Matthew 13 (IDC)

1Ka awii ra ni iYesu kunu nga kidẹ ọna ki cica ka anyu ọghọng.That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

2Ikir bajiya ba curu ki ghimi nga, ki sa na ghila nga idẹ ọgbọlọ ki cica. Ikir bajiya nga ba tara ka anyu ọghọng.Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

3Aba tẹri bọ uma na pam ni ighang upii, si, “Aghọ wuu kyaa kọ pila.And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Asọ ta ighọ ni, ice kpaa kọ utra, ni anurunu ba ki ba la yọ kọ.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Ice ighọ kpaa kọ ọka atii ni ba ẹrẹbọ ya nagigang, iva mii kaisa ka ẹrẹbọ shiwu ikyuu ba,Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6ọnọng ya ta ni, aba ghau yọ ki hwiya yọ ka akang bọ shi yọ akyuu ba.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Ice kpaa ka ọka umani akara shiya, akara ba fọnọ ki la ẹrẹkyuọ bọ.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.

8Ice ighọ kpaa ka ẹrẹbọ ididuma ki sa ikii ajilaji, ishishi itin, ishishi itai ki cẹri imumani apila.Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.

9Ta ni aghọ shi na atọ kọọ.”He who has ears, let him hear.”

10Atina iYesu va ba ki ba ghulu nga si, “Ikẹmbọ sa ni inga sọ pii ni bọ ni ighang upii?”Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

11Aba yira bọ si, “Inu ni, ama nọ uye ẹghẹrẹghẹmẹ inga ẹrẹgọm aYaya, ibọ ni, ata ma bọ wọ ba.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12Ka aghọ shi ni ima ni, aka khimi nga kọ, ka apeni na pam, ni aghọmani ashi ni yọ ba ni, aki kara anọ imumani ashi ni yọ kọ.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.

13Imumani isa ni imẹ sọ pii ni bọ ni ighang upii yẹ. “‘Aka kọọ, na aka kpẹlẹ bọ ba, aka kyoo, na aka nu bọ ba na akpili bọ ba.’This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’

14Kindii ni, amọ aghaghẹ aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng Ishaya hwura kaya akwyuẹ bọ si, “‘Inu ki ka kọọ, ni inu ta ki kpẹlẹ nọ ba, inu ki ka kyoo, ni inu ta ki kpẹlẹ nọ ba.In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15Ka ajiya nga shi na ikwyi umom, ni atọ bọ ka ta akọọ yọ ba, akọ yuru ica bọ ya, iba kindii ba ni, ata kọ nu ni ica bọ, ka aba kọọ na atọ bọ, ka aba kpẹlẹ kidẹ ikwyi bọ, ka vuu ba ukushi mi ki imẹ ma bọ ọkyuọ.’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.’

16Ica nu shi na anyu adaduma ki ika nu, kina atọ nu, ka aka kọọ.But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

17Aipang ni isọ tẹri nu, aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng kina agha uju aipang na pam wang nu imumani inu sọ kyoo, ni ata nu bọ ba, ka aba kọọ imumani inu hwiri, ni ata kọọ bọ ba.”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“Inu kọ imumani ighang upii aghọ wuu sọ nyeniConsider, then, the parable of the sower:

19Insi ajiya kọọ ila ẹrẹgọm na ata kpẹlẹ nga ba ni, Ishẹẹ ka ba ki ba kara imumani apila kidẹ ikwyi nga. Ighọ na apila kọ utra yẹ.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.

20Ighọ ni ikpaa ka ọka atii ni, iyọ kọọ upii ki yira kidẹ akyua ni ikwyifu,The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

21ni ishi yọ ni akang ba, ika mọr kidẹ anọ akyua, insi umẹni kina ọlọ ba kaya upii ni, kaisa aka waa nọ utumu.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.

22Ighọ ni apila kidẹ akara ni, iyọ shi aghọ ni akọọ upii, ni uduma asing kọnọ uyoo upeni tulu nga ki kla nga ọfọnọ wọ ka ama ikọlọ.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.

23Ighọ mani ikpaa ka ẹrẹbọ ididuma ni, anga shi aghọmani akọọ upii ki kpẹlẹ wu. A ju utina wu ki ma ikọlọ, ice ajilaji, ice ishi-shitin, ice ishi-shitai.”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.”

24Aba ma bọ ice ighang upii si, “Aki mra ẹrẹgọm ayaya na ajiya umani apila ighọ ididuma kidẹ ija nga,Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25akyua ni ajiya sọ moo ni asho nga ba ki ba pila ọbọ kidẹ ija alkama na asa sang nga.But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.

26Imila ya sang na pipar ni, ọbọ ba kọ sang.When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27Ni agira ate ọna ba ki ba tẹri nga si, ‘Aghọ ọna, ba ighọ ididuma yọ ni ingọ pila kidẹ ija ngọ ba?’ A ju na nyi ni ọbọ mii ya kidẹ?’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?’

28Aba ju bọ si, ‘Aghọ ju irisho ni imẹ nga ju udii!’ Agira nga ba ju si, “Ingọ wang si ayọ ya yẹẹ ọbọ kọ?‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29Ni aba ju si, ‘Kayi, ki inu bọ wang uwuru ọbọ ni inu ki wuru kina alkama.‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.

30Ya bọ ya ka afọnọ nadidu ka afuma akyua ucuru, akyua ucuru ni, imẹ ki tẹri aghọ ucuru ka acuru ọbọ ka alolu bọ, ka ta ugha wu, ni asa curu alkama ka asa kidẹ na afọ mi.’”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.’”

