Mattheum 13
1 In illo die exiens Iesus de domo, sedebat secus mare.
On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea.
2 Et congregatæ sunt ad eum turbæ multæ, ita ut naviculam ascendens sederet: et omnis turba stabat in littore,
And many multitudes came together to him, so that he went into a ship and sat; and the whole multitude 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 sower went out to sow.
4 Et dum seminat, quædam ceciderunt secus viam, et venerunt volucres cæli, et comederunt ea.
And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way: and the birds came and ate them up.
5 Alia autem ceciderunt in petrosa, ubi non habebant terram multam: et continuo exorta sunt, quia non habebant altitudinem terræ.
Others fell on stony places, where they had not much earth; and they immediately sprung up, because they had no depth of earth.
6 sole autem orto æstuaverunt: et quia non habebant radicem, aruerunt.
But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Alia autem ceciderunt in spinas: et creverunt spinæ, et suffocaverunt ea.
Others fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung up and choked them.
8 Alia autem ceciderunt in terram bonam: et dabant fructum aliud centesimum, aliud sexagesimum, aliud trigesimum.
Others fell upon good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundred, some fifty, some thirty.
9 Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Et accedentes discipuli dixerunt ei: Quare in parabolis loqueris eis?
And the disciples came and said 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 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.
12 Qui enim habet, dabitur ei, et abundabit: qui autem non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.
For whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but whoever has not, even that which he has shall be taken from him.
13 Ideo in parabolis loquor eis: quia videntes non vident, et audientes non audiunt, neque intelligunt.
For this reason I speak to them in parables; because when they see, they see not; and when they hear, 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 prophesy of Isaiah, which says: You shall surely hear, and you will not understand; and you shall surely see, and you will 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 the heart of this people has become fat; and with their ears they hear heavily; and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn to me, and I should give them health.
16 Vestri autem beati oculi quia vident, et aures vestræ quia audiunt.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for 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 verily I say to you, Many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear.
18 Vos ergo audite parabolam seminantis.
Hear you, therefore, the parable of the sower.
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.
When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and understands it not, the wicked one comes and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he that received seed by the wayside.
20 Qui autem super petrosa seminatus est, hic est, qui verbum audit, et continuo cum gaudio accipit illud:
He that received seed on the stony places is he that hears the word, and immediately receives 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, but endures for a while; and when affliction or persecution arises on account of the word, he immediately takes offense.
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)
He that received seed among the thorns, is he that hears the word; and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it 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 he that received seed on the good ground, is he that hears the word and understands it; who also produces fruit, and yields, one a hundred; another, sixty; another, thirty.
24 Aliam parabolam proposuit illis, dicens: Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini, qui seminavit bonum semen in agro suo.
Another parable he laid before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field.
25 cum autem dormirent homines, venit inimicus eius, et superseminavit zizania in medio tritici, et abiit.
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.
26 Cum autem crevisset herba, et fructum fecisset, tunc apparuerunt et zizania.
But when the blade sprung up, and produced fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 Accedentes autem servi patrisfamilias, dixerunt ei: Domine, nonne bonum semen seminasti in agro tuo? Unde ergo habet zizania?
And the servants of the master of the house came, and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence, then, has it tares?
28 Et ait illis: Inimicus homo hoc fecit: Servi autem dixerunt ei, Vis, imus, et colligimus ea?
He said to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Is it your will, then, that we go and gather them up?
29 Et ait: Non: ne forte colligentes zizania, eradicetis simul cum eis et triticum.
But he said, No; lest while you are gathering the tares, you root up the wheat 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.
Let both grow together till the harvest, and in time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Collect first the tares, and bind them into bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my granary.
31 Aliam parabolam proposuit eis dicens: Simile est regnum cælorum grano sinapis, quod accipiens homo seminavit in agro suo:
Another parable he laid before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard, that a man took and 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.
It is, indeed, the least of all seeds; but when it is grown it is the largest of garden-plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and roost 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.
He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till the whole was leavened.
34 Hæc omnia locutus est Iesus in parabolis ad turbas: et sine parabolis non loquebatur eis:
All these things Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them;
35 ut impleretur quod dictum erat per Prophetam dicentem: Aperiam in parabolis os meum, eructabo abscondita a constitutione mundi.
that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things that have been kept secret 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 Jesus left the multitudes, and went into the house. And his disciples came to him and said: Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 Qui respondens ait illis: Qui seminat bonum semen, est Filius hominis.
He answered and said to them: He that 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.
the field is the world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom; the tares are the sons of the Wicked One;
39 Inimicus autem, qui seminavit ea, est diabolus. Messis vero, consummatio sæculi est. Messores autem, angeli sunt. (aiōn g165)
the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Sicut ergo colliguntur zizania, et igni comburuntur: sic erit in consummatione sæculi. (aiōn g165)
As, therefore, the tares are collected and burned in fire, so shall it be in 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 angels, and collect out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who work iniquity,
42 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.
43 Tunc iusti fulgebunt sicut sol in regno Patris eorum. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that 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 heaven is like a treasure hid in a field, which, when a man finds it, he hides; and for the joy it gives, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
45 Iterum simile est regnum cælorum homini negotiatori, quærenti bonas margaritas.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking goodly pearls.
46 Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quæ habuit, et emit eam.
When he finds one pearl of great value, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys it.
47 Iterum simile est regnum cælorum sagenæ missæ in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that is cast into the sea, and that gathers of every kind:
48 Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt.
when it is full, they draw it to the shore; and sitting down, they collect the good into vessels, but throw the bad away.
49 Sic erit in consummatione sæculi: exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio iustorum, (aiōn g165)
So shall it be in the end of the age: the angels shall come forth and separate the wicked 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.
Jesus said to them: Have you understood all these things? They said 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.
He said to them: Therefore, every scribe that is trained for the kingdom of heaven, is like the master of a house, who brings out of his treasury things new and old.
53 Et factum est, cum consummasset Iesus parabolas istas, transiit inde.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place.
54 Et veniens in patriam suam, docebat eos in synagogis eorum, ita ut mirarentur, et dicerent: Unde huic sapientia hæc, et virtutes?
And he came into his own country, and taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said: Whence has this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
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 son of the carpenter? 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 with us? Whence, then, has this man all these things?
57 Et scandalizabantur in eo. Iesus autem dixit eis: Non est propheta sine honore nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua.
And they found in him occasion for offense. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, unless it be in his own country and in his own house.
58 Et non fecit ibi virtutes multas propter incredulitatem illorum.
And he did not many mighty works there, on account of their unbelief.
