Matthew 13 (TDX)

1Nienga i anjombay amy àndro zay t’i Iesoà, le niambesatse añ’olon-driake eoThat same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

2vaho niropadropaha’ i lahialeñey ampara t’ie nipay lakañe hijoña’e; le nizorazora an-tamboho ey i lahialeñey,Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

3vaho nitaroña’e raha maro am-pandrazañañe ami’ty hoe: Teo t’indaty nañampitso boak’ añ’ anjomba ao handrarake tabiry;And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Ie nandrarake, nirarake añ’olon-dalañe ey ty ila’e, f’ie nitsimòhe’ o voroñeo.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Nirarake am-batovatoeñe ey ty ila’e, fe natify i taney, ie nipitsike le niforejeje amy te tsy nilaleke i taney,Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6ie nafana-voho i andro ambone eiy, le nimae naho maike amy t’ie tsy amam-bahatse.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Teo ty nirarake an-kisatse ao. Nitombo o hisatseo nañaloke aze.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.

8Ty ila’e nipoke an-tane soa vaho namokatse naho nitombo, zato ty valoha’e, enem-polo ty faharoe, naho telo-polo ty fahatelo.Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.

9Ze aman-dravembia hijanjiña’e, Mijanjiña!He who has ears, let him hear.”

10Nimb’eo o mpiama’eo nanao ty hoe ama’e: Akore te itaroña’o an-drazan-drehake?Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

11Hoe re: Natolotse ama’areo ty hahafohiñe i Fifehean-dikerañey, fa tsy am’iareo.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12Ze manañe, ty ho tompeañe; fa ze tsy manañe, le haloly ama’e ndra ty minjilite’e habohe’e.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.

13Zao ty itaroñako am-pandrazañañe: miisake iereo fe tsy mahaisake; mijanjiñe fe tsy mahajanjiñe,This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’

14hañenefañe i nampisaontsieñe Isaia mpitoky, ty hoe: Ie hijanjiñe, le hahajanjiñe fe tsy mb’ia haharendreke, Ie misamba le hahaisake fe le lia’e tsy hahaoniñe,In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15fa gañe ty arofo’ ondaty retoa, naho giñe o ravembia’eo, fa nikipeke o fihaino’eo; ke hahaisake am-pihaino, naho hahajanjiñ’ an-dravembia, he hahatsikarake añ’arofo, naho himpoly hijangañako.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.’

16Fe haha o fihaino’ areo mahaisakeo naho o ravembia’ areo mahajanjiñeo.But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

17Eka! to t’itaroñako te maro ty mpitoky naho ty vañoñe nisalala hahaisake o trea’ areoo fe tsy nahaisake, vaho hijanjiñe o tsanoñe’ areoo, fe tsy nahajanjiñe.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.

18Inao arè ty fampalangesañe i mpandrarakey.Consider, then, the parable of the sower:

19I Ana’ Ondatiy ro mpandrarake. I tabiry nirarake añ’olon-dalañey le ze hene mijanjiñe ty tsara’ i fifehean-dikerañey fe tsy maharendreke; pok’ eo ty mpañinje mitavañe an-tro’e ze nararake ama’e ao iaby, izay i tabiry nipoke an-dalañe eo.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.

20I nipoke am-batovatoeñey, le ty mijanjiñe i tsaray naho mandrambe aze an-kaehake aniany,The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

21f’ie tsy amam-bahatse mbore aliheñe; naho ifetsaha’ ty hasotriañe tsy ampe vaho ty hasosorañe, le ampandikofe’ i mpañìnjey ty añ’arofo’e ao.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.

22I nirarake amo hisatseoy le ty mahajanjiñe i tsaray, f’ie mipay hanontoñe vara bey, le ampañaliñoe’ i mpañinjey aze i tsaran’ Añaharey vaho tsy mamoa.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.

23I nirarake an-tane soay, le ty mahajanjiñe i tsaray naho maharendreke vaho mamoa, toe manao sata soa; hanombo zato ty valoha’e, naho enem-polo ty faharoe, vaho telo-polo ty faha-telo.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.”

24Nitaroña’e oha-drehake tovo’e: Hambañe amy t’indaty mitongy doria soa an-tete’e ao i fifehean-dikerañey.Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25Ie nirotse ondatio, pok’eo i rafelahi’ey nandrarake vinda, an-tetem-bare’e ao vaho nibioñe.But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.

26Ie nitovoañe vaho ho niterake i varey le niboake ka i vinday.When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27Niheo mb’amy tompo-tetekey o mpitoro’eo nanao ty hoe: O talè, tsy doria soa hao ty narara’o? Boak’ aia arè o vindao?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?’

28Hoe ty natoi’e: Satan-drafelahiko izay. Le hoe ty asa’ o mpitoro’eo: Ho vorote’ay o vindao!‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29Aiy! hoe re, hera hombota’ areo o vareo.‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.

