¹And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

¹In zopet začne učiti ob morju. In zbere se pri njem tako velika množica, da mora stopiti v ladjo in sedeti v njej na morju; in vsa množica se razpostavi kraj morja po tleh.

²And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

²In mnogo jih je učil v prilikah in jim pravil v poučevanju svojem:

³Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

³Poslušajte! Glej, sejalec gre sejat.

⁴And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

⁴In zgodi se, ko seje, da pade nekaj zrnja poleg ceste, in prilete ptice in ga pozobljejo.

⁵And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

⁵A drugo pade na skalnata tla, kjer nima veliko prsti, in precej požene, ker nima globoke zemlje.

⁶But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

⁶Ko pa vzide solnce, uvene, in ker nima korenine, usahne.

⁷And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

⁷In drugo pade v trnje, in trnje vzraste in ga uduši, in ne prinese sadu.

⁸And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

⁸In drugo pade na dobro zemljo, in prinaša sad, ki raste in se množi in rodi po tridesetero in po šestdesetero in po stotero.

⁹And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹In reče: Kdor ima ušesa, da sliši, naj sliši!

¹⁰And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

¹⁰In ko je bil sam, ga vprašajo tisti, ki so bili pri njem z dvanajsterimi, po prilikah.

¹¹And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

¹¹In jim reče: Vam je dana skrivnost kraljestva Božjega, onim pa, ki so zunaj, se vse godi v prilikah,

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.

¹²da „gledajoč vidijo, pa ne spoznajo, ter poslušajoč slišijo, pa ne razumejo: da se ne bi kdaj izpreobrnili, in bilo bi jim odpuščeno“.

¹³And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

¹³In jim reče: Ne umete li te prilike? In kako boste vse prilike umeli?

¹⁴The sower soweth the word.

¹⁴Sejalec seje besedo.

¹⁵And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

¹⁵Ti so pa, ki so poleg ceste: kjer se seje beseda, in ko jo slišijo, precej pride satan in vzame besedo, ki je posejana vanje.

¹⁶And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

¹⁶In enako so ti, pri katerih je posejano na skalnata tla: ko slišijo besedo, jo precej z veseljem sprejmo;

¹⁷And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

¹⁷pa nimajo korenine v sebi, temuč so nestanovitni; ko potem nastane stiska ali preganjanje zaradi besede, se precej pohujšajo.

¹⁸And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

¹⁸In drugi so, pri katerih je posejano v trnje: tisti, ki besedo slišijo,

¹⁹And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

¹⁹pa skrbi tega sveta in slepilo bogastva in želje po drugih rečeh se prikradejo in zaduše besedo in ostane brez sadu.

²⁰And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

²⁰In ti so, pri katerih je na dobro zemljo posejano: ki besedo poslušajo in sprejemajo ter prinašajo sad, trideseteren, šestdeseteren in stoteren.

²¹And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

²¹In jim reče: Se li mar prinaša sveča, da se postavi pod mernik ali pod posteljo? A ne, da se postavi na svečnik?

²²For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

²²Kajti nič ni skritega, kar se ne bi razodelo, in nič ni tako skrivnega, da ne bi prišlo na svetlo.

²³If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

²³Če ima kdo ušesa, da sliši, naj sliši!

²⁴And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

²⁴In jim reče: Pomislite, kaj slišite! S kakršno mero merite, se odmeri vam in še pridene se vam.

²⁵For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

²⁵Kajti kdor ima, se mu bo dalo, a kdor nima, se mu odvzame tudi to, kar ima.

²⁶And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

²⁶In reče: Tako je s kraljestvom Božjim, kakor če človek vrže seme v zemljo,

²⁷And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

²⁷in spi in vstaja po noči in po dnevi, in seme poganja in raste, da on ne ve kako.

²⁸For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

²⁸Zemlja sama od sebe rodi sad: najprej steblo, potem klas, potem polno pšenico v klasu.

²⁹But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

²⁹Ko pa sad dozori, precej pošlje srp, kajti prišla je žetev.

³⁰And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

³⁰In reče: S čim naj primerjamo kraljestvo Božje? ali v kakšni priliki naj ga upodobimo?

³¹It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

³¹Ono je kakor gorčično zrno, ki je, ko se vseje v zemljo, manjše od vseh semen na zemlji,

³²But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

³²a ko je vsejano, raste in postane večje od vseh zelišč, in poganja velike veje, da morejo ptice nebeške gnezditi pod senco njegovo.

³³And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

³³In v mnogih takih prilikah jim je govoril besedo, v kolikor so jo mogli poslušati.

³⁴But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

³⁴Brez prilike pa jim ni govoril, a na samem je učencem svojim razlagal vse.

³⁵And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

³⁵In jim reče tisti dan, ko se je zvečerilo: Prepeljimo se na oni kraj.

³⁶And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

³⁶In pusté množico ter ga vzemo s seboj, kakor je bil v ladji; tudi druge ladjice so bile ž njim.

³⁷And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

³⁷Kar nastane velik vihar, in valovi so se zaganjali v ladjo, da se je že napolnjevala.

³⁸And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

³⁸In on je bil na krmi, speč na blazini; in ga zbude in mu reko: Učenik, ali ti nič ni mar, da pogibljemo?

³⁹And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

³⁹In prebudivši se, zapreti vetru in reče morju: Umolkni, pomiri se! In preneha veter, in nastane velika tihota.

⁴⁰And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

⁴⁰In jim reče: Kaj ste tako plašni? ali še nimate vere?In velik strah jih obide, in govore med seboj: Kdo vendar je ta, da sta mu celo veter in morje pokorna?

⁴¹And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

⁴¹In velik strah jih obide, in govore med seboj: Kdo vendar je ta, da sta mu celo veter in morje pokorna?
