Matthew 13 (STW)

1Iwe noan rhag raaenin we Jesus a siusaengi iimw we a noa reen meoneoiniun we, iwe a noa mooat tiw wenepeigin.That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

2Nge aeremas towunap kkewe ra itto reen, iwe a teeotae wooan efoarh pwoot a ittae mooat wooan. Nge rhooawe ra iu nee ppiy.Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

3Jesus a fioang awewe ngaeniir towunepaen aegiaeg, iwe a aengaeniir pwe, “Erhai mwaaen a noa pwe epwe noa aeperes faiun foat.And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Igiwe e aeperes fetaen foat kkewe, nge aekkaefai ra ppiungiutiw wenepeigin aan we, nge man aeniaen ra itto anginoa.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Aekkaefai ra ppiungiutiw wooan kaenefai, igiwe ese maniueon ppweon ee. Faiun kkewe ra mwetekkaein pwaechetae, pwe igiwe rese no ppweon ttonoa.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Nge igiwe aenet a ttinitae, nge a aeppwesa noa foat kkewe; pwe igiwe waeran foat kkewe ese nennoan noa, iwe a mwetekkaein mae noa.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Aekkaefai ra ppiungiutiw neeiin irae towfanfan. Iwe irae towfanfan kkewe ra menawtae nge ra fittitae wooar iwe ra maenoa.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.

8Nge aekkaefai ra ppiungiutiw noan ppweon mwamwaai, iwe ra uuwa: aekkaefai ra uwaeni epwiugiuw, aekkaefai woneig, nge aekkaefai eniig.”Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.

9Iwe Jesus a aengaeniir pwe, “Iyo eyor saeningan, epwe rongorong!”He who has ears, let him hear.”

10Iwe rhooan kkayeo kkewe ra itto reen Jesus nge ra aeiineow pwe, “Meeta wo kkepas noan fioangon awewe iga wo kkepas ngaeniir reen?”Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

11Jesus a paniuwaeniir pwe, “Deus a fang ngaenigaemi pwe oawpwe giuneei kkepas mwoanomwoanon minna Mweoiu Naaeng, nge ikka aaemweoi ese ngaenneer.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12Pwe iyo a yor meeta aan nge repwe pwan fang ngaeni iwe epwene igin ssow noa aan, nge iyo ese yor meeta aan nge repwe pwigi saengi mwo nge iwe egius iwe eyor reen.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.

13Faaen aaei kkepas ngaeniir noan fioangon awewe, pwe iga re pipiiy noa nge rese weri, nge repwe aiussaening nge rese rongorong, nge rese pwan metaf reen.This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’

14Iwe a pwae pwe ennet minikkiwe mwaeniaen profeta Isaiah: ‘Oawpwe aiussaening me aiussaening nge oawsoapw metaf; oawpwe pipiiy me pipiiy nge oawsoapw weri.In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15Pwe aar niunniuwaen rhooakkeei nge a pwurh, nge ra pineyinoa saeningeer, nge ra ammaiur noa meseer. Ngaere ese ieei wusuur, ina nge meseer epwe weriwer nge saeningeer epwe rongorong, epwe metaf noan pwunnoor, iwe nge repwe toagun ngaeniaei, nge ngaang ipwe aemaemaewaar tae.’ Ieei minne mwaeniaen Deus.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“Nge aaemi oawwa wenepwu! Pwe mesaemi ra weriwer nge saeningaemi ra rongorong.But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

17Ennetaen, ipwe aengaenigaemi, pwe towunap profeta me aeremas mwamwaai ra mwerhaen weri meeta kka aaemi oawwa weri, nge iir rese weri. Ra pwan mwerhaen rongorong meeta kka aaemi oawwa rongorong, nge iir rese rongorong.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“Iwe oaw aiussaening, pwe oawpwe metaf reen fioangon awewen rhooan foat we.Consider, then, the parable of the sower:

19Rhooa kkewe re rongorong kkepesaen Mweoiu Naaeng, nge rese metefaaegini, ra taeppen rhag faiun foat kkewe re ppiungiutiw wenepeigin aan we. Iwe Man Aenneew we a itto pwigi saengiir minne a toonong nee tipeer.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.

20Nge faiun kkewe re ppiungiutiw wooan kaenefai, ra aeffitaeg ngaeni rhooawe re aetiwa miniwe kkepesaen Deus noan kker reen rhag oaton we ra rongorong.The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

21Nge kkepas we ese waaraar me nee tipeer, iwe ese ssiunaei wooar. Nge aere a yor fitigogo me waeiraes faaen itaen miniwe kkepesaen Deus, ra mwetekkaein fangetae.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.

22Nge faiun kkewe re ppiungiutiw neeiin irae towfanfan, ra aeffitaeg ngaeniir rhooawe re rongorong kkepesaen Deus, nge aiunaeng reen menaw e igina me mwecheniaen pisaegin feoniufan ra oamoapwu miniwe kkepesaen Deus, pwe esoapw mmwenen uuwa.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.

23Nge faiun kkewe re ppiungiutiw wooan ppweon mwamwaai, ra aeffitaeg ngaeniir rhooawe re rongorong miniwe kkepesaen Deus nge ra metaf reen: iwe, ra uuwa, aaemweoi ra uwaeni epwiugiuw, aaemweoi woneig, nge pwan aaemweoi eniig.”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.”

24Jesus a pwan fioangei ngaeniir pwan eew fioangon awewe: “Mweoiu Naaeng a aeffitaeg ngaeni minneen. Erhai mwaaen a aeperes faiun foat gacch noan aan menaai.Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25Noan eew pwongin, igiwe aeremas ra maiur, erhai man aenneew a itto aeperes pwuger mwaaen neeiin maat we, iwe, a noa.But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.

