Vangelo secondo Matteo - Matthew 13

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Εν εκεινη δε τη ημερα εξελθων ο Ιησους απο της οικιας εκαθητο πλησιον της θαλασσης?	1 On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea.
2 και συνηχθησαν προς αυτον οχλοι πολλοι, ωστε εμβας εις το πλοιον εκαθητο, και πας ο οχλος ιστατο επι τον αιγιαλον.	2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore.
3 Και ελαλησε προς αυτους πολλα δια παραβολων, λεγων? Ιδου, εξηλθεν ο σπειρων δια να σπειρη.	3 And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow.
4 Και ενω εσπειρεν, αλλα μεν επεσον παρα την οδον, και ηλθον τα πετεινα και κατεφαγον αυτα?	4 And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up.
5 αλλα δε επεσον επι τα πετρωδη, οπου δεν ειχον γην πολλην, και ευθυς ανεφυησαν, επειδη δεν ειχον βαθος γης,	5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep,
6 και οτε ανετειλεν ο ηλιος εκαυματισθησαν και επειδη δεν ειχον ριζαν εξηρανθησαν?	6 and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots.
7 αλλα δε επεσον επι τας ακανθας, και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και απεπνιξαν αυτα?	7 Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it.
8 αλλα δε επεσον επι την γην την καλην και εδιδον καρπον το μεν εκατον, το δε εξηκοντα, το δε τριακοντα.	8 But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.
9 Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη, ας ακουη.	9 Whoever has ears ought to hear."
10 Και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται, ειπον προς αυτον? Δια τι λαλεις προς αυτους δια παραβολων;	10 The disciples approached him and said, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
11 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Διοτι εις εσας εδοθη να γνωρισητε τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας των ουρανων, εις εκεινους ομως δεν εδοθη.	11 He said to them in reply, "Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted.
12 Διοτι οστις εχει, ετι θελει δοθη εις αυτον και θελει περισσευθη? οστις ομως δεν εχει, και ο, τι εχει θελει αφαιρεθη απ' αυτου.	12 To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
13 Δια τουτο λαλω προς αυτους δια παραβολων, διοτι βλεποντες δεν βλεπουσι και ακουοντες δεν ακουουσιν ουδε νοουσι.	13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because 'they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand.'
14 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?	14 Isaiah's prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says: 'You shall indeed hear but not understand you shall indeed look but never see.
15 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.	15 Gross is the heart of this people, they will hardly hear with their ears, they have closed their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and be converted, and I heal them.'
16 Υμων δε οι οφθαλμοι ειναι μακαριοι, διοτι βλεπουσι, και τα ωτα σας, διοτι ακουουσιν.	16 "But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
17 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.	17 Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
18 Σεις λοιπον ακουσατε την παραβολην του σπειροντος.	18 "Hear then the parable of the sower.
19 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.	19 The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the kingdom without understanding it, and the evil one comes and steals away what was sown in his heart.
20 Ο δε επι τα πετρωδη σπαρθεις, ουτος ειναι ο ακουων τον λογον και ευθυς μετα χαρας δεχομενος αυτον?	20 The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy.
21 δεν εχει ομως ριζαν εν εαυτω, αλλ' ειναι προσκαιρος, οταν δε γεινη θλιψις η διωγμος δια τον λογον, ευθυς σκανδαλιζεται.	21 But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away.
22 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.	22 The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit.
23 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.	23 But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold."
24 Αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν εις αυτους, λεγων? Ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων με ανθρωπον, οστις εσπειρε καλον σπορον εν τω αγρω αυτου?	24 He proposed another parable to them. "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 αλλ' ενω εκοιμωντο οι ανθρωποι, ηλθεν ο εχθρος αυτου και εσπειρε ζιζανια ανα μεσον του σιτου και ανεχωρησεν.	25 While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off.
26 Οτε δε εβλαστησεν ο χορτος και εκαμε καρπον, τοτε εφανησαν και τα ζιζανια.	26 When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well.
27 Προσελθοντες δε οι δουλοι του οικοδεσποτου ειπον προς αυτον? Κυριε, καλον σπορον δεν εσπειρας εν τω αγρω σου; ποθεν λοιπον εχει τα ζιζανια;	27 The slaves of the householder came to him and said, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?'
28 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους? Εχθρος ανθρωπος εκαμε τουτο? οι δε δουλοι ειπον προς αυτον? Θελεις λοιπον να υπαγωμεν και να συλλεξωμεν αυτα;	28 He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' His slaves said to him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
29 Ο δε ειπεν? Ουχι, μηποτε συλλεγοντες τα ζιζανια εκριζωσητε μετ' αυτων τον σιτον?	29 He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them.
