Mateo 18

1Nang oras na yaon ay nagsilapit ang mga alagad kay Jesus, na nangagsasabi, Sino nga baga ang pinakadakila sa kaharian ng langit? 2At pinalapit niya sa kaniya ang isang maliit na bata, at inilagay sa gitna nila, 3At sinabi, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Malibang kayo'y magsipanumbalik, at maging tulad sa maliliit na bata, sa anomang paraan ay hindi kayo magsisipasok sa kaharian ng langit. 4Sinoman ngang magpakababa na gaya ng maliit na batang ito, ay siyang pinakadakila sa kaharian ng langit. 5At sinomang tumanggap sa isa sa ganitong maliit na bata sa aking pangalan ay ako ang tinanggap: 6Datapuwa't sinomang magbigay ng ikatitisod sa isa sa maliliit na ito na nagsisisampalataya sa akin, ay may pakikinabangin pa siya kung bitinan ang kaniyang leeg ng isang malaking batong gilingan, at siya'y ilubog sa kalaliman ng dagat. 7Sa aba ng sanglibutan dahil sa mga kadahilanan ng pagkatisod! sapagka't kinakailangang dumating ang mga kadahilanan; datapuwa't sa aba ng taong yaong panggalingan ng kadahilanan! 8At kung ang kamay mo o ang paa mo ay makapagpapatisod sa iyo, ay putulin mo, at iyong itapon: mabuti pa sa iyo ang pumasok sa buhay na pingkaw o pilay, kay sa may dalawang kamay o dalawang paa na ibulid ka sa apoy na walang hanggan. 9At kung ang mata mo ang makapagpapatisod sa iyo, ay dukitin mo, at iyong itapon: mabuti pa sa iyo ang pumasok sa buhay na iisa ang mata, kay sa may dalawang mata na ibulid ka sa apoy ng impierno. 10Ingatan ninyo na huwag ninyong pawalang halaga ang isa sa maliliit na ito: sapagka't sinasabi ko sa inyo, na ang kanilang mga anghel sa langit ay nangakakakitang palagi ng mukha ng aking Ama na nasa langit. 11Sapagka't ang Anak ng tao ay naparito upang iligtas ang nawala. 12Ano ang akala ninyo? kung ang isang tao ay may isang daang tupa, at maligaw ang isa sa mga yaon, hindi baga iiwan niya ang siyam na pu't siyam, at pasasa kabundukan, at hahanapin ang naligaw? 13At kung mangyaring masumpungan niya, ay katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na magagalak ng higit dahil dito kay sa siyam na pu't siyam na hindi nangaligaw. 14Gayon din na hindi nga kalooban ng inyong Amang nasa langit, na ang isa sa maliliit na ito ay mapahamak. 15At kung magkasala laban sa iyo ang kapatid mo, pumaroon ka, at ipakilala mo sa kaniya ang kaniyang kasalanan na ikaw at siyang magisa: kung ikaw ay pakinggan niya, ay nagwagi ka sa iyong kapatid. 16Datapuwa't kung hindi ka niya pakinggan, ay magsama ka pa ng isa o dalawa, upang sa bibig ng dalawang saksi o tatlo ay mapagtibay ang bawa't salita. 17At kung ayaw niyang pakinggan sila, ay sabihin mo sa iglesia: at kung ayaw rin niyang pakinggan ang iglesia, ay ipalagay mo siyang tulad sa Gentil at maniningil ng buwis. 18Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na ang lahat ng mga bagay na inyong talian sa lupa ay tatalian sa langit: at ang lahat ng mga bagay na inyong kalagan sa lupa ay kakalagan sa langit. 19Muling sinasabi ko sa inyo, na kung pagkasunduan ng dalawa sa inyo sa lupa ang nauukol sa anomang bagay na kanilang hihingin, ay gagawin sa kanila ng aking Ama na nasa langit. 20Sapagka't kung saan nagkakatipon ang dalawa o tatlo sa aking pangalan, ay naroroon ako sa gitna nila. 21Nang magkagayo'y lumapit si Pedro at sinabi sa kaniya, Panginoon, makailang magkakasala ang aking kapatid laban sa akin na siya'y aking patatawarin? hanggang sa makapito? 22Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Hindi ko sinasabi sa iyo, Hanggang sa makapito; kundi, Hanggang sa makapitongpung pito. 23Kaya't ang kaharian ng langit ay tulad sa isang hari, na nagibig na makipagusap sa kaniyang mga alipin. 24At nang siya'y magpasimulang makipaghusay, ay iniharap sa kaniya ang isa sa kaniya'y may utang na sangpung libong talento. 25Datapuwa't palibhasa'y wala siyang sukat ibayad, ipinagutos ng kaniyang panginoon na siya'y ipagbili, at ang kaniyang asawa't mga anak, at ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik, at nang makabayad. 26Dahil dito ang alipin ay nagpatirapa at sumamba sa kaniya, na nagsasabi, Panginoon, pagtiisan mo ako, at pagbabayaran ko sa iyong lahat. 