¹An devezh-se, Jezuz, o vezañ aet er-maez eus an ti, a azezas e-tal ar mor.

¹On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.

²Ur bobl vras o vezañ en em zastumet en e gichen, e pignas en ur vag hag ec'h azezas; an holl bobl a chomas war an aod.

²Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the multitude stood on the beach.

³Komz a reas dezho dre barabolennoù war galz a draoù, hag e lavaras:

³He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.

⁴Setu, un hader a yeas er-maez da hadañ; hag evel ma hade, ul lodenn eus an had a gouezhas a-hed an hent, hag al laboused a zeuas hag he debras holl.

⁴ As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.

⁵Ul lodenn all a gouezhas war ul lec'h meinek, e-lec'h ma oa nebeut a zouar; ha kerkent e savas, abalamour ne oa ket aet don en douar;

⁵ Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.

⁶met pa zeuas an heol, e voe devet, ha dre ma ne oa ket a wrizienn, e sec'has.

⁶ When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.

⁷Ul lodenn all a gouezhas e-touez ar spern; hag ar spern a greskas hag he mougas.

⁷ Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.

⁸Ul lodenn all a gouezhas en douar mat hag e roas frouezh, ur c'hreunenn kant, unan all tri-ugent, hag unan all tregont.

⁸ Others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.

⁹Ra selaouo, an neb en deus divskouarn da glevout.

⁹ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

¹⁰E ziskibien a dostaas, hag a lavaras dezhañ: Perak e komzez outo dre barabolennoù?

¹⁰The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”

¹¹Jezuz a respontas dezho: Dre ma'z eo roet deoc'h-hu da anavezout traoù kuzhet rouantelezh an neñvoù, ha ma n'eo ket roet kement-se dezho.

¹¹He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.

¹²Rak roet e vo d'an neb en deus, hag en devo a-fonn; met an hini n'en deus ket, e vo lamet digantañ memes ar pezh en deus.

¹² For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

¹³Rak-se e komzan dezho dre barabolennoù, abalamour o welout ne welont ket, hag o klevout ne glevont ha ne gomprenont ket.

¹³ Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.

¹⁴Evito eo peurc'hraet an diougan-mañ lavaret gant Izaia: C'hwi a glevo gant ho tivskouarn, ha ne gomprenot ket. C'hwi a sello gant ho taoulagad, ha ne welot ket.

¹⁴ In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive:

¹⁵Rak kalon ar bobl-mañ a zo deuet digizidik; pounnerglevet o deus o divskouarn, ha serret o deus o daoulagad, gant aon na zeufe o daoulagad da welout, o divskouarn da glevout, o c'halon da gompren, ha na yac'hafen anezho.

¹⁵ for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and should turn again; and I would heal them.’ Isaiah 6:9-10

¹⁶Eürus eo ho taoulagad, abalamour ma welont, hag ho tivskouarn, abalamour ma klevont.

¹⁶ “But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.

¹⁷Rak, me a lavar deoc'h e gwirionez, kalz a brofeded hag a dud reizh o deus c'hoantaet gwelout ar pezh a welit, ha n'o deus ket e welet, ha klevout ar pezh a glevit, ha n'o deus ket e glevet.

¹⁷ For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.

¹⁸Selaouit eta ar pezh a dalv parabolenn an hader.

¹⁸ “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.

¹⁹Pa selaou un den ger ar rouantelezh ha pa ne gompren ket anezhañ, an hini fall a zeu hag a skrap ar pezh a zo bet hadet en e galon: hennezh eo an hini en deus degemeret an had a-hed an hent.

¹⁹ When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

²⁰An hini en deus degemeret an had el lec'hioù meinek, eo an hini a glev ar ger hag e zegemer kerkent gant joa;

²⁰ What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;

²¹met n'en deus ket a wrizienn ennañ e-unan, ha ne bad nemet ur pennad; dre-se, pa zeu ar glac'har pe an heskinerezh abalamour d'ar ger, e kav kerkent skouer fall.

²¹ yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

²²An hini en deus degemeret an had e-touez an drein, eo an hini a glev ar ger; met prederioù ar bed-mañ ha tromplerezh ar pinvidigezhioù, a voug ar ger, hag e laka difrouezh.

²² What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

²³An hini en deus degemeret an had en douar mat, eo an hini a glev ar ger hag en kompren; dougen a ra frouezh, ur c'hreunenn a ro kant, unan all tri-ugent, hag unan all tregont.

²³ What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”

²⁴Kinnig a reas dezho ur barabolenn all, hag e lavaras: Rouantelezh an neñvoù a zo heñvel ouzh un den en deus hadet had mat en e bark.

²⁴He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,

²⁵Met, e-pad ma oa kousket an dud, e enebour a zeuas, a hadas dreog e-touez an ed, hag a yeas kuit.

²⁵ but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds darnel is a weed grass (probably bearded darnel or lolium temulentum) that looks very much like wheat until it is mature, when the difference becomes very apparent. also among the wheat, and went away.

²⁶Pa voe kresket ar geot, ha deuet e frouezh, neuze en em ziskouezas ivez an dreog.

²⁶ But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.

²⁷Mevelien mestr an ti a zeuas da lavarout dezhañ: Aotrou, ha ne'c'h eus ket hadet had mat ez park? Penaos eta ez eus dreog ennañ?

²⁷ The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?’

²⁸Eñ a respontas dezho: Un enebour din en deus graet kement-se. Ar vevelien a lavaras dezhañ: Fellout a ra dit ec'h afemp d'e dennañ?

²⁸ “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’

²⁹Nann, emezañ dezho, gant aon o tennañ an dreog, na ziwriziennfec'h ivez an ed.

²⁹ “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.