30 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.	30 Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, "First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
31 Αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν εις αυτους, λεγων? Ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με κοκκον σιναπεως, τον οποιον λαβων ανθρωπος εσπειρεν εν τω αγρω αυτου?	31 He proposed another parable to them. "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field.
32 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.	32 It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the 'birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.'"
33 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.	33 He spoke to them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened."
34 Ταυτα παντα ελαλησεν ο Ιησους δια παραβολων προς τους οχλους και χωρις παραβολης δεν ελαλει προς αυτους,	34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables. He spoke to them only in parables,
35 δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου, λεγοντος? Θελω ανοιξει εν παραβολαις το στομα μου, θελω απαγγειλει πραγματα κεκρυμμενα απο καταβολης κοσμου.	35 to fulfill what had been said through the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation (of the world)."
36 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.	36 Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house. His disciples approached him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."
37 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Ο σπειρων τον καλον σπορον ειναι ο Υιος του ανθρωπου?	37 He said in reply, "He who sows good seed is the Son of Man,
38 ο δε αγρος ειναι ο κοσμος? ο δε καλος σπορος, ουτοι ειναι οι υιοι της βασιλειας? τα δε ζιζανια ειναι οι υιοι του πονηρου?	38 the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one,
39 ο δε εχθρος, οστις εσπειρεν αυτα, ειναι ο διαβολος? ο δε θερισμος ειναι η συντελεια του αιωνος? οι δε θερισται ειναι οι αγγελοι.	39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40 Καθως λοιπον συλλεγονται τα ζιζανια και κατακαιονται εν πυρι, ουτω θελει εισθαι εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος τουτου.	40 Just as weeds are collected and burned (up) with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.
41 Θελει αποστειλει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου τους αγγελους αυτου, και θελουσι συλλεξει εκ της βασιλειας αυτου παντα τα σκανδαλα και τους πραττοντας την ανομιαν,	41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers.
42 και θελουσι ριψει αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος? εκει θελει εισθαι ο κλαυθμος και ο τριγμος των οδοντων.	42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
43 Τοτε οι δικαιοι θελουσιν εκλαμψει ως ο ηλιος εν τη βασιλεια του Πατρος αυτων. Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη ας ακουη.	43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear.
44 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.	44 "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
45 Παλιν ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με ανθρωπον εμπορον ζητουντα καλους μαργαριτας?	45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.
46 οστις ευρων ενα πολυτιμον μαργαριτην, υπηγε και επωλησε παντα οσα ειχε και ηγορασεν αυτον.	46 When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.
47 Παλιν ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με δικτυον, το οποιον ερριφθη εις την θαλασσαν και συνηγαγεν απο παντος ειδους?	47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind.
48 το οποιον, αφου εγεμισθη, ανεβιβασαν επι τον αιγιαλον και καθησαντες συνελεξαν τα καλα εις αγγεια, τα δε αχρεια ερριψαν εξω.	48 When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away.
49 Ουτω θελει εισθαι εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος. Θελουσιν εξελθει οι αγγελοι και θελουσιν αποχωρισει τους πονηρους εκ μεσου των δικαιων,	49 Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous
50 και θελουσι ριψει αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος? εκει θελει εισθαι ο κλαυθμος και ο τριγμος των οδοντων.	50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
51 Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Ενοησατε ταυτα παντα; Λεγουσι προς αυτον? Ναι, Κυριε.	51 "Do you understand all these things?" They answered, "Yes."
52 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.	52 And he replied, "Then every scribe who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old."
53 Και αφου ετελειωσεν ο Ιησους τας παραβολας ταυτας, ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν,	53 When Jesus finished these parables, he went away from there.
54 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;	54 He came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, "Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds?
55 δεν ειναι ουτος ο υιος του τεκτονος; η μητηρ αυτου δεν λεγεται Μαριαμ, και οι αδελφοι αυτου Ιακωβος και Ιωσης και Σιμων και Ιουδας;	55 Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
56 και αι αδελφαι αυτου δεν ειναι πασαι παρ' ημιν; ποθεν λοιπον εις τουτον ταυτα παντα;	56 Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this?"
57 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.	57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house."
58 Και δεν εκαμεν εκει πολλα θαυματα δια την απιστιαν αυτων.	58 And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith.
