Matthew 13
1 Ní ọjọ́ kan náà, Jesu kúrò ní ilé, ó jókòó sí etí Òkun.
On that day, Jesus, going out of the house, was sitting near the sea:
2 Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn péjọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó fi bọ́ sínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, ó jókòó, gbogbo ènìyàn sì dúró létí Òkun.
and there were gathered unto him, large multitudes, so that, he, into a boat, entered, and was sitting, and, all the multitude, on the beach was standing.
3 Nígbà náà ni ó fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ òwe bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀, wí pé, “Àgbẹ̀ kan jáde lọ gbin irúgbìn sínú oko rẹ̀.
And he spake unto them many things, in parables, saying: Lo! the sower went forth to sow, —
4 Bí ó sì ti gbin irúgbìn náà, díẹ̀ bọ́ sí ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà, àwọn ẹyẹ sì wá, wọ́n sì jẹ ẹ́.
and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell by the pathway, and, the birds, came, and devoured it;
5 Díẹ̀ bọ́ sórí ilẹ̀ orí àpáta, níbi ti kò sí erùpẹ̀ púpọ̀. Àwọn irúgbìn náà sì dàgbàsókè kíákíá, nítorí erùpẹ̀ kò pọ̀ lórí wọn.
And, some, fell on the rocky places, where it had not much earth, —and, straightway, it sprang up, because if had no depth of earth;
6 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí oòrùn gòkè, oòrùn gbígbóná jó wọn, gbogbo wọn sì rọ, wọ́n kú nítorí wọn kò ni gbòǹgbò.
and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;
7 Àwọn irúgbìn mìíràn bọ́ sí àárín ẹ̀gún, ẹ̀gún sì dàgbà, ó sì fún wọn pa.
And, some, fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up, and choked it;
8 Ṣùgbọ́n díẹ̀ tó bọ́ sórí ilẹ̀ rere, ó sì so èso, òmíràn ọgọ́rùn-ún, òmíràn ọgọ́tọ̀ọ̀ta, òmíràn ọgbọọgbọ̀n, ni ìlọ́po èyí ti ó gbìn.
But, some, fell upon the good ground, and did yield fruit, —this, indeed a hundred fold, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
9 Ẹni tí ó bá létí, kí ó gbọ́.”
He that hath ears, let him hear.
10 Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọ́n bí i pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ ń fi òwe bá àwọn ènìyàn sọ̀rọ̀?”
And the disciples, coming near, said to him, Wherefore, in parables, art thou speaking to them?
11 Ó sì da wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ni a ti fi fún láti mọ ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ ìjọba ọ̀run, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe fún wọn.
And, he, answering, said, Because, unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, —whereas, unto them, hath it not been given.
12 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ní, òun ni a ó fún sí i, yóò sì ní lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n lọ́wọ́ ẹni tí kò ní, ni a ó ti gbà èyí kékeré tí ó ní náà.
For, whosoever hath, it shall be given, to him, and he shall be made to abound, —but, whoever hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him?
13 Ìdí nìyìí tí mo fi ń fi òwe bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀: “Ní ti rí rí, wọn kò rí; ní ti gbígbọ́ wọn kò gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì yé wọn.
For this reason, in parables, unto them, do I speak, —because, seeing, they see not, and, hearing, they hear not, —neither do they understand.
14 Sí ara wọn ni a ti mú àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ wòlíì Isaiah ṣẹ: “‘Ní gbígbọ́ ẹ̀yin yóò gbọ́ ṣùgbọ́n kì yóò sì yé yín; ní rí rí ẹ̀yin yóò rí, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì mòye.
And, again is being fulfilled in them, the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, —They shall, surely hear, and yet will not understand, and, surely see, and yet not perceive;
15 Nítorí àyà àwọn ènìyàn yìí sébọ́ etí wọn sì wúwo láti gbọ́ ojú wọn ni wọ́n sì dì nítorí kí àwọn má ba à fi ojú wọn rí kí wọ́n má ba à fi etí wọn gbọ́ kí wọn má ba à fi àyà wọn mọ̀ òye, kí wọn má ba à yípadà, kí èmi ba à le mú wọn láradá.’
For the heart of this people hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed, —lest, once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return; when I would certainly heal them.
16 Ṣùgbọ́n ìbùkún ni fún ojú yín, nítorí wọ́n ríran, àti fún etí yín, nítorí ti wọ́n gbọ́.