26Oatowe faiun foat kkewe ra menawtae nge ra uuwa, iwe nge a noa pwae noa pwuger mwaaen kkewe.When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27Mwaaen kkewe naiun rhooan engaang ra itto reen nge ra aengaeni pwe, ‘Menap, saapw faiun foat gacch miniwe wofoat noan menaai we oamw?. Nge iya rhag pwuger mwaaen ra noa itto me ee?’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?’

28A paniuwaeniir pwe, ‘Erhai man aenneew a feeori minneei.’ Iwe, rhooawe rhooan engaang ra aeiineow pwe, ‘Wo mwerhaen aeipwe noa wiytae pwuger mwaaen kenaan?’‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29Iwe a paniuwaeniir pwe, ‘Aapw, pwe aere oawpwe wiytae pwuger mwaaen kenaan nge emmwen pwe faiun foat kkewe repwe pwan wisaegtae.‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.

30Oaw nigitiir pwe repwe menaw ppagtae toori oaton ee sipwene gin. Iwe nge ngaang ipwe naaen aengaeni rhooan affeeoriun repwe mmwaen wiytae pwuger mwaaen kkewe, ra geoni fengaenniy nge ra figiir noa. Iwe ra ioni fengaenniy faiun foat kkewe nge ra iseniir nong noan aaei imwaen soko.’ ”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.’”

31Iwe, Jesus a fioangei ngaeniir pwan eew fioangon awewe: “Mweoiu Naaeng a aeffitaeg ngaeni minneen. Erhai mwaaen a pwigi efai faiun mustard a noa foatogi noan aan menaai.He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

32Iiy minne oarosaen mwittigin me neeiir faiun irae, nge igine a menawtae nge iiy minne oarosaen temoag me neeiin irae me noan menaai we. A ssiuwen ngaeni efoarh irae faeregit, pwe man aeniaen repwe itto ffeeor feseer wooan raaen.”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.”

33Iwe, Jesus a fioangei ngaeniir pwan eew fioangon awewe: “Mweoiu Naaeng a aeffitaeg ngaeni minneen. Erhai rhooapwut a pwigi egius yeast nge a nofiti fengaenniy me enuuw pwaecchin fenoawa emas toori aan pwo tae fenoawa we.”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 a aeyae fioangon awewe aan epwe aepesa ngaeniir pwuwaen aeremas oanongaen minikkeei; esoapw aepesa mwo nge epat aegiaeg ngaeniir igine ese aeyae fioangon awewe.Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

35A feeori minneei pwe epwe pwaeritae pwe ennet miniwe profeta a aepesa pwe, “Ngaang ipwe aeyae fioangon awewe iga ipwe kkepas ngaeniir. Ngaang ipwe aepesa ngaeniir minikka rese giuneei saengi rhaepetaen feoniufan.”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.”

36Iwe igiwe Jesus a noa saengi pwuwaen aeremas kkewe nge a toonong noan eew iimw, rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun ra itto reen nge ra aengaeni pwe, “Wopwe aemmetefa ngaenigemaem meeta faaen fioangon awewen fetin we noan menaai we.”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.”

37Jesus a paniuwaeniir pwe, “Mwaaen we aeperes faiun foat kkewe egacch nge ina iiy Naiun Aeremas;He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38menaai we ina feoniufan; faiun foat kkewe regacch ina aeremesaen Mweoiu Naaeng; nge pwuger mwaaen kkewe, ina iir naiun Man Aenneew we;The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39nge man aenneew we e foatogi pwuger mwaaen kkewe ina Saetan. Nge oaton gin nge ina nee soapwonoan feoniufan, nge rhooan affeeoriun gin we ina iir angkenus.and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40Wunuunun pwuger mwaaen kkewe ra ioni fengaenniy nge ra figiir tae wooan aengaet, nge ina wunuunun minne epwe wen nee soapwonoan feoniufan.As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.

43Iwe rhooa mwamwaai repwene ttin taeppen aenet noan Mweoiun Semeer. Iyo eyor saeningan, epwe rongorong!Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

44“Mweoiu Naaeng a pwan weei minneen. Erhai mwaaen enoa rhuungi eew pisaeg kooap egin rhaeng me wooan eew maat. A pwaniuw sefaaen noa nge noan aan kker a noa ameow noa oanongaen minikkena pisaegin, nge a sefaaen noa nge a noa meoni maat we.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“Mweoiun Naaeng a pwan weei minneen. Erhai mwaaen rhooan chuwaai nge e kiukkiutta fetaen faiun usowus kka nning,Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

46nge igine a giuneei efai min igin yor ipitan, a noa ameow noa oanongaen pisaegin nge a meoni faiun usowus we.When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.

47“Mweoiun Naaeng a pwan weei minneen. Aaemweoi rhooan fita ra aekkaerh wow aar wuug noan meoneoiniun we nge ra niyap mesemesaen iig.Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

51Jesus a aeiineeor pwe, “Oaw metefaaegini oanongaen minikkaan?” Ra paniuwaeni pwe, “Ooa.”Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.

52Iwe a aengaeniir pwe, “Ina nge faaen minneei ina oanongeer sinsein anniug kka repwe no pwe rhooan kkayeo noan Mweoiun Naaeng ra taeppen rhag soaw iimw we e oatowowuw pisaeg mini ffeo me min maerhiy me noan soko we aan.”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.”

53Igiwe Jesus a moann aan fioangei fioangon awewe kkewe, a noa saengi pwiuneoi weWhen Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.

But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
