Mattheum 19
1 Et factum est, cum consummasset Iesus sermones istos, migravit a Galilaea, et venit in fines Iudaeae trans Iordanem,
When Jesus had finished saying these things, he departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 et secutae sunt eum turbae multae, et curavit eos ibi.
Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Et accesserunt ad eum Pharisaei tentantes eum, et dicentes: Si licet homini dimittere uxorem suam, quacumque ex causa?
Then the Pharisees came up to Jesus and tested him by asking him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 Qui respondens, ait eis: Non legistis, quia qui fecit hominem ab initio, masculum, et feminam fecit eos? et dixit:
He answered them, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning ‘made them male and female,’
5 Propter hoc dimittet homo patrem, et matrem, et adhaerebit uxori suae, et erunt duo in carne una.
and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
6 itaque iam non sunt duo, sed una caro. Quod ergo Deus coniunxit, homo non separet.
So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate.”
7 Dicunt illi: Quid ergo Moyses mandavit dare libellum repudii, et dimittere?
They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8 Ait illis: Quoniam Moyses ad duritiam cordis vestri permisit vobis dimittere uxores vestras: ab initio autem non fuit sic.
He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
9 Dico autem vobis, quia quicumque dimiserit uxorem suam, nisi ob fornicationem, et aliam duxerit, moechatur: et qui dimissam duxerit, moechatur.
I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”
10 Dicunt ei discipuli eius: Si ita est causa hominis cum uxore, non expedit nubere.
His disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Qui dixit illis: Non omnes capiunt verbum istud, sed quibus datum est.
But Jesus said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it is given.
12 Sunt enim eunuchi, qui de matris utero sic nati sunt: et sunt eunuchi, qui facti sunt ab hominibus: et sunt eunuchi, qui seipsos castraverunt propter regnum caelorum. Qui potest capere capiat.
For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever is able to accept this should accept it.”
13 Tunc oblati sunt ei parvuli, ut manus eis imponeret, et oraret. Discipuli autem increpabant eos.
Then little children were brought to Jesus so that he might lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 Iesus vero ait eis: Sinite parvulos, et nolite eos prohibere ad me venire: talium est enim regnum caelorum.
Yet Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15 Et cum imposuisset eis manus, abiit inde.
And after laying his hands on them, he departed from there.
16 Et ecce unus accedens, ait illi: Magister bone, quid boni faciam ut habeam vitam aeternam? (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a man came and said to him, “Good Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Qui dixit ei: Quid me interrogas de bono? Unus est bonus, Deus. Si autem vis ad vitam ingredi, serva mandata.
Jesus said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone. But if yoʋ wish to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18 Dicit illi: Quae? Iesus autem dixit: Non homicidium facies: Non adulterabis: Non facies furtum: Non falsum testimonium dices:
The man said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “Yoʋ shall not murder, Yoʋ shall not commit adultery, Yoʋ shall not steal, Yoʋ shall not give false testimony,
19 Honora patrem tuum, et matrem tuam, et diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother, and, Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor as yoʋrself.”
20 Dicit illi adolescens: Omnia haec custodivi, quid adhuc mihi deest?
The young man said to him, “All these I have kept from my youth; what do I still lack?”
21 Ait illi Iesus: Si vis perfectus esse, vade, vende omnia quae habes, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in caelo: et veni, sequere me.
Jesus said to him, “If yoʋ wish to be perfect, go sell what yoʋ have and give to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven; then come follow me.”
22 Cum audisset autem adolescens verbum, abiit tristis: erat enim habens multas possessiones.
But when the young man heard this, he went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.
23 Iesus autem dixit discipulis suis: Amen dico vobis, quia dives difficile intrabit in regnum caelorum.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Et iterum dico vobis: Facilius est camelum per foramen acus transire, quam divitem intrare in regnum caelorum.
Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 Auditis autem his, discipuli mirabantur valde, dicentes: Quis ergo poterit salvus esse?
When his disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Aspiciens autem Iesus, dixit illis: Apud homines hoc impossibile est: apud Deum autem omnia possibilia sunt.
Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Tunc respondens Petrus, dixit ei: Ecce nos reliquimus omnia, et secuti sumus te: quid ergo erit nobis?
Then Peter said to him in response, “Behold, we have left everything and followed yoʋ; what then will there be for us?”
28 Iesus autem dixit illis: Amen dico vobis, quod vos, qui secuti estis me, in regeneratione cum sederit filius hominis in sede maiestatis suae, sedebitis et vos super sedes duodecim, iudicantes duodecim tribus Israel.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, when all things are made new and the Son of Man sits on his throne of glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Et omnis, qui reliquerit domum, vel fratres, aut sorores, aut patrem, aut matrem, aut uxorem, aut filios, aut agros propter nomen meum, centuplum accipiet, et vitam aeternam possidebit. (aiōnios g166)
And everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or fields for my name's sake, will receive a hundred times more and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Multi autem erunt primi novissimi, et novissimi primi.
But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
