Matthew 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea.	1 Εν εκεινη δε τη ημερα εξελθων ο Ιησους απο της οικιας εκαθητο πλησιον της θαλασσης?
2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore.	2 και συνηχθησαν προς αυτον οχλοι πολλοι, ωστε εμβας εις το πλοιον εκαθητο, και πας ο οχλος ιστατο επι τον αιγιαλον.
3 And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow.	3 Και ελαλησε προς αυτους πολλα δια παραβολων, λεγων? Ιδου, εξηλθεν ο σπειρων δια να σπειρη.
4 And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up.	4 Και ενω εσπειρεν, αλλα μεν επεσον παρα την οδον, και ηλθον τα πετεινα και κατεφαγον αυτα?
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep,	5 αλλα δε επεσον επι τα πετρωδη, οπου δεν ειχον γην πολλην, και ευθυς ανεφυησαν, επειδη δεν ειχον βαθος γης,
6 and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots.	6 και οτε ανετειλεν ο ηλιος εκαυματισθησαν και επειδη δεν ειχον ριζαν εξηρανθησαν?
7 Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it.	7 αλλα δε επεσον επι τας ακανθας, και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και απεπνιξαν αυτα?
8 But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.	8 αλλα δε επεσον επι την γην την καλην και εδιδον καρπον το μεν εκατον, το δε εξηκοντα, το δε τριακοντα.
9 Whoever has ears ought to hear."	9 Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη, ας ακουη.
10 The disciples approached him and said, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"	10 Και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται, ειπον προς αυτον? Δια τι λαλεις προς αυτους δια παραβολων;
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.	11 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Διοτι εις εσας εδοθη να γνωρισητε τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας των ουρανων, εις εκεινους ομως δεν εδοθη.
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.	12 Διοτι οστις εχει, ετι θελει δοθη εις αυτον και θελει περισσευθη? οστις ομως δεν εχει, και ο, τι εχει θελει αφαιρεθη απ' αυτου.
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.'	13 Δια τουτο λαλω προς αυτους δια παραβολων, διοτι βλεποντες δεν βλεπουσι και ακουοντες δεν ακουουσιν ουδε νοουσι.
14 Isaiah's prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says: 'You shall indeed hear but not understand you shall indeed look but never see.	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?
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.'	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.
16 "But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.	16 Υμων δε οι οφθαλμοι ειναι μακαριοι, διοτι βλεπουσι, και τα ωτα σας, διοτι ακουουσιν.
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.	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.
18 "Hear then the parable of the sower.	18 Σεις λοιπον ακουσατε την παραβολην του σπειροντος.
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.	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.
20 The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy.	20 Ο δε επι τα πετρωδη σπαρθεις, ουτος ειναι ο ακουων τον λογον και ευθυς μετα χαρας δεχομενος αυτον?
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.	21 δεν εχει ομως ριζαν εν εαυτω, αλλ' ειναι προσκαιρος, οταν δε γεινη θλιψις η διωγμος δια τον λογον, ευθυς σκανδαλιζεται.
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.	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.
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."	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.
24 He proposed another parable to them. "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field.	24 Αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν εις αυτους, λεγων? Ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων με ανθρωπον, οστις εσπειρε καλον σπορον εν τω αγρω αυτου?
25 While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off.	25 αλλ' ενω εκοιμωντο οι ανθρωποι, ηλθεν ο εχθρος αυτου και εσπειρε ζιζανια ανα μεσον του σιτου και ανεχωρησεν.
26 When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well.	26 Οτε δε εβλαστησεν ο χορτος και εκαμε καρπον, τοτε εφανησαν και 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?'	27 Προσελθοντες δε οι δουλοι του οικοδεσποτου ειπον προς αυτον? Κυριε, καλον σπορον δεν εσπειρας εν τω αγρω σου; ποθεν λοιπον εχει τα ζιζανια;
28 He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' His slaves said to him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'	28 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους? Εχθρος ανθρωπος εκαμε τουτο? οι δε δουλοι ειπον προς αυτον? Θελεις λοιπον να υπαγωμεν και να συλλεξωμεν αυτα;
29 He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them.	29 Ο δε ειπεν? Ουχι, μηποτε συλλεγοντες τα ζιζανια εκριζωσητε μετ' αυτων τον σιτον?
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."'"	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.
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.	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?
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.'"	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.
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."	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.
34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables. He spoke to them only in parables,	34 Ταυτα παντα ελαλησεν ο Ιησους δια παραβολων προς τους οχλους και χωρις παραβολης δεν ελαλει προς αυτους,
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)."	35 δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου, λεγοντος? Θελω ανοιξει εν παραβολαις το στομα μου, θελω απαγγειλει πραγματα κεκρυμμενα απο καταβολης κοσμου.
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."	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.
37 He said in reply, "He who sows good seed is the Son of Man,	37 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Ο σπειρων τον καλον σπορον ειναι ο Υιος του ανθρωπου?
38 the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one,	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?
39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.	39 ο δε εχθρος, οστις εσπειρεν αυτα, ειναι ο διαβολος? ο δε θερισμος ειναι η συντελεια του αιωνος? οι δε θερισται ειναι οι αγγελοι.
40 Just as weeds are collected and burned (up) with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.	40 Καθως λοιπον συλλεγονται τα ζιζανια και κατακαιονται εν πυρι, ουτω θελει εισθαι εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος τουτου.
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.	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,
42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.	42 και θελουσι ριψει αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος? εκει θελει εισθαι ο κλαυθμος και ο τριγμος των οδοντων.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear.	43 Τοτε οι δικαιοι θελουσιν εκλαμψει ως ο ηλιος εν τη βασιλεια του Πατρος αυτων. Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη ας ακουη.
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.	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.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.	45 Παλιν ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με ανθρωπον εμπορον ζητουντα καλους μαργαριτας?
46 When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.	46 οστις ευρων ενα πολυτιμον μαργαριτην, υπηγε και επωλησε παντα οσα ειχε και ηγορασεν αυτον.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind.	47 Παλιν ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με δικτυον, το οποιον ερριφθη εις την θαλασσαν και συνηγαγεν απο παντος ειδους?
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.	48 το οποιον, αφου εγεμισθη, ανεβιβασαν επι τον αιγιαλον και καθησαντες συνελεξαν τα καλα εις αγγεια, τα δε αχρεια ερριψαν εξω.
49 Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous	49 Ουτω θελει εισθαι εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος. Θελουσιν εξελθει οι αγγελοι και θελουσιν αποχωρισει τους πονηρους εκ μεσου των δικαιων,
50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.	50 και θελουσι ριψει αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος? εκει θελει εισθαι ο κλαυθμος και ο τριγμος των οδοντων.
51 "Do you understand all these things?" They answered, "Yes."	51 Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Ενοησατε ταυτα παντα; Λεγουσι προς αυτον? Ναι, Κυριε.
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."	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.
53 When Jesus finished these parables, he went away from there.	53 Και αφου ετελειωσεν ο Ιησους τας παραβολας ταυτας, ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν,
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?	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;
55 Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?	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;
56 Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this?"	56 και αι αδελφαι αυτου δεν ειναι πασαι παρ' ημιν; ποθεν λοιπον εις τουτον ταυτα παντα;
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."	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.
58 And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith.	58 Και δεν εκαμεν εκει πολλα θαυματα δια την απιστιαν αυτων.
