Matthew 13
1 That same day Jesus had left the house and was sitting on the shore of the Lake,
In illo die exiens Jesus de domo, sedebat secus mare.
2 when a vast multitude of people crowded round Him. He therefore went on board a boat and sat there, while all the people stood on the shore.
Et congregatæ sunt ad eum turbæ multæ, ita ut naviculam ascendens sederet: et omnis turba stabat in littore,
3 He then spoke many things to them in figurative language. "The sower goes out," He said, "to sow.
et locutus est eis multa in parabolis, dicens: Ecce exiit qui seminat, seminare.
4 As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up.
Et dum seminat, quædam ceciderunt secus viam, et venerunt volucres cæli, et comederunt ea.
5 Some falls on rocky ground, where it has but scanty soil. It quickly shows itself above ground, because it has no depth of earth;
Alia autem ceciderunt in petrosa, ubi non habebant terram multam: et continuo exorta sunt, quia non habebant altitudinem terræ:
6 but when the sun is risen, it is scorched by the heat, and through having no root it withers up.
sole autem orto æstuaverunt; et quia non habebant radicem, aruerunt.
7 Some falls among the thorns; but the thorns spring up and stifle it.
Alia autem ceciderunt in spinas: et creverunt spinæ, et suffocaverunt ea.
8 But a portion falls upon good ground, and gives a return, some a hundred for one, some sixty, some thirty.
Alia autem ceciderunt in terram bonam: et dabant fructum, aliud centesimum, aliud sexagesimum, aliud trigesimum.
9 Listen, every one who has ears!"
Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
10 (And His disciples came and asked Him, "Why do you speak to them in figurative language?"
Et accedentes discipuli dixerunt ei: Quare in parabolis loqueris eis?
11 "Because," He replied, "while to you it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of the Heavens, to them it is not.
Qui respondens, ait illis: Quia vobis datum est nosse mysteria regni cælorum: illis autem non est datum.
12 For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but whoever has not, from him even what he has shall be taken away.
Qui enim habet, dabitur ei, et abundabit: qui autem non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.
13 I speak to them in figurative language for this reason, that while looking they do not see, and while hearing they neither hear nor understand.
Ideo in parabolis loquor eis: quia videntes non vident, et audientes non audiunt, neque intelligunt.
14 And in regard to them the prophecy of Isaiah is receiving signal fulfilment: "'You will hear and hear and by no means understand, and you will look and look and by no means see.
Et adimpletur in eis prophetia Isaiæ, dicentis: Auditu audietis, et non intelligetis: et videntes videbitis, et non videbitis.
15 For this people's mind is stupefied, their hearing has become dull, and their eyes they have closed; to prevent their ever seeing with their eyes, or hearing with their ears, or understanding with their minds, and turning back, so that I might heal them.'
Incrassatum est enim cor populi hujus, et auribus graviter audierunt, et oculos suos clauserunt: nequando videant oculis, et auribus audiant, et corde intelligant, et convertantur, et sanem eos.
16 "But as for you, blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.
Vestri autem beati oculi quia vident, et aures vestræ quia audiunt.
17 For I solemnly tell you that many Prophets and holy men have longed to see the sights you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the words you hear, and have not heard them.
Amen quippe dico vobis, quia multi prophetæ et justi cupierunt videre quæ videtis, et non viderunt: et audire quæ auditis, et non audierunt.
18 "To you then I will explain the parable of the Sower.
Vos ergo audite parabolam seminantis.
19 When a man hears the Message concerning the Kingdom and does not understand it, the Evil one comes and catches away what has been sown in his heart. This is he who has received the seed by the road-side.
Omnis qui audit verbum regni, et non intelligit, venit malus, et rapit quod seminatum est in corde ejus: hic est qui secus viam seminatus est.
20 He who has received the seed on the rocky ground is the man who hears the Message and immediately receives it with joy.
Qui autem super petrosa seminatus est, hic est qui verbum audit, et continuo cum gaudio accipit illud:
21 It has struck no root, however, within him. He continues for a time, but when suffering comes, or persecution, because of the Message, he at once stumbles and falls.
non habet autem in se radicem, sed est temporalis: facta autem tribulatione et persecutione propter verbum, continuo scandalizatur.
22 He who has received the seed among the thorns is the man who hears the Message, but the cares of the present age and the delusions of riches quite stifle the Message, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
Qui autem seminatus est in spinis, hic est qui verbum audit, et sollicitudo sæculi istius, et fallacia divitiarum suffocat verbum, et sine fructu efficitur. (aiōn g165)
23 But he who has received the seed on good ground is he who hears and understands. Such hearers give a return, and yield one a hundred for one, another sixty, another thirty.")
Qui vero in terram bonam seminatus est, hic est qui audit verbum, et intelligit, et fructum affert, et facit aliud quidem centesimum, aliud autem sexagesimum, aliud vero trigesimum.
24 Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "may be compared to a man who has sown good seed in his field,
Aliam parabolam proposuit illis, dicens: Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini, qui seminavit bonum semen in agro suo:
25 but during the night his enemy comes, and over the first seed he sows darnel among the wheat, and goes away.
cum autem dormirent homines, venit inimicus ejus, et superseminavit zizania in medio tritici, et abiit.
26 But when the blade shoots up and the grain is formed, then appears the darnel also.
Cum autem crevisset herba, et fructum fecisset, tunc apparuerunt et zizania.
27 "So the farmer's men come and ask him, "'Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed on your land? Where then does the darnel come from?'
Accedentes autem servi patrisfamilias, dixerunt ei: Domine, nonne bonum semen seminasti in agro tuo? unde ergo habet zizania?
28 "'Some enemy has done this,' he said. "'Shall we go, and collect it?' the men inquire.
