Matthew 13 (YOR)

1Ní ọjọ́ kan náà, Jesu kúrò ní ilé, ó jókòó sí etí Òkun.That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

2Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn péjọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó fi bọ́ sínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, ó jókòó, gbogbo ènìyàn sì dúró létí Òkun.Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

3Nígbà náà ni ó fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ òwe bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀, wí pé, “Àgbẹ̀ kan jáde lọ gbin irúgbìn sínú oko rẹ̀.And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Bí ó sì ti gbin irúgbìn náà, díẹ̀ bọ́ sí ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà, àwọn ẹyẹ sì wá, wọ́n sì jẹ ẹ́.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Díẹ̀ bọ́ sórí ilẹ̀ orí àpáta, níbi ti kò sí erùpẹ̀ púpọ̀. Àwọn irúgbìn náà sì dàgbàsókè kíákíá, nítorí erùpẹ̀ kò pọ̀ lórí wọn.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí oòrùn gòkè, oòrùn gbígbóná jó wọn, gbogbo wọn sì rọ, wọ́n kú nítorí wọn kò ni gbòǹgbò.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Àwọn irúgbìn mìíràn bọ́ sí àárín ẹ̀gún, ẹ̀gún sì dàgbà, ó sì fún wọn pa.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.

8Ṣùgbọ́n díẹ̀ tó bọ́ sórí ilẹ̀ rere, ó sì so èso, òmíràn ọgọ́rùn-ún, òmíràn ọgọ́tọ̀ọ̀ta, òmíràn ọgbọọgbọ̀n, ni ìlọ́po èyí ti ó gbìn.Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.

9Ẹni tí ó bá létí, kí ó gbọ́.”He who has ears, let him hear.”

10Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọ́n bí i pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ ń fi òwe bá àwọn ènìyàn sọ̀rọ̀?”Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

11Ó sì da wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ni a ti fi fún láti mọ ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ ìjọba ọ̀run, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe fún wọn.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ní, òun ni a ó fún sí i, yóò sì ní lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n lọ́wọ́ ẹni tí kò ní, ni a ó ti gbà èyí kékeré tí ó ní náà.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.

13Ìdí nìyìí tí mo fi ń fi òwe bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀: “Ní ti rí rí, wọn kò rí; ní ti gbígbọ́ wọn kò gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì yé wọn.This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’

14Sí ara wọn ni a ti mú àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ wòlíì Isaiah ṣẹ: “ ‘Ní gbígbọ́ ẹ̀yin yóò gbọ́ ṣùgbọ́n kì yóò sì yé yín; ní rí rí ẹ̀yin yóò rí, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì mòye.In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15Nítorí àyà àwọn ènìyàn yìí sébọ́ etí wọn sì wúwo láti gbọ́ ojú wọn ni wọ́n sì dì nítorí kí àwọn má ba à fi ojú wọn rí kí wọ́n má ba à fi etí wọn gbọ́ kí wọn má ba à fi àyà wọn mọ̀ òye, kí wọn má ba à yípadà, kí èmi ba à le mú wọn láradá.’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.’

16Ṣùgbọ́n ìbùkún ni fún ojú yín, nítorí wọ́n ríran, àti fún etí yín, nítorí ti wọ́n gbọ́.But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

17Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn wòlíì àti ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ti fẹ́ rí ohun tí ẹ̀yin ti rí, ki wọ́n sì gbọ́ ohun tí ẹ ti gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò ṣe é ṣe fún wọn.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“Nítorí náà, ẹ fi etí sí ohun tí òwe afúnrúgbìn túmọ̀ sí,Consider, then, the parable of the sower:

19nígbà tí ẹnikẹ́ni bá gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ nípa ìjọba ọ̀run ṣùgbọ́n tí kò yé e, lẹ́yìn náà èṣù á wá, a sì gba èyí tí a fún sí ọkàn rẹ̀ kúrò. Èyí ni irúgbìn ti a fún sí ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà.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.

20Ẹni tí ó sì gba irúgbìn tí ó bọ́ sí ilẹ̀ orí àpáta, ni ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, lọ́gán, ó sì fi ayọ̀ gba ọ̀rọ̀ náà.The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

21Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí kò ní gbòǹgbò, ó wà fún ìgbà díẹ̀; nígbà tí wàhálà àti inúnibíni bá dìde nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ náà ní ojú kan náà yóò sì kọsẹ̀.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.

22Ẹni tí ó si gba irúgbìn tí ó bọ́ sí àárín ẹ̀gún ni ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àníyàn ayé yìí, ìtànjẹ, ọrọ̀ sì fún ọ̀rọ̀ náà pa, ọ̀rọ̀ náà kò so èso nínú rẹ̀.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.

23Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó gba irúgbìn tí ó bọ́ sí orí ilẹ̀ rere ni ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, tí ó sì yé e; òun sì so èso òmíràn ọgọ́rọ̀ọ̀rùn, òmíràn ọgọ́tọ̀ọ̀ta, òmíràn ọgbọọgbọ̀n.”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.”

24Jesu tún pa òwe mìíràn fún wọn: “Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí àgbẹ̀ kan tí ó gbin irúgbìn rere sí oko rẹ̀,Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25ṣùgbọ́n ní òru ọjọ́ kan, nígbà tí ó sùn, ọ̀tá rẹ̀ wá sí oko náà ó sì gbin èpò sáàrín alikama, ó sì bá tirẹ̀ lọ.But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.

