Matthew 13 (KOS)

1In len sacna, Jesus el fahsr liki lohm sac ac som nu sisken lulu uh, ac muta in luti.That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

2Un mwet su tuku raunella uh arulana pus, ouinge el sroang nu fin oak soko ac muta fac, ac mwet uh tu finmes uh.Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

3El orekmakin kas in pupulyuk in luti nu selos ke ma puspis. El fahk, “Mwet se som in taknelik.And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Ke el sisalik fita uh nu fin fohk uh, kutu fita uh putatla nu sisken inkanek inima uh, ac won uh tuku kangla.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Kutu putatla nu yen eoteot, yen minini fohk fac. Tia paht na fita uh srunak.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Tusruktu ke faht uh takak, sacn ma srunak uh folla ac uli, ke sripen srikla fohk nu ke oka.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Kutu fita uh putatla inmasrlon kokul uh, su kapak ac kupoiya sacn ma kapak we.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.

8A kutu fita uh putatla nu fin fohk wo, ac kapak ac isus fahko puspis: kutu pacl siofok, kutu pacl onngoul, ac kutu pacl tolngoul.”Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.

9Ac Jesus el fahk, “Ke ma inge kowos porongo, fin oasr srewos!”He who has ears, let him hear.”

10Na mwet tumal lutlut elos kalukyang nu yurin Jesus ac siyuk sel, “Efu ku kom orekmakin kas in pupulyuk ke kom sramsram nu sin mwet uh?”Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

11Ac Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Etauk ke ma lukma lun Tokosrai lun kusrao uh itukot nu suwos, ac tia nu selos.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12El su oasr etauk yoro ac fah itukyang tuh in arulana yohk liki meet; a el su wangin etauk yoro, etauk srisrik su oasr yorol ac fah itukla lukel.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.

13Sripa se sis nga orekmakin kas in pupulyuk nu selos uh pa, elos liye a tiana kalem kac, ac elos lohng a tiana akilen.This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’

14Ouinge mwet inge elos akpwayeye kas in palu lal Isaiah, su fahk: ‘Mwet inge ac fah lohng na lohng, a tia kalem kac; Elos ac fah liye na liye, a tiana akilenak,In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15Mweyen nunak lalos uh upa, Ac elos fonosya insraclos, Ac kaliya mutalos. Funu tia ouinge mutalos lukun liye, Ac sraclos lukun lohng, Ac nunkalos lukun kalem kac, Ac elos lukun forma nu sik, Tuh nga in akkeyalosla. Ouinge God El fahk.’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“A kowos arulana insewowo, mweyen motowos liye, ac srewos lohng.But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

17Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos lah mwet palu puspis ac mwet lun God puspis kena liye ma kowos liye ac lohng ma kowos lohng, a elos tiana.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“Ke ma inge, kowos porongo ac lutlut ke kalmen pupulyuk ke mwet taknelik.Consider, then, the parable of the sower:

19Elos su lohng pweng ke tokosrai ac tia kalem kac, elos oana fita ma putatla nu sisken inkanek inima uh. El su Koluklana el tuku ac tulakunla fita se su yoki insialos.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.

20Ac kalmen fita ma putatla yen eoteot, ma nu selos su engan in eis pweng wo ke elos tufahna lohng.The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

21Tusruktu, tiana tili nu in elos, ke ma inge ac tiana oan paht in elos. Na mwe lokoalok ku ma upa fin tuku nu selos ke sripen pweng sac, elos sa na in fuhleak.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.

22Ac fita su putatla inmasrlon kokul uh el oana elos su lohng pweng uh, tusruktu elya lun faclu ac lungse lalos nu ke mwe kasrup uh kupoiya pweng sac, na tiana isus fahko.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.

23Ac fita ma yoki in fohk wo uh, elos pa mwet su lohng kas inge ac kalem kac, na elos isus fahko puspis — kutu siofok, kutu onngoul, ac kutu tolngoul.”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.”

24Na Jesus el sifilpa fahk nu selos sie pac pupulyuk: “Tokosrai lun kusrao ouinge: Sie mwet el yukwiya fita wo in ima lal.Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25Sie fong ah ke mwet nukewa motulla, mwet lokoalok se tuku ac yukwiya mah koluk inmasrlon wheat uh, na el som.But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.

26Ke sacn uh kapak ac mutawauk in sikyak fahko, na mah koluk uh sikyak pac.When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27Na mwet kulansap lun leum sac tuku nu yorol ac fahk, ‘Leum se, fita wo mukena pa kom tuh yukwiya ke ima se lom ah. Na mah koluk ke ima sac tuku ya me?’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?’

28Ac leum sac fahk, ‘Kalem lah mwet lokoalok se pa oru ma inge uh.’ Na elos siyuk sel, ‘Kom lungse kut in som fusak mah koluk uh?’‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29Ac el fahk, ‘Mo, mweyen kowos fin fis mah koluk uh, sahp kowos ac tuh fusak pac kutu sin sacn wo uh.‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.

30Lela wheat ac mah koluk uh in tukenina kap nwe ke na pacl in kosrani, na nga fah fahk mwet telani uh in fusak mah koluk uh meet, loseni nu sie ac esukak. Na elos fah orani wheat uh ac filiya in lohm in filma uh.’”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.’”

