Matthew 18
1 In that same time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
V tem času pristopijo učenci k Jezusu, govoreč: Kdo je torej v nebeškem kraljestvu največi?
2 Jesus called to himself a little child, set him among them,
In Jezus pokliče otroka in ga postavi sred njih,
3 and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will in no way enter 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 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Kdor se torej poniža kakor ta otrok, ta bo v nebeškem kraljestvu največi.
5 Whoever welcomes a little child like this 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 believes in me to sin, it would be better for him that a great millstone should be hung about his neck, and that he should be sunk into 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 it is necessary that those stumbling blocks come, but woe to the person through whom those stumbling blocks come!
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 throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or lame than to be thrown into the eternal fire having two hands or two feet. (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 throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye than to be thrown into the eternal fire having both eyes. (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 any of these little ones. For I say to you that in heaven their angels always look on 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 anyone has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and go off seeking the one that went 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 say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not go 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 In the same way, it is not the will of your Father 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 and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you will have gained 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 to you, take one or two others along with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word might be verified.
Če pa ne posluša, vzemi seboj še enega ali dva, da ostane vsaka beseda v ustih dveh ali treh prič.
17 And if he refuses to listen to them, tell the matter to the church. If he also refuses to listen to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and 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 say to you, whatever things you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven.
Resnično vam pravim: Karkoli zvežete na zemlji, zvezano bo na nebesih; in karkoli razvežete na zemlji, razvezano bo na nebesih.
19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they 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 their midst.”
Kajti, kjer sta dva ali trije zbrani v ime moje, tam sem jaz sredi njih.
21 Then Peter came and said to Jesus, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Until 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 seven times, but until seventy times seven.
Jezus mu reče: Ne pravim ti, do sedemkrat, nego do sedemdesetkrat sedemkrat.
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is similar to a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Za to je nebeško kraljestvo podobno človeku kralju, kteri je hotel s hlapci svojimi račun napraviti.
24 As he began the settling, one servant 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 since he had not the means to repay, his master commanded him to be sold, together with his wife and children and everything 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 So the servant fell down, bowed down before him, and said, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.'
Hlapec pa pade, ter mu se je poklanjal, govoreč: Gospod! potrpi me, in vse ti bom plačal.
27 So the master of that servant, since he was 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. He grasped him, took him by the throat, and said, 'Pay me 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 But his fellow servant fell down and implored him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you.'
Tovariš njegov pa pade k nogam njegovim, ter ga je prosil, govoreč: Potrpi me, in vse ti bom plačal.
30 But the first servant refused. Instead, he went and threw him into prison until he should pay him what he owed.
On pa ni hotel; nego odide in ga vrže v ječo, dokler ne plača dolga.
31 When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were very upset. They came and told their master everything that had happened.
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 that servant's master called him, and said to him, 'You wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt because you implored 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 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 master was angry and handed him over to the torturers until he would pay all that was owed.
In gospodar njegov se ujezí in ga izročí trinogom, dokler ne poplača vsega, kar mu je bil dolžen.
35 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
Tako bo storil tudi oče moj nebeški vam, če ne odpustite vsak bratu svojemu iz srca svojega njih pregreh.
