مَتھِح 18

1 تَدانِیں شِشْیا یِیشوح سَمِیپَماگَتْیَ پرِشْٹَوَنْتَح سْوَرْگَراجْیے کَح شْریشْٹھَح؟

In that same time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

2 تَتو یِیشُح کْشُدْرَمیکَں بالَکَں سْوَسَمِیپَمانِییَ تیشاں مَدھْیے نِدھایَ جَگادَ،

Jesus called to himself a little child, set him among them,

3 یُشْمانَہَں سَتْیَں بْرَوِیمِ، یُویَں مَنووِنِمَیینَ کْشُدْرَبالَوَتْ نَ سَنْتَح سْوَرْگَراجْیَں پْرَویشْٹُں نَ شَکْنُتھَ۔

and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will in no way enter the kingdom of heaven.

4 یَح کَشْچِدْ ایتَسْیَ کْشُدْرَبالَکَسْیَ سَمَماتْمانَں نَمْرِیکَروتِ، سَایوَ سْوَرْگَراجَیے شْریشْٹھَح۔

Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 یَح کَشْچِدْ ایتادرِشَں کْشُدْرَبالَکَمیکَں مَمَ نامْنِ گرِہْلاتِ، سَ مامیوَ گرِہْلاتِ۔

Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name receives me.

6 کِنْتُ یو جَنو مَیِ کرِتَوِشْواسانامیتیشاں کْشُدْرَپْرانِنامْ ایکَسْیاپِ وِدھْنِں جَنَیَتِ، کَنْٹھَبَدّھَپیشَنِیکَسْیَ تَسْیَ ساگَراگادھَجَلے مَجَّنَں شْرییَح۔

But whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in me to sin, it would be better for him that a great millstone should be hung about his neck, and that he should be sunk into the depths of the sea.

7 وِگھْناتْ جَگَتَح سَنْتاپو بھَوِشْیَتِ، وِگھْنووَشْیَں جَنَیِشْیَتے، کِنْتُ یینَ مَنُجینَ وِگھْنو جَنِشْیَتے تَسْیَیوَ سَنْتاپو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔

Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! For it is necessary that those stumbling blocks come, but woe to the person through whom those stumbling blocks come!

8 تَسْماتْ تَوَ کَرَشْچَرَنو وا یَدِ تْواں بادھَتے، تَرْہِ تَں چھِتّوا نِکْشِپَ، دْوِکَرَسْیَ دْوِپَدَسْیَ وا تَوانَپْتَوَہْنَو نِکْشیپاتْ، کھَنْجَسْیَ وا چھِنَّہَسْتَسْیَ تَوَ جِیوَنے پْرَویشو وَرَں۔ (aiōnios g166)

If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or lame than to be thrown into the eternal fire having two hands or two feet. (aiōnios g166)

9 اَپَرَں تَوَ نیتْرَں یَدِ تْواں بادھَتے، تَرْہِ تَدَپْیُتْپاوْیَ نِکْشِپَ، دْوِنیتْرَسْیَ نَرَکاگْنَو نِکْشیپاتْ کانَسْیَ تَوَ جِیوَنے پْرَویشو وَرَں۔ (Geenna g1067)

If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye than to be thrown into the eternal fire having both eyes. (Geenna g1067)

10 تَسْمادَوَدھَدّھَں، ایتیشاں کْشُدْرَپْرانِنامْ ایکَمَپِ ما تُچّھِیکُرُتَ،

See that you do not despise any of these little ones. For I say to you that in heaven their angels always look on the face of my Father who is in heaven.

11 یَتو یُشْمانَہَں تَتھْیَں بْرَوِیمِ، سْوَرْگے تیشاں دُوتا مَمَ سْوَرْگَسْتھَسْیَ پِتُراسْیَں نِتْیَں پَشْیَنْتِ۔ ایوَں یے یے ہارِتاسْتانْ رَکْشِتُں مَنُجَپُتْرَ آگَچّھَتْ۔

What do you think? If anyone has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and go off seeking the one that went astray?

