Mattityahu 13
13
1On that day, having gone out of the bais, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sat beside the lake.
2And many multitudes gathered together to him so that he got into a sirah (boat) to sit down, and the entire multitude stood along the shore.
3And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach told them many things in meshalim (parables), saying Hinei! The Sower went out to sow.#13:3 Seeds
4And while he sowed, on the one hand, this#13:4 Seed fell along the road, and the birds having come, devoured them.
5And others fell upon the rocky places, where there is not much soil, and immediately it sprouts on account of the lack of the soilʼs depth.
6And when the shemesh (sun) arose, the zera (seed) was scorched, and because it did not have a root, it withered.
7And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8But others fell on the adamah tovah (good ground), and they yielded fruit: the one, one hundred, the other, sixty, the other, thirty.
9The one having oznayim (spiritual ears), let him hear!
10And, approaching, the talmidim said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Why in meshalim (parables) are you speaking to them?
11And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered them, Because to you it has been granted to have daas of the razim (mysteries) of the Malchut HaShomayim, but to those it has not been granted.
12For whoever has,#13:12 more will be given to him, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.#13:12 see Mt 25:14-29
13For this reason in meshalim I am speaking to them, for while seeing they do not see, and#13:13 while hearing they do not hear, nor do they have binah (understanding).
14And in them is fulfilled the nevuah (prophecy) of Yeshayah HaNavi, saying, SHIMU SHAMOA VAL TAVINU UREU RAO VAL TEIDAU (In hearing you will hear and by no means understand, and seeing you will see and by no means perceive).
15HASHMEIN LEV HAAM HAZEH VAZNAV HACHBEID VEINAV HASHA, PEN YIREH VEINAV UVEAZNAV YISHMAH ULEVAVO YAVIN, VSHAV NRAFAH LOH.#13:15 Isa 6:9-10 (For the heart of this people has been made dull, and [their] ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes are shut, lest they see with the their eyes and with [their] ears they hear, and with the lev (heart) they understand and they turn and I will give them refuah [healing]).
16But ashrey are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.
17For truly I say to you that many Neviim and tzaddikim desired to see what you see, and they did not see,#13:17 it and to hear what you hear, and they did not hear it.
18You, therefore, listen to the mashal of the sower.
19When anyone hears the Dvar HaMalchut and does not have binah, HaRah (the Evil one) comes and seizes that which was sown in his lev (heart). This is the zera (seed) sown along the path.
20And the zera sown upon the rocky places is the person listening to the Dvar Hashem and immediately with simcha receives it.
21Yet he has no root in himself but is short-lived, and when ES TZARAH comes or persecution on account of the Dvar Hashem, immediately he ceases being a maamin Meshichi (Messianic believer) and becomes meshummad (apostate), falling away and giving up the#13:21 true Orthodox Jewish faith.#13:21 Jer 30:7
22And the#13:22 zera sown among the thorns is the one hearing the dvar (word), and the rogez HaOlam Hazeh#13:22 Dt 28:65 (the anxiety of this age) and the mirmah (deceit) of riches, choke the Dvar Hashem and it becomes unfruitful.#13:22 Isa 53:9
23And the zera sown upon the adamah tovah (the good ground), this is the one who hears the Dvar Hashem and, understanding,#13:23 it indeed bears pri and, one produces a hundred, the other sixty, the other thirty.
24Another mashal Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach placed before them, saying, The Malchut HaShomayim is like a man sowing zera tov (good seed) in his field.
25But while men slept, his oyev (enemy) came and oversowed weeds in between the wheat and went away.
26But when the wheat sprouted and produced pri, then the weeds also appeared.
27So the servants of the Baal Bayit said to him, Adoneinu, did you not sow zera tov (good seed) in your field? How then does it have weeds?
28And he said to them, An oyev did this. So the servants say to him, Do you want us to go and pull them all?
29But he says, No, lest gathering the weeds you should uproot the wheat together with them.
30Permit both to grow together until the Katzir (harvest); and in time of the Katzir, I will say to the kotzerim, Collect first the weeds, and bind them into bundles to burn them. But the wheat gather into my storehouse.
31Another mashal Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach placed before them, saying, The Malchut HaShomayim is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.
32This that is indeed less than all the zeraim (seeds), but when it grows, it is larger than the garden vegetables and it becomes an etz (tree), so that the OPH HASHOMAYIM#13:32 Job 35:11 come and dwell in its branches.
33Another mashal Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach spoke to them. The Malchut HaShomayim is like seor (leaven), which having taken, a woman hid in three satas of wheat flour until the whole was leavened.
34All these things Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach spoke in meshalim to the multitudes. And apart from meshalim Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not speak to them:
35So that might be fulfilled what was spoken through the Navi, saying, EFTCHA VMASHAL PI AVIAH CHIDOT (I will open my mouth with parables, I will utter things having been hidden) from the foundation of the world — Ps 78:2.
