Matthew 18
1 At that hour his disciples came to Jesus and asked him, "Who is really greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
tadaanii. m "si. syaa yii"so. h samiipamaagatya p. r.s. tavanta. h svargaraajye ka. h "sre. s.tha. h?
2 When he had called a little child to him, Jesus set him among them, and answered.
tato yii"su. h k. sudrameka. m baalaka. m svasamiipamaaniiya te. saa. m madhye nidhaaya jagaada,
3 "In solemn truth I tell you that unless you turn and become like little children, you will not even enter the kingdom of heaven.
yu. smaanaha. m satya. m braviimi, yuuya. m manovinimayena k. sudrabaalavat na santa. h svargaraajya. m prave. s.tu. m na "saknutha|
4 "Whoever therefore will humble himself like this little child, is greatest in the kingdom of heaven;
ya. h ka"scid etasya k. sudrabaalakasya samamaatmaana. m namriikaroti, saeva svargaraajaye "sre. s.tha. h|
5 "and whoever receives one such child for my sake, receives me.
ya. h ka"scid etaad. r"sa. m k. sudrabaalakameka. m mama naamni g. rhlaati, sa maameva g. rhlaati|
6 "But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung about his neck, and he were drowned in the depths of the sea.
kintu yo jano mayi k. rtavi"svaasaanaamete. saa. m k. sudrapraa. ninaam ekasyaapi vidhni. m janayati, ka. n.thabaddhape. sa. niikasya tasya saagaraagaadhajale majjana. m "sreya. h|
7 "Woe unto the world because of such stumbling-blocks! They will surely come, but woe unto each man by whom they come!
vighnaat jagata. h santaapo bhavi. syati, vighno. ava"sya. m janayi. syate, kintu yena manujena vighno jani. syate tasyaiva santaapo bhavi. syati|
8 "If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, than to keep both hands or both feet and be cast into the everlasting burning. (aiōnios g166)
tasmaat tava kara"scara. no vaa yadi tvaa. m baadhate, tarhi ta. m chittvaa nik. sipa, dvikarasya dvipadasya vaa tavaanaptavahnau nik. sepaat, kha njasya vaa chinnahastasya tava jiivane prave"so vara. m| (aiōnios g166)
9 "If your eye keeps causing you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with only one eye, than to keep both eyes and be cast into the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
apara. m tava netra. m yadi tvaa. m baadhate, tarhi tadapyutpaavya nik. sipa, dvinetrasya narakaagnau nik. sepaat kaa. nasya tava jiivane prave"so vara. m| (Geenna g1067)
10 "See to it that you never despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father in heaven.
tasmaadavadhaddha. m, ete. saa. m k. sudrapraa. ninaam ekamapi maa tucchiikuruta,
11 "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
yato yu. smaanaha. m tathya. m braviimi, svarge te. saa. m duutaa mama svargasthasya pituraasya. m nitya. m pa"syanti| eva. m ye ye haaritaastaan rak. situ. m manujaputra aagacchat|
12 "How does it seem to you, when a man has a hundred sheep and loses one of them? Will he not leave the ninety and nine on the hills, to go and search for the one that has strayed?
yuuyamatra ki. m vivi. mgghve? kasyacid yadi "sata. m me. saa. h santi, te. saameko haaryyate ca, tarhi sa ekona"sata. m me. saan vihaaya parvvata. m gatvaa ta. m haaritameka. m ki. m na m. rgayate?
13 "And if he succeeds in finding it, I tell you solemnly that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety and nine that never strayed away.

14 "Just so it is not the will of my Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
tadvad ete. saa. m k. sudrapraaenaam ekopi na"syatiiti yu. smaaka. m svargasthapitu rnaabhimatam|
15 "If your brother sins against you, go and show him, between yourself and him alone. If he listens, you have won your brother.

