Mataio 13
1 I A la la, hele aku la o Ieau iwaho o ka hale, a noho iho la ia ma kapa o ka loko.
That same day, when Jesus had left the house and was sitting by the sea,
2 He nui loa ka poe kanaka i akoakoa mai io na la, ee aku la ia maluna o kekahi moku, noho iho la; a ku nui mai la ua poe kanaka la mauka.
such great crowds gathered round him, that he got into a boat, and sat in it, while all the people stood on the beach.
3 Ao mai la oia ia lakou i kela mea keia mea ma na olelonane, i ka i ana mai, Aia hoi, hele aku la kekahi kanaka lulu hua e lulu.
Then he told them many truths in parables. ‘The sower,’ he began, ‘went out to sow; and,
4 A i kana lulu ana, helelei iho la kekahi ma kapa alanui, lele mai la na manu, a pau ae la ia i ke kikoa.
as they were sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5 Aka helelei iho la kekahi ma kahi hapapa, aohe nui o ka lepo; kupu wawe ae la ia no ka papau o ka lepo.
Some fell on rocky places, where it had not much soil, and, because the soil wasn’t deep, sprang up at once.
6 A puka mai ka la, mae iho la ia, maloo aku la no ke aa ole.
As soon as the sun had risen, it was scorched, and, because their roots were not deep enough, withered away.
7 Aka helelei iho la kakahi ma kahi kakalaioa, kupu ae la ke kakalaioa a kahihi aku la ia mea.
Some, again, fell into the brambles; but the brambles shot up and choked it.
8 Aka helelei iho la hoi kekahi ma ka lepo maikai, a hua mai la i ka hua, he pahaneri ka kekahi, he pakanaono ka kekahi, a he pakanakolu ka kekahi.
Some, however, fell on good soil, and yielded a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.
9 O ka mea pepeiao lohe la, e hoolohe ia.
Let those who have ears hear.’
10 Hele mai la kana poe haumana, ninau aku la ia ia, No ke aha la oe e olelo mai ai ia lakou ma na olelonane?
Afterwards his disciples came to him, and said, ‘Why do you speak to them in parables?’
11 Olelo mai la oia ia lakou, i mai la, No ka mea, ua haawiia aku ia oukou e ike i na mea pohihihi o ke aupuni o ka lani, aole nae i haawiia'ku ia lakou.
‘To you,’ answered Jesus, ‘the knowledge of the hidden truths of the kingdom of heaven has been imparted, but not to those.
12 O ka mea ua loaa, e haawi hou ia'ku nana a mahuahua; aka, o ka mea ua loaa ole, e laweia'ku kana mai ona aku la.
For, to all who have, more will be given, and they will have abundance; but, from all who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
13 Nolaila ka'u e olelo aku nei ia lakou ma na olelonane; no ka mea, i ka nana ana, aole lakou i ike; a i ka lohe ana, aole lakou i hoolohe, aole hoi i hoomaopopo.
That is why I speak to them in parables, because, though they have eyes, they do not see, and though they have ears, they do not hear or understand.
14 A i ko ai ka wanana a Isaia ia lakou, i ka i ana, I ka lohe ana, e lohe auanei oukou, aole nae e hoomaopopo; a i ka nana ana, e nana auanei oukou, aole nae e ike.
In them is being fulfilled that prophecy of Isaiah which says – “You will hear with your ears without ever understanding, and, though you have eyes, you will see without ever perceiving,
15 No ka mea, ua palaka ka naau o keia poe kanaka, ua hookuli lakou i ko lakou mau pepeiao, ua hoopaa hoi i ko lakou mau maka; o ike auanei ko lakou mau maka, o lohe hoi ko lakou mau pepeiao, o manao hoi ko lakou naau, o huli mai lakou, a hoola aku au ia lakou.
for the mind of this nation has grown dense, and their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes also have they closed; otherwise some day they might perceive with their eyes, and with their ears they might hear, and in their mind they might understand, and might turn – and I might heal them.”
16 Pomaikai ko oukou mau maka, no ka mea, ua ike: a me ko oukou mau pepeiao, ua lohe.
‘But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear;
17 He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, He nui na kaula a me na kanaka pono i ake e ike i na mea a oukou e ike nei, aole nae lakou i ike; a e lohe hoi i na mea a oukou e lohe nei, aole nae i lohe.
for I tell you that many prophets and good people have longed for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never saw them, and to hear the things which you are hearing, yet never heard them.
18 E hoolohe oukou i ke ano o ka olelonane no ke kanaka luluhua.
‘Listen, then, yourselves to the parable of the sower.
19 O kela mea keia mea lohe i ka olelo no ke aupnui me ka hoomaopopo ole: alaila, hele mai no ka mea ino, a kaili aku ia i ka mea i luluia iloko o kona naau. Oia ka mea i luluia ma kapa alanui.
When anyone hears the message of the kingdom without understanding it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in their mind. This is the person meant by the seed which was sown along the path.
