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].
İsa konuşmasını bitirdikten sonra Celile'den ayrılıp Yahudiye'nin Şeria Irmağı'nın karşı yakasındaki topraklarına geçti.
2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed [the sick among] them.
Büyük halk toplulukları da O'nun ardından gitti. Hasta olanları orada iyileştirdi.
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].”
İsa'nın yanına gelen bazı Ferisiler, O'nu denemek amacıyla şunu sordular: “Bir adamın, herhangi bir nedenle karısını boşaması Kutsal Yasa'ya uygun mudur?”
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].’
İsa şu karşılığı verdi: “Kutsal Yazılar'ı okumadınız mı? Yaradan başlangıçtan ‘İnsanları erkek ve dişi olarak yarattı’ ve şöyle dedi: ‘Bu nedenle adam annesini babasını bırakıp karısına bağlanacak, ikisi tek beden olacak.’
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].’
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].”
Şöyle ki, onlar artık iki değil, tek bedendir. O halde Tanrı'nın birleştirdiğini, insan ayırmasın.”
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?”
Ferisiler İsa'ya, “Öyleyse” dediler, “Musa neden erkeğin boşanma belgesi verip karısını boşayabileceğini söyledi?”
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].
İsa onlara, “İnatçı olduğunuz için Musa karılarınızı boşamanıza izin verdi” dedi. “Başlangıçta bu böyle değildi.
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.”
Ben size şunu söyleyeyim, karısını fuhuştan başka bir nedenle boşayıp başkasıyla evlenen, zina etmiş olur. Boşanan kadınla evlenen de zina etmiş olur.”
10 We disciples said to him, “If that is true, it is better for men never to marry!”
Öğrenciler İsa'ya, “Eğer erkekle karısı arasındaki ilişki buysa, hiç evlenmemek daha iyi!” dediler.
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].
İsa onlara, “Herkes bu sözü kabul edemez, ancak Tanrı'nın güç verdiği kişiler kabul edebilir” dedi.
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].”
“Çünkü kimisi doğuştan hadımdır, kimisi insanlar tarafından hadım edilir, kimisi de Göklerin Egemenliği uğruna kendini hadım sayar. Bunu kabul edebilen etsin!”
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].
O sırada bazıları küçük çocukları İsa'nın yanına getirdiler; ellerini onların üzerine koyup dua etmesini istediler. Öğrenciler onları azarlayınca İsa, “Bırakın çocukları” dedi. “Bana gelmelerine engel olmayın! Çünkü Göklerin Egemenliği böylelerinindir.”
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].”
15 Jesus then laid his hands on the children [and asked God to bless them]. Then he left there.
Ellerini onların üzerine koyduktan sonra oradan ayrıldı.
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)
Adamın biri İsa'ya gelip, “Öğretmenim, sonsuz yaşama kavuşmak için nasıl bir iyilik yapmalıyım?” diye sordu. (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’].”
İsa, “Bana neden iyilik hakkında soru soruyorsun?” dedi. “İyi olan yalnız biri var. Yaşama kavuşmak istiyorsan, O'nun buyruklarını yerine getir.”
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,
“Hangi buyrukları?” diye sordu adam. İsa şu karşılığı verdi: “‘Adam öldürmeyeceksin, zina etmeyeceksin, çalmayacaksın, yalan yere tanıklık etmeyeceksin, annene babana saygı göstereceksin’ ve ‘Komşunu kendin gibi seveceksin.’”
19 honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as [much as you love] yourself.”
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]?”
Genç adam, “Bunların hepsini yerine getirdim” dedi, “Daha ne eksiğim var?”
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!”
İsa ona, “Eğer eksiksiz olmak istiyorsan, git, varını yoğunu sat, parasını yoksullara ver; böylece göklerde hazinen olur. Sonra gel, beni izle” dedi.
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].
Genç adam bu sözleri işitince üzüntü içinde oradan uzaklaştı. Çünkü çok malı vardı.
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].
İsa öğrencilerine, “Size doğrusunu söyleyeyim” dedi, “Zengin kişi Göklerin Egemenliği'ne zor girecek.
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].”
Yine şunu söyleyeyim ki, devenin iğne deliğinden geçmesi, zenginin Tanrı Egemenliği'ne girmesinden daha kolaydır.”
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]
Bunu işiten öğrenciler büsbütün şaşırdılar, “Öyleyse kim kurtulabilir?” diye sordular.
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]!”
İsa onlara bakarak, “İnsanlar için bu imkânsız, ama Tanrı için her şey mümkündür” dedi.
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]?”
Bunun üzerine Petrus O'na, “Bak” dedi, “Biz her şeyi bırakıp senin ardından geldik, kazancımız ne olacak?”
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.
İsa onlara, “Size doğrusunu söyleyeyim” dedi, “Her şey yenilendiğinde, İnsanoğlu görkemli tahtına oturduğunda, siz, evet ardımdan gelen sizler, on iki tahta oturup İsrail'in on iki oymağını yargılayacaksınız.
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)
Benim adım uğruna evlerini, kardeşlerini, anne ya da babasını, çocuklarını ya da topraklarını bırakan herkes, bunların yüz katını elde edecek ve sonsuz yaşamı miras alacak. (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].”
Ne var ki, birincilerin birçoğu sonuncu, sonuncuların birçoğu da birinci olacak.”
