Matthew 13
1 That same day, when Jesus had left the house and was sitting by the sea,
Faiꞌ naa boe Yesus kalua mia ume naa, de neu endoꞌ sia dano Galilea suun.
2 such great crowds gathered round him, that he got into a boat, and sat in it, while all the people stood on the beach.
Boe ma atahori hetar reu heo rala E. Ma Ana hene neu endoꞌ sia ofaꞌ sa ata mananafuꞌ sia naa, de nanori. Basa atahori mana sia madꞌa ata rena E.
3 Then he told them many truths in parables. ‘The sower,’ he began, ‘went out to sow; and,
Ana nanori se naeꞌ nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ hetar. Ana dui nae, “Hambu atahori mana ue-rae sa neu sia osin, de nggari fini.
4 as they were sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
Leleꞌ ana nggari fini ra, hambu ruma tudꞌa sia dalaꞌ. Boe ma mbuiꞌ ra rema de bito rendi basa fini ra.
5 Some fell on rocky places, where it had not much soil, and, because the soil wasn’t deep, sprang up at once.
Te fini ruma tudꞌa sia rae fatu-fatuꞌ. Fini a nanumbu losaꞌ a, huu rae isiꞌ mbeiꞌ a.
6 As soon as the sun had risen, it was scorched, and, because their roots were not deep enough, withered away.
Te reo-rendu ma, numbuꞌ ra male de meto hendi se. Huu oka nara nda masoꞌ losa rae rala sa.
7 Some, again, fell into the brambles; but the brambles shot up and choked it.
Hambu fini ruma fai tudꞌa sia uru manggouꞌ. Boe ma uru manggouꞌ a hapi nisa numbuꞌ naa ra.
8 Some, however, fell on good soil, and yielded a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.
Te hambu fini ruma tudꞌa sia rae isiꞌ. Fini naa ra ranumbu, ma raꞌamoko losa rabꞌoa. Ruma fee baliꞌ buna-bꞌoa nara dedꞌesin lao telu nulu, ruma losa nee nulu, ma ruma losa natun esa.
9 Let those who have ears hear.’
Seka ma ndikiꞌ, na, rena malolole, o!”
10 Afterwards his disciples came to him, and said, ‘Why do you speak to them in parables?’
Basa ma Yesus ana mana tungga nara rema de ratane E rae, “Taꞌo bee de Pak nanori atahori hetar naa ra mendiꞌ nekandandaaꞌ?”
11 ‘To you,’ answered Jesus, ‘the knowledge of the hidden truths of the kingdom of heaven has been imparted, but not to those.
Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Huu Lamatualain nau fee nggi mihine parendan, naa de Au ufadꞌe memaꞌ nekendandaaꞌ ia sosoan. Te mete ma atahori laen, na, Au unori endiꞌ a nekendandaaꞌ.
12 For, to all who have, more will be given, and they will have abundance; but, from all who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
Huu atahori mana nahine Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ fee ne bau nahine. Te atahori nda mana nau tao afiꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun sa, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ fee ne lili hendi saa fo ana nahineꞌ a.
13 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.
Au unori se endiꞌ a nekendandaaꞌ a, huu: ‘Ara rita ena, te nda rahine sa. Ara rena ena, te nda tao afiꞌ sa.’
14 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,
Ara onaꞌ atahori fo Lamatualain mana ola-olan Yesaya suraꞌ nae, ‘Dei fo ama rena, te ama nda nau mihine sai-sai sa. Dei fo ama mita, te ama nda nau bubꞌuluꞌ saa fo manadadꞌiꞌ naa sa.
15 for the mind of this nation has grown dense, and their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes also have they closed; otherwise some day they might perceive with their eyes, and with their ears they might hear, and in their mind they might understand, and might turn – and I might heal them.”
Huu atahori ia ra rala nara manggateeꞌ ara raꞌambambakeꞌ ndiki nara, ara raꞌapopokeꞌ mata nara. Dadꞌi hela neu fo ndiki nara mbake taꞌoꞌ a naa leo, ma hela neu fo, mata nara poke taꞌoꞌ a naa leo. Hela neu fo Au sudꞌi boe tao malole se, huu ara nda nau tao afiꞌ neu Au sa.’
16 ‘But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear;
Te hei ia ra, nenefee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, o! Huu ama mita no mata mara ena, ma ama rena no ndiki mara ena.
17 for I tell you that many prophets and good people 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.
Mimihere Au! Feꞌesaꞌan Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-olan no atahori rala ndoos ra nau rae rita saa fo hei mitaꞌ ia, te ara nda bisa sa. Ara o nau rena saa fo ama renaꞌ a, te ara nda bisa sa.”
