< Matthew 13 >

1 The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
Ní ọjọ́ kan náà, Jesu kúrò ní ilé, ó jókòó sí etí Òkun.
2 And great multitudes were gathered to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn péjọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó fi bọ́ sínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, ó jókòó, gbogbo ènìyàn sì dúró létí Òkun.
3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
Nígbà náà ni ó fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ òwe bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀, wí pé, “Àgbẹ̀ kan jáde lọ gbin irúgbìn sínú oko rẹ̀.
4 And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them:
Bí ó sì ti gbin irúgbìn náà, díẹ̀ bọ́ sí ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà, àwọn ẹyẹ sì wá, wọ́n sì jẹ ẹ́.
5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
Díẹ̀ bọ́ sórí ilẹ̀ orí àpáta, níbi ti kò sí erùpẹ̀ púpọ̀. Àwọn irúgbìn náà sì dàgbàsókè kíákíá, nítorí erùpẹ̀ kò pọ̀ lórí wọn.
6 And when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had not root, they withered.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí oòrùn gòkè, oòrùn gbígbóná jó wọn, gbogbo wọn sì rọ, wọ́n kú nítorí wọn kò ni gbòǹgbò.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
Àwọn irúgbìn mìíràn bọ́ sí àárín ẹ̀gún, ẹ̀gún sì dàgbà, ó sì fún wọn pa.
8 But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, some thirty-fold.
Ṣùgbọ́n díẹ̀ tó bọ́ sórí ilẹ̀ rere, ó sì so èso, òmíràn ọgọ́rùn-ún, òmíràn ọgọ́tọ̀ọ̀ta, òmíràn ọgbọọgbọ̀n, ni ìlọ́po èyí ti ó gbìn.
9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Ẹni tí ó bá létí, kí ó gbọ́.”
10 And the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọ́n bí i pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ ń fi òwe bá àwọn ènìyàn sọ̀rọ̀?”
11 He answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Ó sì da wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ni a ti fi fún láti mọ ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ ìjọba ọ̀run, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe fún wọn.
12 For whoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ní, òun ni a ó fún sí i, yóò sì ní lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n lọ́wọ́ ẹni tí kò ní, ni a ó ti gbà èyí kékeré tí ó ní náà.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Ìdí nìyìí tí mo fi ń fi òwe bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀: “Ní ti rí rí, wọn kò rí; ní ti gbígbọ́ wọn kò gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì yé wọn.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
Sí ara wọn ni a ti mú àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ wòlíì Isaiah ṣẹ: “‘Ní gbígbọ́ ẹ̀yin yóò gbọ́ ṣùgbọ́n kì yóò sì yé yín; ní rí rí ẹ̀yin yóò rí, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì mòye.
15 For this people's heart is become gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Nítorí àyà àwọn ènìyàn yìí sébọ́ etí wọn sì wúwo láti gbọ́ ojú wọn ni wọ́n sì dì nítorí kí àwọn má ba à fi ojú wọn rí kí wọ́n má ba à fi etí wọn gbọ́ kí wọn má ba à fi àyà wọn mọ̀ òye, kí wọn má ba à yípadà, kí èmi ba à le mú wọn láradá.’
16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìbùkún ni fún ojú yín, nítorí wọ́n ríran, àti fún etí yín, nítorí ti wọ́n gbọ́.
17 For verily I say to you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [the things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [the things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn wòlíì àti ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ti fẹ́ rí ohun tí ẹ̀yin ti rí, ki wọ́n sì gbọ́ ohun tí ẹ ti gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò ṣe é ṣe fún wọn.
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
“Nítorí náà, ẹ fi etí sí ohun tí òwe afúnrúgbìn túmọ̀ sí,
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.
nígbà tí ẹnikẹ́ni bá gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ nípa ìjọba ọ̀run ṣùgbọ́n tí kò yé e, lẹ́yìn náà èṣù á wá, a sì gba èyí tí a fún sí ọkàn rẹ̀ kúrò. Èyí ni irúgbìn ti a fún sí ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà.
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and immediately with joy receiveth it;
Ẹni tí ó sì gba irúgbìn tí ó bọ́ sí ilẹ̀ orí àpáta, ni ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, lọ́gán, ó sì fi ayọ̀ gba ọ̀rọ̀ náà.
