Matthew 13 (GEL)

1U̱ te̱k-u̱ ho̱-u̱r re̱, Ye̱so̱ ru du̱gu̱ u-bu, wa shu̱'u̱t u̱-kit m-sa.That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

2Ban-du̱ u̱t-ne̱t u-tát e̱ haan e̱ gu̱ns wu̱n, m-te da-u̱ wa cwa u̱-me̱ u-hat wa shu̱'u̱t, ne̱t-tu̱ mo̱ro̱g u̱-kit m-sa e̱ hog-u̱t wu̱n.Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

3Ye̱so̱ waru̱ u̱n u̱t-no̱m u-tát u̱ te̱k-u̱ sha-mu̱ u̱s-rem, wa zu̱, <<Waku̱n wa-u̱r-to̱m wa haag u-tak remu̱ wa no̱m-u̱t ku̱w.And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Wa o̱ te̱k-u̱ as-du̱ go', se̱ e̱ke̱n go̱'e̱ he u̱ do̱m u-fu̱n, no haan u̱ du̱gru̱sse̱ e̱.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5E̱ke̱n tu̱msu̱ he u̱ be-du̱ u̱t-ta'ar, be-du̱ zatte̱ m-huug sok da. E̱ apu̱n za rem, remu̱ zu̱ huug-mo̱ u̱-do̱m u̱t-ta'ar u̱-ta.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Se̱di da-u̱ ho̱-yu̱ no̱me̱ m-du̱ng, se̱ e̱ baru̱sse̱ e̱ gu̱u̱s, remu̱ zu̱ e̱ zatte̱ u̱s-gu̱r sok da.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Tu̱msu̱ e̱ke̱n go̱'e̱ he u̱ be-du̱ u̱s-hir, hir-su̱ rogom se̱ hoos e̱ u̱t-rogom.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.

8E̱ke̱n he u̱ be-u̱r so̱-de̱, e̱ nom so, e̱ke̱n u-ko̱k u-gan , e̱ke̱n u̱t-shik u̱t-tu̱t , tu̱msu̱ e̱ke̱n u̱r-shik u̱ o̱p .Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.

9Yage̱ wa to̱-tu̱ u̱t-ho̱g, wa ho̱g.>>He who has ears, let him hear.”

10A-doru̱ Ye̱so̱ haan e̱ shit wu̱n u̱zu̱, <<¿Remu̱ u-yan o̱ bo̱ o̱tte̱ no̱mu̱ ne̱t-tu̱ tun-to̱ sha-mu̱ u̱s-rem?>>Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

11Wa shu̱s wa zu̱, <<Ru̱-u̱ yaag no̱ nap-mu̱ no̱m-tu̱ m-yasa tu̱ Faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱, se̱di u̱n na yaag u̱n da.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12Ne̱t wu̱ o̱tte̱ u-no̱m wa na de̱ u̱t-swu̱re̱ u-tát. Tu̱msu̱ wu̱ zatte̱ da, ko̱ no̱m-u̱ wa o̱tte̱ na de̱ u̱t-o̱nk du̱gu̱-du̱ wa.Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

13De̱ wu̱te̱ u̱m o̱tte̱ no̱mu̱ u̱n sha-mu̱ u̱s-rem: <<Remu̱ zu̱ ko̱ u̱n gwak-u̱t u̱n za u̱t-hyan da, ko̱ u̱n e̱re̱g u̱n za u̱t-nap da.This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’

14No̱mu̱ wa-warru̱ rem-su̱ u-Ru̱ Ishaya ware̱ m-tumb ne̱ o̱ shu̱u̱g u̱ hi-u̱r u̱n, u̱zu̱: <No̱ de̱ ho̱g-du̱ no̱m-u̱ u̱m o̱ u̱t-war, se̱di no̱ za u̱t-nap da; No̱ de̱ u̱t-gwat, se̱di no̱ za u̱t-hyan da.In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15Remu̱ zu̱ jab-su̱ ne̱t-u̱t tun-to̱ rindu̱sse̱, to̱-u̱t u̱n za u̱t-ho̱g da, tu̱msu̱ u̱n ryu̱bu̱kte̱ is-u̱ u̱n, u̱n za u̱t-hyan da. U̱zu̱ iya da, u̱n za hyanu̱g u̱ is-u̱ u̱n no̱m-u̱ u̱m o̱ u̱t-no̱m, u̱n za ho̱k no̱m-u̱ u̱m o̱ waru̱ u̱n, tu̱msu̱ u̱n za nak no̱m-u̱ u̱m o̱ waru̱ u̱n, U̱n za yakke̱ yu̱du̱ u̱t-ba'as u̱n byu̱ru̱n u̱du̱ ri, tu̱msu̱ u̱m za no̱ngu̱ u̱n u-u̱ku̱r.>For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’

