Matthew, chapter 18 / Bible / Bibleox

1	At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
	Εν-εκείνη-τῆ-ώρα-προσῆλθον-οι-μαθηταὶ-τῶ-Ιησοῦ-λέγοντες-,-Τίς-άρα-μείζων-εστὶν-εν-τῆ-βασιλεία-τῶν-ουρανῶν-;-
2	Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,
	καὶ-προσκαλεσάμενος-παιδίον-έστησεν-αυτὸ-εν-μέσω-αυτῶν-
3	and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
	καὶ-εῖπεν-,-Αμὴν-λέγω-υμῖν-,-εὰν-μὴ-στραφῆτε-καὶ-γένησθε-ως-τὰ-παιδία-,-ου-μὴ-εισέλθητε-εις-τὴν-βασιλείαν-τῶν-ουρανῶν-.-
4	Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
	όστις-οῦν-ταπεινώσει-εαυτὸν-ως-τὸ-παιδίον-τοῦτο-,-οῦτός-εστιν-ο-μείζων-εν-τῆ-βασιλεία-τῶν-ουρανῶν-.-
5	Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.
	καὶ-ὸς-εὰν-δέξηται-ὲν-παιδίον-τοιοῦτο-επὶ-τῶ-ονόματί-μου-,-εμὲ-δέχεται-.-
6	“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
	Ὸς-δ᾿-ὰν-σκανδαλίση-ένα-τῶν-μικρῶν-τούτων-τῶν-πιστευόντων-εις-εμέ-,-συμφέρει-αυτῶ-ίνα-κρεμασθῆ-μύλος-ονικὸς-περὶ-τὸν-τράχηλον-αυτοῦ-καὶ-καταποντισθῆ-εν-τῶ-πελάγει-τῆς-θαλάσσης-.-
7	Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!
	ουαὶ-τῶ-κόσμω-απὸ-τῶν-σκανδάλων-·-ανάγκη-γὰρ-ελθεῖν-τὰ-σκάνδαλα-,-πλὴν-ουαὶ-τῶ-ανθρώπω-δι᾿-οῦ-τὸ-σκάνδαλον-έρχεται-.-
8	“If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire.
	Ει-δὲ-η-χείρ-σου-ὴ-ο-πούς-σου-σκανδαλίζει-σε-,-έκκοψον-αυτὸν-καὶ-βάλε-απὸ-σοῦ-·-καλόν-σοί-εστιν-εισελθεῖν-εις-τὴν-ζωὴν-κυλλὸν-ὴ-χωλόν-,-ὴ-δύο-χεῖρας-ὴ-δύο-πόδας-έχοντα-βληθῆναι-εις-τὸ-πῦρ-τὸ-αιώνιον-.-
9	And if your eye causes you to sin, 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 hell fire.
	καὶ-ει-ο-οφθαλμός-σου-σκανδαλίζει-σε-,-έξελε-αυτὸν-καὶ-βάλε-απὸ-σοῦ-·-καλόν-σοί-εστιν-μονόφθαλμον-εις-τὴν-ζωὴν-εισελθεῖν-,-ὴ-δύο-οφθαλμοὺς-έχοντα-βληθῆναι-εις-τὴν-γέενναν-τοῦ-πυρός-.-
10	“Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven.
	Ορᾶτε-μὴ-καταφρονήσητε-ενὸς-τῶν-μικρῶν-τούτων-·-λέγω-γὰρ-υμῖν-ότι-οι-άγγελοι-αυτῶν-εν-ουρανοῖς-διὰ-παντὸς-βλέπουσι-τὸ-πρόσωπον-τοῦ-πατρός-μου-τοῦ-εν-ουρανοῖς-.-
11	For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.
	.-
12	“What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying?
	Τί-υμῖν-δοκεῖ-;-εὰν-γένηταί-τινι-ανθρώπω-εκατὸν-πρόβατα-καὶ-πλανηθῆ-ὲν-εξ-αυτῶν-,-ουχὶ-αφήσει-τὰ-ενενήκοντα-εννέα-επὶ-τὰ-όρη-καὶ-πορευθεὶς-ζητεῖ-τὸ-πλανώμενον-;-
13	And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
	καὶ-εὰν-γένηται-ευρεῖν-αυτό-,-αμὴν-λέγω-υμῖν-ότι-χαίρει-επ᾿-αυτῶ-μᾶλλον-ὴ-επὶ-τοῖς-ενενήκοντα-εννέα-τοῖς-μὴ-πεπλανημένοις-.-
14	Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
	ούτως-ουκ-έστιν-θέλημα-έμπροσθεν-τοῦ-πατρὸς-υμῶν-τοῦ-εν-ουρανοῖς-ίνα-απόληται-ὲν-τῶν-μικρῶν-τούτων-.-
15	“Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.
