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

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

²And he called to him a little child, 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 turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise 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 the 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 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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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 over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone 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 who 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.

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.

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 hear [thee] not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three 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 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.

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

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.

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 anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who 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 and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until 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, who would make a reckoning with 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, that 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 [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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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 that which was due.

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

³¹So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding 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 called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest 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 mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy 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.

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

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

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