18 ‘Listen, then, yourselves to the parable of the sower.
Olaꞌ basa ma, Yesus nafadꞌe se nae, ‘Dadꞌi ia na ama rena nekendandaaꞌ ia sosoan.
19 When anyone hears the message of the kingdom without understanding it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in their mind. This is the person meant by the seed which was sown along the path.
Fini mana tudꞌa sia dalaꞌ a, naeni atahori mana rena Hara-liiꞌ soꞌal Lamatualain toꞌu parendaꞌ, te ana nda nahine no matetuꞌ sa. Basa ma nitu ra malanggan nema rambas nendi Hara-liiꞌ naa mia atahori naa ralan.
20 By the seed which was sown on rocky places is meant the person who hears the message, and at once accepts it joyfully;
Fini mana tudꞌa sia rae fatu-fatuꞌ a, naeni atahori mana rena Lamatuaꞌ Hara-liin, ma ana simbo no rala nemehoꞌot.
21 but, as they have no root, they stand for only a short time; and, when trouble or persecution arises because of the message, they fall away at once.
Te Hara-liiꞌ naa ra nda raꞌoka sa. Naa de nda nenembedaꞌ dooꞌ sia atahori naa ralan sa. De leleꞌ atahori laen tao raꞌasususaꞌ e huu simbo Hara-liiꞌ naa ra, ma ana nggari hendi se neuꞌ ena.
22 By the seed which was sown among the brambles is meant the person 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)
No fini mana tudꞌa sia uru manggouꞌ a taladꞌan, onaꞌ atahori mana rena Hara-liiꞌ naa. Te ana sebꞌo-mue noꞌ a ue-tataos mataꞌ-mataꞌ fo nasodꞌa noꞌ a lole-ladꞌaꞌ ra. De basa ue-tataos naa ra, seti hendi Hara-liiꞌ naa mia ralan, de nda naꞌena ngguna saa sa ena boe. (aiōn g165)
23 But by the seed which was sown on the good ground is meant the person who hears the message and understands it, and really yields a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.’
Te fini mana tudꞌa sia rae isiꞌ a, onaꞌ atahori mana pasa ndikin fo simbo Hara-liiꞌ naa, ma tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun. Boe ma ana taoꞌ a dala-dala maloleꞌ, onaꞌ fini mana mabꞌoaꞌ a. Hambu ruma raboa dedꞌesin lao telu nulu, ma ruma lao nee nulu, ma ruma lao natun esa.”
24 Another parable which Jesus told them was this – ‘The kingdom of heaven is compared to a person who sowed good seed in their field.
Yesus nafadꞌe seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ esa fai nae, “Lamatualain toꞌu parendaꞌ naa, onaꞌ atahori esa nggari fini maloleꞌ sia osin.
25 But, while everyone was asleep, their enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away.
Temba neu ma, basa atahori mana sunggu masambetaꞌ ra. Boe ma atahori deꞌulaka nema, de nggari uru fui dekeꞌ ra risiꞌ osi a.
26 So, when the blades of corn shot up, and came into ear, the weeds made their appearance also.
Leleꞌ osi a nabꞌuna-nabꞌoa, ma atahori mana tao ues nara rita uru fui a mori belaꞌ no are nggandum sia naa.
27 The owner’s servants came to them, and said “Was not it good seed that you sowed in your field? Where, then, do the weeds in it come from?”
Boe ma reu rafadꞌe tenu osiꞌ a rae, ‘Papa! Faiꞌ naa hita sela fini maloleꞌ sia papa osin, to? Taꞌo bee de uru a naeꞌ boe?’
28 “An enemy has done this,” was the owner’s answer. “Do you wish us, then,” they asked, “to go and gather them together?”
Malangga nataa nae, “Naa, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ ue-tataon.’ Boe ma mana tao ues nara olaꞌ rae, ‘Papa, hai mii miue hendi uru a, do?’
29 “No,” said he, “because while you are pulling up the weeds you might uproot the wheat with them.
Te nataa nae, ‘Afiꞌ! Leleꞌ hei miue uru a, neꞌo hita sela-nggari malole nara nenelea hendiꞌ boe.
30 Let both grow side by side until harvest; and then I will say to the reapers, Gather the weeds together first, and tie them in bundles for burning; but bring all the wheat into my barn.”’
Hela se mori belaꞌ losa fula-fai etu-oruꞌ a losa. Leleꞌ naa, dei fo au ufadꞌe atahori mana tao ues ra ae, “Ama miꞌidꞌuru miꞌihuluꞌ uru fui ra dei. Ma futu se mbumbutu-mbumbutuꞌ, fo dedꞌee hendi se. Basa naa midꞌudꞌuru buna-bꞌoa maloleꞌ ra, fo mbedꞌaꞌ nisiꞌ soka-poleꞌ rala.”’”
