Matthew 18

1 At that hour the disciples came near to Jesus, saying, “Who, now, is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?”

ತದಾನೀಂ ಶಿಷ್ಯಾ ಯೀಶೋಃ ಸಮೀಪಮಾಗತ್ಯ ಪೃಷ್ಟವನ್ತಃ ಸ್ವರ್ಗರಾಜ್ಯೇ ಕಃ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠಃ?

2 And Jesus having called near a child, set him in the midst of them,

ತತೋ ಯೀಶುಃ ಕ್ಷುದ್ರಮೇಕಂ ಬಾಲಕಂ ಸ್ವಸಮೀಪಮಾನೀಯ ತೇಷಾಂ ಮಧ್ಯೇ ನಿಧಾಯ ಜಗಾದ,

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;

ಯುಷ್ಮಾನಹಂ ಸತ್ಯಂ ಬ್ರವೀಮಿ, ಯೂಯಂ ಮನೋವಿನಿಮಯೇನ ಕ್ಷುದ್ರಬಾಲವತ್ ನ ಸನ್ತಃ ಸ್ವರ್ಗರಾಜ್ಯಂ ಪ್ರವೇಷ್ಟುಂ ನ ಶಕ್ನುಥ|

4 whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.

ಯಃ ಕಶ್ಚಿದ್ ಏತಸ್ಯ ಕ್ಷುದ್ರಬಾಲಕಸ್ಯ ಸಮಮಾತ್ಮಾನಂ ನಮ್ರೀಕರೋತಿ, ಸಏವ ಸ್ವರ್ಗರಾಜಯೇ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠಃ|

5 And he who may receive one such child in My Name, receives Me,

ಯಃ ಕಶ್ಚಿದ್ ಏತಾದೃಶಂ ಕ್ಷುದ್ರಬಾಲಕಮೇಕಂ ಮಮ ನಾಮ್ನಿ ಗೃಹ್ಲಾತಿ, ಸ ಮಾಮೇವ ಗೃಹ್ಲಾತಿ|

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.

ಕಿನ್ತು ಯೋ ಜನೋ ಮಯಿ ಕೃತವಿಶ್ವಾಸಾನಾಮೇತೇಷಾಂ ಕ್ಷುದ್ರಪ್ರಾಣಿನಾಮ್ ಏಕಸ್ಯಾಪಿ ವಿಧ್ನಿಂ ಜನಯತಿ, ಕಣ್ಠಬದ್ಧಪೇಷಣೀಕಸ್ಯ ತಸ್ಯ ಸಾಗರಾಗಾಧಜಲೇ ಮಜ್ಜನಂ ಶ್ರೇಯಃ|

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!

ವಿಘ್ನಾತ್ ಜಗತಃ ಸನ್ತಾಪೋ ಭವಿಷ್ಯತಿ, ವಿಘ್ನೋಽವಶ್ಯಂ ಜನಯಿಷ್ಯತೇ, ಕಿನ್ತು ಯೇನ ಮನುಜೇನ ವಿಘ್ನೋ ಜನಿಷ್ಯತೇ ತಸ್ಯೈವ ಸನ್ತಾಪೋ ಭವಿಷ್ಯತಿ|

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)

ತಸ್ಮಾತ್ ತವ ಕರಶ್ಚರಣೋ ವಾ ಯದಿ ತ್ವಾಂ ಬಾಧತೇ, ತರ್ಹಿ ತಂ ಛಿತ್ತ್ವಾ ನಿಕ್ಷಿಪ, ದ್ವಿಕರಸ್ಯ ದ್ವಿಪದಸ್ಯ ವಾ ತವಾನಪ್ತವಹ್ನೌ ನಿಕ್ಷೇಪಾತ್, ಖಞ್ಜಸ್ಯ ವಾ ಛಿನ್ನಹಸ್ತಸ್ಯ ತವ ಜೀವನೇ ಪ್ರವೇಶೋ ವರಂ| (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)

ಅಪರಂ ತವ ನೇತ್ರಂ ಯದಿ ತ್ವಾಂ ಬಾಧತೇ, ತರ್ಹಿ ತದಪ್ಯುತ್ಪಾವ್ಯ ನಿಕ್ಷಿಪ, ದ್ವಿನೇತ್ರಸ್ಯ ನರಕಾಗ್ನೌ ನಿಕ್ಷೇಪಾತ್ ಕಾಣಸ್ಯ ತವ ಜೀವನೇ ಪ್ರವೇಶೋ ವರಂ| (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,

ತಸ್ಮಾದವಧದ್ಧಂ, ಏತೇಷಾಂ ಕ್ಷುದ್ರಪ್ರಾಣಿನಾಮ್ ಏಕಮಪಿ ಮಾ ತುಚ್ಛೀಕುರುತ,

11 [[for the Son of Man came to save the lost.]]

