Matthew 13

1On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

εν δε τη ημερα εκεινη εξελθων ο ιησους της οικιας εκαθητο παρα την θαλασσαν·

2And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

και συνηχθησαν προς αυτον οχλοι πολλοι, ωστε αυτον εις πλοιον εμβαντα καθησθαι, και πας ο οχλος επι τον αιγιαλον ειστηκει.

3Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: 'Behold, a sower went out to sow.

και ελαλησεν αυτοις πολλα εν παραβολαις λεγων· ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι.

4And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.

και εν τω σπειρειν αυτον α μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον, και ελθοντα τα πετεινα κατεφαγεν αυτα·

5Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.

αλλα δε επεσεν επι τα πετρωδη, οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην, και ευθεως εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθος γης,

6But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.

ηλιου δε ανατειλαντος εκαυματισθη, και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη·

7And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them.

αλλα δε επεσεν επι τας ακανθας, και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και απεπνιξαν αυτα·

8But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

αλλα δε επεσεν επι την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον ο μεν εκατον, ο δε εξηκοντα, ο δε τριακοντα.

9He who has ears to hear, let him hear!'

ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω.

10And the disciples came and said to Him, 'Why do You speak to them in parables?'

και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται ειπον αυτω· διατι εν παραβολαις λαλεις αυτοις;

11He answered and said to them, 'Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις· οτι υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας των ουρανων, εκεινοις δε ου δεδοται.

12For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

οστις γαρ εχει, δοθησεται αυτω και περισσευθησεται· οστις δε ουκ εχει, και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου.

13Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

δια τουτο εν παραβολαις αυτοις λαλω, ινα βλεποντες μη βλεπωσιν και ακουοντες μη ακουωσιν μηδε συνωσιν, μηποτε επιστρεψωσιν·

14And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: 'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive;

και τοτε πληρωθησεται αυτοις η προφητεια ησαιου [η] λεγουσα· ακοη ακουσετε και ου μη συνητε, και βλεποντες βλεψετε και ου μη ιδητε·

15For the hearts of this people have grown dull.

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.

16Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.' But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;

υμων δε μακαριοι οι οφθαλμοι, οτι βλεπουσιν, και τα ωτα υμων, οτι ακουουσιν.

17for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν οτι πολλοι προφηται και δικαιοι επεθυμησαν ιδειν α βλεπετε, και ουκ ειδον, και ακουσαι α ακουετε, και ουκ ηκουσαν.

18'Therefore hear the parable of the sower:

υμεις ουν ακουσατε την παραβολην του σπειραντος.

19When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

παντος ακουοντος τον λογον της βασιλειας και μη συνιεντος, ερχεται ο πονηρος και αιρει το εσπαρμενον εν τη καρδια αυτου· ουτος εστιν ο παρα την οδον σπαρεις.

20But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

ο δε επι τα πετρωδη σπαρεις, ουτος εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και ευθεως μετα χαρας [δεχομενος και] λαμβανων αυτον·

21yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

ουκ εχει δε ριζαν εν εαυτω, αλλα προσκαιρος εστιν, γενομενης δε θλιψεως η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθυς σκανδαλιζεται.

22Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

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.

23But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.'

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.

24Another parable He put forth to them, saying: 'The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;

αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν αυτοις λεγων· ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω σπειραντι καλον σπερμα εν τω αγρω αυτου·

25but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.

εν δε τω καθευδειν τους ανθρωπους ηλθεν αυτου ο εχθρος και εσπειρεν ζιζανια ανα μεσον του σιτου και απηλθεν.

26But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.

οτε δε εβλαστησεν ο χορτος και καρπον εποιησεν, τοτε εφανη και τα ζιζανια.

27So the servants of the owner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?'

προσελθοντες δε οι δουλοι του οικοδεσποτου ειπον αυτω· κυριε, ουχι καλον σπερμα εσπειρας εν τω [σω] αγρω; ποθεν ουν εχει ζιζανια;

28He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'Do you want us then to go and gather them up?'

ο δε εφη αυτοις· εχθρος ανθρωπος τουτο εποιησεν. οι δε δουλοι ειπον αυτω· θελεις ουν απελθοντες συλλεξωμεν αυτα;

29But he said, 'No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.

ο δε εφη· ου, μηποτε συλλεγοντες τα ζιζανια εκριζωσητε αμα αυτοις τον σιτον·

30Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, 'First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.' ' '

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.

