Mattheum 13
1 In illo die exiens Iesus de domo, sedebat secus mare.
And on that day, having departed from the house, Jesus was sitting beside the sea.
2 Et congregatæ sunt ad eum turbæ multæ, ita ut naviculam ascendens sederet: et omnis turba stabat in littore,
And many multitudes were gathered to him, so as for him (having entered in) to sit in the boat, and all the multitude had stood on the shore.
3 et locutus est eis multa in parabolis, dicens: Ecce exiit qui seminat, seminare.
And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, the man who sows went forth 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 wayside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Alia autem ceciderunt in petrosa, ubi non habebant terram multam: et continuo exorta sunt, quia non habebant altitudinem terræ.
But others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much soil, and straightaway they sprang up because they had no depth of soil.
6 Sole autem orto æstuaverunt: et quia non habebant radicem, aruerunt.
But when the sun was risen, they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered.
7 Alia autem ceciderunt in spinas: et creverunt spinæ, et suffocaverunt ea.
And others fell in the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8 Alia autem ceciderunt in terram bonam: et dabant fructum aliud centesimum, aliud sexagesimum, aliud trigesimum.
But others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
9 Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
He who has ears, let him hear.
10 Et accedentes discipuli dixerunt ei: Quare in parabolis loqueris eis?
And the disciples having come, they said to him, Why do thou speak to them in parables?
11 Qui respondens, ait illis: Quia vobis datum est nosse mysteria regni cælorum: illis autem non est datum.
And having answered, he said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those men it has not been given.
12 Qui enim habet, dabitur ei, et abundabit: qui autem non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.
For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Ideo in parabolis loquor eis: quia videntes non vident, et audientes non audiunt, neque intelligunt.
Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor do they understand.
14 Et adimpletur in eis prophetia Isaiæ dicentis: Auditu audietis, et non intelligetis: et videntes videbitis, et non videbitis:
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.
15 Incrassatum est enim cor populi huius, et auribus graviter audierunt, et oculos suos clauserunt: ne quando videant oculis, et auribus audiant, et corde intelligant, et convertantur, et sanem eos.
For this people's heart became fat, and their ears hear heavily, and their eyes are shut, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I will heal them.
16 Vestri autem beati oculi quia vident, et aures vestræ quia audiunt.
But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
17 Amen quippe dico vobis, quia multi prophetæ, et iusti cupierunt videre quæ videtis, et non viderunt: et audire quæ auditis, et non audierunt.
For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men longed to see the things that ye see, and did not see them, and to hear the things that ye hear, and did not hear them.
18 Vos ergo audite parabolam seminantis.
Hear ye then the parable of the man who sows.
19 Omnis, qui audit verbum regni, et non intelligit, venit malus, et rapit quod seminatum est in corde eius: hic est qui secus viam seminatus est.
Of every man who hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, evil comes, and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that which was sown by the wayside.
20 Qui autem super petrosa seminatus est, hic est, qui verbum audit, et continuo cum gaudio accipit illud:
And that which was sown upon the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and straightaway receiving it with joy,
21 non habet autem in se radicem, sed est temporalis. Facta autem tribulatione et persecutione propter verbum, continuo scandalizatur.
yet he has no root in himself, instead it is temporary. And when tribulation or persecution develops because of the word, straightaway he is caused to stumble.
22 Qui autem seminatus est in spinis, hic est, qui verbum audit, et solicitudo sæculi istius, et fallacia divitiarum suffocat verbum, et sine fructu efficitur. (aiōn g165)
And that which was sown in the thorns, this is he who hears the word, and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (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 was sown upon the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who indeed bears fruit, and is productive, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Aliam parabolam proposuit illis, dicens: Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini, qui seminavit bonum semen in agro suo.
He set forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man sowing good seed in his field.
25 Cum autem dormirent homines, venit inimicus eius, et superseminavit zizania in medio tritici, et abiit.
But while the men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away.
26 Cum autem crevisset herba, et fructum fecisset, tunc apparuerunt et zizania.
And when the blade sprouted and produced fruit, then the tares also appeared.
27 Accedentes autem servi Patris familias, dixerunt ei: Domine, nonne bonum semen seminasti in agro tuo? Unde ergo habet zizania?
But the bondmen of the house-ruler having come, they said to him, Sir, did thou not sow good seed in thy field? From where then does it have tares?
