| [1]In that but day went out Ieshu from the house and He sat down by the side of the sea |
[1]And in that day Jesus, having gone forth from the house, was sitting by the sea, |
| [2]And they were assembled unto him the crowds great so that He embarked seating Himself in a ship and all the crowds standing were on the beach by the sea |
[2]and gathered together unto him were many multitudes, so that he having gone into the boat did sit down, and all the multitude on the beach did stand, |
| [3]And much speaking He was with them in parables and He said behold went out a sower to sow |
[3]and he spake to them many things in similes, saying: `Lo, the sower went forth to sow, |
| [4]And as he sowed some fell on the side the road and came a bird and ate it |
[4]and in his sowing, some indeed fell by the way, and the fowls did come and devour them, |
| [5]And others fell on the rock where there not was soil much and son of an hour it sprouted because there not was depth of soil |
[5]and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth, and immediately they sprang forth, through not having depth of earth, |
| [6]When arose but the sun it became hot and because there not was to it roots it withered |
[6]and the sun having risen they were scorched, and through not having root, they withered, |
| [7]And others fell among the thorns and they came up the thorns and they choked it |
[7]and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns did come up and choke them, |
| [8]And others fell in the ground good and it yielded fruit some of a hundred and some of sixty and some of thirty |
[8]and others fell upon the good ground, and were giving fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty. |
| [9]Whoever is to him an ear that hears let him hear |
[9]He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.' |
| [10]And approached His disciples and they were saying to Him why? in parables speaking are you with them |
[10]And the disciples having come near, said to him, `Wherefore in similes dost thou speak to them?' |
| [11]He but answered and said to them to you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven to them but not it has been given |
[11]And he answering said to them that -- `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, and to these it hath not been given, |
| [12]To the one for that has it will be given it and will increase it |
[12]for whoever hath, it shall be given to him, and he shall have overabundance, and whoever hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken from him. |
| [13]And to the one that has not it even that which has he will be taken from him because of this in parables speaking I am with them because they who see also not are seeing and those hearing neither hear nor understand |
[13]`Because of this, in similes do I speak to them, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor understand, |
| [14]And is fulfilled in them the prophecy of Isaiah that says hearing you will hear and not you will understand and seeing you will see and not you will know |
[14]and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah, that saith, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive, |
| [15]Has become dense it for the heart of people this and with their ears hardly they have heard and their eyes they have shut lest they would see with their eyes and they would hear with their ears and they would understand in their hearts and they would be converted and I would heal them |
[15]for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal them. |
| [16]Your but blessings to your eyes for they are seeing and to your ears for they are hearing |
[16]`And happy are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear, |
| [17]Amen for I say to you that many prophets and righteous ones have yearned to see the things that seeing you are and not they saw and to hear the things that hearing you are and not they heard |
[17]for verily I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men did desire to see that which ye look on, and they did not see, and to hear that which ye hear, and they did not hear. |
| [18]You but hear the parable of the seed |
[18]`Ye, therefore, hear ye the simile of the sower: |
| [19]Everyone who hears the word of the Kingdom and not understands into him comes The Evil One and snatches the word that was sown in his heart this is that which upon the side the road was sown |
[19]Every one hearing the word of the reign, and not understanding -- the evil one doth come, and doth catch that which hath been sown in his heart; this is that sown by the way. |
| [20]That but which upon the rock was sown is the one who hears the word and son of a moment in joy he receives it |
[20]`And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who is hearing the word, and immediately with joy is receiving it, |
| [21]There are not for him but roots in him but temporal he is and when there is distress or persecution because of the word immediately he falls apart |
[21]and he hath not root in himself, but is temporary, and persecution or tribulation having happened because of the word, immediately he is stumbled. |
| [22]That ? which among the thorns was sown is the one who hears the word and the cares of world this and the deception of wealth choke it the word and without fruit that one is |
[22]`And that sown toward the thorns, this is he who is hearing the word, and the anxiety of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, do choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. |
| [23]That but which upon the ground good was sown is he who hears My word and understands and he yields fruit and produces some of a hundred and some of sixty and some of thirty |
[23]`And that sown on the good ground: this is he who is hearing the word, and is understanding, who indeed doth bear fruit, and doth make, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.' |
| [24]Another the parable He parabled to them and He said that is likened the Kingdom of Heaven to the man who sowed the seed good in his field |
[24]Another simile he set before them, saying: `The reign of the heavens was likened to a man sowing good seed in his field, |
| [25]And when slept men came his enemy and sowed tares among the wheat and he left |
[25]and, while men are sleeping, his enemy came and sowed darnel in the midst of the wheat, and went away, |
| [26]When but sprouted the grass it produced fruit then appeared also the tares |
[26]and when the herb sprang up, and yielded fruit, then appeared also the darnel. |
| [27]And approached his servants of the lord of the house and they said to him our lord not? behold seed good did you sow in your field from where? are in it tares |
[27]`And the servants of the householder, having come near, said to him, Sir, good seed didst thou not sow in thy field? whence then hath it the darnel? |
| [28]He but said to them a man an enemy has done this were saying to him his servants want? do you us to go to select out them |
[28]And he saith to them, A man, an enemy, did this; and the servants said to him, Wilt thou, then, [that] having gone away we may gather it up? |
| [29]He but said to them is it not? when collect you the tares you would uproot with them also the wheat |
[29]`And he said, No, lest -- gathering up the darnel -- ye root up with it the wheat, |
| [30]Let grow both as one until harvest and in the time of harvest shall say I to the reapers select out first the tares and bind them in bundles to burn the wheat but gather them to my granary |
