Κατα Ματθαιον 13
1 εν δε τη ημερα εκεινη εξελθων ο ιησουσ απο τησ οικιασ εκαθητο παρα την θαλασσαν
On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
2 και συνηχθησαν προσ αυτον οχλοι πολλοι ωστε αυτον εισ το πλοιον εμβαντα καθησθαι και πασ ο οχλοσ επι τον αιγιαλον ειστηκει
And large crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.
3 και ελαλησεν αυτοισ πολλα εν παραβολαισ λεγων ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειρειν
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Look, a farmer went out to sow.
4 και εν τω σπειρειν αυτον α μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον και ηλθεν τα πετεινα και κατεφαγεν αυτα
And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 αλλα δε επεσεν επι τα πετρωδη οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην και ευθεωσ εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθοσ γησ
And others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
6 ηλιου δε ανατειλαντοσ εκαυματισθη και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7 αλλα δε επεσεν επι τασ ακανθασ και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και απεπνιξαν αυτα
Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8 αλλα δε επεσεν επι την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα
Still others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
He who has ears, let him hear."
10 και προσελθοντεσ οι μαθηται ειπον αυτω δια τι εν παραβολαισ λαλεισ αυτοισ
Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
11 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ οτι υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια τησ βασιλειασ των ουρανων εκεινοισ δε ου δεδοται
And answering, he said to them, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but it is not given to them.
12 οστισ γαρ εχει δοθησεται αυτω και περισσευθησεται οστισ δε ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
13 δια τουτο εν παραβολαισ αυτοισ λαλω οτι βλεποντεσ ου βλεπουσιν και ακουοντεσ ουκ ακουουσιν ουδε συνιουσιν
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
14 και αναπληρουται αυτοισ η προφητεια ησαιου η λεγουσα ακοη ακουσετε και ου μη συνητε και βλεποντεσ βλεψετε και ου μη ιδητε
And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'In hearing you will hear, but will not understand, and seeing you will see, but not perceive.
15 επαχυνθη γαρ η καρδια του λαου τουτου και τοισ ωσιν βαρεωσ ηκουσαν και τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτων εκαμμυσαν μηποτε ιδωσιν τοισ οφθαλμοισ και τοισ ωσιν ακουσωσιν και τη καρδια συνωσιν και επιστρεψωσιν και ιασομαι αυτουσ
For the heart of this people has grown dull, and their ears are sluggish in hearing, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn back, and I would heal them.'
16 υμων δε μακαριοι οι οφθαλμοι οτι βλεπουσιν και τα ωτα υμων οτι ακουει
"But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν οτι πολλοι προφηται και δικαιοι επεθυμησαν ιδειν α βλεπετε και ουκ ειδον και ακουσαι α ακουετε και ουκ ηκουσαν
For truly I tell you that many prophets and righteous people desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
18 υμεισ ουν ακουσατε την παραβολην του σπειροντοσ
"Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
19 παντοσ ακουοντοσ τον λογον τησ βασιλειασ και μη συνιεντοσ ερχεται ο πονηροσ και αρπαζει το εσπαρμενον εν τη καρδια αυτου ουτοσ εστιν ο παρα την οδον σπαρεισ
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not 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.
20 ο δε επι τα πετρωδη σπαρεισ ουτοσ εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και ευθυσ μετα χαρασ λαμβανων αυτον
And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
21 ουκ εχει δε ριζαν εν εαυτω αλλα προσκαιροσ εστιν γενομενησ δε θλιψεωσ η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθυσ σκανδαλιζεται
yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
22 ο δε εισ τασ ακανθασ σπαρεισ ουτοσ εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και η μεριμνα του αιωνοσ τουτου και η απατη του πλουτου συμπνιγει τον λογον και ακαρποσ γινεται (aiōn g165)
And what was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 ο δε επι την γην την καλην σπαρεισ ουτοσ εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και συνιων οσ δη καρποφορει και ποιει ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα
And what was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who truly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."
24 αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν αυτοισ λεγων ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω σπειροντι καλον σπερμα εν τω αγρω αυτου
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field,
25 εν δε τω καθευδειν τουσ ανθρωπουσ ηλθεν αυτου ο εχθροσ και εσπειρεν ζιζανια ανα μεσον του σιτου και απηλθεν
but while everyone slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
26 οτε δε εβλαστησεν ο χορτοσ και καρπον εποιησεν τοτε εφανη και τα ζιζανια
But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.
27 προσελθοντεσ δε οι δουλοι του οικοδεσποτου ειπον αυτω κυριε ουχι καλον σπερμα εσπειρασ εν τω σω αγρω ποθεν ουν εχει ζιζανια
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these tares come from?'
28 ο δε εφη αυτοισ εχθροσ ανθρωποσ τουτο εποιησεν οι δε δουλοι ειπον αυτω θελεισ ουν απελθοντεσ συλλεξομεν αυτα
"And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "And the servants asked him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them up?'
29 ο δε εφη ου μηποτε συλλεγοντεσ τα ζιζανια εκριζωσητε αμα αυτοισ τον σιτον
"But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the tares, you root up the wheat with them.
