Matye 13
Haitian Creole Version
13 ¶ Menm jou sa a, Jezi soti nan kay la, li al chita bò lanmè a.
2 Te sitèlman gen moun sanble tout bò kote Jezi, li moute nan yon kannòt, li chita. Tout foul moun yo menm te rete kanpe sou rivaj la.
3 Li t'ap rakonte yo kèk parabòl pou l' te fè yo konprann anpil bagay. Li t'ap di yo konsa: Ala, yon moun soti pou l' ale simen grenn nan jaden l'.
4 Antan l'ap simen grenn yo, kèk grenn tonbe bò chemen an: zwazo vini, yo manje yo.
5 Yon pati grenn tonbe nan mitan wòch, kote ki pa t' gen anpil tè. Grenn sa yo leve byen vit, paske yo pa t' antre fon anba tè a.
6 Men, lè solèy la chofe, li boule ti plant yo, yo cheche, paske rasen yo pa t' fon.
7 Yon lòt pati tonbe nan mitan pikan. Pikan yo grandi, yo toufe bon ti plant yo.
8 Men, yon lòt pati ankò tonbe nan bon tè; yo donnen. Genyen ki bay san grenn, lòt bay swasant, lòt bay trant.
9 Apre sa, Jezi di yo: Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande.
10 Disip yo pwoche bò kot Jezi, yo mande li: Poukisa ou pale an parabòl ak moun yo?
11 Jezi reponn yo: Nou menm, Bondye fè nou favè sa a pou nou konnen sekrè Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la. Men yo menm, yo pa resevwa favè sa a.
12 Paske, moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò. Konsa, la gen plis pase sa l' bezwen an. Men, moun ki pa gen anyen an, y'a wete nan men l' nimm ti sa l' te genyen an.
13 Se poutèt sa m'ap pale an parabòl ak moun sa yo. Paske, lè y'ap gade yo pa wè, lè y'ap koute yo pa tande, ni yo pa konprann.
14 Konsa, sa pwofèt Ezayi te di a rive vre pou yo: n'a tande nan zòrèy nou, men, nou p'ap konprann. n'a gade ak je nou, men, nou p'ap wè.
15 Paske, lespri pèp sa a vin lou. Yo bouche zòrèy yo, yo fèmen je yo, pou yo pa wè ak je yo, pou yo pa tande nan zòrèy yo, pou yo pa konprann ak lespri yo, pou yo pa tounen vin jwenn mwen pou m' geri yo. Se Bondye ki pale konsa.
16 Men, pou nou menm, benediksyon pou nou: paske nou wè ak je nou, nou tande nan zòrèy nou.
17 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Anpil pwofèt ak anpil moun ki mache dwat devan Bondye te anvi wè sa n'ap wè la a, men yo pa t' wè li. Yo te anvi tande sa n'ap tande la a, men yo pa t' tande li.
18 Koulye a, koute. Men sa parabòl moun ki t'ap simen an vle di.
19 Moun ki tande pawòl ki pale sou Peyi Wa a men ki pa konprann li, yo sanble ak tè bò chemen an, kote kèk grenn te tonbe: Satan vini, li rache pawòl ki te simen nan kè yo a.
20 Gen lòt ki tankou tè ki gen anpil wòch la. Lè yo fèk tande pawòl la, yo resevwa l' ak kè kontan.
21 Men, yo pa kite l' pouse rasen nan kè yo. Yo pa kenbe l' pou lontan. Lè yo tonbe anba tèt chaje ak pèsekisyon akòz pawòl Bondye a, lamenm yo jwenn okazyon pou yo tonbe nan peche.
22 Gen lòt ankò ki resevwa pawòl la tankou grenn ki tonbe nan mitan pikan. Yo tande pawòl la, men traka lavi ak anvi gen lajan, tou sa toufe pawòl la, kifè yo pa ka bay anyen menm.
