Matthew 13 (ROW)

1Faiꞌ naa boe Yesus kalua mia ume naa, de neu endoꞌ sia dano Galilea suun.That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

2Boe ma atahori hetar reu heo rala E. Ma Ana hene neu endoꞌ sia ofaꞌ sa ata mananafuꞌ sia naa, de nanori. Basa atahori mana sia madꞌa ata rena E.Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

3Ana nanori se naeꞌ nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ hetar. Ana dui nae, “Hambu atahori mana ue-rae sa neu sia osin, de nggari fini.And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Leleꞌ ana nggari fini ra, hambu ruma tudꞌa sia dalaꞌ. Boe ma mbuiꞌ ra rema de bito rendi basa fini ra.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Te fini ruma tudꞌa sia rae fatu-fatuꞌ. Fini a nanumbu losaꞌ a, huu rae isiꞌ mbeiꞌ a.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Te reo-rendu ma, numbuꞌ ra male de meto hendi se. Huu oka nara nda masoꞌ losa rae rala sa.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Hambu fini ruma fai tudꞌa sia uru manggouꞌ. Boe ma uru manggouꞌ a hapi nisa numbuꞌ naa ra.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.

8Te hambu fini ruma tudꞌa sia rae isiꞌ. Fini naa ra ranumbu, ma raꞌamoko losa rabꞌoa. Ruma fee baliꞌ buna-bꞌoa nara dedꞌesin lao telu nulu, ruma losa nee nulu, ma ruma losa natun esa.Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.

9Seka ma ndikiꞌ, na, rena malolole, o!”He who has ears, let him hear.”

10Basa ma Yesus ana mana tungga nara rema de ratane E rae, “Taꞌo bee de Pak nanori atahori hetar naa ra mendiꞌ nekandandaaꞌ?”Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

11Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Huu Lamatualain nau fee nggi mihine parendan, naa de Au ufadꞌe memaꞌ nekendandaaꞌ ia sosoan. Te mete ma atahori laen, na, Au unori endiꞌ a nekendandaaꞌ.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12Huu atahori mana nahine Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ fee ne bau nahine. Te atahori nda mana nau tao afiꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun sa, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ fee ne lili hendi saa fo ana nahineꞌ a.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.

13Au unori se endiꞌ a nekendandaaꞌ a, huu: ‘Ara rita ena, te nda rahine sa. Ara rena ena, te nda tao afiꞌ sa.’This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’

14Ara onaꞌ atahori fo Lamatualain mana ola-olan Yesaya suraꞌ nae, ‘Dei fo ama rena, te ama nda nau mihine sai-sai sa. Dei fo ama mita, te ama nda nau bubꞌuluꞌ saa fo manadadꞌiꞌ naa sa.In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15Huu atahori ia ra rala nara manggateeꞌ ara raꞌambambakeꞌ ndiki nara, ara raꞌapopokeꞌ mata nara. Dadꞌi hela neu fo ndiki nara mbake taꞌoꞌ a naa leo, ma hela neu fo, mata nara poke taꞌoꞌ a naa leo. Hela neu fo Au sudꞌi boe tao malole se, huu ara nda nau tao afiꞌ neu Au sa.’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.’

16Te hei ia ra, nenefee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, o! Huu ama mita no mata mara ena, ma ama rena no ndiki mara ena.But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

17Mimihere Au! Feꞌesaꞌan Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-olan no atahori rala ndoos ra nau rae rita saa fo hei mitaꞌ ia, te ara nda bisa sa. Ara o nau rena saa fo ama renaꞌ a, te ara nda bisa sa.”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.

18Olaꞌ basa ma, Yesus nafadꞌe se nae, ‘Dadꞌi ia na ama rena nekendandaaꞌ ia sosoan.Consider, then, the parable of the sower:

19Fini mana tudꞌa sia dalaꞌ a, naeni atahori mana rena Hara-liiꞌ soꞌal Lamatualain toꞌu parendaꞌ, te ana nda nahine no matetuꞌ sa. Basa ma nitu ra malanggan nema rambas nendi Hara-liiꞌ naa mia atahori naa ralan.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.

20Fini mana tudꞌa sia rae fatu-fatuꞌ a, naeni atahori mana rena Lamatuaꞌ Hara-liin, ma ana simbo no rala nemehoꞌot.The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

21Te Hara-liiꞌ naa ra nda raꞌoka sa. Naa de nda nenembedaꞌ dooꞌ sia atahori naa ralan sa. De leleꞌ atahori laen tao raꞌasususaꞌ e huu simbo Hara-liiꞌ naa ra, ma ana nggari hendi se neuꞌ ena.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.

22No fini mana tudꞌa sia uru manggouꞌ a taladꞌan, onaꞌ atahori mana rena Hara-liiꞌ naa. Te ana sebꞌo-mue noꞌ a ue-tataos mataꞌ-mataꞌ fo nasodꞌa noꞌ a lole-ladꞌaꞌ ra. De basa ue-tataos naa ra, seti hendi Hara-liiꞌ naa mia ralan, de nda naꞌena ngguna saa sa ena boe.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.

