Matthew 13

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

Εν εκεινη δε τη ημερα εξελθων ο Ιησους απο της οικιας εκαθητο πλησιον της θαλασσης

And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

και συνηχθησαν προς αυτον οχλοι πολλοι, ωστε εμβας εις το πλοιον εκαθητο, και πας ο οχλος ιστατο επι τον αιγιαλον.

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

Και ελαλησε προς αυτους πολλα δια παραβολων, λεγων Ιδου, εξηλθεν ο σπειρων δια να σπειρη.

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

Και ενω εσπειρεν, αλλα μεν επεσον παρα την οδον, και ηλθον τα πετεινα και κατεφαγον αυτα

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

αλλα δε επεσον επι τα πετρωδη, οπου δεν ειχον γην πολλην, και ευθυς ανεφυησαν, επειδη δεν ειχον βαθος γης,

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

και οτε ανετειλεν ο ηλιος εκαυματισθησαν και επειδη δεν ειχον ριζαν εξηρανθησαν

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

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

But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

αλλα δε επεσον επι την γην την καλην και εδιδον καρπον το μεν εκατον, το δε εξηκοντα, το δε τριακοντα.

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη, ας ακουη.

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

Και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται, ειπον προς αυτον Δια τι λαλεις προς αυτους δια παραβολων;

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους Διοτι εις εσας εδοθη να γνωρισητε τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας των ουρανων, εις εκεινους ομως δεν εδοθη.

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Διοτι οστις εχει, ετι θελει δοθη εις αυτον και θελει περισσευθη οστις ομως δεν εχει, και ο, τι εχει θελει αφαιρεθη απ αυτου.

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

Δια τουτο λαλω προς αυτους δια παραβολων, διοτι βλεποντες δεν βλεπουσι και ακουοντες δεν ακουουσιν ουδε νοουσι.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

Και εκπληρουται επ αυτων η προφητεια του Ησαιου η λεγουσα Με την ακοην θελετε ακουσει και δεν θελετε εννοησει, και βλεποντες θελετε ιδει και δεν θελετε καταλαβει

For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

διοτι επαχυνθη η καρδια του λαου τουτου, και με τα ωτα βαρεως ηκουσαν και τους οφθαλμους αυτων εκλεισαν μηποτε ιδωσι με τους οφθαλμους και ακουσωσι με τα ωτα και νοησωσι με την καρδιαν και επιστρεψωσι, και ιατρευσω αυτους.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

Υμων δε οι οφθαλμοι ειναι μακαριοι, διοτι βλεπουσι, και τα ωτα σας, διοτι ακουουσιν.

For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Επειδη αληθως σας λεγω οτι πολλοι προφηται και δικαιοι επεθυμησαν να ιδωσιν οσα βλεπετε, και δεν ειδον, και να ακουσωσιν οσα ακουετε, και δεν ηκουσαν.

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

Σεις λοιπον ακουσατε την παραβολην του σπειροντος.

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

Παντος ακουοντος τον λογον της βασιλειας και μη νοουντος, ερχεται ο πονηρος και αρπαζει το εσπαρμενον εν τη καρδια αυτου ουτος ειναι ο σπαρθεις παρα την οδον.

But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

Ο δε επι τα πετρωδη σπαρθεις, ουτος ειναι ο ακουων τον λογον και ευθυς μετα χαρας δεχομενος αυτον

Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

δεν εχει ομως ριζαν εν εαυτω, αλλ ειναι προσκαιρος, οταν δε γεινη θλιψις η διωγμος δια τον λογον, ευθυς σκανδαλιζεται.

He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

Ο δε εις τας ακανθας σπαρθεις, ουτος ειναι ο ακουων τον λογον, επειτα η μεριμνα του αιωνος τουτου και η απατη του πλουτου συμπνιγει τον λογον, και γινεται ακαρπος.

But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Ο δε σπαρθεις επι την γην την καλην, ουτος ειναι ο ακουων τον λογον και νοων οστις και καρποφορει και καμνει ο μεν εκατον, ο δε εξηκοντα, ο δε τριακοντα.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

Αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν εις αυτους, λεγων Ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων με ανθρωπον, οστις εσπειρε καλον σπορον εν τω αγρω αυτου

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

αλλ ενω εκοιμωντο οι ανθρωποι, ηλθεν ο εχθρος αυτου και εσπειρε ζιζανια ανα μεσον του σιτου και ανεχωρησεν.

But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

Οτε δε εβλαστησεν ο χορτος και εκαμε καρπον, τοτε εφανησαν και τα ζιζανια.

So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

Προσελθοντες δε οι δουλοι του οικοδεσποτου ειπον προς αυτον Κυριε, καλον σπορον δεν εσπειρας εν τω αγρω σου; ποθεν λοιπον εχει τα ζιζανια;

He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους Εχθρος ανθρωπος εκαμε τουτο οι δε δουλοι ειπον προς αυτον Θελεις λοιπον να υπαγωμεν και να συλλεξωμεν αυτα;

But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

Ο δε ειπεν Ουχι, μηποτε συλλεγοντες τα ζιζανια εκριζωσητε μετ αυτων τον σιτον

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

αφησατε να συναυξανωσιν αμφοτερα μεχρι του θερισμου, και εν τω καιρω του θερισμου θελω ειπει προς τους θεριστας Συλλεξατε πρωτον τα ζιζανια και δεσατε αυτα εις δεσμας δια να κατακαυσητε αυτα, τον δε σιτον συναξατε εις την αποθηκην μου.