27At sa habag ng panginoon sa aliping yaon, ay pinawalan siya, at ipinatawad sa kaniya ang utang. 28Datapuwa't lumabas ang aliping yaon, at nasumpungan ang isa sa mga kapuwa niya alipin, na sa kaniya'y may utang na isang daang denario: at kaniyang hinawakan siya, at sinakal niya, na sinasabi, Bayaran mo ang utang mo. 29Kaya't nagpatirapa ang kaniyang kapuwa alipin at namanhik sa kaniya, na nagsasabi, Pagtiisan mo ako, at ikaw ay pagbabayaran ko. 30At siya'y ayaw: at yumaon at siya'y ipinabilanggo hanggang sa magbayad siya ng utang. 31Nang makita nga ng kaniyang mga kapuwa alipin ang nangyari, ay nangamanglaw silang lubha, at nagsiparoon at isinaysay sa kanilang panginoon ang lahat ng nangyari. 32Nang magkagayo'y pinalapit siya ng kaniyang panginoon, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Ikaw na aliping masama, ipinatawad ko sa iyo ang lahat ng utang na yaon, sapagka't ipinamanhik mo sa akin: 33Hindi baga dapat na ikaw naman ay mahabag sa iyong kapuwa alipin, na gaya ko namang nahabag sa iyo? 34At nagalit ang kaniyang panginoon, at ibinigay siya sa mga tagapagpahirap, hanggang sa siya'y magbayad ng lahat ng utang. 35Gayon din naman ang gagawin sa inyo ng aking Ama na nasa kalangitan, kung hindi ninyo patatawarin sa inyong mga puso, ng bawa't isa ang kaniyang kapatid.

1In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” 2Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in their midst, 3and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. 4Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. 5Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me, 6but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea. 7“Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes! 8If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. 9If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehennaof fire. 10See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. 11For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost. 12“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray? 13If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. 14Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. 15“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. 16But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector. 18Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven. 19Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. 20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.” 21Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?” 22Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven. 23Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants. 24When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’ 27The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. 28“But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii,and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ 29“So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’ 30He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due. 31So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done. 32Then his lord called him in, and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me. 33Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’ 34His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him. 35So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”

1Te dierzelfder ure kwamen de discipelen tot Jezus, zeggende: Wie is toch de meeste in het Koninkrijk der hemelen? 2En Jezus een kindeken tot Zich geroepen hebbende, stelde dat in het midden van hen; 3En zeide: Voorwaar zeg Ik u: Indien gij u niet verandert, en wordt gelijk de kinderkens, zo zult gij in het Koninkrijk der hemelen geenszins ingaan. 4Zo wie dan zichzelven zal vernederen, gelijk dit kindeken, deze is de meeste in het Koninkrijk der hemelen. 