16<<No̱ kwu̱ng kom u-Ru̱ remu̱ zu̱ no̱ hyanu̱g no̱m-tu̱ m-shin tu̱ u̱m o̱ u̱t-no̱m, tu̱msu̱ no̱ nak no̱m-tu̱ u̱m o̱ waru̱ no̱.But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

17U̱m o̱ waru̱ no̱ u̱t-nip, a-warru̱ rem-su̱ u-Ru̱ ne̱ u-tát, u̱ ne̱t-tu̱ jab-u̱s so̱-se̱ ne̱, e̱ cwanu̱g e̱ hyan no̱m-u̱ no̱ hyane̱ tu̱msu̱ no̱ hog, e̱ kerge̱ da.For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

18<<Ho̱go̱n nap-mu̱ sha-mu̱ u̱s-rem su̱ wa-ku̱w:Consider, then, the parable of the sower:

19Go̱ i he̱ u̱-do̱m u-fu̱n e̱ o̱ u̱ka ne̱t wu̱ ho̱ge̱ rem-su̱ Faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱, wa gwa'ag u̱r-nu da, faru̱k-u̱ no̱m u̱s-te haan u̱ kos no̱m-u̱ na kawe̱ u̱-me̱ jab-u̱ wa.When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

20Ne̱t-u̱ ho̱ge̱ u̱s-rem za rem wa ku̱b se̱ u̱r-so̱ ne̱, wa o̱ u̱ka go̱ i he̱'e̱ u̱-me̱ be-du̱ u̱t-ta'ar.The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

21Ba shu̱'u̱te̱ u̱zu̱ wa zatte̱ u̱s-gu̱r da wa tumbte̱ sok da. Da da-u̱ swadu̱ u̱r-ko̱b haane̱ wa yage̱ do̱rru̱ u-Ru̱.But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.

22Tu̱msu̱ go̱ i he̱ be-du̱ u̱s-hir, e̱ o̱ u̱ka ne̱t wu̱ ho̱ge̱ rem-su̱ u-Ru̱ wa ku̱b, se̱di da-u̱ no̱m-tu̱ namu̱ jab haane̱ u̱ e̱nk-tu̱ kwu̱m-tu̱ dak-u uno̱, se̱ soos wu̱n, se̱ hoos ya mat-du̱ u̱t-ya.The seed sown among the thorns is the one who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

23Se̱di go̱ i he̱'e̱ u̱ be-u̱r so̱-de̱ e̱ o̱ u̱ka ne̱t wu̱ ho̱ge̱ rem-su̱ u-Ru̱, wa nu̱p se̱. Wa mu̱t u̱t-ya u̱t-ko̱k u-gan ko̱ u̱t-shik u̱t-tu̱t ko̱ u̱r-shik u̱ o̱p u̱ no̱m-u̱ wa kawe̱.>>But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.”

24Ye̱so̱ no̱mu̱ u̱n sha-mu̱ u̱s-rem tu̱msu̱ wa zu̱, <<Faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱ o̱ u̱ka wa-u̱r-to̱m wu̱ kawe̱ go̱ so̱-ye̱ u̱-me̱ tak-u wa, se̱ wa aru̱k.Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25U̱ te̱k m-gyu̱p da kowan o̱ m-roog, hu̱u̱b-u̱ yo̱-o̱ rò haan wa-ku̱w go̱ za so̱-ye̱ u̱-me̱ tak-u rò, se̱ wa aru̱k.But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.

26Da da-u̱ go̱ so̱-ye̱ o̱ u̱t-rogom e̱ no̱m yaag, iya o̱ hen go̱ za so̱-ye̱ rogom ko̱ e̱.When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27<<To̱k-ne̱ bu-u wa-u-tak haan wa waru̱ wu̱n u̱zu̱, <Wa-u-bu, be-du̱ bo̱ nomte̱ ku̱w arkama, u̱m byu̱k-u̱t bambara u̱-me̱. ¿He̱ne̱ bambara rwu̱tu̱n?>The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

28<<Wa zu̱, <Hu̱u̱b-u̱ yo̱-o̱ no̱me̱ se̱.> <<To̱k-ne̱ shit wu̱n u̱zu̱, <¿Bo̱ u̱t-sa it do̱'e̱ it hast bambara?>‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29<<Se̱ wa zu̱ u̱n, <A no̱ hast bambara da, taas u̱du̱ u̱t-has no̱ same̱ u̱ arkama ne̱.‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.