31 Another parable which he told them was this – ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a person took and sowed in his field.
Basa ma, Yesus olaꞌ fai nae, “Au fee seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ esa fai, fo ama bisa mihine taꞌo bee fo Lamatualain dadꞌi Maneꞌ soaꞌ neu atahori hetar. Fefeun atahori nara onaꞌ deke anadikiꞌ sa fo atahori sela sia osin rala.
32 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.”’
Mae dekeꞌ naa, anadikiꞌ seli, te mete ma mori nema, na, dadꞌi hau huu ine monaeꞌ sia osi. Sambe mbuiꞌ ra rema randuna sia dana nara.”
33 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.’
Yesus fee seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ esa fai nae, “Lamatualain atahorin, onaꞌ bibꞌit roti fo inaꞌ sa haꞌi fo sambor no tarigu sak esa. Boe ma roti a reis losa naꞌamoko, huu bibꞌit roti mbei anaꞌ naa.”
34 Of all this Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables; indeed to them he used never to speak at all except in parables,
Yesus nanori atahori hetar nendiꞌ dudꞌuit mataꞌ hetar. Ana olaꞌ nendiꞌ a nekendandaaꞌ.
35 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.”
Ana nanori taꞌo naa tungga saa fo Lamatualain mana ola-olan suraꞌ memaꞌ ena nae, “Dei fo Au unori endiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ. Dei fo Au ufadꞌe dala-dalaꞌ fo atahori nda feꞌe rene rita sa, eniꞌ a mia Lamatualain tao raefafoꞌ ia losa ia nema.”
36 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 weeds in the field.’
Basa ma, Yesus lao hela atahori hetar naa ra, de baliꞌ ume neu. Boe ma ana mana tungga nara rema, de roꞌe tulun sia E rae, “Amaꞌ Tulun mufadꞌe hai nekendandaaꞌ soꞌal uru mana moriaoꞌ a sosoan dei!”
37 He answered, ‘The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man.
Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Atahori mana nggari fini maloleꞌ naa, naeni Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia.
38 The field is the world. By the good seed is meant the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the wicked,
Ma osi naa, naeni raefafoꞌ ia. Fini maloleꞌ naa, naeni atahori mana dadꞌi Lamatualain bobꞌonggin ena. No uru mana mori aoꞌ naa, naeni nitu ra malanggan atahori nara.
39 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)
Boe ma, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ mana nema nggari fini uru naa, naeni nitu ra malangga monaen. Ma fai etu-oruꞌ naa, naeni fai mateteꞌen. Atahori mana etu-oru buna-bꞌoaꞌ naa, naeni Lamatualain ate nara mia sorga. (aiōn g165)
40 And, just as the weeds are gathered and burnt, so it will be at the close of the age. (aiōn g165)
Leleꞌ fai mateteꞌen, ara radꞌuru rala uru ra fo hotu hendi se. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom all that hinders and those who live in sin,
Huu Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, dei fo haitua ate mana sia sorga rema. Dei fo ara reu radꞌuru basa atahori nda mana tungga Lamatuaꞌ parendan sa. Ma ara reu radꞌuru rala basa atahori mana neu kokoe-nanasi atahori laen ra, fo ara nda tungga Lamatuaꞌ parendan sa.
42 and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
Dei fo ara mbia hendi basa atahori deꞌulakaꞌ ra risiꞌ ai naraka rala reu, onaꞌ uru nenehotu hendiꞌ naa. Sia naa, dei fo ara feꞌe na ramedꞌa doidꞌosoꞌ ritaꞌ mamate nara, ma nggae eiei nda raloeꞌ sa.
43 Then will the righteous shine, like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. If you have ears, listen.
Te atahori mana nasodꞌa no ndoos tungga Lamatualain hihii-nanaun, dei fo ara leo rakandoo ro Ama Maneꞌ sia sorga. Sia naa, ara raronda onaꞌ relo a. Naa! Atahori mana nau nahine Au, pasa ndikim malolole, o!”
44 ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a person found and hid again, and then, in their delight, went and sold everything that they had, and bought that field.
Yesus fee seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ esa fai nae, “Atahori mana nau nahine soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ toꞌu parendan, onaꞌ atahori mana nau hambu sudꞌiꞌ-saa mafelit, fo atahori funiꞌ mia rae rala. Atahori naa nema ali, ma ana hambu sudiꞌ-saa naa ra sia naa, naa de namahoꞌo nala seli. Basa ma, ana nasambombori baliꞌ sudiꞌ-saa naa. Boe ma ana baliꞌ lailai, de neu seo hendi basa hata-heton. De ana neu hasa nala rae naa, fo eni bisa hambu sudꞌi-saa mafelit naa.”