28 Et ait illis: Inimicus homo hoc fecit: Servi autem dixerunt ei, Vis, imus, et colligimus ea?
And he said to them, A hostile man did this. And the bondmen said to him, Do thou desire therefore, after going, we would gather them up?
29 Et ait: Non: ne forte colligentes zizania, eradicetis simul cum eis et triticum.
But he said, No, lest while gathering up the tares, ye uproot the wheat together with them.
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.
Allow both to grow together until the harvest. And at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles in order to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 Aliam parabolam proposuit eis dicens: Simile est regnum cælorum grano sinapis, quod accipiens homo seminavit in agro suo:
He set forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard plant, which having taken, a man sowed in his field.
32 quod minimum quidem est omnibus seminibus: cum autem creverit, maius est omnibus oleribus, et fit arbor, ita ut volucres cæli veniant, et habitent in ramis eius.
Which indeed is smaller than all seeds, but when it is grown, it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so as for the birds of the sky to come and lodge in the branches of it.
33 Aliam parabolam locutus est eis. Simile est regnum cælorum fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinæ satis tribus, donec fermentatum est totum.
He spoke another parable to them. The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which having taken, a woman hid in three measures of meal until it was all leavened.
34 Hæc omnia locutus est Iesus in parabolis ad turbas: et sine parabolis non loquebatur eis:
Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes, and he did not speak to them independent of a parable,
35 ut impleretur quod dictum erat per prophetam, dicentem: Aperiam in parabolis os meum, eructabo abscondita a constitutione mundi.
so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, I will open my mouth in parables. I will utter things concealed from the foundation of the world.
36 Tunc, dimissis turbis, venit in domum: et accesserunt ad eum discipuli eius, dicentes: Edissere nobis parabolam zizaniorum agri.
Then having sent the multitudes away, Jesus came into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 Qui respondens ait illis: Qui seminat bonum semen, est Filius hominis.
And having answered, he said to them, He who sows 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.
and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of evil.
39 Inimicus autem, qui seminavit ea, est diabolus. Messis vero, consummatio sæculi est. Messores autem, Angeli sunt. (aiōn g165)
And the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are agents. (aiōn g165)
40 Sicut ergo colliguntur zizania, et igni comburuntur: sic erit in consummatione sæculi. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned in fire, so it will be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
41 Mittet Filius hominis Angelos suos, et colligent de regno eius omnia scandala, et eos, qui faciunt iniquitatem:
The Son of man will send forth his agents, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing lawlessness,
42 et mittent eos in caminum ignis. Ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
43 Tunc iusti fulgebunt sicut sol in regno Patris eorum. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has 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 the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man having found, he hid. And from the joy of it, he goes and sells all, as many things as he has, and buys that field.
45 Iterum simile est regnum cælorum homini negotiatori, quærenti bonas margaritas.
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a merchant, seeking fine pearls.
46 Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quæ habuit, et emit eam.
Who, having found one very valuable pearl, after departing, sold all, as many things as 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 the heavens is like a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered from every kind,
48 Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt.
which, when it was full, after dragging to the shore, having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, but they cast out the useless.
49 Sic erit in consummatione sæculi: exibunt Angeli, et separabunt malos de medio iustorum, (aiōn g165)
So it will be at the end of the age. The agents will come forth, and separate the bad from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 et mittent eos in caminum ignis: ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
51 Intellexistis hæc omnia? Dicunt ei: Etiam.
Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yes, Lord.
52 Ait illis: Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno cælorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera.
And he said to them, Because of this every scholar who has been instructed in the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a house-ruler, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.
53 Et factum est, cum consummasset Iesus parabolas istas, transiit inde.
And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 Et veniens in patriam suam, docebat eos in synagogis eorum, ita ut mirarentur, et dicerent: Unde huic sapientia hæc, et virtutes?
And having come into his fatherland he taught them in their synagogue, so as for them to be astonished, and say, From where is this wisdom and powers in this man?
55 Nonne hic est fabri filius? Nonne mater eius dicitur Maria, et fratres eius, Iacobus, et Ioseph, et Simon, et Iudas?
Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joses and Simon and Judas?
56 Et sorores eius, nonne omnes apud nos sunt? Unde ergo huic omnia ista?
And his sisters, are they not all near us? From where then are all these things in this man?
57 Et scandalizabantur in eo. Iesus autem dixit eis: Non est propheta sine honore, nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua.
And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his fatherland, and in his house.
58 Et non fecit ibi virtutes multas propter incredulitatem illorum.
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