21 Yet he hath not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, forthwith he is offended.
Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí kò ní gbòǹgbò, ó wà fún ìgbà díẹ̀; nígbà tí wàhálà àti inúnibíni bá dìde nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ náà ní ojú kan náà yóò sì kọsẹ̀.
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
Ẹni tí ó si gba irúgbìn tí ó bọ́ sí àárín ẹ̀gún ni ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àníyàn ayé yìí, ìtànjẹ, ọrọ̀ sì fún ọ̀rọ̀ náà pa, ọ̀rọ̀ náà kò so èso nínú rẹ̀. (aiōn g165)
23 But he that receiveth seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundred fold, some sixty, some thirty.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó gba irúgbìn tí ó bọ́ sí orí ilẹ̀ rere ni ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, tí ó sì yé e; òun sì so èso òmíràn ọgọ́rọ̀ọ̀rùn, òmíràn ọgọ́tọ̀ọ̀ta, òmíràn ọgbọọgbọ̀n.”
24 Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field:
Jesu tún pa òwe mìíràn fún wọn: “Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí àgbẹ̀ kan tí ó gbin irúgbìn rere sí oko rẹ̀,
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and departed.
ṣùgbọ́n ní òru ọjọ́ kan, nígbà tí ó sùn, ọ̀tá rẹ̀ wá sí oko náà ó sì gbin èpò sáàrín alikama, ó sì bá tirẹ̀ lọ.
26 But when the blade had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Nígbà tí alikama náà bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí dàgbà, tí ó sì so èso, nígbà náà ni èpò náà fi ara hàn.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
“Àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ àgbẹ̀ náà wá, wọ́n sọ fún un pé, ‘Ọ̀gá, irúgbìn rere kọ́ ni ìwọ ha gbìn sí oko rẹ nì? Báwo ni èpò ṣe wà níbẹ̀ nígbà náà?’
28 He said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them?
“Ó sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ọ̀tá ni ó ṣe èyí.’ “Àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ tún bí i pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ha fẹ́ kí a fa èpò náà tu kúrò?’
29 But he said, No; lest while ye gather the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
“Ó dá wọn lóhùn pé, ‘Rárá, nítorí bí ẹ̀yin bá ń tu èpò kúrò, ẹ ó tu alikama dànù pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí àwọn méjèèjì máa dàgbà pọ̀, títí di àsìkò ìkórè. Èmi yóò sọ fún àwọn olùkórè náà láti kọ́kọ́ ṣa àwọn èpò kúrò kí wọ́n sì dìwọ́n ní ìtí, kí a sì sun wọn, kí wọ́n sì kó alikama sínú àká mi.’”
31 Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Jesu tún pa òwe mìíràn fún wọn: “Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí èso hóró musitadi, èyí tí ọkùnrin kan mú tí ó gbìn sínú oko rẹ̀.
32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge on its branches.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ èso tí ó kéré púpọ̀ láàrín èso rẹ̀, síbẹ̀ ó wá di ohun ọ̀gbìn tí ó tóbi jọjọ. Ó sì wá di igi tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run sì wá, wọ́n sì fi ẹ̀ka rẹ ṣe ibùgbé.”
33 Another parable he spoke to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Ó tún pa òwe mìíràn fún wọn: “Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí ìwúkàrà tí obìnrin kan mú tí ó pò mọ́ ìyẹ̀fun púpọ̀ títí tí gbogbo rẹ fi di wíwú.”
34 All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable he spoke not to them:
Òwe ni Jesu fi sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún àwọn ènìyàn, òwe ni ó fi bá wọn sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tó sọ.
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Kí ọ̀rọ̀ tí a ti ẹnu àwọn wòlíì sọ lé wá sí ìmúṣẹ pé: “Èmi yóò ya ẹnu mi láti fi òwe sọ̀rọ̀. Èmi yóò sọ àwọn ohun tí ó fi ara sin láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé wá.”
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Declare to us the parable of the tares of the field.
Lẹ́yìn náà ó sì fi ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sílẹ̀ lóde, ó wọ ilé lọ. Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọn wí pé, “Ṣàlàyé òwe èpò inú oko fún wa.”
37 He answered and said to them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Ó sì dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ọmọ Ènìyàn ni ẹni tí ó ń fúnrúgbìn rere.
