Mateo 13
1 Egun hartan berean Iesus etchetic ilkiric, iar cedin itsas costán.
That same day, when Jesus had left the house and was sitting by the Sea,
2 Eta bil cedin harengana gendetze anhitz, hambat non vnci batetara sarthuric iar baitzedin: eta gendetze gucia itsas costán cegoen.
such great crowds gathered round him, that he got into a boat, and sat in it, while all the people stood upon the beach.
3 Eta erran cieçén anhitz gauça comparationez, cioela, Huná, ereillebat ilki cedin ereitera.
Then he told them many truths in parables. “The sower,” he began, “went out to sow; and,
4 Eta ereitean hacitic batzu eror citecen bide bazterrera: eta choriac ethorri içan dirade, eta iretsi vkan dituzte hec.
as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5 Eta batzu erori içan dirade leku harriçuetara, non ezpaitzuten heuragui lurric: eta bertan ilki citecen, ceren ezpaitzuten lur barneric.
Some fell on rocky places, where it had not much soil, and, having no depth of soil, sprang up at once.
6 Guero iguzquia goratu eta, erre içan dirade, eta ceren ezpaitzuten erroric, eyarthu içan dirade.
As soon as the sun had risen, it was scorched, and, having no root, withered away.
7 Eta batzu erori içan dirade elhorri artera: eta handitu içan dirade elhorriac, eta itho vkan dituzte hec.
Some, again, fell into the brambles; but the brambles shot up and choked it.
8 Eta batzu erori içan dirade lur onera: eta fructu renda ceçaten, batac ehun, berceac hiruroguey, eta berceac hoguey eta hamar.
Some, however, fell on good soil, and yielded a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.
9 Ençuteco beharriric duenac, ençun beça.
Let him who has ears hear.”
10 Orduan hurbilduric discipuluéc erran cieçoten, Cergatic comparationez minço atzaye?
Afterwards his disciples came to him, and said: “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
11 Eta harc ihardesten çuela, erran ciecén, Ceren çuey eman baitzaiçue ceruètaco resumaco secretuén eçagutzea, baina hæy etzaye eman.
“To you,” answered Jesus, “the knowledge of the hidden truths of the Kingdom of Heaven has been imparted, but not to those.
12 Ecen norc-ere baitu, hari emanen çayó, eta hambatez guehiago vkanen du: baina norc-ere ezpaitu, hari duena-ere edequiren çayó.
For, to all who have, more will be given, and they shall have abundance; but, from all who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
13 Halacotz comparationez minço natzaye: ceren dacussatelaric ezpaitute ikusten, eta ençuten dutelaric ezpaitute ençuten, ez aditzen.
That is why I speak to them in parables, because, though they have eyes, they do not see, and though they have ears, they do not hear or understand.
14 Hala complitzen da hetan Esaiasen prophetiá, ceinec baitio, Ençutez ençunen duçue, eta ez adituren: eta dacussaçuela ikussiren duçue eta etzaizquiote oharturen.
And in them is being fulfilled that prophecy of Isaiah which says — ‘You will hear with your ears without ever understanding, and, though you have eyes, you will see without ever perceiving,
15 Ecen guicendua da populu hunen bihotza, eta beharriéz gogorqui ençun vkan duté, eta beguiac ertsi vkan dituzté: beguiez ikus, eta beharriéz ençun, eta bihotzaz adi ezteçaten, eta conuerti ez titecen, eta senda ez titzadan.
for the mind of this nation has grown dense, and their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes also have they closed; lest some day they should perceive with their eyes, and with their ears they should hear, and in their mind they should understand, and should turn — and I should heal them.’
16 Bada dohatsu dirade çuen beguiac, ecen ikusten duté: eta çuen beharriac, ecen ençuten duté.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear;
17 Ecen eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, anhitz Prophetac eta iustoc desiratu vkan dutela ikustera çuec ikusten dituçuen gaucén, eta ezpaitituzte ikussi: eta ençutera, ençuten dituçuen gaucén, eta ezpaitituzte ençun.
for I tell you that many Prophets and good men have longed for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never saw them, and to hear the things which you are hearing, yet never heard them.
18 Çuec bada ençuçue ereillearen comparationea.
Listen, then, yourselves to the parable of the Sower.
19 Noiz-ere nehorc ençuten baitu resuma hartaco hitza, eta ez aditzen, ethorten da Gaichto hura, eta harrapatzen du haren bihotzean erein cena: haur da bide bazterrean hacia recebitu duena.
When any one hears the Message of the Kingdom without understanding it, the Evil One comes and snatches away what has been sown in his mind. This is the man meant by the seed which was sown along the path.