23Te fini mana tudꞌa sia rae isiꞌ a, onaꞌ atahori mana pasa ndikin fo simbo Hara-liiꞌ naa, ma tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun. Boe ma ana taoꞌ a dala-dala maloleꞌ, onaꞌ fini mana mabꞌoaꞌ a. Hambu ruma raboa dedꞌesin lao telu nulu, ma ruma lao nee nulu, ma ruma lao natun esa.”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.”

24Yesus nafadꞌe seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ esa fai nae, “Lamatualain toꞌu parendaꞌ naa, onaꞌ atahori esa nggari fini maloleꞌ sia osin.Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25Temba neu ma, basa atahori mana sunggu masambetaꞌ ra. Boe ma atahori deꞌulaka nema, de nggari uru fui dekeꞌ ra risiꞌ osi a.But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.

26Leleꞌ osi a nabꞌuna-nabꞌoa, ma atahori mana tao ues nara rita uru fui a mori belaꞌ no are nggandum sia naa.When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27Boe ma reu rafadꞌe tenu osiꞌ a rae, ‘Papa! Faiꞌ naa hita sela fini maloleꞌ sia papa osin, to? Taꞌo bee de uru a naeꞌ boe?’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?’

28Malangga nataa nae, “Naa, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ ue-tataon.’ Boe ma mana tao ues nara olaꞌ rae, ‘Papa, hai mii miue hendi uru a, do?’‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29Te nataa nae, ‘Afiꞌ! Leleꞌ hei miue uru a, neꞌo hita sela-nggari malole nara nenelea hendiꞌ boe.‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.

30Hela se mori belaꞌ losa fula-fai etu-oruꞌ a losa. Leleꞌ naa, dei fo au ufadꞌe atahori mana tao ues ra ae, “Ama miꞌidꞌuru miꞌihuluꞌ uru fui ra dei. Ma futu se mbumbutu-mbumbutuꞌ, fo dedꞌee hendi se. Basa naa midꞌudꞌuru buna-bꞌoa maloleꞌ ra, fo mbedꞌaꞌ nisiꞌ soka-poleꞌ rala.” ’ ”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.’”

31Basa ma, Yesus olaꞌ fai nae, “Au fee seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ esa fai, fo ama bisa mihine taꞌo bee fo Lamatualain dadꞌi Maneꞌ soaꞌ neu atahori hetar. Fefeun atahori nara onaꞌ deke anadikiꞌ sa fo atahori sela sia osin rala.He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

32Mae dekeꞌ naa, anadikiꞌ seli, te mete ma mori nema, na, dadꞌi hau huu ine monaeꞌ sia osi. Sambe mbuiꞌ ra rema randuna sia dana nara.”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.”

33Yesus fee seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ esa fai nae, “Lamatualain atahorin, onaꞌ bibꞌit roti fo inaꞌ sa haꞌi fo sambor no tarigu sak esa. Boe ma roti a reis losa naꞌamoko, huu bibꞌit roti mbei anaꞌ naa.”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.”

34Yesus nanori atahori hetar nendiꞌ dudꞌuit mataꞌ hetar. Ana olaꞌ nendiꞌ a nekendandaaꞌ.Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

35Ana nanori taꞌo naa tungga saa fo Lamatualain mana ola-olan suraꞌ memaꞌ ena nae, “Dei fo Au unori endiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ. Dei fo Au ufadꞌe dala-dalaꞌ fo atahori nda feꞌe rene rita sa, eniꞌ a mia Lamatualain tao raefafoꞌ ia losa ia nema.”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.”

36Basa ma, Yesus lao hela atahori hetar naa ra, de baliꞌ ume neu. Boe ma ana mana tungga nara rema, de roꞌe tulun sia E rae, “Amaꞌ Tulun mufadꞌe hai nekendandaaꞌ soꞌal uru mana moriaoꞌ a sosoan dei!”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.”

37Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Atahori mana nggari fini maloleꞌ naa, naeni Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia.He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38Ma osi naa, naeni raefafoꞌ ia. Fini maloleꞌ naa, naeni atahori mana dadꞌi Lamatualain bobꞌonggin ena. No uru mana mori aoꞌ naa, naeni nitu ra malanggan atahori nara.The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39Boe ma, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ mana nema nggari fini uru naa, naeni nitu ra malangga monaen. Ma fai etu-oruꞌ naa, naeni fai mateteꞌen. Atahori mana etu-oru buna-bꞌoaꞌ naa, naeni Lamatualain ate nara mia sorga.and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40Leleꞌ fai mateteꞌen, ara radꞌuru rala uru ra fo hotu hendi se.As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.

41Huu Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, dei fo haitua ate mana sia sorga rema. Dei fo ara reu radꞌuru basa atahori nda mana tungga Lamatuaꞌ parendan sa. Ma ara reu radꞌuru rala basa atahori mana neu kokoe-nanasi atahori laen ra, fo ara nda tungga Lamatuaꞌ parendan sa.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.