31Jesus el sifilpa fahkak nu selos sie pac pupulyuk. “Tokosrai lun kusrao ouinge: Mwet se el eis sie fiten mustard ac yukwiya in ima lal.He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

32Pa inge fita se ma srik oemeet, tusruktu el fin kapak el pa yohk oemeet ke sacn uh, na orala soko sak lulap, ac won yen engyeng uh tuku orala ahng lalos ke lesak uh.”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.”

33Jesus el sifilpa fahkak sie pupulyuk nu selos: “Tokosrai lun kusrao uh oana luman mwe pulol uh, ma sie mutan el sang kulamiseak ke sie pak in flao, na tok nufonna pak sac ac pulolak.”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.”

34Jesus el orekmakin kas in pululyuk in fahkak ma inge nukewa nu sin un mwet uh. El tia fahk kutena ma nu selos el fin tia orekmakin kas in pupulyuk.Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

35El oru ouinge in akpwayei kas lun mwet palu su fahk, “Nga ac fah orekmakin pupulyuk ke nga sramsram nu selos; Nga fah fahkak nu selos ma su tia eteyuk oe ke orekla faclu ah me.”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.”

36Ke Jesus el fahsr liki un mwet sac ac utyak nu in lohm uh, mwet tumal lutlut elos tuku nu yorol ac fahk, “Aketeya nu sesr lah mea kalmen pupulyuk ke mah koluk inima uh.”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.”

37Ac Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Mwet taknelik fita wo sac pa Wen nutin Mwet;He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38ac ima sac pa faclu; ac fita wo uh pa mwet lun Tokosrai lun kusrao uh; mah koluk uh pa mwet su ma lun el su Koluklana;The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39ac mwet lokoalok se ma taknelik fita koluk uh pa Devil. Pacl in kosrani uh pa saflaiyen faclu, ac mwet kosrani uh pa lipufan.and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40Oana ke mah koluk uh ac orekeni ac isisyak in e uh, pa inge luman ma ac sikyak ke saflaiyen faclu.As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.

41Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah supwalik lipufan lal tuh elos in orani mwet nukewa in Tokosrai lal su oru ma koluk, oayapa elos su kolla mwet uh in oru ma koluk.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.

42Ac elos ac fah siselosyang nu in funyu in e, yen ma elos ac fah tung, keok ac ngalis inwihselos.And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43Na mwet lun God elos ac fah saromrom oana faht uh in Tokosrai lun Papa tumalos. Kowos porongo ma inge, fin oasr srewos.Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

44“Tokosrai lun kusrao ouinge: Sie mwet el konauk sie ma saok wikinyukla in ima se. El sifilpa afinya, ac som ac kukakunla ma lal nukewa, na el folokla ac molela ima sac.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“Ac Tokosrai lun kusrao ouinge pac: Sie mwet kuka el forfor ac sukok pearl saok,Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

46ac ke el konauk sie pearl ma arulana yohk molo, el som kitala ma lal nukewa ac molela pearl saok sac.When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.

47“Tokosrai lun kusrao ouinge pac: Kutu mwet patur elos sisla nwek lalos nu in lulu uh, ac sruokya kain ik puspis.Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

48Ke nwek sac sessesla ke ik, elos amakunak nu finmes uh, ac sraclik ik uh: ik ma wo uh itukyang nu in mwe neinyuk uh, a ma koluk uh sisila.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.

49Ac fah ouinge ke safliyen faclu. Lipufan uh ac mau fahsrelik ac orani mwet koluk liki inmasrlon mwet wo,So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

50ac siselosyang nu in e uh, yen ma elos ac fah tung ke keok ac ngalis in wihselos we.”and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51Na Jesus el siyuk selos, “Ya kowos etu kalmen ma inge?” Ac elos topuk, “Aok.”Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.

52Na el fahk nu selos, “Kalmen ma inge pa mwet nukewa su mwet luti ke Ma Sap uh su ekla nu ke mwet lutlut in Tokosrai lun kusrao, elos oana sie mwet ma oasr sie lohm sel, ac el eisla ma sasu ac ma mah liki nien filma lal.”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.”

53Tukun Jesus el fahkak pupulyuk inge, na el som liki acn sac,When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.

54ac folokla nu in acn sel sifacna. El luti in iwen lolngok selos, ac elos su lohng luti lal elos arulana fwefela. Ac elos siyuk, “El eis ya me kain in lalmwetmet inge, ac mwenmen ma el oru inge?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.

55Ya el tia ma nutin mwet kamtu sac? Ya tia nina kial pa Mary, ac tia ma wial pa James, Joseph, Simon ac Judas?“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

56Ya tamtael lal nukewa elos tia oasr pac inge? Na el eis ma inge oya me?”Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”

57Ke ma inge elos tiana lohang nu sel Jesus. Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Mwet palu se el akfulatyeyuk in acn nukewa sayen acn sel sifacna ac sin sou lal sifacna.”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.”

58Tiana pus mwenmen el oru in acn sac mweyen wangin lulalfongi lalos.And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