ಯತೋ ಯುಷ್ಮಾನಹಂ ತಥ್ಯಂ ಬ್ರವೀಮಿ, ಸ್ವರ್ಗೇ ತೇಷಾಂ ದೂತಾ ಮಮ ಸ್ವರ್ಗಸ್ಥಸ್ಯ ಪಿತುರಾಸ್ಯಂ ನಿತ್ಯಂ ಪಶ್ಯನ್ತಿ| ಏವಂ ಯೇ ಯೇ ಹಾರಿತಾಸ್ತಾನ್ ರಕ್ಷಿತುಂ ಮನುಜಪುತ್ರ ಆಗಚ್ಛತ್|

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?

ಯೂಯಮತ್ರ ಕಿಂ ವಿವಿಂಗ್ಘ್ವೇ? ಕಸ್ಯಚಿದ್ ಯದಿ ಶತಂ ಮೇಷಾಃ ಸನ್ತಿ, ತೇಷಾಮೇಕೋ ಹಾರ್ಯ್ಯತೇ ಚ, ತರ್ಹಿ ಸ ಏಕೋನಶತಂ ಮೇಷಾನ್ ವಿಹಾಯ ಪರ್ವ್ವತಂ ಗತ್ವಾ ತಂ ಹಾರಿತಮೇಕಂ ಕಿಂ ನ ಮೃಗಯತೇ?

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;

ಯದಿ ಚ ಕದಾಚಿತ್ ತನ್ಮೇಷೋದ್ದೇಶಂ ಲಮತೇ, ತರ್ಹಿ ಯುಷ್ಮಾನಹಂ ಸತ್ಯಂ ಕಥಯಾಮಿ, ಸೋಽವಿಪಥಗಾಮಿಭ್ಯ ಏಕೋನಶತಮೇಷೇಭ್ಯೋಪಿ ತದೇಕಹೇತೋರಧಿಕಮ್ ಆಹ್ಲಾದತೇ|

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.

ತದ್ವದ್ ಏತೇಷಾಂ ಕ್ಷುದ್ರಪ್ರಾಏನಾಮ್ ಏಕೋಪಿ ನಶ್ಯತೀತಿ ಯುಷ್ಮಾಕಂ ಸ್ವರ್ಗಸ್ಥಪಿತು ರ್ನಾಭಿಮತಮ್|

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;

ಯದ್ಯಪಿ ತವ ಭ್ರಾತಾ ತ್ವಯಿ ಕಿಮಪ್ಯಪರಾಧ್ಯತಿ, ತರ್ಹಿ ಗತ್ವಾ ಯುವಯೋರ್ದ್ವಯೋಃ ಸ್ಥಿತಯೋಸ್ತಸ್ಯಾಪರಾಧಂ ತಂ ಜ್ಞಾಪಯ| ತತ್ರ ಸ ಯದಿ ತವ ವಾಕ್ಯಂ ಶೃಣೋತಿ, ತರ್ಹಿ ತ್ವಂ ಸ್ವಭ್ರಾತರಂ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ತವಾನ್,

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.

ಕಿನ್ತು ಯದಿ ನ ಶೃಣೋತಿ, ತರ್ಹಿ ದ್ವಾಭ್ಯಾಂ ತ್ರಿಭಿ ರ್ವಾ ಸಾಕ್ಷೀಭಿಃ ಸರ್ವ್ವಂ ವಾಕ್ಯಂ ಯಥಾ ನಿಶ್ಚಿತಂ ಜಾಯತೇ, ತದರ್ಥಮ್ ಏಕಂ ದ್ವೌ ವಾ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿಣೌ ಗೃಹೀತ್ವಾ ಯಾಹಿ|

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.

