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

¹At that hour came the disciples near to Jesus, saying, `Who, now, is greater in the reign of the heavens?`

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

²And Jesus having called near a child, did set him in the midst of them,

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

³and said, `Verily I say to you, if ye may not be turned and become as the children, ye may not enter into the reign of the heavens;

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

⁴whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the reign of the heavens.

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

⁵`And he who may receive one such child in my name, doth receive me,

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.

⁶and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged upon his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.

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.

⁷`Wo to the world from the stumbling-blocks! for there is a necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but wo to that man through whom the stumbling-block doth come!

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.

⁸`And if thy hand or thy foot doth cause thee to stumble, cut them off and cast from thee; it is good for thee to enter into the life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast to the fire the age-during.

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."

⁹`And if thine eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee; it is good for thee one-eyed to enter into the life, rather than having two eyes to be cast to the gehenna of the fire.

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.

¹⁰`Beware! — ye may not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you, that their messengers in the heavens do always behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens,

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

¹¹for the Son of Man did come to save the lost.

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?

¹²`What think ye? if a man may have an hundred sheep, and there may go astray one of them, doth he not — having left the ninety-nine, having gone on the mountains — seek that which is 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.

¹³and if it may come to pass that he doth find it, verily I say to you, that he doth rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray;

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

¹⁴so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.

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

¹⁵`And if thy brother may sin against thee, go and show him his fault between thee and him alone, if he may hear thee, thou didst gain thy brother;

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

¹⁶and if he may not hear, take with thee yet one or two, that by the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may stand.

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."

¹⁷`And if he may not hear them, say [it] to the assembly, and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to thee as the heathen man and the tax-gatherer.

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

¹⁸`Verily I say to you, Whatever things ye may bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever things ye may loose on the earth shall be having been loosed 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."

¹⁹`Again, I say to you, that, if two of you may agree on the earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask — it shall be done to them from my Father who is in the heavens,

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

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

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?"

²¹Then Peter having come near to him, said, `Sir, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him — till seven times?`

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

²²Jesus saith to him, `I do not say to thee till seven times, but till seventy times seven.

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

²³`Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants,

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

²⁴and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents,

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.

²⁵and he having nothing to pay, his lord did command him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he had, and payment to be made.

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

²⁶The servant then, having fallen down, was bowing to him, saying, Sir, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;

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

²⁷and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion did release him, and the debt he forgave him.

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."

²⁸`And, that servant having come forth, found one of his fellow-servants who was owing him an hundred denaries, and having laid hold, he took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that which thou owest.

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

²⁹His fellow-servant then, having fallen down at his feet, was calling on him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;

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

³⁰and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, till he might pay that which was owing.

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

³¹`And his fellow-servants having seen the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, and having come, shewed fully to their lord all the things that were done;

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.

³²then having called him, his lord saith to him, Evil servant! all that debt I did forgive thee, seeing thou didst call upon me,

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

³³did it not behove also thee to have dealt kindly with thy fellow-servant, as I also dealt kindly with thee?

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

³⁴`And having been wroth, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, till he might pay all that was owing to him;

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

³⁵so also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.`
