1 Και παλιν ηρχισε να διδασκη πλησιον της θαλασσης? και συνηχθη προς αυτον οχλος πολυς, ωστε εισελθων εις το πλοιον εκαθητο εις την θαλασσαν? και πας ο οχλος ητο επι της γης πλησιον της θαλασσης. | 1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. |
2 Και εδιδασκεν αυτους δια παραβολων πολλα, και ελεγε προς αυτους εν τη διδαχη αυτου? | 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, |
3 Ακουετε? ιδου, εξηλθεν ο σπειρων δια να σπειρη. | 3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: |
4 Και ενω εσπειρεν, αλλο μεν επεσε παρα την οδον, και ηλθον τα πετεινα του ουρανου και κατεφαγον αυτο. | 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. |
5 Αλλο δε επεσεν επι το πετρωδες, οπου δεν ειχε γην πολλην, και ευθυς ανεφυη, διοτι δεν ειχε βαθος γης, | 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: |
6 και οτε ανετειλεν ο ηλιος εκαυματισθη, και επειδη δεν ειχε ριζαν εξηρανθη. | 6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. |
7 Και αλλο επεσεν εις τας ακανθας, και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και συνεπνιξαν αυτο, και καρπον δεν εδωκε? | 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. |
8 και αλλο επεσεν εις την γην την καλην και εδιδε καρπον αναβαινοντα και αυξανοντα, και εδωκεν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον. | 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. |
9 Και ελεγε προς αυτους? Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη, ας ακουη. | 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. |
10 Οτε δε εμεινε καταμονας, ηρωτησαν αυτον οι περι αυτον μετα των δωδεκα περι της παραβολης. | 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. |
11 Και ελεγε προς αυτους? Εις εσας εδοθη να γνωρισητε το μυστηριον της βασιλειας του Θεου? εις εκεινους δε τους εξω δια παραβολων τα παντα γινονται, | 11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: |
12 δια να βλεπωσι βλεποντες και να μη ιδωσι, και να ακουωσιν ακουοντες και να μη νοησωσι, μηποτε επιστρεψωσι και συγχωρηθωσιν εις αυτους τα αμαρτηματα. | 12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. |
13 Και λεγει προς αυτους? Δεν εξευρετε την παραβολην ταυτην, και πως θελετε γνωρισει πασας τας παραβολας; | 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? |
14 Ο σπειρων τον λογον σπειρει. | 14 The sower soweth the word. |
15 Οι δε παρα την οδον ειναι ουτοι, εις τους οποιους σπειρεται ο λογος, και οταν ακουσωσιν, ευθυς ερχεται ο Σατανας, και αφαιρει τον λογον τον εσπαρμενον εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων. | 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. |
16 Και ομοιως οι επι τα πετρωδη σπειρομενοι ειναι ουτοι, οιτινες οταν ακουσωσι τον λογον, ευθυς μετα χαρας δεχονται αυτον, | 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; |
17 δεν εχουσιν ομως ριζαν εν εαυτοις, αλλ' ειναι προσκαιροι? επειτα οταν γεινη θλιψις η διωγμος δια τον λογον, ευθυς σκανδαλιζονται. | 17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. |
18 Και οι εις τας ακανθας σπειρομενοι ειναι ουτοι, οιτινες ακουουσι τον λογον, | 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, |
19 και αι μεριμναι του αιωνος τουτου και η απατη του πλουτου και αι επιθυμιαι των αλλων πραγματων εισερχομεναι συμπνιγουσι τον λογον, και γινεται ακαρπος. | 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. |
20 Και οι εις την γην την καλην σπαρεντες ειναι ουτοι, οιτινες ακουουσι τον λογον και παραδεχονται και καρποφορουσιν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον. | 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. |
