Matthieu 18

1 D'an eur-se, an diskibien a dostaas ouzh Jezuz, hag a lavaras: Piv eta eo ar brasañ e rouantelezh an neñvoù?

In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 Jezuz, o vezañ galvet ur bugel bihan, en lakaas en o c'hreiz,

And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them,

3 hag a lavaras: Me a lavar deoc'h e gwirionez, penaos ma ne zistroit ket, ha ma ne zeuit ket heñvel ouzh bugale vihan, ne deot ket e rouantelezh an neñvoù.

And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Piv bennak eta en em izelaio evel ar bugel bihan-se, a vo ar brasañ e rouantelezh an neñvoù.

Whoever, then, will make himself as low as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 Ha piv bennak a zegemer em anv ur bugel bihan evel hemañ, a zegemer ac'hanon.

And whoever gives honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me:

6 Met piv bennak a roio skouer fall da unan eus ar re vihan-se a gred ennon, ez eo gwelloc'h dezhañ e vefe staget ouzh e c'houzoug ur maen milin, hag e vefe taolet e donder ar mor.

But whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a great stone fixed to his neck, and to come to his end in the deep sea.

7 Gwalleur d'ar bed abalamour d'ar skouerioù fall! Rak ret eo e teufe skouerioù fall, met gwalleur d'an den ma teu drezañ ar skouer fall!

A curse is on the earth because of trouble! for it is necessary for trouble to come; but unhappy is that man through whom the trouble comes.

8 Ma ra da zorn pe da droad lakaat ac'hanout da gouezhañ, troc'h anezhañ, ha taol anezhañ pell diouzhit; rak gwelloc'h eo dit mont er vuhez moñs pe gamm, eget kaout daou dorn pe daou droad ha bezañ taolet en tan peurbadus. (aiōnios g166)

And if your hand or your foot is a cause of trouble, let it be cut off and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with the loss of a hand or a foot than, having two hands or two feet, to go into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)

9 Ha ma ra da lagad lakaat ac'hanout da gouezhañ, diframm anezhañ, ha taol anezhañ pell diouzhit; gwelloc'h eo dit mont er vuhez born, eget kaout da zaoulagad ha bezañ taolet e tan ar gehenn. (Geenna g1067)

And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out, and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)

10 Diwallit da zisprizañ nikun eus ar vugaligoù-mañ, rak me a lavar deoc'h penaos o aeled en neñvoù a wel dalc'hmat dremm va Zad a zo en neñvoù.

Let it not seem to you that one of these little ones is of no value; for I say to you that in heaven their angels see at all times the face of my Father in heaven.

11 Rak Mab an den a zo deuet da saveteiñ ar re a oa kollet.

12 Petra a soñj deoc'h? Mar en deus un den kant dañvad, hag e teufe unan anezho da vezañ dianket, ha ne lez ket an naontek ha pevar-ugent all war ar menezioù, evit mont da glask an hini a zo dianket?

What would you say now? if a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone wandering away, will he not let the ninety-nine be, and go to the mountains in search of the wandering one?

13 Ha mar kav anezhañ, me a lavar deoc'h e gwirionez, bez' en deus muioc'h a levenez diwar-benn hemañ eget diwar-benn an naontek ha pevar-ugent ha n'int ket bet dianket.

And if he comes across it, truly I say to you, he has more joy over it than over the ninety-nine which have not gone out of the way.

14 Evel-se, n'eo ket bolontez ho Tad a zo en neñvoù, en em gollfe unan eus ar re vihan-mañ.

Even so it is not the pleasure of your Father in heaven for one of these little ones to come to destruction.

15 Mar en deus pec'het da vreur a-enep dit, kae ha tamall anezhañ etre te hag eñ e-unan; mar selaou ac'hanout, ez po gounezet da vreur.

And if your brother does wrong to you, go, make clear to him his error between you and him in private: if he gives ear to you, you have got your brother back again.

16 Ma ne selaou ket ac'hanout, kemer ganit un den pe zaou, evit ma vo an holl dra reizhet war gomz daou pe dri dest.

But if he will not give ear to you, take with you one or two more, that by the lips of two or three witnesses every word may be made certain.

17 Ma ne selaou ket anezho, lavar d'an Iliz, ha ma ne selaou ket kennebeut an Iliz, ra vo evidout evel ur pagan hag ur publikan.