Et ait illis: Inimicus homo hoc fecit. Servi autem dixerunt ei: Vis, imus, et colligimus ea?
29 "'No,' he replied, 'for fear that while collecting the darnel you should at the same time root up the wheat with it.
Et ait: Non: ne forte colligentes zizania, eradicetis simul cum eis et triticum.
30 Leave both to grow together until the harvest, and at harvest-time I will direct the reapers, Collect the darnel first, and make it up into bundles to burn it, but bring all the wheat into my barn.'"
Sinite utraque crescere usque ad messem, et in tempore messis dicam messoribus: Colligite primum zizania, et alligate ea in fasciculos ad comburendum: triticum autem congregate in horreum meum.
31 Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like a mustard-seed, which a man takes and sows in his ground.
Aliam parabolam proposuit eis dicens: Simile est regnum cælorum grano sinapis, quod accipiens homo seminavit in agro suo:
32 It is the smallest of all seeds, and yet when full-grown it is larger than any herb and forms a tree, so that the birds come and build in its branches."
quod minimum quidem est omnibus seminibus: cum autem creverit, majus est omnibus oleribus, et fit arbor, ita ut volucres cæli veniant, et habitent in ramis ejus.
33 Another parable He spoke to them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, for it to work there till the whole mass has risen."
Aliam parabolam locutus est eis: Simile est regnum cælorum fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinæ satis tribus, donec fermentatum est totum.
34 All this Jesus spoke to the people in figurative language, and except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them,
Hæc omnia locutus est Jesus in parabolis ad turbas: et sine parabolis non loquebatur eis:
35 in fulfilment of the saying of the Prophet, "I will open my mouth in figurative language, I will utter things kept hidden since the creation of all things."
ut impleretur quod dictum erat per prophetam dicentem: Aperiam in parabolis os meum; eructabo abscondita a constitutione mundi.
36 When He had dismissed the people and had returned to the house, His disciples came to Him with the request, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel sown in the field."
Tunc, dimissis turbis, venit in domum: et accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, dicentes: Edissere nobis parabolam zizaniorum agri.
37 "The sower of the good seed," He replied, "is the Son of Man;
Qui respondens ait illis: Qui seminat bonum semen, est Filius hominis.
38 the field is the world; the good seed--these are the sons of the Kingdom; the darnel, the sons of the Evil one.
Ager autem est mundus. Bonum vero semen, hi sunt filii regni. Zizania autem, filii sunt nequam.
39 The enemy who sows the darnel is the Devil; the harvest is the Close of the Age; the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
Inimicus autem, qui seminavit ea, est diabolus. Messis vero, consummatio sæculi est. Messores autem, angeli sunt. (aiōn g165)
40 As then the darnel is collected together and burnt up with fire, so will it be at the Close of the Age. (aiōn g165)
Sicut ergo colliguntur zizania, et igni comburuntur: sic erit in consummatione sæculi. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will commission His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all who violate His laws;
Mittet Filius hominis angelos suos, et colligent de regno ejus omnia scandala, et eos qui faciunt iniquitatem:
42 and these they will throw into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.
et mittent eos in caminum ignis. Ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.
43 Then will the righteous shine out like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, every one who has ears!
Tunc justi fulgebunt sicut sol in regno Patris eorum. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
44 "The Kingdom of the Heavens is like treasure buried in the open country, which a man finds, but buries again, and, in his joy about it, goes and sells all he has and buys that piece of ground.
Simile est regnum cælorum thesauro abscondito in agro: quem qui invenit homo, abscondit, et præ gaudio illius vadit, et vendit universa quæ habet, et emit agrum illum.
45 "Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a jewel merchant who is in quest of choice pearls.
Iterum simile est regnum cælorum homini negotiatori, quærenti bonas margaritas.
46 He finds one most costly pearl; he goes away; and though it costs all he has, he buys it.
Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quæ habuit, et emit eam.
47 "Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a draw-net let down into the sea, which encloses fish of all sorts.
Iterum simile est regnum cælorum sagenæ missæ in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti.
48 When full, they haul it up on the beach, and sit down and collect the good fish in baskets, while the worthless they throw away.
Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonos in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt.
49 So will it be at the Close of the Age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
Sic erit in consummatione sæculi: exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio justorum, (aiōn g165)
50 and will throw them into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth."
et mittent eos in caminum ignis: ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium.
51 "Have you understood all this?" He asked. "Yes," they said.
Intellexistis hæc omnia? Dicunt ei: Etiam.
52 "Therefore," He said, "remember that every Scribe well trained for the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse new things and old."
Ait illis: Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno cælorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera.
53 Jesus concluded this series of parables and then departed.
Et factum est, cum consummasset Jesus parabolas istas, transiit inde.
54 And He came into His own country and proceeded to teach in their synagogue, so that they were filled with astonishment and exclaimed, "Where did he obtain such wisdom, and these wondrous powers?
Et veniens in patriam suam, docebat eos in synagogis eorum, ita ut mirarentur, et dicerent: Unde huic sapientia hæc, et virtutes?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers, James, Joseph, Simon and Judah?
Nonne hic est fabri filius? nonne mater ejus dicitur Maria, et fratres ejus, Jacobus, et Joseph, et Simon, et Judas?
56 And his sisters--are they not all living here among us? Where then did he get all this?"
et sorores ejus, nonne omnes apud nos sunt? unde ergo huic omnia ista?
57 So they turned angrily away from Him. But Jesus said to them, "There is no prophet left without honour except in his own country and among his own family."
Et scandalizabantur in eo. Jesus autem dixit eis: Non est propheta sine honore, nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua.
58 And He performed but few mighty deeds there because of their want of faith.
Et non fecit ibi virtutes multas propter incredulitatem illorum.