	Εὰν-δὲ-αμαρτήση-[-εις-σὲ-]-ο-αδελφός-σου-,-ύπαγε-έλεγξον-αυτὸν-μεταξὺ-σοῦ-καὶ-αυτοῦ-μόνου-.-εάν-σου-ακούση-,-εκέρδησας-τὸν-αδελφόν-σου-·-
16	But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’
	εὰν-δὲ-μὴ-ακούση-,-παράλαβε-μετὰ-σοῦ-έτι-ένα-ὴ-δύο-,-ίνα-επὶ-στόματος-δύο-μαρτύρων-ὴ-τριῶν-σταθῆ-πᾶν-ρῆμα-·-
17	And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.
	εὰν-δὲ-παρακούση-αυτῶν-,-ειπὲ-τῆ-εκκλησία-·-εὰν-δὲ-καὶ-τῆς-εκκλησίας-παρακούση-,-έστω-σοι-ώσπερ-ο-εθνικὸς-καὶ-ο-τελώνης-.-
18	“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
	Αμὴν-λέγω-υμῖν-,-όσα-εὰν-δήσητε-επὶ-τῆς-γῆς-έσται-δεδεμένα-εν-ουρανῶ-καὶ-όσα-εὰν-λύσητε-επὶ-τῆς-γῆς-έσται-λελυμένα-εν-ουρανῶ-.-
19	“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
	Πάλιν-λέγω-υμῖν-ότι-εὰν-δύο-συμφωνήσωσιν-εξ-υμῶν-επὶ-τῆς-γῆς-περὶ-παντὸς-πράγματος-οῦ-εὰν-αιτήσωνται-,-γενήσεται-αυτοῖς-παρὰ-τοῦ-πατρός-μου-τοῦ-εν-ουρανοῖς-.-
20	For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
	οῦ-γάρ-εισιν-δύο-ὴ-τρεῖς-συνηγμένοι-εις-τὸ-εμὸν-όνομα-,-εκεῖ-ειμι-εν-μέσω-αυτῶν-.-
21	Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
	Τότε-προσελθὼν-ο-Πέτρος-εῖπεν-αυτῶ-,-Κύριε-,-ποσάκις-αμαρτήσει-εις-εμὲ-ο-αδελφός-μου-καὶ-αφήσω-αυτῶ-;-έως-επτάκις-;-
22	Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
	λέγει-αυτῶ-ο-Ιησοῦς-,-Ου-λέγω-σοι-έως-επτάκις-αλλὰ-έως-εβδομηκοντάκις-επτά-.-
23	Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
	Διὰ-τοῦτο-ωμοιώθη-η-βασιλεία-τῶν-ουρανῶν-ανθρώπω-βασιλεῖ-ὸς-ηθέλησεν-συνᾶραι-λόγον-μετὰ-τῶν-δούλων-αυτοῦ-.-
24	And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
	αρξαμένου-δὲ-αυτοῦ-συναίρειν-προσηνέχθη-αυτῶ-εῖς-οφειλέτης-μυρίων-ταλάντων-.-
25	But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made.
	μὴ-έχοντος-δὲ-αυτοῦ-αποδοῦναι-εκέλευσεν-αυτὸν-ο-κύριος-πραθῆναι-καὶ-τὴν-γυναῖκα-καὶ-τὰ-τέκνα-καὶ-πάντα-όσα-έχει-,-καὶ-αποδοθῆναι-.-
26	The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’
	πεσὼν-οῦν-ο-δοῦλος-προσεκύνει-αυτῶ-λέγων-,-Μακροθύμησον-επ᾿-εμοί-,-καὶ-πάντα-αποδώσω-σοι-.-
27	Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
	σπλαγχνισθεὶς-δὲ-ο-κύριος-τοῦ-δούλου-εκείνου-απέλυσεν-αυτόν-,-καὶ-τὸ-δάνειον-αφῆκεν-αυτῶ-.-
28	“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
	εξελθὼν-δὲ-ο-δοῦλος-εκεῖνος-εῦρεν-ένα-τῶν-συνδούλων-αυτοῦ-ὸς-ώφειλεν-αυτῶ-εκατὸν-δηνάρια-,-καὶ-κρατήσας-αυτὸν-έπνιγεν-λέγων-,-Απόδος-εί-τι-οφείλεις-.-
29	So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’
	πεσὼν-οῦν-ο-σύνδουλος-αυτοῦ-παρεκάλει-αυτὸν-λέγων-,-Μακροθύμησον-επ᾿-εμοί-,-καὶ-αποδώσω-σοι-.-
30	And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt.
	ο-δὲ-ουκ-ήθελεν-,-αλλὰ-απελθὼν-έβαλεν-αυτὸν-εις-φυλακὴν-έως-αποδῶ-τὸ-οφειλόμενον-.-
31	So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done.
	ιδόντες-οῦν-οι-σύνδουλοι-αυτοῦ-τὰ-γενόμενα-ελυπήθησαν-σφόδρα-,-καὶ-ελθόντες-διεσάφησαν-τῶ-κυρίω-εαυτῶν-πάντα-τὰ-γενόμενα-.-
32	Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
	τότε-προσκαλεσάμενος-αυτὸν-ο-κύριος-αυτοῦ-λέγει-αυτῶ-,-Δοῦλε-πονηρέ-,-πᾶσαν-τὴν-οφειλὴν-εκείνην-αφῆκά-σοι-,-επεὶ-παρεκάλεσάς-με-·-
33	Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’
	ουκ-έδει-καὶ-σὲ-ελεῆσαι-τὸν-σύνδουλόν-σου-,-ως-καγὼ-σὲ-ηλέησα-;-
34	And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.
	καὶ-οργισθεὶς-ο-κύριος-αυτοῦ-παρέδωκεν-αυτὸν-τοῖς-βασανισταῖς-έως-οῦ-αποδῶ-πᾶν-τὸ-οφειλόμενον-.-
35	“So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”
	Ούτως-καὶ-ο-πατήρ-μου-ο-ουράνιος-ποιήσει-υμῖν-εὰν-μὴ-αφῆτε-έκαστος-τῶ-αδελφῶ-αυτοῦ-απὸ-τῶν-καρδιῶν-υμῶν-.-
