¹In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

¹Ande kodia vriama le disipluria avile ka Jesus, ai phushle les, "Kon si o mai baro ande amperetsia le rhaioski?"

²And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,

²O Jesus akhardias peste iek tsinorhi glata, ai thodia les angla lende,

³and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

³ai phendia, "Chachimos phenav tumenge, te na keiin tume ai te kerdion sar tsinorhe glate, nashtin chi te nakhen ande amperetsia le rhaioski."

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

⁴Kon godi mekelape kovlo sar kacha tsinorhi glata si o mai baro ande amperetsia le rhaioski.

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

⁵Ai kon godi primila iek tsinorhi glata sar kadia ando murho anav primil man."

⁶But whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and [that] he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.

⁶Numa kon godi kerela iek anda kadala tsinorhe kai pachanpe ande mande te peren ando bezex, mai bini te avel ek baro bax phanglo ka leski kox ai te avel shudino ande bari maria.

⁷Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!

⁷Nasul la lumiake pala o zumaimos kai ingerel le manushen te peren ando bezex. O zumaimos musai te avel, numa nasul kodoleske kastar avela o zumaimos.

⁸And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.

⁸Te si cho vas vai cho punrho kai kerel tu te peres ando bezex, shin les ai shude les dur tutar! Mai bini te zhas ando chacho traio ieka vastesa vai ieke punrhesa de sar te aven tu dui vas ai dui punrhe ai te aves shudino ande iag kai chi getolpe.

⁹And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.

⁹Ai te si chi iakh ke kerel tu te peres ando bezex. Le la avri ai shude la dur tutar! Ke mai bini te zhas ando chacho traio ieka iakhasa de sar te aven tut dui iakha ai te aves shudino ande iag le iadoski."

¹⁰See 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 who is in heaven.

¹⁰"Arakhen tume te na vurhitsin iek anda kadala tsinorhe." Ke phenav tumenge, ke lenge angeluria ando rhaio, dikhen sa data iek pe fatsa murhe Dadeski kai si ando rhaio.

¹¹[For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.]

¹¹Ke O Shav le manushesko avilo te skepil kodia kai sas xasardo.

¹²How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray?

¹²So gindis? Te si iek manush kai si les ek shel bakre, ai iek anda lende xasavol, chi mekel le iniarvardesh tai inia pe plai ai te zhal te rodel o iek kai xasailo?

¹³And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray.

¹³Ai te arakhela les, phenav tumenge o chachimos, "Mai raduime anda kodo iek de sar andal kaver iniarvardesh tai inia kai nas xasarde.

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

¹⁴Ai sa kadia nai e voia tumaro Dadeski kai si ando rhaio, te xasavol ai te xaiil chi iek anda kadala tsinorhe.

¹⁵And if thy brother sin against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

¹⁵"Te kerdia cho phral bezex karing tute, zha leste korkorho ai sikav leske leski dosh. Te ashunela tute nirisardian che phrales palpale.

¹⁶But if he hear [thee] not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established.

¹⁶Numa te na ashunela tute, le tusa iek vai dui manush kashte te avel dui vai trin marturia ka divano.

¹⁷And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican.

¹⁷Te na ashunela lende, phen la khangeriake; te na ashunela ka khangeri, jin les sar iek manush kai chi pachalpe ando Del, ai sar iek manush kai chidel e taksa."

¹⁸Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

¹⁸O chachimos phenav tumenge, "So godi phandena pe phuv vunzhe phanglo ando rhaio; ai so godi tume phutrena pe phuv vunzhe phuterdo ando rhaio."

¹⁹Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.

¹⁹Magdata phenav tumenge, "Te avela dui anda tumende kai san vorta ai chache iekavresa ai pe iek gindo pe phuv, vari so kai mangena si e avel, kerdo lenge katar murho Dat ando rhaio."

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

²⁰Ke kai dui vai trin chidenape ande murho anav, "Me sim, mashkar lende."

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

²¹Antunchi o Petri avilo ka Jesus ai phushlia les, "Gazda, sodivar trobul te iertiv murhe phraleske te kerela bezexa karing mande? Zhi ka e eftato data?"

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

²²O Jesus phendias leske, "Me phenav tuke na zhi ka e eftato data, numa zhi kal eftavardesh data efta.

²³Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants.

²³"E amperetsia le rhaioski si sar iek amperto kai manglias te dikhel sode kamenas leske, leske slugi.

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

²⁴De anda gor andine leske iekes kai kamelas leske desh mi.

²⁵But forasmuch as he had not [wherewith] to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

²⁵Ke nashti pochinelas, lesko gazda dias ordina te bichinen les, leska rhomnia, leske shaven, ai sa so godi sas les, kashte te pochindiol so kamelas.

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

²⁶E sluga thodiape ande changende ai rhugisailo leste, 'Na xoliavol, rhevdisar, azhuker ma, ai pochinava tuke sa.'

²⁷And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

²⁷Leske gazdaske pelias mila, ai meklias les te zhal ivia. Iertisardias les so godi kamelas leske.

²⁸But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.

²⁸"Numa e mizmo sluga sar zhalas avri, arakhlias iek andal kaver slugi, kai kamelas leske iek shel teliara. Lias les korhatar ai phendias, " Pochin mange so godi kames mange."

²⁹So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.

²⁹Kodia sluga thodiape ande changende ai rhugisailo leste, " Na xoliavol, rhevdisar, azhuker ma, ai pochinava tuke sa."

³⁰And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due.

³⁰Numa wo chi manglias, gelo ai thodias les ande temnitsa zhi pon pochinela so kamel.

³¹So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

³¹Kana le kaver slugi dikhle so kerdiliape, de sa nasul sas lenge, gele ai phende le gazdaske so godi kerdiliape.

³²Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me:

³²Antunchi lesko gazda akhardias les, ai phendias leske, "Tu bi lasho, bi ilesko, nasul sluga! Me iertisardem tuke so godi kamesas mange ke rhugisailian mande.

³³shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?

³³Chi trobulas te avel tuke mila andai kaver sluga, sar sas mange mila anda tute?"

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

³⁴Ande xoli lesko gazda thodias les ande temnitsa zhi pon pochinal so godi kamelas.

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

³⁵"Sakadia si te kerel tumensa murho Dat kai si ando rhaio, te na iertina tumare phralen sa ilesa."