31Aba ma bọ ice ighang upii si, “Ẹrẹgọm ayaya shi kini ikir ikpo umani ace ajiya pila kidẹ ija nga.He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

32Iyọ cẹẹ nọ ọzọzi kidẹ ighọ nadidu, insi ifọnu ni, ika cẹẹ uma umani apila kidẹ ija ki ba ọshẹ ọghọghẹ, ni anurunu ayaya ka ta asọọ bọ ya kaya aga nga.”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.”

33Aba tẹri bọ ice ighang upii. “Ẹrẹgọm ayaya shi kini uyisti umani ace ayiri ki zọọ na ima umra ugọ alkama iritai ki ta kọ umani ugọ kpẹnẹ uyisti ni.”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.”

34Nadidu uma ri ni, iYesu tẹri ikir bajiya ni ighang upii; Ata tẹri bọ ice ima ba ighang upii ba.Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

35Udii ni, ka ahwura upii ni aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng tẹri wọ, “Imẹ ki yẹmi anyu mi ni ighang upii; Imẹ ki tẹri imumani ashọ wọ kọ kpaa ka akyua na akeri asing kọ.”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.”

36IYesu ba sang nga kidẹ ikir bajiya ki kyaa aca. Ni atina nga ba ukushi nga, ni asi, “Tẹri ayọ imumani ighang upii ọbọ kidẹ ija sọ nyeni.”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.”

37Aba yira bọ si, “Aghọmani apila ighọ ididuma nga shi Anọ Ajiya.He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38Ija kọ shi asing, ni ighọ ididuma yọ shi ẹrẹgọm Onọng. Ọbọ bọ shi anọ ishẹẹ,The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39ni asho mani apila nga shi ishẹẹ. Ucuru imila wọ sọ usang asing, aghọ ucuru bọ shi atuma Ọnọng.and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40Kọnọ umani aka curu ọbọ ki ta ugha wọ ni, kindii wọ ni uki shi wọ kọ usang asing.As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.

41Anọ Ajiya ki tuma atuma Ọnọng, ni aki curu nadidu uma umani uka sa uvulu, kina aghọ ju uma ububi, ka a woo bọ kini ọbọng bọ ni ki ẹrẹgọm nga,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.

42ka fẹni bọ kidẹ ugha ọlọ nagigang. Kọ ukadu wu ni aki ci na ghula ayiri.And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43Ni agha aipang ki ma uyeri kini ọnọng utaa ni kidẹ ẹrẹgọm Ate bọ. Taani aghọ shi na atọ kọọ kọ.Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

44“Ẹrẹgọm Ayaya shi kini upeni na ashọ kidẹ ija ni, unga umani ace ajiya peni ki ba khimi ushọ wọ. Ni ikwyifu na aba ya gbara uma umani ashi ni bọ nadidu ki ya ghẹẹ ija wọ.”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“Kakyakyua ri, ẹrẹgọm ayaya shi kini aghọ gheli na agbara kina aghọ wang atii adaduma ni.Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

46Aya peni utii udọdọma uye ni, aba ya gbara nadidu imumani ashi ni yọ ki ya ghẹẹ wọ.”When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.

47“Kakyakyua ri, ẹrẹgọm ayaya shi kini isha ọhwiri itagbo na a fẹni kidẹ ọghọng ki hwiri kwiligba ighọ itagbo ni.Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

48Iya tii ni, ajiya waa ki shii kaya asing ki hwiya ididuma ki sa kidẹ ọkọọ na ashi naa ibibi wọ.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.

49Kindii wu ni uki shi wu kọ usang asing. Atuma Ọnọng ki kunu ka aba kau agha akakiya kidẹ agha aipang.So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

50Ni asa fẹni agha akakiya kidẹ ugha ọlọ nagigang umani aki ci na aghula ayiri.and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51“Inu kpẹlẹ Uma ri nadidu?” Aba yira nga si, “Ẹẹ.”Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.

52Aba ju bọ si, “Nadidu aghọmẹẹ umẹẹ iMusa umani apeni umẹẹ kaya ẹrẹgọm ayaya ni, ashi kini akọr ọna nga ni, aghọ umani aba na upeni ọsọsa nga kina ọtọtang nga ka uka ukyuru uma nga.”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.”

53IYesu ya kpẹẹ nadidu ighang upii ni, aba sang nga kọ ukadu.When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.

54Na aya ba ifọng bọ ni aba mẹẹ bọ kidẹ ọkọ takwyuẹ aYahudawa, aba wo ica, na tẹri si, “Abi wu ni ajiya ri peni uye ukyuu ri wọ kina akyuọ uju uma usa uwo ica?Coming to His hometown, He taught the people in their synagogue, and they were astonished. “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?” they asked.

55Anọ ikafinta ra nga ba? Ayuru nga ngaa ni aka yọrọ si iMaryamu ba? Anayuru nga bọ shi iYakubu, kina iYusufu, kina iSiman, kina iYahuda ba?“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

56Afọọ nga nadidu bọ shi kina ayọ ri ba? Abi wọ ni ajiya ri peni nadidu uma ri kọ?”Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”

57Aba kọọ anaa ni ngaa. IYesu ba ju bọ si, “Aka tọrọ bọ aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng ba inbasi ki ifọng nga kina aca nga ba ni.”And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

58Ata ba ju nga uma usa uwo ica kọ ukadu ba ka ata ma bọ aipang ba.And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
