Matthew 18
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Umbes sel ajal tulid jüngrid Jeesuse juurde ja küsisid: „Kes on suurim taevariigis?“
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
Jeesus hõikas ligi ühe väikse lapse. Ta lasi lapsel nende ette seista.
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except all of you be converted, and become as little children, all of you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
„Ma ütlen teile tõtt: kui te ei muuda oma mõtteviisi ega saa väikeste laste sarnaseks, ei pääse te taevariiki, “ütles ta neile.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
„Aga kes iganes end alandab ja saab selle väikse lapse sarnaseks, on suurim taevariigis.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives me.
Kes iganes võtab seesuguse väikse lapse vastu minu nimel, võtab vastu minu.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Aga kes iganes suunab patustama ühe neist väikestest, kes minusse usuvad, sellele oleks parem, kui tema kaela seotaks suur veskikivi ja ta uputataks mere sügavustesse.
7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must essentially be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence comes!
Missugune suur õnnetus on tulemas maailmale kõigi kiusatuste tõttu patustada! Kiusatused tulevad küll, kuid häda inimesele, kelle läbi kiusatus tuleb!
8 Wherefore if your hand or your foot offend you, cut them off, and cast them from you: it is better for you to enter into life halt or physically disabled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
Kui su käsi või jalg sunnib sind patustama, siis lõika see maha ja viska minema. Parem on minna vigase või lombakana igavesse ellu kui omada kaht kätt või kaht jalga ja saada igavesse tulle heidetud. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if your eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: it is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
Kui su silm sunnib sind patustama, siis tõmba see välja ja viska minema. Parem on minna ühe silmaga igavesse ellu kui omada kaht silma ja saada igavesse tulle heidetud. (Geenna g1067)
10 Take heed that all of you despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
Olge hoolsad, et te ei põlgaks neid väikesi. Ma ütlen teile, et inglid taevas on alati mu taevase Isaga koos.
11 For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.
12 How think all of you? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and goes into the mountains, and seeks that which is gone astray?
Mida te sellest arvate? Kui ühel mehel on sada lammast ja üks neist läheb kaotsi, kas ta ei jäta siis üheksakümmend üheksa kingule ega lähe otsima seda üht, kes on kadunud?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
Ja kui ta tema leiab, ma ütlen teile, ta tunneb selle lamba üle rohkem rõõmu kui üheksakümne üheksa üle, kes ei läinud kaduma.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Samamoodi ei taha mu taevane Isa, et ükski neist pisikestest kaduma läheks.
15 Moreover if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he shall hear you, you have gained your brother.
Kui vend sinu vastu patustab, siis mine ja juhi tema tähelepanu eksimusele, ainult nelja silma all. Kui ta sind kuulab, oled sa oma venna enda poole võitnud.
16 But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word (rhema) may be established.
Aga kui ta ei kuula, siis võta endaga veel üks või kaks inimest, nii et tõde saaks kinnitada kaks või kolm tunnistajat.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto you as an heathen man and a publican.
Aga kui ta ikka keeldub kuulamast, siis räägi kogudusele. Kui ta keeldub ka kogudust kuulamast, siis kohtle teda kui võõramaalast ja maksukogujat.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever all of you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever all of you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Ma ütlen teile tõtt: mida iganes te maa peal keelate, on ka taevas keelatud, ja mida iganes te maa peal lubate, on lubatud ka taevas.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as concerning any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Ma ütlen teile ka, et kui kaks teist on siin maa peal ühel nõul millegi pärast palvetamas, siis mu taevane Isa teeb seda teie heaks.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Sest kus kaks või kolm on koos minu nimel, seal olen mina nendega koos.“
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Peetrus tuli Jeesuse juurde ja küsis temalt: „Mitu korda peaksin ma oma vennale andestama, kui ta minu vastu pattu teeb? Kas seitse korda?“
22 Jesus says unto him, I say not unto you, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
„Ei, mitte seitse korda. Ma ütlen, seitsekümmend korda seitse korda!“vastas Jeesus talle.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account (logos) of his servants.
„Sellepärast on taevariik kuninga sarnane, kes tahtis ajada arvepidamise korda sulastega, kes talle raha võlgu olid.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Kui ta hakkas arvepidamist uurima, toodi tema ette üks sulane, kes oli talle võlgu kümme tuhat talenti.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Kuna tal ei olnud tasumiseks raha, andis isand korralduse müüa ära sulane koos naise, laste ja kogu omandiga, et võlg saaks tasutud.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
Sulane langes põlvedele ja ütles oma isandale: „Palun ole minuga kannatlik! Ma maksan kõik tagasi!“
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Isandal hakkas sulasest kahju, ta lasi sulase vabaks ja tühistas võla.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that you owe.
Aga kui seesama sulane läks välja, leidis ta oma kaassulase, kes oli talle võlgu kõigest sada denaari. Ta haaras tal kõrist kinni ja kägistas teda ning ütles: „Maksa tagasi, mis sa mulle võlgu oled!“
29 And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
Tema kaassulane langes mehe jalge ette maha ja anus teda: „Palun ole minuga kannatlik! Ma maksan sulle tagasi!“
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
Aga mees keeldus ning läks ja viskas oma kaassulase vanglasse, kuniks ta oma võla ära tasub.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Kui teised sulased toimunut nägid, olid nad rabatud ja vapustatud. Nad läksid ja rääkisid isandale kõigest, mis oli juhtunud.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me:
Siis kutsus isand mehe tagasi ja ütles talle: „Sina kuri sulane! Ma kustutasin kogu su võla, sest sa anusid mind.
33 Should not you also have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?
Kas ei oleks pidanud sa halastama oma kaassulase peale samamoodi, nagu mina sinu peale halastasin?“
34 And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Tema isand sai pahaseks ja andis ta vangivalvurite kätte, kuni ta kogu oma võla ära tasub.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if all of you from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Nii toimib minu taevane Isa kõigi teiega, kui te siiralt oma vendadele andeks ei anna.“
