Matthew 13
1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
aparañca tasmin dine yīśuḥ sadmano gatvā saritpate rodhasi samupaviveśa|
2 Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
tatra tatsannidhau bahujanānāṁ nivahopasthiteḥ sa taraṇimāruhya samupāviśat, tena mānavā rodhasi sthitavantaḥ|
3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
tadānīṁ sa dṛṣṭāntaistān itthaṁ bahuśa upadiṣṭavān| paśyata, kaścit kṛṣīvalo bījāni vaptuṁ bahirjagāma,
4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
tasya vapanakāle katipayabījeṣu mārgapārśve patiteṣu vihagāstāni bhakṣitavantaḥ|
5 Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
aparaṁ katipayabījeṣu stokamṛdyuktapāṣāṇe patiteṣu mṛdalpatvāt tatkṣaṇāt tānyaṅkuritāni,
6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
kintu ravāvudite dagdhāni teṣāṁ mūlāpraviṣṭatvāt śuṣkatāṁ gatāni ca|
7 Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
aparaṁ katipayabījeṣu kaṇṭakānāṁ madhye patiteṣu kaṇṭakānyedhitvā tāni jagrasuḥ|
8 Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
aparañca katipayabījāni urvvarāyāṁ patitāni; teṣāṁ madhye kānicit śataguṇāni kānicit ṣaṣṭiguṇāni kānicit triṁśaguṁṇāni phalāni phalitavanti|
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
śrotuṁ yasya śrutī āsāte sa śṛṇuyāt|
10 The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
anantaraṁ śiṣyairāgatya so'pṛcchyata, bhavatā tebhyaḥ kuto dṛṣṭāntakathā kathyate?
11 He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.
tataḥ sa pratyavadat, svargarājyasya nigūḍhāṁ kathāṁ vedituṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ sāmarthyamadāyi, kintu tebhyo nādāyi|
12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
yasmād yasyāntike varddhate, tasmāyeva dāyiṣyate, tasmāt tasya bāhulyaṁ bhaviṣyati, kintu yasyāntike na varddhate, tasya yat kiñcanāste, tadapi tasmād ādāyiṣyate|
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.
te paśyantopi na paśyanti, śṛṇvantopi na śṛṇvanti, budhyamānā api na budhyante ca, tasmāt tebhyo dṛṣṭāntakathā kathyate|
14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive;
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|
15 for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’
yadetāni vacanāni yiśayiyabhaviṣyadvādinā proktāni teṣu tāni phalanti|
16 “But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
kintu yuṣmākaṁ nayanāni dhanyāni, yasmāt tāni vīkṣante; dhanyāśca yuṣmākaṁ śabdagrahāḥ, yasmāt tairākarṇyate|
17 For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.
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|
18 “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
kṛṣīvalīyadṛṣṭāntasyārthaṁ śṛṇuta|
19 When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and doesn’t 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.