30Yagu̱n e̱ rogom u̱r-kot m-te da-u̱ ket. U̱ da-u o̱ u̱m de̱ waru̱ a-ket ne̱, e̱ hast uro bambara u̱n gag u̱t-gu̱g u̱t-gu̱g e̱ gun u-ra. Se̱di na gun arkama u̱-me̱ u̱r-bya.> >>Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat into my barn.’”

31Tu̱msu̱ Ye̱so̱ no̱mu̱ u̱n sha-mu̱ u̱s-rem u̱zu̱, <<Faru̱k-du̱ u-ru̱ o̱ u̱ka ya-yu̱ mastad yu̱ na kawe̱ u-tak.He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

32Ya zege̱ u̱s-re̱k u̱ te̱k-u̱ go̱ no̱m, se̱di ya ne̱ne̱ ya nom te-u yat-ya u-me̱ u-tak, no cu̱st u̱-do̱m e̱ no̱m u̱t-tu̱ku̱s u̱ do̱m u̱s-fe̱.>>Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”

33Ye̱so̱ sur m-ya u̱n sha-mu̱ u̱s-rem u̱zu̱, <<Faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱ de̱ o̱ u̱ka m-yis mu̱ ne̱ta wake̱ u̱-me̱ hyu̱-m yat-mo̱ kanda hyu̱m-mo̱ hok-u̱t m-yis.>>He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

34Ye̱so̱ waru̱g sha-mu̱ rem-u̱s se̱ u̱s-be̱e̱t u̱-me̱ mo̱ro̱g-du̱ u̱t-ne̱t. Wa waru̱g o̱ko̱n u̱-me̱ u̱n za wa no̱mu̱ u̱n sha-mu̱ u̱s-rem da.Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

35Sin-se̱ u̱s-be̱e̱t u̱ remu̱ na shu̱u̱ste̱ no̱mu̱ wa-warru̱ rem-su̱ u-Ru̱ Ishaya ware̱ u̱zu̱, Sha-mu̱ u̱s-rem mo̱ u̱m do̱te̱ u̱s-rem. Me̱ u̱t-wa u̱ ne̱t-tu̱ nap no̱m-tu̱ o̱ m-yasa, tu̱ du̱gu̱ da-u̱ u̱r-taku̱n du̱ dak-u uno̱.So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”

36Ye̱so̱ yage̱ mo̱ro̱g-du̱ u̱t-ne̱t wa to u̱-me̱ u-bu. A-doru̱ wa haan e̱ zu̱ wu̱n, <<Waru̱ it hi-du̱ sha-mu̱ u̱s-rem su̱ go̱ za so̱-ye̱ u-tak.>>Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

37Se̱ wa shu̱s wa zu̱, <<Wu̱ kawe̱ go̱ so̱-ye̱ wa o̱ Wa'-u̱ Ne̱t.He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38U-tak hen dak-u uno̱ o̱, go̱ so̱-ye̱ hen e̱ o̱ u̱t-ne̱t i o̱ no̱mu̱ u-Ru̱ u̱t-huuk. Go̱ za so̱-ye̱ e̱ o̱ ya'ag-u̱ faru̱k-u̱ no̱m u̱s-te.The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39Tu̱msu̱ hu̱u̱b-u̱ yo̱-o̱ kawe̱ go̱ za so̱-ye̱ wa o̱ faru̱k-u̱ no̱m u̱s-te. Ket hen, o̱ madu̱ uno̱ da-o̱, a-ke̱t-ne̱ a-to̱m u-Ru̱.and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40<<U̱ka ne̱t-tu̱ kargu̱sse̱ go̱ za so̱-ye̱ na doos e̱ u-ra, iya o̱ Ru̱-u̱ do̱te̱ u̱t-shu̱'u̱t ma-du̱ dak-u uno̱.As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.

41Wa'-u̱ Ne̱t de̱ to̱mnu̱ a-to̱m u-Ru̱, e̱ de̱ kargu̱ssu̱ a wadu̱ ne̱t-ne̱ no̱m-du̱ u̱t-ba'as, tu̱msu̱ u̱ a no̱m-du̱ no̱m-u̱t yo̱-to̱ ne̱, e̱ ruut e̱ u̱-me̱ faru̱k-u̱r wa.The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness.