[30]suffer both to grow together till the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the darnel, and bind it in bundles, to burn it, and the wheat gather up into my storehouse.' |
| [31]Another parable He parabled to them and said is likened the Kingdom of Heaven to a grain of Mustard seed that had taken a man sowing it in his field |
[31]Another simile he set before them, saying: `The reign of the heavens is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, did sow in his field, |
| [32]And this smallest is of all seeds whenever but it has grown greatest it is of all small herbs and becomes a tree so that may come a bird of the sky settle in its branches |
[32]which less, indeed, is than all the seeds, but when it may be grown, is greatest of the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven do come and rest in its branches.' |
| [33]Another parable He told them is likened the Kingdom of Heaven to yeast that which took a woman and hid in three measures of meal until all of it had fermented |
[33]Another simile spake he to them: `The reign of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.' |
| [34]These things all spoke Ieshu in parables to the crowds and without a parable not speaking he was with them |
[34]All these things spake Jesus in similes to the multitudes, and without a simile he was not speaking to them, |
| [35]So that should be fulfilled the thing that was spoken by the prophet that says I shall open my mouth in parables and I shall declare things hidden from before the foundation of the world |
[35]that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying, `I will open in similes my mouth, I will utter things having been hidden from the foundation of the world.' |
| [36]Then Ieshu left the crowds and came to the house and they came to him His disciples and they were saying to Him explain to us parable that of the tares and the field |
[36]Then having let away the multitudes, Jesus came to the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying, `Explain to us the simile of the darnel of the field.' |
| [37]He but answered and said to them he who sowed the seed good is the Son of Man |
[37]And he answering said to them, `He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Man, |
| [38]And the field is the world the seed but good the children are of the Kingdom the tares but are the children of The Evil One |
[38]and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the reign, and the darnel are the sons of the evil one, |
| [39]The enemy moreover who sowed them is Satan the harvest but is the end of the world the reapers and the angels |
[39]and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is a full end of the age, and the reapers are messengers. |
| [40]Just as therefore are gathered the tares and burn in the fire thus it will be in the end of world this |
[40]`As, then, the darnel is gathered up, and is burned with fire, so shall it be in the full end of this age, |
| [41]Will send The Son of Man His angels and they will select from His Kingdom all of those stumbling blocks and all those doers of evil |
[41]the Son of Man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather up out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing the unlawlessness, |
| [42]And they will cast them into the essence of fire there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth |
[42]and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth. |
| [43]Then the righteous will shine as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father whoever has to him an ear that will hear let him hear |
[43]`Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the reign of their Father. He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear. |
| [44]Again is likened the Kingdom of Heaven to treasure that was hidden in a field which found a man and hid and from his joy he went selling everything that is to him and he bought field that |
[44]`Again, the reign of the heavens is like to treasure hid in the field, which a man having found did hide, and from his joy goeth, and all, as much as he hath, he selleth, and buyeth that field. |
| [45]Again is likened the Kingdom of Heaven to the man a merchant who searching for was pearls precious |
[45]`Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a merchant, seeking goodly pearls, |
| [46]When but he found pearl a certain was valuable obviously he went selling everything whatsoever that is to him and bought it |
[46]who having found one pearl of great price, having gone away, hath sold all, as much as he had, and bought it. |
| [47]Again is like the Kingdom of Heaven a net that was cast into the sea and from every kind it collected |
[47]`Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a net that was cast into the sea, and did gather together of every kind, |
| [48]And when it was full they brought it up to the shore of the sea and they sat and selected out and the good they placed in vessels and the bad they threw out |
[48]which, when it was filled, having drawn up again upon the beach, and having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, and the bad they did cast out, |
| [49]Thus it will be in the end of the world will go forth the angels and they will separate the wicked from among the righteous |
[49]so shall it be in the full end of the age, the messengers shall come forth and separate the evil out of the midst of the righteous, |
| [50]And they will cast them into the essence of fire there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth |
[50]and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.' |
| [51]Said to them Ieshu have you understood? all these things they were saying to Him yes our Lord |
[51]Jesus saith to them, `Did ye understand all these?' They say to him, `Yes, sir.' |
| [52]He said to them because of this every scribe who is instructed for the kingdom of Heaven is like the man the lord of the house who brings from his treasure new things and old things |
[52]And he said to them, `Because of this every scribe having been discipled in regard to the reign of the heavens, is like to a man, a householder, who doth bring forth out of his treasure things new and old.' |
| [53]And it was that when had finished Ieshu parables these He departed from there |
[53]And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these similes, he removed thence, |
| [54]And He came to His city and taught He them in their synagogues so that they would marvel and they would say from where? to Him This One wisdom this and the miracles |
[54]and having come to his own country, he was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and were saying, `Whence to this one this wisdom and the mighty works? |
| [55]Not? is This the son of the carpenter not? His mother is called Maryam and His brothers Yaqob and Yose and Shimeon and Yehuda |
[55]is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? |
| [56]And His sisters all not? behold with us they are from where? to Him therefore to This One these things all |
[56]and his sisters -- are they not all with us? whence, then, to this one all these?' |
| [57]And offended they were by Him He but Ieshu said to them there is not a prophet who is despised except in his city and in his home |
[57]and they were stumbled at him. And Jesus said to them, `A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and in his own house:' |
| [58]And not He did there miracles many because of dis- their trust |
[58]and he did not there many mighty works, because of their unbelief. |