13 یَدِ چَ کَداچِتْ تَنْمیشودّیشَں لَمَتے، تَرْہِ یُشْمانَہَں سَتْیَں کَتھَیامِ، سووِپَتھَگامِبھْیَ ایکونَشَتَمیشیبھْیوپِ تَدیکَہیتورَدھِکَمْ آہْلادَتے۔

If he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

14 تَدْوَدْ ایتیشاں کْشُدْرَپْرااےنامْ ایکوپِ نَشْیَتِیتِ یُشْماکَں سْوَرْگَسْتھَپِتُ رْنابھِمَتَمْ۔

In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

15 یَدْیَپِ تَوَ بھْراتا تْوَیِ کِمَپْیَپَرادھْیَتِ، تَرْہِ گَتْوا یُوَیورْدْوَیوح سْتھِتَیوسْتَسْیاپَرادھَں تَں جْناپَیَ۔ تَتْرَ سَ یَدِ تَوَ واکْیَں شرِنوتِ، تَرْہِ تْوَں سْوَبھْراتَرَں پْراپْتَوانْ،

If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you will have gained your brother.

16 کِنْتُ یَدِ نَ شرِنوتِ، تَرْہِ دْوابھْیاں تْرِبھِ رْوا ساکْشِیبھِح سَرْوَّں واکْیَں یَتھا نِشْچِتَں جایَتے، تَدَرْتھَمْ ایکَں دْوَو وا ساکْشِنَو گرِہِیتْوا یاہِ۔

But if he does not listen to you, take one or two others along with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word might be verified.

17 تینَ سَ یَدِ تَیو رْواکْیَں نَ مانْیَتے، تَرْہِ سَماجَں تَجّناپَیَ، کِنْتُ یَدِ سَماجَسْیاپِ واکْیَں نَ مانْیَتے،تَرْہِ سَ تَوَ سَمِیپے دیوَپُوجَکَاِوَ چَنْڈالَاِوَ چَ بھَوِشْیَتِ۔

And if he refuses to listen to them, tell the matter to the church. If he also refuses to listen to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

18 اَہَں یُشْمانْ سَتْیَں وَدامِ، یُشْمابھِح پرِتھِوْیاں یَدْ بَدھْیَتے تَتْ سْوَرْگے بھَںتْسْیَتے؛ میدِنْیاں یَتْ بھوچْیَتے، سْوَرْگےپِ تَتْ موکْشْیَتے۔

Truly I say to you, whatever things you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven.

19 پُنَرَہَں یُشْمانْ وَدامِ، میدِنْیاں یُشْماکَں یَدِ دْواویکَواکْیِیبھُویَ کِنْچِتْ پْرارْتھَییتے، تَرْہِ مَمَ سْوَرْگَسْتھَپِتْرا تَتْ تَیوح کرِتے سَمْپَنَّں بھَوِشْیَتِ۔

Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

20 یَتو یَتْرَ دْوَو تْرَیو وا مَمَ نانِّ مِلَنْتِ، تَتْرَیواہَں تیشاں مَدھْیےسْمِ۔

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”

21 تَدانِیں پِتَرَسْتَتْسَمِیپَماگَتْیَ کَتھِتَوانْ ہے پْرَبھو، مَمَ بھْراتا مَمَ یَدْیَپَرادھْیَتِ، تَرْہِ تَں کَتِکرِتْوَح کْشَمِشْیے؟

Then Peter came and said to Jesus, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Until seven times?”

22 کِں سَپْتَکرِتْوَح؟ یِیشُسْتَں جَگادَ، تْواں کیوَلَں سَپْتَکرِتْوو یاوَتْ نَ وَدامِ، کِنْتُ سَپْتَتْیا گُنِتَں سَپْتَکرِتْوو یاوَتْ۔

Jesus said to him, “I do not tell you seven times, but until seventy times seven.