21 Και ελεγε προς αυτους? Μηπως ο λυχνος ερχεται δια να τεθη υπο τον μοδιον η υπο την κλινην; ουχι δια να τεθη επι τον λυχνοστατην; | 21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? |
22 διοτι δεν ειναι τι κρυπτον, το οποιον δεν θελει φανερωθη, ουδ' εγεινε τι αποκρυφον, το οποιον δεν θελει ελθει εις το φανερον. | 22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. |
23 Οστις εχει ωτα δια να ακουη, ας ακουη. | 23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. |
24 Και ελεγε προς αυτους? Προσεχετε τι ακουετε. Με οποιον μετρον μετρειτε, θελει μετρηθη εις εσας, και θελει γεινει προσθηκη εις εσας τους ακουοντας. | 24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. |
25 Διοτι οστις εχει, θελει δοθη εις αυτον? και οστις δεν εχει, και εκεινο το οποιον εχει θελει αφαιρεθη απ' αυτου. | 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. |
26 Και ελεγεν? Ουτως ειναι η βασιλεια του Θεου, ως εαν ανθρωπος ριψη τον σπορον επι της γης, | 26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; |
27 και κοιμαται και σηκονηται νυκτα και ημεραν, και ο σπορος βλαστανη και αυξανη καθως αυτος δεν εξευρει. | 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. |
28 Διοτι αφ' εαυτης η γη καρποφορει, πρωτον χορτον, επειτα ασταχυον, επειτα πληρη σιτον εν τω ασταχυω. | 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. |
29 Οταν δε ωριμαση ο καρπος, ευθυς αποστελλει το δρεπανον, διοτι ηλθεν ο θερισμος. | 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. |
30 Ετι ελεγε? Με τι να ομοιωσωμεν την βασιλειαν του Θεου; η με ποιαν παραβολην να παραβαλωμεν αυτην; | 30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? |
31 Ειναι ομοια με κοκκον σιναπεως, οστις, οταν σπαρη επι της γης, ειναι μικροτερος παντων των σπερματων των επι της γης? | 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: |
32 αφου δε σπαρη, αναβαινει και γινεται μεγαλητερος παντων των λαχανων και καμνει κλαδους μεγαλους, ωστε υπο την σκιαν αυτου δυνανται τα πετεινα του ουρανου να κατασκηνωσι. | 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. |
33 Και δια τοιουτων πολλων παραβολων ελαλει προς αυτους τον λογον, καθως ηδυναντο να ακουωσι, | 33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. |
34 χωρις δε παραβολης δεν ελαλει προς αυτους? κατ ιδιαν ομως εξηγει παντα εις τους μαθητας αυτου. | 34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. |
35 Και λεγει προς αυτους εν εκεινη τη ημερα, οτε εγεινεν εσπερα? Ας διελθωμεν εις το περαν. | 35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. |
36 Και αφησαντες τον οχλον, παραλαμβανουσιν αυτον ως ητο εν τω πλοιω και αλλα δε πλοιαρια ησαν μετ' αυτου. | 36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. |
37 Και γινεται μεγας ανεμοστροβιλος και τα κυματα εισεβαλλον εις το πλοιον, ωστε αυτο ηδη εγεμιζετο. | 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. |
38 Και αυτος ητο επι της πρυμνης κοιμωμενος επι το προσκεφαλαιον? και εξυπνουσιν αυτον και λεγουσι προς αυτον? Διδασκαλε, δεν σε μελει οτι χανομεθα; | 38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? |
39 Και σηκωθεις επετιμησε τον ανεμον και ειπε προς την θαλασσαν? Σιωπα, ησυχασον. Και επαυσεν ο ανεμος, και εγεινε γαληνη μεγαλη. | 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. |
40 Και ειπε προς αυτους? Δια τι εισθε ουτω δειλοι; πως δεν εχετε πιστιν; | 40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? |
41 Και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν και ελεγον προς αλληλους? Τις λοιπον ειναι ουτος, οτι και ο ανεμος και η θαλασσα υπακουουσιν εις αυτον; | 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? |
