Mattheum 19
1 et factum est cum consummasset Iesus sermones istos migravit a Galilaea et venit in fines Iudaeae trans Iordanen
It came about after Jesus had finished these teachings, that he removed from Galilee, and went to that part of Judea which lay across the Jordan.
2 et secutae sunt eum turbae multae et curavit eos ibi
A great multitude followed him, and he healed them there.
3 et accesserunt ad eum Pharisaei temptantes eum et dicentes si licet homini dimittere uxorem suam quacumque ex causa
Presently some of the Pharisees came up to him, and made test of him by asking, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?"
4 qui respondens ait eis non legistis quia qui fecit ab initio masculum et feminam fecit eos
"Have you not read." he answered, "that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said,
5 et dixit propter hoc dimittet homo patrem et matrem et adherebit uxori suae et erunt duo in carne una
"For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall be one flesh?
6 itaque iam non sunt duo sed una caro quod ergo Deus coniunxit homo non separet
"Thus they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
7 dicunt illi quid ergo Moses mandavit dari libellum repudii et dimittere
They answered, "Why then did Moses command the husband to give her’a written bill of divorce,’ and so to put her away?"
8 ait illis quoniam Moses ad duritiam cordis vestri permisit vobis dimittere uxores vestras ab initio autem non sic fuit
"Moses," said Jesus, "permitted you to divorce your wives on account of the hardness of your hearts, but from the beginning it was not so.
9 dico autem vobis quia quicumque dimiserit uxorem suam nisi ob fornicationem et aliam duxerit moechatur et qui dimissam duxerit moechatur
"And I tell you that any man who divorces his wife for any cause except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."
10 dicunt ei discipuli eius si ita est causa homini cum uxore non expedit nubere
"If that is the position of a man in relation to his wife," answered the disciples, "it is better not to marry."
11 qui dixit non omnes capiunt verbum istud sed quibus datum est
He answered them. "Not all are accepting this teaching, but only those to whom it has been granted.
12 sunt enim eunuchi qui de matris utero sic nati sunt et sunt eunuchi qui facti sunt ab hominibus et sunt eunuchi qui se ipsos castraverunt propter regnum caelorum qui potest capere capiat
"For there are eunuchs who have been such from birth; others who have been made such by men; and others who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of God. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."
13 tunc oblati sunt ei parvuli ut manus eis inponeret et oraret discipuli autem increpabant eis
Then young children were brought to him, that he might lay his hands on them and pray. His disciples interfered, but Jesus said to them.
14 Iesus vero ait eis sinite parvulos et nolite eos prohibere ad me venire talium est enim regnum caelorum
"Let the little children come to me, and forbid them not; for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of heaven belongs."
15 et cum inposuisset eis manus abiit inde
So he laid his hands upon them, and departed from that place.
16 et ecce unus accedens ait illi magister bone quid boni faciam ut habeam vitam aeternam (aiōnios g166)
But look! a certain man came up to him and asked, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do to inherit 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?" asked Jesus. "There is but One who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
18 dicit illi quae Iesus autem dixit non homicidium facies non adulterabis non facies furtum non falsum testimonium dices
"Which commandments?" asked the man. Jesus replied. "Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness;
19 honora patrem et matrem et diliges proximum tuum sicut te ipsum
"Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
20 dicit illi adulescens omnia haec custodivi quid adhuc mihi deest
The young man answered. "I have carefully kept them all. What yet do I lack?"
21 ait illi Iesus si vis perfectus esse vade vende quae habes et da pauperibus et habebis thesaurum in caelo et veni sequere me
"If you want to be perfect," said Jesus, "go, sell your property, give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
22 cum audisset autem adulescens verbum abiit tristis erat enim habens multas possessiones
But when the young man heard this teaching, he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had much property.
23 Iesus autem dixit discipulis suis amen dico vobis quia dives difficile intrabit in regnum caelorum
So Jesus said to his disciples. "In solemn truth I tell you that a rich man will find it difficult to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 et iterum dico vobis facilius est camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum caelorum
"I tell you again, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
25 auditis autem his discipuli mirabantur valde dicentes quis ergo poterit salvus esse
When they heard this the disciples were utterly astounded. "Who then can be saved?" they exclaimed. Jesus looked at them.
26 aspiciens autem Iesus dixit illis apud homines hoc inpossibile est apud Deum autem omnia possibilia sunt
"With men this is impossible," he said, "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
Whereupon Peter said to Jesus. "Look, Master, we have forsaken everything and followed you. Now what shall be our reward?"
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 Israhel
"In solemn truth I tell you," Jesus answered, "that in the New Creation, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you also who have followed me shall sit on twelve thrones, to govern the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 et omnis qui reliquit 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 every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake, shall many times as much, and fall heir to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 multi autem erunt primi novissimi et novissimi primi
"But many who are first shall be last, and many who are last shall be first.