31Another parable He put forth to them, saying: 'The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field,

αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν αυτοις λεγων· ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων κοκκω σιναπεως, ον λαβων ανθρωπος εσπειρεν εν τω αγρω αυτου·

32which indeed is the least of all the 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 nest in its branches.'

ο μικροτερον μεν εστιν παντων των σπερματων, οταν δε αυξηθη, μειζον [παντων] των λαχανων εστιν και γινεται δενδρον, ωστε ελθειν τα πετεινα του ουρανου και κατασκηνουν εν τοις κλαδοις αυτου.

33Another parable He spoke to them: 'The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.'

αλλην παραβολην ελαλησεν αυτοις· ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ζυμη, ην λαβουσα γυνη ενεκρυψεν εις αλευρου σατα τρια, εως ου εζυμωθη ολον.

34All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them,

ταυτα παντα ελαλησεν ο ιησους εν παραβολαις τοις οχλοις, και χωρις παραβολης ουδεν ελαλει αυτοις,

35that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: 'I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.'

οπως πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου λεγοντος· ανοιξω εν παραβολαις το στομα μου, ερευξομαι κεκρυμμενα απο καταβολης κοσμου.

36Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, 'Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.'

τοτε αφεις τους οχλους ηλθεν εις την οικιαν αυτου. και προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες· φρασον ημιν την παραβολην των ζιζανιων του αγρου.

37He answered and said to them: 'He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις· ο σπειρων το καλον σπερμα εστιν ο υιος του ανθρωπου·

38The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.

ο δε αγρος εστιν ο κοσμος· το δε καλον σπερμα, ουτοι εισιν οι υιοι της βασιλειας· τα δε ζιζανια εισιν οι υιοι του πονηρου·

39The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.

ο δε εχθρος ο σπειρας αυτα εστιν ο διαβολος· ο δε θερισμος συντελεια του αιωνος εστιν· οι δε θερισται αγγελοι εισιν.

40Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

ωσπερ ουν συλλεγεται τα ζιζανια και πυρι καιεται, ουτως εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος τουτου.

41The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,

αποστελει ο υιος του ανθρωπου τους αγγελους αυτου, και συλλεξουσιν εκ της βασιλειας αυτου παντα τα σκανδαλα και τους ποιουντας την ανομιαν,

42and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

και βαλουσιν αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος· εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων.

43Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

τοτε οι δικαιοι εκλαμψουσιν ως ο ηλιος εν τη βασιλεια του πατρος αυτων. ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω.

44'Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

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.

45'Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,

παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω εμπορω ζητουντι καλους μαργαριτας·

46who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

ος ευρων ενα πολυτιμον μαργαριτην απελθων πεπρακεν παντα οσα ειχεν και ηγορασεν αυτον.

47'Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind,

παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων σαγηνη βληθειση εις την θαλασσαν και εκ παντος γενους συναγαγουση·

48which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.

ην, οτε επληρωθη, αναβιβασαντες αυτην επι τον αιγιαλον και καθισαντες συνελεξαν τα καλα εις αγγεια, τα δε σαπρα εξω εβαλον.

49So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just,

ουτως εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος. εξελευσονται οι αγγελοι και αφοριουσιν τους πονηρους εκ μεσου των δικαιων,

50and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.'

και βαλουσιν αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος· εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων.

51Jesus said to them, 'Have you understood all these things?'

λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους· συνηκατε ταυτα παντα; λεγουσιν αυτω, ναι, κυριε.

52They said to Him, 'Yes, Lord.' Then He said to them, 'Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.'

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.

53Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.

και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο ιησους τας παραβολας ταυτας μετηρεν εκειθεν,

54When He had come to 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?

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;

55Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

ουχ ουτος εστιν ο του τεκτονος υιος; ουχι η μητηρ αυτου λεγεται μαριαμ και οι αδελφοι αυτου ιακωβος και ιωσης και σιμων και ιουδας;

56And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?'

και αι αδελφαι αυτου ουχι πασαι προς ημας εισιν; ποθεν ουν τουτω ταυτα παντα;

57So they were offended at Him.

και εσκανδαλιζοντο εν αυτω. ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· ουκ εστιν προφητης ατιμος ει μη εν τη πατριδι αυτου και εν τη οικια αυτου.

58But Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.' Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

και ουκ εποιησεν εκει δυναμεις πολλας δια την απιστιαν αυτων.
