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 seaside.
2 Et congregatæ sunt ad eum turbæ multæ, ita ut naviculam ascendens sederet: et omnis turba stabat in littore,
And large crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.
3 et locutus est eis multa in parabolis, dicens: Ecce exiit qui seminat, seminare.
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Look, a farmer 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 roadside, 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.
And others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
6 sole autem orto æstuaverunt: et quia non habebant radicem, aruerunt.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched. 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 grew up and choked them.
8 Alia autem ceciderunt in terram bonam: et dabant fructum aliud centesimum, aliud sexagesimum, aliud trigesimum.
Still others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and 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?
Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
11 Qui respondens, ait illis: Quia vobis datum est nosse mysteria regni cælorum: illis autem non est datum.
And answering, he said to them, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but it is not given to them.
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 does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
13 Ideo in parabolis loquor eis: quia videntes non vident, et audientes non audiunt, neque intelligunt.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither 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 the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'In hearing you will hear, but will not understand, and seeing you will see, but 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 grown dull, and their ears are sluggish in hearing, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn back, and I would heal them.'
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 truly I tell you that many prophets and righteous people desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
18 Vos ergo audite parabolam seminantis.
"Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
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 anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
20 Qui autem super petrosa seminatus est, hic est, qui verbum audit, et continuo cum gaudio accipit illud:
And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
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. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
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 what was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches 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.
And what was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who truly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."
24 Aliam parabolam proposuit illis, dicens: Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini, qui seminavit bonum semen in agro suo.
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field,
25 cum autem dormirent homines, venit inimicus eius, et superseminavit zizania in medio tritici, et abiit.
but while everyone slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
26 Cum autem crevisset herba, et fructum fecisset, tunc apparuerunt et zizania.
But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.
27 Accedentes autem servi patrisfamilias, dixerunt ei: Domine, nonne bonum semen seminasti in agro tuo? Unde ergo habet zizania?
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these tares come from?'
28 Et ait illis: Inimicus homo hoc fecit: Servi autem dixerunt ei, Vis, imus, et colligimus ea?
"And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "And the servants asked him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them up?'
29 Et ait: Non: ne forte colligentes zizania, eradicetis simul cum eis et triticum.
"But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up 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 until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the tares, and bind them in bundles 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 another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which 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.
which indeed is least of all the seeds. But when it has grown it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest 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 yeast, which a woman took, and 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 crowds; 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 it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the beginning of the world."
36 Tunc, dimissis turbis, venit in domum: et accesserunt ad eum discipuli eius, dicentes: Edissere nobis parabolam zizaniorum agri.
Then Jesus sent the crowds away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field."
37 Qui respondens ait illis: Qui seminat bonum semen, est Filius hominis.
And he answered them, "The one 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 children of the Kingdom; and the tares are the children of the evil one,
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 angels. (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 with fire; so will it be at the end of the 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 out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,
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 weeping and the grinding of teeth.
43 Tunc iusti fulgebunt sicut sol in regno Patris eorum. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, 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.
"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, 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 man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quæ habuit, et emit eam.
and having found one pearl of great price, he went and 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 a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
48 Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt.
which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49 Sic erit in consummatione sæculi: exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio iustorum, (aiōn g165)
So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked 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 grinding of teeth."
51 Intellexistis hæc omnia? Dicunt ei: Etiam.
"Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes."
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, "Therefore, every scribe who has been made a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things."
53 Et factum est, cum consummasset Iesus parabolas istas, transiit inde.
And it happened that when Jesus had 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 coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get 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 carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
56 et sorores eius, nonne omnes apud nos sunt? Unde ergo huic omnia ista?
And are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of 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 were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."
58 Et non fecit ibi virtutes multas propter incredulitatem illorum.
And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
