn [away from their sinful lives] and turn [to me], and I would save them [from being punished for their sins] [MET].
Na'ankure vahe'mokizmi zmarimpamo hanavetino anaki'ne. Higeno zmagesareti'ma kema antahizamo'a amuho hunezmantege'za zmua asu'nekiza, zmurgaretira zamua onke'za, zmagesa nontahiza, zamagu'aretira amara nosazankiza, zamagu'a rukrehera osnagena, Nagra zamaza osugahue. (Ais 6:9-10.)
16 But as for you, God is pleased with you because you [SYN] have seen [what I have done] and because you [SYN] understand [what I say] [DOU].
Hianagi tamagra ketama antahitama hazazante Anumzamo asomu huneramante. Na'ankure tamavua negeta tamagesamo'a nentahie.
17 Note this: Many prophets and righteous people [who lived long ago] longed to see what you are seeing [me do], but they did not see it. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but they did not hear [what you hear me say].” [DOU]
Tamage hu'na neramasmue, korapa rama'a kasnampa vahe'mo'zane, fatgo vahe'mo'za amama negaza'za kenaku hu'nazanagi onke'za, nentahizankea, antahinaku hu'nazanagi ontahi'naze.
18 “[Since God wants] you [to understand what I am teaching you], listen as I [explain] the parable about the man who sowed [seeds in various kinds of soil].
Jisasi'a mago'ene anage hu'ne, Antahiho, Avimza ase'nea fronka kemofo agu'agesa'a, ama'ne,
19 The people who hear about how God rules over people’s lives and do not understand [what they have heard] are [like] the path where [some of] the seeds fell. [Satan], the Evil One, comes and causes these people to forget [MET] what they have heard [MET].
Mago'a vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kumamofo knare naneke nentahi'za, antahi ama osaza nagamofona, Sata'a eno zamarimpafi me'nea kea emeri atre'ne. Amana hu'ne, kamofo ankinafi avimza kri'nea kna hu'ne.
20 [Some people are like the] shallow soil on top of rock. When they hear God’s message, they immediately accept it joyfully.
Mago avimazamo have mopafi evurami'neana, amanahu kna vaheku hu'noe. Anumzamofo naneke nentahino, ame'ama huno muse hu'ne.
21 [But because it does not penetrate deeply into their inner beings, they believe it for only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When they are treated badly and caused to suffer because they believe [God’s message], they soon stop believing [it].
Ana hianagi rafu'na uorminegeno, osi'a kna mani'negeno ana nanekemofonte rehe'za egeno'a, ana nanekea ame huno atreno traka nehie.
22 [Some people are like the soil that had the roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They hear God’s message, but they desire to be rich, [so they] worry [only] about [MTY, PRS] material things. As a result, they [PRS] forget [God’s] message, and they do not do [IDM] the things that God wants them to do. (aiōn g165)
Hagi ave'ave trazampi evu rmi'nea avimazana anahu kna hu'ne, Anumzamofo kea antahiteno, ama mopafi afufenonku agesa nentahigeno, ana zamo avazu higeno Anumzamofo kemo'a nena raga'a reonte'ne. (aiōn g165)
23 But [some people are like the] good soil where [some of the seeds] fell. [Just like the plants that grew in this soil] produced a lot of grain, [these people] hear my message and understand it. [Some of them] do many things [IDM] [that please God, some do] even more [things that please God, and some do] very many [things that please God].”
Hianagi so'e mopafi kri'nea avimza avimo'a, amanahu vaheku hu'noe, naneke nentahino ana nanenkemofo agu'agesa'a ama nehuno, nena raga'a renteno mago'amo'a 100'a rentegeno, mago'amo 60'a rentegeno, mago'amo 30'a rente'ne.
24 Jesus also told the crowd another parable, [by which he tried to explain that although] God [MTY/EUP] is a king, [he will not immediately judge and punish all the wicked people]. Jesus said, “[God] is like a landowner [who sent his servants] to sow good [wheat] seed in his field.
Jisasi'a anage huno mago'ene fronka ke zamasmi'ne, Anumzamofo kuma'mo'a mago ne'mo hoza'afi knare avimza aseankna hu'ne.