23 Moun ki resevwa pawòl la tankou grenn ki tonbe nan bon tè a, se moun ki konprann pawòl la lè yo tande li. Lè sa a, yo donnen. Gen ladan yo ki bay san, yon lòt bay swasant, yon lòt bay trant.
24 ¶ Jezi ba yo yon lòt parabòl ankò. Li di yo konsa: Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon moun ki te simen bon grenn nan jaden li.
25 Men, yon jou lannwit, pandan tout moun t'ap dòmi, yon lènmi nonm lan vini, li simen move zèb nan mitan mayi yo. Apre sa, li ale.
26 Lè mayi yo fin pouse, yo pran jete zepi. Lè sa a, move zèb la parèt tou.
27 Moun ki t'ap travay ak mèt jaden an vin di li: Mèt, se pa bon grenn ase nou te simen nan jaden ou lan? Kote move zèb sa yo soti?
28 Li reponn yo: Se yon lènmi m' ki fè sa. Travayè yo mande li: Ou pa ta vle n' al rache move zèb yo?
29 Li di yo: Non, poko fè sa. Paske, antan n'ap rache move zèb yo, nou ka derasinen mayi a avèk yo tou.
30 Kite yo grandi ansanm jouk lè rekòt la va rive. Lè sa a, m'a di moun k'ap ranmase rekòt la: Rache move zèb yo anvan. Mare yo fè pakèt pou n' al boule. Mayi a menm, mete l' nan galata mwen.
31 Li ba yo yon lòt parabòl ankò. Li di yo konsa: Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon ti grenn moutad yon nonm pran pou li al simen nan jaden li.
32 Grenn moutad, se grenn ki pi piti nan tout grenn ki genyen. Men, lè l' pouse, li pi gwo pase tout plant menm kalite avèk li. Li vin yon gwo pyebwa. Se konsa zwazo nan syèl la vin fè nich nan branch li yo.
33 Li di yo yon lòt parabòl ankò: Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou ledven yon fanm pran, li mete nan senk mezi farin pou fè tout pa t' la leve.
34 Se avèk parabòl konsa Jezi t'ap moutre foul moun yo tout bagay sa yo. Li pa t' louvri bouch li pou l' pa t' rakonte yo yon parabòl.
35 Sa te pase konsa pou pawòl pwofèt la te di a te ka rive vre: Se an parabòl m'ap pale ak yo. m'a fè yo konnen bagay ki te kache depi anvan Bondye te kreye latè.
36 Apre sa, Jezi kite foul moun yo dèyè, li antre nan kay la. Disip li yo pwoche bò kote l', yo di l' konsa: Esplike nou parabòl move zèb nan jaden an.
37 Li reponn yo: Moun ki simen bon grenn lan, se Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a.
38 Jaden an se latè. Bon grenn yo, se moun ki fè pati Peyi Wa a. Move zèb yo, se moun ki patizan Satan.
39 Lènmi ki simen move zèb yo, se Satan. Sezon rekòt la, se lè tout bagay va fini nèt la. Moun k'ap ranmase rekòt la, se zanj Bondye yo.
40 Menm jan yo te rache move zèb yo pou jete yo nan dife a, se konsa tou sa pral rive, lè tout bagay va fini.
41 Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va voye zanj li yo pou yo wete tout moun k'ap fè lòt moun fè peche, ansanm ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. y'a mete yo deyò nan Peyi kote l' Wa a.
42 Zanj yo va jete yo nan gwo founo k'ap boule a. Se la va gen rèl, se la moun va manje dan yo.
43 Men, lè sa a, moun ki te mache dwat devan Bondye yo va klere tankou solèy nan peyi Papa yo ki Wa a. Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande. Parabòl ja lajan an
44 ¶ Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon ja lajan ki te anba tè nan yon jaden. Yon nonm rive jwenn li, li kouvri l' ankò. Li sitèlman kontan, li ale, li vann tou sa l' genyen, li tounen vin achte jaden an.
