Matthew 18
1 In that hour came, the disciples unto Jesus, saying—Who then is, greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens?
In illa hora accesserunt discipuli ad Iesum, dicentes: Quis putas, maior est in regno cælorum?
2 And, calling near a child, he set it in the midst of them,
Et advocans Iesus parvulum, statuit eum in medio eorum,
3 and said—Verily, I say unto you, Except ye turn and become as the children, in nowise, shall ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
et dixit: Amen dico vobis, nisi conversi fueritis, et efficiamini sicut parvuli, non intrabitis in regnum cælorum.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, the same, is the greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens;
Quicumque ergo humiliaverit se sicut parvulus iste, hic est maior in regno cælorum.
5 And, whosoever shall give welcome unto one such child as this, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome.
Et qui susceperit unum parvulum talem in nomine meo, me suscipit.
6 And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones who believe in me, it profiteth him, that there be hung a large mill-stone about his neck, and he be sunk in the wide main of the sea.
Qui autem scandalizaverit unum de pusillis istis, qui in me credunt, expedit ei ut suspendatur mola asinaria in collo eius, et demergatur in profundum maris.
7 Alas for the world! by reason of the causes of stumbling; for it is, necessary, that the causes of stumbling come, —nevertheless, alas for the man through whom the cause of stumbling cometh!
Væ mundo a scandalis. Necesse est enim ut veniant scandala: verumtamen væ homini illi, per quem scandalum venit.
8 But, if, thy hand or thy foot, be causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly for thee, to enter into life, maimed or lame, rather than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the age-abiding fire. (aiōnios g166)
Si autem manus tua, vel pes tuus scandalizat te: abscide eum, et proiice abs te: bonum tibi est ad vitam ingredi debilem, vel claudum, quam duas manus, vel duos pedes habentem mitti in ignem æternum. (aiōnios g166)
9 And, if, thine eye, causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly, for thee, one-eyed, into life, to enter, rather than, having two eyes, to be cast into the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Et si oculus tuus scandalizat te, erue eum, et proiice abs te: bonum tibi est cum uno oculo in vitam intrare, quam duos oculos habentem mitti in Gehennam ignis. (Geenna g1067)
10 Beware! do not despise one of these little ones; For I say unto you—that, their messengers in the heavens, do, continually, behold the face of my Father in the heavens.
Videte ne contemnatis unum ex his pusillis: dico enim vobis, quia Angeli eorum in cælis semper vident faciem Patris mei, qui in cælis est.
Venit enim Filius hominis salvare quod perierat.
12 How, to you, doth it seem? If a certain man come to have a hundred sheep and one from among them go astray, Will he not leave the ninety-nine upon the mountains, and going, seek the straying one?
Quid vobis videtur? Si fuerint alicui centum oves, et erravit una ex eis: nonne relinquit nonaginta novem in montibus, et vadit quærere eam, quæ erravit?
13 And, if it should be that he find it, Verily, I say unto you—He rejoiceth over it, more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.
Et si contigerit ut inveniat eam: Amen dico vobis, quia gaudet super eam magis quam super nonaginta novem, quæ non erraverunt.
14 Thus, there is no desire, in the presence of my Father who is in the heavens, that, one of these little ones, should be lost.
Sic non est voluntas ante Patrem vestrum, qui in cælis est, ut pereat unus de pusillis istis.
15 But, if thy brother sin, withdraw, convince him, betwixt thee and him, alone, —If unto thee he hearken, thou hast gained thy brother;
Si autem peccaverit in te frater tuus, vade, et corripe eum inter te, et ipsum solum. Si te audierit, lucratus eris fratrem tuum.
16 But, if he do not hearken, take with thee, yet one or two, that, at the mouth of two witnesses or three, every declaration, maybe established;
Si autem te non audierit, adhibe tecum adhuc unum, vel duos, ut in ore duorum, vel trium testium stet omne verbum.
17 But, if he hear them amiss, tell it to the assembly, —And, if, even the assembly, he hear amiss, Let him be unto thee, just as the man of the nations and the tax-collector.
