¹Ja sündis, et kui Jeesus oli need kõned lõpetanud, lahkus ta Galileast ja tuli Juudamaa alale sinnapoole Jordanit.

¹And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, he withdrew from Galilee, and came to the coasts of Judaea beyond the Jordan;

²Ja talle järgnesid rahvahulgad, ning ta tegi nad seal terveks.

²and great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

³Ja Jeesuse juurde astus varisere, kes küsisid teda kiusates: 'Kas tohib oma naist minema ajada mis tahes põhjusel?'

³And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

⁴Tema aga vastas: 'Kas te ei ole lugenud, et loomise algul tegi Looja inimese meheks ja naiseks?'

⁴But he answering said [to them], Have ye not read that he who made [them], from the beginning made them male and female,

⁵ja ütles: 'Seepärast jätab mees oma isa ja ema ning hoiab oma naise poole ja need kaks saavad üheks.

⁵and said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?

⁶Nõnda ei ole nad enam kaks, vaid üks liha. Mis nüüd Jumal on ühte pannud, seda ärgu inimene lahutagu!'

⁶so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.

⁷Nad ütlesid talle: 'Mispärast siis Mooses on käskinud anda lahutustunnistuse, kui tahetakse naist minema ajada?'

⁷They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a letter of divorce and to send [her] away?

⁸Jeesus vastas neile: 'Teie kõva südame pärast lubas Mooses teid oma naist minema ajada, algul aga ei olnud see nõnda.

⁸He says to them, Moses, in view of your hardheartedness, allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not thus.

⁹Aga mina ütlen teile: Kes iganes ajab minema oma naise muidu kui liiderdamise pärast ja abiellub teisega, rikub abielu [ja kes abiellub minema aetud naisega, rikub abielu].'

⁹But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, not for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries one put away commits adultery.

¹⁰Jüngrid ütlesid talle: 'Kui naisevõtmisega on lugu nõnda, siis on kasulikum jätta abiellumata.'

¹⁰His disciples say to him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

¹¹Tema aga ütles neile: 'Seda sõna ei taipa igaüks, vaid ainult need, kellele antakse.

¹¹And he said to them, All cannot receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;

¹²On ju abieluks kõlbmatuid, kes nõnda on sündinud emaihust, ja on kohitsetuid, kes on inimeste kohitsetud, ja on kohitsetuid, kes on ise end taevariigi pärast kohitsenud. Kes suudab taibata, taibaku!'

¹²for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from [their] mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].

¹³Siis toodi Jeesuse juurde lapsi, et ta paneks oma käed nende peale ja palvetaks. Jüngrid sõitlesid toojaid.

¹³Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.

¹⁴Aga Jeesus ütles: 'Laske lapsed olla ja ärge keelake neid minu juurde tulemast, sest selliste päralt on taevariik!'

¹⁴But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:

¹⁵Ja ta pani oma käed laste peale. Ning läks sealt ära.

¹⁵and having laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.

¹⁶Ja vaata, keegi ütles Jeesuse juurde astudes: 'Õpetaja, mis head ma peaksin tegema, et saaksin igavese elu?'

¹⁶And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal?

¹⁷Tema ütles talle: 'Miks sa minult küsid, mis on hea? On vaid üks, kes on hea. Kui sa tahad ellu minna, siis pea käsud!'

¹⁷And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.

¹⁸Mees küsis temalt: 'Millised?' Jeesus lausus: 'Ära tapa, ära riku abielu, ära varasta, ära anna valetunnistust,

¹⁸He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

¹⁹austa isa ja ema ning armasta oma ligimest nagu iseennast!'

¹⁹Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

²⁰Noormees ütles talle: 'Seda kõike ma olen pidanud. Mis mul veel puudub?'

²⁰The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet?

²¹Jeesus lausus talle: 'Kui sa tahad olla täiuslik, siis mine müü oma varandus ja anna vaestele, ja siis on sul aare taevas, ning tule, järgne mulle!'

²¹Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to [the] poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

²²Aga kui noormees seda sõna kuulis, lahkus ta kurvastades, sest ta oli suure varanduse omanik.

²²But the young man, having heard the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.

²³Siis Jeesus ütles oma jüngritele: 'Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, rikas läheb taevariiki ränga vaevaga.

²³And Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, A rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of the heavens;

²⁴Taas ma ütlen teile, et hõlpsam on kaamelil minna läbi nõelasilma kui rikkal minna Jumala riiki.'

²⁴and again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to enter a needle's eye than a rich man into the kingdom of God.

²⁵Aga seda kuuldes jüngrid hämmastusid väga ja ütlesid: 'Kes siis küll võib pääseda?'

²⁵And when the disciples heard [it] they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved?

²⁶Jeesus aga ütles neile otsa vaadates: 'Inimeste käes on see võimatu, kõik on aga võimalik Jumala käes.'

²⁶But Jesus, looking on [them], said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

²⁷Siis kostis Peetrus: 'Vaata, meie oleme jätnud kõik maha ja järgnenud sulle. Mis siis meile saab?'

²⁷Then Peter answering said to him, Behold, *we* have left all things and have followed thee; what then shall happen to us?

²⁸Aga Jeesus ütles neile: 'Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, kes olete mulle järgnenud, uuestisündimises, kui Inimese Poeg istub oma kirkuse troonile, istute ka teie kaheteistkümnele troonile Iisraeli kaheteistkümne suguharu üle kohut mõistma.

²⁸And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That *ye* who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, *ye* also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁹Ja igaüks, kes on jätnud maha majad või vennad või õed või isa või ema või lapsed või põllud minu nime pärast, saab nad tagasi sajakordselt ja pärib igavese elu.

²⁹And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal.

³⁰Aga paljud esimesed jäävad viimasteks ja viimased saavad esimesteks.

³⁰But many first shall be last, and last first.
