Matthew 13
1 Ní ọjọ́ kan náà, Jesu kúrò ní ilé, ó jókòó sí etí Òkun.
On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.
2 Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn péjọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó fi bọ́ sínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, ó jókòó, gbogbo ènìyàn sì dúró létí Òkun.
A very large crowd gathered around him, so he got into a boat and sat in it, while the whole crowd stood on the beach.
3 Nígbà náà ni ó fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ òwe bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀, wí pé, “Àgbẹ̀ kan jáde lọ gbin irúgbìn sínú oko rẹ̀.
Then Jesus said many things to them in parables. He said, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow seed.
4 Bí ó sì ti gbin irúgbìn náà, díẹ̀ bọ́ sí ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà, àwọn ẹyẹ sì wá, wọ́n sì jẹ ẹ́.
As he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Díẹ̀ bọ́ sórí ilẹ̀ orí àpáta, níbi ti kò sí erùpẹ̀ púpọ̀. Àwọn irúgbìn náà sì dàgbàsókè kíákíá, nítorí erùpẹ̀ kò pọ̀ lórí wọn.
Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil. Immediately they sprang up, because the soil had no depth.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí oòrùn gòkè, oòrùn gbígbóná jó wọn, gbogbo wọn sì rọ, wọ́n kú nítorí wọn kò ni gbòǹgbò.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched because they had no root, and they withered away.
7 Àwọn irúgbìn mìíràn bọ́ sí àárín ẹ̀gún, ẹ̀gún sì dàgbà, ó sì fún wọn pa.
Other seeds fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked them.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n díẹ̀ tó bọ́ sórí ilẹ̀ rere, ó sì so èso, òmíràn ọgọ́rùn-ún, òmíràn ọgọ́tọ̀ọ̀ta, òmíràn ọgbọọgbọ̀n, ni ìlọ́po èyí ti ó gbìn.
Other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Ẹni tí ó bá létí, kí ó gbọ́.”
He who has ears, let him listen.”
10 Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọ́n bí i pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ ń fi òwe bá àwọn ènìyàn sọ̀rọ̀?”
The disciples came and said to Jesus, “Why do you talk to the crowd in parables?”
11 Ó sì da wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ni a ti fi fún láti mọ ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ ìjọba ọ̀run, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe fún wọn.
Jesus answered and said to them, “You have been given the privilege of understanding mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ní, òun ni a ó fún sí i, yóò sì ní lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n lọ́wọ́ ẹni tí kò ní, ni a ó ti gbà èyí kékeré tí ó ní náà.
For whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Ìdí nìyìí tí mo fi ń fi òwe bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀: “Ní ti rí rí, wọn kò rí; ní ti gbígbọ́ wọn kò gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì yé wọn.
This is why I talk to them in parables: Though they are seeing, they do not see; and though they are hearing, they do not hear, or understand.
14 Sí ara wọn ni a ti mú àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ wòlíì Isaiah ṣẹ: “‘Ní gbígbọ́ ẹ̀yin yóò gbọ́ ṣùgbọ́n kì yóò sì yé yín; ní rí rí ẹ̀yin yóò rí, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì mòye.
To them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, that which says, 'While hearing you will hear, but you will in no way understand; while seeing you will see, but you will in no way perceive.
15 Nítorí àyà àwọn ènìyàn yìí sébọ́ etí wọn sì wúwo láti gbọ́ ojú wọn ni wọ́n sì dì nítorí kí àwọn má ba à fi ojú wọn rí kí wọ́n má ba à fi etí wọn gbọ́ kí wọn má ba à fi àyà wọn mọ̀ òye, kí wọn má ba à yípadà, kí èmi ba à le mú wọn láradá.’
For this people's heart has become dull, and they are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, so they should not see with their eyes, or hear with their ears, or understand with their hearts, so they would turn again, and I would heal them.'
16 Ṣùgbọ́n ìbùkún ni fún ojú yín, nítorí wọ́n ríran, àti fún etí yín, nítorí ti wọ́n gbọ́.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn wòlíì àti ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ti fẹ́ rí ohun tí ẹ̀yin ti rí, ki wọ́n sì gbọ́ ohun tí ẹ ti gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò ṣe é ṣe fún wọn.
Truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things that you see, and did not see them. They desired to hear the things that you hear, and did not hear them.
18 “Nítorí náà, ẹ fi etí sí ohun tí òwe afúnrúgbìn túmọ̀ sí,
Listen then to the parable of the farmer who sowed his seed.
19 nígbà tí ẹnikẹ́ni bá gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ nípa ìjọba ọ̀run ṣùgbọ́n tí kò yé e, lẹ́yìn náà èṣù á wá, a sì gba èyí tí a fún sí ọkàn rẹ̀ kúrò. Èyí ni irúgbìn ti a fún sí ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà.
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the seed that was sown beside the road.
20 Ẹni tí ó sì gba irúgbìn tí ó bọ́ sí ilẹ̀ orí àpáta, ni ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, lọ́gán, ó sì fi ayọ̀ gba ọ̀rọ̀ náà.