5En zo wie zodanig een kindeken ontvangt in Mijn Naam, die ontvangt Mij. 6Maar zo wie een van deze kleinen, die in Mij geloven, ergert, het ware hem nutter, dat een molensteen aan zijn hals gehangen, en dat hij verzonken ware in de diepte der zee. 7Wee der wereld van de ergernissen, want het is noodzakelijk, dat de ergernissen komen; doch wee dien mens, door welken de ergernis komt! 8Indien dan uw hand of uw voet u ergert, houwt ze af en werpt ze van u. Het is u beter, tot het leven in te gaan, kreupel of verminkt zijnde, dan twee handen of twee voeten hebbende, in het eeuwige vuur geworpen te worden. 9En indien uw oog u ergert, trekt het uit, en werpt het van u. Het is u beter, maar een oog hebbende, tot het leven in te gaan, dan twee ogen hebbende, in het helse vuur geworpen te worden. 10Ziet toe, dat gij niet een van deze kleinen veracht. Want Ik zeg ulieden, dat hun engelen, in de hemelen, altijd zien het aangezicht Mijns Vaders, Die in de hemelen is. 11Want de Zoon des mensen is gekomen om zalig te maken, dat verloren was. 12Wat dunkt u, indien enig mens honderd schapen had, en een uit dezelve afgedwaald ware, zal hij niet de negen en negentig laten, en op de bergen heengaande, het afgedwaalde zoeken? 13En indien het geschiedt, dat hij hetzelve vindt, voorwaar zeg Ik u, dat hij zich meer verblijdt over hetzelve, dan over de negen en negentig, die niet afgedwaald zijn geweest. 14Alzo is de wil niet uws Vaders, Die in de hemelen is, dat een van deze kleinen verloren ga. 15Maar indien uw broeder tegen u gezondigd heeft, ga heen en bestraf hem tussen u en hem alleen; indien hij u hoort, zo hebt gij uw broeder gewonnen. 16Maar indien hij u niet hoort, zo neem nog een of twee met u; opdat in de mond van twee of drie getuigen alle woord besta. 17En indien hij denzelven geen gehoor geeft; zo zeg het der gemeente; en indien hij ook der gemeente geen gehoor geeft, zo zij hij u als de heiden en de tollenaar. 18Voorwaar zeg Ik u: Al wat gij op de aarde binden zult, zal in de hemel gebonden wezen; en al wat gij op de aarde ontbinden zult, zal in den hemel ontbonden wezen. 19Wederom zeg Ik u: Indien er twee van u samenstemmen op de aarde, over enige zaak, die zij zouden mogen begeren, dat die hun zal geschieden van Mijn Vader, Die in de hemelen is. 20Want waar twee of drie vergaderd zijn in Mijn Naam, daar ben Ik in het midden van hen. 21Toen kwam Petrus tot Hem, en zeide: Heere! hoe menigmaal zal mijn broeder tegen mij zondigen, en ik hem vergeven! Tot zevenmaal? 22Jezus zeide tot hem: Ik zeg u, niet tot zevenmaal, maar tot zeventigmaal zeven maal. 23Daarom wordt het Koninkrijk der hemelen vergeleken bij een zeker koning, die rekening met zijn dienstknechten houden wilde. 24Als hij nu begon te rekenen, werd tot hem gebracht een, die hem schuldig was tien duizend talenten. 25En als hij niet had, om te betalen, beval zijn heer, dat men hem zou verkopen, en zijn vrouw en kinderen, en al wat hij had, en dat de schuld zou betaald worden. 26De dienstknecht dan, nedervallende, aanbad hem, zeggende: Heer! wees lankmoedig over mij, en ik zal u alles betalen. 27En de heer van dezen dienstknecht, met barmhartigheid innerlijk bewogen zijnde, heeft hem ontslagen, en de schuld hem kwijtgescholden. 28Maar dezelve dienstknecht, uitgaande, heeft gevonden een zijner mededienstknechten, die hem honderd penningen schuldig was, en hem aanvattende, greep hem bij de keel, zeggende: Betaal mij, wat gij schuldig zijt. 29Zijn mededienstknecht dan, nedervallende aan zijn voeten, bad hem, zeggende: Wees lankmoedig over mij, en ik zal u alles betalen. 30Doch hij wilde niet, maar ging heen, en wierp hem in de gevangenis, totdat hij de schuld zou betaald hebben. 31Als nu zijn mededienstknechten zagen, hetgeen geschied was, zijn zij zeer bedroefd geworden; en komende, verklaarden zij hunnen heer al wat er geschied was. 32Toen heeft hem zijn heer tot zich geroepen, en zeide tot hem: Gij boze dienstknecht, al die schuld heb ik u kwijtgescholden, dewijl gij mij gebeden hebt; 33Behoordet gij ook niet u over uw mededienstknecht te ontfermen, gelijk ik ook mij over u ontfermd heb? 34En zijn heer, vertoornd zijnde, leverde hem den pijnigers over, totdat hij zou betaald hebben al wat hij hem schuldig was. 35Alzo zal ook Mijn hemelse Vader u doen, indien gij niet van harte vergeeft een iegelijk zijn broeder zijn misdaden.
