MATHEW CHAPTER 13

NT

Chapter 13

וַיְהִי בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וַיֵּצֵא יֵשׁוּעַ מִן־הַבָּיִת וַיֵּשֶׁב עַל־הַיָּם׃

א

1

On that day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

וַיִקָּהֲלוּ אֵלָיו הֲמוֹן עַם רָב וַיֵּרֶד אֶל־הָאֳנִיָּה וַיֵּשֶׁב בָּהּ וְכָל־הָעָם עׂמְדִים עַל־שְׂפַת הַיָּם׃

ב

2

And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.

וַיֶּרֶב לְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם בִּמְשָׁלִים לֵאמׂר הִנֵּה הַזּוֹרֵעַ יָצָא לִזְרׂעַ׃

ג

3

And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;

וַיִּזְרַע וַיִּפּׂל מִן־הַזֶּרַע עַל־יַד הַדָּרֶךְ וַיָבֹאוּ הָעוֹף וַיּׂאכְלֻהוּ׃

ד

4

and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:

וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר נָפַל עַל־מְקׂם הַסְּלָעִים אֲשֶׁר אֵין שָׁם אֲדָמָה הַרְבֵּה וַיְמַהֵר לִצְמׂחַ כִּי אֵין לוֹ עׂמֶק אֲדָמָה׃

ה

5

and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:

וַיְהִי כִּזְרׂחַ הַשֶׁמֶשׁ וַיִּצָּרֵב וַיּיבָשׁ כִּי אֵין־לוֹ שׁׂרֶשׁ׃

ו

6

and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

וְיֵשׂ אֲשֶׁר נָפַל בֵּין הַקּׂצִים וַיַּעֲלוּ הַקּׂצִים וַיְמַעֲכֻהוּ׃

ז

7

And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them:

וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר נָפַל עַל־הָאֲדָמָה הַטּוֹבָה וַיִּתֵּן פֶּרִי זֶה מֵאָה שְׁעָרִים וְזֶה שִׁשִׁים וְזֶה שְׁלׂשִׁים׃

ח

8

and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

מִי אֲשֶׁר לוֹ אָזְנַיִם לִשְׁמׂעַ יִשְׁמָע׃

ט

9

He that hath ears, let him hear.

וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו הַתַּלְמִידִים וַיּׂאמְרוּ לָמָּה זֶּה בִּמְשָׁלִים תְּדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם׃

י

10

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

וַיַּעַן וַיּאׂמֶר כִּי לָכֶם נִתַּן לָדַעַת אֶת־סוֹדוֹת מַלְכוּת הַשָׁמָיִם וְלָהֶם לׂא נִתָּן׃

יא

11

And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

כִּי מִי שֶׁיֶשׁ־לוֹ נָתׂן יִנָּתֵן לוֹ וְיַעֲדִיף וּמִי שֶׁאֵין לוֹ גַם מָה־שֶׁיֵּשׁ־לוֹ יִנָּטֵל מִמֶּנּוּ׃

יב

12

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.

עַל־כֵּן בִּמְשָׁלִים אֲדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם כִּי בִרְאׂתָם לׂא יִרְאוּ וּבְשָׁמְעָם לׂא יִשְׁמְעוּ אַף־לׂא יָבִינוּ׃

יג

13

Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

וּתְקֻיַּם בָּהֶם נְבוּאַת יְשַׁעְיָהוּ הָאׂמֶרֶת שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֹעַ וְאַל־תָּבִינוּ וּרְאוּ רָאוֹ וְאַל־תֵּדָעוּ׃

יד

14

And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:

כִּי הַשְׁמֵן לֵב־הָעָם הַזֶּה וְאָזְנָיו הַכְבֵּד וְעֵינָיו הָשַׁע פֶּן־יִרְאֶה בְעֵינָיו וּבְאָזְנָיו יִשְׁמַע וּלְבָבוֹ יָבִין וָשָׁב וְרָפָא לוֹ׃

טו

15

For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.

וְאַתֶּם אַשְׁרֵי עֵינֵיכֶם כִּי תִרְאֶינָה וְאָזְנֵיכֶם כִּי תִשְׁמַעְנָה׃

טז

16

But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.