45 Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon machann k'ap chache bèl grenn pèl.
46 Lè li jwenn yon bèl grenn pèl ki chè anpil, li ale, li vann tou sa l' genyen pou l' ka achte li.
47 Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon privye yo voye nan lanmè. Li pran tout kalite pwason.
48 Lè li fin plen, pechè pwason yo rale l' sou bò rivaj la. Yo chita, yo triye pwason yo: yo mete bon pwason yo nan panyen, yo jete sa ki pa bon yo nan lanmè ankò.
49 Se konsa sa pral rive tou lè tout bagay va fini. Zanj Bondye yo va vini, y'ap mete mechan yo yon bò, moun ki fè sa ki byen yo yon bò.
50 y'a jete mechan yo nan gwo founo k'ap boule a. Se la va gen rèl, se la moun va manje dan yo.
51 Jezi mande disip li yo: Eske nou konprann tou sa? Yo reponn: Wi.
52 Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: Se konsa, tout dirèktè lalwa ki tounen yon disip nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la ap tankou yon mèt kay k'ap rale met deyò bagay li fenk achte ak bagay li gen depi lontan nan byen l' yo.
53 ¶ Lè Jezi fin di parabòl sa yo, li kite kote l' te ye a.
54 li ale nan lavil kote l' te grandi a. Li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay nan sinagòg la. Tout moun ki t'ap koute l' te sezi anpil. Yo t'ap di konsa: Ki bò li pran konesans sa a! Kouman li fè fè tout mirak sa yo?
55 Se pa pitit bòs chapant lan? Se pa Mari ki manman li? Se pa frè Jak, Jozèf, Simon ak Jid li ye?
56 Apa tout sè l' yo la avèk nou. Kote l' jwenn tout bagay sa yo?
57 Se sak fè yo te jwenn nan li okazyon tonbe nan peche. Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: Yon pwofèt jwenn respè toupatou, esepte nan peyi l' ak nan fanmi li.
58 Se konsa Jezi pa t' fè anpil mirak la, paske yo pa t' kwè nan li.
Matthew 13
New International Version
The Parable of the Sower(A)(B)(C)
13 That same day Jesus went out of the house(D) and sat by the lake. 2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat(E) and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred,(F) sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”(G)
10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven(H) has been given to you,(I) but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.(J) 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.(K)
14 In them is fulfilled(L) the prophecy of Isaiah:
“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
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.’[a](M)
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.(N) 17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see(O) but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom(P) and does not understand it, the evil one(Q) comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.(R) 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth(S) choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”(T)
The Parable of the Weeds
24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like(U) a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “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 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 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 and bring it into my barn.’”(V)
The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast(W)(X)
31 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like(Y) a mustard seed,(Z) which a man took and planted in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”(AA)
33 He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like(AB) yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds[b] of flour(AC) until it worked all through the dough.”(AD)
34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.(AE) 35 So was fulfilled(AF) what was spoken through the prophet:
“I will open my mouth in parables,
I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”[c](AG)
The Parable of the Weeds Explained
36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable(AH) of the weeds in the field.”
37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.(AI) 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one,(AJ) 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest(AK) is the end of the age,(AL) and the harvesters are angels.(AM)
40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man(AN) will send out his angels,(AO) and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(AP) 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun(AQ) in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.(AR)
The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl
44 “The kingdom of heaven is like(AS) treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.(AT)
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like(AU) a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
The Parable of the Net
47 “Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like(AV) a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds(AW) of fish. 48 When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. 49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous(AX) 50 and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(AY)
51 “Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked.
“Yes,” they replied.
52 He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
A Prophet Without Honor(AZ)
53 When Jesus had finished these parables,(BA) he moved on from there. 54 Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue,(BB) and they were amazed.(BC) “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. 55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?(BD) Isn’t his mother’s(BE) name Mary, and aren’t his brothers(BF) James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 And they took offense(BG) at him.
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”(BH)
58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
