Matteuse 18
1 Sel ajal tulid jüngrid Jeesuse juurde ja küsisid: „Kes on siis suurim taevariigis?“
In that hour the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
2 Jeesus kutsus enda juurde ühe lapse, pani nende keskele seisma
He called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,
3 ja ütles: „Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, kui te ei pöördu ega saa selliseks nagu lapsed, ei pääse te taevariiki!
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.
4 Kes nüüd iseennast alandab nagu see laps, see ongi suurim taevariigis.
Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, this one is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Ja kes iganes ühe niisuguse lapse võtab vastu minu nimel, see võtab vastu minu.
Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
6 Kes iganes ahvatleb patule ühe neist väikestest, kes minusse usuvad, sellele oleks parem, et veskikivi talle kaela seotaks ja ta uputataks mere sügavusse.
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.
7 Häda maailmale ahvatluste pärast! On küll paratamatu, et ahvatlused tulevad, kuid häda sellele, kelle kaudu need tulevad.
"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.
8 Aga kui su käsi või jalg sunnib sind pattu tegema, raiu see ära ja viska minema! Sul on parem minna käteta või jalutuna ellu kui kahe käe ja kahe jalaga olla visatud igavesse tulle. (aiōnios g166)
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)
9 Ja kui su silm ahvatleb sind patule, kisu see välja ja viska minema! Sul on parem ühe silmaga minna ellu kui kahe silmaga olla visatud põrgutulle. (Geenna g1067)
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 Gihana. (Geenna g1067)
10 Vaadake, et te ühtki neist pisikestest ei põlgaks! Sest ma ütlen teile, et nende inglid taevas näevad alati minu taevase Isa palet.
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.
11 Sest Inimese Poeg on tulnud päästma kadunut.
12 Mis teie arvate: kui kellelgi on sada lammast ja üks neist ära eksib, eks ta jäta need üheksakümmend üheksa mägedesse ja lähe otsima eksinut?
"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?
13 Ja kui ta selle üles leiab, siis tõesti, ma ütlen teile, ta rõõmustab tema üle rohkem kui nende üheksakümne üheksa üle, kes ei olnud eksinud.
If he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
14 Samuti ei taha teie taevane Isa, et ükski neist pisikestest hukkuks.
Even so it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Kui su vend teeb pattu, siis mine ja noomi teda nelja silma all. Kui ta sind kuulab, siis oled oma venna tagasi võitnud.
"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.
16 Aga kui ta sind ei kuula, siis võta enesega veel üks või kaks inimest, sest iga asi tuleb kinnitada kahe või kolme tunnistaja ütlusega.
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.
17 Aga kui ta ka neid ei kuula, siis räägi kogudusele. Ja kui ta isegi koguduse sõna ei kuula, siis olgu ta sinu jaoks nagu pagan või maksukoguja!
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.
18 Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, mis te iganes kinni seote maa peal, on seotud ka taevas, ja mis te iganes lahti päästate maa peal, on päästetud lahti ka taevas.
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.
19 Tõesti, taas ma ütlen teile, kui maa peal on kaks teie seast ühel meelel mingi asja suhtes, mida nad iganes paluvad, siis minu Isa, kes on taevas, annab selle neile.
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.
20 Sest kus kaks või kolm on minu nimel koos, seal olen mina nende keskel.“
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
21 Siis Peetrus astus tema juurde ja ütles: „Issand, mitu korda ma peaksin oma vennale andestama, kui ta mu vastu patustab? Kas kuni seitse korda?“
Then Kipha came to him and said, "Lord, how often can my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"
22 Jeesus vastas: „Ma ütlen sulle, mitte seitse, vaid seitsekümmend korda seitse.
Yeshua said to him, "I do not tell you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
23 Seepärast on taevariik kuninga sarnane, kes otsustas oma sulastega arved korda seada.
Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
24 Kui ta sellega algust tegi, toodi ta ette üks, kes võlgnes talle kümme tuhat talenti.
When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 Et tal seda maksta ei olnud, käskis isand müüa maha tema, ta naise, lapsed ja kogu ta vara, ning tasuda sellega.
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.
26 Sulane aga langes põlvili ta ette ja anus: „Kannata veel minuga ja ma maksan sulle kõik tagasi!“
The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
27 Isandal hakkas temast hale, ta laskis ta vabaks ja kustutas ta võla.
The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
28 Aga kui see sulane oli välja läinud, leidis ta ühe kaassulase, kes võlgnes talle sada teenarit. Ta haaras temast kinni, hakkas teda kägistama ja ütles: „Maksa ära, mis sa mulle võlgned!“
"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.'
29 Siis see sulane langes tema jalge ette maha ja anus: „Kannata veel minuga ja ma maksan sulle tagasi!“
"So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
30 Tema aga ei olnud nõus, vaid laskis ta heita vanglasse, kuni ta oma võla tasub.
He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
31 Kui teised sulased nägid, mis sündis, olid nad väga nördinud ning rääkisid isandale kõik ära.
So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
32 Siis kutsus isand mehe enese juurde ja ütles talle: „Sina nurjatu! Mina kustutasin kogu sinu võla, sest sa anusid mind.
Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant. I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
33 Eks siis sinagi pidanud halastama oma kaassulase peale, nõnda nagu mina sinu peale halastasin?“
Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
34 Ja ta isand vihastas ning andis ta vangivalvurite kätte piinata, kuni ta tasub kogu oma võla.
His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due.
35 Nõnda teeb ka minu taevane Isa teiega, kui teie kogu südamest ei anna andeks oma vennale.“
So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother his trespasses from your heart."