And if he will not give ear to them, let it come to the hearing of the church: and if he will not give ear to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax-farmer.

18 Me a lavar deoc'h e gwirionez, ar pezh a ereot war an douar a vo ereet en neñv, hag ar pezh a ziereot war an douar a vo diereet en neñv.

Truly I say to you, Whatever things are fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.

19 Me a lavar c'hoazh deoc'h: mar en em laka daou ac'hanoc'h a-unvan war an douar evit goulenn un dra bennak, e vo roet dezho gant va Zad a zo en neñvoù.

Again, I say to you, that if two of you are in agreement on earth about anything for which they will make a request, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

20 Rak e-lec'h ma ez eus daou pe dri dastumet em anv, emaon eno en o c'hreiz.

For where two or three are come together in my name, there am I among them.

21 Neuze Pêr a dostaas outañ hag a lavaras: Aotrou, pet gwech e pardonin da'm breur pa bec'ho em enep? Bez' e vo betek seizh gwech?

Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? till seven times?

22 Jezuz a lavaras dezhañ: Ne lavaran ket dit betek seizh gwech, met betek seizh gwech dek ha tri-ugent.

Jesus says to him, I say not to you, Till seven times; but, Till seventy times seven.

23 Dre-se, rouantelezh an neñvoù a zo heñvel ouzh ur roue a fellas dezhañ ober rentañ kont d'e servijerien.

For this reason the kingdom of heaven is like a king, who went over his accounts with his servants.

24 P'en em lakaas da gontañ, e voe degaset dezhañ unan a dlee dek mil talant.

And at the start, one came to him who was in his debt for ten thousand talents.

25 Dre ma n'en devoa ket peadra da baeañ, e vestr a roas urzh d'e werzhañ, eñ, e wreg, e vugale, ha kement en devoa, evit paeañ e zle.

And because he was not able to make payment, his lord gave orders for him, and his wife, and his sons and daughters, and all he had, to be given for money, and payment to be made.

26 Ar servijer, oc'h en em strinkañ d'e dreid, a bede anezhañ, o lavarout: Aotrou, ro amzer din hag e paein dit va holl zle.

So the servant went down on his face and gave him worship, saying, Lord, give me time to make payment and I will give you all.

27 O kaout truez outañ, mestr ar servijer-se, en lezas da vont, hag a bardonas dezhañ e zle.

And the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, let him go, and made him free of the debt.

28 Goude ma voe aet kuit, ar servijer-mañ a gavas unan eus e genvreudeur a dlee dezhañ kant diner; hag, o kregiñ ennañ, e waske e c'houzoug en ur lavarout: pae ar pezh a dleez din.

But that servant went out, and meeting one of the other servants, who was in debt to him for one hundred pence, he took him by the throat, saying, Make payment of your debt.

29 E genvreur, oc'h en em deurel d'e dreid, a bede anezhañ en ur lavarout: Ro amzer din hag e paein dit.

So that servant went down on his face, requesting him and saying, Give me time and I will make payment to you.

30 Met hemañ ne fellas ket dezhañ; mont a reas d'e deurel er prizon, betek m'en devoa paeet ar pezh a dlee.

And he would not: but went and put him into prison till he had made payment of the debt.

31 E genvreudeur, o welout ar pezh en devoa graet, a voe glac'haret bras; mont a rejont da gontañ d'e aotrou kement a oa c'hoarvezet.

So when the other servants saw what was done they were very sad, and came and gave word to their lord of what had been done.

32 Neuze ar mestr a reas gervel ar servijer-se hag a lavaras dezhañ: Servijer drouk, pardonet em boa dit da holl zle dre ma ez poa va fedet;

Then his lord sent for him and said, You evil servant; I made you free of all that debt, because of your request to me:

33 ha ne dlees ket kaout truez ivez ouzh da genvreur, evel ma em boa bet truez ouzhit?

Was it not right for you to have mercy on the other servant, even as I had mercy on you?

34 Hag e vestr, o kaout droug ennañ, en roas d'ar vourevien, betek m'en devoa paeet kement a dlee.

And his lord was very angry, and put him in the hands of those who would give him punishment till he made payment of all the debt.

35 Evel-se e raio deoc'h va Zad a zo en neñvoù, ma ne bardon ket pep hini ac'hanoc'h, a-greiz e galon, d'e vreur.

So will my Father in heaven do to you, if you do not everyone, from your hearts, give forgiveness to his brother.
