¹At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread upon one another, he began to say unto his disciples, first, `Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;

¹Sel ajal, kui rahvast oli kokku tulnud tuhandete kaupa, nii et üksteist tallati, hakkas Jeesus rääkima esmalt oma jüngritele: 'Hoidke end variseride haputaigna, see tähendab silmakirjalikkuse eest!

²and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known;

²Ei ole midagi varjatut, mis ei tuleks ilmsiks, ega peidetut, mida ei saadaks teada.

³because whatever in the darkness ye said, in the light shall be heard: and what to the ear ye spake in the inner-chambers, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.

³Seepärast kõik, mida te ütlete pimedas, saab kuuldavaks valges, ja mida te üksteisele kõrva sosistate kambrites, seda kuulutatakse katustelt.

⁴`And I say to you, my friends, be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything over to do;

⁴Teile aga, oma sõpradele, ma ütlen: Ärge kartke neid, kes ihu tapavad ja pärast seda ei saa midagi rohkemat teha!

⁵but I will show to you, whom ye may fear; Fear him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast to the gehenna; yes, I say to you, Fear ye Him.

⁵Ma näitan teile, keda teil tuleb karta: kartke teda, kellel on meelevald pärast tapmist heita põrgusse! Jah, ma ütlen teile, teda kartke!

⁶`Are not five sparrows sold for two assars? and one of them is not forgotten before God,

⁶Eks müüda viis varblast kahe veeringu eest? Ja ükski neist ei ole unustatud Jumala ees.

⁷but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered; therefore fear ye not, than many sparrows ye are of more value.

⁷Isegi teie juuksekarvad on kõik ära loetud. Ärge kartke, te olete enam väärt kui hulk varblasi!

⁸`And I say to you, Every one — whoever may confess with me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him before the messengers of God,

⁸Aga ma ütlen teile, igaüht, kes mind tunnistab inimeste ees, teda tunnistab ka Inimese Poeg Jumala inglite ees,

⁹and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God,

⁹aga see, kes minu ära salgab inimeste ees, salatakse ära Jumala inglite ees.

¹⁰and every one whoever shall say a word to the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven to him, but to him who to the Holy Spirit did speak evil, it shall not be forgiven.

¹⁰Igaüks, kes ütleb midagi Inimese Poja kohta, võib saada andeks, aga kes teotab Püha Vaimu, sellele ei anta andeks.

¹¹`And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye may reply, or what ye may say,

¹¹Aga kui teid viiakse sünagoogidesse ja ülemate ja võimumeeste ette, ärge siis muretsege, kuidas või mida enese eest kosta või mida öelda,

¹²for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what it behoveth [you] to say.`

¹²sest selsamal tunnil õpetab Püha Vaim teile, mida te peate ütlema.'

¹³And a certain one said to him, out of the multitude, `Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.`

¹³Aga keegi rahva seast ütles Jeesusele: 'Õpetaja, ütle mu vennale, et ta jagaks päranduse minuga!'

¹⁴And he said to him, `Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?`

¹⁴Jeesus ütles talle: 'Inimene, kes mind on seadnud teie üle kohtumõistjaks või jagajaks?'

¹⁵And he said unto them, `Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one`s goods is his life.`

¹⁵Ja ta ütles neile: 'Vaadake ette ja hoiduge igasuguse ahnuse eest, sest külluseski ei olene kellegi elu sellest, mis tal on!'

¹⁶And he spake a simile unto them, saying, `Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;

¹⁶Ja Jeesus rääkis neile ka tähendamissõna: 'Ühe rikka mehe põllumaa oli hästi vilja kandnud.

¹⁷and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?

¹⁷Ja ta arutas endamisi: 'Mis ma pean tegema? Mul ei ole kohta, kuhu oma vilja koguda.'

¹⁸and he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and greater ones I will build, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,

¹⁸Ja ta ütles: 'Seda ma teen: ma lõhun maha oma aidad ja ehitan suuremad ning kogun sinna kõik oma vilja ja muu vara

¹⁹and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.

¹⁹ning ütlen oma hingele: Hing, sul on tagavaraks palju vara mitmeks aastaks, puhka, söö, joo ja ole rõõmus!'