20 O ka mea i luluia ma kahi hapapa, oia ka mea i lohe i ka olelo, a hopu koke iho la ia me ka olioli.
By the seed which was sown on rocky places is meant the person who hears the message, and at once accepts it joyfully;
21 Aole nae he aa iloko ona, nolaila ua pokole kona kupaa ana; a hiki mai ka pilikia a me ka hoino no ka olelo, alaila haule koke iho la ia.
but, as they have no root, they stand for only a short time; and, when trouble or persecution arises because of the message, they fall away at once.
22 O ka mea i luluia ma kahi kakalaioa, oia ka mea i lohe i ka olelo; a na ka manao ana i na mea o keia ao, a me ka hoopunipuni ana o ka waiwai e kinai iho ka olelo, a lilo ia i mea hua ole. (aiōn g165)
By the seed which was sown among the brambles is meant the person who hears the message, but the cares of life and the glamour of wealth completely choke the message, so that it gives no return. (aiōn g165)
23 A o ka mea i luluia ma kahi lepo maikai, oia ka mea i lohe i ka olelo me ka hoomaopopo; a hua mai i ka hua he pahaneri ka kekahi, he pakanaono ka kekahi, a he pakanakolu ka kekahi
But by the seed which was sown on the good ground is meant the person who hears the message and understands it, and really yields a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.’
24 Hai mai la oia i kekahi olelonane hou ia lakou, i mai la, Ua hoohalikeia ke aupuni o ka lani me kekahi kanaka nana i lulu iho i ka hua maikai ma kana mahinaai.
Another parable which Jesus told them was this – ‘The kingdom of heaven is compared to a person who sowed good seed in their field.
25 A i ka wa i hiamoe ai na kanaka, hele mai la kona enemi, a lulu iho la i ka zizania iloko pu me ka palaoa, a hoi aku la.
But, while everyone was asleep, their enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away.
26 A kupu mai ke kino, a opuu ae la, alaila ikea iho la ka zizania.
So, when the blades of corn shot up, and came into ear, the weeds made their appearance also.
27 Hele mai la na kauwa a ua mea hale la, i mai la ia ia, E ka haku, aole anei oe i lulu iho i ka hua maikai ma kau mahinaai? No hea mai la hoi ka zizania?
The owner’s servants came to them, and said “Was not it good seed that you sowed in your field? Where, then, do the weeds in it come from?”
28 I aku la oia ia lakou, Na ke kanaka enemi ia i hana. Ninau mai la ka poe kauwa ia ia, E kii anei makou e uhuki ia mea?
“An enemy has done this,” was the owner’s answer. “Do you wish us, then,” they asked, “to go and gather them together?”
29 I aku la ia, Aole, o uhuki pu oukou i ka palaoa i ko oukou waele ana i ka zizania.
“No,” said he, “because while you are pulling up the weeds you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 E waiho no pela, e ulu pu laua a hiki i ka ohi ana: a i ka wa e ohi ai, na'u e olelo aku i ka poe okioki, E houluulu mua oukou i ka zizania, e pua a paa i mea e puhi ai i ke ahi; a o ka palaoa la, e hoiliili ia iloko o ko'u halepapaa.
Let both grow side by side until harvest; and then I will say to the reapers, Gather the weeds together first, and tie them in bundles for burning; but bring all the wheat into my barn.”’
31 Hai aku la oia ia lakou i kekahi olelonane hou, i aku la, Ua like ke aupuni o ka lani mo kekahi hua makeke a ke kanaka i lawe a kanu iho i kana mahinaai.
Another parable which he told them was this – ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a person took and sowed in his field.
32 He makalii keia hua i na hua a pau, a kupu ae ia, ua oi kona kino i na laalaau a pau, a lilo ae la ia i laau, a lele mai na manu o ka lewa, a kau iho iluna o kona mau lala.
This seed is smaller than all other seeds, but, when it has grown up, it is larger than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that “the wild birds come and roost in its branches.”’
33 Olelo mai la hoi oia ia lakou i kekahi olelonane hou. Ua like ke aupuni o ka lani me ka mea hu a kekahi wahine i lawe ai, a hui pu me na sato palaoa ekolu, a pau ae la ia i ka hu.
This was another parable which Jesus related – ‘The kingdom of heaven is like some yeast which a woman took and covered up in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.’
34 Oia mau mea a pau ka Iesu i olelo aku ai i na kanaka ma na olelonane; a ma na oleloane wale no kana olelo ana aku ia lakou:
Of all this Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables; indeed to them he used never to speak at all except in parables,
35 I ko ai ka mea i oleloia e ke kaula, i ka i ana mai, E pane aku kuu waha i na olelonane, e hai aku hoi au i na mea i hai ole ia, mai ke kumu mai o ke ao nei.
in fulfilment of these words in the prophet – “I will speak to them in parables; I will utter things kept secret since the foundation of the world.”
36 Alaila, haalele aku la Iesu i ka poe kanaka, a hele mai la iloko o ka hale. Hele aku la na haumana io na la, i aku la, E hoakaka mai oe ia makou i ka olelonane no ka zizania ma ka mahinaai.