26Nígbà tí alikama náà bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí dàgbà, tí ó sì so èso, nígbà náà ni èpò náà fi ara hàn.When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27“Àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ àgbẹ̀ náà wá, wọ́n sọ fún un pé, ‘Ọ̀gá, irúgbìn rere kọ́ ni ìwọ ha gbìn sí oko rẹ nì? Báwo ni èpò ṣe wà níbẹ̀ nígbà náà?’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?’

28“Ó sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ọ̀tá ni ó ṣe èyí.’ “Àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ tún bí i pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ha fẹ́ kí a fa èpò náà tu kúrò?’‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29“Ó dá wọn lóhùn pé, ‘Rárá, nítorí bí ẹ̀yin bá ń tu èpò kúrò, ẹ ó tu alikama dànù pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.

30Ẹ jẹ́ kí àwọn méjèèjì máa dàgbà pọ̀, títí di àsìkò ìkórè. Èmi yóò sọ fún àwọn olùkórè náà láti kọ́kọ́ ṣa àwọn èpò kúrò kí wọ́n sì dìwọ́n ní ìtí, kí a sì sun wọn, kí wọ́n sì kó alikama sínú àká mi.’ ”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.’”

31Jesu tún pa òwe mìíràn fún wọn: “Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí èso hóró musitadi, èyí tí ọkùnrin kan mú tí ó gbìn sínú oko rẹ̀.He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

32Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ èso tí ó kéré púpọ̀ láàrín èso rẹ̀, síbẹ̀ ó wá di ohun ọ̀gbìn tí ó tóbi jọjọ. Ó sì wá di igi tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run sì wá, wọ́n sì fi ẹ̀ka rẹ ṣe ibùgbé.”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.”

33Ó tún pa òwe mìíràn fún wọn: “Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí ìwúkàrà tí obìnrin kan mú tí ó pò mọ́ ìyẹ̀fun púpọ̀ títí tí gbogbo rẹ fi di wíwú.”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.”

34Òwe ni Jesu fi sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún àwọn ènìyàn, òwe ni ó fi bá wọn sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tó sọ.Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

35Kí ọ̀rọ̀ tí a ti ẹnu àwọn wòlíì sọ lé wá sí ìmúṣẹ pé: “Èmi yóò ya ẹnu mi láti fi òwe sọ̀rọ̀. Èmi yóò sọ àwọn ohun tí ó fi ara sin láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé wá.”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.”

36Lẹ́yìn náà ó sì fi ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sílẹ̀ lóde, ó wọ ilé lọ. Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọn wí pé, “Ṣàlàyé òwe èpò inú oko fún wa.”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.”

37Ó sì dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ọmọ Ènìyàn ni ẹni tí ó ń fúnrúgbìn rere.He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38Ayé ni oko náà; irúgbìn rere ni àwọn ènìyàn ti ìjọba ọ̀run. Èpò ni àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n jẹ́ ti èṣù,The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39ọ̀tá tí ó gbin àwọn èpò sáàrín alikama ni èṣù. Ìkórè ni òpin ayé, àwọn olùkórè sì ní àwọn angẹli.and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40“Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kó èpò jọ, tí a sì sun ún nínú iná, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni yóò rí ní ìgbẹ̀yìn ayé.As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.

41Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò ran àwọn angẹli rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì kó gbogbo ohun tó ń mú ni dẹ́ṣẹ̀ kúrò ní ìjọba rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ènìyàn búburú.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.

42Wọn yóò sì sọ wọ́n sí inú iná ìléru, níbi ti ẹkún òun ìpayínkeke yóò gbé wà.And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43Nígbà náà ni àwọn olódodo yóò máa ràn bí oòrùn ní ìjọba Baba wọn. Ẹni tí ó bá létí, jẹ́ kí ó gbọ́.Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

44“Ìjọba ọ̀run sì dàbí ìṣúra kan tí a fi pamọ́ sínú oko. Nígbà tí ọkùnrin kan rí i ó tún fi í pamọ́. Nítorí ayọ̀ rẹ̀, ó ta gbogbo ohun ìní rẹ̀, ó ra oko náà.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“Bákan náà ni ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí oníṣòwò kan tí ó ń wá òkúta olówó iyebíye láti rà.Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

46Nígbà tí ó rí ọ̀kan tí ó ni iye lórí, ó lọ láti ta gbogbo ohun ìní rẹ̀ láti le rà á.When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.

47“Bákan náà, a sì tún lè fi ìjọba ọ̀run wé àwọ̀n kan tí a jù sínú odò, ó sì kó onírúurú ẹja.Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

51Jesu bí wọn léèrè pé, “Ǹjẹ́ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí yé yín.” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ó yé wa.”Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.

53Lẹ́yìn ti Jesu ti parí òwe wọ̀nyí, ó ti ibẹ̀ kúrò.When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.

54Ó wá sí ìlú òun tìkára rẹ̀, níbẹ̀ ni ó ti ń kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn nínú Sinagọgu, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n. Wọ́n béèrè pé, “Níbo ni ọkùnrin yìí ti mú ọgbọ́n yìí àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu wọ̀nyí wá?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.

55Kì í ha ṣe ọmọ gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà ni èyí bí? Ìyá rẹ̀ ha kọ́ ni à ń pè ní Maria bí? Arákùnrin rẹ̀ ha kọ́ ni Jakọbu, Josẹfu, Simoni àti Judasi bí?“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

57Inú bí wọn sí i. Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Wòlíì a máa lọ́lá ní ibòmíràn, àfi ní ilé ara rẹ̀ àti ní ìlú ara rẹ̀ nìkan ni wòlíì kò ti lọ́lá.”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.”

58Nítorí náà kò ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu kankan níbẹ̀, nítorí àìnígbàgbọ́ wọn.And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
