Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
V tem času pristopijo učenci k Jezusu, govoreč: Kdo je torej v nebeškem kraljestvu največi?
2 He called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,
In Jezus pokliče otroka in ga postavi sred njih,
3 and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven.
In reče: Resnično vam pravim, če se ne spreobrnete in ne postanete kakor otroci, ne boste prišli v nebeško kraljestvo.
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Kdor se torej poniža kakor ta otrok, ta bo v nebeškem kraljestvu največi.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
In kdorkoli sprejme enega takošnega otroka v ime moje, sprejema mene.
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.
Kdor pa pohujša enega teh malih, ki verujejo v mé, bilo bi mu bolje, da bi mu se obesil mlinsk kamen na vrat, in bi se utopil v morskej globočini.
7 "Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks. For there will always be something to cause people to stumble, but woe to the person through whom the stumbling block comes.
Gorjé svetu za voljo pohujšanja! Pohujšanje sicer mora priti; ali gorjé tistemu človeku, po kterem pohujšanje pride.
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, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
Če te pa roka tvoja ali noga tvoja pohujšuje, odseci ji, in vrzi od sebe; bolje ti je hromemu ali brez roke priti v življenje, nego dve roki in dve nogi imeti, in vrženemu biti v večni ogenj. (aiōnios g166)
9 If your eye causes you to stumble, 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 the fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
In če te pohujšuje oko tvoje, izderi ga, in vrzi od sebe; bolje ti je z enim očesom priti v življenje, nego dve očesi imeti, in vrženemu biti v peklenski ogenj. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Glejte, da ne boste prezirali enega teh malih; kajti resnično vam pravim, da gledajo njih angelji na nebesih vsakedaj obličje očeta mojega, ki je na nebesih.
Kajti sin človečji je prišel, da zveliča, kar se je izgubilo.
12 "What do you think? If someone has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
Kaj se vam zdí? Če ima en človek sto ovâc, in ena od njih zajde: ne popustí li devet in devetdeseterih, pa gre na gore, in išče tiste, ki je zašla?
13 If he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
In če se zgodi, da jo najde, resnično vam pravim, da se nad njo bolj veselí, nego nad devet in devetdeseterimi, ktere niso zašle.
14 Even so it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Tako ni volja očeta vašega, ki je na nebesih, da bi poginil eden od teh malih.
15 "If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
Če se pa pregreší brat tvoj zoper tebe, pojdi, in ograjaj ga med seboj in njim samim; če te posluša, pridobil si brata svojega.
16 But if he does not listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Če pa ne posluša, vzemi seboj še enega ali dva, da ostane vsaka beseda v ustih dveh ali treh prič.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If he refuses to hear the church also, let him be to you as an unbeliever or a tax collector.
Če jih pa ne posluša, povej cerkvi; če pa tudi cerkve ne posluša, naj ti bo ko pogan in mitar.
18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
Resnično vam pravim: Karkoli zvežete na zemlji, zvezano bo na nebesih; in karkoli razvežete na zemlji, razvezano bo na nebesih.
19 Again, truly I tell you, that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
Zopet vam pravim, da če se dva od vas zedinita na zemlji o čemerkoli, kar prosita, zgodilo jima se bo od očeta mojega, ki je na nebesih.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
Kajti, kjer sta dva ali trije zbrani v ime moje, tam sem jaz sredi njih.
21 Then Peter came to him and said, "Lord, how often can my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"
Tedaj pristopi k njemu Peter in reče: Gospod! kolikokrat se bo pregrešil brat moj zoper mene in mu bom odpustil? do sedemkrat?
22 Jesus said to him, "I do not tell you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Jezus mu reče: Ne pravim ti, do sedemkrat, nego do sedemdesetkrat sedemkrat.
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
Za to je nebeško kraljestvo podobno človeku kralju, kteri je hotel s hlapci svojimi račun napraviti.
24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
In ko je jel računiti, pripeljejo mu enega, kteri je bil dolžen tisoč talentov.
25 But because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Ker pa ni imel, da bi plačal, ukaže gospodar njegov prodati njega, in ženo njegovo in otroke, in vse, kar je imel, in naj mu se plača.
26 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
Hlapec pa pade, ter mu se je poklanjal, govoreč: Gospod! potrpi me, in vse ti bom plačal.
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
Gospodarju se pa ta hlapec zasmili: in prizanese mu, in dolg mu odpustí.
28 "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay what you owe.'
Ko pa ta hlapec izide, najde enega svojih tovarišev, kteri mu je bil sto grošev dolžen; in zgrabivši ga, davil ga je, govoreč: Plačaj mi, kar si dolžen!
29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
Tovariš njegov pa pade k nogam njegovim, ter ga je prosil, govoreč: Potrpi me, in vse ti bom plačal.
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
On pa ni hotel; nego odide in ga vrže v ječo, dokler ne plača dolga.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
Videvši pa tovariši njegovi, kar se je zgodilo, užali jim se zeló; ter pridejo in povedó gospodarju svojemu vse, kar se je zgodilo.
32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant. I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
Tedaj ga gospodar njegov pokliče in mu reče: Hudobni hlapec! odpustil sem ti ves tisti dolg, ker si me prosil.
33 Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
Ali se nisi imel tudi ti tovariša svojega usmiliti, kakor sem se tudi jaz tebe usmilil?
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due.
In gospodar njegov se ujezí in ga izročí trinogom, dokler ne poplača vsega, kar mu je bil dolžen.
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother his trespasses from your heart."
Tako bo storil tudi oče moj nebeški vam, če ne odpustite vsak bratu svojemu iz srca svojega njih pregreh.