42Dei fo ara mbia hendi basa atahori deꞌulakaꞌ ra risiꞌ ai naraka rala reu, onaꞌ uru nenehotu hendiꞌ naa. Sia naa, dei fo ara feꞌe na ramedꞌa doidꞌosoꞌ ritaꞌ mamate nara, ma nggae eiei nda raloeꞌ sa.And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43Te atahori mana nasodꞌa no ndoos tungga Lamatualain hihii-nanaun, dei fo ara leo rakandoo ro Ama Maneꞌ sia sorga. Sia naa, ara raronda onaꞌ relo a. Naa! Atahori mana nau nahine Au, pasa ndikim malolole, o!”Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

44Yesus fee seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ esa fai nae, “Atahori mana nau nahine soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ toꞌu parendan, onaꞌ atahori mana nau hambu sudꞌiꞌ-saa mafelit, fo atahori funiꞌ mia rae rala. Atahori naa nema ali, ma ana hambu sudiꞌ-saa naa ra sia naa, naa de namahoꞌo nala seli. Basa ma, ana nasambombori baliꞌ sudiꞌ-saa naa. Boe ma ana baliꞌ lailai, de neu seo hendi basa hata-heton. De ana neu hasa nala rae naa, fo eni bisa hambu sudꞌi-saa mafelit naa.”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.

45Yesus fee seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ fai nae, “Atahori mana nae nahine Lamatuaꞌ toꞌu parendan naa, onaꞌ atahori mana danggan esa nau hambu mutiara mafelit. De ana sangga-sanggaꞌ mutiara fo nae hasa.Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

46Leleꞌ ana hambu mutiara sa meulaun seli, ma ana baliꞌ neuꞌ ena, de neu seo hendi basa hata-heton. Basa ma ana neu hasa mutiara naa, fo eni bisa hambu e.”When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.

47Yesus fee seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ nae, “Lamatualain toꞌu parendan, onaꞌ mana puꞌa ra reu mboꞌi puꞌat esa sia dano. Boe ma puꞌat naa hambu uꞌu mataꞌ-mataꞌ.Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

48Leleꞌ puꞌat naa sofeꞌ no uꞌu, ma mana puꞌa ra reu haꞌi rala se, fo rendi dano suun neu. Boe ma ara endoꞌ de raisi uꞌu mia puꞌat. Uꞌu maloleꞌ ra, ara tao nisiꞌ rela rala neu. Te uꞌu nda maloleꞌ sa na ara nggari hendi se.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.

49Onaꞌ naa boe, neu fai mateteꞌen. Dei fo Lamatualain ate nara rema mia sorga, fo bingga-banggi atahori deꞌulakaꞌ mia atahori rala ndoos ra.So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

50Dei fo ara nggari basa atahori deꞌulaka ra ai naraka rala reu. Dei fo ara ramedꞌa doidꞌosoꞌ manaseliꞌ sia naa, ma nggae eiei nda raloeꞌ sa,”and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51Olaꞌ basa taꞌo naa, ma Yesus natane se nae, “Hei mihine basa saa fo Au olaꞌ faꞌ ia ra, do? Ara rataa rae, “Mihine, Lamatuaꞌ!”Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.

52Boe ma Yesus nataa baliꞌ se nae, “Malole! Huu meser agama esa-esaꞌ mana tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ nanori Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan fo mana suraꞌ eniꞌ mia dalahulun, ma toꞌu nahereꞌ Au nenori ngga oras ia, na, ana onaꞌ tenu umeꞌ sa soaꞌ a soi nggudꞌan, fo natudꞌu hata-heto mbaran, naꞌabꞌue no hata-heto feun.”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.”

53Leleꞌ Yesus nanori basa atahori nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ ma, Ana lao hela mamanaꞌ naa,When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.

54de lao nisiꞌ kambon. Sia naa, Ana ume hule-oꞌeꞌ rala neu de nanori atahori ra. Basa atahori mana rena E, titindindiiꞌ a. Ara ola-olaꞌ rae, “Awii! Atahori ia mahinen dei! Ana neu nanori mia bee ia? Taꞌo bee de Ana tao nalaꞌ manadadꞌiꞌ naa ra?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.

55Tao-tao te Eni tukan hau a Anan. Hita tahine maloleꞌ inan Maria; ma odꞌi nara, naeni Yakobis, Yusuf, Yudas no Simon.“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

56Hita o tahine feto nara boe, huu basa nggita leo sia kamboꞌ sa na! Dadꞌi Ana hambu mahineꞌ naa, mia bee nema fai? Boe ma Ana hambu koasa manaseliꞌ naa, mia seka fai?”Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”

57Naa de ara ramanasa losa nda nau rae rena E sa ena. Te Yesus nafadꞌe nae, “Memaꞌ tebꞌe! Sia mamanaꞌ laen, atahori ra hiiꞌ a fee hadꞌa-hormat neu Lamatualain mana ola-ola nara. Te sia kambon ma ume isi nara, atahori ra nda nau fee hadꞌa-hormat neu e sa.”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.”

58Huu rala nara manggateeꞌ de ara nda nau ramahere Yesus sa, naa de Ana nda tao manadadꞌi hetar sia naa sa.And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