But happy are, your, eyes, that they see, and your ears, that they hear;
17 Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn wòlíì àti ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ti fẹ́ rí ohun tí ẹ̀yin ti rí, ki wọ́n sì gbọ́ ohun tí ẹ ti gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò ṣe é ṣe fún wọn.
For, verily, I say unto you—Many prophets and righteous men, have coveted to see what ye see, and have not seen, and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard.
18 “Nítorí náà, ẹ fi etí sí ohun tí òwe afúnrúgbìn túmọ̀ sí,
Hear, ye, then, the parable of him that sowed: —
19 nígbà tí ẹnikẹ́ni bá gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ nípa ìjọba ọ̀run ṣùgbọ́n tí kò yé e, lẹ́yìn náà èṣù á wá, a sì gba èyí tí a fún sí ọkàn rẹ̀ kúrò. Èyí ni irúgbìn ti a fún sí ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà.
When anyone heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the wicked one cometh, and catcheth up that which hath been sown in his heart, —this, is he, by the pathway, sown.
20 Ẹni tí ó sì gba irúgbìn tí ó bọ́ sí ilẹ̀ orí àpáta, ni ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, lọ́gán, ó sì fi ayọ̀ gba ọ̀rọ̀ náà.
And, he on the rocky places sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, and, straightway, with joy, receiveth it;
21 Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí kò ní gbòǹgbò, ó wà fún ìgbà díẹ̀; nígbà tí wàhálà àti inúnibíni bá dìde nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ náà ní ojú kan náà yóò sì kọsẹ̀.
yet hath he no root in himself, but is, only for a season, —and, there arising, tribulation or persecution because of the word, straightway, he findeth cause of stumbling.
22 Ẹni tí ó si gba irúgbìn tí ó bọ́ sí àárín ẹ̀gún ni ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àníyàn ayé yìí, ìtànjẹ, ọrọ̀ sì fún ọ̀rọ̀ náà pa, ọ̀rọ̀ náà kò so èso nínú rẹ̀. (aiōn g165)
And, he among the thorns sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, —and, the anxiety of the age and the deceit of riches, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh. (aiōn g165)
23 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó gba irúgbìn tí ó bọ́ sí orí ilẹ̀ rere ni ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, tí ó sì yé e; òun sì so èso òmíràn ọgọ́rọ̀ọ̀rùn, òmíràn ọgọ́tọ̀ọ̀ta, òmíràn ọgbọọgbọ̀n.”
But, he on the good ground sown, the same, is he who doth hear and understand the word, who, indeed, beareth fruit and produceth, —this, a hundred, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
24 Jesu tún pa òwe mìíràn fún wọn: “Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí àgbẹ̀ kan tí ó gbin irúgbìn rere sí oko rẹ̀,
Another parable, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man sowing good seed in his field;
25 ṣùgbọ́n ní òru ọjọ́ kan, nígbà tí ó sùn, ọ̀tá rẹ̀ wá sí oko náà ó sì gbin èpò sáàrín alikama, ó sì bá tirẹ̀ lọ.
and, while men were sleeping, his enemy came, and sowed over darnel, in among the wheat, —and away he went.
26 Nígbà tí alikama náà bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí dàgbà, tí ó sì so èso, nígbà náà ni èpò náà fi ara hàn.
And, when the blade shot up, and brought forth, fruit, then, appeared, the darnel also.
27 “Àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ àgbẹ̀ náà wá, wọ́n sọ fún un pé, ‘Ọ̀gá, irúgbìn rere kọ́ ni ìwọ ha gbìn sí oko rẹ nì? Báwo ni èpò ṣe wà níbẹ̀ nígbà náà?’
And the servants of the householder, coming near, said to him, —Sir! was it not, good seed, thou didst sow in thy field? Whence then hath it, darnel?
28 “Ó sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ọ̀tá ni ó ṣe èyí.’ “Àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ tún bí i pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ha fẹ́ kí a fa èpò náà tu kúrò?’
And he said unto them—An enemy, hath, done this. And they say, unto him—Wilt thou, then, that we go and collect it?
