Mateo 18

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

At that time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is to be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

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

And Jesus calling to Him a little child, set it in the midst of them,

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

and said, Verily I declare unto you, unless ye be converted, and become like little children, ye shall never enter into the kingdom of heaven.

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

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven:

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

and whoever shall receive one such little child for my sake, receiveth 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 whosoever shall lay a stumbling-block in the way of one of these little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that a milstone were hung on his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.

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

Wo will be to the world from such offenses; for it is of necessity that offenses come: but wo to that man by whom the offense cometh.

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)

If then thy hand or thy foot cause thee to offend, cut them off and cast them from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire: (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 thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life with but one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire. (Geenna g1067)

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

See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I tell you, that their angels in heaven do continually appear in the presence of my father, who is in heaven:

11 Ecen ethorri içan da guiçonaren Semea galdu cenaren saluatzera.

for the Son of man came from thence to save that which was 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?

What think ye? if any man had an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray, would he not leave the ninety and nine, and go upon the hills, and seek that which is 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 find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more on account of that, than of the ninety nine which went not astray.

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

Even so it is not the will of your heavenly Father, that any 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.

And if thy brother trespass against thee, go and expostulate with him alone; if he hearken to thee, thou hast gained thy 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 regard thee not, take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

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

And if he disregard them, tell it to the church: but if he disregard the church too, let him be unto thee as an heathen and a publican.

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

Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.

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

And I tell you moreover, that if but two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing which they would ask for, it shall be granted them by my Father who is in heaven:

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

for where two or three are assembled together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

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

Then Peter came to Him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? to seven times?

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

Jesus answereth him, I tell thee not, to seven times, but to seventy times seven.

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

And therefore the gospel-kingdom is like unto a king, who had a mind to settle accounts with his servants:

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

and when he began to reckon, there was brought to him one, who was debtor in 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.

and not having it to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had; and payment to be made.

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

The servant therefore fell prostrate before him, saying, Lord, bear with me a while, and I will pay thee all:

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

and his lord had compassion on him, and discharged him, and forgave him the 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 that same servant, as he was going out, met with one of his fellow-servants, who owed him but an hundred pence; and he laid hold on him and seized him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest me:

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 fell down at his feet, and intreated him, saying, Bear with me a while, and I will pay thee all.

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

And he would not: but went away and threw him into prison till he should pay 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 when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very much grieved, and came and acquainted their lord with all that had passed.

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

Then his lord called for him again, and said to him, Thou wicked slave, I forgave thee all that vast debt at thy request,

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

and oughtest not thou to have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had on thee?

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

And his lord being highly provoked delivered him to the officers, till he should pay all that was owing to him.

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

Thus will my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.