23 اَپَرَں نِجَداسَیح سَہَ جِگَنَیِشُح کَشْچِدْ راجیوَ سْوَرْگَراجَیَں۔

Therefore the kingdom of heaven is similar to a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

24 آرَبْدھے تَسْمِنْ گَنَنے سارْدّھَسَہَسْرَمُدْراپُورِتاناں دَشَسَہَسْرَپُٹَکانامْ ایکوگھَمَرْنَسْتَتْسَمَکْشَمانایِ۔

As he began the settling, one servant was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

25 تَسْیَ پَرِشودھَنایَ دْرَوْیابھاواتْ پَرِشودھَنارْتھَں سَ تَدِییَبھارْیّاپُتْرادِسَرْوَّسْوَنْچَ وِکْرِییَتامِتِ تَتْپْرَبھُرادِدیشَ۔

But since he had not the means to repay, his master commanded him to be sold, together with his wife and children and everything that he had, and payment to be made.

26 تینَ سَ داسَسْتَسْیَ پادَیوح پَتَنْ پْرَنَمْیَ کَتھِتَوانْ ، ہے پْرَبھو بھَوَتا گھَیرْیّے کرِتے مَیا سَرْوَّں پَرِشودھِشْیَتے۔

So the servant fell down, bowed down before him, and said, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.'

27 تَدانِیں داسَسْیَ پْرَبھُح سَکَرُنَح سَنْ سَکَلَرْنَں کْشَمِتْوا تَں تَتْیاجَ۔

So the master of that servant, since he was moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.

28 کِنْتُ تَسْمِنْ داسے بَہِ رْیاتے، تَسْیَ شَتَں مُدْراچَتُرْتھاںشانْ یو دھارَیَتِ، تَں سَہَداسَں درِشْدْوا تَسْیَ کَنْٹھَں نِشْپِیڈْیَ گَدِتَوانْ، مَمَ یَتْ پْراپْیَں تَتْ پَرِشودھَیَ۔

But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii. He grasped him, took him by the throat, and said, 'Pay me what you owe.'

29 تَدا تَسْیَ سَہَداسَسْتَتْپادَیوح پَتِتْوا وِنِییَ بَبھاشے، تْوَیا دھَیرْیّے کرِتے مَیا سَرْوَّں پَرِشودھِشْیَتے۔

But his fellow servant fell down and implored him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you.'

30 تَتھاپِ سَ تَتْ نانَگِیکرِتْیَ یاوَتْ سَرْوَّمرِنَں نَ پَرِشودھِتَوانْ تاوَتْ تَں کارایاں سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔

But the first servant refused. Instead, he went and threw him into prison until he should pay him what he owed.

31 تَدا تَسْیَ سَہَداساسْتَسْیَیتادرِگْ آچَرَنَں وِلوکْیَ پْرَبھوح سَمِیپَں گَتْوا سَرْوَّں ورِتّانْتَں نِویدَیاماسُح۔

When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were very upset. They came and told their master everything that had happened.

32 تَدا تَسْیَ پْرَبھُسْتَماہُویَ جَگادَ، رے دُشْٹَ داسَ، تْوَیا مَتْسَنِّدھَو پْرارْتھِتے مَیا تَوَ سَرْوَّمرِنَں تْیَکْتَں؛

Then that servant's master called him, and said to him, 'You wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt because you implored me.

33 یَتھا چاہَں تْوَیِ کَرُناں کرِتَوانْ، تَتھَیوَ تْوَتْسَہَداسے کَرُناکَرَنَں کِں تَوَ نوچِتَں؟

Should you not have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'

34 اِتِ کَتھَیِتْوا تَسْیَ پْرَبھُح کْرُدّھیَنْ نِجَپْراپْیَں یاوَتْ سَ نَ پَرِشودھِتَوانْ، تاوَتْ پْرَہارَکاناں کَریشُ تَں سَمَرْپِتَوانْ۔

His master was angry and handed him over to the torturers until he would pay all that was owed.

35 یَدِ یُویَں سْوانْتَحکَرَنَیح سْوَسْوَسَہَجانامْ اَپَرادھانْ نَ کْشَمَدھْوے، تَرْہِ مَمَ سْوَرْگَسْیَح پِتاپِ یُشْمانْ پْرَتِیتّھَں کَرِشْیَتِ۔

So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