25 While those servants were sleeping [and not watching the field], an enemy of the landowner came and scattered weed [seeds] in the midst of the wheat. Then he left.
Hianagi avimaza aseteno umasenegeno, ha' vahe'amo havi traza'mofo avi ana witi hozafi eme neseno vu'ne.
26 After [the seeds] sprouted and the green plants [grew], the heads of grain began to form. But the weeds also grew.
Anama hutegeno'a witimo hageno raga ome renentegeno, havi trazamo enena hage ama hu'ne.
27 So the servants of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, you [RHQ] [gave us good seeds and those are the ones we] [RHQ] [planted] in your field. So where did the weeds come from?’
Hagi nena nehigeno kazokzo eri'za vahe'amo'za e'za, hoza nefana antahige'za, ramoka kagra knare avimzanke hoza ka'afina kri'nampi? Inankna huno havi trazana hage'ne? hu'za antahige'naze.
28 The landowner said to them, ‘[My] enemy did this.’ His servants said to him, ‘So, do you want us to pull up [the weeds and] put them in a pile?’
Hoza nefa'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Ha' vahetimo anara hu'ne! huno hige'za, kazokzo eri'za vahe'mo'za anage hu'za asmi'naze, knare tatresanketa ome zanegi atregahumpi? hu'za antahige'naze.
29 He said [to them], ‘No, [do not do that, because] you might pull up [some of] the wheat at the same time.
Hianagi hoza nefa'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, a'o tra'za zanefisafima witine zanefigahazanki atrenkeno meno.
30 Let the wheat and the weeds grow together until harvest [time].’ At that time I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather the weeds, tie them into bundles to be burned. Then gather the wheat [and put it] into my barns.’”
Atrenkeno magoka tarega moke hage'ne hoza hamare knare uhanati'o, hozama hamareknare, hoza hamaresaza vahera nagra zamasmigahue. Kotazana havi traza zanegita nofi anakita tevefi kresigu eri atru hiho. Hianagi witi eri atru hutma nezama ante noni'afi eri antegahaze huno zamasami'ne.
31 Jesus also told this parable: “The [number of] (OR, [God’s influence in the lives of]) [people whose] lives God rules over [will continue to grow. It is very much] like mustard seeds grow after a man plants them in his field.
Jisasi'a anage huno mago'ene fronka ke zamasmi'ne, Anumzamofo kumamo'a masteti zafa rgamofo avima'agna hu'neankino, vahe'mo erino hoza'afi negrie.
32 Although mustard seeds are among the smallest of all the seeds [that people plant, here in Israel they become large plants. When the plants have fully grown, they are larger than the other garden plants. They become shrubs that are large enough for birds to build nests in their branches.”]
Mago'a zafa avigna osu'neanki onensa avima'a me'ne. Hianagi ana osi zafamo'a ra huno mago'a hozafima me'nea zantamina agteregeno zafa segeno, Nama'zagamo'za eza no azankunate emegiza amu ante'naze. (Ezi 31:3-14.)
33 Jesus also told this parable: “[The way people who let] God [MTY/EUP] rule their lives [MET] [can influence the world] is like yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
Jisasi'a anage huno mago'ene fronka ke zamasmi'ne, Mona kumamo'a amanahu hu'ne, mago a'mo zisti erino witi flauapi herafinteno kregeno ra hiankna hu'ne.
34 Jesus told the crowd parables [to teach them] all these things. When he spoke [HYP] to them, he habitually used such illustrations.
Jisasi'ma maka kema vea kevufi hu'neana fronka kege zamasmi'ne. Hagi Agra amate kea ozmasmi'ne.
35 By doing that, [he] fulfilled what [God told one of] the prophets to write [long ago]: I will speak [MTY] in parables; I will tell [parables to teach] what I have kept secret since I created the world.
Amanage huno kasnampa ke hu'nea kemofo avufa'a fore hu'ne, Nagra fronka kefintike kea hugahue. Nagra monane mopa fore osu'nereti'ma eno menima ama knare'ma e'neana, oku'a me'nea kea eri ama hugahue. (Sams-Zga 78:2.)
