¹Ass-nni kan, Sidna Ɛisa yeffeɣ-ed seg wexxam, iṛuḥ ad iqqim rrif n lebḥeṛ,

¹And that [same] day Jesus went out from the house and sat down by the sea.

²d izumal n lɣaci i s-d-izzin, dɣa yuli ɣer teflukt, yeqqim. LLɣaci ibedd ɣef rrif n lebḥeṛ,

²And great crowds were gathered together to him, so that going on board ship himself he sat down, and the whole crowd stood on the shore.

³nețța yebda isselmad-iten s lemtul iqqaṛ-asen : Yiwen ufellaḥ yeffeɣ ad izreɛ.

³And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went out to sow:

⁴Mi gzerreɛ, ɣlin-as kra n iɛeqqayen rrif n webrid, usan-d igṭaṭ ( ifṛax igenni ) ččan-ten.

⁴and as he sowed, some [grains] fell along the way, and the birds came and devoured them;

⁵Kra iɛeqqayen nniḍen ɣlin deg wakal yeččuṛen d izṛa, mɣin-d s lemɣawla axaṭer ulac aṭas n wakal.

⁵and others fell upon the rocky places where they had not much earth, and immediately they sprang up out of [the ground] because of not having [any] depth of earth,

⁶Mi gebda wezɣal, yezlef imɣan nni dɣa qquṛen, axaṭer ur sɛin ara izuṛan lqayen.

⁶but when the sun rose they were burned up, and because of not having [any] root were dried up;

⁷Kra iɛeqqayen nniḍen ɣlin ger isennanen. Isennanen-nni gman dɣa ɣummen-ten.

⁷and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them;

⁸Meɛna kra iɛeqqayen ɣlin deg wakal yelhan : fkan-d tigedrin, ta tefka-d meyya iɛeqqayen, ta sețțin, tayeḍ tlatin.

⁸and others fell upon the good ground, and produced fruit, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.

⁹Win yesɛan imeẓẓuɣen isel-ed !

⁹He that has ears, let him hear.

¹⁰Inelmaden-is qeṛṛben ɣuṛ-es, nnan-as : Acimi i sen-theddṛeḍ s lemtul ?

¹⁰And the disciples came up and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?

¹¹Yerra-yasen : Kunwi yețțunefk-awen-d aț țissinem lbaḍna n tgelda igenwan, ma d wiyaḍ, ur sen-d-ițțunefk ara.

¹¹And he answering said to them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it is not given;

¹²Axaṭer win yesɛan a s-d-nernu alamma yella di tawant, ma d win ur nesɛi ara, a s-nekkes ula d ayen yesɛa.

¹²for whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall be caused to be in abundance; but he who has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him.

¹³Daymi i sen-țmeslayeɣ s lemtul, axaṭer țmuqulen ur țwalin, țḥessisen ur sellen, ur fehhmen.

¹³For this cause I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear nor understand;

¹⁴S wakka, yedṛa-d yid-sen wayen i d-ixebbeṛ fell-asen nnbi Iceɛya : Aț-țsellem s imeẓẓuɣen-nwen, ur tfehhmem ara, aț-țmuqulem s wallen-nwen, ur tețwalim ara,

¹⁴and in them is filled up the prophecy of Esaias, which says, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and beholding ye shall behold and not see;

¹⁵Imi agdud-agi qquṛen wulawen-nsen, qeflen imeẓẓuɣen- sen, qqnen allen-nsen, iwakken ur țwalin, ur sellen ; sseɣṛen ulawen nsen, ugin ad fehmen, axaṭer lemmer tuben, uɣalen-d ɣer webrid, tili sseḥlaɣ ten.

¹⁵for the heart of this people has grown fat, and they have heard heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes as asleep, lest they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

¹⁶Ma d kunwi amarezg-nwen ! Axaṭer allen-nwen țwalint, imeẓẓuɣen nwen sellen.

¹⁶But blessed are *your* eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear;

¹⁷Aql-i nniɣ-awen tideț, aṭas si lenbiya akk-d imdanen iḥeqqiyen i gebɣan ad walin ayen tețwalim, ur t-walan, ad slen ayen tsellem, ur t-slin.