29 “Ó dá wọn lóhùn pé, ‘Rárá, nítorí bí ẹ̀yin bá ń tu èpò kúrò, ẹ ó tu alikama dànù pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
And, he, saith—Nay! lest, at any time, while collecting the darnel, ye uproot, along with it, the wheat:
30 Ẹ jẹ́ kí àwọn méjèèjì máa dàgbà pọ̀, títí di àsìkò ìkórè. Èmi yóò sọ fún àwọn olùkórè náà láti kọ́kọ́ ṣa àwọn èpò kúrò kí wọ́n sì dìwọ́n ní ìtí, kí a sì sun wọn, kí wọ́n sì kó alikama sínú àká mi.’”
Suffer both to grow together until the harvest, and at, harvest time, I will say unto the reapers, —Collect ye first, the darnel, and bind it into bundles, with a view to the burning it up; but, the wheat, be gathering it into my barn.
31 Jesu tún pa òwe mìíràn fún wọn: “Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí èso hóró musitadi, èyí tí ọkùnrin kan mú tí ó gbìn sínú oko rẹ̀.
Another parable, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;
32 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ èso tí ó kéré púpọ̀ láàrín èso rẹ̀, síbẹ̀ ó wá di ohun ọ̀gbìn tí ó tóbi jọjọ. Ó sì wá di igi tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run sì wá, wọ́n sì fi ẹ̀ka rẹ ṣe ibùgbé.”
which, indeed, is, less, than all seeds, but, when grown, is greater than garden-plants, and becometh a tree, —so that the birds of heaven come, and lodge among its branches.
33 Ó tún pa òwe mìíràn fún wọn: “Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí ìwúkàrà tí obìnrin kan mú tí ó pò mọ́ ìyẹ̀fun púpọ̀ títí tí gbogbo rẹ fi di wíwú.”
Another parable, [spake he unto them]: —The kingdom of the heavens is like, unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour until, the whole, was leavened.
34 Òwe ni Jesu fi sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún àwọn ènìyàn, òwe ni ó fi bá wọn sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tó sọ.
All these things, spake Jesus in parables, unto the multitudes, and, without a parable, was he speaking, nothing, unto them:
35 Kí ọ̀rọ̀ tí a ti ẹnu àwọn wòlíì sọ lé wá sí ìmúṣẹ pé: “Èmi yóò ya ẹnu mi láti fi òwe sọ̀rọ̀. Èmi yóò sọ àwọn ohun tí ó fi ara sin láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé wá.”
that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through the prophet, saying—I will open, in parables, my mouth, I will bring up things hidden from the foundation!
36 Lẹ́yìn náà ó sì fi ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sílẹ̀ lóde, ó wọ ilé lọ. Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọn wí pé, “Ṣàlàyé òwe èpò inú oko fún wa.”
Then, dismissing the multitudes, he went into the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying—Make quite plain to us the parable of the darnel of the field.
37 Ó sì dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ọmọ Ènìyàn ni ẹni tí ó ń fúnrúgbìn rere.
And, he, answering, said—He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of Man;
38 Ayé ni oko náà; irúgbìn rere ni àwọn ènìyàn ti ìjọba ọ̀run. Èpò ni àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n jẹ́ ti èṣù,
And, the field, is the world, and, the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, —and, the darnel seeds, are the sons of the evil one;
39 ọ̀tá tí ó gbin àwọn èpò sáàrín alikama ni èṣù. Ìkórè ni òpin ayé, àwọn olùkórè sì ní àwọn angẹli. (aiōn g165)
And, the enemy that sowed them, is the adversary, and, the harvest, is, the conclusion of an age, and, the reapers, are, messengers. (aiōn g165)
40 “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kó èpò jọ, tí a sì sun ún nínú iná, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni yóò rí ní ìgbẹ̀yìn ayé. (aiōn g165)
Just, therefore, as collected is the darnel, and, with fire is burned, so, will it be in the conclusion of the age: — (aiōn g165)
41 Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò ran àwọn angẹli rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì kó gbogbo ohun tó ń mú ni dẹ́ṣẹ̀ kúrò ní ìjọba rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ènìyàn búburú.
The Son of Man will send forth his messengers, and they will collect, out of his kingdom, all the causes of stumbling, and the doers of lawlessness,
42 Wọn yóò sì sọ wọ́n sí inú iná ìléru, níbi ti ẹkún òun ìpayínkeke yóò gbé wà.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Nígbà náà ni àwọn olódodo yóò máa ràn bí oòrùn ní ìjọba Baba wọn. Ẹni tí ó bá létí, jẹ́ kí ó gbọ́.
Then, the righteous, will shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear!
