Evangelium secundum Matthaeum

In illa hora accesserunt discipuli ad Jesum, dicentes: Quis, putas, major est in regno cælorum?

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who, thinkest thou, is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?

In illa hora discipulos accede ad Iesu, dicente: qui, puta, magna es in regno de caelos?

Et advocans Jesus parvulum, statuit eum in medio eorum,

And Jesus, calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them.

Et advoca Iesu parvulo, statue illo in medio de illos,

et dixit: Amen dico vobis, nisi conversi fueritis, et efficiamini sicut parvuli, non intrabitis in regnum cælorum.

And said: amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Et dic: amen dic ad vos, nisi converte es, et efficie sicut parvulo, non intra in regno de caelos.

Quicumque ergo humiliaverit se sicut parvulus iste, hic est major in regno cælorum.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.

Omni ergo humilia se sicut parvulo isto, hoc es magna in regno de caelos.

Et qui susceperit unum parvulum talem in nomine meo, me suscipit:

And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

Et qui suscipe uno parvulo tale in nomine meo, me suscipe:

qui autem scandalizaverit unum de pusillis istis, qui in me credunt, expedit ei ut suspendatur mola asinaria in collo ejus, et demergatur in profundum maris.

But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.

Qui autem scandaliza uno de pusillo isto, qui in me crede, expedie ad illo ut mola asinario suspende in collo de illo, et deme in profundo de mari.

Væ mundo a scandalis! Necesse est enim ut veniant scandala: verumtamen væ homini illi, per quem scandalum venit.

Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.

Vae ad mundo ab scandalo! Necesse es nam ut scandalos veni: verumtamen vae ad homine illo, per quem scandalo veni.

Si autem manus tua, vel pes tuus scandalizat te, abscide eum, et projice abs te: bonum tibi est ad vitam ingredi debilem, vel claudum, quam duas manus vel duos pedes habentem mitti in ignem æternum.

And if thy hand, or thy foot, scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.

Si autem manu tuo, vel pede tuo scandaliza te, abscide illo, et proiice ab te: bono ad te es ad vita ingredior debile, vel claudo, quam duo manu vel duo pede habe mitte in igni aeterno.

Et si oculus tuus scandalizat te, erue eum, et projice abs te: bonum tibi est cum uno oculo in vitam intrare, quam duos oculos habentem mitti in gehennam ignis.

And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Et si oculo tuo scandaliza te, erue illo, et proiice ab te: bono ad te es cum uno oculo in vita intra, quam duo oculo habe mitte in gehenna de igni.

Videte ne contemnatis unum ex his pusillis: dico enim vobis, quia angeli eorum in cælis semper vident faciem Patris mei, qui in cælis est.

See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Vide ne contemne uno ex hoc pusillo: dic nam ad vos, quia angelos de illos in caelos semper vide facie de Patre meo, qui in caelos es.

Venit enim Filius hominis salvare quod perierat.

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

Filio nam de homine veni salva quod peri.

Quid vobis videtur? si fuerint alicui centum oves, et erravit una ex eis: nonne relinquit nonaginta novem in montibus, et vadit quærere eam quæ erravit?

What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and goeth to seek that which is gone astray?

Quid ad vos vide se? Si cento ad aliquo oves es, et erra uno ex illos: nonne relinque nonaginta noveme in montes, et vade quaere illa que erra?

Et si contigerit ut inveniat eam: amen dico vobis, quia gaudet super eam magis quam super nonaginta novem, quæ non erraverunt.

And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.

Et si continge ut inveni illa: amen dic ad vos, quia gaude super illa magis quam super nonaginta noveme, que non erra.

Sic non est voluntas ante Patrem vestrum, qui in cælis est, ut pereat unus de pusillis istis.

Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

Sic non voluntate es ante Patre vestro, qui in caelos es, ut uno de pusillo isto peri.

Si autem peccaverit in te frater tuus, vade, et corripe eum inter te, et ipsum solum: si te audierit, lucratus eris fratrem tuum.

But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.

Si autem fratre in te tuo pecca, vade, et corripie illo inter te, et ipso solo: si te audi, lucror es fratre tuo.

Si autem te non audierit, adhibe tecum adhuc unum, vel duos, ut in ore duorum, vel trium testium stet omne verbum.

And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.

Si autem te non audi, adhibe tecum adhuc uno, vel duo, ut in ore duo, vel de tre de teste sta omni verbo.

Quod si non audierit eos: dic ecclesiæ. Si autem ecclesiam non audierit, sit tibi sicut ethnicus et publicanus.

