Matthæum 13

VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 In illo die exiens Jesus de domo, sedebat secus mare.	1 In that day, Jesus, departing from the house, sat down beside the sea.
2 Et congregatæ sunt ad eum turbæ multæ, ita ut naviculam ascendens sederet : et omnis turba stabat in littore,	2 And such great crowds were gathered to him that he climbed into a boat and he sat down. And the entire multitude stood on the shore.
3 et locutus est eis multa in parabolis, dicens : Ecce exiit qui seminat, seminare.	3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow seed.
4 Et dum seminat, quædam ceciderunt secus viam, et venerunt volucres cæli, et comederunt ea.	4 And while he was sowing, some fell beside the road, and the birds of the air came and ate it.
5 Alia autem ceciderunt in petrosa, ubi non habebant terram multam : et continuo exorta sunt, quia non habebant altitudinem terræ :	5 Then others fell in a rocky place, where they did not have much soil. And they sprung up promptly, because they had no depth of soil.
6 sole autem orto æstuaverunt ; et quia non habebant radicem, aruerunt.	6 But when the sun rose up, they were scorched, and because they had no roots, they withered.
7 Alia autem ceciderunt in spinas : et creverunt spinæ, et suffocaverunt ea.	7 Still others fell among thorns, and the thorns increased and suffocated them.
8 Alia autem ceciderunt in terram bonam : et dabant fructum, aliud centesimum, aliud sexagesimum, aliud trigesimum.	8 Yet some others fell upon good soil, and they produced fruit: some one hundred fold, some sixty fold, some thirty fold.
9 Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.	9 Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 Et accedentes discipuli dixerunt ei : Quare in parabolis loqueris eis ?	10 And his disciples drew near to him and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
11 Qui respondens, ait illis : Quia vobis datum est nosse mysteria regni cælorum : illis autem non est datum.	11 Responding, he said to them: “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but it has not been given to them.
12 Qui enim habet, dabitur ei, et abundabit : qui autem non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.	12 For whoever has, it shall be given to him, and he shall have in abundance. But whoever has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
13 Ideo in parabolis loquor eis : quia videntes non vident, et audientes non audiunt, neque intelligunt.	13 For this reason, I speak to them in parables: because seeing, they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
14 Et adimpletur in eis prophetia Isaiæ, dicentis : Auditu audietis, et non intelligetis : et videntes videbitis, et non videbitis.	14 And so, in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who said, ‘Hearing, you shall hear, but not understand; and seeing, you shall see, but not perceive.
15 Incrassatum est enim cor populi hujus, et auribus graviter audierunt, et oculos suos clauserunt : nequando videant oculis, et auribus audiant, et corde intelligant, et convertantur, et sanem eos.	15 For the heart of this people has grown fat, and with their ears they hear heavily, and they have closed their eyes, lest at any time they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and then I would heal them.’
16 Vestri autem beati oculi quia vident, et aures vestræ quia audiunt.	16 But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
17 Amen quippe dico vobis, quia multi prophetæ et justi cupierunt videre quæ videtis, et non viderunt : et audire quæ auditis, et non audierunt.	17 Amen I say to you, certainly, that many of the prophets and the just desired to see what you see, and yet they did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and yet they did not hear it.
18 Vos ergo audite parabolam seminantis.	18 Listen, then, to the parable of the sower.
19 Omnis qui audit verbum regni, et non intelligit, venit malus, et rapit quod seminatum est in corde ejus : hic est qui secus viam seminatus est.	19 With anyone who hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, evil comes and carries away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received the seed by the side of the road.
20 Qui autem super petrosa seminatus est, hic est qui verbum audit, et continuo cum gaudio accipit illud :	20 Then whoever has received the seed upon a rocky place, this is one who hears the word and promptly accepts it with joy.
21 non habet autem in se radicem, sed est temporalis : facta autem tribulatione et persecutione propter verbum, continuo scandalizatur.	21 But he has no root in himself, so it is only for a time; then, when tribulation and persecution occur because of the word, he promptly stumbles.
22 Qui autem seminatus est in spinis, hic est qui verbum audit, et sollicitudo sæculi istius, et fallacia divitiarum suffocat verbum, et sine fructu efficitur.	22 And whoever has received the seed among thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the falseness of riches suffocate the word, and he is effectively without fruit.
23 Qui vero in terram bonam seminatus est, hic est qui audit verbum, et intelligit, et fructum affert, et facit aliud quidem centesimum, aliud autem sexagesimum, aliud vero trigesimum.	23 Yet truly, whoever has received the seed into good soil, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, and so he bears fruit, and he produces: some a hundred fold, and another sixty fold, and another thirty fold.”
24 Aliam parabolam proposuit illis, dicens : Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini, qui seminavit bonum semen in agro suo :	24 He proposed another parable to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 cum autem dormirent homines, venit inimicus ejus, et superseminavit zizania in medio tritici, et abiit.	25 But while the men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds amid the wheat, and then went away.
26 Cum autem crevisset herba, et fructum fecisset, tunc apparuerunt et zizania.	26 And when the plants had grown, and had produced fruit, then the weeds also appeared.
27 Accedentes autem servi patrisfamilias, dixerunt ei : Domine, nonne bonum semen seminasti in agro tuo ? unde ergo habet zizania ?	27 So the servants of the Father of the family, approaching, said to him: ‘Lord, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how is it that it has weeds?’
