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

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

²And Jesus having called a little child to [him], set it in their midst,

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

³and said, Verily I say to you, Unless ye are converted and become as little children, ye will not at all enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

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

⁴Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, *he* is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens;

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

⁵and whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receives me.

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

⁶But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths 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 to the world because of offences! For it must needs be that offences come; yet woe to that man by whom the offence comes!

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 offend thee, cut it off and cast [it] from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life lame or maimed, [rather] than having two hands or two feet to be cast into 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 offend thee, pluck it out and cast [it] from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life one-eyed, [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 do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you that their angels in [the] heavens continually behold the face of my Father who is in [the] heavens.

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.

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

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

¹²What think ye? If a certain man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not, leaving the ninety and nine on the mountains, go and seek the one that has gone 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 it should come to pass that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices more because of it than because of the ninety and nine 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.

¹⁴So it is not the will of your Father who is in [the] heavens 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.

¹⁵But if thy brother sin against thee, go, reprove him 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 do not hear [thee], take with thee one or two besides, that every matter may stand upon the word of two witnesses or of three.

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

¹⁷But if he will not listen to them, tell it to the assembly; and if also he will not listen to the assembly, let him be to thee as one of the nations and a tax-gatherer.

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 to you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on the 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 to you, that if two of you shall agree on the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever it may be that they shall ask, it shall come to them from my Father who is in [the] heavens.

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 unto my name, there am I in the midst of them.

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

²¹Then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often 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 says to him, I say not to 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.

²³For this cause the kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who would reckon with his bondmen.

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

²⁴And having begun to reckon, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him.

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

²⁵But he not having anything to pay, [his] lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and his children, and everything that he had, and that payment should 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 bondman therefore falling down did him homage, 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 bondman, being moved with compassion, loosed him and forgave him the loan.

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

²⁸But that bondman having gone out, found one of his fellow-bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having seized him, he throttled him, saying, Pay [me] if thou owest anything.

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."

²⁹His fellow-bondman therefore, having fallen down [at his feet], 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."

³⁰But he would not, but went away and cast him into prison, until he should pay what was owing.

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

³¹But his fellow-bondmen, having seen what had taken place, were greatly grieved, and went and recounted to their lord all that had taken place.

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

³²Then his lord, having called him to [him], says to him, Wicked bondman! 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 compassion on thy fellow-bondman, as *I* also had compassion on thee?

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

³⁴And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormentors till he paid all that was owing to him.

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

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

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