mathiḥ 13
1 aparañca tasmin dine yīśuḥ sadmano gatvā saritpate rodhasi samupaviveśa|
On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
2 tatra tatsannidhau bahujanānāṁ nivahopasthiteḥ sa taraṇimāruhya samupāviśat, tena mānavā rodhasi sthitavantaḥ|
And large crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.
3 tadānīṁ sa dṛṣṭāntaistān itthaṁ bahuśa upadiṣṭavān| paśyata, kaścit kṛṣīvalo bījāni vaptuṁ bahirjagāma,
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Look, a farmer went out to sow.
4 tasya vapanakāle katipayabījeṣu mārgapārśve patiteṣu vihagāstāni bhakṣitavantaḥ|
And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 aparaṁ katipayabījeṣu stokamṛdyuktapāṣāṇe patiteṣu mṛdalpatvāt tatkṣaṇāt tānyaṅkuritāni,
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 kintu ravāvudite dagdhāni teṣāṁ mūlāpraviṣṭatvāt śuṣkatāṁ gatāni ca|
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7 aparaṁ katipayabījeṣu kaṇṭakānāṁ madhye patiteṣu kaṇṭakānyedhitvā tāni jagrasuḥ|
Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8 aparañca katipayabījāni urvvarāyāṁ patitāni; teṣāṁ madhye kānicit śataguṇāni kānicit ṣaṣṭiguṇāni kānicit triṁśaguṁṇāni phalāni phalitavanti|
Still others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 śrotuṁ yasya śrutī āsāte sa śṛṇuyāt|
He who has ears, let him hear."
10 anantaraṁ śiṣyairāgatya so'pṛcchyata, bhavatā tebhyaḥ kuto dṛṣṭāntakathā kathyate?
Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
11 tataḥ sa pratyavadat, svargarājyasya nigūḍhāṁ kathāṁ vedituṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ sāmarthyamadāyi, kintu tebhyo nādāyi|
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 yasmād yasyāntike varddhate, tasmāyeva dāyiṣyate, tasmāt tasya bāhulyaṁ bhaviṣyati, kintu yasyāntike na varddhate, tasya yat kiñcanāste, tadapi tasmād ādāyiṣyate|
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 te paśyantopi na paśyanti, śṛṇvantopi na śṛṇvanti, budhyamānā api na budhyante ca, tasmāt tebhyo dṛṣṭāntakathā kathyate|
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
14 yathā karṇaiḥ śroṣyatha yūyaṁ vai kintu yūyaṁ na bhotsyatha| netrairdrakṣyatha yūyañca parijñātuṁ na śakṣyatha| te mānuṣā yathā naiva paripaśyanti locanaiḥ| karṇai ryathā na śṛṇvanti na budhyante ca mānasaiḥ| vyāvarttiteṣu citteṣu kāle kutrāpi tairjanaiḥ| mattaste manujāḥ svasthā yathā naiva bhavanti ca| tathā teṣāṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ kriyante sthūlabuddhayaḥ| badhirībhūtakarṇāśca jātāśca mudritā dṛśaḥ|
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 yadetāni vacanāni yiśayiyabhaviṣyadvādinā proktāni teṣu tāni phalanti|
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 kintu yuṣmākaṁ nayanāni dhanyāni, yasmāt tāni vīkṣante; dhanyāśca yuṣmākaṁ śabdagrahāḥ, yasmāt tairākarṇyate|
"But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 mayā yūyaṁ tathyaṁ vacāmi yuṣmābhi ryadyad vīkṣyate, tad bahavo bhaviṣyadvādino dhārmmikāśca mānavā didṛkṣantopi draṣṭuṁ nālabhanta, punaśca yūyaṁ yadyat śṛṇutha, tat te śuśrūṣamāṇā api śrotuṁ nālabhanta|
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 kṛṣīvalīyadṛṣṭāntasyārthaṁ śṛṇuta|
"Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
19 mārgapārśve bījānyuptāni tasyārtha eṣaḥ, yadā kaścit rājyasya kathāṁ niśamya na budhyate, tadā pāpātmāgatya tadīyamanasa uptāṁ kathāṁ haran nayati|
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 aparaṁ pāṣāṇasthale bījānyuptāni tasyārtha eṣaḥ; kaścit kathāṁ śrutvaiva harṣacittena gṛhlāti,
And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
21 kintu tasya manasi mūlāpraviṣṭatvāt sa kiñcitkālamātraṁ sthirastiṣṭhati; paścāta tatkathākāraṇāt kopi klestāḍanā vā cet jāyate, tarhi sa tatkṣaṇād vighnameti|