¹⁷for verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see the things which ye behold and did not see [them], and to hear the things which ye hear and did not hear [them].

¹⁸A wen-d-iniɣ lmeɛna n lemtel n win izerrɛen :

¹⁸*Ye*, therefore, hear the parable of the sower.

¹⁹m'ara isel wemdan i wawal yeɛnan tageldit n igenwan, ur t-yefhim ara, ițemcabi ɣer yiri n webrid i ɣer tɣelli zzerriɛa ; d Cciṭan i d-ițasen ad iqleɛ ayen izerɛen deg ul-is.

¹⁹From every one who hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand [it], the wicked one comes and catches away what was sown in his heart: this is he that is sown by the wayside.

²⁰Wayeḍ ițemcabi ɣer wakal-nni yeččuṛen d izṛa anda teɣli zzerriɛa. M'ara isel i wawal n Ṛebbi, iqebbel-it s lfeṛḥ,

²⁰But he that is sown on the rocky places -- this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,

²¹meɛna ur t-yețțaǧǧa ara ad iger izuṛan deg-s, ur yețțaṭṭaf ara. MM'ara d-tass lmeḥna neɣ aqehheṛ ɣef ddemma n wawal n Ṛebbi, ad yeǧǧ imiren kan liman-is.

²¹but has no root in himself, but is for a time only; and when tribulation or persecution happens on account of the word, he is immediately offended.

²²Wayeḍ daɣen ițemcabi ɣer zzerriɛa yeɣlin ger isennanen. M'ara isel i wawal n Ṛebbi, iɣeblan n ddunit d ṭṭmeɛ n rrbeḥ țɣummun awal-nni, dɣa ur d-ițțak ara lfakya.

²²And he that is sown among the thorns -- this is he who hears the word, and the anxious care of this life, and the deceit of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

²³Wayeḍ icuba daɣen ɣer zzerriɛa yeɣlin deg wakal yelhan, m'ara isel i wawal n Ṛebbi, ifehhem-it, daymi i d-ițțak lfakya ! YYal aɛeqqa ițțak-ed : wa tlatin, wa sețțin, wa meyya n tɛeqqayin.

²³But he that is sown upon the good ground -- this is he who hears and understands the word, who bears fruit also, and produces, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.

²⁴Sidna Ɛisa yefka-yasen-d lemtel nniḍen : Tagelda n igenwan tcuba ɣer yiwen wergaz i gzerɛen irden deg iger-is.

²⁴Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has become like a man sowing good seed in his field;

²⁵Yiwen yiḍ mi ṭṭsen akk medden, yusa-d weɛdaw-is izreɛ aẓekkun ger yirden, imiren iṛuḥ.

²⁵but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel amongst the wheat, and went away.

²⁶Mi d-gman yirden-nni fkan-d tigedrin, aẓekkun-nni ula d nețța igma-d.

²⁶But when the blade shot up and produced fruit, then appeared the darnel also.

²⁷Iqeddacen n bab n iger-nni, usan-d ɣuṛ-es nnan-as : A Sidi, eɛni mačči d irden i tzerɛeḍ deg iger-ik ? Ansi i d-ikka ihi uẓekkun-agi ?

²⁷And the bondmen of the householder came up and said to him, Sir, hast thou not sown good seed in thy field? whence then has it darnel?

²⁸Yerra-yasen : D yiwen weɛdaw i gxedmen akka ! IIqeddacen-nni nnan-as : Ihi tebɣiḍ a nṛuḥ a neqleɛ aẓekkun-agi ?

²⁸And he said to them, A man [that is] an enemy has done this. And the bondmen said to him, Wilt thou then that we should go and gather it [up]?

²⁹Yerra-yasen : Xaṭi ! Axaṭer m'ara tekksem aẓekkun, tzemrem a d-teglum s yirden.

²⁹But he said, No; lest [in] gathering the darnel ye should root up the wheat with it.