20 Eta leku harriçuetara hacia recebitu duena, haur da, hitza ençuten, eta hura bertan bozcariorequin recebitzen duena:
By the seed which was sown on rocky places is meant the man who hears the Message, and at once accepts it joyfully;
21 Baina eztu erroric bere baithan, halacotz da iraute gutitaco: eta tribulationeric edo persecutioneric hitzagatic heltzen denean, bertan scandalizatzen da.
but, as he has no root, he stands for only a short time; and, when trouble or persecution arises on account of the Message, he falls away at once.
22 Eta elhorri artera hacia recebitu duena, haur da hitza ençuten duena, baina mundu hunetaco arthác, eta abrastassunezco enganioac ithotzen duté hitza, eta fructuric eztu eguiten. (aiōn g165)
By the seed which was sown among the brambles is meant the man who hears the Message, but the cares of life and the glamour of wealth completely choke the Message, so that it gives no return. (aiōn g165)
23 Baina lur onera hacia recebitu duena, haur da hitza ençuten eta aditzen duena, ceinec fructu ekarten baitu eta eguiten, batac ehun, eta berceac hiruroguey, eta berceac hoguey eta hamar.
But by the seed which was sown on the good ground is meant the man who hears the Message and understands it, and really yields a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.”
24 Berce comparationebat proposa ciecén, cioela, Comparatu da ceruètaco resumá haci ona bere landán erein duen guiçonarequin.
Another parable which Jesus told them was this — “The Kingdom of Heaven is compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 Baina guiçonac lo ceunçala, ethor cedin haren etsaya, eta erein ceçan hiraca, ogui artean: eta ioan cedin.
But, while every one was asleep, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and then went away.
26 Eta handitu cenean belharra, eta fructu eguin çuenean, orduan aguer cedin hiraca-ere.
So, when the blades of corn shot up, and came into ear, the tares made their appearance also.
27 Orduan ethorriric aitafamiliaren cerbitzariéc erran cieçoten, Iauna, eztuc haci ona erein eure landan? nondic du beraz hiraca?
On this the owner’s servants came to him, and said ‘Was not it good seed that you sowed in your field? Where, then, do the tares in it come from?’
28 Eta harc erran ciecén, Guiçon etsayac hori eguin du. Eta cerbitzariéc erran cieçoten, Nahi duc bada goacen eta bil deçagun hura?
‘An enemy has done this,’ was his answer. ‘Do you wish us, then,’ they asked,’ to go and gather them together?’
29 Eta harc erran ciecén, Ez: hiracaren biltzean oguia-ere idoqui ezteçaçuen harequin batean.
‘No,’ said he, ‘for fear that, while you are gathering the tares, you should root up the wheat as well.
30 Vtzitzaçue biac elkarrequin handitzera vzta-arterano: eta vzta demborán, erranen drauet biltzaley, Bil eçaçue lehenic hiracá, eta hers eçaçue açautoz erratzecotzat: baina oguia bil eçaçue ene granerera.
Let both grow side by side till harvest; and then I shall say to the reapers, Gather the tares together first, and tie them in bundles for burning; but bring all the wheat into my barn.’”
31 Berce comparationebat proposa ciecén, cioela, Comparatu da ceruètaco resumá, mustarda bihi guiçon batec harturic bere landán erein duenarequin.
Another parable which he told them was this — “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.
32 Cein baita haci gucietaco chipiena, baina handitu denean, berce belharrac baino handiago da: eta arbore bilhatzen da, hambat non ethorten baitirade ceruco choriac, eta ohatzeac eguiten baitituzte haren adarretan.
This seed is smaller than all other seeds, but, when it has grown up, it is larger than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that ‘the wild birds come and roost in its branches.’”
33 Berce comparationebat erran ciecén, cioela, Comparatu da ceruètaco resumá altchagarriarequin, cein emazte batec harturic hirur neurri irinen barnean gorde vkan baitu, gucia altcha dadin arterano.
This was another parable which Jesus related — “The Kingdom of Heaven is like some yeast which a woman took and covered up in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
34 Gauça hauc guciac erran cietzén Iesusec comparationez gendetzey, eta comparatione gabe etzayen minçatzen.
Of all this Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables; indeed to them he used never to speak at all except in parables,
35 Compli ledinçát Prophetáz erran içan dena, cioela, Irequiren dut comparationez neure ahoa: declaraturen ditut munduaren fundatzetic gorderic egon içan diraden gauçác.
in fulfilment of these words in the Prophet — ‘I will speak to them in parables; I will utter things kept secret since the foundation of the world.’
36 Orduan vtziric populua ethor cedin etchera Iesus: eta ethorri içan çaizcan bere discipuluac, cioitela, Declara ieçaguc landaco hiracaren comparationea.
Then Jesus left the crowd, and went into the house. Presently his disciples came to him, and said: “Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field.”