ತೇನ ಸ ಯದಿ ತಯೋ ರ್ವಾಕ್ಯಂ ನ ಮಾನ್ಯತೇ, ತರ್ಹಿ ಸಮಾಜಂ ತಜ್ಜ್ಞಾಪಯ, ಕಿನ್ತು ಯದಿ ಸಮಾಜಸ್ಯಾಪಿ ವಾಕ್ಯಂ ನ ಮಾನ್ಯತೇ, ತರ್ಹಿ ಸ ತವ ಸಮೀಪೇ ದೇವಪೂಜಕಇವ ಚಣ್ಡಾಲಇವ ಚ ಭವಿಷ್ಯತಿ|

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.

ಅಹಂ ಯುಷ್ಮಾನ್ ಸತ್ಯಂ ವದಾಮಿ, ಯುಷ್ಮಾಭಿಃ ಪೃಥಿವ್ಯಾಂ ಯದ್ ಬಧ್ಯತೇ ತತ್ ಸ್ವರ್ಗೇ ಭಂತ್ಸ್ಯತೇ; ಮೇದಿನ್ಯಾಂ ಯತ್ ಭೋಚ್ಯತೇ, ಸ್ವರ್ಗೇಽಪಿ ತತ್ ಮೋಕ್ಷ್ಯತೇ|

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,

ಪುನರಹಂ ಯುಷ್ಮಾನ್ ವದಾಮಿ, ಮೇದಿನ್ಯಾಂ ಯುಷ್ಮಾಕಂ ಯದಿ ದ್ವಾವೇಕವಾಕ್ಯೀಭೂಯ ಕಿಞ್ಚಿತ್ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಯೇತೇ, ತರ್ಹಿ ಮಮ ಸ್ವರ್ಗಸ್ಥಪಿತ್ರಾ ತತ್ ತಯೋಃ ಕೃತೇ ಸಮ್ಪನ್ನಂ ಭವಿಷ್ಯತಿ|

20 for where there are two or three gathered together—to My Name, there am I in the midst of them.”

ಯತೋ ಯತ್ರ ದ್ವೌ ತ್ರಯೋ ವಾ ಮಮ ನಾನ್ನಿ ಮಿಲನ್ತಿ, ತತ್ರೈವಾಹಂ ತೇಷಾಂ ಮಧ್ಯೇಽಸ್ಮಿ|

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?”

ತದಾನೀಂ ಪಿತರಸ್ತತ್ಸಮೀಪಮಾಗತ್ಯ ಕಥಿತವಾನ್ ಹೇ ಪ್ರಭೋ, ಮಮ ಭ್ರಾತಾ ಮಮ ಯದ್ಯಪರಾಧ್ಯತಿ, ತರ್ಹಿ ತಂ ಕತಿಕೃತ್ವಃ ಕ್ಷಮಿಷ್ಯೇ?

22 Jesus says to him, “I do not say to you until seven times, but until seventy times seven.

ಕಿಂ ಸಪ್ತಕೃತ್ವಃ? ಯೀಶುಸ್ತಂ ಜಗಾದ, ತ್ವಾಂ ಕೇವಲಂ ಸಪ್ತಕೃತ್ವೋ ಯಾವತ್ ನ ವದಾಮಿ, ಕಿನ್ತು ಸಪ್ತತ್ಯಾ ಗುಣಿತಂ ಸಪ್ತಕೃತ್ವೋ ಯಾವತ್|

23 Because of this was the kingdom of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who willed to take reckoning with his servants,

ಅಪರಂ ನಿಜದಾಸೈಃ ಸಹ ಜಿಗಣಯಿಷುಃ ಕಶ್ಚಿದ್ ರಾಜೇವ ಸ್ವರ್ಗರಾಜಯಂ|

24 and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents,

ಆರಬ್ಧೇ ತಸ್ಮಿನ್ ಗಣನೇ ಸಾರ್ದ್ಧಸಹಸ್ರಮುದ್ರಾಪೂರಿತಾನಾಂ ದಶಸಹಸ್ರಪುಟಕಾನಾಮ್ ಏಕೋಽಘಮರ್ಣಸ್ತತ್ಸಮಕ್ಷಮಾನಾಯಿ|

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.