³⁰Lezit o-daou da greskiñ betek an eost; ha da amzer an eost, e lavarin d'ar vederien: Tennit da gentañ an dreog hag en endrammit evit e zeviñ, met dastumit an ed em solier.

³⁰ Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

³¹Kinnig a reas dezho ur barabolenn all, hag e lavaras: Rouantelezh an neñvoù a zo heñvel ouzh ur c'hreunenn sezo a gemer un den hag a had en e bark;

³¹He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field;

³²ar bihanañ eus an holl hadoù eo, met pa'z eo kresket, ez eo brasoc'h eget al louzoù hag e teu da vezañ ur wezenn, en hevelep doare ma teu laboused an neñv da chom en he brankoù.

³² which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.”

³³Lavarout a reas dezho ar barabolenn all-mañ: Rouantelezh a neñvoù a zo heñvel ouzh ur goell a gemer ur wreg, hag a laka e tri muzuliad bleud, betek ma vo an toaz goet holl.

³³He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures literally, three sata. 3 sata is about 39 litres or a bit more than a bushel of meal, until it was all leavened.”

³⁴Jezuz a lavaras an holl draoù-se d'ar bobl e parabolennoù, ha ne gomze ket outo hep parabolenn,

³⁴Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,

³⁵evit ma vije peurc'hraet ar pezh a oa bet lavaret gant ar profed: Digeriñ a rin va genou gant parabolennoù, disklêriañ a rin traoù kuzhet abaoe krouidigezh ar bed.

³⁵that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.” Psalm 78:2

³⁶Neuze Jezuz, o vezañ kaset kuit ar bobl, a zeuas en ti. E ziskibien a dostaas outañ, o lavarout: Displeg deomp parabolenn dreog ar park.

³⁶Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”

³⁷Eñ a respontas dezho: An hini a had an had mat, eo Mab an den;

³⁷He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,

³⁸ar park eo ar bed; an had mat eo bugale ar rouantelezh; an dreog eo bugale an droug;

³⁸ the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.

³⁹an enebour en deus e hadet, eo an diaoul; an eost, eo fin ar bed; ar vederien, eo an aeled

³⁹ The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

⁴⁰Evel ma tenner an dreog, ha ma e daoler en tan, evel-se e c'hoarvezo e fin ar bed.

⁴⁰ As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.

⁴¹Mab an den a gaso e aeled da dennañ eus e rouantelezh an holl skouerioù fall hag ar re a ra an droug,

⁴¹ The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,

⁴²hag e taolint anezho en ur forn-dan, e-lec'h ma vo goueladegoù ha grigoñsadegoù-dent.

⁴² and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

⁴³Neuze an dud reizh a lugerno evel an heol e rouantelezh o Zad. Ra selaouo, an neb en deus divskouarn da glevout.

⁴³ Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

⁴⁴Rouantelezh an neñvoù a zo c'hoazh heñvel ouzh un teñzor kuzhet en ur park. Pa gav un den anezhañ, en kuzh; hag en e laouenañ, ez a da werzhañ kement en deus, hag e pren ar park-se.

⁴⁴ “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

⁴⁵Rouantelezh an neñvoù a zo c'hoazh heñvel ouzh ur marc'hadour a glask perlez kaer.

⁴⁵ “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,

⁴⁶Kavet en deus ur berlezenn brizius-meurbet; mont a reas da werzhañ kement en devoa, hag en deus he frenet.

⁴⁶ who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

⁴⁷Rouantelezh an neñvoù a zo c'hoazh heñvel ouzh ur roued taolet er mor, hag a zastum pesked a bep seurt.

⁴⁷ “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,

⁴⁸Pa'z eo leun, e tenner anezhi war an aod; goude bezañ azezet, e lakaont ar re vat e listri, hag e taolont kuit ar re fall.

⁴⁸ which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.

⁴⁹Evel-se e c'hoarvezo e fin ar bed; an aeled a zeuio hag a zispartio ar re drouk eus a-douez ar re reizh,

⁴⁹ So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous,

⁵⁰hag e taolint anezho en ur forn-dan, e-lec'h ma vo goueladegoù ha grigoñsadegoù-dent.

⁵⁰ and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.”

⁵¹Ha komprenet mat hoc'h eus an holl draoù-se? Ya, a respontjont.

⁵¹Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”

⁵²Hag e lavaras dezho: Dre-se, kement skrib desket diwar-benn ar pezh a sell ouzh rouantelezh an neñvoù, a zo heñvel ouzh ur penn-tiegezh a denn traoù nevez ha traoù kozh eus e deñzor.

⁵²He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”

⁵³Goude m'en devoe Jezuz peurlavaret ar barabolennoù-se, ez eas kuit ac'hano.

⁵³It happened that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.

⁵⁴O vezañ deuet en e vro, e kelenne anezho er sinagogenn, en hevelep doare ma oant souezhet ha ma lavarent: A belec'h e teu dezhañ ar furnez hag ar mirakloù-se?

⁵⁴Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?

⁵⁵Ha n'eo ket mab ar c'halvez? Ha n'eo ket Mari eo e vamm? Jakez, Jozez, Simon ha Jud, ha n'int ket e vreudeur?

⁵⁵Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, Joses, Simon, and Judas or, Judah ?

⁵⁶E c'hoarezed, ha n'emaint ket holl en hon touez? A belec'h eta e teu dezhañ an holl draoù-se?

⁵⁶Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”

⁵⁷Hag e kavent tamall ennañ. Met Jezuz a lavaras dezho: Ur profed n'eo disprizet nemet en e vro hag en e di e-unan.

⁵⁷They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house.”

⁵⁸Ne reas ket kalz a virakloù el lec'h-se, abalamour d'o diskredoni.

⁵⁸He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
