< Matthew 18 >

1 On the same occasion the disciples came to Jesus, and asked him: “Who is really the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
В той час приступиша ученицы ко Иисусу, глаголюще: кто убо болий есть в Царствии Небеснем?
2 Jesus called a little child to him, and placed it in the middle of them, and then said:
И призвав Иисус отроча, постави е посреде их
3 “I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven at all.
и рече: аминь глаголю вам, аще не обратитеся и будете яко дети, не внидете в Царство Небесное:
4 Therefore, any one who will humble himself like this child — that man shall be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
иже убо смирится яко отроча сие, той есть болий во Царствии Небеснем:
5 And any one who, for the sake of my Name, welcomes even one little child like this, is welcoming me.
и иже аще приимет отроча таково во имя Мое, Мене приемлет:
6 But, if any one puts a snare in the way of one of these lowly ones who believe in me, it would be best for him to be sunk in the depths of the sea with a great millstone hung round his neck.
а иже аще соблазнит единаго малых сих верующих в Мя, уне есть ему, да обесится жернов оселский на выи его, и потонет в пучине морстей.
7 Alas for the world because of such snares! There cannot but be snares; yet alas for the man who is answerable for the snare!
Горе миру от соблазн: нужда бо есть приити соблазном: обаче горе человеку тому, имже соблазн приходит.
8 If your hand or your foot is a snare to you, cut it off, and throw it away. It would be better for you to enter the Life maimed or lame, than to have both hands, or both feet, and be thrown into the aeonian fire. (aiōnios g166)
Аще ли рука твоя или нога твоя соблажняет тя, отсецы ю и верзи от себе: добрейше ти есть внити в живот хрому или бедну, неже две руце и две нозе имущу ввержену быти во огнь вечный: (aiōnios g166)
9 If your eye is a snare to you, take it out, and throw it away. It would be better for you to enter the Life with only one eye, than to have both eyes and be thrown into the fiery Pit. (Geenna g1067)
и аще око твое соблажняет тя, изми е и верзи от себе: добрейше ти есть со единем оком в живот внити, неже две оце имущу ввержену быти в геенну огненную. (Geenna g1067)
10 Beware of despising one of these lowly ones, for in Heaven, I tell you, their angels always see the face of my Father who is in Heaven.
Блюдите, да не презрите единаго (от) малых сих: глаголю бо вам, яко Ангели их на небесех выну видят лице Отца Моего Небеснаго.
Прииде бо Сын Человеческий (взыскати и) спасти погибшаго.
12 What think you? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them strays, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills, and go and search for the one that is straying?
Что вам мнится? Аще будет некоему человеку сто овец, и заблудит едина от них: не оставит ли девятьдесят и девять в горах и шед ищет заблуждшия?
13 And, if he succeeds in finding it, I tell you that he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine which did not stray.
И аще будет обрести ю, аминь глаголю вам, яко радуется о ней паче, неже о девятидесятих и девяти не заблуждших.
14 So, too, it is the will of my Father who is in Heaven that not one of these lowly ones should be lost.
Тако несть воля пред Отцем вашим Небесным, да погибнет един от малых сих.
15 If your Brother does wrong, go to him and convince him of his fault when you and he are alone. If he listens to you, you have won your Brother.
Аще же согрешит к тебе брат твой, иди и обличи его между тобою и тем единем: аще тебе послушает, приобрел еси брата твоего:
16 But, if he does not listen to you, take with you one or two others, so that ‘on the evidence of two or three witnesses, every word may be put beyond dispute.’
аще ли тебе не послушает, поими с собою еще единаго или два, да при устех двою или триех свидетелей станет всяк глагол:
17 If he refuses to listen to them, speak to the Church; and, if he also refuses to listen to the Church, treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax-gatherer.
аще же не послушает их, повеждь церкви: аще же и церковь преслушает, буди тебе якоже язычник и мытарь.
18 I tell you, all that you forbid on earth will be held in Heaven to be forbidden, and all that you allow on earth will be held in Heaven to be allowed.
Аминь (бо) глаголю вам: елика аще свяжете на земли, будут связана на небеси: и елика аще разрешите на земли, будут разрешена на небесех.
19 Again, I tell you that, if but two of you on earth agree as to what they shall pray for, whatever it be, it will be granted them by my Father who is in Heaven.
Паки аминь глаголю вам, яко аще два от вас совещаета на земли о всяцей вещи, еяже аще просита, будет има от Отца Моего, Иже на небесех:
20 For where two or three have come together in my Name, I am present with them.”
идеже бо еста два или трие собрани во имя Мое, ту есмь посреде их.
21 Then Peter came up, and said to Jesus: “Master, how often am I to forgive my Brother when he wrongs me? As many as seven times?”
Тогда приступль к Нему Петр рече: Господи, колькраты аще согрешит в мя брат мой, и отпущу ли ему до седмь крат?
22 But Jesus answered: “Not seven times, but ‘seventy times seven.’
Глагола ему Иисус: не глаголю тебе: до седмь крат, но до седмьдесят крат седмерицею.
23 And therefore the Kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
Сего ради уподобися Царствие Небесное человеку царю, иже восхоте стязатися о словеси с рабы своими.
24 When he had begun to do so, one of them was brought to him who owed him six million pounds;
Наченшу же ему стязатися, приведоша ему единаго должника тмою талант:
25 and, as he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold towards the payment of the debt, together with his wife, and his children, and everything that he had.
не имущу же ему воздати, повеле и господь его продати, и жену его, и чада, и вся, елика имеяше, и отдати.
26 Thereupon the servant threw himself down on the ground before him and said ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’
Пад убо раб той, кланяшеся ему, глаголя: господи, потерпи на мне, и вся ти воздам.
27 The master was moved with compassion; and he let him go, and forgave him the debt.
Милосердовав же господь раба того, прости его и долг отпусти ему.
28 But, on going out, that same servant came upon one of his fellow-servants who owed him ten pounds. Seizing him by the throat, he said ‘Pay what you owe me.’
Изшед же раб той, обрете единаго (от) клеврет своих, иже бе должен ему стом пенязь: и емь его давляше, глаголя: отдаждь ми, имже (ми) еси должен.
29 Thereupon his fellow-servant threw himself on the ground and begged for mercy. ‘Have patience with me,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you.’
Пад убо клеврет его на нозе его, моляше его, глаголя: потерпи на мне, и вся воздам ти.
30 But the other would not, but went and put him in prison till he should pay his debt.
Он же не хотяше, но вед всади его в темницу, дондеже воздаст должное.
31 When his fellow-servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and went to their master and laid the whole matter before him.
Видевше же клеврети его бывшая, сжалиша си зело и пришедше сказаша господину своему вся бывшая.
32 Upon that the master sent for the servant, and said to him ‘You wicked servant! When you begged me for mercy, I forgave you the whole of that debt.
Тогда призвав его господин его, глагола ему: рабе лукавый, весь долг он отпустих тебе, понеже умолил мя еси:
33 Ought not you, also, to have shown mercy to your fellow-servant, just as I showed mercy to you?’
не подобаше ли и тебе помиловати клеврета твоего, якоже и аз тя помиловах?
34 Then his master, in anger, handed him over to the jailers, until he should pay the whole of his debt.
И прогневався господь его, предаде его мучителем, дондеже воздаст весь долг свой.
35 So, also, will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each one of you forgives his Brother from his heart.”
Тако и Отец Мой Небесный сотворит вам, аще не отпустите кийждо брату своему от сердец ваших прегрешения их.
