Mattheum 19
1 Et factum est, cum consummasset Iesus sermones istos, migravit a Galilaea, et venit in fines Iudaeae trans Iordanem,
When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 et secutae sunt eum turbae multae, et curavit eos ibi.
Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
3 Et accesserunt ad eum Pharisaei tentantes eum, et dicentes: Si licet homini dimittere uxorem suam, quacumque ex causa?
Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 Qui respondens, ait eis: Non legistis, quia qui fecit hominem ab initio, masculum, et feminam fecit eos? et dixit:
Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
5 Propter hoc dimittet homo patrem, et matrem, et adhaerebit uxori suae, et erunt duo in carne una.
and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
6 itaque iam non sunt duo, sed una caro. Quod ergo Deus coniunxit, homo non separet.
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
7 Dicunt illi: Quid ergo Moyses mandavit dare libellum repudii, et dimittere?
“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8 Ait illis: Quoniam Moyses ad duritiam cordis vestri permisit vobis dimittere uxores vestras: ab initio autem non fuit sic.
Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart; but it was not this way from the beginning.
9 Dico autem vobis, quia quicumque dimiserit uxorem suam, nisi ob fornicationem, et aliam duxerit, moechatur: et qui dimissam duxerit, moechatur.
Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman, commits adultery.”
10 Dicunt ei discipuli eius: Si ita est causa hominis cum uxore, non expedit nubere.
His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Qui dixit illis: Non omnes capiunt verbum istud, sed quibus datum est.
“Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been 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 caelorum. Qui potest capere capiat.
For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
13 Tunc oblati sunt ei parvuli, ut manus eis imponeret, et oraret. Discipuli autem increpabant eos.
Then the little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 Iesus vero ait eis: Sinite parvulos, et nolite eos prohibere ad me venire: talium est enim regnum caelorum.
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15 Et cum imposuisset eis manus, abiit inde.
And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.
16 Et ecce unus accedens, ait illi: Magister bone, quid boni faciam ut habeam vitam aeternam? (aiōnios g166)
Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain 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.
“Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18 Dicit illi: Quae? Iesus autem dixit: Non homicidium facies: Non adulterabis: Non facies furtum: Non falsum testimonium dices:
“Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
19 Honora patrem tuum, et matrem tuam, et diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’”
20 Dicit illi adolescens: Omnia haec custodivi, quid adhuc mihi deest?
“All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”
21 Ait illi Iesus: Si vis perfectus esse, vade, vende omnia quae habes, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in caelo: et veni, sequere me.
Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
22 Cum audisset autem adolescens verbum, abiit tristis: erat enim habens multas possessiones.
When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
23 Iesus autem dixit discipulis suis: Amen dico vobis, quia dives difficile intrabit in regnum caelorum.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Et iterum dico vobis: Facilius est camelum per foramen acus transire, quam divitem intrare in regnum caelorum.
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 Auditis autem his, discipuli mirabantur valde, dicentes: Quis ergo poterit salvus esse?
When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Aspiciens autem Iesus, dixit illis: Apud homines hoc impossibile est: apud Deum autem omnia possibilia sunt.
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man 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?
“Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”
28 Iesus autem dixit illis: Amen dico vobis, quod vos, qui secuti estis me, in regeneratione cum sederit filius hominis in sede maiestatis suae, sedebitis et vos super sedes duodecim, iudicantes duodecim tribus Israel.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also 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 aeternam possidebit. (aiōnios g166)
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Multi autem erunt primi novissimi, et novissimi primi.
But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
