Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Berean Standard Bible
1In illa hora accesserunt discipuli ad Jesum, dicentes: Quis, putas, major est in regno cælorum?
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2Et advocans Jesus parvulum, statuit eum in medio eorum,
2Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
3et dixit: Amen dico vobis, nisi conversi fueritis, et efficiamini sicut parvuli, non intrabitis in regnum cælorum.
3“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4Quicumque ergo humiliaverit se sicut parvulus iste, hic est major in regno cælorum.
4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5Et qui susceperit unum parvulum talem in nomine meo, me suscipit:
5And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
6qui autem scandalizaverit unum de pusillis istis, qui in me credunt, expedit ei ut suspendatur mola asinaria in collo ejus, et demergatur in profundum maris.
6But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7Væ mundo a scandalis ! Necesse est enim ut veniant scandala: verumtamen væ homini illi, per quem scandalum venit.
7Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!
8Si 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.
8If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.
9Et 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.
9And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
10Videte ne contemnatis unum ex his pusillis: dico enim vobis, quia angeli eorum in cælis semper vident faciem Patris mei, qui in cælis est.
10See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.
11Venit enim Filius hominis salvare quod perierat.
no verse 11 in this text
12Quid vobis videtur? si fuerint alicui centum oves, et erravit una ex eis: nonne relinquit nonaginta novem in montibus, et vadit quærere eam quæ erravit?
12What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?
13Et si contigerit ut inveniat eam: amen dico vobis, quia gaudet super eam magis quam super nonaginta novem, quæ non erraverunt.
13And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
14Sic non est voluntas ante Patrem vestrum, qui in cælis est, ut pereat unus de pusillis istis.
14In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
15Si autem peccaverit in te frater tuus, vade, et corripe eum inter te, et ipsum solum: si te audierit, lucratus eris fratrem tuum.
15If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
16Si autem te non audierit, adhibe tecum adhuc unum, vel duos, ut in ore duorum, vel trium testium stet omne verbum.
16But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
17Quod si non audierit eos: dic ecclesiæ. Si autem ecclesiam non audierit, sit tibi sicut ethnicus et publicanus.
17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
18Amen dico vobis, quæcumque alligaveritis super terram, erunt ligata et in cælo: et quæcumque solveritis super terram, erunt soluta et in cælo.
18Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19Iterum dico vobis, quia si duo ex vobis consenserint super terram, de omni re quamcumque petierint, fiet illis a Patre meo, qui in cælis est.
19Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.
20Ubi enim sunt duo vel tres congregati in nomine meo, ibi sum in medio eorum.
20For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
21Tunc accedens Petrus ad eum, dixit: Domine, quoties peccabit in me frater meus, et dimittam ei? usque septies?
21Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22Dicit illi Jesus: Non dico tibi usque septies: sed usque septuagies septies.
22Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
23Ideo assimilatum est regnum cælorum homini regi, qui voluit rationem ponere cum servis suis.
23Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24Et cum cœpisset rationem ponere, oblatus est ei unus, qui debebat ei decem millia talenta.
24As he began the settlements, a debtor was brought to him owing ten thousand talents.
25Cum autem non haberet unde redderet, jussit eum dominus ejus venundari, et uxorem ejus, et filios, et omnia quæ habebat, et reddi.
25Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife and children and everything he owned.
26Procidens autem servus ille, orabat eum, dicens: Patientiam habe in me, et omnia reddam tibi.
26Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
27Misertus autem dominus servi illius, dimisit eum, et debitum dimisit ei.
27His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
28Egressus autem servus ille invenit unum de conservis suis, qui debebat ei centum denarios: et tenens suffocavit eum, dicens: Redde quod debes.
28But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’
29Et procidens conservus ejus, rogabat eum, dicens: Patientiam habe in me, et omnia reddam tibi.
29So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
30Ille autem noluit: sed abiit, et misit eum in carcerem donec redderet debitum.
30But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
31Videntes autem conservi ejus quæ fiebant, contristati sunt valde: et venerunt, et narraverunt domino suo omnia quæ facta fuerant.
31When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.
32Tunc vocavit illum dominus suus: et ait illi: Serve nequam, omne debitum dimisi tibi quoniam rogasti me:
32Then the master summoned him and declared, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
33nonne ergo oportuit et te misereri conservi tui, sicut et ego tui misertus sum?
33Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
34Et iratus dominus ejus tradidit eum tortoribus, quoadusque redderet universum debitum.
34In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
35Sic et Pater meus cælestis faciet vobis, si non remiseritis unusquisque fratri suo de cordibus vestris.
35That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