36Then having sent away the multitudes, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came into the bais (house). And Moshiachʼs talmidim approached him, saying, Explain to us the mashal of the weeds of the field.
37And answering, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, The Sower of the zera tov is the Bar Enosh (Moshiach).
38The field is HaOlam Hazeh. And the zera tov, the good seed, these are the Bnei HaMalchut, and the weeds, these are the bnei HaRah#13:38 Gn 3:15 (sons of the Evil one).
39And the Oyev (the Enemy) sowing them is HaSatan. And the Katzir (Harvest), this is HaKetz HaOlam (the end of the age). And the kotzerim (reapers, harvesters) are malachim (angels).
40As the weeds are pulled up and gathered and are consumed with Eish (Fire), so also it will be at the Ketz HaOlam.
41The Bar Enosh#13:41 Moshiach will send forth his malachim, and they will pull up and gather out of the Moshiachʼs Malchut all the things making meshummad (apostate) and the ones who are without gezetz (law) and antinomian.#13:41 see Ro 6:1-2
42And Moshiachʼs malachim will throw them into the furnace of Eish; there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43Then the tzaddikim will shine as the shemesh (sun) in the Malchut of their Father. The one having oznayim (spiritual ears), let him hear.
44The Malchut HaShomayim is like otzar (treasure) hidden in the field, which, having found, a man hid. And from the simcha he experienced, he goes away and sells everything he has and buys that field.
45Again, the Malchut HaShomayim is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.
46And having found one precious peninah (pearl), he went away and liquidated everything he had and acquired it.
47Again, the Malchut HaShomayim is like a reshet (net) having been cast into the lake, a reshet collecting and gathering dagim (fish) of all descriptions,
48which, when this reshet (net) was filled, they hoisted it upon the shore, sat down, collected the tov (good) into a creel, and the rah (evil), they threw out.
49Thus it will be at HaKetz HaOlam Hazeh (The End of This World). The malachim will go out and they will separate the resha'im from among the tzaddikim.
50And they will throw the resha'im into the furnace of Eish. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51Did you have binah of all these things? They say to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Ken.
52So Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Therefore, every sofer (scribe, torah teacher, rabbi) who becomes a talmid of the Malchut HaShomayim is like a man#13:52 who is a Baal Bayit, who takes out of his otzar (treasure), chadashot (new things) and also yeshanot (old things).
53And it came about when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach finished these meshalim, that he went away from there.
54And having come into Moshiachʼs shtetl, he began ministering as a moreh (teacher) in their shul, so that they were amazed and said, From where did this chochmah come to this one, this chochmah and these moftim (miracles, wonders, omens)?
55Is this not the ben hanaggar (the carpenterʼs son)? Is not his Em called Miryam? And are not his achim Ya'akov,#13:55 T.N. This is the author of the one of the Igrot Kodesh called Ya'akov. Yosef, Shim'on and Yehuda?#13:55 See one of the Igrot Kodesh called Yehuda, of which he is the author.
56And are not his achayot (sisters) with us? From where, therefore, came to this one all these things?
57And they were taking offense at Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, A Navi (prophet) is not without honor except in his hometown and in his bais.
58And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not accomplish in that place many moftim, because of their lack of emunah (faith) and bitachon (trust).

Matthew 13
13
CHAPTER 13
1In that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat beside the sea.
2And much people was gathered to him, so that he went up into a boat, and sat; and all the people stood on the brink.
3And he spake to them many things in parables, and said, Lo! he that soweth, went out to sow his seed.
4And while he soweth, some seeds felled beside the way, and birds of the air came, and ate them.
5But other seeds felled into stony places, where they had not much earth; and anon they sprung up, for they had not deepness of earth.
6But when the sun was risen, they sweltered [or they burned for the heat], and for they had not root, they dried up.
7And other seeds felled among thorns; and the thorns waxed up, and strangled them.
8But other seeds felled into good land, and gave fruit; some an hundred-fold, another sixtyfold, another thirty-fold.
9He that hath ears of hearing, hear he.
10And the disciples came nigh, and said to him, Why speakest thou in parables to them?
11And he answered, and said to them, For to you it is given to know the privates [or mysteries] of the kingdom of heavens; but it is not given to them.
12For it shall be given to him that hath, and he shall have plenty; but if a man hath not, also that thing that he hath shall be taken away from him.
13Therefore I speak to them in parables, for they seeing see not, and they hearing hear not, neither under-stand;
14that the prophecy of Isaiah saying be fulfilled in them, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not under-stand; and ye seeing shall see, and ye shall not see;
15for the heart of this people is greatly fatted, and they heard heavily with ears, and they have closed their eyes, lest sometime they see with eyes, and with ears hear, and under-stand in heart, and they be converted, and I heal them.