³⁰Anfet-asen ad gmun di sin alamma ț-țamegra. Ass-nni, a sen iniɣ i wid imeggren : qelɛet-ed uqbel aẓekkun, cuddet-eț ț-țadliwin iwakken a tent-nesseṛɣ ma d irden jemɛet țen-id ɣer ikuffan-iw.

³⁰Suffer both to grow together unto the harvest, and in time of the harvest I will say to the harvestmen, Gather first the darnel, and bind it into bundles to burn it; but the wheat bring together into my granary.

³¹Sidna Ɛisa yefka-yasen-d lemtel nniḍen : Tagelda n igenwan tcuba ɣer yiwen uɛeqqa n uxerḍel i d-iddem yiwen wergaz iwakken a t-izreɛ deg iger-is.

³¹Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard [seed] which a man took and sowed in his field;

³²Aɛeqqa-yagi d nețța i d amecṭuḥ meṛṛa ger zzerriɛat yellan, lameɛna mi gețwazreɛ, igemmu yețțali alamma yekka-d sennig akk yemɣan n tebḥirt, yeggar-ed ifurkawen d imeqqranen, ula d ifṛax n igenni , bennun leɛcuc-nsen s ufella-s.

³²which is less indeed than all seeds, but when it is grown is greater than herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and roost in its branches.

³³Sidna Ɛisa yenna-yasen-d lemtel nniḍen : Tagelda n igenwan tețțemcabi ɣer temtunt ( yiɣes n temtunt ) ara d-teddem tmeṭṭut a t-tsexleḍ i tlata lkilat n uwren, s wakka arukti-nni meṛṛa ad yali.

³³He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it had been all leavened.

³⁴Sidna Ɛisa ițmeslay-ed i lɣaci anagar s lemtul.

³⁴All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them,

³⁵Ițmeslay-asen-d akka iwakken ad yedṛu wayen i d-nnan lenbiya : A sen-mmeslayeɣ s lemtul, a sen-beccṛeɣ tiɣawsiwin yeffren seg wasmi i d-texleq ddunit. cc

³⁵so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from [the] world's foundation.

³⁶Mi gekfa Sidna Ɛisa ameslay, lɣaci ṛuḥen, nețța ikcem ɣer wexxam. Inelmaden-is qeṛṛben ɣuṛ-es nnan-as : Ssefru-yaɣ-d lemtel n uẓekkun deg iger.

³⁶Then, having dismissed the crowds, he went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Expound to us the parable of the darnel of the field.

³⁷Yerra-yasen-d : Win izerrɛen irden d Mmi-s n bunadem ;

³⁷But he answering said, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man,

³⁸iger, d ddunit ; irden, d wid ițekkan di tgelda n igenwan ; ma d aẓekkun, d widak ițekkan d Cciṭan ;

³⁸and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, but the darnel are the sons of the evil [one];

³⁹aɛdaw i gzerrɛen aẓekkun, d Cciṭan ; tamegra , ț-țaggara nddunit ; ma d wid imeggren, d lmalayekkat.

³⁹and the enemy who has sowed it is the devil; and the harvest is [the] completion of [the] age, and the harvestmen are angels.

⁴⁰Akken ara qellɛen aẓekkun ṭeggiṛen-t ɣer tmes, ara tedṛu di taggara n ddunit.

⁴⁰As then the darnel is gathered and is burned in the fire, thus it shall be in the completion of the age.

⁴¹Mmi-s n bunadem a d-iceggeɛ lmalayekkat-is, ad ssufɣen si tgelda-s wid akk yesseɣlayen wiyaḍ di ddnub akk-d wid ixeddmen cceṛ,

⁴¹The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all offences, and those that practise lawlessness;

⁴²dɣa a ten-ḍeggṛen ɣer tmes anda ara yilin imeṭṭawen d nndama tameqqrant ;

⁴²and they shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

⁴³ma d wid iḍuɛen Ṛebbi ad feǧǧeǧen am yiṭij di tgelda n Baba Ṛebbi. Win yesɛan imeẓẓuɣen isel-ed !

⁴³Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear.