כִּי־אָמֵן אׂמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם נְבִיאִים וְצַדִּיקִים רַבִּים נִכְסְפוּ לִרְאׂת אֵת אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם רׂאִים וְלׂא רָאוּ וְלִשְׁמׂעַ אֵת אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם שׁׂמְעִים וְלׂא שָׁמֵעוּ׃

יז

17

For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.

לָכֵן אַתֶּם שִׁמְעוּ־נָא אֵת מְשַׁל הַזּוֹרֵעַ׃

יח

18

Hear then ye the parable of the sower.

כָּל־אִישׁ שׁׂמֵעַ אֶת־דְּבַר הַמַּלְכוּת וְלׂא יְבִינֵהוּ וּבָא הָרָע וְחָטַף אֶת־הַזָּרוּעַ בִּלְבָבוֹ הוּא הַנִּזְרָע עַל־יַד הַדָּרֶךְ׃

יט

19

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evil one, and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.

וְהַנִּזְרָע עַל־מְקוֹם הַסְּלָעִים הוּא הַשׁׂמֵעַ אֶת־הַדָּבָר וּמִיָּד יִקָּחֶנּוּ בְשִׂמְחָה׃

כ

20

And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it;

וְלוֹ אֵין שׁׂרֶשׁ תַּחְתָּיו וְיָקוּם רַק לְשָׁעָה וּבִהְיוֹת צָרָה וּרְדִיפָה בִּגְלַל הַדָּבָר יִכָּשֵׁל כְּרָגַע׃

כא

21

yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth.

וְהַנִּזְרָע אֶל־הַקּׂצִים הוּא הַשׁׂמֵעַ אֶת־הַדָּבָר וְדַאֲגַת הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה וְנִכְלֵי הָעׂשֶׁר יְמַעֲכוּ אֶת־הַדָּבָר וּפְרִי לׂא־יִהְיֶה לּוֹ׃

כב

22

And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

וְהַנִּזְרָע עַל־הָאֲדָמָה הַטּוֹבָה הוּא הַשׁׂמֵעַ אֶת־הַדָּבָר וּמֵבִין אׂתוֹ אַף־יַעֲשֶׂה פֶרִי וְנָתַן זֶה מֵאָה שְׁעָרִים וְזֶה שִׁשִׁים וְזֶה שְׁלׂשִׁים׃

כג

23

And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

וַיָּשֶׂם לִפְנֵיהֶם מָשָׁל אַחֵר וַיּאׂמַר מַלְכוּת הַשָׁמַיִם דּוֹמָה לְאָדָם אֲשֶׁר זָרַע זֶרַע טוֹב בְּשָׂדֵהוּ׃

כד

24

Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:

וַיְהִי בִּהְיוֹת הָאֲנָשִׁים יְשֵׁנִים וַיָּבֹא אׂיְבוֹ וַיִּזְרַע זוּנִין בֵּין הַחִטִּים וַיֵּלֶךְ לוֹ׃

כה

25

but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.

וְכַאֲשֶׁר פָּרַח הַדֶּשֶׁא וַיַּעַשׂ פֶּרִי וַיֵּרָאוּ גַּם־הַזּוּנִין׃

כו

26

But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

וַיִּגְשׁוּ עַבְדֵי בַעַל־הַבַּיִת וַיּׂאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אֲדׂנֵינוּ הֲלׂא־זֶרַע טוֹב זָרַעְתָּ בְשָׂדֶךָ וּמֵאַיִן לוֹ הַזּוּנִין׃

כז

27

And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares?

וַיּאׂמֶר לָהֶם אִישׁ אׂיֵב עָשָׂה זׂאת וַיּׂאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הָעֲבָדִים הֲתַחְפּׂץ כִּי־נֵלֵךְ וּנְלַקֵּט אׂתָם׃

כח

28

And he said unto them, An enemy hath done this. And the servants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

וַיּׂאמֶר לׂא פֶּן־תְּלַקְּטוּ אֶת־הַזּוּנִין וְשֵׁרַשְׁתֶּם גַּם אֶת־הַחִטִּים׃

כט

29

But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them.

