Matthew 13 (XSN)

1A lengme leme na Yeso suri akwilǝ me, naka ale aa ka cikǝ o wulu o lepong.That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

2Na leguki le aromo leegong deya a kai, naka lyǝ o onggo o tara manyi naka cikǝ. Aa leguki le aromo me kangza ne itǝ o wulu lepong le me.Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

3Naka bele ne mapapa cake aa nyimi angmǝ a gerpo na, “Ondo ogole ara yende wa ale ara aa waale ebelo.And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Nangka waya waale me, na ebelo eyende taru a za orona, na engmeng de nane donge e.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Na eyende taru aa za acale araaka makeke ta gongha ne. Na e suri a saseya obena makeke arame taa gerpo ne.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Nangka ongme wa tamana na ma ya rauwo, na ma waka obena madǝrǝ mame taa gerpo ne.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Ee belo yende kangza taru a nyimi ekana, na ekana me gong na e gatakale e.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.

8Ee yende kangza taru a makeke ma rere, na ekare eyo, na eye eyo liwinu, liwunu, eyende etuuru taashe, taashe, eyende kangza etuuru taaro, taaro.Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.

9Pate ondooka waye ka toto to konaza a wa kone angmǝ aa na.”He who has ears, let him hear.”

10Na atoma Yeso de, aa ne pirkǝ kai na, “Eyaaka o beya angmǝ aa gerpo ka aromo?”Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

11Naka kabare ne na, “Ying aa kabare o bena e rose o ela o togomo te Ashili, aa ne ata a nya nee ne.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12O bena ondooka waya ka eyapa waya ayo wala wai ne, ka wa cǝ a cake. Kangza ondo odera eyapa, ee baate kawa ye ka e, ayo emba e a wai.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.

13Epa eeka e ote na eyang beya ngmǝ gerpo kane, ‘Adorana na ne gonte a neta laka ne, aa ne rakara a neta a kona ne, obena epa eme e lyǝ aane amaring.’This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’

14Azaa one ayo panza epa eeka ondo beya ngmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili Ishaya wa beke na, “Eyo konaza, aa eto rosa ne dakememe, eyo kang gonta aa eto laka ne ko babate.In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15Obena anyong aromo ana aya katakau, aa teto tene ta konaza ne. Kangza ne pate ayizi ane, obena kana ne gonte ka ayizi ane ne, kana ne kone ka teto tene ne, obena kana ne cǝ orosa ne, kane kuri a mi kang womza nee ne.’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.’

16Ana o kona oleba ying obena ayizi aying aya gonta, a teto teying kangza taya konaza.But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

17Eyang dongdong baala oying ana obeya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili ka ana o kona boome Ashili a cake ne yeme olaka epana eeya gonta me, na ne ta laka ne, aa ne kone epa eeka eya konaza me, na ne ta kona ne.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“Anna masanto ma angmǝ a gerpo ondo o waale ebelo na.Consider, then, the parable of the sower:

19Pate ondooka wa kona ngmǝ a togomo nawa ta rosa ne, ogomo o bere oburu deese kawa kwagale epaaka a waale a lenyong le wai. Enna ebelo eeka a wale a za orona.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.

20Ebelo eeka ee tǝru ara acale, eya naa ondooka wa kona angmǝ Ashili, nawa embe ka o kona o leba.The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

21Oo bena wata ka oting ne, nawa ta rabo aa cake ne. A were aka o kedeya na opoba wa era, azaa a ngmǝ Ashili, aa oromo me kuri sidimǝ.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.

22Ebelo ee ka e taru a nyimi ekana, eya na ondooka wa kona ngmǝ Ashili, na madoola ma ocǝ ka o kona oleba awere na a nare angmǝ o gongha, ka ngmǝ me itǝ o dera edang.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.

23Ebelo eemea ee tǝru a makeke ma rere, waya na ondooka wa kone ngmǝ Ashili na wa rose ai, awa eze ogole ka ai. Kangza awa cǝ eyapa aza ame, eyende lewinu, lewinu, eyende etuuru taashe, taashe, ee yende etuuru taaro, taaro.”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 Yeso kang bele ne angmǝ a gerpo yende na, “Ayo kedeya togomo ta shili ka oromo ooka wa waale ebelo e rere ara awai.Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25Awere aka aromo neya malau, na oja okara wai ale na wa waale a belo o wake yende ara o alkama me, awa sokoo ale.But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.

26Nangka ebelo me e ere na eye eyo, na owake me kang gongha.When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27Na azara ateakwilǝ me ne de, na ne bekaa wai na, ‘Ateakwilǝ, teya beya na ebelo erere ba waale ara au sang? A wiinia na mawake ma surǝ ara ame?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?’

28Nawa kabare ne na, ‘Oja okara waya nyimi.’ Na azara me pirkǝ wai na, ‘Oya yeme aa te ale kate lope mawake mame na?‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29Aa wa bekaa nee na, ‘Nyimia dai, bayana, tana azaa olopa mawake e gwaara ka o alkama me ne.‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.

