Matthew 19
1 After Jesus had said that, he [took us] and left Galilee [district] and went to the part of Judea [district that is located] on the [east] side of the Jordan [River].
Kui Jeesus lõpetas kõnelemise, lahkus ta Galileast, ning läks Jordani jõe taha Juuda aladele.
2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed [the sick among] them.
Suured rahvahulgad järgisid teda ja ta tegi terveks need, kes rahva seast haiged olid.
3 [Some] Pharisees approached Jesus and said to him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit [a man] to divorce his wife for any reason whatever?” [They asked that] in order to be able to criticize Jesus, [whether he answered “Yes” or “No].”
Mõned variserid tulid teda proovile panema. „Kas mehel on lubatud oma naisest mingil põhjusel lahutada?“küsisid nad.
4 Jesus said [to them], “[Because] you have read [RHQ] [the Scriptures], [you should know] that at the time [God first] created [people], ‘he made [one] man, and he made [one] woman [to be that man’s wife].’
Jeesus vastas: „Kas te ei ole lugenud, et Jumal, kes lõi alguses inimesed, tegi nad meheks ja naiseks?
5 That explains why [God said], ‘[When] a man [and woman marry], they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers. [Instead], the two of them shall live together, and they shall become [so closely united that they are like] one person [MET].’
Ta ütles: „Sel põhjusel jätab mees maha oma isa ja ema ning ühineb oma naisega ja nemad kaks saavad üheks.“
6 Consequently, [although they functioned as] two [separate people before], they now [become as if they were] one person [MET]. Since that is true, a man must not separate [from his wife] whom God has joined to him, [because it is God’s plan for them to remain together].”
Nüüd ei ole nad enam kaks, vaid üks. Keegi ei tohi eraldada seda, mille Jumal on liitnud.“
7 The Pharisees then said to him, “If that is true, why did Moses command that [a man who wanted to divorce] his wife should give her a paper [stating his reason for] divorcing her, and then send her away?”
„Miks siis Mooses andis seaduse, et mees võib oma naisest lahutada, kui annab talle lahutustunnistuse, ja ta minema saata?“küsisid nad.
8 He said to them, “It was because [your ancestors] stubbornly [wanted their own way] that Moses allowed them to divorce their wives, [and you are no different from them]. But when God first [MTY] created a man and a woman, [he did not intend for them to separate].
„Teie kalgi südame pärast lubas Mooses teil oma naisest lahutada, aga alguses ei olnud see nii, “vastas Jeesus.
9 I am telling you emphatically that [because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, unless [his first wife] has committed adultery.”
„Ma ütlen teile, igaüks, kes lahutab oma naisest muidu kui seksuaalse ebamoraalsuse tõttu ja abiellub siis teise naisega, rikub abielu.“
10 We disciples said to him, “If that is true, it is better for men never to marry!”
„Kui olukord mehe ja naise vahel on selline, siis on parem mitte abielluda!“ütlesid ta jüngrid talle.
11 Then he said to us, “Not every man is able to accept this teaching. Only the men whom [God] enables [to accept it are able to do so].
„Kõik ei suuda seda õpetust vastu võtta, vaid ainult need, kellele see on antud, “lausus Jeesus neile.
12 There are men who [do not marry because they are not able to have sexual relations because they] have been sexually defective ever since they were born. There are other men [who do not marry because they are unable to have sexual relations] because they have been castrated {other men have made them that way}. There are other [men who decide not to marry] [MET] in order that they can serve God better [and spend more time telling people about how] God [MTY/EUP] wants to rule people’s lives. You who are able to understand [what I have said about marriage] should accept it [and obey it].”
„Mõni on sündinud eunuhh, mõne on eunuhhiks teinud inimesed ning mõni otsustab olla eunuhh taevariigi pärast. Need, kes suudavad selle vastu võtta, peaks seda tegema.“
13 Then [some] children were brought {[some people] brought their children} to Jesus in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray [for them]. But we disciples scolded the people [for bringing their children to Jesus because we thought that Jesus did not want to take the time to be with children].
Inimesed tõid väikesed lapsed tema juurde, et ta neid õnnistaks ja nende eest palvetaks. Kuid jüngrid keelasid neid.
14 But [when Jesus saw us scolding them], he said to us, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are, who can experience God’s rule [in their lives].”
