Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
1In illo die exiens Jesus de domo, sedebat secus mare.
2Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.
2Et congregatæ sunt ad eum turbæ multæ, ita ut naviculam ascendens sederet: et omnis turba stabat in littore,
3And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
3et locutus est eis multa in parabolis, dicens: Ecce exiit qui seminat, seminare.
4And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
4Et dum seminat, quædam ceciderunt secus viam, et venerunt volucres cæli, et comederunt ea.
5Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
5Alia autem ceciderunt in petrosa, ubi non habebant terram multam: et continuo exorta sunt, quia non habebant altitudinem terræ:
6But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
6sole autem orto æstuaverunt; et quia non habebant radicem, aruerunt.
7Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.
7Alia autem ceciderunt in spinas: et creverunt spinæ, et suffocaverunt ea.
8Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.
8Alia autem ceciderunt in terram bonam: et dabant fructum, aliud centesimum, aliud sexagesimum, aliud trigesimum.
9He who has ears, let him hear.”
9Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
10Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”
10Et accedentes discipuli dixerunt ei: Quare in parabolis loqueris eis?
11He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
11Qui respondens, ait illis: Quia vobis datum est nosse mysteria regni cælorum: illis autem non est datum.
12Whoever 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.
12Qui enim habet, dabitur ei, et abundabit: qui autem non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.
13This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’
13Ideo in parabolis loquor eis: quia videntes non vident, et audientes non audiunt, neque intelligunt.
14In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
14Et adimpletur in eis prophetia Isaiæ, dicentis: [Auditu audietis, et non intelligetis: et videntes videbitis, et non videbitis.
15For 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.’
15Incrassatum est enim cor populi hujus, et auribus graviter audierunt, et oculos suos clauserunt: nequando videant oculis, et auribus audiant, et corde intelligant, et convertantur, et sanem eos.]
16But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
16Vestri autem beati oculi quia vident, et aures vestræ quia audiunt.
17For 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.
17Amen quippe dico vobis, quia multi prophetæ et justi cupierunt videre quæ videtis, et non viderunt: et audire quæ auditis, et non audierunt.
18Consider, then, the parable of the sower:
18Vos ergo audite parabolam seminantis.
19When 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.
19Omnis qui audit verbum regni, et non intelligit, venit malus, et rapit quod seminatum est in corde ejus: hic est qui secus viam seminatus est.
20The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
20Qui autem super petrosa seminatus est, hic est qui verbum audit, et continuo cum gaudio accipit illud:
21But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
21non habet autem in se radicem, sed est temporalis: facta autem tribulatione et persecutione propter verbum, continuo scandalizatur.
22The 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.
22Qui autem seminatus est in spinis, hic est qui verbum audit, et sollicitudo sæculi istius, et fallacia divitiarum suffocat verbum, et sine fructu efficitur.
23But 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.”
23Qui vero in terram bonam seminatus est, hic est qui audit verbum, et intelligit, et fructum affert, et facit aliud quidem centesimum, aliud autem sexagesimum, aliud vero trigesimum.
24Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
24Aliam parabolam proposuit illis, dicens: Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini, qui seminavit bonum semen in agro suo:
25But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.
25cum autem dormirent homines, venit inimicus ejus, et superseminavit zizania in medio tritici, et abiit.
26When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.
26Cum autem crevisset herba, et fructum fecisset, tunc apparuerunt et zizania.
27The 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?’
27Accedentes autem servi patrisfamilias, dixerunt ei: Domine, nonne bonum semen seminasti in agro tuo? unde ergo habet zizania?
28‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
28Et ait illis: Inimicus homo hoc fecit. Servi autem dixerunt ei: Vis, imus, et colligimus ea?
29‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.
29Et ait: Non: ne forte colligentes zizania, eradicetis simul cum eis et triticum.
30Let 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.’”
30Sinite utraque crescere usque ad messem, et in tempore messis dicam messoribus: Colligite primum zizania, et alligate ea in fasciculos ad comburendum: triticum autem congregate in horreum meum.
31He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.
31Aliam parabolam proposuit eis dicens: Simile est regnum cælorum grano sinapis, quod accipiens homo seminavit in agro suo:
32Although 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.”
32quod minimum quidem est omnibus seminibus: cum autem creverit, majus est omnibus oleribus, et fit arbor, ita ut volucres cæli veniant, et habitent in ramis ejus.
33He 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.”
33Aliam parabolam locutus est eis: Simile est regnum cælorum fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinæ satis tribus, donec fermentatum est totum.
34Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.
34Hæc omnia locutus est Jesus in parabolis ad turbas: et sine parabolis non loquebatur eis:
35So 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.”
35ut impleretur quod dictum erat per prophetam dicentem: Aperiam in parabolis os meum; eructabo abscondita a constitutione mundi.
36Then 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.”
36Tunc, dimissis turbis, venit in domum: et accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, dicentes: Edissere nobis parabolam zizaniorum agri.
37He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
37Qui respondens ait illis: Qui seminat bonum semen, est Filius hominis.
38The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
38Ager autem est mundus. Bonum vero semen, hi sunt filii regnum. Zizania autem, filii sunt nequam.
39and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
39Inimicus autem, qui seminavit ea, est diabolus. Messis vero, consummatio sæculi est. Messores autem, angeli sunt.
40As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.
40Sicut ergo colliguntur zizania, et igni comburuntur: sic erit in consummatione sæculi.
41The 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.
41Mittet Filius hominis angelos suos, et colligent de regno ejus omnia scandala, et eos qui faciunt iniquitatem:
42And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
42et mittent eos in caminum ignis. Ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.
43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
43Tunc justi fulgebunt sicut sol in regno Patris eorum. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
44The 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.
44Simile est regnum cælorum thesauro abscondito in agro: quem qui invenit homo, abscondit, et præ gaudio illius vadit, et vendit universa quæ habet, et emit agrum illum.
45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.
45Iterum simile est regnum cælorum homini negotiatori, quærenti bonas margaritas.
46When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.
46Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quæ habuit, et emit eam.
47Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.
47Iterum simile est regnum cælorum sagenæ missæ in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti.
48When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.
48Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt.
49So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous,
49Sic erit in consummatione sæculi: exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio justorum,
50and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
50et mittent eos in caminum ignis: ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium.
51Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.
51Intellexistis hæc omnia? Dicunt ei: Etiam.
52Then 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.”
52Ait illis: Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno cælorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera.
53When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.
53Et factum est, cum consummasset Jesus parabolas istas, transiit inde.
54Coming 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.
54Et veniens in patriam suam, docebat eos in synagogis eorum, ita ut mirarentur, et dicerent: Unde huic sapientia hæc, et virtutes?
55“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
55Nonne hic est fabri filius? nonne mater ejus dicitur Maria, et fratres ejus, Jacobus, et Joseph, et Simon, et Judas?
56Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”
56et sorores ejus, nonne omnes apud nos sunt? unde ergo huic omnia ista?
57And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
57Et scandalizabantur in eo. Jesus autem dixit eis: Non est propheta sine honore, nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua.
58And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
58Et non fecit ibi virtutes multas propter incredulitatem illorum.
