Mattheum 13
1 In illo die exiens Jesus de domo, sedebat secus mare.
IN that day Jeshu went forth from the house and sat by the sea-side;
2 Et congregatæ sunt ad eum turbæ multæ, ita ut naviculam ascendens sederet: et omnis turba stabat in littore,
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.
3 et locutus est eis multa in parabolis, dicens: Ecce exiit qui seminat, seminare.
And he discoursed largely to them in parables, and said: Behold, there went forth a sower to sow;
4 Et dum seminat, quædam ceciderunt secus viam, et venerunt volucres cæli, et comederunt ea.
and as he sowed, some fell by the road-side, and the fowl came and devoured it.
5 Alia autem ceciderunt in petrosa, ubi non habebant terram multam: et continuo exorta sunt, quia non habebant altitudinem terræ:
Another (portion) fell upon the rock, where there was not much soil; and immediately it sprung up, because there was no depth of earth.
6 sole autem orto æstuaverunt; et quia non habebant radicem, aruerunt.
But when the sun was risen, it burned, and, because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Alia autem ceciderunt in spinas: et creverunt spinæ, et suffocaverunt ea.
And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked it.
8 Alia autem ceciderunt in terram bonam: et dabant fructum, aliud centesimum, aliud sexagesimum, aliud trigesimum.
And another fell into good earth, and gave fruits, this a hundred, another sixty, and another thirty.
9 Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
He who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Et accedentes discipuli dixerunt ei: Quare in parabolis loqueris eis?
And his disciples approached, saying to him, Why dost thou speak to them in parables?
11 Qui respondens, ait illis: Quia vobis datum est nosse mysteria regni cælorum: illis autem non est datum.
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.
12 Qui enim habet, dabitur ei, et abundabit: qui autem non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.
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.
13 Ideo in parabolis loquor eis: quia videntes non vident, et audientes non audiunt, neque intelligunt.
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;
14 Et adimpletur in eis prophetia Isaiæ, dicentis: [Auditu audietis, et non intelligetis: et videntes videbitis, et non videbitis.
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.
15 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.]
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.
16 Vestri autem beati oculi quia vident, et aures vestræ quia audiunt.
But blessed are your eyes which see, and your ears which hear:
17 Amen quippe dico vobis, quia multi prophetæ et justi cupierunt videre quæ videtis, et non viderunt: et audire quæ auditis, et non audierunt.
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.
18 Vos ergo audite parabolam seminantis.
You, then, attend to the comparison of the seed:
19 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.
(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.
20 Qui autem super petrosa seminatus est, hic est qui verbum audit, et continuo cum gaudio accipit illud:
But that which was sown upon the rock is he who heareth the word, and at once with joy apprehendeth it.
21 non habet autem in se radicem, sed est temporalis: facta autem tribulatione et persecutione propter verbum, continuo scandalizatur.
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.
22 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)
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)
23 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.
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.
24 Aliam parabolam proposuit illis, dicens: Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini, qui seminavit bonum semen in agro suo:
ANOTHER comparison he allegorized unto them, and said: The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 cum autem dormirent homines, venit inimicus ejus, et superseminavit zizania in medio tritici, et abiit.
And while men slept, came his adversary, and sowed zizania among the wheat, and went.
26 Cum autem crevisset herba, et fructum fecisset, tunc apparuerunt et zizania.
And when the plant sprang up and produced fruit, then appeared the zizania.
27 Accedentes autem servi patrisfamilias, dixerunt ei: Domine, nonne bonum semen seminasti in agro tuo? unde ergo habet zizania?
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?
28 Et ait illis: Inimicus homo hoc fecit. Servi autem dixerunt ei: Vis, imus, et colligimus ea?
But he said to them, A foeman hath done this. The labourers say to him, Art thou willing that we go and gather them?
29 Et ait: Non: ne forte colligentes zizania, eradicetis simul cum eis et triticum.
But he said to them, (No, ) lest, when ye gather the zizania, you root out with them the wheat also.
30 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.
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.
31 Aliam parabolam proposuit eis dicens: Simile est regnum cælorum grano sinapis, quod accipiens homo seminavit in agro suo:
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.
32 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.
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.
33 Aliam parabolam locutus est eis: Simile est regnum cælorum fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinæ satis tribus, donec fermentatum est totum.
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.
34 Hæc omnia locutus est Jesus in parabolis ad turbas: et sine parabolis non loquebatur eis:
All these spake Jeshu in parables to the multitude; and without a parable he did not speak with them.
35 ut impleretur quod dictum erat per prophetam dicentem: Aperiam in parabolis os meum; eructabo abscondita a constitutione mundi.
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.
36 Tunc, dimissis turbis, venit in domum: et accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, dicentes: Edissere nobis parabolam zizaniorum agri.
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.
37 Qui respondens ait illis: Qui seminat bonum semen, est Filius hominis.
He answered and said to them, He who sowed the good seed is the Son of man.
38 Ager autem est mundus. Bonum vero semen, hi sunt filii regnum. Zizania autem, filii sunt nequam.
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.
39 Inimicus autem, qui seminavit ea, est diabolus. Messis vero, consummatio sæculi est. Messores autem, angeli sunt. (aiōn g165)
The adversary who sowed them is Satana; the harvest is the consummation of the world; the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Sicut ergo colliguntur zizania, et igni comburuntur: sic erit in consummatione sæculi. (aiōn g165)
As, therefore, the zizania are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be in the completion of this world. (aiōn g165)
41 Mittet Filius hominis angelos suos, et colligent de regno ejus omnia scandala, et eos qui faciunt iniquitatem:
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,
42 et mittent eos in caminum ignis. Ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.
and shall throw them into a furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Tunc justi fulgebunt sicut sol in regno Patris eorum. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
Then the just shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44 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.
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.
45 Iterum simile est regnum cælorum homini negotiatori, quærenti bonas margaritas.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man a merchant, who sought goodly pearls;
46 Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quæ habuit, et emit eam.
but who, when he had found one pearl of exceeding price, went, sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 Iterum simile est regnum cælorum sagenæ missæ in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, which was thrown into the sea, and from every kind collected.
48 Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt.
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.
49 Sic erit in consummatione sæculi: exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio justorum, (aiōn g165)
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)
50 et mittent eos in caminum ignis: ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium.
and cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
51 Intellexistis hæc omnia? Dicunt ei: Etiam.
Jeshu said to them, Have you understood all these? They say to him, Yes, our Lord.
52 Ait illis: Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno cælorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera.
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.
53 Et factum est, cum consummasset Jesus parabolas istas, transiit inde.
AND when Jeshu had finished these parables, he passed from thence,
54 Et veniens in patriam suam, docebat eos in synagogis eorum, ita ut mirarentur, et dicerent: Unde huic sapientia hæc, et virtutes?
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?
55 Nonne hic est fabri filius? nonne mater ejus dicitur Maria, et fratres ejus, Jacobus, et Joseph, et Simon, et Judas?
Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mariam, and his brothers, Jakub, and Josi, and Shemun, and Jehuda?
56 et sorores ejus, nonne omnes apud nos sunt? unde ergo huic omnia ista?
and his sisters, all, are they not with us? Whence to this one all these?
57 Et scandalizabantur in eo. Jesus autem dixit eis: Non est propheta sine honore, nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua.
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.
58 Et non fecit ibi virtutes multas propter incredulitatem illorum.
And he did not many miracles there on account of their unbelief.
