¹And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.

¹A zase započal učiť pri mori. A shromaždil sa k nemu veliký zástup, takže vošiel do lode a sedel na mori, a všetok zástup bol pri mori na zemi.

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

²A učil ich mnohému v podobenstvách a hovoril im vo svojom učení:

³Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:

³Počujte! Hľa, vyšiel rozsievač, aby rozsieval.

⁴and it came to pass, as he sowed, some [seed] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it.

⁴A stalo sa v tom, ako rozsieval, že jedno padlo vedľa cesty. A prileteli nebeskí vtáci a sozobali ho.

⁵And other fell on the rocky [ground], where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth:

⁵A iné padlo na skalnaté miesto, kde nemalo mnoho zeme, a hneď vzišlo, lebo nemalo hlbokosti zeme.

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

⁶Ale keď vyšlo slnce, vyhorelo a preto, že nemalo koreňa, vyschlo.

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

⁷A zase iné padlo do tŕnia, a vzišlo tŕnie a udusilo ho, a nedalo užitku.

⁸And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.

⁸A opät iné padlo do dobrej zeme a vydalo užitok vzchádzajúc a rastúc, a donieslo niektoré tridsať, niektoré šesťdesiat a niektoré sto.

⁹And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹A hovoril im: Kto má uši nato, aby počul, nech počuje!

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

¹⁰A keď bol sám, opýtali sa ho tí, ktorí boli okolo neho, s tými dvanástimi, na tie podobenstvá.

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

¹¹A povedal im: Vám je dané poznať tajomstvo kráľovstva Božieho; ale tamtým vonku deje sa všetko v podobenstvách,

¹²that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them.

¹²aby hľadiac hľadeli, ale nevideli, a čujúc počuli, ale nerozumeli, aby sa asnáď neobrátili, a odpustily by sa im hriechy.

¹³And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables?

¹³A rečie im: Či nerozumiete tomu podobenstvu? A jakože potom porozumiete všetkým podobenstvám?

¹⁴The sower soweth the word.

¹⁴Rozsievač seje slovo.

¹⁵And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them.

¹⁵A toto sú tí vedľa cesty, kde sa seje slovo, ktorí, keď počujú, hneď ide satan a vyníma slovo, vsiate v ich srdciach.

¹⁶And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky [places], who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;

¹⁶A podobne sú tí, ktorí sa sejú na skalnatých miestach, ktorí, keď počujú slovo, hneď ho s radosťou berú,

¹⁷and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.

¹⁷lež nemajú v sebe koreňa, ale sú dočasní; a potom, keď nastane súženie alebo prenasledovanie pre slovo, hneď sa horšia.

¹⁸And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,

¹⁸A sú iní, ktorí sa sejú do tŕnia; to sú takí, ktorí počuli slovo,

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

¹⁹ale starosti tohoto sveta a zvod bohatstva a iné žiadosti, vchádzajúce do srdca, udusujú slovo, a býva bez užitku.

²⁰And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.

²⁰A zase tamtí, ktorí sťa na dobrej zemi sú posiati, sú takí, ktorí počúvajú slovo a prijímajú ho a donášajú užitok: niektoré tridsať, niektoré šesťdesiat a niektoré sto.

²¹And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, [and] not to be put on the stand?

²¹A vravel im: Či azda ide svieca nato, aby ju postavili pod nádobu alebo pod posteľ a či nie nato, aby ju postavili na svietnik?

²²For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was [anything] made secret, but that it should come to light.

²²Lebo nič nie je tak skryté, čo by nemalo byť zjavené, ani nebolo ukryté, ale tiež iba nato, aby vyšlo na javo.

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

²³Ak má niekto uši nato, aby počul, nech počuje!

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

²⁴A vravel im: Vidzte, čo čujete! Jakou mierou meriate, takou vám bude odmerané a pridané bude vám počúvajúcim.

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

²⁵Lebo kto má, tomu bude dané, a kto nemá, od toho sa vezme i to, čo nemá.

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

²⁶A vravel: S kráľovstvom Božím je to tak, ako keby človek hodil semä na zem

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

²⁷a spával by a vstával vodne i vnoci, a semä by vzchádzalo a rástlo, že sám nevie ako;

²⁸The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

²⁸lebo zem donáša úrodu sama od seba, najprv bylinu, potom klas a potom plné ovocie v klase.

²⁹But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come.

²⁹A keď dozreje plod, hneď pošle srp, lebo sa dostanovila žatva.

³⁰And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?

³⁰A vravel: Čomu máme pripodobniť kráľovstvo Božie? Alebo jakým podobenstvom ho máme zobraziť?

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

³¹Je ako horčičné zrno, ktoré, keď sa poseje na zem, je menšie od všetkých semien, ktoré sú na zemi;

³²yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.

³²ale keď sa zaseje, vzchádza a býva väčšie od všetkých zelín a ženie veliké letorasty, takže pod jeho tôňou môžu si nebeskí vtáci robiť hniezda.

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

³³A mnohými takými podobenstvami im hovoril slovo, tak ako mohli počuť.

³⁴and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.

³⁴No, bez podobenstva im nehovoril, ale osobitne vykladal svojim učeníkom všetko.

³⁵And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side.

³⁵A riekol im toho dňa, keď už bol večer: Prejdime na druhú stranu!

³⁶And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.

³⁶A zanechajúc zástup vzali ho so sebou tak, ako bol na lodi. A boly s ním aj iné lode.

³⁷And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling.

³⁷Vtedy povstala veliká búrka od vetra, a vlny sa tak valily do lode, že sa až naplňovala.

³⁸And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?

³⁸A on bol v zálodí a spal na poduške. A zobudili ho a povedali mu: Učiteľu, či nedbáš, že hynieme?

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

³⁹A prebudiac sa pokarhal vietor a povedal moru: Mlč, umĺkni! A prestal vietor, a nastalo veľké ticho.

⁴⁰And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?

⁴⁰A povedal im: Čo ste takí bojazliví? Či ešte nemáte viery?

⁴¹And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

⁴¹A veľmi sa báli a hovorili jeden druhému: Ktože je tento, že ho i vietor i more poslúchajú?!