²⁰`And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare — to whom shall they be?

²⁰Aga Jumal ütles talle: 'Sina arutu! Selsamal ööl nõutakse sinult su hing. Aga kellele jääb siis see, mis sa oled soetanud?'

²¹so [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.`

²¹Nõnda on lugu sellega, kes kogub tagavara iseenese jaoks, kuid ei ole rikas Jumalas.'

²²And he said unto his disciples, `Because of this, to you I say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for the body, what ye may put on;

²²Aga Jeesus ütles jüngritele: 'Seepärast ma ütlen teile, ärge muretsege elu pärast, mida süüa, ega ihu pärast, millega rõivastuda,

²³the life is more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing.

²³sest elu on enam kui toidus ja ihu enam kui rõivas.

²⁴`Consider the ravens, that they sow not, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God doth nourish them; how much better are ye than the fowls?

²⁴Vaadake kaarnaid - nad ei külva ega lõika, neil ei ole varakambrit ega aita, ning Jumal toidab neid. Kui palju enamat väärt olete teie lindudest!

²⁵and who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?

²⁵Aga kes teie seast suudab muretsemisega oma elueale küünra lisada?

²⁶If, then, ye are not able for the least — why for the rest are ye anxious?

²⁶Kui te nüüd kõige vähematki ei suuda, mis te siis muu pärast muretsete?

²⁷`Consider the lilies, how do they grow? they labour not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these;

²⁷Vaadake lilli, kuidas nad ei ketra ega koo, aga ma ütlen teile, isegi Saalomon kogu oma hiilguses ei olnud nõnda ehitud kui igaüks neist.

²⁸and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much more you — ye of little faith?

²⁸Kui aga Jumal nõnda rüütab väljal rohtu, mis täna on ja homme visatakse ahju, kui palju enam teid, te nõdrausulised!

²⁹`And ye — seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, and be not in suspense,

²⁹Ja teiegi ärge küsige, mida süüa või mida juua, ja ärge olge kärsitud,

³⁰for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father hath known that ye have need of these things;

³⁰sest kõike seda taotlevad maailma rahvad. Teie Isa ju teab, et te seda vajate.

³¹but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

³¹Pigem otsige tema kuningriiki, siis antakse kõik see teile pealegi!

³²`Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;

³²Ära karda, sa pisike karjake, sest teie Isal on hea meel anda teile kuningriik!

³³sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that become not old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief doth not come near, nor moth destroy;

³³Müüge ära, mis teil on, ja andke see almusteks! Tehke enesele kulumatud kukrud ja muretsege enesele kahanematu aare taevas, kuhu varas ei saa ligi ja kus koi pole rikkumas,

³⁴for where your treasure is, there also your heart will be.

³⁴sest kus on teie aare, seal on ka teie süda.

³⁵`Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,

³⁵Teie niuded olgu vöötatud ja lambid põlegu

³⁶and ye like to men waiting for their lord, when he shall return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.

³⁶ja teie olge inimeste sarnased, kes ootavad oma isandat pulmapeolt koju, et kui ta tulles koputab, võiksid nad kohe talle ukse avada.

³⁷`Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near, will minister to them;

³⁷Õndsad on need sulased, keda isand tulles leiab valvamas. Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, ta vöötab oma riided ja paneb nad lauda istuma ning tuleb ja teenib neid.

³⁸and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, happy are those servants.

³⁸Ja kui ta tuleks ka teisel või kolmandal öövalvekorral ja leiaks nad nõnda - õndsad on need!

³⁹`And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through;

³⁹Küllap te mõistate, et kui peremees teaks, mil tunnil varas tuleb, siis ta ei laseks oma kotta sisse murda.

⁴⁰and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.`

⁴⁰Ka teie olge valmis, sest Inimese Poeg tuleb tunnil, mil te ei arvagi!'

⁴¹And Peter said to him, `Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?`

⁴¹Aga Peetrus küsis: 'Issand, kas sa räägid selle tähendamissõna meile või kõikidele?'

⁴²And the Lord said, `Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord shall set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?