הַנִּיחוּ אׂתָם וְיִגְדְּלוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם יַחַד עַד־הַקָּצִיר וְהָיָה בְּעֵת הַקָּצִיר וְאָמַרְתִּי לַקּוֹצְרִים לַקְּטוּ בָרִאשׁוֹנָה אֶת־הַזּוּנִין וְאִגְדוּ אׂתָם אֲגֻדּוֹת לְשָׂרְפָם וְאֵת הַחִטִּים אִסְפוּ לְאוֹצָרִי׃

ל

30

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.

וַיָּשֶׂם לִפְנֵיהֶם מָשָׁל אַחֵר וַיּאׂמַר מַלְכוּת הַשָׁמַיִם דּוֹמָה לְגַרְגַּר שֶׁל־חַרְדָּל אֲשֶׁר לְקָחוֹ אִישׁ וַיִּזְרַע בְּשָׂדֵהוּ׃

לא

31

Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

וְהוּא קָטׂן מִכָּל־הַזֵּרוֹעִים וְכַאֲשֶׁר צָמַח גָּדוֹל הוּא מִן־הַיְרָקוֹת וְהָיָה לְעֵץ עַד־אֲשֶׁר יָבֹאוּ עוֹף הַשָׁמַיִם וְקִנְּנוּ בַּעֲנָפָיו׃

לב

32

which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof.

וַיִּשָּׂא עוֹד מְשָׁלוֹ וַיּאׂמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מַלְכוּת הַשָׁמַיִם דּוֹמָה לִשְׂאׂר אֲשֶׁר לְקָחַתּוּ אִשָׁה וַתִּטְמׂן בִּשְׁלשׁ סְאִים קֶמַח עַד כִּי־יֶחְמַץ כֻּלּוֹ׃

לג

33

Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.

כָּל־אֵלֶּה דִּבֶּר יֵשׁוּעַ בִּמְשָׁלִים אֶל־הֲמוֹן הָעָם וּבִבְלִי מָשָׁל לׂא דִבֶּר אֲלֵיהֶם דָּבָר׃

לד

34

All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:

לְמַלּאת אֵת אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר הַנָּבִיא לֵאמׂר אֶפְתְּחָה בְּמָשָׁל פִּי אַבִּיעָה חִידוֹת מִנִּי־קֶדֶם׃

לה

35

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.

אָז שִׁלַּח יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־הֲמוֹן הָעָם וַיָּבֹא הַבָּיְתָה וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו וַיּׂאמְרוּ בָּאֶר־נָא לָנוּ אֶת־מְשַׁל זוּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה׃

לו

36

Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

וַיַּעַן וַיּאׂמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הַזּוֹרֵעַ אֶת־הַזֶּרַע הַטּוֹב הוּא בֶּן־הָאָדָם׃

לז

37

And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

וְהַשָּׂדֶה הוּא הָעוֹלָם וְהַזֶּרַע הַטּוֹב בְּנֵי הַמַּלְכוּת הֵם וְהַזּוּנִין בְּנֵי הָרַע הֵמָּה׃

לח

38

and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;

וְהָאׂיֵב אֲשֶׁר זְרָעָם הוּא הַשָּׂטָן וְהַקָּצִיר הוּא קֵץ הָעוֹלָם וְהַקּׂצְרִים הֵם הַמַּלְאָכִים׃

לט

39

and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels.

וְהִנֵּה כַּאֲשֶׁר יְלֻקְּטוּ הַזּוּנִין וְנִשְׂרְפוּ בָאֵשׁ כֵּן יִהְיֶה לְקֵץ הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה׃

מ

40

As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world.

בֶּן־הָאָדָם יִשְׁלַח אֶת־מַלְאָכָיו וְלִקְּטוּ מִמַּלְכוּתוֹ אֵת כָּל־הַמַּכְשֵׁלוֹת וְאֵת כָּל־פּׂעֲלֵי הָאָוֶן׃

מא

41

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity,

וְהִשְׁלִיכוּ אׂתָם אֶל־תַּנּוּר הָאֵשׁ שָׁם תִּהְיֶה הַיְלָלָה וַחֲרׂק הַשִׁנָּיִם׃

מב

42

and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

אָז יַזְהִירוּ הַצַּדִּיקִים כַּשֶׁמֶשׁ בְּמַלְכוּת אֲבִיהֶם מִי אֲשֶׁר לוֹ אָזְנַיִם לִשְׁמׂעַ יִשְׁמָע׃

מג

43

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.