What was sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
21 Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí kò ní gbòǹgbò, ó wà fún ìgbà díẹ̀; nígbà tí wàhálà àti inúnibíni bá dìde nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ náà ní ojú kan náà yóò sì kọsẹ̀.
yet he has no root in himself and he endures for a while. When tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he quickly falls away.
22 Ẹni tí ó si gba irúgbìn tí ó bọ́ sí àárín ẹ̀gún ni ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àníyàn ayé yìí, ìtànjẹ, ọrọ̀ sì fún ọ̀rọ̀ náà pa, ọ̀rọ̀ náà kò so èso nínú rẹ̀. (aiōn g165)
What was sown among the thorn plants, this is the person 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 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó gba irúgbìn tí ó bọ́ sí orí ilẹ̀ rere ni ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, tí ó sì yé e; òun sì so èso òmíràn ọgọ́rọ̀ọ̀rùn, òmíràn ọgọ́tọ̀ọ̀ta, òmíràn ọgbọọgbọ̀n.”
What was sown on the good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands it. He bears fruit and makes a crop, some yielding one hundred times as much as was planted, some sixty, and some thirty times as much.”
24 Jesu tún pa òwe mìíràn fún wọn: “Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí àgbẹ̀ kan tí ó gbin irúgbìn rere sí oko rẹ̀,
Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 ṣùgbọ́n ní òru ọjọ́ kan, nígbà tí ó sùn, ọ̀tá rẹ̀ wá sí oko náà ó sì gbin èpò sáàrín alikama, ó sì bá tirẹ̀ lọ.
But while people slept, his enemy came and also sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away.
26 Nígbà tí alikama náà bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí dàgbà, tí ó sì so èso, nígbà náà ni èpò náà fi ara hàn.
When the blades sprouted and then produced their crop, then the weeds appeared also.
27 “Àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ àgbẹ̀ náà wá, wọ́n sọ fún un pé, ‘Ọ̀gá, irúgbìn rere kọ́ ni ìwọ ha gbìn sí oko rẹ nì? Báwo ni èpò ṣe wà níbẹ̀ nígbà náà?’
The servants of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How does it now have weeds?'
28 “Ó sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ọ̀tá ni ó ṣe èyí.’ “Àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ tún bí i pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ha fẹ́ kí a fa èpò náà tu kúrò?’
He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'So do you want us to go and pull them out?'
29 “Ó dá wọn lóhùn pé, ‘Rárá, nítorí bí ẹ̀yin bá ń tu èpò kúrò, ẹ ó tu alikama dànù pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
The landowner said, 'No. Because while you are pulling out the weeds, you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 Ẹ jẹ́ kí àwọn méjèèjì máa dàgbà pọ̀, títí di àsìkò ìkórè. Èmi yóò sọ fún àwọn olùkórè náà láti kọ́kọ́ ṣa àwọn èpò kúrò kí wọ́n sì dìwọ́n ní ìtí, kí a sì sun wọn, kí wọ́n sì kó alikama sínú àká mi.’”
Let both grow together until the harvest. At the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First pull out the weeds and tie them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”'”
31 Jesu tún pa òwe mìíràn fún wọn: “Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí èso hóró musitadi, èyí tí ọkùnrin kan mú tí ó gbìn sínú oko rẹ̀.
Then Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field.
32 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ èso tí ó kéré púpọ̀ láàrín èso rẹ̀, síbẹ̀ ó wá di ohun ọ̀gbìn tí ó tóbi jọjọ. Ó sì wá di igi tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run sì wá, wọ́n sì fi ẹ̀ka rẹ ṣe ibùgbé.”
This seed is indeed the smallest of all seeds. But when it has grown, it is greater than the garden plants. It becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
33 Ó tún pa òwe mìíràn fún wọn: “Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí ìwúkàrà tí obìnrin kan mú tí ó pò mọ́ ìyẹ̀fun púpọ̀ títí tí gbogbo rẹ fi di wíwú.”
Jesus then told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen.”
34 Òwe ni Jesu fi sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún àwọn ènìyàn, òwe ni ó fi bá wọn sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tó sọ.
All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; and he said nothing to them without a parable.
35 Kí ọ̀rọ̀ tí a ti ẹnu àwọn wòlíì sọ lé wá sí ìmúṣẹ pé: “Èmi yóò ya ẹnu mi láti fi òwe sọ̀rọ̀. Èmi yóò sọ àwọn ohun tí ó fi ara sin láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé wá.”
This was in order that what had been said through the prophet might come true, when he said, “I will open my mouth in parables. I will say things that were hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36 Lẹ́yìn náà ó sì fi ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sílẹ̀ lóde, ó wọ ilé lọ. Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọn wí pé, “Ṣàlàyé òwe èpò inú oko fún wa.”
Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
37 Ó sì dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ọmọ Ènìyàn ni ẹni tí ó ń fúnrúgbìn rere.
