< Matthew 19 >

1 When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
Et factum est, cum consummasset Iesus sermones istos, migravit a Galilaea, et venit in fines Iudaeae trans Iordanem,
2 Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
et secutae sunt eum turbae multae, et curavit eos ibi.
3 Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
Et accesserunt ad eum Pharisaei tentantes eum, et dicentes: Si licet homini dimittere uxorem suam, quacumque ex causa?
4 He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
Qui respondens, ait eis: Non legistis, quia qui fecit hominem ab initio, masculum, et feminam fecit eos? et dixit:
5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?
Propter hoc dimittet homo patrem, et matrem, et adhaerebit uxori suae, et erunt duo in carne una.
6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
itaque iam non sunt duo, sed una caro. Quod ergo Deus coniunxit, homo non separet.
7 They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”
Dicunt illi: Quid ergo Moyses mandavit dare libellum repudii, et dimittere?
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
Ait illis: Quoniam Moyses ad duritiam cordis vestri permisit vobis dimittere uxores vestras: ab initio autem non fuit sic.
9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”
Dico autem vobis, quia quicumque dimiserit uxorem suam, nisi ob fornicationem, et aliam duxerit, moechatur: et qui dimissam duxerit, moechatur.
10 His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
Dicunt ei discipuli eius: Si ita est causa hominis cum uxore, non expedit nubere.
11 But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
Qui dixit illis: Non omnes capiunt verbum istud, sed quibus datum est.
12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
Sunt enim eunuchi, qui de matris utero sic nati sunt: et sunt eunuchi, qui facti sunt ab hominibus: et sunt eunuchi, qui seipsos castraverunt propter regnum caelorum. Qui potest capere capiat.
13 Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
Tunc oblati sunt ei parvuli, ut manus eis imponeret, et oraret. Discipuli autem increpabant eos.
14 But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”
Iesus vero ait eis: Sinite parvulos, et nolite eos prohibere ad me venire: talium est enim regnum caelorum.
15 He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
Et cum imposuisset eis manus, abiit inde.
16 Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Et ecce unus accedens, ait illi: Magister bone, quid boni faciam ut habeam vitam aeternam? (aiōnios g166)
17 He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
Qui dixit ei: Quid me interrogas de bono? Unus est bonus, Deus. Si autem vis ad vitam ingredi, serva mandata.
18 He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’
Dicit illi: Quae? Iesus autem dixit: Non homicidium facies: Non adulterabis: Non facies furtum: Non falsum testimonium dices:
19 ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
Honora patrem tuum, et matrem tuam, et diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
20 The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
Dicit illi adolescens: Omnia haec custodivi, quid adhuc mihi deest?
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Ait illi Iesus: Si vis perfectus esse, vade, vende omnia quae habes, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in caelo: et veni, sequere me.
22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
Cum audisset autem adolescens verbum, abiit tristis: erat enim habens multas possessiones.
23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
Iesus autem dixit discipulis suis: Amen dico vobis, quia dives difficile intrabit in regnum caelorum.
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
Et iterum dico vobis: Facilius est camelum per foramen acus transire, quam divitem intrare in regnum caelorum.
25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
Auditis autem his, discipuli mirabantur valde, dicentes: Quis ergo poterit salvus esse?
26 Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Aspiciens autem Iesus, dixit illis: Apud homines hoc impossibile est: apud Deum autem omnia possibilia sunt.
27 Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
Tunc respondens Petrus, dixit ei: Ecce nos reliquimus omnia, et secuti sumus te: quid ergo erit nobis?
28 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Iesus autem dixit illis: Amen dico vobis, quod vos, qui secuti estis me, in regeneratione cum sederit filius hominis in sede maiestatis suae, sedebitis et vos super sedes duodecim, iudicantes duodecim tribus Israel.
29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Et omnis, qui reliquerit domum, vel fratres, aut sorores, aut patrem, aut matrem, aut uxorem, aut filios, aut agros propter nomen meum, centuplum accipiet, et vitam aeternam possidebit. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.
Multi autem erunt primi novissimi, et novissimi primi.