Quod si non audierit eos: dic Ecclesiæ. Si autem Ecclesiam non audierit: sit tibi sicut ethnicus, et publicanus.
18 Verily, I say unto you—Whatsoever things ye shall bind on the earth, shall be bound in heaven; and, whatsoever things ye shall loose on the earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
Amen dico vobis, quæcumque alligaveritis super terram, erunt ligata et in cælo: et quæcumque solveritis super terram, erunt soluta et in cælo.
19 Again, [verily] I say unto you—If two from among you shall agree upon the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be brought to pass for them, from my Father who is in the heavens;
Iterum dico vobis, quia si duo ex vobis consenserint super terram, de omni re quamcumque petierint, fiet illis a Patre meo, qui in cælis est.
20 For, where there are two or three, gathered together into my name, there, am I, in their midst.
Ubi enim sunt duo, vel tres congregati in nomine meo, ibi sum in medio eorum.
21 Then, coming near, Peter said [to him]—Lord! how many times, shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until, seven, times?
Tunc accedens Petrus ad eum, dixit: Domine quoties peccabit in me frater meus, et dimittam ei? usque septies?
22 Jesus saith to him—I say not unto thee, unto, seven, times, but, until seventy times seven.
Dicit illi Iesus: Non dico tibi usque septies: sed usque septuagies septies.
23 For this cause, hath the kingdom of the heavens become like unto a man, a king, who wished to settle an account with his servants;
Ideo assimilatum est regnum cælorum homini regi, qui voluit rationem ponere cum servis suis.
24 And, when he, began, to settle, there was brought unto him a, certain, debtor, of a thousand talents;
Et cum cœpisset rationem ponere, oblatus est ei unus, qui debebat ei decem millia talenta.
25 and, he, not having, wherewith to pay, the master ordered him to be sold, and the wife, and the children, and whatsoever he had, —and payment to be made.
Cum autem non haberet unde redderet, iussit eum dominus eius venundari, et uxorem eius, et filios, et omnia quæ habebat, et reddi.
26 The servant therefore, falling down, began to do homage unto him, saying—Have patience with me, and, all, will I pay thee.
Procidens autem servus ille, orabat eum, dicens: Patientiam habe in me, et omnia reddam tibi.
27 And, moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him, and, the loan, he, forgave, him.
Misertus autem dominus servi illius, dimisit eum, et debitum dimisit ei.
28 But that servant, going out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him, a hundred denaries, and, laying hold of him, he began seizing him by the throat, saying, Pay! if anything thou owest.
Egressus autem servus ille invenit unum de conservis suis, qui debebat ei centum denarios: et tenens suffocavit eum, dicens: Redde quod debes.
29 His fellow servant, therefore, falling down, began beseeching him, saying, Have patience with me! And I will pay thee.
Et procidens conservus eius, rogabat eum, dicens: Patientiam habe in me, et omnia reddam tibi.
30 He, however, would not, but went away and cast him into prison, —until he should pay what was owing.
Ille autem noluit: sed abiit, et misit eum in carcerem donec redderet debitum.
31 His fellow-servants, therefore, seeing, the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, —and went and made quite plain to their master all the things which had been done.
Videntes autem conservi eius quæ fiebant, contristati sunt valde: et venerunt, et narraverunt domino suo omnia quæ facta fuerant.
32 Then, calling him near, his master saith unto him—O wicked servant! All that debt, forgave I thee, because thou didst beseech me.
Tunc vocavit illum dominus suus: et ait illi: Serve nequam, omne debitum dimisi tibi quoniam rogasti me:
33 Was it not binding, upon thee also, to have mercy upon thy fellow-servant, as, I also, on thee, had mercy?
nonne ergo oportuit et te misereri conservi tui, sicut et ego tui misertus sum?
34 And, provoked to anger, his master delivered him up to the torturers, until he should pay all that was owing.
Et iratus dominus eius tradidit eum tortoribus, quoadusque redderet universum debitum.
35 Thus, my heavenly Father also, will do unto you, if ye forgive not each one his brother, from your hearts.
Sic et Pater meus cælestis faciet vobis, si non remiseritis unusquisque fratri suo de cordibus vestris.