42A-to̱m u-Ru̱ de̱ gwu̱n-du̱ e̱ u̱-me̱ u-ra u̱ m-du̱ng sok. U̱ be-u̱r re̱ ku̱na e̱ do̱te̱ u̱s-kan u̱ ep-mu̱ nin ne̱.And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43U̱ da-u o̱ he̱n a-jab-u̱s so̱-se̱ de̱ no̱m-du̱ m-zu̱n u̱ka u̱r-ho̱ u̱-me̱ faru̱k-du̱ U̱so-u u̱n. Wu̱ o̱tte̱ to̱-tu̱ m-ho̱g yage̱ wa ho̱g.Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

44<<Faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱ de̱ o̱ u̱ka u̱t-kwu̱m tu̱ o̱ m-yasa. Da-u̱ ne̱t-u̱ kume̱ o̱, wa mang u̱t-yase̱. U̱ remu̱ u̱r-so̱ wa de̱ bab no̱m-tu̱ wa o̱tte̱ wa o̱ tak-u o̱.The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.

45<<Tu̱msu̱ Faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱ de̱ o̱ u̱ka wa-u-tu̱rru̱ wu̱ o̱ sa-u̱ taar-tu̱ shik sok.Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

46Da-u̱ wa kume̱ ta'ar-u̱r re̱ du̱ shik, wa de̱ m-ha wa bab no̱m-tu̱ wa o̱tte̱ u̱t-be̱e̱t remu̱ wa oot ta'ar-u̱r re̱.When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.

47<<Tu̱msu̱ Faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱ o̱ u̱ka re̱n-tu̱ masu̱ jan, tu̱ na gune̱ u̱-me̱ m-sa to̱ maas jan ko̱-uyan go̱de̱.Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

48Da-u̱ re̱n-tu̱ shiye̱, a masu̱ jan ne̱ naku̱n u̱ rwu̱u̱n, e̱ shu̱'u̱t e̱ du̱gu̱r jan-u̱ so̱-ye̱ e̱ wo u̱ me̱ u̱r-ko̱o̱r, na azu̱g jan i za so̱-ye̱.When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.

49Iya o̱ do̱te̱ u̱t-shu̱'u̱t u̱ ho̱-du̱ u̱r-vaste̱. Wa-to̱m u-Ru̱ de̱ u̱t-haan wa mo̱t a-jab-u̱s yo̱-se̱ ne̱ u̱ a-jab-u̱s so̱-se̱ ne̱,So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

50wa gun e̱ u̱-me̱ u-ra u̱ m-du̱ng sok, be-du̱ e̱ do̱te̱ u̱s-kan u̱ ep-mu̱ nin ne̱.>>and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51Ye̱so̱ shit u̱n u̱zu̱, <<¿No̱ gwa'ag u̱r-nu a?>> U̱n shu̱s u̱n zu̱, <<U̱.>>Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.

52Se̱ Ye̱so̱ zu̱ u̱n, <<Ko̱-uyan wa-u̱t-ko̱se̱ tu̱ u-bo̱r wu̱ na iise̱ mo̱ttu̱ Faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱, wa o̱ u̱ka wa-u-bu wu̱ gasne̱ kwu̱m-u̱t po-to̱ u̱t-ut ne̱ du̱gu̱ be-du̱ u̱r-cu̱nu̱ wa.>>Then He told them, “For this reason, every scribe who has been discipled in the kingdom of heaven is like a homeowner who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”

53Da-u̱ Ye̱so̱ tase̱ no̱mu̱ u̱n sha-mu̱ u̱s-rem, wa yage̱ be-u̱r re̱.When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.

54Ye̱so̱ haagu̱n u̱-me̱ bo̱-u wa, wa hu̱ no̱mu̱ ne̱t-ne̱ u̱t-ko̱se̱ u̱-me̱ bu-u̱ u̱t-ko̱se̱ u̱ Yahuda-ne̱.

55¿Unwa a wa'-u̱ kahinta-u yaya da? ¿A ino-u rò na zu̱ Me̱ri da? ¿A o̱r-u̱t rò ne̱ o̱ye̱ Yakubu, u̱ Yusuhu u̱ Simo̱n u̱ Yahudas ne̱ da?“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

58Tu̱msu̱ wa no̱ng no̱m-tu̱ m-shin u-tát u̱ku̱n sok da remu̱ ko̱b-du̱ yadu̱ jab-u̱ u̱n.And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
