Matthew 18
1 About that time we disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who [among us will be] the most important when God [MTY/EUP] [makes you] king?”
Abban az órában odamentek a tanítványok Jézushoz, és megkérdezték tőle: „Vajon ki nagyobb a mennyek országában?“
2 Jesus called a child to come, and he placed that child in our midst.
Jézus odahívott egy kisgyermeket, közéjük állította,
3 He said, “Think about this: If you [(pl)] do not change [the way you(pl) think] and become [as humble] as little children, you [(pl)] will surely not go to the place where God [MTY/EUP] rules.
és ezt mondta: „Bizony mondom néktek: ha meg nem tértek, és olyanok nem lesztek, mint a kisgyermekek, semmiképpen nem mentek be a mennyek országába.
4 The people who become as humble as this child [or any child] is, will be the most important people among those over whom God rules.
Aki tehát megalázza magát, mint ez a kisgyermek, az a nagyobb a mennyek országában.
5 Also, when those who, [because they love] me, welcome [a] child like this one, [God considers] that they are welcoming me.”
Aki egy ilyen kisgyermeket befogad az én nevemben, engem fogad be.
6 “If you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [even if it is someone who is socially unimportant like] this little child, [God will severely punish you]. If a heavy stone were fastened around your neck and you were thrown into the deep waters of the sea, [people would consider that you had been severely punished. But God will punish] you more severely [than that if you cause someone to sin]
Aki pedig megbotránkoztat egyet e kicsinyek közül, akik énbennem hisznek, jobb annak, hogyha malomkövet kötnek nyakába, és a tenger mélyébe vetik.
7 It will be terrible for those [MTY] who cause others to stop believing in me. [God will punish them eternally]. It is inevitable that there will be [those who] cause others to stop believing in me. But it will be horrible for everyone who does that.
Jaj a világnak a botránkozások miatt! Mert szükséges, hogy botránkozások történjenek, de jaj annak az embernek, aki által a botránkozás történik.
8 So, if you [are wanting to use] one of your hands or feet to sin, [stop using that hand or foot! Even if you have to] cut it off [to avoid sinning, do it] [MET]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you are maimed or lame and do not have a hand or a foot. But it is not good that you continue to have your two hands and two feet [and do] [MTY] [the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown into [hell], where there is eternal fire burning. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
Ha pedig a kezed vagy lábad megbotránkoztat, vágd le azokat, és dobd el magadtól: mert jobb neked az életre sántán vagy csonkán bemenned, mint ha két kézzel vagy két lábbal vettetel az örök tűzre. (aiōnios g166)
9 If what you see you [makes you want] to sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you have only one eye. But it is not good that you continue to have your two eyes [and do the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown {God throws you} into hell where there is eternal fire burning.” (Geenna g1067)
Ha pedig a szemed botránkoztat meg téged, vájd ki azt, és dobd el magadtól: jobb neked félszemmel bemenned az életre, mint ha két szemmel vettetel a gyehenna tüzére. (Geenna g1067)
10 “Make an effort that you [(pl)] do not despise [even] one of these children. I tell you [(pl)] truly that [since] the angels [live] in heaven [in the presence of] my Father, [they will report to him if you mistreat the children].
Vigyázzatok, hogy e kicsinyek közül egyet se utáljatok, mert mondom néktek, hogy angyalaik a mennyekben mindig látják mennyei Atyám arcát.
Mert az Emberfia azért jött, hogy megtartsa, ami elveszett.
12 What do you [(pl)] think [you would do in the following situation]? If you had 100 sheep and one of them got lost, you would surely leave the 99 sheep [that are] on the hill and go and search for the lost one [RHQ], would you not?
Mit gondoltok, ha valamelyik embernek száz juha van, és egy azok közül eltéved, vajon nem hagyja-e őket ott, és a hegyekbe elmenve nem keresi-e meg azt, amely eltévelyedett?
13 If you found it, I affirm to you [(pl)] that you would rejoice very much. You would be happy that 99 sheep did not stray away, but you would rejoice even more [because you had found] the sheep that had strayed away.
És ha történetesen megtalálja, bizony mondom néktek, inkább örvend annak az egynek, mint a kilencvenkilencnek, amelyik nem tévedett el.
14 In the same way [that shepherds do not want one of] their [sheep to stray away], so [God], your Father in heaven, does not want [even] one of these children to go to hell.” (questioned)
Hasonlóképpen a ti mennyei Atyátok sem akarja, hogy egy is elvesszen e kicsinyek közül.
15 “If a fellow believer sins [against you], go [to him], and when you two are alone, reprove him [for sinning against you]. If that person listens to you [and feels sorry that he has sinned against you], you will have restored [your friendship with] that person.
„Ha pedig atyádfia vétkezik ellened, menj el, és dorgáld meg négyszemközt: ha hallgat rád, megnyerted atyádfiát.
16 If that person will not listen to you [nor feel sorry that he has sinned against you], go get one or two other people [who will listen to what you both have to say]. Have them go with you so that [what is written] {[Moses wrote]} [in the Scriptures might happen: ] ‘[When one person accuses another in some matter], it should be confirmed by [at least] two or three people {[at least] two or three people should confirm it} [before that person can be declared] guilty {[before they declare that person guilty]}.’
Ha pedig nem hallgat rád, végy magad mellé még egy vagy két embert, »hogy két vagy három tanú vallomásával erősítsen meg minden szót.«
17 If the one who has sinned against you will not listen to them [or does not feel sorry that he has sinned against you], tell that to the congregation [so that they can rebuke him]. If that person will not listen to the congregation [or feel sorry that he has sinned against you, exclude him from being a member of your congregation, just like] you [would exclude] pagans, tax collectors, [and others who do not believe in God and sin greatly].