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
Ayé ni oko náà; irúgbìn rere ni àwọn ènìyàn ti ìjọba ọ̀run. Èpò ni àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n jẹ́ ti èṣù,
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
ọ̀tá tí ó gbin àwọn èpò sáàrín alikama ni èṣù. Ìkórè ni òpin ayé, àwọn olùkórè sì ní àwọn angẹli. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
“Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kó èpò jọ, tí a sì sun ún nínú iná, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni yóò rí ní ìgbẹ̀yìn ayé. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them who do iniquity;
Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò ran àwọn angẹli rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì kó gbogbo ohun tó ń mú ni dẹ́ṣẹ̀ kúrò ní ìjọba rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ènìyàn búburú.
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Wọn yóò sì sọ wọ́n sí inú iná ìléru, níbi ti ẹkún òun ìpayínkeke yóò gbé wà.
43 Then shall the righteous shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn olódodo yóò máa ràn bí oòrùn ní ìjọba Baba wọn. Ẹni tí ó bá létí, jẹ́ kí ó gbọ́.
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field; which, when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
“Ìjọba ọ̀run sì dàbí ìṣúra kan tí a fi pamọ́ sínú oko. Nígbà tí ọkùnrin kan rí i ó tún fi í pamọ́. Nítorí ayọ̀ rẹ̀, ó ta gbogbo ohun ìní rẹ̀, ó ra oko náà.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking goodly pearls:
“Bákan náà ni ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí oníṣòwò kan tí ó ń wá òkúta olówó iyebíye láti rà.
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Nígbà tí ó rí ọ̀kan tí ó ni iye lórí, ó lọ láti ta gbogbo ohun ìní rẹ̀ láti le rà á.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
“Bákan náà, a sì tún lè fi ìjọba ọ̀run wé àwọ̀n kan tí a jù sínú odò, ó sì kó onírúurú ẹja.
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to the shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast away the bad.
Nígbà tí àwọ̀n náà sì kún, àwọn apẹja fà á sókè sí etí bèbè Òkun, wọ́n jókòó, wọ́n sì ṣa àwọn èyí tí ó dára sínú apẹ̀rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n da àwọn tí kò dára nù.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, (aiōn g165)
Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni yóò rí ní ìgbẹ̀yìn ayé. Àwọn angẹli yóò wá láti ya àwọn ènìyàn búburú kúrò lára àwọn olódodo. (aiōn g165)
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Wọn ó sì ju àwọn ènìyàn búburú sínú iná ìléru náà, ní ibi ti ẹkún àti ìpayínkeke yóò gbé wà.”
51 Jesus saith to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yes, Lord.
Jesu bí wọn léèrè pé, “Ǹjẹ́ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí yé yín.” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ó yé wa.”
52 Then said he to them, Therefore every scribe [who is] instructed to the kingdom of heaven, is like a man [that is] a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old.
Ó wí fún wọn pé, “Nítorí náà ni olúkúlùkù olùkọ́ òfin tí ó ti di ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn ní ìjọba ọ̀run ṣe dàbí ọkùnrin kan tí í ṣe baálé ilé, tí ó mú ìṣúra tuntun àti èyí tí ó ti gbó jáde láti inú yàrá ìṣúra rẹ̀.”
53 And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
Lẹ́yìn ti Jesu ti parí òwe wọ̀nyí, ó ti ibẹ̀ kúrò.
54 And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this [man] this wisdom, and [these] mighty works?
Ó wá sí ìlú òun tìkára rẹ̀, níbẹ̀ ni ó ti ń kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn nínú Sinagọgu, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n. Wọ́n béèrè pé, “Níbo ni ọkùnrin yìí ti mú ọgbọ́n yìí àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu wọ̀nyí wá?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Kì í ha ṣe ọmọ gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà ni èyí bí? Ìyá rẹ̀ ha kọ́ ni à ń pè ní Maria bí? Arákùnrin rẹ̀ ha kọ́ ni Jakọbu, Josẹfu, Simoni àti Judasi bí?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this [man] all these things?
Àwọn arábìnrin rẹ̀ gbogbo ha kọ́ ni ó ń bá wa gbé níhìn-ín yìí, nígbà náà níbo ni ọkùnrin yìí ti rí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí?”
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Inú bí wọn sí i. Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Wòlíì a máa lọ́lá ní ibòmíràn, àfi ní ilé ara rẹ̀ àti ní ìlú ara rẹ̀ nìkan ni wòlíì kò ti lọ́lá.”
58 And he did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.
Nítorí náà kò ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu kankan níbẹ̀, nítorí àìnígbàgbọ́ wọn.