28 Et ait illis : Inimicus homo hoc fecit. Servi autem dixerunt ei : Vis, imus, et colligimus ea ?	28 And he said to them, ‘A man who is an enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Is it your will that we should go and gather them up?’
29 Et ait : Non : ne forte colligentes zizania, eradicetis simul cum eis et triticum.	29 And he said: ‘No, lest perhaps in gathering the weeds, you might also root out the wheat together with it.
30 Sinite utraque crescere usque ad messem, et in tempore messis dicam messoribus : Colligite primum zizania, et alligate ea in fasciculos ad comburendum : triticum autem congregate in horreum meum.	30 Permit both to grow until the harvest, and at the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers: Gather first the weeds, and bind them into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather into my storehouse.’ ”
31 Aliam parabolam proposuit eis dicens : Simile est regnum cælorum grano sinapis, quod accipiens homo seminavit in agro suo :	31 He proposed another parable to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.
32 quod minimum quidem est omnibus seminibus : cum autem creverit, majus est omnibus oleribus, et fit arbor, ita ut volucres cæli veniant, et habitent in ramis ejus.	32 It is, indeed, the least of all seeds, but when it has grown, it is greater than all the plants, and it becomes a tree, so much so that the birds of the air come and dwell in its branches.”
33 Aliam parabolam locutus est eis : Simile est regnum cælorum fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinæ satis tribus, donec fermentatum est totum.	33 He spoke another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of fine wheat flour, until it was entirely leavened.”
34 Hæc omnia locutus est Jesus in parabolis ad turbas : et sine parabolis non loquebatur eis :	34 All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the crowds. And he did not speak to them apart from parables,
35 ut impleretur quod dictum erat per prophetam dicentem : Aperiam in parabolis os meum ; eructabo abscondita a constitutione mundi.	35 in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet, saying: “I will open my mouth in parables. I will proclaim what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.”
36 Tunc, dimissis turbis, venit in domum : et accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, dicentes : Edissere nobis parabolam zizaniorum agri.	36 Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house. And his disciples drew near to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
37 Qui respondens ait illis : Qui seminat bonum semen, est Filius hominis.	37 Responding, he said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of man.
38 Ager autem est mundus. Bonum vero semen, hi sunt filii regni. Zizania autem, filii sunt nequam.	38 Now the field is the world. And the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom. But the weeds are the sons of wickedness.
39 Inimicus autem, qui seminavit ea, est diabolus. Messis vero, consummatio sæculi est. Messores autem, angeli sunt.	39 So the enemy who sowed them is the devil. And truly, the harvest is the consummation of the age; while the reapers are the Angels.
40 Sicut ergo colliguntur zizania, et igni comburuntur : sic erit in consummatione sæculi.	40 Therefore, just as weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the consummation of the age.
41 Mittet Filius hominis angelos suos, et colligent de regno ejus omnia scandala, et eos qui faciunt iniquitatem :	41 The Son of man shall send out his Angels, and they shall gather from his kingdom all who lead astray and those who work iniquity.
42 et mittent eos in caminum ignis. Ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.	42 And he shall cast them into the furnace of fire, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Tunc justi fulgebunt sicut sol in regno Patris eorum. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.	43 Then the just ones shall shine like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
44 Simile est regnum cælorum thesauro abscondito in agro : quem qui invenit homo, abscondit, et præ gaudio illius vadit, et vendit universa quæ habet, et emit agrum illum.	44 The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. When a man finds it, he hides it, and, because of his joy, he goes and sells everything that he has, and he buys that field.
45 Iterum simile est regnum cælorum homini negotiatori, quærenti bonas margaritas.	45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking good pearls.
46 Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quæ habuit, et emit eam.	46 Having found one pearl of great value, he went away and sold all that he had, and he bought it.
47 Iterum simile est regnum cælorum sagenæ missæ in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti.	47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, which gathers together all kinds of fish.
48 Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonos in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt.	48 When it has been filled, drawing it out and sitting beside the shore, they selected the good into vessels, but the bad they threw away.
49 Sic erit in consummatione sæculi : exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio justorum,	49 So shall it be at the consummation of the age. The Angels shall go forth and separate the bad from the midst of the just.
50 et mittent eos in caminum ignis : ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium.	50 And they shall cast them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 Intellexistis hæc omnia ? Dicunt ei : Etiam.	51 Have you understood all these things?” They say to him, “Yes.”
52 Ait illis : Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno cælorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera.	52 He said to them, “Therefore, every scribe well-taught about the kingdom of heaven, is like a man, the father of a family, who offers from his storehouse both the new and the old.”
53 Et factum est, cum consummasset Jesus parabolas istas, transiit inde.	53 And it happened that, when Jesus had completed these parables, he went away from there.
54 Et veniens in patriam suam, docebat eos in synagogis eorum, ita ut mirarentur, et dicerent : Unde huic sapientia hæc, et virtutes ?	54 And arriving in his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so much so that they wondered and said: “How can such wisdom and power be with this one?
55 Nonne hic est fabri filius ? nonne mater ejus dicitur Maria, et fratres ejus, Jacobus, et Joseph, et Simon, et Judas ?	55 Is this not the son of a workman? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude?
56 et sorores ejus, nonne omnes apud nos sunt ? unde ergo huic omnia ista ?	56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Therefore, from where has this one obtained all these things?”
57 Et scandalizabantur in eo. Jesus autem dixit eis : Non est propheta sine honore, nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua.	57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house.”
58 Et non fecit ibi virtutes multas propter incredulitatem illorum.	58 And he did not work many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