36 After Jesus dismissed the crowds, he went inside. Then [we] disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the parable about the weeds [that grew] in the [wheat] field.”
Ana huteno ana vahe kevua, zamatreno nompi ufre'ne. Agri'ma amage'ma nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za Agrite e'za, anage hu'za asmi'naze, Hozafi hage'nea havi tra'zamofo agu'agesa'a tasmio.
37 He answered, “The one who sows the good seed represents [me], the one who came from heaven.
Hazageno Jisasi'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Knare avimza ase'nea nera, Vahe'mofo Mofavre.
38 The field represents this world [MTY], [where people live]. The seeds [that grew] well represent the people who let God rule their lives [MET]. The weeds represent the people who do what [the devil], the Evil One, [tells them to do].
Hagi hoza, ama mope, knare avimzana, Anumzamofo mofavrermine, havi tra'zana, Sata mofavreramine.
39 The enemy who sowed the weed seeds represents the devil. The [time when the reapers will] harvest [the grain] represents the time when the world will end. The reapers represent the angels. (aiōn g165)
Hagi ha' vahe'mo havi traza kri'neana Sata'e. Hozama hamare kna, mopa vagare kne, hoza hamare vahera, ankero vahezage. (aiōn g165)
40 The weeds are gathered and burned. {The reapers gather the weeds. Then they burn them.} That represents [the judging of people, which God will do] when the world will end. [It will be like this]: (aiōn g165)
Havi traza eri tru hu'za tevereti kre'nazana anahu hu'ne, vagaresia knarera tevefi kregahie. (aiōn g165)
41 I, the one who came from heaven, will send my angels, and they will gather [from everywhere the people] who cause others to quit believing in me [MET] and all those who disobey [God’s] commands.
Ana knarera Vahe'mofo mofavremo'a ankero vahe'a huzmantesige'za, kumi'ma nehu'za vahe'mokizmima zamazeri kumipima nentaza vahera, Agra'a kumapintira zamazeri megi atregahie.
42 They will throw those people into the fires of [hell]. There those people will weep and grind their teeth [because of the great pain that they are suffering]. (questioned)
Hagi zamagrira zamazeri mate vanage'za amuho tevefi mani'ne'za zavira nete'za, zamavera aninkreki hugahaze.
43 [God’s] brightness will shine [on] the people who have lived as he wants them to. It will shine [on them as brightly] as the sun [shines]. It will shine on them in the place where [God], their Father, rules over them. If you want to understand this [MTY], you should think [carefully] about what I have just said.”
Ana'ma hanige'za fatgo vahe'mo'za nezmafa kumapina zagemo remsa hiankna hu'za manigahaze. Iza'o agesama me'ne'nigeno'a, ama naneke antahise hino. (Dan 12:3.)
44 “[What people do who begin to allow] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives is like [what a certain man did to acquire a treasure]. A treasure was hidden in a field by someone {Someone hid a treasure in a field [and never dug it up again]}. When [another] man found it, he hid it [by burying it again in order that no one else would find it]. Being very happy [that he had found something very valuable, he went and] sold all his possessions [to obtain money to buy the field the treasure was in]. He then went and bought the field, [and so he was able to acquire that treasure].
Mona kumamo'a, zago'amo'ma mareri'neaza hozafi frakiankna hu'negeno, mago'mo ome keno eri fore huteno, ete eri franekino, musezamo higeno viazamo miko zama'a zagore ome atre vagareteno, ana mopa ome mi'za hu'ne.
45 Also, what [people do who begin to allow] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives is like [what] a merchant [did who was] looking for good quality pearls [to buy].
Mago'ene mona kumamo'a, feno ne'mo knare kintna me'negeno hakrea kna nehie.
46 When he found one very costly pearl [that was for sale], he sold all his possessions [to acquire enough money to buy that pearl]. Then he [went and] bought it.
Ana hu'neankino zago'amo mareri'nea kintana mago hakeno eri fore'ma huteno'a, ete vuno miko zama'a mizante ome atreno zago erino, ana kintna ome mizase'ne.
