24 Teise tähendamissõna esitas Ta neile ning ütles: „Taevariik on mehe sarnane, kes oma põllule külvas hea seemne.

25 Aga inimeste magades tuli ta vaenlane ja külvas lustet nisu sekka ja läks ära.

26 Kui nüüd oras kasvas ja vili hakkas looma, siis tuli ka luste nähtavale.

27 Aga majaisanda orjad tulid tema juure ning ütlesid temale: Isand, eks sa külvanud head seemet oma põllule, kust tuleb sellele nüüd lustet?

28 Tema ütles neile: Seda on teinud vaenuline inimene. Siis ütlesid orjad temale: Kas sa nüüd tahad, et me läheme ja selle kokku kogume?

29 Aga tema ütles: Ei, et te lustet katkudes ühes sellega ei kisuks välja ka nisu.

30 Laske mõlemad ühtlasi kasvada lõikuseks, ja lõikuseajal Ma ütlen lõikajaile: Koguge enne lusted ja siduge vihku ärapõletamiseks, nisu aga koguge kokku mu aita!"

24 And he gave them another story, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who put good seed in his field:

25 But while men were sleeping, one who had hate for him came and put evil seeds among the grain, and went away.

26 But when the green stem came up and gave fruit, the evil plants were seen at the same time.

27 And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, Sir, did you not put good seed in your field? how then has it evil plants?

28 And he said, Someone has done this in hate. And the servants say to him, Is it your pleasure that we go and take them up?

29 But he says, No, for fear that by chance while you take up the evil plants, you may be rooting up the grain with them.

30 Let them come up together till the getting in of the grain; and then I will say to the workers, Take up first the evil plants, and put them together for burning: but put the grain into my store-house.
