Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And again he began to teach by the sea side; and a great multitude was gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a ship, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude was upon the land by the sea side.
1Et iterum cœpit docere ad mare: et congregata est ad eum turba multa, ita ut navim ascendens sederet in mari, et omnis turba circa mare super terram erat:
2And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his doctrine:
2et docebat eos in parabolis multa, et dicebat illis in doctrina sua:
3Hear ye: Behold, the sower went out to sow.
3Audite: ecce exiit seminans ad seminandum.
4And whilst he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up.
4Et dum seminat, aliud cecidit circa viam, et venerunt volucres cæli, et comederunt illud.
5And other some fell upon stony ground, where it had not much earth; and it shot up immediately, because it had no depth of earth.
5Aliud vero cecidit super petrosa, ubi non habuit terram multam: et statim exortum est, quoniam non habebat altitudinem terræ:
6And when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
6et quando exortus est sol, exæstuavit: et eo quod non habebat radicem, exaruit.
7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
7Et aliud cecidit in spinas: et ascenderunt spinæ, et suffocaverunt illud, et fructum non dedit.
8And some fell upon good ground; and brought forth fruit that grew up, and increased and yielded, one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred.
8Et aliud cecidit in terram bonam: et dabat fructum ascendentem et crescentem, et afferebat unum triginta, unum sexaginta, et unum centum.
9And he said: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9Et dicebat: Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
10And when he was alone, the twelve that were with him asked him the parable.
10Et cum esset singularis, interrogaverunt eum hi qui cum eo erant duodecim, parabolam.
11And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are done in parables:
11Et dicebat eis: Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei: illis autem, qui foris sunt, in parabolis omnia fiunt:
12That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand: lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
12ut videntes videant, et non videant: et audientes audiant, et non intelligant: nequando convertantur, et dimittantur eis peccata.
13And he saith to them: Are you ignorant of this parable? and how shall you know all parables?
13Et ait illis: Nescitis parabolam hanc? Et quomodo omnes parabolas cognoscetis?
14He that soweth, soweth the word.
14Qui seminat, verbum seminat.
15And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown, and as soon as they have heard, immediately Satan cometh and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
15Hi autem sunt, qui circa viam, ubi seminatur verbum, et cum audierint, confestim venit Satanas, et aufert verbum, quod seminatum est in cordibus eorum.
16And these likewise are they that are sown on the stony ground: who when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
16Et hi sunt similiter, qui super petrosa seminantur: qui cum audierint verbum, statim cum gaudio accipiunt illud:
17And they have no root in themselves, but are only for a time: and then when tribulation and persecution ariseth for the word they are presently scandalized.
17et non habent radicem in se, sed temporales sunt: deinde orta tribulatione et persecutione propter verbum, confestim scandalizantur.
18And others there are who are sown among thorns: these are they that hear the word,
18Et alii sunt qui in spinas seminantur: hi sunt qui verbum audiunt,
19And the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts after other things entering in choke the word, and it is made fruitless.
19et ærumnæ sæculi, et deceptio divitiarum, et circa reliqua concupiscentiæ introëuntes suffocant verbum, et sine fructu efficitur.
20And these are they who are sown upon the good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and yield fruit, the one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred.
20Et hi sunt qui super terram bonam seminati sunt, qui audiunt verbum, et suscipiunt, et fructificant, unum triginta, unum sexaginta, et unum centum.
21And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
21Et dicebat illis: Numquid venit lucerna ut sub modo ponatur, aut sub lecto? nonne ut super candelabrum ponatur?
22For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad.
22Non est enim aliquid absconditum, quod non manifestetur: nec factum est occultum, sed ut in palam veniat.
23If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
23Si quis habet aures audiendi, audiat.
24And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you.
24Et dicebat illis: Videte quid audiatis. In qua mensura mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis, et adjicietur vobis.
25For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him.
25Qui enim habet, dabitur illi: et qui non habet, etiam quod habet auferetur ab eo.
26And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the earth,
26Et dicebat: Sic est regnum Dei, quemadmodum si homo jaciat sementem in terram,
27And should sleep, and rise, night and day, and the seed should spring, and grow up whilst he knoweth not.
27et dormiat, et exsurgat nocte et die, et semen germinet, et increscat dum nescit ille.
28For the earth of itself bringeth forth fruit, first the blade, then the ear, afterwards the full corn in the ear.
28Ultro enim terra fructificat, primum herbam, deinde spicam, deinde plenum frumentum in spica.
29And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
29Et cum produxerit fructus, statim mittit falcem, quoniam adest messis.
30And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it?
30Et dicebat: Cui assimilabimus regnum Dei? aut cui parabolæ comparabimus illud?
31It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth:
31Sicut granum sinapis, quod cum seminatum fuerit in terra, minus est omnibus seminibus, quæ sunt in terra:
32And when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may dwell under the shadow thereof.
32et cum seminatum fuerit, ascendit, et fit majus omnibus oleribus, et facit ramos magnos, ita ut possint sub umbra ejus aves cæli habitare.
33And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according as they were able to hear.
33Et talibus multis parabolis loquebatur eis verbum, prout poterant audire:
34And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he explained all things to his disciples.
34sine parabola autem non loquebatur eis: seorsum autem discipulis suis disserebat omnia.
35And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass over to the other side.
35Et ait illis in illa die, cum sero esset factum: Transeamus contra.
36And sending away the multitude, they take him even as he was in the ship: and there were other ships with him.
36Et dimittentes turbam, assumunt eum ita ut erat in navi: et aliæ naves erant cum illo.
37And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that the ship was filled.
37Et facta est procella magna venti, et fluctus mittebat in navim, ita ut impleretur navis.
38And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth it not concern thee that we perish?
38Et erat ipse in puppi super cervical dormiens: et excitant eum, et dicunt illi: Magister, non ad te pertinet, quia perimus?
39And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm.
39Et exsurgens comminatus est vento, et dixit mari: Tace, obmutesce. Et cessavit ventus: et facta est tranquillitas magna.
40And he said to them: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet? And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this (thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey him?
40Et ait illis: Quid timidi estis? necdum habetis fidem? et timuerunt timore magno, et dicebant ad alterutrum: Quis, putas, est iste, quia et ventus et mare obediunt ei?