37 Eta harc ihardesten çuela érran ciecén, Haci ona ereiten duena da guiçonaren Semea.
And he answered: “The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 Eta landá da mundua: eta haci ona, resumaco haourrac dirade: eta hiracá, Gaichtoaren haourrac dirade:
The field is the world. By the good seed is meant the People of the Kingdom. The tares are the wicked,
39 Eta hura erein duen etsaya, da deabrua: eta vztá, munduaren fina da: eta vzta biltzaleac, Aingueruäc dirade. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the Devil. The harvest-time is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Bada hala nola biltzen baitute hiracá, eta suan erratzen, hala içanen da mundu hunen finean. (aiōn g165)
And, just as the tares are gathered and burnt, so it will be at the close of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Igorriren ditu guiçonaren Semeac bere Aingueruäc, eta bilduren dituzte haren resumatic scandalo guciac, eta iniquitate eguiten dutenac.
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom all that hinders and those who live in sin,
42 Eta egotziren dituzte labe daichecanera: han içanen da nigar eta hortz garrascots.
and ‘will throw them into the fiery furnace,’ where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 Orduan iustoéc arguituren duqueite iguzquiac beçala, bere Aitaren resumán. Ençuteco beharriric duenac ençun beça.
Then shall the righteous shine, like the sun, in the Kingdom of their Father. Let him who has ears hear.
44 Berriz comparatu da ceruètaco resumá thesaur landa batetan gorderic dagoenarequin, hura eridenic guiçon batec estali vkan du: eta harçazco bozcarióz ioaiten da, eta duen gucia saltzen du, eta landa hura erosten.
The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again, and then, in his delight, went and sold everything that he had, and bought that field.
45 Berriz comparatu da ceruètaco resumá guiçon marchant perla ederrén bilha dabilanarequin
Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant in search of choice pearls.
46 Ceinec precio handitaco perlabat eriden çuenean, ioanic sal baitzeçan çuen gucia, eta eros baitzeçan hura.
Finding one of great value, he went and sold everything that he had, and bought it.
47 Berriz comparatu da ceruètaco resumá sare itsassora egotzi batequin, eta gauça mota gucietaric biltzen duenarequin:
Or again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a net which was cast into the sea, and caught fish of all kinds.
48 Cein bethe içan cenean idoqui baitzeçaten vr ezpondara: eta iarriric bil citzaten onac vncietara, eta gaichtoac camporát iraitz citzaten.
When it was full, they hauled it up on the beach, and sat down and sorted the good fish into baskets, but threw the worthless ones away.
49 Hala içanen da munduaren finean: ethorriren dirade Aingueruäc, eta separaturen dituqueizte gaichtoac iustoén artetic. (aiōn g165)
So will it be at the close of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 Eta egotziren dituqueizte labe daichecanera: han içanen da nigar eta hortz garrascots.
and ‘will throw them into the fiery furnace,’ where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 Erraiten draue Iesusec, Aditu dituçue gauça hauc guciac? Diotsate, Bay Iauna.
Have you understood all this?” Jesus asked. “Yes,” they answered.
52 Eta harc erran ciecén, Halacotz Scriba ceruètaco resumán iracatsia den gucia, comparatu da cembeit aitafamilia bere thesauretic gauça berriric eta çaharric idoquiten duen batequin.
Then he added: “So every Teacher of the Law, who has received instruction about the Kingdom of Heaven, is like a householder who produces from his stores things both new and old.”
53 Eta guertha cedin comparatione hauc acabatu cituenean, Iesus iragan baitzedin handic.
When Jesus had finished these parables, he withdrew from that place.
54 Eta ethorri cenean bere herrira, iracasten cituen hec berén synagoguetan: hámbat non spantatuac baitzeuden, eta erraiten baitzuten, Nondic huni sapientia haur eta verthuteac?
Going to his own part of the country, he taught the people in their Synagogue in such a manner that they were deeply impressed. “Where did he get this wisdom?” they said, “and the miracles?
55 Ezta haur charpanter-seme? ezta horren ama Maria deitzen, eta horren anayeac Iacques eta Ioses eta Simon eta Iuda?
Is not he the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Eta horren arrebác eztirade guciac gu baithan? nondic bada huni gauça hauc gucioc?
And his sisters, too — are not they all living among us? Where, then did he get all this?”
57 Eta scandalizatzen ciraden hartan. Eta Iesusec erran ciecén, Ezta Prophetaric ohore gabe bere herrian eta bere etchean baicen.
These things proved a hindrance to their believing in him; whereupon Jesus said: “A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country and in his own house.”
58 Eta etzeçan eguin han verthute anhitzic, hayén incredulitatearen causaz.
And he did not work many miracles there, because of their want of faith.