30 αφετε συναυξανεσθαι αμφοτερα μεχρι του θερισμου και εν καιρω του θερισμου ερω τοισ θερισταισ συλλεξατε πρωτον τα ζιζανια και δησατε αυτα εισ δεσμασ προσ το κατακαυσαι αυτα τον δε σιτον συναγαγετε εισ την αποθηκην μου
Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
31 αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν αυτοισ λεγων ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων κοκκω σιναπεωσ ον λαβων ανθρωποσ εσπειρεν εν τω αγρω αυτου
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field;
32 ο μικροτερον μεν εστιν παντων των σπερματων οταν δε αυξηθη μειζον των λαχανων εστιν και γινεται δενδρον ωστε ελθειν τα πετεινα του ουρανου και κατασκηνουν εν τοισ κλαδοισ αυτου
which indeed is least of all the seeds. But when it has grown it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."
33 αλλην παραβολην ελαλησεν αυτοισ ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ζυμη ην λαβουσα γυνη εκρυψεν εισ αλευρου σατα τρια εωσ ου εζυμωθη ολον
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."
34 ταυτα παντα ελαλησεν ο ιησουσ εν παραβολαισ τοισ οχλοισ και χωρισ παραβολησ ουκ ελαλει αυτοισ
Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,
35 οπωσ πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου λεγοντοσ ανοιξω εν παραβολαισ το στομα μου ερευξομαι κεκρυμμενα απο καταβολησ κοσμου
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the beginning of the world."
36 τοτε αφεισ τουσ οχλουσ ηλθεν εισ την οικιαν ο ιησουσ και προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντεσ φρασον ημιν την παραβολην των ζιζανιων του αγρου
Then Jesus sent the crowds away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field."
37 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ ο σπειρων το καλον σπερμα εστιν ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου
And he answered them, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38 ο δε αγροσ εστιν ο κοσμοσ το δε καλον σπερμα ουτοι εισιν οι υιοι τησ βασιλειασ τα δε ζιζανια εισιν οι υιοι του πονηρου
and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the tares are the children of the evil one,
39 ο δε εχθροσ ο σπειρασ αυτα εστιν ο διαβολοσ ο δε θερισμοσ συντελεια του αιωνοσ εστιν οι δε θερισται αγγελοι εισιν (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 ωσπερ ουν συλλεγεται τα ζιζανια και πυρι καιεται ουτωσ εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνοσ τουτου (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 αποστελει ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου τουσ αγγελουσ αυτου και συλλεξουσιν εκ τησ βασιλειασ αυτου παντα τα σκανδαλα και τουσ ποιουντασ την ανομιαν
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,
42 και βαλουσιν αυτουσ εισ την καμινον του πυροσ εκει εσται ο κλαυθμοσ και ο βρυγμοσ των οδοντων
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the grinding of teeth.
43 τοτε οι δικαιοι εκλαμψουσιν ωσ ο ηλιοσ εν τη βασιλεια του πατροσ αυτων ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
44 παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων θησαυρω κεκρυμμενω εν τω αγρω ον ευρων ανθρωποσ εκρυψεν και απο τησ χαρασ αυτου υπαγει και παντα οσα εχει πωλει και αγοραζει τον αγρον εκεινον
"The kingdom of heaven is like a 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.
45 παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω εμπορω ζητουντι καλουσ μαργαριτασ
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 οσ ευρων ενα πολυτιμον μαργαριτην απελθων πεπρακεν παντα οσα ειχεν και ηγορασεν αυτον
and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων σαγηνη βληθειση εισ την θαλασσαν και εκ παντοσ γενουσ συναγαγουση
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
48 ην οτε επληρωθη αναβιβασαντεσ επι τον αιγιαλον και καθισαντεσ συνελεξαν τα καλα εισ αγγεια τα δε σαπρα εξω εβαλον
which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49 ουτωσ εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνοσ εξελευσονται οι αγγελοι και αφοριουσιν τουσ πονηρουσ εκ μεσου των δικαιων (aiōn g165)
So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 και βαλουσιν αυτουσ εισ την καμινον του πυροσ εκει εσται ο κλαυθμοσ και ο βρυγμοσ των οδοντων
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the grinding of teeth."
51 λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ συνηκατε ταυτα παντα λεγουσιν αυτω ναι κυριε
"Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes."
52 ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ δια τουτο πασ γραμματευσ μαθητευθεισ εισ την βασιλειαν των ουρανων ομοιοσ εστιν ανθρωπω οικοδεσποτη οστισ εκβαλλει εκ του θησαυρου αυτου καινα και παλαια
And 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."
53 και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο ιησουσ τασ παραβολασ ταυτασ μετηρεν εκειθεν
And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 και ελθων εισ την πατριδα αυτου εδιδασκεν αυτουσ εν τη συναγωγη αυτων ωστε εκπληττεσθαι αυτουσ και λεγειν ποθεν τουτω η σοφια αυτη και αι δυναμεισ
And 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?
55 ουχ ουτοσ εστιν ο του τεκτονοσ υιοσ ουχι η μητηρ αυτου λεγεται μαριαμ και οι αδελφοι αυτου ιακωβοσ και ιωσησ και σιμων και ιουδασ
Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
56 και αι αδελφαι αυτου ουχι πασαι προσ ημασ εισιν ποθεν ουν τουτω ταυτα παντα
And are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"
57 και εσκανδαλιζοντο εν αυτω ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ ουκ εστιν προφητησ ατιμοσ ει μη εν τη πατριδι αυτου και εν τη οικια αυτου
And 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."
58 και ουκ εποιησεν εκει δυναμεισ πολλασ δια την απιστιαν αυτων
And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