ತಸ್ಯ ಪರಿಶೋಧನಾಯ ದ್ರವ್ಯಾಭಾವಾತ್ ಪರಿಶೋಧನಾರ್ಥಂ ಸ ತದೀಯಭಾರ್ಯ್ಯಾಪುತ್ರಾದಿಸರ್ವ್ವಸ್ವಞ್ಚ ವಿಕ್ರೀಯತಾಮಿತಿ ತತ್ಪ್ರಭುರಾದಿದೇಶ|

26 The servant then, having fallen down, was prostrating to him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all;

ತೇನ ಸ ದಾಸಸ್ತಸ್ಯ ಪಾದಯೋಃ ಪತನ್ ಪ್ರಣಮ್ಯ ಕಥಿತವಾನ್, ಹೇ ಪ್ರಭೋ ಭವತಾ ಘೈರ್ಯ್ಯೇ ಕೃತೇ ಮಯಾ ಸರ್ವ್ವಂ ಪರಿಶೋಧಿಷ್ಯತೇ|

27 and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion released him, and the debt he forgave him.

ತದಾನೀಂ ದಾಸಸ್ಯ ಪ್ರಭುಃ ಸಕರುಣಃ ಸನ್ ಸಕಲರ್ಣಂ ಕ್ಷಮಿತ್ವಾ ತಂ ತತ್ಯಾಜ|

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.

ಕಿನ್ತು ತಸ್ಮಿನ್ ದಾಸೇ ಬಹಿ ರ್ಯಾತೇ, ತಸ್ಯ ಶತಂ ಮುದ್ರಾಚತುರ್ಥಾಂಶಾನ್ ಯೋ ಧಾರಯತಿ, ತಂ ಸಹದಾಸಂ ದೃಷ್ದ್ವಾ ತಸ್ಯ ಕಣ್ಠಂ ನಿಷ್ಪೀಡ್ಯ ಗದಿತವಾನ್, ಮಮ ಯತ್ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ಯಂ ತತ್ ಪರಿಶೋಧಯ|

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;

ತದಾ ತಸ್ಯ ಸಹದಾಸಸ್ತತ್ಪಾದಯೋಃ ಪತಿತ್ವಾ ವಿನೀಯ ಬಭಾಷೇ, ತ್ವಯಾ ಧೈರ್ಯ್ಯೇ ಕೃತೇ ಮಯಾ ಸರ್ವ್ವಂ ಪರಿಶೋಧಿಷ್ಯತೇ|

30 and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, until he might pay that which was owing.

ತಥಾಪಿ ಸ ತತ್ ನಾಙಗೀಕೃತ್ಯ ಯಾವತ್ ಸರ್ವ್ವಮೃಣಂ ನ ಪರಿಶೋಧಿತವಾನ್ ತಾವತ್ ತಂ ಕಾರಾಯಾಂ ಸ್ಥಾಪಯಾಮಾಸ|

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;

ತದಾ ತಸ್ಯ ಸಹದಾಸಾಸ್ತಸ್ಯೈತಾದೃಗ್ ಆಚರಣಂ ವಿಲೋಕ್ಯ ಪ್ರಭೋಃ ಸಮೀಪಂ ಗತ್ವಾ ಸರ್ವ್ವಂ ವೃತ್ತಾನ್ತಂ ನಿವೇದಯಾಮಾಸುಃ|

32 then having called him, his lord says to him, Evil servant! All that debt I forgave you, seeing you called on me;

ತದಾ ತಸ್ಯ ಪ್ರಭುಸ್ತಮಾಹೂಯ ಜಗಾದ, ರೇ ದುಷ್ಟ ದಾಸ, ತ್ವಯಾ ಮತ್ಸನ್ನಿಧೌ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿತೇ ಮಯಾ ತವ ಸರ್ವ್ವಮೃಣಂ ತ್ಯಕ್ತಂ;

33 did it not seem necessary to you to have dealt kindly with your fellow servant, as I also dealt kindly with you?

ಯಥಾ ಚಾಹಂ ತ್ವಯಿ ಕರುಣಾಂ ಕೃತವಾನ್, ತಥೈವ ತ್ವತ್ಸಹದಾಸೇ ಕರುಣಾಕರಣಂ ಕಿಂ ತವ ನೋಚಿತಂ?

34 And having been angry, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, until he might pay all that was owing to him;

ಇತಿ ಕಥಯಿತ್ವಾ ತಸ್ಯ ಪ್ರಭುಃ ಕ್ರುದ್ಧ್ಯನ್ ನಿಜಪ್ರಾಪ್ಯಂ ಯಾವತ್ ಸ ನ ಪರಿಶೋಧಿತವಾನ್, ತಾವತ್ ಪ್ರಹಾರಕಾನಾಂ ಕರೇಷು ತಂ ಸಮರ್ಪಿತವಾನ್|

35 so also My heavenly Father will do to you, if you may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.”
