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.

¹And again he began to teach by the sea, and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he, having gone into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near the sea, on the land,

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

²and he taught them many things in similes, and he said to them in his teaching:

³Počujte! Hľa, vyšiel rozsievač, aby rozsieval.

³`Hearken, lo, the sower went forth to sow;

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

⁴and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the fowls of the heaven did come and devour it;

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

⁵and other fell upon the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of not having depth of earth,

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

⁶and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of not having root it did wither;

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

⁷and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns did come up, and choke it, and fruit it gave not;

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

⁸and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it bare, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.`

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

⁹And he said to them, `He who is having ears to hear — let him hear.`

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

¹⁰And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, did ask him of the simile,

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

¹¹and he said to them, `To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done;

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

¹²that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest they may turn, and the sins may be forgiven them.`

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

¹³And he saith to them, `Have ye not known this simile? and how shall ye know all the similes?

¹⁴Rozsievač seje slovo.

¹⁴He who is sowing doth sow the word;

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

¹⁵and these are they by the way where the word is sown: and whenever they may hear, immediately cometh the Adversary, and he taketh away the word that hath been sown in their hearts.

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

¹⁶`And these are they, in like manner, who on the rocky ground are sown: who, whenever they may hear the word, immediately with joy do receive it,

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

¹⁷and have not root in themselves, but are temporary; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are stumbled.

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

¹⁸`And these are they who toward the thorns are sown: these are they who are hearing the word,

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

¹⁹and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

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.

²⁰`And these are they who on the good ground have been sown: who do hear the word, and receive, and do bear fruit, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.`

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?

²¹And he said to them, `Doth the lamp come that under the measure it may be put, or under the couch — not that it may be put on the lamp-stand?

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

²²for there is not anything hid that may not be manifested, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light.

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

²³If any hath ears to hear — let him hear.`

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

²⁴And he said to them, `Take heed what ye hear; in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you; and to you who hear it shall be added;

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

²⁵for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever hath not, also that which he hath shall be taken from him.`

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

²⁶And he said, `Thus is the reign of God: as if a man may cast the seed on the earth,

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

²⁷and may sleep, and may rise night and day, and the seed spring up and grow, he hath not known how;

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

²⁸for of itself doth the earth bear fruit, first a blade, afterwards an ear, afterwards full corn in the ear;

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

²⁹and whenever the fruit may yield itself, immediately he doth send forth the sickle, because the harvest hath come.`

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

³⁰And he said, `To what may we liken the reign of God, or in what simile may we compare it?

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

³¹As a grain of mustard, which, whenever it may be sown on the earth, is less than any of the seeds that are on the earth;

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.

³²and whenever it may be sown, it cometh up, and doth become greater than any of the herbs, and doth make great branches, so that under its shade the fowls of the heaven are able to rest.`

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

³³And with many such similes he was speaking to them the word, as they were able to hear,

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

³⁴and without a simile he was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to his disciples he was expounding all.

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

³⁵And he saith to them on that day, evening having come, `We may pass over to the other side;`

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

³⁶and having let away the multitude, they take him up as he was in the boat, and other little boats also were with him.

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

³⁷And there cometh a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled,

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

³⁸and he himself was upon the stern, upon the pillow sleeping, and they wake him up, and say to him, `Teacher, art thou not caring that we perish?`

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

³⁹And having waked up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, `Peace, be stilled;` and the wind did lull, and there was a great calm:

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

⁴⁰and he said to them, `Why are ye so fearful? how have ye not faith?`

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

⁴¹and they feared a great fear, and said one to another, `Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?`