עוֹד דּוֹמָה מַלְכוּת הַשָׁמַיִם לְאוֹצָר טָמוּן בַּשָּׂדֶה אֲשֶׁר מְצָאוֹ אִישׁ וַיִּטְמְנֵהוּ וּבְשִׂמְחָתוֹ יֵלֵךְ וּמָכַר אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ וְקָנָה אֶת־הַשָּׂדֶה הַהוּא׃

מד

44

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

עוֹד דּוֹמָה מַלְכוּת הַשָׁמָיִם לְאִישׁ סׂחֵר הַמְבַקֵּשׁ מַרְגָּלִיּוֹת טׂבוֹת׃

מה

45

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:

וְכַאֲשֶׁר מָצָא מַרְגָּלִית אַחַת יְקָרָה מְאׂד הָלַךְ וַיִּמְכּׂר אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ וַיִּקֶן אׂתָהּ׃

מו

46

and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

עוֹד דּוֹמָה מַלְכוּת הַשָׁמַיִם לְמִכְמֶרֶת אֲשֶׁר הָשְׁלְכָה לַיָּם וּמִינִים שׁוֹנִים יֵאָסְפוּ לְתוֹכָהּ׃

מז

47

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

וְכַאֲשֶׁר נִמְלְאָה הֶעֱלוּ אׂתָהּ אֶל־שְׂפַת הַיָּם וַיֵּשְׁבוּ וַיִּלְקְטוּ אֶת־הַמִּינִים הַטּוֹבִים לְתוֹךְ הַכֵּלִים וְאֵת הָרָעִים הִשְׁלִיכוּ׃

מח

48

which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away.

כֵּן יִהְיֶה לְקֵץ הָעוֹלָם הַמַּלְאָכִים יֵצְאוּ וְהִבְדִּילוּ אֶת־הָרְשָׁעִים מִתּוֹךְ הַצַּדִּיקִים׃

מט

49

So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous,

וְהִשְׁלִיכוּם אֶל־תַּנּוּר הָאֵשׁ שָׁם תִּהְיֶה הַיְלָלָה וַחֲרׂק הַשִׁנָּיִם׃

נ

50

and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

וַיּׂאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ הֲתָבִינוּ אֶת־כָּל־אֵלֶּה וַיּׂאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הֵן אֲדׂנֵינוּ׃

נא

51

Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea.

וַיּׂאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם עַל־כֵּן כָּל־סוֹפֵר מְלֻמָּד לְמַלְכוּת הַשָׁמַיִם דּוֹמֶה לְאִישׁ בַּעַל־בַּיִת הַמּוֹצִיא מֵאוֹצָרוֹ חֲדָשׁוֹת וְגַם יְשָׁנוֹת׃

נב

52

And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

וַיְהִי כְּכַלּוֹת יֵשׁוּעַ לְדַבֵּר אֶת־הַמְּשָׁלִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיַּעֲבֹר מִשָׁם׃

נג

53

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

וַיָּבֹא אֶל־אַרְצוֹ וַיְלַמֵּד אׂתָם בְּבֵית הַכְּנֵסֶת שֶׁלָּהֶם וַיִּשְׁתּוֹמֲמוּ וַיּׂאמְרוּ מֵאַיִן לָזֶה הַחָכְמָה הַזּׂאת וְהַגְּבוּרוֹת׃

נד

54

And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

הֲלׂא זֶה הוּא בֶּן־הֶחָרָשׁ הֲלׂא שֵׁם אִמּוֹ מִרְיָם וְאֶחָיו יַעֲקׂב וְיוֹסֵי וְשִׁמְעוֹן וִיהוּדָה׃

נה

55

Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?

וְאַחְיוֹתָיו הֲלׂא כֻלָּן אִתָּנוּ הֵן וּמֵאַיִן אֵיפוֹא לוֹ כָּל־אֵלֶּה׃

נו

56

And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

וַיְהִי לָהֶם לְמִכְשׁוֹל וַיּׂאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֲלֵיהֶם אֵין הַנָּבִיא נִקְלֶה אִם־לׂא בְּאַרְצוֹ וּבְבֵיתוֹ׃

נז

57

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.

וְלׂא־עָשָׂה שָׁם גְּבוּרוֹת רַבּוֹת מִפְּנֵי חׂסֶר אֱמוּנָתָם׃

נח

58

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
