1At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
1[] Εν εκεινη τη ωρα ηλθον οι μαθηται προς τον Ιησουν, λεγοντες· Τις αρα ειναι μεγαλητερος εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων;
2And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
2Και προσκαλεσας ο Ιησους παιδιον, εστησεν αυτο εν τω μεσω αυτων
3And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
3και ειπεν· Αληθως σας λεγω, εαν δεν επιστρεψητε και γεινητε ως τα παιδια, δεν θελετε εισελθει εις την βασιλειαν των ουρανων.
4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
4Οστις λοιπον ταπεινωση εαυτον ως το παιδιον τουτο, ουτος ειναι ο μεγαλητερος εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων.
5And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
5Και οστις δεχθη εν τοιουτον παιδιον εις το ονομα μου, εμε δεχεται·
6But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
6οστις ομως σκανδαλιση ενα των μικρων τουτων των πιστευοντων εις εμε, συμφερει εις αυτον να κρεμασθη μυλου πετρα επι τον τραχηλον αυτου και να καταποντισθη εις το πελαγος της θαλασσης.
7Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
7[] Ουαι εις τον κοσμον δια τα σκανδαλα· διοτι ειναι αναγκη να ελθωσι τα σκανδαλα· πλην ουαι εις τον ανθρωπον εκεινον, δια του οποιου το σκανδαλον ερχεται.
8Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
8Και εαν η χειρ σου η ο πους σου σε σκανδαλιζη, εκκοψον αυτο και ριψον απο σου· καλητερον σοι ειναι να εισελθης εις την ζωην χωλος η κουλλος, παρα εχων δυο χειρας η δυο ποδας να ριφθης εις το πυρ το αιωνιον.
9And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
9Και εαν ο οφθαλμος σου σε σκανδαλιζη, εκβαλε αυτον και ριψον απο σου· καλητερον σοι ειναι μονοφθαλμος να εισελθης εις την ζωην, παρα εχων δυο οφθαλμους να ριφθης εις την γεενναν του πυρος.
10Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
10Προσεχετε μη καταφρονησητε ενα των μικρων τουτων· διοτι σας λεγω οτι οι αγγελοι αυτων εν τοις ουρανοις διαπαντος βλεπουσι το προσωπον του Πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις.
11For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
11Επειδη ο Υιος του ανθρωπου ηλθε δια να σωση το απολωλος.
12How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
12Τι σας φαινεται; εαν ανθρωπος τις εχη εκατον προβατα και πλανηθη εν εξ αυτων, δεν αφινει τα ενενηκοντα εννεα και υπαγων επι τα ορη, ζητει το πλανωμενον;
13And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
13Και εαν συμβη να ευρη αυτο, αληθως σας λεγω οτι χαιρει δι' αυτο μαλλον παρα δια τα ενενηκοντα εννεα τα μη πεπλανημενα.
14Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
14Ουτω δεν ειναι θελημα εμπροσθεν του Πατρος σας του εν ουρανοις να απολεσθη εις των μικρων τουτων.
15Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
15[] Εαν δε αμαρτηση εις σε ο αδελφος σου, υπαγε και ελεγξον αυτον μεταξυ σου και αυτου μονου· εαν σου ακουση, εκερδησας τον αδελφον σου·
16But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
16εαν ομως δεν ακουση, παραλαβε μετα σου ετι ενα η δυο, δια να βεβαιωθη πας λογος επι στοματος δυο μαρτυρων η τριων.
17And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
17Και εαν παρακουση αυτων, ειπε τουτο προς την εκκλησιαν· αλλ' εαν και της εκκλησιας παρακουση, ας ειναι εις σε ως ο εθνικος και ο τελωνης.
18Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
18Αληθως σας λεγω, Οσα εαν δεσητε επι της γης, θελουσιν εισθαι δεδεμενα εν τω ουρανω, και οσα εαν λυσητε επι της γης, θελουσιν εισθαι λελυμενα εν τω ουρανω.
19Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
19Παλιν σας λεγω οτι εαν δυο απο σας συμφωνησωσιν επι της γης περι παντος πραγματος, περι του οποιου ηθελον καμει αιτησιν, θελει γεινει εις αυτους παρα του Πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις.
20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
20Διοτι οπου ειναι δυο η τρεις συνηγμενοι εις το ονομα μου, εκει ειμαι εγω εν τω μεσω αυτων.
21Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
21[] Τοτε προσελθων προς αυτον ο Πετρος, ειπε· Κυριε, ποσακις αν αμαρτηση εις εμε ο αδελφος μου και θελω συγχωρησει αυτον; εως επτακις;
22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
22Λεγει προς αυτον ο Ιησους· Δεν σοι λεγω εως επτακις, αλλ' εως εβδομηκοντακις επτα.
23Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
23Δια τουτο η βασιλεια των ουρανων ωμοιωθη με ανθρωπον βασιλεα, οστις ηθελησε να θεωρηση λογαριασμον μετα των δουλων αυτου.
24And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
24Και οτε ηρχισε να θεωρη, εφερθη προς αυτον εις οφειλετης μυριων ταλαντων.
25But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
25Και επειδη δεν ειχε να αποδωση, προσεταξεν ο κυριος αυτου να πωληθη αυτος και η γυνη αυτου και τα τεκνα και παντα οσα ειχε, και να αποδοθη το οφειλομενον.
26The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
26Πεσων λοιπον ο δουλος προσεκυνει αυτον, λεγων· Κυριε, μακροθυμησον εις εμε, και παντα θελω σοι αποδωσει.
27Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
27Σπλαγχνισθεις δε ο κυριος του δουλου εκεινου, απελυσεν αυτον και το δανειον αφηκεν εις αυτον.
28But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
28Αφου ομως εξηλθεν ο δουλος εκεινος, ευρεν ενα των συνδουλων αυτου, οστις εχρεωστει εις αυτον εκατον δηναρια, και πιασας αυτον επνιγε, λεγων· Αποδος μοι ο, τι χρεωστεις.
29And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
29Πεσων λοιπον ο συνδουλος αυτου εις τους ποδας αυτου, παρεκαλει αυτον λεγων· Μακροθυμησον εις εμε, και παντα θελω σοι αποδωσει.
30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
30Εκεινος ομως δεν ηθελεν, αλλ' απελθων εβαλεν αυτον εις φυλακην, εωσου αποδωση το οφειλομενον.
31So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
31Ιδοντες δε οι συνδουλοι αυτου τα γενομενα, ελυπηθησαν σφοδρα και ελθοντες εφανερωσαν προς τον κυριον αυτων παντα τα γενομενα.
32Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
32Τοτε προσκαλεσας αυτον ο κυριος αυτου, λεγει προς αυτον· Δουλε πονηρε, παν το χρεος εκεινο σοι αφηκα, επειδη με παρεκαλεσας·
33Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
33δεν επρεπε και συ να ελεησης τον συνδουλον σου, καθως και εγω σε ηλεησα;
34And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
34Και οργισθεις ο κυριος αυτου παρεδωκεν αυτον εις τους βασανιστας, εωσου αποδωση παν το οφειλομενον εις αυτον.
35So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
35Ουτω και ο Πατηρ μου ο επουρανιος θελει καμει εις εσας, εαν δεν συγχωρησητε εκ καρδιας σας εκαστος εις τον αδελφον αυτου τα πταισματα αυτων.