Jesus answered and said, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 Ayé ni oko náà; irúgbìn rere ni àwọn ènìyàn ti ìjọba ọ̀run. Èpò ni àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n jẹ́ ti èṣù,
The field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39 ọ̀tá tí ó gbin àwọn èpò sáàrín alikama ni èṣù. Ìkórè ni òpin ayé, àwọn olùkórè sì ní àwọn angẹli. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kó èpò jọ, tí a sì sun ún nínú iná, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni yóò rí ní ìgbẹ̀yìn ayé. (aiōn g165)
Therefore, as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò ran àwọn angẹli rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì kó gbogbo ohun tó ń mú ni dẹ́ṣẹ̀ kúrò ní ìjọba rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ènìyàn búburú.
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the things that cause sin and those who commit iniquity.
42 Wọn yóò sì sọ wọ́n sí inú iná ìléru, níbi ti ẹkún òun ìpayínkeke yóò gbé wà.
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 Nígbà náà ni àwọn olódodo yóò máa ràn bí oòrùn ní ìjọba Baba wọn. Ẹni tí ó bá létí, jẹ́ kí ó gbọ́.
Then will the righteous people shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him listen.
44 “Ìjọba ọ̀run sì dàbí ìṣúra kan tí a fi pamọ́ sínú oko. Nígbà tí ọkùnrin kan rí i ó tún fi í pamọ́. Nítorí ayọ̀ rẹ̀, ó ta gbogbo ohun ìní rẹ̀, ó ra oko náà.
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. A man found it and hid it. In his joy he goes, sells everything he possesses, and buys that field.
45 “Bákan náà ni ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí oníṣòwò kan tí ó ń wá òkúta olówó iyebíye láti rà.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant looking for valuable pearls.
46 Nígbà tí ó rí ọ̀kan tí ó ni iye lórí, ó lọ láti ta gbogbo ohun ìní rẹ̀ láti le rà á.
When he found one pearl of very great value, he went and sold everything that he possessed and bought it.
47 “Bákan náà, a sì tún lè fi ìjọba ọ̀run wé àwọ̀n kan tí a jù sínú odò, ó sì kó onírúurú ẹja.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea, and that gathered creatures of every kind.
48 Nígbà tí àwọ̀n náà sì kún, àwọn apẹja fà á sókè sí etí bèbè Òkun, wọ́n jókòó, wọ́n sì ṣa àwọn èyí tí ó dára sínú apẹ̀rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n da àwọn tí kò dára nù.
When it was filled, the fishermen drew it up on the beach. Then they sat down and gathered the good things into containers, but the worthless things they threw away.
49 Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni yóò rí ní ìgbẹ̀yìn ayé. Àwọn angẹli yóò wá láti ya àwọn ènìyàn búburú kúrò lára àwọn olódodo. (aiōn g165)
It will be this way at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous. (aiōn g165)
50 Wọn ó sì ju àwọn ènìyàn búburú sínú iná ìléru náà, ní ibi ti ẹkún àti ìpayínkeke yóò gbé wà.”
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 Jesu bí wọn léèrè pé, “Ǹjẹ́ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí yé yín.” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ó yé wa.”
Have you understood all these things?” The disciples said to him, “Yes.”
52 Ó wí fún wọn pé, “Nítorí náà ni olúkúlùkù olùkọ́ òfin tí ó ti di ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn ní ìjọba ọ̀run ṣe dàbí ọkùnrin kan tí í ṣe baálé ilé, tí ó mú ìṣúra tuntun àti èyí tí ó ti gbó jáde láti inú yàrá ìṣúra rẹ̀.”
Then Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is the owner of a house, who draws out old and new things from his treasure.”
53 Lẹ́yìn ti Jesu ti parí òwe wọ̀nyí, ó ti ibẹ̀ kúrò.
Then it came about that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place.
54 Ó wá sí ìlú òun tìkára rẹ̀, níbẹ̀ ni ó ti ń kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn nínú Sinagọgu, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n. Wọ́n béèrè pé, “Níbo ni ọkùnrin yìí ti mú ọgbọ́n yìí àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu wọ̀nyí wá?
Then Jesus entered his own region and taught the people in their synagogue. The result was that they were astonished and said, “Where does this man get his wisdom and these miracles from?
55 Kì í ha ṣe ọmọ gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà ni èyí bí? Ìyá rẹ̀ ha kọ́ ni à ń pè ní Maria bí? Arákùnrin rẹ̀ ha kọ́ ni Jakọbu, Josẹfu, Simoni àti Judasi bí?
Is not this man the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? Are not his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
56 Àwọn arábìnrin rẹ̀ gbogbo ha kọ́ ni ó ń bá wa gbé níhìn-ín yìí, nígbà náà níbo ni ọkùnrin yìí ti rí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí?”
Are not all his sisters with us? Where did he get all these things?”
57 Inú bí wọn sí i. Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Wòlíì a máa lọ́lá ní ibòmíràn, àfi ní ilé ara rẹ̀ àti ní ìlú ara rẹ̀ nìkan ni wòlíì kò ti lọ́lá.”
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 family.”
58 Nítorí náà kò ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu kankan níbẹ̀, nítorí àìnígbàgbọ́ wọn.
He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