Ha azokra sem hallgat, mondd meg a gyülekezetnek. Ha a gyülekezetre sem hallgat, legyen előtted olyan, mint a pogány és a vámszedő.
18 Keep this in mind: Whatever you decide on earth [about punishing] or [not punishing a member of your congregation] is what has also been decided by [God] in heaven {what [God] in heaven has also decided}.
Bizony mondom néktek: amit megköttök a földön, a mennyben is kötve lesz, amit feloldotok a földön, a mennyben is oldva lesz.
19 Also note this: If [at least] two of you [who live] here on earth agree together about something you ask [God] for [DOU], [God], my Father [who is] in heaven, will give you what you ask for.
Ismét mondom néktek, hogyha ketten közületek egyetértenek a földön minden dologban, amit csak kérnek, megadja nekik az én mennyei Atyám.
20 [This is true], because wherever [at least] two or three of you assemble because you believe in me [MTY], I am [spiritually] present with you. I [will hear what you ask for and I will ask God to do it for you].”
Mert ahol ketten vagy hárman összegyűlnek az én nevemben: ott vagyok közöttük.“
21 Then Peter approached [Jesus] and said to him, “How many times must I forgive a fellow believer who [keeps on] sinning against me? [If he keeps asking me to forgive him, must I forgive him] as many as seven times?”
Ekkor odament hozzá Péter, és ezt mondta: „Uram, hányszor lehet atyámfiának ellenem vétkeznie, és neki megbocsátanom? Még hétszer is?“
22 Jesus said to him, “I tell you [that the number of] times [you must forgive someone is] not just up to seven, but [you must] ([forgive him] 77 times/never stop forgiving him).
Jézus ezt mondta neki: „Nem azt mondom neked, hogy még hétszer is, hanem még hetvenhétszer is.
23 [In order to illustrate] why [you should do this], I [will tell you a story in which] God [MTY/EUP], [who cares for] the people whose lives he rules over, is compared {I compare God, [who cares for] the people whose lives he rules over} to a king [and his officials]. That king told [some of his servants that he wanted] his officials to pay what they owed him.
Ezért hasonlatos a mennyek országa a királyhoz, aki számot akart vetni az ő szolgáival.
24 [So those officials were brought to the king to] settle [their accounts with him]. [One of the officials who were brought] owed the king several million dollars.
Amikor pedig számot kezdett vetni, hoztak eléje egyet, aki tízezer talentummal volt adós.
25 But because he did not have [enough money] to pay [what he owed], the king demanded that he, his wife, his children and all he possessed be sold [to someone else, and that the king] be repaid [with] {receive} [the money that was paid for them].
Mivel nem tudott fizetni, megparancsolta ura, hogy adják el őt, feleségét és gyerekeit, és mindenét, amije van, és fizessen.
26 Then that official, [knowing that he did not have the money to pay that huge debt], fell on his knees [in front of the king] and begged him saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you all of it, [eventually].’
A szolga ezért leborult előtte, könyörgött neki, és ezt mondta: Uram, légy türelemmel hozzám, és mindent megfizetek neked.
27 The king, [knowing that the official could never pay all that huge debt], felt sorry for him. So he canceled his debt and released him.
Az úr pedig megszánta a szolgát, elbocsátotta őt, és az adósságát is elengedte neki.
28 Then this official went to another one of the king’s officials who owed him a bit less than a year’s wages. He grabbed him [by the throat], started choking him, and said to him, ‘Pay back what you owe [me]!’
A szolga pedig kiment, és találkozott eggyel az ő szolgatársai közül, aki száz dénárral volt neki adós. Megragadta, fojtogatni kezdte, és ezt mondta: Fizesd meg nekem, amivel tartozol.
29 That official fell on his knees and begged him saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you all of it, [eventually].’
Szolgatársa ekkor leborult a lábai elé, és könyörgött neki: Légy türelemmel hozzám, és mindent megfizetek neked.
30 But this official kept refusing [to cancel that small debt that the man owed him]. Instead, he [caused that official to be] put in prison [and to stay there] until he could pay back all the money that he owed him.
De ő ezt nem akarta, hanem elment, börtönbe vettette addig, amíg megfizeti, amivel tartozik neki.
31 When the other officials [of the king] learned that this had happened, they felt very distressed. So they went to the king and reported in detail what had happened.
Amikor szolgatársai látták, hogy mi történt, nagyon megszomorodtak. Elmentek, és jelentettek uruknak mindent, ami történt.
32 Then the king summoned the official [who had owed him several million dollars]. He said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I canceled that huge debt [that you owed me] because you begged me [to do so]
Akkor magához hívatta őt ura, és ezt mondta neki: Gonosz szolga, minden adósságodat elengedtem neked, mert könyörögtél nekem.
33 You should have been merciful [and canceled your fellow official’s debt], just like I was merciful to you [and canceled your debt] [RHQ]!’
Nem kellett volna neked is könyörülnöd szolgatársadon, amint én is könyörültem rajtad?
34 The king was very angry. He handed this official over to some jailers who would torture him severely until he paid all of the debt that he owed.”
Ekkor megharagudott az ura, átadta őt a hóhérok kezébe, míg meg nem fizet mindent, amivel tartozik.
35 [Then Jesus continued by saying], “That is what my Father in heaven will do to you if you do not [feel merciful and] sincerely forgive a fellow believer [who sins against you].”
Így cselekszik az én mennyei Atyám is veletek, ha szívetekből meg nem bocsátjátok, ki-ki az ő atyjafiának a vétkeiket.“
