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
And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, he removed from Galilee and came into the bounds of Judaea beyond the Jordan.
2 και ηκολουθησαν αυτω οχλοι πολλοι και εθεραπευσεν αυτουσ εκει
And there followed him large multitudes, and he cured them there.
3 και προσηλθον αυτω οι φαρισαιοι πειραζοντεσ αυτον και λεγοντεσ αυτω ει εξεστιν ανθρωπω απολυσαι την γυναικα αυτου κατα πασαν αιτιαν
And there came unto him Pharisees, testing him, and saying, —Whether is it allowed a man to divorce his wife, for every cause?
4 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ ουκ ανεγνωτε οτι ο ποιησασ απ αρχησ αρσεν και θηλυ εποιησεν αυτουσ
And, he, answering, said—Did ye never read—He who created at the beginning, Male and female, made them, —
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 cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and be united 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, the longer, are they, two, but, one flesh, What, therefore, God, hath yoked together, Let not, a man, put asunder.
7 λεγουσιν αυτω τι ουν μωσησ ενετειλατο δουναι βιβλιον αποστασιου και απολυσαι αυτην
They say unto him—Why then did, Moses, command, to give a writing of repudiation and to divorce?
8 λεγει αυτοισ οτι μωσησ προσ την σκληροκαρδιαν υμων επετρεψεν υμιν απολυσαι τασ γυναικασ υμων απ αρχησ δε ου γεγονεν ουτωσ
He saith unto them—Moses, in view of your hardness of heart, permitted you to divorce your wives; From the beginning however, hath it not been done, thus.
9 λεγω δε υμιν οτι οσ αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου μη επι πορνεια και γαμηση αλλην μοιχαται και ο απολελυμενην γαμησασ μοιχαται
And I say unto you—Whosoever shall divorce his wife, saving for unfaithfulness, and shall marry another, committeth adultery.
10 λεγουσιν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου ει ουτωσ εστιν η αιτια του ανθρωπου μετα τησ γυναικοσ ου συμφερει γαμησαι
The disciples say unto him—If, so, is the cause of the husband with the wife, it is not expedient to marry.
11 ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ ου παντεσ χωρουσιν τον λογον τουτον αλλ οισ δεδοται
But, he, said unto them—Not all, find room for he word, save they to whom it hath been 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, from their mother’s womb, were born so, and there, are, eunuchs, who were made eunuchs, by men, —and there, are, eunuchs, who have made, themselves, eunuchs, for the sake the kingdom of the heavens: He that is able to find room, let him find room.
13 τοτε προσηνεχθη αυτω παιδια ινα τασ χειρασ επιθη αυτοισ και προσευξηται οι δε μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοισ
Then, were brought unto him children, —that he might lay his hands upon 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—Suffer the children—and do not hinder them—to come unto me, —for, of such, is the kingdom of the heavens.
15 και επιθεισ αυτοισ τασ χειρασ επορευθη εκειθεν
And, laying his hands upon them, he went his way from thence.
16 και ιδου εισ προσελθων ειπεν αυτω διδασκαλε αγαθε τι αγαθον ποιησω ινα εχω ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
And lo! one coming near unto him, said, Teacher! what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-abiding? (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
And, he, said unto him—Why dost thou question me concerning that which is good? There is, One, that is good! But, if thou desirest, into life, to enter, be keeping the commandments.
18 λεγει αυτω ποιασ ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν το ου φονευσεισ ου μοιχευσεισ ου κλεψεισ ου ψευδομαρτυρησεισ
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus, said—These: Thou shalt not commit murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, —Thou shalt not bear false witness;
19 τιμα τον πατερα και την μητερα και αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον
Honour thy father and thy mother, —and—Thou shalt love thy neighbour as, thyself.
20 λεγει αυτω ο νεανισκοσ παντα ταυτα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητοσ μου τι ετι υστερω
The young man saith unto him—These all, have I kept, —What, further, do I 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 unto him—If thou desirest to be perfect, Withdraw! sell thy substance, and give to the destitute, —and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens; and come! be following me.
22 ακουσασ δε ο νεανισκοσ τον λογον απηλθεν λυπουμενοσ ην γαρ εχων κτηματα πολλα
And the young man, hearing, this word, went away sorrowing, —for he was holding large possessions.
23 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου αμην λεγω υμιν οτι δυσκολωσ πλουσιοσ εισελευσεται εισ την βασιλειαν των ουρανων
And, Jesus, said unto his disciples—Verily, I say unto you, A rich man, with difficulty, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
24 παλιν δε λεγω υμιν ευκοπωτερον εστιν καμηλον δια τρυπηματοσ ραφιδοσ διελθειν η πλουσιον εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
Again I say unto you—Easier, is it for, a camel, through the eye of a needle, to enter, than a rich man—into the kingdom of God.
25 ακουσαντεσ δε οι μαθηται αυτου εξεπλησσοντο σφοδρα λεγοντεσ τισ αρα δυναται σωθηναι
And, hearing it, the disciples were being struck with the greatest astonishment, saying—Who then can be saved?
26 εμβλεψασ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ παρα ανθρωποισ τουτο αδυνατον εστιν παρα δε θεω παντα δυνατα
And, looking intently, Jesus said unto them—With men, 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, making answer, Peter said unto him—Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee, —What then shall there be, for us?
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
And, Jesus, said unto them—Verily, I say unto you, As for you who followed me in the regeneration, When the Son of Man shall take his seat on his throne of glory, ye also, shall be seated upon 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)
And, whosoever left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for sake of my name, manifold, shall receive, and life, age-abiding, shall inherit. (aiōnios g166)
30 πολλοι δε εσονται πρωτοι εσχατοι και εσχατοι πρωτοι
But many shall be—first-last, and last-first.
