¹At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

¹V tú istú hodinu pristúpili učeníci k Ježišovi a povedali: Kto je tedy väčší v nebeskom kráľovstve?

²And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

²A Ježiš privolajúc si dieťa postavil ho do prostredku medzi nich

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.

³a povedal: Ameň vám hovorím, keď sa neobrátite a nebudete jako deti, nevojdete nikdy do nebeského kráľovstva.

⁴Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

⁴Ktokoľvek sa tedy poníži jako toto dieťa, to je ten väčší v nebeskom kráľovstve.

⁵And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

⁵A ktokoľvek by prijal jedno takéto dieťa v mojom mene, mňa prijíma,

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.

⁶a ktokoľvek by pohoršil jedného z týchto maličkých, veriacich vo mňa, tomu by bolo užitočnejšie, aby bol zavesený oslí žernov na jeho šiju, a aby bol ponorený do hlbiny mora.

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!

⁷Beda svetu pre pohoršenia. Lebo pohoršenia musia prijsť, ale beda človekovi, skrze ktorého prichádza pohoršenie.

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.

⁸A jestli ťa pohoršuje tvoja ruka alebo tvoja noha, odtni ju a zahoď od seba. Lepšie ti je, aby si vošiel do života chromý alebo okyptený, než aby si mal dve ruky a dve nohy a bol uvrhnutý do večného ohňa.

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.

⁹A jestli ťa pohoršuje tvoje oko, vylúp ho a zahoď od seba. Lepšie ti je, aby si vošiel do života jednooký, než aby si mal dve oči a bol uvrhnutý do ohnivého pekla.

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.

¹⁰Hľaďte, aby ste neopovrhli niktorým z týchto maličkých! Lebo vám hovorím, že ich anjelia v nebesiach ustavične hľadia na tvár môjho Otca, ktorý je v nebesiach.

¹¹For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

¹¹Lebo Syn človeka prišiel, aby spasil to, čo bolo zahynulo.

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?

¹²Čo sa vám zdá, keby mal niektorý človek sto oviec, a keby jedna z nich zablúdila, či nezanechá tých deväťdesiatdeväť na vrchoch a nejde a nehľadá tej zablúdilej?

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.

¹³A keď sa stane, že ju najde, ameň vám hovorím, že sa jej viacej raduje ako tým deväťdesiatim deviatim nepoblúdilým.

¹⁴Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

¹⁴Zrovna tak, nie je vôľa vašeho Otca, ktorý je v nebesiach, aby zahynulo čo len jedno z týchto maličkých.

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.

¹⁵A keby zhrešil proti tebe tvoj brat, idi potresci ho medzi sebou a ním samým. Keď ťa počúvne, získal si svojho brata.

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.

¹⁶A keby nepočúvnul, pojmi so sebou ešte jedného alebo dvoch, aby na ústach dvoch svedkov alebo troch bolo postavené každé slovo.

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.

¹⁷A keby ich nepočúvnul, povedz to cirkvi; a keby nepočúvnul ani cirkvi, nech ti je ako pohan a publikán.

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.

¹⁸Ameň vám hovorím: Všetko, čo by ste sviazali na zemi, bude sviazané aj na nebi; a všetko, čo by ste rozviazali na zemi, bude rozviazané aj na nebi.

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.

¹⁹A zase vám hovorím, že keď sa dvaja z vás shodnú na zemi o jakejkoľvek veci, za ktorú by prosili, stane sa im od môjho Otca, ktorý je v nebesiach.

²⁰For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

²⁰Lebo kde sú dvaja alebo traja shromaždení v mojom mene, tam som i ja v ich strede.

²¹Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

²¹Vtedy pristúpil k nemu Peter a povedal: Pane, koľko ráz zhreší proti mne môj brat, a odpustím mu? Či do sedem ráz?

²²Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

²²Ježiš mu rečie: Nehovorím ti, že do sedem ráz, ale až do sedemdesiatsedem ráz.

²³Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

²³Preto je podobné nebeské kráľovstvo človeku kráľovi, ktorý sa chcel porátať so svojimi sluhami.

²⁴And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

²⁴A keď začal rátať, privedený mu bol jeden dlžník, ktorý mu bol dlžen desať tisíc hrivien.

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.

²⁵Ale, že nemal ako zaplatiť, rozkázal ho jeho pán predať i jeho ženu i deti i všetko, čo mal, a zaplatiť.

²⁶The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

²⁶Tedy padnul pred ním sluha, klaňal sa mu a hovoril: Pane, pozhovej mi, a všetko ti zaplatím.

²⁷Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

²⁷A pán toho sluhu, milosrdenstvom hnutý, prepustil ho a dlžobu mu odpustil.

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.

²⁸Ale ten istý sluha vyjdúc našiel jedného zo svojich spolusluhov, ktorý mu bol dlžen sto denárov, a pochytil ho a hrdúsil hovoriac: Zaplať mi, čo si dlžen!

²⁹And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

²⁹Tedy padnul jeho spolusluha k jeho nohám, prosil ho a hovoril: Pozhovej mi a všetko ti zaplatím.

³⁰And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

³⁰Ale on nechcel, lež odišiel a hodil ho do žalára, dokiaľ by nezaplatil toho, čo bol dlžen.

³¹So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

³¹A keď videli jeho spolusluhovia, čo sa stalo, zarmútili sa veľmi a prišli a porozprávali svojmu pánovi všetko, čo sa stalo.

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:

³²Vtedy si ho zavolal jeho pán a povedal mu: Zlý sluha, všetok ten dlh som ti odpustil, pretože si ma prosil;

³³Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

³³či si sa teda i ty nemal zmilovať nad svojím spolusluhom, ako som sa i ja zmiloval nad tebou?

³⁴And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

³⁴A jeho pán, rozhnevaný, vydal ho mučiteľom, dokiaľ by nezaplatil všetkého, čo mu bol dlžen.

³⁵So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

³⁵Tak i môj nebeský Otec učiní vám, keď neodpustíte jeden každý svojmu bratovi zo srdca ich previnení.