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

Αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν εις αυτους, λεγων Ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με κοκκον σιναπεως, τον οποιον λαβων ανθρωπος εσπειρεν εν τω αγρω αυτου

Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

το οποιον ειναι μεν μικροτερον παντων των σπερματων, οταν ομως αυξηθη ειναι μεγαλητερον των λαχανων και γινεται δενδρον, ωστε ερχονται τα πετεινα του ουρανου και κατασκηνουσιν εν τοις κλαδοις αυτου.

Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Αλλην παραβολην ειπε προς αυτους Ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με προζυμιον, το οποιον λαβουσα γυνη ενεκρυψεν εις τρια μετρα αλευρου, εωσου εγεινεν ολον ενζυμον.

All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

Ταυτα παντα ελαλησεν ο Ιησους δια παραβολων προς τους οχλους και χωρις παραβολης δεν ελαλει προς αυτους,

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου, λεγοντος Θελω ανοιξει εν παραβολαις το στομα μου, θελω απαγγειλει πραγματα κεκρυμμενα απο καταβολης κοσμου.

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

Τοτε αφησας τους οχλους ηλθεν εις την οικιαν ο Ιησους. Και προσηλθον προς αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου, λεγοντες Εξηγησον εις ημας την παραβολην των ζιζανιων του αγρου.

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους Ο σπειρων τον καλον σπορον ειναι ο Υιος του ανθρωπου

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

ο δε αγρος ειναι ο κοσμος ο δε καλος σπορος, ουτοι ειναι οι υιοι της βασιλειας τα δε ζιζανια ειναι οι υιοι του πονηρου

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

ο δε εχθρος, οστις εσπειρεν αυτα, ειναι ο διαβολος ο δε θερισμος ειναι η συντελεια του αιωνος οι δε θερισται ειναι οι αγγελοι.

As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

Καθως λοιπον συλλεγονται τα ζιζανια και κατακαιονται εν πυρι, ουτω θελει εισθαι εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος τουτου.

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

Θελει αποστειλει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου τους αγγελους αυτου, και θελουσι συλλεξει εκ της βασιλειας αυτου παντα τα σκανδαλα και τους πραττοντας την ανομιαν,

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

και θελουσι ριψει αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος εκει θελει εισθαι ο κλαυθμος και ο τριγμος των οδοντων.

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Τοτε οι δικαιοι θελουσιν εκλαμψει ως ο ηλιος εν τη βασιλεια του Πατρος αυτων. Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη ας ακουη.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Παλιν ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με θησαυρον κεκρυμμενον εν τω αγρω, τον οποιον ευρων ανθρωπος εκρυψε, και απο της χαρας αυτου υπαγει και πωλει παντα οσα εχει και αγοραζει τον αγρον εκεινον.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

Παλιν ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με ανθρωπον εμπορον ζητουντα καλους μαργαριτας

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

οστις ευρων ενα πολυτιμον μαργαριτην, υπηγε και επωλησε παντα οσα ειχε και ηγορασεν αυτον.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

Παλιν ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με δικτυον, το οποιον ερριφθη εις την θαλασσαν και συνηγαγεν απο παντος ειδους

Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

το οποιον, αφου εγεμισθη, ανεβιβασαν επι τον αιγιαλον και καθησαντες συνελεξαν τα καλα εις αγγεια, τα δε αχρεια ερριψαν εξω.

So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

Ουτω θελει εισθαι εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος. Θελουσιν εξελθει οι αγγελοι και θελουσιν αποχωρισει τους πονηρους εκ μεσου των δικαιων,

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

και θελουσι ριψει αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος εκει θελει εισθαι ο κλαυθμος και ο τριγμος των οδοντων.

Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους Ενοησατε ταυτα παντα; Λεγουσι προς αυτον Ναι, Κυριε.

Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους Δια τουτο πας γραμματευς, μαθητευθεις εις τα περι της βασιλειας των ουρανων, ειναι ομοιος με ανθρωπον οικοδεσποτην, οστις εκβαλλει εκ του θησαυρου αυτου νεα και παλαια.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

Και αφου ετελειωσεν ο Ιησους τας παραβολας ταυτας, ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν,

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

και ελθων εις την πατριδα αυτου, εδιδασκεν αυτους εν τη συναγωγη αυτων, ωστε εξεπληττοντο και ελεγον Ποθεν εις τουτον η σοφια αυτη και αι δυναμεις;

Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

δεν ειναι ουτος ο υιος του τεκτονος; η μητηρ αυτου δεν λεγεται Μαριαμ, και οι αδελφοι αυτου Ιακωβος και Ιωσης και Σιμων και Ιουδας;

And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

και αι αδελφαι αυτου δεν ειναι πασαι παρ ημιν; ποθεν λοιπον εις τουτον ταυτα παντα;

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

Και εσκανδαλιζοντο εν αυτω. Ο δε Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους Δεν ειναι προφητης ανευ τιμης ειμη εν τη πατριδι αυτου και εν τη οικια αυτου.

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Και δεν εκαμεν εκει πολλα θαυματα δια την απιστιαν αυτων.
