马太福音 18
1 这时门徒前来问耶稣：“天国里谁最伟大？”
In that our the disciplis camen to Jhesu, and seiden, Who, gessist thou, is gretter in the kyngdom of heuenes?
2 耶稣叫来一个小孩子站在他们当中，说：
And Jhesus clepide a litil child, and putte hym in the myddil of hem;
3 “实话告诉你们，如果你们不改变思维方式，变成像小孩子一样，一定不能进天国。
and seide, Y seie treuthe to you, but ye be turned, and maad as litle children, ye schulen not entre in to the kyngdom of heuenes.
4 所以，凡谦卑如这小孩子，在天国里便最伟大。
Therfor who euer mekith hym as this litil child, he is gretter in the kyngdom of heuenes.
5 凡因我之名接受这样的小孩子，便是接受我。
And he that resseyueth o siche litil child in my name, resseyueth me.
6 但任何人如让这信我的小孩犯罪，最好在他们的脖子上系一块大磨石，把他沉在深海。
But who so sclaundrith oon of these smale, that bileuen in me, it spedith to hym that a mylnstoon `of assis be hangid in his necke, and he be drenchid in the depnesse of the see.
7 灾祸正在降临这个世界，因为这里有太多让人犯罪的诱惑。诱惑必然降临，但对于带来诱惑之人，这必是一场灾难！
Woo to the world, for sclaundris; for it is nede that sclaundris come; netheles wo to thilke man bi whom a sclaundre cometh.
And if thin hoond or thi foot sclaundreth thee, kitte it of, and caste awei fro thee. It is betere to thee to entre to lijf feble, ethir crokid, than hauynge tweyne hoondis or twey feet to be sent in to euerlastynge fier. (aiōnios g166)
And if thin iye sclaundre thee, pulle it out, and caste awei fro thee. It is betere to thee with oon iye to entre in to lijf, thanne hauynge tweyn iyen to be sent in to the fier of helle. (Geenna g1067)
10 你们要小心，不要轻视任何小孩。我告诉你们，他们的天使在天上，常常见到天父的面。
Se ye, that ye dispise not oon of these litle. For Y seie to you, that the aungels of hem in heuenes seen euermore the face of my fadir that is in heuenes.
For mannus sone cam to saue that thing that perischide.
12 一个人有一百只羊，如果丢了一只，他会不把九十九只留在山上，去寻找迷失的那只？你们认为呢？
What semeth to you? If ther weren to sum man an hundrid scheep, and oon of hem hath errid, whethir he schal not leeue nynti and nyne in desert, and schal go to seche that that erride?
13 告诉你吧，他若找到了丢失的羊，就只是为这一只羊欢喜，胜过那未迷路的九十九只。
And if it falle that he fynde it, treuli Y seie to you, that he schal haue ioye theron more than on nynti and nyne that erriden not.
14 同理，你们的天父也不愿意丢失任何一个小孩子。
So it is not the wille bifor youre fadir that is in heuenes, that oon of these litle perische.
15 如果你的兄弟对你做出罪行，在与他单独相处时，要指出他的过失。如果他肯听，便还是你的兄弟。
But if thi brother synneth ayens thee, go thou, and repreue hym, bitwixe thee and hym aloone; if he herith thee, thou hast wonnun thi brother.
16 如果他不肯听，就再带一两个人，凭两三个证人之口，就会更加确认真相。
And if he herith thee not, take with thee oon or tweyne, that euery word stonde in the mouth of tweyne or thre witnessis.
17 如果他还是不听，就告诉教会，如果他连教会也不听，就把他看作异教徒和税吏吧。
And if he herith not hem, seie thou to the chirche. But if he herith not the chirche, be he as an hethen and a pupplican to thee.
18 告诉你们实话吧，你们在地上禁止的，在天上也被禁止，你们在地上允许的，在天上也被允许。
Y seie to you treuli, what euer thingis ye bynden on erthe, tho schulen be boundun also in heuene; and what euer thingis ye vnbynden on erthe, tho schulen be vnboundun also in heuene.
19 我还要告诉你们，人间若有两人同心祈求一件事，我的天父必为他们成全。
Eftsoone Y seie to you, that if tweyne of you consenten on the erthe, of euery thing what euer thei axen, it schal be don to hem of my fadir that is in heuenes.
20 因为无论在哪里，有两三个人以我之名相聚，我就与他们同在。”
For where tweyne or thre ben gaderid in my name, there Y am in the myddil of hem.
21 这时彼得前来问耶稣：“主啊，如果我的兄弟得罪我，我可饶恕他多少次？七次吗？”
Thanne Petre cam to hym, and seide, Lord, how ofte schal my brother synne ayens me, and Y schal foryyue hym?
22 耶稣对他说：“不是七次，而是七次的七十倍。
Whether til seuen tymes? Jhesus seith to hym, Y seie not to thee, til seuene sithis; but til seuenti sithis seuene sithis.
23 所以天国如一个国王，要和欠其钱财的仆人算账。
Therfor the kyngdom of heuenes is licned to a kyng, that wolde rekyn with hise seruauntis.
24 当他开始清算时，一个仆人被带到他面前，此人欠下一万银币。
And whanne he bigan to rekene, oon that ouyte ten thousynde talentis, was brouyt to hym.
25 他没有钱偿还，主人就下令叫人把他和妻小以及一切统统卖掉，用来偿还。
And whanne he hadde not wherof to yelde, his lord comaundide hym to be seld, and his wijf, and children, and alle thingis that he hadde, and to be paied.
26 那仆人就跪下拜他，说：‘请宽容我，我会把一切偿还于你。’
But thilke seruaunt felde doun, and preiede hym, and seide, Haue pacience in me, and Y schal yelde to thee alle thingis.
27 主人动了慈悲心，便把那仆人放了，免了他的债。
And the lord hadde merci on that seruaunt, and suffride hym to go, and foryaf to hym the dette.
28 但之后，这仆人遇到欠他一百个银币之人，就抓住对方并扼其喉咙，说：‘把你欠我的钱还给我。’
But thilke seruaunt yede out, and foonde oon of his euen seruauntis, that ouyte hym an hundrid pens; and he helde hym, and stranglide hym, and seide, Yelde that that thou owest.
29 那人与他都是仆人，跪下求他说：‘请宽容我，我会还给你。’
And his euen seruaunt felle doun, and preyede hym, and seide, Haue pacience in me, and Y schal quyte alle thingis to thee.
30 他却不肯，反而把另一人押走并关进监牢，等他把所欠的钱财还清。
But he wolde not; but wente out, and putte hym in to prisoun, til he paiede al the dette.
31 其他的仆人见到此景非常沮丧，就去向主人报告这一切。
And hise euen seruauntis, seynge the thingis that weren don, soreweden greetli. And thei camen, and telden to her lord alle the thingis that weren don.
32 于是主人叫他来，对他说：‘你这个恶仆，你求我，我就免了你欠我的一切。
Thanne his lord clepide hym, and seide to hym, Wickid seruaunt, Y foryaf to thee al the dette, for thou preiedist me.
33 难道你不应像我怜悯你一样，怜悯你的同伴吗？’
Therfor whether it bihouede not also thee to haue merci on thin euen seruaunt, as Y hadde merci on thee?
34 主人大怒，把他送去服刑，等他把所欠的一切还清。
And his lord was wroth, and took hym to turmentouris, til he paiede al the dette.
35 如果你们不从心里饶恕你的兄弟，我的天父也必这样待你们。”
So my fadir of heuene schal do to you, if ye foryyuen not euery man to his brother, of youre hertes.
