Κατα Ματθαιον 19
1 και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο ιησουσ τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ μετηρεν απο τησ γαλιλαιασ και ηλθεν εισ τα ορια τησ ιουδαιασ περαν του ιορδανου
It happened when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 και ηκολουθησαν αυτω οχλοι πολλοι και εθεραπευσεν αυτουσ εκει
Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 και προσηλθον αυτω οι φαρισαιοι πειραζοντεσ αυτον και λεγοντεσ αυτω ει εξεστιν ανθρωπω απολυσαι την γυναικα αυτου κατα πασαν αιτιαν
And Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying to him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce a wife for any reason?"
4 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ ουκ ανεγνωτε οτι ο ποιησασ απ αρχησ αρσεν και θηλυ εποιησεν αυτουσ
He answered, and said, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,
5 και ειπεν ενεκεν τουτου καταλειψει ανθρωποσ τον πατερα και την μητερα και προσκολληθησεται τη γυναικι αυτου και εσονται οι δυο εισ σαρκα μιαν
and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?'
6 ωστε ουκετι εισιν δυο αλλα σαρξ μια ο ουν ο θεοσ συνεζευξεν ανθρωποσ μη χωριζετω
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no one separate."
7 λεγουσιν αυτω τι ουν μωσησ ενετειλατο δουναι βιβλιον αποστασιου και απολυσαι αυτην
They asked him, "Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce, and divorce her?"
8 λεγει αυτοισ οτι μωσησ προσ την σκληροκαρδιαν υμων επετρεψεν υμιν απολυσαι τασ γυναικασ υμων απ αρχησ δε ου γεγονεν ουτωσ
He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
9 λεγω δε υμιν οτι οσ αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου μη επι πορνεια και γαμηση αλλην μοιχαται και ο απολελυμενην γαμησασ μοιχαται
I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery. And he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery."
10 λεγουσιν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου ει ουτωσ εστιν η αιτια του ανθρωπου μετα τησ γυναικοσ ου συμφερει γαμησαι
The disciples said to him, "If this is the case of a husband with a wife, it is not expedient to marry."
11 ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ ου παντεσ χωρουσιν τον λογον τουτον αλλ οισ δεδοται
But he said to them, "Not everyone can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
12 εισιν γαρ ευνουχοι οιτινεσ εκ κοιλιασ μητροσ εγεννηθησαν ουτωσ και εισιν ευνουχοι οιτινεσ ευνουχισθησαν υπο των ανθρωπων και εισιν ευνουχοι οιτινεσ ευνουχισαν εαυτουσ δια την βασιλειαν των ουρανων ο δυναμενοσ χωρειν χωρειτω
For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it."
13 τοτε προσηνεχθη αυτω παιδια ινα τασ χειρασ επιθη αυτοισ και προσευξηται οι δε μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοισ
Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
14 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αφετε τα παιδια και μη κωλυετε αυτα ελθειν προσ με των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
But Jesus said, "Allow the little children, and do not forbid them to come to me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to ones like these."
15 και επιθεισ αυτοισ τασ χειρασ επορευθη εκειθεν
He placed his hands on them, and departed from there.
16 και ιδου εισ προσελθων ειπεν αυτω διδασκαλε αγαθε τι αγαθον ποιησω ινα εχω ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
And look, someone came to him and said, "Teacher, what good thing must I do, that I may have everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
17 ο δε ειπεν αυτω τι με λεγεισ αγαθον ουδεισ αγαθοσ ει μη εισ ο θεοσ ει δε θελεισ εισελθειν εισ την ζωην τηρησον τασ εντολασ
He said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? No one is good but one. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
18 λεγει αυτω ποιασ ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν το ου φονευσεισ ου μοιχευσεισ ου κλεψεισ ου ψευδομαρτυρησεισ
He said to him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "'Do not murder.' 'Do not commit adultery.' 'Do not steal.' 'Do not offer false testimony.'
19 τιμα τον πατερα και την μητερα και αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον
'Honor your father and mother.' And, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
20 λεγει αυτω ο νεανισκοσ παντα ταυτα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητοσ μου τι ετι υστερω
The young man said to him, "All these things I have kept. What do I still lack?"
21 εφη αυτω ο ιησουσ ει θελεισ τελειοσ ειναι υπαγε πωλησον σου τα υπαρχοντα και δοσ πτωχοισ και εξεισ θησαυρον εν ουρανω και δευρο ακολουθει μοι
Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
22 ακουσασ δε ο νεανισκοσ τον λογον απηλθεν λυπουμενοσ ην γαρ εχων κτηματα πολλα
But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
23 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου αμην λεγω υμιν οτι δυσκολωσ πλουσιοσ εισελευσεται εισ την βασιλειαν των ουρανων
Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is difficult for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 παλιν δε λεγω υμιν ευκοπωτερον εστιν καμηλον δια τρυπηματοσ ραφιδοσ διελθειν η πλουσιον εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God."
25 ακουσαντεσ δε οι μαθηται αυτου εξεπλησσοντο σφοδρα λεγοντεσ τισ αρα δυναται σωθηναι
When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"
26 εμβλεψασ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ παρα ανθρωποισ τουτο αδυνατον εστιν παρα δε θεω παντα δυνατα
Looking at them, Jesus said, "With humans this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
27 τοτε αποκριθεισ ο πετροσ ειπεν αυτω ιδου ημεισ αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι τι αρα εσται ημιν
Then Peter answered, "Look, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?"
28 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ αμην λεγω υμιν οτι υμεισ οι ακολουθησαντεσ μοι εν τη παλιγγενεσια οταν καθιση ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου επι θρονου δοξησ αυτου καθισεσθε και υμεισ επι δωδεκα θρονουσ κρινοντεσ τασ δωδεκα φυλασ του ισραηλ
Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 και πασ οσ αφηκεν οικιασ η αδελφουσ η αδελφασ η πατερα η μητερα η γυναικα η τεκνα η αγρουσ ενεκεν του ονοματοσ μου εκατονταπλασιονα ληψεται και ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησει (aiōnios g166)
Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
30 πολλοι δε εσονται πρωτοι εσχατοι και εσχατοι πρωτοι
But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.