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 aparaṁ kaṇṭakānāṁ madhye bījānyuptāni tadartha eṣaḥ; kenacit kathāyāṁ śrutāyāṁ sāṁsārikacintābhi rbhrāntibhiśca sā grasyate, tena sā mā viphalā bhavati| (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 aparam urvvarāyāṁ bījānyuptāni tadartha eṣaḥ; ye tāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā vudhyante, te phalitāḥ santaḥ kecit śataguṇāni kecita ṣaṣṭiguṇāni kecicca triṁśadguṇāni phalāni janayanti|
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 anantaraṁ soparāmekāṁ dṛṣṭāntakathāmupasthāpya tebhyaḥ kathayāmāsa; svargīyarājyaṁ tādṛśena kenacid gṛhasthenopamīyate, yena svīyakṣetre praśastabījānyaupyanta|
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field,
25 kintu kṣaṇadāyāṁ sakalalokeṣu supteṣu tasya ripurāgatya teṣāṁ godhūmabījānāṁ madhye vanyayavamabījānyuptvā vavrāja|
but while everyone slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
26 tato yadā bījebhyo'ṅkarā jāyamānāḥ kaṇiśāni ghṛtavantaḥ; tadā vanyayavasānyapi dṛśyamānānyabhavan|
But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.
27 tato gṛhasthasya dāseyā āgamya tasmai kathayāñcakruḥ, he maheccha, bhavatā kiṁ kṣetre bhadrabījāni naupyanta? tathātve vanyayavasāni kṛta āyan?
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 tadānīṁ tena te pratigaditāḥ, kenacit ripuṇā karmmadamakāri| dāseyāḥ kathayāmāsuḥ, vayaṁ gatvā tānyutpāyya kṣipāmo bhavataḥ kīdṛśīcchā jāyate?
"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 tenāvādi, nahi, śaṅke'haṁ vanyayavasotpāṭanakāle yuṣmābhistaiḥ sākaṁ godhūmā apyutpāṭiṣyante|
"But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the tares, you root up the wheat with them.
30 ataḥ śsyakarttanakālaṁ yāvad ubhayānyapi saha varddhantāṁ, paścāt karttanakāle karttakān vakṣyāmi, yūyamādau vanyayavasāni saṁgṛhya dāhayituṁ vīṭikā badvvā sthāpayata; kintu sarvve godhūmā yuṣmābhi rbhāṇḍāgāraṁ nītvā sthāpyantām|
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 anantaraṁ soparāmekāṁ dṛṣṭāntakathāmutthāpya tebhyaḥ kathitavān kaścinmanujaḥ sarṣapabījamekaṁ nītvā svakṣetra uvāpa|
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 sarṣapabījaṁ sarvvasmād bījāt kṣudramapi sadaṅkuritaṁ sarvvasmāt śākāt bṛhad bhavati; sa tādṛśastaru rbhavati, yasya śākhāsu nabhasaḥ khagā āgatya nivasanti; svargīyarājyaṁ tādṛśasya sarṣapaikasya samam|
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 punarapi sa upamākathāmekāṁ tebhyaḥ kathayāñcakāra; kācana yoṣit yat kiṇvamādāya droṇatrayamitagodhūmacūrṇānāṁ madhye sarvveṣāṁ miśrībhavanaparyyantaṁ samācchādya nidhattavatī, tatkiṇvamiva svargarājyaṁ|
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 itthaṁ yīśu rmanujanivahānāṁ sannidhāvupamākathābhiretānyākhyānāni kathitavān upamāṁ vinā tebhyaḥ kimapi kathāṁ nākathayat|
Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,
35 etena dṛṣṭāntīyena vākyena vyādāya vadanaṁ nijaṁ| ahaṁ prakāśayiṣyāmi guptavākyaṁ purābhavaṁ| yadetadvacanaṁ bhaviṣyadvādinā proktamāsīt, tat siddhamabhavat|
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 sarvvān manujān visṛjya yīśau gṛhaṁ praviṣṭe tacchiṣyā āgatya yīśave kathitavantaḥ, kṣetrasya vanyayavasīyadṛṣṭāntakathām bhavāna asmān spaṣṭīkṛtya vadatu|
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 tataḥ sa pratyuvāca, yena bhadrabījānyupyante sa manujaputraḥ,
And he answered them, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38 kṣetraṁ jagat, bhadrabījānī rājyasya santānāḥ,
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 vanyayavasāni pāpātmanaḥ santānāḥ| yena ripuṇā tānyuptāni sa śayatānaḥ, karttanasamayaśca jagataḥ śeṣaḥ, karttakāḥ svargīyadūtāḥ| (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)
As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 arthāt manujasutaḥ svāṁyadūtān preṣayiṣyati, tena te ca tasya rājyāt sarvvān vighnakāriṇo'dhārmmikalokāṁśca saṁgṛhya
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 yatra rodanaṁ dantagharṣaṇañca bhavati, tatrāgnikuṇḍe nikṣepsyanti|
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the grinding of teeth.
