Mateo 18

1 Ordu hartan berean ethor citecen Iesusgana discipuluac, cioitela, Nor da handiena ceruètaco resuman?

In that hour, the disciples drew near to Jesus, saying, “Whom do you consider to be greater in the kingdom of heaven?”

2 Eta deithuric haourtchobat beregana Iesusec, eçar ceçan hura hayén artean.

And Jesus, calling to himself a little child, placed him in their midst.

3 Eta erran ceçan, Eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, baldin conuerti ezpaçaitezte, eta haourtchoac beçalaca ezpaçaitezte, etzarete sarthuren ceruètaco resumán.

And he said: “Amen I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Norc-ere bada bere buruä humiliaturen baitu haourtcho haur den beçala, hura da handiena ceruètaco resumán?

Therefore, whoever will have humbled himself like this little child, such a one is greater in the kingdom of heaven.

5 Eta norc-ere recebituren baitu hunelaco haourtchobat ene icenean, ni recebitzen nau.

And whoever shall accept one such little child in my name, accepts me.

6 Baina norc-ere scandalizaturen baitu ni baithan sinhesten duten chipi hautaric bat, harc hobe luque vrka lequión bere leppoan asto-errota harribat, eta hunda ledin itsas hundarrean.

But whoever will have led astray one of these little ones, who trust in me, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck, and to be submerged in the depths of the sea.

7 Maledictione munduari scandaloén causaz: ecen necessario da scandaloac datocen, badaric-ere maledictione guiçon hari, ceinez scandalo ethorten baita.

Woe to a world that leads people astray! Although it is necessary for temptations to arise, nevertheless: Woe to that man through whom temptation arises!

8 Baldineta eure escuac edo eure oinac trebuca eraciten bahau trenca eçac hura eta iraitzac eureganic, hobe duc hire, mainguric edo escubakoitzdun vicitzean sar adin, ecen ez bi escuac edo bi oinac dituála suco gehennara iraitz adin. (aiōnios g166)

So if your hand or your foot leads you to sin, cut it off and cast it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life disabled or lame, than to be sent into eternal fire having two hands or two feet. (aiōnios g166)

9 Eta baldin eure beguiac trebuca eraciten bahau, idocac hura, eta iraitzac eureganic: hobe duc hire, begui batarequin vicitzean sar adin, ecen ez bi beguiac dituala suco gehennara iraitz adin. (Geenna g1067)

And if your eye leads you to sin, root it out and cast it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, than to be sent into the fires of Hell having two eyes. (Geenna g1067)

10 Beguirauçue menosprecia ezteçaçuen chipi hautaric bat: ecen erraiten drauçuet hauen Aingueruèc bethiere dacussatela ene Aita ceruetan denaren beguithartea.

See to it that you do not despise even one of these little ones. For I say to you, that their Angels in heaven continually look upon the face of my Father, who is in heaven.

11 Ecen ethorri içan da guiçonaren Semea galdu cenaren saluatzera.

For the Son of man has come to save what had been lost.

12 Cer irudi çaiçue? baldin guiçon batec ehun ardi baditu, eta hetaric bat errebela badadi, eztitu lauroguey eta hemeretziac vtziten, eta mendietara ioanic eztu errebelatu cena bilhatzen?

How does it seem to you? If someone has one hundred sheep, and if one of them has gone astray, should he not leave behind the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go out to seek what has gone astray?

13 Eta baldin guertha badadi eriden deçan hura, eguiaz erraiten drauçuet ecen bozcario guehiago duela harçaz, ecen ez lauroguey eta hemeretzi errebelatu etziradenez.

And if he should happen to find it: Amen I say to you, that he has more joy over that one, than over the ninety-nine which did not go astray.

14 Halaber ezta çuen Aita ceruètan denaren vorondatea chipi hautaric bat gal dadin.

Even so, it is not the will before your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should be lost.

15 Eta baldin hire anayec hire contra faltatu badu, oha eta reprehendi eçac hura, hire eta haren beraren artean: baldin behatzen baçaic, irabaci duc eure anayea.

But if your brother has sinned against you, go and correct him, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you will have regained your brother.

16 Baina baldin behatzen ezpaçaic, har itzac eurequin oraino bat edo biga: biga edo hirur testimonioren ahoan hitz gucia fermu dençat.

But if he will not listen you, invite with you one or two more, so that every word may stand by the mouth of two or three witnesses.

17 Eta baldin hæy behatzen ezpaçaye, erróc Eliçari: eta baldin Eliçari behatzen ezpaçayó, albeiheduca pagano eta publicano beçala.