30Baya na ne aa gong legwa a ale awere o shende. A were o shende me kangza eyang bekaa ana o shende me, kane bore ka oshende mawake mame, a ne kurki mawake mame, aane tese kane ese, aane shende o alkama me ka ne kare aa benga.’ ”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.’”

31Na Yeso bekaa ne a ngmǝ a gerpo kangza na, “Togomo te shili teya baate na beyo be o mosta, emea oromo yende wa ale kawa kpeene ara awai.He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

32Eya kala a bee baate a nyimi eyo, aa ee gongha, e kala kombela uti o marane, kawa itǝ uti oo gong, ka engmeng soze todo ee bana me.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.”

33Kangza Yeso ka bele ne angmǝ gerpo yende na, “Togomo te Ashili teye na o yisti, ooka ondaye yende wa jeke nawa sakale ka maso ma taaro ma'ena ma o alkama, na ma sakalnang ka ma o yisti me.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.”

34Na Yeso bele okurkǝnǝng aromo, pate epaname a nyimi angmǝ aa gerpo. Kata ka baaleze eyapa ne soona aa nyimi angmǝ gerpo.Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

35Aye nyimia ka panza o bekaa ondo beya ngmǝ mawo Ashili Ishaya na, “Eyang beya angmǝ a nyimi ngmǝ a gerpo, Eyang beka epa eeka a baasa obora lerambo.”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.”

36Na Yeso baya aromo acake me, aaka lyǝ akwilǝ. Na atoma kai kangza ne deya kai, na ne bekaa na, “Bele ro masanto ma angmǝ gerpo aza mawake ara.”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.”

37Aaka kabare na, “Ondo owaale ebelo erere name, waya Kena ka Oromo.He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38Aa ara ame, aya lerambo leena, ebelo erere name, neya ayana a togomo te Ashili, kangza mawake mame maya ayana ogomo ara a buru.The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39Oja okara ka wa waale owake, waya ogomo ara a buru. Awere oshende me aya lengme le maare o lerambo leena, ana o shende me neya atoma Ashili o surǝ azaa shili.and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40Nangka kurki mawake ka ese mai, nyimia wayo itǝ a lengme le omaare.As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.

41Kena ka Oromo kayo tonga atoma kai o surǝ azaa shili, kane shende ana o ote aromo kane rizi, kangza kaa pate ana o eza epa eburu, kane sǝǝrǝ ne a nyimi togomo te kai,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.

42kangza kane tare ne a nyimi ola o kpwaiye. A saname neya ruuzi ka o nonza tuuni.And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43A were namea ana o eza epa erere, masanto mane mayo surǝ na ongme a nyimi togomo te Ate ane. Ondooka waya ka toto to kona, awa kone.”Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

44Togomo te Ashili teye na ocǝa ka a baasa nyimi ara, ooka ondo wa cǝ nawa kang baasa. A nyimi zanta wai, nawa ale nawa lishi pate epa eeka waye ka e nawa embe ara me.”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.

45Kangza togomo te Ashili teye na ondo ejamanea, ooka waya gera acale aa rere ka aye kaa emate.Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

46Nangka wa cǝ lecale le yende lee rere acak, na wa ale nawa lishi pate epa eeka waye ka e, na wa embe ai.”When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.

47Kangza Togomo te Ashili teye na ojara o meese ekwala ooka tare a lepong, nawa meke kombela ekwala.Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

48Nangka wa pene, naa windi wai o wulu lepong, nane cikǝ ane zake e kwala ee rere e me nane kare a nyimi o kende, aa ne oke eburu me.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.

49Nyimia wayo itǝ a lengme le omare. Atoma Ashili o surǝ azaa shili neyo sǝǝrǝ ana ara aburu nyimi aromo a rere.So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

50Ka ne tare ana ara aburu a nyimi ola o kpwaiye, aa sanamea neyo ruuzi ko nonza tuuni.and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51“E rose epaena pate na?” Na ne kabare na “Eeye.”Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.

52Naka bekaa nee na, “Pate ondo o baala angmǝ aaka Ashili nya Mosa wa itǝ ondo tare togomo te Ashili, wa itǝ na ateakwilǝ, ondooka wa mangka ocǝ osau ka o kozo ara a le'eke lewai.”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.”

53Nangka Yeso ka mare obeya angmǝ aa gerpo name naka baya arame.When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.

54Ko deya a peng kai, naka bore o baala aromo oo dandaro o ogwarzanang one. Na epa me tere ne ukpwei na ne beke na, “Karomo kaana ka cǝ orosa ka epa o tera ukpwei aa ba?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.

55Teya beyana kanna, kena ka o ondo cocoza sang? Iini kai kaya Mariya sang? Arone kai neya Yakubu, Yusupu, ka Saminu, kangza kaa Yahuda sang?“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

56Arone kai andaye neya ara yendea kaa ro sang? Karomo kaana ka cǝ epa eena ba?Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”

57Na ne kone oburǝ okai. Na Yeso bekaanee na, “Ondo obeya ngmǝ ka mawo Ashili ata kabare ka wai a nyimi apeng awai kaa kwilǝ awai ne.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.”

58Naka ta eza epa otera ukpwei a cake a saname ne, a za odera okabare ka Ashili one.And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
