Matthew 19
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, he removed from Galilee and came into the bounds of Judaea beyond the Jordan.
And it was don, whanne Jhesus hadde endid these wordis, he passide fro Galilee, and cam in to the coostis of Judee ouer Jordan.
2 And there followed him large multitudes, and he cured them there.
And myche puple suede him, and he heelide hem there.
3 And there came unto him Pharisees, testing him, and saying, —Whether is it allowed a man to divorce his wife, for every cause?
And Farisees camen to him, temptynge him, and seiden, Whether it be leueful to a man to leeue his wijf, for ony cause?
4 And, he, answering, said—Did ye never read—He who created at the beginning, Male and female, made them, —
Which answeride, and seide to hem, Han ye not red, for he that made men at the bigynnyng, made hem male and female?
5 and said—For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and be united to his wife, —and, the two, will become, one flesh;
And he seide, For this thing a man schal leeue fadir and modir, and he schal draw to his wijf; and thei schulen be tweyne in o fleisch.
6 So that, the longer, are they, two, but, one flesh, What, therefore, God, hath yoked together, Let not, a man, put asunder.
And so thei ben not now tweyne, but o fleisch. Therfor a man departe not that thing that God hath ioyned.
7 They say unto him—Why then did, Moses, command, to give a writing of repudiation and to divorce?
Thei seien to hym, What thanne comaundide Moises, to yyue a libel of forsakyng, and to leeue of?
8 He saith unto them—Moses, in view of your hardness of heart, permitted you to divorce your wives; From the beginning however, hath it not been done, thus.
And he seide to hem, For Moises, for the hardnesse of youre herte, suffride you leeue youre wyues; but fro the bigynnyng it was not so.
9 And I say unto you—Whosoever shall divorce his wife, saving for unfaithfulness, and shall marry another, committeth adultery.
And Y seie to you, that who euer leeueth his wijf, but for fornycacioun, and weddith another, doith letcherie; and he that weddith the forsakun wijf, doith letcherie.
10 The disciples say unto him—If, so, is the cause of the husband with the wife, it is not expedient to marry.
His disciplis seien to him, If the cause of a man with a wijf is so, it spedith not to be weddid.
11 But, he, said unto them—Not all, find room for he word, save they to whom it hath been given;
And he seide to hem, Not alle men taken this word; but to whiche it is youun.
12 For there, are, eunuchs, who, from their mother’s womb, were born so, and there, are, eunuchs, who were made eunuchs, by men, —and there, are, eunuchs, who have made, themselves, eunuchs, for the sake the kingdom of the heavens: He that is able to find room, let him find room.
For ther ben geldingis, whiche ben thus born of the modris wombe; and ther ben geldyngis, that ben maad of men; and there ben geldyngis, that han geldid hem silf, for the kyngdom of heuenes. He that may take, `take he.
13 Then, were brought unto him children, —that he might lay his hands upon them, and pray. And, the disciples, rebuked them.
Thanne litle children weren brouyte to hym, that he schulde putte hondis to hem, and preie.
14 But, Jesus, said—Suffer the children—and do not hinder them—to come unto me, —for, of such, is the kingdom of the heavens.
And the disciplis blamyden hem. But Jhesus seide to hem, Suffre ye that litle children come to me, and nyle ye forbede hem; for of siche is the kyngdom of heuenes.
15 And, laying his hands upon them, he went his way from thence.
And whanne he hadde put to hem hondis, he wente fro thennus.
16 And lo! one coming near unto him, said, Teacher! what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
And lo! oon cam, and seide to hym, Good maister, what good schal Y do, that Y haue euerlastynge lijf? (aiōnios g166)
17 And, he, said unto him—Why dost thou question me concerning that which is good? There is, One, that is good! But, if thou desirest, into life, to enter, be keeping the commandments.
Which seith to hym, What axist thou me of good thing? There is o good God. But if thou wolt entre to lijf, kepe the comaundementis.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus, said—These: Thou shalt not commit murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, —Thou shalt not bear false witness;
He seith to hym, Whiche? And Jhesus seide, Thou schalt not do mansleying, thou schalt not do auowtrie, thou schalt not do thefte, thou schalt not seie fals witnessying;
19 Honour thy father and thy mother, —and—Thou shalt love thy neighbour as, thyself.
worschipe thi fadir and thi modir, and, thou schalt loue thi neiybore as thi silf.
20 The young man saith unto him—These all, have I kept, —What, further, do I lack?
The yonge man seith to hym, Y haue kept alle these thingis fro my youthe, what yit failith to me?
21 Jesus said unto him—If thou desirest to be perfect, Withdraw! sell thy substance, and give to the destitute, —and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens; and come! be following me.
Jhesus seith to hym, If thou wolt be perfite, go, and sille alle thingis that thou hast, and yyue to pore men, and thou schalt haue tresoure in heuene; and come, and sue me.
22 And the young man, hearing, this word, went away sorrowing, —for he was holding large possessions.
And whanne the yong man hadde herd these wordis, he wente awei sorewful, for he hadde many possessiouns.
23 And, Jesus, said unto his disciples—Verily, I say unto you, A rich man, with difficulty, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
And Jhesus seide to hise disciplis, Y seie to you treuthe, for a riche man of hard schal entre in to the kyngdom of heuenes.
24 Again I say unto you—Easier, is it for, a camel, through the eye of a needle, to enter, than a rich man—into the kingdom of God.
And eftsoone Y seie to you, it is liyter a camel to passe thorou a needlis iye, thanne a riche man to entre in to the kyngdom of heuens.
25 And, hearing it, the disciples were being struck with the greatest astonishment, saying—Who then can be saved?
Whanne these thingis weren herd, the disciplis wondriden greetli, and seiden, Who thanne may be saaf?
26 And, looking intently, Jesus said unto them—With men, this is, impossible, but, with God, all things are possible.
Jhesus bihelde, and seide to hem, Anentis men this thing is impossible; but anentis God alle thingis ben possible.
27 Then, making answer, Peter said unto him—Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee, —What then shall there be, for us?
Thanne Petre answeride, and seide to hym, Lo! we han forsake alle thingis, and we han suede thee; what thanne schal be to vs?
28 And, Jesus, said unto them—Verily, I say unto you, As for you who followed me in the regeneration, When the Son of Man shall take his seat on his throne of glory, ye also, shall be seated upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jhesus seide to hem, Truli I seie to you, that ye that han forsake alle thingis, and han sued me, in the regeneracioun whanne mannus sone schal sitte in the sete of his maieste, ye schulen sitte on twelue setis, demynge the twelue kynredis of Israel.
29 And, whosoever left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for sake of my name, manifold, shall receive, and life, age-abiding, shall inherit. (aiōnios g166)
And euery man that forsakith hous, britheren or sistren, fadir or modir, wijf ethir children, or feeldis, for my name, he schal take an hundrid foold, and schal welde euerlastynge lijf. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many shall be—first-last, and last-first.
But manye schulen be, the firste the laste, and the laste the firste.
