Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
Umbes sel ajal tulid jüngrid Jeesuse juurde ja küsisid: „Kes on suurim taevariigis?“
2 Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
Jeesus hõikas ligi ühe väikse lapse. Ta lasi lapsel nende ette seista.
3 and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
„Ma ütlen teile tõtt: kui te ei muuda oma mõtteviisi ega saa väikeste laste sarnaseks, ei pääse te taevariiki, “ütles ta neile.
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
„Aga kes iganes end alandab ja saab selle väikse lapse sarnaseks, on suurim taevariigis.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
Kes iganes võtab seesuguse väikse lapse vastu minu nimel, võtab vastu minu.
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
Aga kes iganes suunab patustama ühe neist väikestest, kes minusse usuvad, sellele oleks parem, kui tema kaela seotaks suur veskikivi ja ta uputataks mere sügavustesse.
7 “Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
Missugune suur õnnetus on tulemas maailmale kõigi kiusatuste tõttu patustada! Kiusatused tulevad küll, kuid häda inimesele, kelle läbi kiusatus tuleb!
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the consummate (aiōnios g166) fire.
Kui su käsi või jalg sunnib sind patustama, siis lõika see maha ja viska minema. Parem on minna vigase või lombakana igavesse ellu kui omada kaht kätt või kaht jalga ja saada igavesse tulle heidetud. (aiōnios g166)
9 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna (Geenna g1067) of fire.
Kui su silm sunnib sind patustama, siis tõmba see välja ja viska minema. Parem on minna ühe silmaga igavesse ellu kui omada kaht silma ja saada igavesse tulle heidetud. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Olge hoolsad, et te ei põlgaks neid väikesi. Ma ütlen teile, et inglid taevas on alati mu taevase Isaga koos.
11 For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
12 “What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does not he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
Mida te sellest arvate? Kui ühel mehel on sada lammast ja üks neist läheb kaotsi, kas ta ei jäta siis üheksakümmend üheksa kingule ega lähe otsima seda üht, kes on kadunud?
13 If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
Ja kui ta tema leiab, ma ütlen teile, ta tunneb selle lamba üle rohkem rõõmu kui üheksakümne üheksa üle, kes ei läinud kaduma.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Samamoodi ei taha mu taevane Isa, et ükski neist pisikestest kaduma läheks.
15 “If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
Kui vend sinu vastu patustab, siis mine ja juhi tema tähelepanu eksimusele, ainult nelja silma all. Kui ta sind kuulab, oled sa oma venna enda poole võitnud.
16 But if he does not listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Aga kui ta ei kuula, siis võta endaga veel üks või kaks inimest, nii et tõde saaks kinnitada kaks või kolm tunnistajat.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
Aga kui ta ikka keeldub kuulamast, siis räägi kogudusele. Kui ta keeldub ka kogudust kuulamast, siis kohtle teda kui võõramaalast ja maksukogujat.
18 Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
Ma ütlen teile tõtt: mida iganes te maa peal keelate, on ka taevas keelatud, ja mida iganes te maa peal lubate, on lubatud ka taevas.
19 Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
Ma ütlen teile ka, et kui kaks teist on siin maa peal ühel nõul millegi pärast palvetamas, siis mu taevane Isa teeb seda teie heaks.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
Sest kus kaks või kolm on koos minu nimel, seal olen mina nendega koos.“
21 Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
Peetrus tuli Jeesuse juurde ja küsis temalt: „Mitu korda peaksin ma oma vennale andestama, kui ta minu vastu pattu teeb? Kas seitse korda?“
22 Jesus said to him, “I do not tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
„Ei, mitte seitse korda. Ma ütlen, seitsekümmend korda seitse korda!“vastas Jeesus talle.
23 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
„Sellepärast on taevariik kuninga sarnane, kes tahtis ajada arvepidamise korda sulastega, kes talle raha võlgu olid.
24 When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Kui ta hakkas arvepidamist uurima, toodi tema ette üks sulane, kes oli talle võlgu kümme tuhat talenti.
25 But because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Kuna tal ei olnud tasumiseks raha, andis isand korralduse müüa ära sulane koos naise, laste ja kogu omandiga, et võlg saaks tasutud.
26 The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
Sulane langes põlvedele ja ütles oma isandale: „Palun ole minuga kannatlik! Ma maksan kõik tagasi!“
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
Isandal hakkas sulasest kahju, ta lasi sulase vabaks ja tühistas võla.
28 “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
Aga kui seesama sulane läks välja, leidis ta oma kaassulase, kes oli talle võlgu kõigest sada denaari. Ta haaras tal kõrist kinni ja kägistas teda ning ütles: „Maksa tagasi, mis sa mulle võlgu oled!“
29 “So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
Tema kaassulane langes mehe jalge ette maha ja anus teda: „Palun ole minuga kannatlik! Ma maksan sulle tagasi!“
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
Aga mees keeldus ning läks ja viskas oma kaassulase vanglasse, kuniks ta oma võla ära tasub.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
Kui teised sulased toimunut nägid, olid nad rabatud ja vapustatud. Nad läksid ja rääkisid isandale kõigest, mis oli juhtunud.
32 Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
Siis kutsus isand mehe tagasi ja ütles talle: „Sina kuri sulane! Ma kustutasin kogu su võla, sest sa anusid mind.
33 Should not you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
Kas ei oleks pidanud sa halastama oma kaassulase peale samamoodi, nagu mina sinu peale halastasin?“
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
Tema isand sai pahaseks ja andis ta vangivalvurite kätte, kuni ta kogu oma võla ära tasub.
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
Nii toimib minu taevane Isa kõigi teiega, kui te siiralt oma vendadele andeks ei anna.“