And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.

Quod si non audi illos: dic ad ecclesia. Si autem ecclesia non audi, es ad te sicut ethnico et publicano.

Amen dico vobis, quæcumque alligaveritis super terram, erunt ligata et in cælo: et quæcumque solveritis super terram, erunt soluta et in cælo.

Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.

Amen dic ad vos, omni alliga super terra, es ligo et in caelo: et omni solve super terra, es solve et in caelo.

Iterum dico vobis, quia si duo ex vobis consenserint super terram, de omni re quamcumque petierint, fiet illis a Patre meo, qui in cælis est.

Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning anything whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven.

Iterum dic ad vos, quia si duo ex vos consentie super terra, de omni re et quamcum pete, i fi ad illos ab Patre meo, qui in caelos es.

Ubi enim sunt duo vel tres congregati in nomine meo, ibi sum in medio eorum.

For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Ubi nam es duo vel tre congrega in nomine meo, ibi es in medio de illos.

Tunc accedens Petrus ad eum, dixit: Domine, quoties peccabit in me frater meus, et dimittam ei? usque septies?

Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Tunc accede Petro ad illo, dic: domino, quotiens fratre in me meo pecca, et dimitte ad illo? Usque septiens?

Dicit illi Jesus: Non dico tibi usque septies: sed usque septuagies septies.

Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.

Iesu ad illo dic: non dic ad te usque septiens: sed usque septuagiente septiens.

Ideo assimilatum est regnum cælorum homini regi, qui voluit rationem ponere cum servis suis.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.

Ideo assimula es regno de caelos ad homine ad rege, qui vol ratione pone cum servos suo.

Et cum cœpisset rationem ponere, oblatus est ei unus, qui debebat ei decem millia talenta.

And when he had begun to take the account, one as brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.

Et cum incipe ratione pone, offer es ad illo uno, qui debe ad illo deceme mile talentos.

Cum autem non haberet unde redderet, jussit eum dominus ejus venundari, et uxorem ejus, et filios, et omnia quæ habebat, et reddi.

And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

Cum autem non habe unde redde, domino illo de illo iube vende, et uxore de illo, et filios, et omni que habe, et redde.

Procidens autem servus ille, orabat eum, dicens: Patientiam habe in me, et omnia reddam tibi.

But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

Procide autem servo illo, ora illo, dicente: patientia habe in me, et omni redde ad te.

Misertus autem dominus servi illius, dimisit eum, et debitum dimisit ei.

And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.

Misereor autem domino de servo de illo, remitte illo, et debe remitte ad illo.

Egressus autem servus ille invenit unum de conservis suis, qui debebat ei centum denarios: et tenens suffocavit eum, dicens: Redde quod debes.

But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow-servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, he throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.

Egredior autem servo illo inveni uno de conservos suo, qui debe ad illo cento denarios: et tene suffoca illo, dicente: sedda quod debe.

Et procidens conservus ejus, rogabat eum, dicens: Patientiam habe in me, et omnia reddam tibi.

And his fellow-servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

Et procide conservo de illo, roga illo, dicente: patientia habe in me, et omni redde ad te.

Ille autem noluit: sed abiit, et misit eum in carcerem donec redderet debitum.

And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.

Illo autem ne vol: sed i ab, et mitte illo in carcere usque que redde debe.

Videntes autem conservi ejus quæ fiebant, contristati sunt valde: et venerunt, et narraverunt domino suo omnia quæ facta fuerant.

Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came, and told their lord all that was done.

Vide autem conservos de illo que fi, contrista es valde: et veni, et narra ad domino suo omni que facto es.

Tunc vocavit illum dominus suus: et ait illi: Serve nequam, omne debitum dimisi tibi quoniam rogasti me:

Then his lord called him: and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:

Tunc domino suo voca illo: et dic ad illo: serve nequissimo, omni debe dimitte ad te quia roga me:

nonne ergo oportuit et te misereri conservi tui, sicut et ego tui misertus sum?

Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?

Nonne ergo debe et te misereor de conservo tuo, sicut et me tuo misereor es?

Et iratus dominus ejus tradidit eum tortoribus, quoadusque redderet universum debitum.

And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.

Et irascor domino de illo trade illo ad tortores, et quoadus redde universa debe.

Sic et Pater meus cælestis faciet vobis, si non remiseritis unusquisque fratri suo de cordibus vestris.

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

Sic et Patre meo caelesti i fac ad vos, si non remitte et unusquis ad fratre suo de cordes vestro.