16 "But if he will not listen to you, take one or two others along, so that by the testimony of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he will not listen to them, tell the church;
kintu yadi na "s. r.noti, tarhi dvaabhyaa. m tribhi rvaa saak. siibhi. h sarvva. m vaakya. m yathaa ni"scita. m jaayate, tadartham eka. m dvau vaa saak. si. nau g. rhiitvaa yaahi|
17 "but if he will not heed the church, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax-gatherer.

18 "I tell you all in solemn truth that whatever you forbid upon earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.

19 "And again I tell you that if two of you on earth symphonize your praying concerning anything for which you have asked, it shall be done for you by my Father in heaven.

20 "For wherever there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I among them."

21 Just then Peter came to him, and asked him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?"
tadaanii. m pitarastatsamiipamaagatya kathitavaan he prabho, mama bhraataa mama yadyaparaadhyati, tarhi ta. m katik. rtva. h k. sami. sye?
22 "I do not tell you ‘till seven times,’"answered Jesus, "but till seventy times seven.

23 "Thus the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves.
apara. m nijadaasai. h saha jiga. nayi. su. h ka"scid raajeva svargaraajaya. m|
24 "But when he began to settle, one of them was brought before him who owed him fifteen million dollars.

25 "And since he was unable to pay, his master ordered him to be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, toward the payment of the debt.
tasya pari"sodhanaaya dravyaabhaavaat pari"sodhanaartha. m sa tadiiyabhaaryyaaputraadisarvvasva nca vikriiyataamiti tatprabhuraadide"sa|
26 "Thereupon his slave threw himself on his knees before him, crying, "‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all!’
tena sa daasastasya paadayo. h patan pra. namya kathitavaan, he prabho bhavataa ghairyye k. rte mayaa sarvva. m pari"sodhi. syate|
27 "So then the master pitied his slave, and let him go, and forgave him his debt.
tadaanii. m daasasya prabhu. h sakaru. na. h san sakalar. na. m k. samitvaa ta. m tatyaaja|
28 "But on his way out, that slave met a fellow slave who owed him fifty dollars. Seizing him by the throat, and nearly choking him, he exclaimed, "‘Pay me what you owe me!’
kintu tasmin daase bahi ryaate, tasya "sata. m mudraacaturthaa. m"saan yo dhaarayati, ta. m sahadaasa. m d. r.sdvaa tasya ka. n.tha. m ni. spii. dya gaditavaan, mama yat praapya. m tat pari"sodhaya|
29 "Then his fellow slave fell at his feet, and besought him, saying, "‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you.’
tadaa tasya sahadaasastatpaadayo. h patitvaa viniiya babhaa. se, tvayaa dhairyye k. rte mayaa sarvva. m pari"sodhi. syate|
30 "But he would not; on the contrary he went and threw him into prison until he should pay the debt.
tathaapi sa tat naa"nagiik. rtya yaavat sarvvam. r.na. m na pari"sodhitavaan taavat ta. m kaaraayaa. m sthaapayaamaasa|
31 "When therefore his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were very angry; and they went and explained to their master all that had happened.
tadaa tasya sahadaasaastasyaitaad. rg aacara. na. m vilokya prabho. h samiipa. m gatvaa sarvva. m v. rttaanta. m nivedayaamaasu. h|
32 "Immediately his master summoned him and said. "‘You wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you implored me.
tadaa tasya prabhustamaahuuya jagaada, re du. s.ta daasa, tvayaa matsannidhau praarthite mayaa tava sarvvam. r.na. m tyakta. m;
33 "‘Ought not you also to have had pity on your fellow slave, just as I had pity on you?’
yathaa caaha. m tvayi karu. naa. m k. rtavaan, tathaiva tvatsahadaase karu. naakara. na. m ki. m tava nocita. m?
34 "Then in hot anger his master handed him over to the torturers, until he should pay him all his debt.
iti kathayitvaa tasya prabhu. h kruddhyan nijapraapya. m yaavat sa na pari"sodhitavaan, taavat prahaarakaanaa. m kare. su ta. m samarpitavaan|
35 "So will my heavenly Father do to you also, unless from your heart each one of you forgive his brother."