30Angao hey hiharo hitiry ampara’ te toly ty sabo, ie amy fitatahañey le ho volañeko amo mpanatakeo, ty hoe, Atontono hey o vindao naho feheo am-pitoboroñañe horoañe, vaho atontoño an-driha ao o vareo.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.’”

31Intoy ka ty nandrazaña’e: I fifehean-dikerañey le añoharañe ami’ ty voa-nonoke nindese’ t’indaty vaho narara’e an-tete’e ao.He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

32Ie ty kede amy ze hene añañe an-kodoboñe ao, fa ie mitiry, ro jabajaba amo rongoñeo vaho mbe mionjoñe ho hatae abo, kanao mitsoloke amo tsampa’eo o voron-dikerañeo.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.”

33Nitaroñe’e añ’ohatse ka ty hoe: I fifehean-dikerañey, le manahake ty lalivay19 najo’ ty rakemba ami’ty bom-bare telo fañaranañe ao vaho hene niazom-pamoà’e.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.”

34Nanoe’ Iesoà amy lahialeñey añ’ ohatse iaby izay; fa naho tsy am-pandrazañañe le tsy nitsarae’e,Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

35hañenefañe i nampisaontsieñe i mpitokiy, ty hoe: Ho sokafeko am-pandrazañañe ty vavako; le ho taroñeko tafatòño boak’an-kaehae’e.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.”

36Nifampiria amy lahialeñey amy zao t’i Iesoà le nizilike añ’anjomba ao. Nimb’ama’e ao o mpiama’eo nihalaly ama’e te habejañe i fandrazañañe i vindaiy.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.”

37Nitoiña’e ty hoe: Ondatio ty mandrarake i doria soay;He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38ty voatse toy i tonday; o vantañeo i doria soay; vaho o tsivokatseo o vindao,The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39i mpañìnjey i rafelahy nandrarake irezay; i vare rifo mizorazora ey ro figadoña’ i sa ho aviy; vaho o anjelio ro mpanatake.and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40Manahake ty fanontona’ o mpanatakeo i vinday horoañe, ty ho fanamperañe ty sa toy.As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.

41Hirahe’ i Ana’ Ondatiy o anjeli’eo hañombotse amy fifehea’ey ze atao raty naho o mitolon-katserehañeo,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.

42le hafetsake an-toñake mirebareba ao; fangololoihañe naho ali-vazañe ty ho ao.And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43Ie amy zay, hireandreañe manahake i àndroy, am-Pifehean-dRae’e ao, o vañoñeo. Ze aman-dravembia mahajanjiñe, Mijanjiña.Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

44Hoe ka t’i Iesoà amo mpiama’eo: I Fifehean-dikerañey le manahake t’indaty mahatrea vara mikafitse le ami’ty hafalea’e ty amy hasaro’ey, fonga aleta’e o fanaña’eo vaho mivily i taney.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.

45Tovo’e, Hambañe ami’ty mpanao balike mpipay vatosoa i fifehean-dikerañey.Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

46Ie mahatrea ty soa, hene aleta’e o vara’eo le mipeake aze.When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.

47Razañeñe an-karato an-driake ao i fifehean-dikerañey; mitontoñe ama’e ao ze volom-piañe iaby.Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

48Ie mirotrarotra le kororohe’ iereo boak’ao, le miheo mb’ama’e o mpañaratoo mijoboñe ty soa ho an-karo’ iareo, vaho aria’ iereo o ratio.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.

49Izay ty ho ie am-panampera’ o androo; Homb’eo o anjelio, hameve o tsivokatseo amo vañoñeo,So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

50vaho havokovoko’ iareo an-toñake mirehetse ao. Lako tañy naho ali-vazañe ty ho ao.and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51Hoe re am’iereo: Nirendre’ areo hao izay? Eka, hoe iareo:Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.

52Aa le, ze fonga mahihitse amy fifehean-dikerañey ro hambañe ami’ty raen-keleiañe mañakatse ty vao naho ty haehae amo vara’eo.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.”

53Ie nagado’ Iesoà i tsara rezay, le nienga,When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.

54vaho nigodañe mb’an-tane’e mb’eo le nañoke ondaty am-pitontonañ’ ao. Nilatsa iareo nanao ty hoe añ’arofo: Aia ty nahazoa’ itiañe ty hihitse naho haozarañe ra’elahy zao?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.

55Tsy ie ty ana’ i mpandrafitsey? tsy atao Marie hao ty rene’e? naho ty rahalahi’e: Iakobe, i Josefa, i Simona, naho i Jodà,“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

56vaho o rahavavi’eo? tsy amantika iaby v’irezay? Taia arè ty nahazoa’ itia o raha iaby zao?Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”

57Aa le nialik’ ama’e iereo, vaho hoe t’i Iesoà tam’iereo: Tsy po-ènge ty mpitoky naho tsy an-tane’e vaho añ’akiba’e ao avao.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.”

58Le tsy nisatri’e ty hanao raha tsitantane ao ty amy haminjikitam-patokisa’ iareo.And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