45 ‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of choice pearls.
Yesus fee seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ fai nae, “Atahori mana nae nahine Lamatuaꞌ toꞌu parendan naa, onaꞌ atahori mana danggan esa nau hambu mutiara mafelit. De ana sangga-sanggaꞌ mutiara fo nae hasa.
46 Finding one of great value, they went and sold everything that they had, and bought it.
Leleꞌ ana hambu mutiara sa meulaun seli, ma ana baliꞌ neuꞌ ena, de neu seo hendi basa hata-heton. Basa ma ana neu hasa mutiara naa, fo eni bisa hambu e.”
47 Or again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was cast into the sea, and caught fish of all kinds.
Yesus fee seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ nae, “Lamatualain toꞌu parendan, onaꞌ mana puꞌa ra reu mboꞌi puꞌat esa sia dano. Boe ma puꞌat naa hambu uꞌu mataꞌ-mataꞌ.
48 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.
Leleꞌ puꞌat naa sofeꞌ no uꞌu, ma mana puꞌa ra reu haꞌi rala se, fo rendi dano suun neu. Boe ma ara endoꞌ de raisi uꞌu mia puꞌat. Uꞌu maloleꞌ ra, ara tao nisiꞌ rela rala neu. Te uꞌu nda maloleꞌ sa na ara nggari hendi se.
49 So will it be at the close of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
Onaꞌ naa boe, neu fai mateteꞌen. Dei fo Lamatualain ate nara rema mia sorga, fo bingga-banggi atahori deꞌulakaꞌ mia atahori rala ndoos ra. (aiōn g165)
50 and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
Dei fo ara nggari basa atahori deꞌulaka ra ai naraka rala reu. Dei fo ara ramedꞌa doidꞌosoꞌ manaseliꞌ sia naa, ma nggae eiei nda raloeꞌ sa,”
51 ‘Have you understood all this?’ Jesus asked. ‘Yes,’ they answered.
Olaꞌ basa taꞌo naa, ma Yesus natane se nae, “Hei mihine basa saa fo Au olaꞌ faꞌ ia ra, do? Ara rataa rae, “Mihine, Lamatuaꞌ!”
52 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.’
Boe ma Yesus nataa baliꞌ se nae, “Malole! Huu meser agama esa-esaꞌ mana tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ nanori Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan fo mana suraꞌ eniꞌ mia dalahulun, ma toꞌu nahereꞌ Au nenori ngga oras ia, na, ana onaꞌ tenu umeꞌ sa soaꞌ a soi nggudꞌan, fo natudꞌu hata-heto mbaran, naꞌabꞌue no hata-heto feun.”
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he withdrew from that place.
Leleꞌ Yesus nanori basa atahori nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ ma, Ana lao hela mamanaꞌ naa,
54 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?
de lao nisiꞌ kambon. Sia naa, Ana ume hule-oꞌeꞌ rala neu de nanori atahori ra. Basa atahori mana rena E, titindindiiꞌ a. Ara ola-olaꞌ rae, “Awii! Atahori ia mahinen dei! Ana neu nanori mia bee ia? Taꞌo bee de Ana tao nalaꞌ manadadꞌiꞌ naa ra?
55 Isn’t he the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
Tao-tao te Eni tukan hau a Anan. Hita tahine maloleꞌ inan Maria; ma odꞌi nara, naeni Yakobis, Yusuf, Yudas no Simon.
56 And his sisters, too – are not they all living among us? Where, then did he get all this?’
Hita o tahine feto nara boe, huu basa nggita leo sia kamboꞌ sa na! Dadꞌi Ana hambu mahineꞌ naa, mia bee nema fai? Boe ma Ana hambu koasa manaseliꞌ naa, mia seka fai?”
57 These things proved a hindrance to their believing in him. But Jesus said, ‘A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country and in his own house.’
Naa de ara ramanasa losa nda nau rae rena E sa ena. Te Yesus nafadꞌe nae, “Memaꞌ tebꞌe! Sia mamanaꞌ laen, atahori ra hiiꞌ a fee hadꞌa-hormat neu Lamatualain mana ola-ola nara. Te sia kambon ma ume isi nara, atahori ra nda nau fee hadꞌa-hormat neu e sa.”
58 He did not work many miracles there, because of their want of faith.
Huu rala nara manggateeꞌ de ara nda nau ramahere Yesus sa, naa de Ana nda tao manadadꞌi hetar sia naa sa.