Then Jesus left the crowd, and went into the house. Presently his disciples came to him, and said, ‘Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.’
37 Olelo mai la ia, i mai la ia lakou, O ka mea nana i lulu i ka hua maikai, oia ke Keiki a ke kanaka.
He answered, ‘The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 O ka mahinaai, oia ke ao nei: o ka hua maikai, oia na keiki no ke aupuni; a o ka zizania, oia na keiki o ka mea ino.
The field is the world. By the good seed is meant the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the wicked,
39 O ka enemi nana i lulu ia mea, oia ka diabolo; o ka wa e ohi ai, o ka hopena ia o keia ao; ao ka poe nana e okioki, o ka poe anela ia. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest time is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
And, just as the weeds are gathered and burnt, so it will be at the close of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Na ke Keiki a ke kanaka e hoouna i kona poe anela, a e houluulu mai lakou i na mea hoohihia wale, a me na mea hana ino a pau mailoko mai o kona aupuni;
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom all that hinders and those who live in sin,
42 A e hoolei aku ia lakou iloko o ka lua ahi; ilaila ka uwe ana a me ka nwi ana o na niho.
and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 Alaila e lilelile ae ka poe pono e like me ka la iloko o ke aupuni o ka lakou Makua. O ka mea pepeiao lohe la, e hoolohe ia.
Then will the righteous shine, like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. If you have ears, listen.
44 Eia hou, Ua like ke aupuni o ka lani me ka waiwai i hunaia iloko o kahi kihapai: a loaa ia i ke kanaka, huna hou iho no ia, a hele aku me ka olioli, a kuai lilo aku no i kana mau mea a pau, a kuai lilo mai ia kihapai nona.
‘The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a person found and hid again, and then, in their delight, went and sold everything that they had, and bought that field.
45 Eia hou, Ua like ke aupuni o ka lani me ke kanaka kuai, e imi ana i na momi maikai.
‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of choice pearls.
46 A ike aku ia i kekahi momi maikai loa, hele aku no ia, a kuai lilo aku i kana mau mea a pau, a kuai lilo mai ia momi nona.
Finding one of great value, they went and sold everything that they had, and bought it.
47 Eia hou, Ua like ke aupuni o ka lani me ka upena i kuu i ke kai, a puni ae la na ia he nui wale ke ano.
Or again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was cast into the sea, and caught fish of all kinds.
48 A piha ia, huki ae lakou iuka, noho iho, a hahao iho i na mea maikai iloko o na ipu, aka, hoolei aku no i na mea ino.
When it was full, they hauled it up on the beach, and sat down and sorted the good fish into baskets, but threw the worthless ones away.
49 Pela no i ka hopena o keia ao; e kii mai auanei ka poe anela, a e hookaawale lakou i ka poo hewa maiwaena ae o ka poe pono; (aiōn g165)
So will it be at the close of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 A e hoolei aku ia lakou iloko o ka lua ahi; ilaila e uwe ai a e uwi ai na niho.
and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 Ninau mai la o Iesu ia lakou, Ua ike pono anei oukou i neia mau mea a pau? I aku la lakou ia ia, Ae, e ka Haku.
‘Have you understood all this?’ Jesus asked. ‘Yes,’ they answered.
52 Olelo mai la kela ia lakou, No ia mea, kela kakauolelo keia kakauolelo i aoia i na mea o ke aupuni o ka lani, ua like no ia me ke kanaka mea hale, nana i lawe mai na mea hou a me na mea kahiko mailoko mai o kona waihona waiwai.
Then he added, ‘So every teacher of the Law, who has received instruction about the kingdom of heaven, is like a householder who produces from his stores things both new and old.’
53 A oki ae la ka Iesu olelo ana mai i keia mau olelonane, helo aku la ia mai ia wahi aku.
When Jesus had finished these parables, he withdrew from that place.
54 A hiki aku la ia i kona aina, ao aku la ia i na kanaka iloko o ko lakou halehalawai; a kahaha iho la lakou, i ae la, Nohea la ka naauao a me ka hana mana a na kanaka la?
Going to his own part of the country, he taught the people in their synagogue in such a manner that they were deeply impressed. ‘Where did he get this wisdom?’ they said, ‘and the miracles?
55 Aole anei keia ke keiki a ke kamana? Aole anei o Maria ka inoa o kona makuwahine? a o na hoahanau ona, o Iakobo, o Iose, o Simona, a o Iuda?
Isn’t he the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56 A o na kaikuwahine ona, aole anei lakou a pau me kakon? Nohea mai la ia ia keia mau mea a pau?
And his sisters, too – are not they all living among us? Where, then did he get all this?’
57 A ukiuki iho la lakou ia ia. I aku la Iesu ia lakou, Aole he kaula i hoowahawahaia ma kahi e, aia no ma kona aina a ma kona hale iho no.
These things proved a hindrance to their believing in him. But Jesus said, ‘A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country and in his own house.’
58 Aohe nui na hana mana ana i hana'i ilaila, no ko lakou hoomaloka.
He did not work many miracles there, because of their want of faith.