Aga Jeesus ütles: „Laske lastel minu juurde tulla. Ärge takistage neid. Taevariik kuulub neile, kes on nendesarnased!“
15 Jesus then laid his hands on the children [and asked God to bless them]. Then he left there.
Ta pani oma käed nende peale ja õnnistas neid ning siis ta lahkus.
16 [As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
Üks mees tuli Jeesuse juurde ja küsis temalt: „Õpetaja, mida head ma pean tegema, et igavest elu saada?“ (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesus said to him, “(Consider [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about what is good./Do you realize [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about that which is good?) [RHQ] Only one being is good and [really knows what is good. That being is God. But in order to answer your question] about [desiring to] live [with God eternally], I [will say to you], ‘Keep the commandments [that God gave Moses’].”
„Miks sa küsid minult, mis on hea?“vastas Jeesus. „On ainult üks, kes on hea. Aga kui tahad igavest elu saada, siis pea käske.“
18 The man asked Jesus, “Which [commandments must I keep]?” Jesus answered [him], “Do not murder [anyone], do not commit adultery, do not steal things, do not testify falsely,
„Missuguseid?“küsis mees temalt. „Ära tapa, ära riku abielu, ära varasta, ära anna valetunnistust,
19 honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as [much as you love] yourself.”
austa oma isa ja ema ning armasta oma kaasinimest nagu iseennast, “vastas Jeesus.
20 [Thinking that he might not be able to live with God eternally even though he had kept those commandments], the young man said to Jesus, “I have always obeyed all those commandments. What else must I do [in order to live with God eternally]?”
„Olen kõiki neid käske pidanud, “lausus noormees. „Mida ma veel pean tegema?“
21 Jesus said to him, “If you desire to be all that God intends you to be, go [home], sell everything that you have and give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Jeesus kostis talle: „Kui sa tahad täiuslik olla, siis mine ja müü oma vara ära, anna raha vaestele ja sul on aare taevas. Siis tule ja järgi mind.“
22 When the young man heard those words, he went away feeling sad, because he was very rich [and did not want to give away everything he owned].
Kui noormees kuulis Jeesuse vastust, läks ta väga kurvalt ära, sest tal oli palju vara.
23 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “Keep this in mind: It is very difficult for rich people [to decide] to let God [MTY/EUP] rule their [lives].
„Ma räägin teile tõtt, “ütles Jeesus oma jüngritele, „rikastel inimestel on raske taevariiki siseneda.
24 Note this also: It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Ma ütlen teile ka seda: lihtsam on kaamelil läbi nõelsilma minna, kui rikkal inimesel Jumala riiki siseneda.“
25 When [we] disciples heard this, we were astounded. [We thought that rich people were the ones whom God blesses the most. So we said to him], “(If that is so, it does not seem likely that anyone will be saved!/Who then will God will save?)” [RHQ]
Kui jüngrid seda kuulsid, olid nad väga üllatunud ja küsisid: „Kes võib siis päästetud saada?“
26 [When Jesus heard us say that], he looked intently at us, and [then] he said to us, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God is able to do [anything]!”
Jeesus vaatas neid ja ütles: „Inimlikust vaatenurgast on see võimatu, aga Jumalaga koos on kõik võimalik.“
27 Then Peter said to him, “You know that we [(exc)] have left everything behind and we have become your disciples. So what benefit will we get [for doing that]?”
Peetrus vastas talle: „Vaata, me oleme jätnud kõik maha ja sind järginud. Mis tasu me saame?“
28 Jesus said to us, “Keep this in mind: [You will get many benefits]. When [God] makes [the] new [earth] and when [I], the one who came from heaven, sit on my magnificent throne, those of you who have accompanied me will each sit on a throne, and you will judge [the people of] the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jeesus vastas: „Ma ütlen teile tõtt: kui kõik on uueks loodud ja inimese Poeg istub oma hiilgaval troonil, siis teie, kes te olete mind järginud, istute ka kaheteistkümnel troonil ning mõistate kohut Iisraeli kaheteistkümne suguharu üle.
29 [God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Kõik need, kes on minu pärast jätnud maha oma kodu, vennad, õed, isa, ema, lapsed ja põllud, saavad sada korda rohkem tagasi ja igavese elu. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many [people who consider themselves to] be important [now] will be unimportant [at that future time], and many [people who consider themselves to be] unimportant [now will be] important [at that future time].”
Sest paljud, kes on esimesed, jäävad viimasteks, ja paljud, kes on viimased, saavad esimesteks.