44 “Ìjọba ọ̀run sì dàbí ìṣúra kan tí a fi pamọ́ sínú oko. Nígbà tí ọkùnrin kan rí i ó tún fi í pamọ́. Nítorí ayọ̀ rẹ̀, ó ta gbogbo ohun ìní rẹ̀, ó ra oko náà.
The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a treasure hid in the field, which a man, finding, hid, —and, by reason of his joy, withdraweth and selleth whatsoever he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 “Bákan náà ni ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí oníṣòwò kan tí ó ń wá òkúta olówó iyebíye láti rà.
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is, like, unto, a merchant, seeking beautiful pearls, —
46 Nígbà tí ó rí ọ̀kan tí ó ni iye lórí, ó lọ láti ta gbogbo ohun ìní rẹ̀ láti le rà á.
and, finding one very precious pearl, departing, he at once sold all things, whatsoever he had, and bought it.
47 “Bákan náà, a sì tún lè fi ìjọba ọ̀run wé àwọ̀n kan tí a jù sínú odò, ó sì kó onírúurú ẹja.
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a large drag-net, cast into the sea and gathering of every kind, —
48 Nígbà tí àwọ̀n náà sì kún, àwọn apẹja fà á sókè sí etí bèbè Òkun, wọ́n jókòó, wọ́n sì ṣa àwọn èyí tí ó dára sínú apẹ̀rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n da àwọn tí kò dára nù.
which, when it was filled, they dragged up on the beach, and, sitting down, collected the good into vessels, but, the worthless, forth they cast.
49 Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni yóò rí ní ìgbẹ̀yìn ayé. Àwọn angẹli yóò wá láti ya àwọn ènìyàn búburú kúrò lára àwọn olódodo. (aiōn g165)
So, will it be in the conclusion of the age: The messengers will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous; (aiōn g165)
50 Wọn ó sì ju àwọn ènìyàn búburú sínú iná ìléru náà, ní ibi ti ẹkún àti ìpayínkeke yóò gbé wà.”
and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesu bí wọn léèrè pé, “Ǹjẹ́ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí yé yín.” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ó yé wa.”
Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea!
52 Ó wí fún wọn pé, “Nítorí náà ni olúkúlùkù olùkọ́ òfin tí ó ti di ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn ní ìjọba ọ̀run ṣe dàbí ọkùnrin kan tí í ṣe baálé ilé, tí ó mú ìṣúra tuntun àti èyí tí ó ti gbó jáde láti inú yàrá ìṣúra rẹ̀.”
And, he, said unto them—Wherefore, every scribe, discipled unto the kingdom of the heavens, is like unto a householder, who putteth forth out of his treasure, things new and old.
53 Lẹ́yìn ti Jesu ti parí òwe wọ̀nyí, ó ti ibẹ̀ kúrò.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he removed from thence;
54 Ó wá sí ìlú òun tìkára rẹ̀, níbẹ̀ ni ó ti ń kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn nínú Sinagọgu, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n. Wọ́n béèrè pé, “Níbo ni ọkùnrin yìí ti mú ọgbọ́n yìí àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu wọ̀nyí wá?
and, coming into his own city, began teaching them in their synagogue, so that with astonishment were they being struck, and were saying—Whence, hath, this one, this wisdom, and the mighty works?
55 Kì í ha ṣe ọmọ gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà ni èyí bí? Ìyá rẹ̀ ha kọ́ ni à ń pè ní Maria bí? Arákùnrin rẹ̀ ha kọ́ ni Jakọbu, Josẹfu, Simoni àti Judasi bí?
Is not, this one, the carpenter’s, son? Is not, his mother, called Mary, and are not his brethren—James and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Àwọn arábìnrin rẹ̀ gbogbo ha kọ́ ni ó ń bá wa gbé níhìn-ín yìí, nígbà náà níbo ni ọkùnrin yìí ti rí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí?”
and, his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence, then hath, this one, all these things?
57 Inú bí wọn sí i. Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Wòlíì a máa lọ́lá ní ibòmíràn, àfi ní ilé ara rẹ̀ àti ní ìlú ara rẹ̀ nìkan ni wòlíì kò ti lọ́lá.”
And they began to find cause of stumbling in him. But, Jesus, said unto them—A prophet is not without honour, save in his city, and in his house.
58 Nítorí náà kò ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu kankan níbẹ̀, nítorí àìnígbàgbọ́ wọn.
And he did not, there, many mighty works, because of their unbelief.