And if he will not listen to them, tell the Church. But if he will not listen to the Church, let him be to you like the pagan and the tax collector.

18 Eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, cer-ere lothuren baituçue lurrean, lothua içanen da ceruän: eta cer-ere lachaturen baituçue lurrean, lachatua içanen da ceruän.

Amen I say to you, whatever you will have bound on earth, shall be bound also in heaven, and whatever you will have released on earth, shall be released also in heaven.

19 Berriz diotsuet ecen baldin çuetaric biguec consenti badeçate lurraren gainean, esca ditecen gauça gucia eguinen çayela ene Aita ceruetan denaz.

Again I say to you, that if two of those among you have agreed on earth, about anything whatsoever that they have requested, it shall be done for them by my Father, who is in heaven.

20 Ecen non baitirade biga edo hirur bilduric ene icenean, han naiz hayén artean.

For wherever two or three are gathered in my name, there am I, in their midst.”

21 Orduan harengana hurbilduric Pierrisec erran ceçan, Iauna, cembatetarano bekatu eguinen du ene contra ene anayec, eta barkaturen draucat? ala çazpitarano?

Then Peter, drawing near to him, said: “Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Even seven times?”

22 Diotsó IESVSEC, Eztiossát çazpitarano, baina çazpitan hiruroguey eta hamarretarano.

Jesus said to him: “I do not say to you, even seven times, but even seventy times seven times.

23 Halacotz da comparatu ceruètaco resumá beré cerbitzariequin contu eguin nahi vkan duen regue batequin.

Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is compared to a man who was king, who wanted to take account of his servants.

24 Eta contu eguiten hassi cenean, presenta cequión bat, hamar-milla talent hari çor ceraucanic.

And when he had begun taking account, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

25 Eta ceren harc ezpaitzuen nondic paga, mana ceçan haren iaunac sal ledin hura, eta haren emaztea, eta haourrac, eta cituen gauça guciac: eta çorra paga ledin.

But since he did not have any way to repay it, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children, and all that he had, in order to repay it.

26 Halacotz cerbitzari hunec bere buruä lurrera egotziric supplicatzen çuen hura, cioela, Iauna, auc patientia enegana, eta gucia pagaturen drauát.

But that servant, falling prostrate, begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.’

27 Orduan compassione harturic cerbitzari haren iaunac, vtzi ceçan, eta çorra quitta cieçon.

Then the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, released him, and he forgave his debt.

28 Baina ilkiric cerbitzari hunec eriden ceçan bere cerbitzari quidetaric bat, ehun dinero çor ceraucanic: eta hura hatzamanic ithotzen çuen, cioela, Paga neçac çor duanaz.

But when that servant departed, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarius. And taking hold of him, he choked him, saying: ‘Repay what you owe.’

29 Eta bere cerbitzari-quideac haren oinetara bere buruä egotziric othoitz eguiten ceraucan, cioela, Auc patientia enegana, eta gucia pagaturen drauat.

And his fellow servant, falling prostrate, petitioned him, saying: ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.’

30 Baina harc etzuen eguin nahi vkan, aitzitic ioanic eçar ceçan hura presoinean, çorra paga liroeno.

But he was not willing. Instead, he went out and had him sent to prison, until he would repay the debt.

31 Bada ikussiric haren cerbitzari-quidéc cer eguin içan cen, triste citecen haguitz: eta ethorriric declara cieçoten bere iaunari eguin içan cen gucia.

Now his fellow servants, seeing what was done, were greatly saddened, and they went and reported to their lord all that was done.

32 Orduan hura deithuric bere iaunac diotsa, Cerbitzari gaichtoá, çor hura gucia quittatu drauat, ceren othoitz eguin baitrautac:

Then his lord called him, and he said to him: ‘You wicked servant, I forgave you all your debt, because you pleaded with me.

33 Ez-auena hic-ere eure cerbitzari-quideaz pietate vkan behar, nic-ere hiçaz pietate vkan dudan beçala?

Therefore, should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I also had compassion on you?’

34 Orduan asserreturic bere iaunac sargeantey hura eman ciecén, hari çor ceraucan gucia paga lieçaqueono.

And his lord, being angry, handed him over to the torturers, until he repaid the entire debt.

35 Hala ene Aita ceruètan denac-ere eguinen drauçue çuey, baldin batbederac bere anayeri gogotic faltác barka ezpadietzoçue.

So, too, shall my heavenly Father do to you, if each one of you will not forgive his brother from your hearts.”