43 tadānīṁ dhārmmikalokāḥ sveṣāṁ pitū rājye bhāskara̮iva tejasvino bhaviṣyanti| śrotuṁ yasya śrutī āsāte, ma śṛṇuyāt|
Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
44 aparañca kṣetramadhye nidhiṁ paśyan yo gopayati, tataḥ paraṁ sānando gatvā svīyasarvvasvaṁ vikrīya ttakṣetraṁ krīṇāti, sa iva svargarājyaṁ|
"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 anyañca yo vaṇik uttamāṁ muktāṁ gaveṣayan
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 mahārghāṁ muktāṁ vilokya nijasarvvasvaṁ vikrīya tāṁ krīṇāti, sa iva svargarājyaṁ|
and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 punaśca samudro nikṣiptaḥ sarvvaprakāramīnasaṁgrāhyānāya̮iva svargarājyaṁ|
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
48 tasmin ānāye pūrṇe janā yathā rodhasyuttolya samupaviśya praśastamīnān saṁgrahya bhājaneṣu nidadhate, kutsitān nikṣipanti;
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 tathaiva jagataḥ śeṣe bhaviṣyati, phalataḥ svargīyadūtā āgatya puṇyavajjanānāṁ madhyāt pāpinaḥ pṛthak kṛtvā vahnikuṇḍe nikṣepsyanti, (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 tatra rodanaṁ dantai rdantagharṣaṇañca bhaviṣyataḥ|
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the grinding of teeth."
51 yīśunā te pṛṣṭā yuṣmābhiḥ kimetānyākhyānānyabudhyanta? tadā te pratyavadan, satyaṁ prabho|
"Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes."
52 tadānīṁ sa kathitavān, nijabhāṇḍāgārāt navīnapurātanāni vastūni nirgamayati yo gṛhasthaḥ sa iva svargarājyamadhi śikṣitāḥ svarva upadeṣṭāraḥ|
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 anantaraṁ yīśuretāḥ sarvvā dṛṣṭāntakathāḥ samāpya tasmāt sthānāt pratasthe| aparaṁ svadeśamāgatya janān bhajanabhavana upadiṣṭavān;
And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 te vismayaṁ gatvā kathitavanta etasyaitādṛśaṁ jñānam āścaryyaṁ karmma ca kasmād ajāyata?
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 kimayaṁ sūtradhārasya putro nahi? etasya mātu rnāma ca kiṁ mariyam nahi? yākub-yūṣaph-śimon-yihūdāśca kimetasya bhrātaro nahi?
Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
56 etasya bhaginyaśca kimasmākaṁ madhye na santi? tarhi kasmādayametāni labdhavān? itthaṁ sa teṣāṁ vighnarūpo babhūva;
And are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"
57 tato yīśunā nigaditaṁ svadeśīyajanānāṁ madhyaṁ vinā bhaviṣyadvādī kutrāpyanyatra nāsammānyo bhavatī|
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 teṣāmaviśvāsahetoḥ sa tatra sthāne bahvāścaryyakarmmāṇi na kṛtavān|
And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