mārgapārśve bījānyuptāni tasyārtha eṣaḥ, yadā kaścit rājyasya kathāṁ niśamya na budhyate, tadā pāpātmāgatya tadīyamanasa uptāṁ kathāṁ haran nayati|
20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
aparaṁ pāṣāṇasthale bījānyuptāni tasyārtha eṣaḥ; kaścit kathāṁ śrutvaiva harṣacittena gṛhlāti,
21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
kintu tasya manasi mūlāpraviṣṭatvāt sa kiñcitkālamātraṁ sthirastiṣṭhati; paścāta tatkathākāraṇāt kopi klestāḍanā vā cet jāyate, tarhi sa tatkṣaṇād vighnameti|
22 What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
aparaṁ kaṇṭakānāṁ madhye bījānyuptāni tadartha eṣaḥ; kenacit kathāyāṁ śrutāyāṁ sāṁsārikacintābhi rbhrāntibhiśca sā grasyate, tena sā mā viphalā bhavati| (aiōn g165)
23 What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”
aparam urvvarāyāṁ bījānyuptāni tadartha eṣaḥ; ye tāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā vudhyante, te phalitāḥ santaḥ kecit śataguṇāni kecita ṣaṣṭiguṇāni kecicca triṁśadguṇāni phalāni janayanti|
24 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
anantaraṁ soparāmekāṁ dṛṣṭāntakathāmupasthāpya tebhyaḥ kathayāmāsa; svargīyarājyaṁ tādṛśena kenacid gṛhasthenopamīyate, yena svīyakṣetre praśastabījānyaupyanta|
25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
kintu kṣaṇadāyāṁ sakalalokeṣu supteṣu tasya ripurāgatya teṣāṁ godhūmabījānāṁ madhye vanyayavamabījānyuptvā vavrāja|
26 But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
tato yadā bījebhyo'ṅkarā jāyamānāḥ kaṇiśāni ghṛtavantaḥ; tadā vanyayavasānyapi dṛśyamānānyabhavan|
27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’
tato gṛhasthasya dāseyā āgamya tasmai kathayāñcakruḥ, he maheccha, bhavatā kiṁ kṣetre bhadrabījāni naupyanta? tathātve vanyayavasāni kṛta āyan?
28 “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
tadānīṁ tena te pratigaditāḥ, kenacit ripuṇā karmmadamakāri| dāseyāḥ kathayāmāsuḥ, vayaṁ gatvā tānyutpāyya kṣipāmo bhavataḥ kīdṛśīcchā jāyate?
29 “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
tenāvādi, nahi, śaṅke'haṁ vanyayavasotpāṭanakāle yuṣmābhistaiḥ sākaṁ godhūmā apyutpāṭiṣyante|
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
ataḥ śsyakarttanakālaṁ yāvad ubhayānyapi saha varddhantāṁ, paścāt karttanakāle karttakān vakṣyāmi, yūyamādau vanyayavasāni saṁgṛhya dāhayituṁ vīṭikā badvvā sthāpayata; kintu sarvve godhūmā yuṣmābhi rbhāṇḍāgāraṁ nītvā sthāpyantām|
31 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took, and sowed in his field,
anantaraṁ soparāmekāṁ dṛṣṭāntakathāmutthāpya tebhyaḥ kathitavān kaścinmanujaḥ sarṣapabījamekaṁ nītvā svakṣetra uvāpa|
32 which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.”
sarṣapabījaṁ sarvvasmād bījāt kṣudramapi sadaṅkuritaṁ sarvvasmāt śākāt bṛhad bhavati; sa tādṛśastaru rbhavati, yasya śākhāsu nabhasaḥ khagā āgatya nivasanti; svargīyarājyaṁ tādṛśasya sarṣapaikasya samam|
33 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.”
punarapi sa upamākathāmekāṁ tebhyaḥ kathayāñcakāra; kācana yoṣit yat kiṇvamādāya droṇatrayamitagodhūmacūrṇānāṁ madhye sarvveṣāṁ miśrībhavanaparyyantaṁ samācchādya nidhattavatī, tatkiṇvamiva svargarājyaṁ|
34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,
itthaṁ yīśu rmanujanivahānāṁ sannidhāvupamākathābhiretānyākhyānāni kathitavān upamāṁ vinā tebhyaḥ kimapi kathāṁ nākathayat|
35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”
etena dṛṣṭāntīyena vākyena vyādāya vadanaṁ nijaṁ| ahaṁ prakāśayiṣyāmi guptavākyaṁ purābhavaṁ| yadetadvacanaṁ bhaviṣyadvādinā proktamāsīt, tat siddhamabhavat|
36 Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”
sarvvān manujān visṛjya yīśau gṛhaṁ praviṣṭe tacchiṣyā āgatya yīśave kathitavantaḥ, kṣetrasya vanyayavasīyadṛṣṭāntakathām bhavāna asmān spaṣṭīkṛtya vadatu|
37 He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
tataḥ sa pratyuvāca, yena bhadrabījānyupyante sa manujaputraḥ,
38 the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
kṣetraṁ jagat, bhadrabījānī rājyasya santānāḥ,
39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
vanyayavasāni pāpātmanaḥ santānāḥ| yena ripuṇā tānyuptāni sa śayatānaḥ, karttanasamayaśca jagataḥ śeṣaḥ, karttakāḥ svargīyadūtāḥ| (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
yathā vanyayavasāni saṁgṛhya dāhyante, tathā jagataḥ śeṣe bhaviṣyati; (aiōn g165)
41 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,
arthāt manujasutaḥ svāṁyadūtān preṣayiṣyati, tena te ca tasya rājyāt sarvvān vighnakāriṇo'dhārmmikalokāṁśca saṁgṛhya
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
yatra rodanaṁ dantagharṣaṇañca bhavati, tatrāgnikuṇḍe nikṣepsyanti|
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
tadānīṁ dhārmmikalokāḥ sveṣāṁ pitū rājye bhāskara̮iva tejasvino bhaviṣyanti| śrotuṁ yasya śrutī āsāte, ma śṛṇuyāt|
44 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like 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.