47 What God [MTY/EUP] [will do to people who falsely say that they are letting him] rule their lives is like what certain [fishermen] did [with the fish they caught] in a lake, using a large net. They caught all classes [of fish, both useful and worthless fish].
Mago'ene mona kuma'mo'a, noza kuko timpi atreno rama'a ruzahu ruzahu nozame azeriankna hu'ne.
48 When the net was full, the [fishermen] pulled it up onto the shore. Then they sat there and put the useful [fish] into buckets, and threw the worthless ones away.
Hagi avi'matetegeno'a avazu hu'za kasepampi atrete'za, knare nozamea eri'za zuompafi ante'naze. Hianagi havi'za hu'nea nozame'a matevu atre'naze.
49 [What they did in separating the good fish from the bad ones] is like [what will happen to people] when the world ends. The angels will come [to where God is judging people], and will separate the wicked [people] from the righteous [ones]. (aiōn g165)
Anahu kna huno mona mopa vagare knarera ankeromo'za e'za fatgo vahe amu'nompinti keontahi vahera eme zamavare'za, (aiōn g165)
50 They will throw the wicked people into the fire [in hell]. And those wicked people will weep and gnash their teeth [because of the intense pain they are suffering].” (questioned)
tevefi matevu'za zamatresage'za ana kumapina zavi nete'za, zamavera ani kreki hugahaze.
51 [Then Jesus asked us], “Do you understand all these [parables I have told you]?” We said to him,
Tamagra maka kema huana antahi ama nehazafi? Huno zamantahigege'za kenona'a anage hu'za Jisasina asmi'naze, izo.
52 “Yes, [we understand them].” Then he said to us, “Because [you understand all these parables], [you will understand the following parable: You, along with] all others, will teach people what [you heard me say] about God ruling people’s lives. [You will add that to what you formerly learned. You will be] like a manager of a household who takes both new things and old things out of his storage room.”
Jisasi'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, E'ina hu'negu miko kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'mo'za mona kumamofonku e'ina hugahaze hu'za hunezmasamiza vahe'mo'za, nomofo nafa'amo noma'afi ufreno korapa fenozane, kasefa fenozama'a erino atineramia kna nehaze.
53 When Jesus had finished [telling] these parables, he took [us] and left that [area].
Ana fronka kea Jisasi'a zamasmi vagareteno, ana kuma atreno,
54 We went to [Nazareth, his hometown. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day]) he began to teach the people in the Jewish worship house. The result was that the people there were astonished. But [some] said, “[This man is just an ordinary person like us. So] how is it that he knows so much and understands so much [RHQ]? And how is it that he is able to do [such] miracles [RHQ]?
Agra kuma agafa'are Nazareti eno osi mono nompi eme rempi hunezmige'za, antri hu'za anage hu'naze, Ama ne'mo'a knare antahi'zane, kaguvaza eriforehu hankavea igati eri'ne?
55 (He is [just] the son of the carpenter!/Isn’t he [just] the son of the carpenter [that lived here]?) [RHQ] His mother is Mary, and his younger brothers are James, Joseph, Simon and Judas [RHQ]!
Ama kapenta ne'mofo mofavrefi? Nererankura Maria'e nehazafi? Aganahe'za Jemsi ene Josefe ene Saimoni ene Judasizafi?
56 (And his sisters [also live] here in our [town]./Do not his sisters [live] in our [town]?) [RHQ] So how is he able to do all these [miracles]?”
Hagi asarahe'za tagrane omani'nazafi? Inaregati ama ne'mo'a ama maka'zana eri'ne.
57 The people were unable to accept [that] he [was the Messiah. So] Jesus said to them, “[People] honor [me and other] prophets [everywhere else we go], but in [our] hometowns [we are] not [honored], and [even] our own families do not [honor us!]”
Nehu'za antahi haviza hunentageno, Jisasi'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Kasnampa vahe'mofona Agri kumate vahe'mo'zane, maka naga'amo'za ra agi nomize.
58 Jesus did not perform many miracles there because the people did not believe [that he was the Messiah].