⁴⁴Tagelda n igenwan tețțemcabi ɣer ugerruj yeffren deg yiwen n yiger. Yiwen wergaz yufa-t, yuɣal iffer-it. Si lfeṛḥ-nni i gefṛeḥ, iṛuḥ izzenz ayen akk yesɛa iwakken ad yaɣ iger-nni.

⁴⁴The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hid in the field, which a man having found has hid, and for the joy of it goes and sells all whatever he has, and buys that field.

⁴⁵Tagelda n igenwan tețțemcabi daɣen ɣer yiwen umetjaṛ ițqelliben tiɛeqcin ifazen.

⁴⁵Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls;

⁴⁶Mi gufa yiwet ifazen ɣef tiyaḍ, iṛuḥ izzenz ayen akk yesɛa, yuɣal-ed yuɣ-iț.

⁴⁶and having found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all whatever he had and bought it.

⁴⁷Tagelda n igenwan tețțemcabi daɣen ɣer ucebbak ițwadeggṛen ɣer lebḥeṛ, iwakken a d-iṭṭef iselman ( lḥut ) n mkul ṣṣenf.

⁴⁷Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a seine which has been cast into the sea, and which has gathered together of every kind,

⁴⁸M'ara yeččaṛ, iḥewwaten a t-id-jebden ɣer rrif n lebḥeṛ, dɣa ad qqimen iwakken ad fernen iselman, ad jemɛen wid yelhan, ad ḍeggṛen wid n diri.

⁴⁸which, when it has been filled, having drawn up on the shore and sat down, they gathered the good into vessels and cast the worthless out.

⁴⁹Akka ara tedṛu di taggara n ddunit : lmalayekkat a d-asent a d ddment imcumen si ger iḥeqqiyen,

⁴⁹Thus shall it be in the completion of the age: the angels shall go forth and sever the wicked from the midst of the just,

⁵⁰iwakken a ten-ḍeggṛent ɣer tmes anda llan imeṭṭawen d nndama tameqqrant.

⁵⁰and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

⁵¹Dɣa Sidna Ɛisa yenna-yasen : Tfehmem ayagi meṛṛa ? RRran-as : Anɛam a Sidi, nefhem !

⁵¹Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, [Lord].

⁵²Yerna-yasen : Ihi, yal amusnaw n ccariɛa ara ifehmen tagelda n igenwan, icuba ɣer bab n wexxam i d-ițekksen seg ugerruj-is tiɣawsiwin tijdidin, akk-d ț-țɣawsiwin tiqdimin.

⁵²And he said to them, For this reason every scribe discipled to the kingdom of the heavens is like a man [that is] a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.

⁵³Mi d-yenna lemtul-agi, Sidna Ɛisa iṛuḥ syenna.

⁵³And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these parables he withdrew thence.

⁵⁴Yerra ɣer taddart i deg ițțuṛebba. Isselmad di lǧameɛ nsen, lɣaci akk iḥedṛen wehmen, qqaṛen : Ansi i s-d-tekka tmusni-yagi akk d tezmert s wayes ixeddem lbeṛhanat agi ?

⁵⁴And having come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this [man] this wisdom and these works of power?

⁵⁵Mačči d nețța i d mmi-s n win ineǧṛen ijegwa ? Eɛni yemma-s mačči ț-țin iwumi qqaṛen Meryem ? AAtmaten-is mačči d Yeɛqub, Yusef, Semɛun akk-d Yuda ?

⁵⁵Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?

⁵⁶Yessetma-s daɣen, mačči gar aneɣ i llant ? Ansi i s-d-ikka ihi wannect-agi ?

⁵⁶And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then has this [man] all these things?

⁵⁷Ɣef wayagi akk i sen-yella d sebba n tuccḍa, ugin ad amnen yis. DDɣa Sidna Ɛisa yenna-yasen : Nnbi yețwaḥqeṛ anagar di tmurt-is akk-d wexxam-is.

⁵⁷And they were offended in him. And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, unless in his country and in his house.

⁵⁸Sidna Ɛisa ur yexdim ara aṭas n lbeṛhanat dinna, axaṭer ugin ad amnen.

⁵⁸And he did not there many works of power, because of their unbelief.