aparañca kṣetramadhye nidhiṁ paśyan yo gopayati, tataḥ paraṁ sānando gatvā svīyasarvvasvaṁ vikrīya ttakṣetraṁ krīṇāti, sa iva svargarājyaṁ|
45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
anyañca yo vaṇik uttamāṁ muktāṁ gaveṣayan
46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
mahārghāṁ muktāṁ vilokya nijasarvvasvaṁ vikrīya tāṁ krīṇāti, sa iva svargarājyaṁ|
47 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind,
punaśca samudro nikṣiptaḥ sarvvaprakāramīnasaṁgrāhyānāya̮iva svargarājyaṁ|
48 which, when it was filled, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
tasmin ānāye pūrṇe janā yathā rodhasyuttolya samupaviśya praśastamīnān saṁgrahya bhājaneṣu nidadhate, kutsitān nikṣipanti;
49 So it will be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
tathaiva jagataḥ śeṣe bhaviṣyati, phalataḥ svargīyadūtā āgatya puṇyavajjanānāṁ madhyāt pāpinaḥ pṛthak kṛtvā vahnikuṇḍe nikṣepsyanti, (aiōn g165)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
tatra rodanaṁ dantai rdantagharṣaṇañca bhaviṣyataḥ|
51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
yīśunā te pṛṣṭā yuṣmābhiḥ kimetānyākhyānānyabudhyanta? tadā te pratyavadan, satyaṁ prabho|
52 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.”
tadānīṁ sa kathitavān, nijabhāṇḍāgārāt navīnapurātanāni vastūni nirgamayati yo gṛhasthaḥ sa iva svargarājyamadhi śikṣitāḥ svarva upadeṣṭāraḥ|
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
anantaraṁ yīśuretāḥ sarvvā dṛṣṭāntakathāḥ samāpya tasmāt sthānāt pratasthe| aparaṁ svadeśamāgatya janān bhajanabhavana upadiṣṭavān;
54 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?
te vismayaṁ gatvā kathitavanta etasyaitādṛśaṁ jñānam āścaryyaṁ karmma ca kasmād ajāyata?
55 Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
kimayaṁ sūtradhārasya putro nahi? etasya mātu rnāma ca kiṁ mariyam nahi? yākub-yūṣaph-śimon-yihūdāśca kimetasya bhrātaro nahi?
56 Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”
etasya bhaginyaśca kimasmākaṁ madhye na santi? tarhi kasmādayametāni labdhavān? itthaṁ sa teṣāṁ vighnarūpo babhūva;
57 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.”
tato yīśunā nigaditaṁ svadeśīyajanānāṁ madhyaṁ vinā bhaviṣyadvādī kutrāpyanyatra nāsammānyo bhavatī|
58 He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
teṣāmaviśvāsahetoḥ sa tatra sthāne bahvāścaryyakarmmāṇi na kṛtavān|
