Matthew 18
1 At that hour the disciples came near to Jesus, saying, “Who, now, is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?”
Umbes sel ajal tulid jüngrid Jeesuse juurde ja küsisid: „Kes on suurim taevariigis?“
2 And Jesus having called near a child, set him in the midst of them,
Jeesus hõikas ligi ühe väikse lapse. Ta lasi lapsel nende ette seista.
3 and said, “Truly I say to you, if you may not be turned and become as the children, you may not enter into the kingdom of the heavens;
„Ma ütlen teile tõtt: kui te ei muuda oma mõtteviisi ega saa väikeste laste sarnaseks, ei pääse te taevariiki, “ütles ta neile.
4 whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.
„Aga kes iganes end alandab ja saab selle väikse lapse sarnaseks, on suurim taevariigis.
5 And he who may receive one such child in My Name, receives Me,
Kes iganes võtab seesuguse väikse lapse vastu minu nimel, võtab vastu minu.
6 and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in Me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged on his neck, and he may be sunk 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 to the world from the stumbling-blocks! For there is necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but woe to that man through whom the stumbling-block comes!
Missugune suur õnnetus on tulemas maailmale kõigi kiusatuste tõttu patustada! Kiusatused tulevad küll, kuid häda inimesele, kelle läbi kiusatus tuleb!
8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut them off and cast [them] from you; it is good for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the continuous 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 causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast from you; it is good for you to enter into life one-eyed, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of 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 Beware! You may not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their messengers in the heavens always behold the face of My Father who is in the heavens,
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 came to save the lost.]]
12 What do you think? If a man may have one hundred sheep, and there may go astray one of them, does he not—having left the ninety-nine, having gone on the mountains—seek 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 it may come to pass that he finds it, truly I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone 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 so it is not [the] will in [the] presence of your Father who is in the heavens that one of these little ones may perish.
Samamoodi ei taha mu taevane Isa, et ükski neist pisikestest kaduma läheks.
15 And if your brother may sin against you, go and show him his fault between you and him alone, if he may hear you, you 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 and if he may not hear, take with you yet one or two, that by the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may stand.
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 may not hear them, say [it] to the assembly, and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to you as the heathen man and the tax collector.
Aga kui ta ikka keeldub kuulamast, siis räägi kogudusele. Kui ta keeldub ka kogudust kuulamast, siis kohtle teda kui võõramaalast ja maksukogujat.
18 Truly I say to you, whatever things you may bind on the earth will be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever things you may loose on the earth will be having been loosed in the heavens.
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 to you that if two of you may agree on the earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask—it will be done to them from My Father who is in the heavens,
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 there are two or three gathered together—to 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 Peter having come near to Him, said, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him—until 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 to him, “I do not say to you until seven times, but until seventy times seven.
„Ei, mitte seitse korda. Ma ütlen, seitsekümmend korda seitse korda!“vastas Jeesus talle.
23 Because of this was the kingdom of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who willed to take reckoning with his servants,
„Sellepärast on taevariik kuninga sarnane, kes tahtis ajada arvepidamise korda sulastega, kes talle raha võlgu olid.
24 and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents,
Kui ta hakkas arvepidamist uurima, toodi tema ette üks sulane, kes oli talle võlgu kümme tuhat talenti.
25 and he having nothing to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever 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 then, having fallen down, was prostrating to 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 and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion released him, and the debt he forgave him.
Isandal hakkas sulasest kahju, ta lasi sulase vabaks ja tühistas võla.
28 And that servant having come forth, found one of his fellow-servants who was owing him one hundred denarii, and having laid hold, he took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that which 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 His fellow-servant then, having fallen down at his feet, was calling on 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 having gone away, he cast him into prison, until he might pay that which was owing.
Aga mees keeldus ning läks ja viskas oma kaassulase vanglasse, kuniks ta oma võla ära tasub.
31 And his fellow-servants having seen the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, and having come, showed fully to their lord all the things that were done;
Kui teised sulased toimunut nägid, olid nad rabatud ja vapustatud. Nad läksid ja rääkisid isandale kõigest, mis oli juhtunud.
32 then having called him, his lord says to him, Evil servant! All that debt I forgave you, seeing you called on me;
Siis kutsus isand mehe tagasi ja ütles talle: „Sina kuri sulane! Ma kustutasin kogu su võla, sest sa anusid mind.
33 did it not seem necessary to you to have dealt kindly with your fellow servant, as I also dealt kindly with you?
Kas ei oleks pidanud sa halastama oma kaassulase peale samamoodi, nagu mina sinu peale halastasin?“
34 And having been angry, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, until he might pay all that was owing to him;
Tema isand sai pahaseks ja andis ta vangivalvurite kätte, kuni ta kogu oma võla ära tasub.
35 so also My heavenly Father will do to you, if you may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.”
Nii toimib minu taevane Isa kõigi teiega, kui te siiralt oma vendadele andeks ei anna.“
