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 words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea 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 there came unto him Pharisees, 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:
And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] from the beginning made them male and female,
5 Propter hoc dimittet homo patrem, et matrem, et adhærebit uxori suæ, et erunt duo in carne una.
and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the twain shall become one flesh?
6 Itaque jam non sunt duo, sed una caro. Quod ergo Deus conjunxit, homo non separet.
So that they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 Dicunt illi: Quid ergo Moyses mandavit dare libellum repudii, et dimittere?
They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, 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, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so.
9 Dico autem vobis, quia quicumque dimiserit uxorem suam, nisi ob fornicationem, et aliam duxerit, mœchatur: et qui dimissam duxerit, mœchatur.
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery.
10 Dicunt ei discipuli ejus: Si ita est causa hominis cum uxore, non expedit nubere.
The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.
11 Qui dixit illis: Non omnes capiunt verbum istud, sed quibus datum est.
But he said unto them, All men cannot receive 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, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, which were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, which made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13 Tunc oblati sunt ei parvuli, ut manus eis imponeret, et oraret. Discipuli autem increpabant eos.
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 Jesus vero ait eis: Sinite parvulos, et nolite eos prohibere ad me venire: talium est enim regnum cælorum.
But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 Et cum imposuisset eis manus, abiit inde.
And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
16 Et ecce unus accedens, ait illi: Magister bone, quid boni faciam ut habeam vitam æternam? (aiōnios g166)
And behold, one came to him and said, Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have 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.
And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter 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? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, 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 unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet?
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 unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that thou hast, 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.
But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions.
23 Jesus autem dixit discipulis suis: Amen dico vobis, quia dives difficile intrabit in regnum cælorum.
And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to 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 say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, 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?
And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, 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 to 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 answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have?
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.
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon 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 that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Multi autem erunt primi novissimi, et novissimi primi.
But many shall be last [that are] first; and first [that are] last.