16But your eyes that see be blessed, and your ears that hear.
17Forsooth I say to you, that many prophets and just men coveted to see those things that ye see, and they saw not, and to hear those things that ye hear, and they heard not.
18Therefore hear ye the parable of the sower.
19Each that heareth the word of the realm, and understandeth not, the evil spirit cometh, and ravisheth that that is sown in his heart; this it is [or this is he], that is sown beside the way.
20But this [or he] that is sown on the stony land, this it is [or is this], that heareth the word of God, and anon with joy taketh it.
21And he hath not root in himself, but is temporal. For when tribulation and persecution is made for the word, anon he is caused to stumble.
22But he that is sown in thorns, is this that heareth the word, and the busyness of this world, and the fallacy [or the falseness] of riches strangleth the word, and it is made without fruit.
23But he that is sown into good land, is this that heareth the word, and understandeth, and bringeth forth fruit. And some maketh an hundred-fold, truly another sixtyfold and another thirtyfold.
24Another parable Jesus put forth to them, and said, The kingdom of heavens is made like to a man, that sowed good seed in his field.
25And when men slept, his enemy came, and sowed above tares, [or darnels, or cockles], in the middle of wheat, and went away.
26But when the herb was grown, and made fruit, then the tares, [or the darnels, or cockles], appeared.
27And the servants of the husband-man came, and said to him, Lord, whether hast thou not sown good seed in thy field? whereof then hath it tares, [or darnels, or cockles]?
28And he said to them, An enemy hath done this thing. And the servants said to him, Wilt thou that we go, and gather them?
29And he said, Nay, lest peradven-ture ye in gathering tares, [or the darnels, or cockles], draw up with them [also] the wheat by the root.
30Suffer ye them both to wax into reaping time; and in the time of ripe corn, I shall say to the reapers, First gather ye together the tares, [or the darnels, or cockles], and bind them together in knitches, [or small bundles], to be burnt, but gather ye the wheat into my barn.
31Another parable Jesus put forth to them, and said, The kingdom of heavens is like to a corn of sinapi, which a man took, and sowed in his field.
32Which [truly] is the least of all seeds, but when it hath waxen, it is the most of all worts, and is made a tree; so that [the] birds of the air come, and dwell in the boughs [or the branches] thereof.
33Another parable Jesus spake to them [or He spake another parable to them], The kingdom of heavens is like to sourdough, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it were all soured.
34Jesus spake all these things in parables to the people, and he spake not to them without parables,
35that it should be fulfilled, that is said by the prophet, saying, I shall open my mouth in parables; I shall tell out hid things [or things hid] from the making of the world.
36Then he left the people, and came into an house; and his disciples came to him, and said, Expound to us the parable of the tares, [or the darnels, or cockles], of the field.
37Which answered, and said, He that soweth good seed is man’s Son;
38the field is the world; but the good seed, these be the sons of the kingdom, but tares, these be evil children, [or forsooth darnels, or cockles, these be evil sons or sons of the wicked];
39the enemy that soweth them is the fiend [or the devil]; and the ripe corn is the ending of the world, the reapers be angels.
40Therefore as tares, [or darnels, or cockles], be gathered together, and be burnt in [the] fire, so it shall be in the ending of the world.
41Man’s Son shall send his angels, and they shall gather from his realm all causes of stumbling, and them that do wickedness;
42and they shall send them into the chimney of fire; there shall be weeping, and beating together of teeth.
43Then just men shall shine as the sun, in the realm of their Father. He that hath ears of hearing, hear he.
44The kingdom of heavens is like to treasure hid in a field, which a man that findeth, hideth; and for joy of it he goeth, and selleth all things that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45Again the kingdom of heavens is like to a merchant, that seeketh good margarites [or good pearls];
46but when he hath found one precious margarite, he went, and sold all things that he had, and bought it.
47Again the kingdom of heavens is like to a net cast into the sea, and that gathereth together of all kinds of fishes;
48which when it was full, they drew it up, and sat by the brink, and chose the good into their vessels, but the evil they cast out.
49So it shall be in the end of the world. Angels shall go out, and shall separate evil men from the middle [or the midst] of just men.
50And they shall send them into the chimney of fire; there shall be weeping, and grinding of teeth.
51Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea.
52He saith to them, Therefore every wise man of [the] law [taught] in the kingdom of heavens, is like to an husbandman, that bringeth forth of his treasure new things and old.
53And it was done, when Jesus had ended these parables, he passed from thence.
54And he came into his country, and taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered, and said, From whence this wisdom and virtues came to this? [or to him?]
55Whether this is not the son of a carpenter? Whether his mother be not said Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56and his sisters, whether they all be not among us? From whence then all these things come or came to this? [or to him?]
57And so they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and in his own house.
58And he did not there many virtues, for the unbelief of them.
