Mattheum 19
1 Et factum est, cum consummasset Jesus sermones istos, migravit a Galilæa, et venit in fines Judææ trans Jordanem,
AND it came to pass when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea beyond Jordan.
2 et secutæ sunt eum turbæ multæ, et curavit eos ibi.
And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3 Et accesserunt ad eum pharisæi tentantes eum, et dicentes: Si licet homini dimittere uxorem suam, quacumque ex causa?
And the Pharisees came to him, tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Qui respondens, ait eis: Non legistis, quia qui fecit hominem ab initio, masculum et feminam fecit eos? Et dixit:
But he replying, said unto them, Have ye not read, that he who created them from the beginning, created them male and female?
5 Propter hoc dimittet homo patrem, et matrem, et adhærebit uxori suæ, et erunt duo in carne una.
And he said, for this reason shall a man forsake father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
6 Itaque jam non sunt duo, sed una caro. Quod ergo Deus conjunxit, homo non separet.
Wherefore they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath yoked together, let no man separate.
7 Dicunt illi: Quid ergo Moyses mandavit dare libellum repudii, et dimittere?
They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give her a bill of divorce, and to put her away?
8 Ait illis: Quoniam Moyses ad duritiam cordis vestri permisit vobis dimittere uxores vestras: ab initio autem non fuit sic.
He saith unto them, It was on account of the hardness of your hearts that Moses gave you permission to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not thus.
9 Dico autem vobis, quia quicumque dimiserit uxorem suam, nisi ob fornicationem, et aliam duxerit, mœchatur: et qui dimissam duxerit, mœchatur.
And I tell you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except for whoredom, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth the divorced woman, committeth adultery.
10 Dicunt ei discipuli ejus: Si ita est causa hominis cum uxore, non expedit nubere.
His disciples said unto him, If the case of a man with his wife be thus, it is not expedient to marry.
11 Qui dixit illis: Non omnes capiunt verbum istud, sed quibus datum est.
Then he said to them, All men are not capable of receiving this saying, but they to whom it is given.
12 Sunt enim eunuchi, qui de matris utero sic nati sunt: et sunt eunuchi, qui facti sunt ab hominibus: et sunt eunuchi, qui seipsos castraverunt propter regnum cælorum. Qui potest capere capiat.
For there are eunuchs, who were so from their mothers’ womb; and there are eunuchs, who have been made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that is capable of receiving, let him receive it.
13 Tunc oblati sunt ei parvuli, ut manus eis imponeret, et oraret. Discipuli autem increpabant eos.
Then were brought to him little children, that he should lay his hands upon them, and pray for them: but the disciples rebuked them.
14 Jesus vero ait eis: Sinite parvulos, et nolite eos prohibere ad me venire: talium est enim regnum cælorum.
Then said Jesus, Permit little children, and hinder them not from coming to me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 Et cum imposuisset eis manus, abiit inde.
And when he had laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.
16 Et ecce unus accedens, ait illi: Magister bone, quid boni faciam ut habeam vitam æternam? (aiōnios g166)
And lo! a person coming to him, said, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, in order to attain eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
17 Qui dixit ei: Quid me interrogas de bono? Unus est bonus, Deus. Si autem vis ad vitam ingredi, serva mandata.
Then he said to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, even God: but if thou art desirous of entering into life, keep the commandments.
18 Dicit illi: Quæ? Jesus autem dixit: Non homicidium facies; non adulterabis; non facies furtum; non falsum testimonium dices;
He saith unto him, Which? Then said Jesus, these, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 honora patrem tuum, et matrem tuam, et diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 Dicit illi adolescens: Omnia hæc custodivi a juventute mea: quid adhuc mihi deest?
The young man saith to him, All these things have I observed from my youth: in what am I still deficient?
21 Ait illi Jesus: Si vis perfectus esse, vade, vende quæ habes, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in cælo: et veni, sequere me.
Jesus said to him, If thou art desirous to be perfect, go, sell all thy substance, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
22 Cum audisset autem adolescens verbum, abiit tristis: erat enim habens multas possessiones.
Now when the young man heard this speech, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Jesus autem dixit discipulis suis: Amen dico vobis, quia dives difficile intrabit in regnum cælorum.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That very difficultly shall a rich man enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 Et iterum dico vobis: Facilius est camelum per foramen acus transire, quam divitem intrare in regnum cælorum.
And again I repeat it to you, It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Auditis autem his, discipuli mirabantur valde, dicentes: Quis ergo poterit salvus esse?
But when his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 Aspiciens autem Jesus, dixit illis: Apud homines hoc impossibile est: apud Deum autem omnia possibilia sunt.
And Jesus looking upon them, said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Tunc respondens Petrus, dixit ei: Ecce nos reliquimus omnia, et secuti sumus te: quid ergo erit nobis?
Then Peter addressing him, said unto him, Lo! we have left all and followed thee; what, I pray thee, shall we receive?
28 Jesus autem dixit illis: Amen dico vobis, quod vos, qui secuti estis me, in regeneratione cum sederit Filius hominis in sede majestatis suæ, sedebitis et vos super sedes duodecim, judicantes duodecim tribus Israël.
Then said Jesus unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Et omnis qui reliquerit domum, vel fratres, aut sorores, aut patrem, aut matrem, aut uxorem, aut filios, aut agros propter nomen meum, centuplum accipiet, et vitam æternam possidebit. (aiōnios g166)
And every one who hath left family, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name sake, shall receive an hundred fold, and shall inherit life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
30 Multi autem erunt primi novissimi, et novissimi primi.
But many, now first, will be the last; and last, who will be the first.
