Matej 18
1 Ob istem času so prišli k Jezusu učenci, rekoč: »Kdo je največji v nebeškem kraljestvu?«
In that hour the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
2 In Jezus je k sebi poklical majhnega otroka in ga postavil v sredo mednje
Yeshua called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
3 ter rekel: »Resnično, povem vam: ›Razen, če se ne spreobrnete in ne postanete kakor majhni otroci, ne boste vstopili v nebeško kraljestvo.‹
and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 Kdorkoli bo torej samega sebe ponižal kakor ta majhen otrok, ta je največji v nebeškem kraljestvu.
Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
5 In kdorkoli bo sprejel enega takšnega majhnega otroka v mojem imenu, sprejema mene.
Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
6 Toda kdorkoli bo pohujšal enega od teh malčkov, ki verujejo vame, bi bilo bolje zanj, da bi bil mlinski kamen obešen okoli njegovega vratu in da bi bil potopljen v globino morja.
but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
7 Gorje svetu zaradi prestopkov! Kajti nujno se mora zgoditi, da prestopki pridejo, toda gorje tistemu človeku, po katerem prestopki prihajajo!
“Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
8 Zatorej, če te tvoja roka ali tvoje stopalo pohujšuje, ju odsekaj proč in ju vrzi od sebe. Bolje je zate, da v življenje vstopiš šepav ali pohabljen, raje kakor imeti dve roki ali dve stopali in biti vržen v večni ogenj. (aiōnios g166)
If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 In če te tvoje oko pohujšuje, ga iztakni in ga vrzi od sebe. Bolje je zate, da vstopiš v življenje z enim očesom, raje kakor imeti dve očesi in biti vržen v peklenski ogenj. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehinnom of fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 Pazite, da ne prezirate niti enega od teh malčkov, kajti povem vam: ›Da njihovi angeli v nebesih vedno zrejo obraz mojega Očeta, ki je v nebesih.‹
See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
11 Kajti Sin človekov je prišel rešit to, kar je bilo izgubljeno.
For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
12 Kaj mislite? Če ima človek sto ovac in bi ena od njih zašla ali ne bo pustil devetindevetdesetih in šel v gore in iskal tiste, ki je zašla?
“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
13 In če se zgodi, da jo najde, resnično, povem vam, se bolj veseli te ovce kakor devetindevetdesetih, ki niso zašle.
If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
14 Točno tako ni volja vašega Očeta, ki je v nebesih, da bi propadel eden izmed teh malčkov.
Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Poleg tega, če se bo tvoj brat prekršil zoper tebe, pojdi in mu na samem povej njegovo krivdo med seboj in njim. Če te bo poslušal, si pridobil svojega brata.
“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
16 Toda če te ne bo poslušal, potem vzemi s seboj dodatno še enega ali dva, da je vsaka beseda lahko potrjena po ustih dveh ali treh prič.
But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 Če pa jih bo zanemarjal poslušati, povej to cerkvi. Toda če zanemarja poslušati cerkev, naj ti bo kakor pogan in davkar.
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
18 Resnično, povem vam: ›Karkoli boste zvezali na zemlji, bo zvezano v nebesih, in karkoli boste razvezali na zemlji, bo razvezano v nebesih.‹
Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
19 Ponovno vam pravim: ›Da če se bosta dva izmed vas na zemlji strinjala glede katerekoli stvari, za katero bosta prosila, bo to storjeno zanju od mojega Očeta, ki je v nebesih.‹
Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
20 Kajti kjer sta dva ali trije zbrani skupaj v mojem imenu, tam sem jaz v sredi med njimi.«
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
21 Tedaj je prišel k njemu Peter in rekel: »Gospod, kako pogosto lahko moj brat greši zoper mene in mu jaz odpustim? Do sedemkrat?«
Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
22 Jezus mu reče: »Ne pravim ti: ›Do sedemkrat, ‹ temveč: ›do sedemdesetkrat sedemkrat.‹
Yeshua said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
23 Zato je nebeško kraljestvo podobno nekemu kralju, ki je hotel narediti obračun s svojimi služabniki.
Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24 In ko je začel z obračunom, so k njemu privedli nekoga, ki mu je bil dolžan deset tisoč talentov.
When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 Toda ker ni mogel toliko odplačati, mu je njegov gospodar ukazal, naj bo prodan on in njegova žena in otroci ter vse, kar je imel in se pripravi plačilo.
But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 Služabnik je torej padel dol in ga oboževal, rekoč: ›Gospod, imej potrpljenje z menoj in vse ti bom plačal.‹
The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
27 Potem je bil gospodar tega služabnika prevzet s sočutjem in ga izpustil ter mu odpustil dolg.
The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
28 Toda ta isti služabnik je odšel ven in našel enega izmed svojih soslužabnikov, ki mu je bil dolžan sto denarjev in nanj položil roki ter [ga] prijel za vrat, rekoč: ›Plačaj mi to, kar dolguješ.‹
“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
29 In njegov soslužabnik je padel dol ob njegovih stopalih in ga rotil, rekoč: ›Imej potrpljenje z menoj in vse ti bom plačal.‹
“So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
30 Ta pa ni hotel, temveč je šel in ga vrgel v ječo, dokler ne bi odplačal dolga.
He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
31 Ko so torej njegovi soslužabniki videli, kaj se je zgodilo, so bili zelo žalostni in so prišli ter svojemu gospodarju povedali vse, kar se je zgodilo.
So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
32 Tedaj mu je njegov gospodar, potem ko ga je poklical, rekel: ›Oh ti zlobni služabnik, ker si me prosil, sem ti ves ta dolg odpustil;
Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
33 ali naj ne bi tudi ti prav tako imel sočutje do svojega soslužabnika, prav tako kakor sem jaz imel usmiljenje do tebe?‹
Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
34 In njegov gospodar je bil ogorčen in ga izročil mučiteljem, dokler ne bi odplačal vsega tega, kar mu je bil dolžan.
His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 Prav tako bo moj nebeški Oče storil tudi vam, če iz svojih src ne odpustite vsak svojemu bratu njihove prekrške.«
So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