⁴²Ja Issand ütles: 'Kes küll on ustav ja arukas majapidaja, kelle isand seab oma pererahva üle neile parajal ajal andma määratud moona?

⁴³Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;

⁴³Õnnis on see teener, kelle ta isand tulles leiab nõnda tegevat.

⁴⁴truly I say to you, that over all his goods he will set him.

⁴⁴Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, ta seab tema kogu oma vara üle.

⁴⁵`And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord doth delay to come, and may begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken;

⁴⁵Aga kui see teener mõtleb oma südames: 'Mu isand viibib tulles', ning hakkab peksma sulaseid ja tüdrukuid, sööma ja jooma ning purjutama,

⁴⁶the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for [him], and in an hour that he doth not know, and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint.

⁴⁶siis selle teenri isand tuleb päeval, mil ta ei oota, ja tunnil, mida ta ei tea, ning raiub ta pooleks ja annab talle sama osa nendega, keda ei saa usaldada.

⁴⁷`And that servant, who having known his lord`s will, and not having prepared, nor having gone according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes,

⁴⁷Too teener, kes küll teadis oma isanda tahtmist, ent ei valmistanud ega teinud tema tahtmise järgi, saab palju peksa,

⁴⁸and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.

⁴⁸kes aga ei teadnud, kuid tegi, mis on hoope väärt, saab peksa vähem. Igaühelt, kellele on antud palju, nõutakse palju, ja kelle hoolde on jäetud palju, sellelt küsitakse veel rohkem.

⁴⁹`Fire I came to cast to the earth, and what will I if already it was kindled?

⁴⁹Tuld olen ma tulnud viskama maa peale, ja mida muud ma tahaksin, kui et see oleks juba süttinud!

⁵⁰but I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I pressed till it may be completed!

⁵⁰Aga mul on ees ristimine, millega mind ristitakse, ja kuidas mul on kitsas käes, kuni see on viidud lõpule!

⁵¹`Think ye that peace I came to give in the earth? no, I say to you, but rather division;

⁵¹Kas te arvate, et ma olen tulnud rahu andma maa peale? Ma ütlen teile, ei sugugi, vaid hoopis lahkmeelt.

⁵²for there shall be henceforth five in one house divided — three against two, and two against three;

⁵²Sest nüüdsest peale on viis ühes kojas lahkmeeles, kolm kahe vastu ja kaks kolme vastu,

⁵³a father shall be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.`

⁵³isa poja vastu ja poeg isa vastu, ema tütre vastu ja tütar ema vastu, ämm minia ja minia ämma vastu.'

⁵⁴And he said also to the multitudes, `When ye may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately ye say, A shower doth come, and it is so;

⁵⁴Aga Jeesus ütles ka rahvahulkadele: 'Kui te näete pilve tõusvat lääne poolt, siis te ütlete kohe: 'Raske sadu tuleb.' Ja nõnda sünnibki.

⁵⁵and when — a south wind blowing, ye say, that there will be heat, and it is;

⁵⁵Ja kui puhub lõunatuul, siis te ütlete: 'Kuum ilm tuleb.' Ja nõnda sünnib.

⁵⁶hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven ye have known to make proof of, but this time — how do ye not make proof of [it]?

⁵⁶Te silmakirjatsejad! Maa ja taeva nägu te oskate ära arvata, kuidas te siis seda aega ära ei arva?

⁵⁷`And why, also, of yourselves, judge ye not what is righteous?

⁵⁷Miks te siis iseeneste kohta ei otsusta, mis on õige?

⁵⁸for, as thou art going away with thy opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag thee unto the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer may cast thee into prison;

⁵⁸Sest see on nii: kui sa oma vastasega lähed ülema ette, püüa siis temaga asi lahendada teel, et ta sind ei veaks kohtuniku ette ja kohtunik ei annaks sind kohtuteenri kätte ja kohtuteener ei heidaks sind vangi.

⁵⁹I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till even the last mite thou mayest give back.`

⁵⁹Ma ütlen sulle, sa ei pääse sealt enne välja, kui oled tagasi maksnud viimsegi leptoni.'
