Vangelo secondo Matteo 18

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 In illa hora accesserunt di scipuli ad Iesum dicentes: “ Quis putasmaior est in regno caelorum? ”.	1 At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?
2 Et advocans parvulum, statuit eum in medioeorum	2 And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,
3 et dixit: “ Amen dico vobis: Nisi conversi fueritis et efiiciaminisicut parvuli, non intrabitis in regnum caelorum.	3 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.
4 Quicumque ergo humiliaveritse sicut parvulus iste, hic est maior in regno caelorum.	4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Et, qui susceperitunum parvulum talem in nomine meo, me suscipit.	5 And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
6 Qui autem scandalizaverit unum de pusillis istis, qui in me credunt, expeditei, ut suspendatur mola asinaria in collo eius et demergatur in profundum maris.	6 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.
7 Vae mundo ab scandalis! Necesse est enim ut veniant scandala; verumtamen vaehomini, per quem scandalum venit!	7 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.
8 Si autem manus tua vel pes tuus scandalizat te, abscide eum et proice abs te:bonum tibi est ad vitam ingredi debilem vel claudum, quam duas manus vel duospedes habentem mitti in ignem aeternum.	8 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.
9 Et si oculus tuus scandalizat te, erueeum et proice abs te: bonum tibi est unoculum in vitam intrare, quam duos oculoshabentem mitti in gehennam ignis.	9 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.
10 Videte, ne contemnatis unum ex his pusillis; dico enim vobis quia angelieorum in caelis semper vident faciem Patris mei, qui in caelis est.	10 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.
11	11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
12 Quid vobis videtur? Sifuerint alicui centum oves, et erraverit una ex eis, nonne relinquet nonagintanovem in montibus et vadit quaerere eam, quae erravit?	12 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 go to seek that which is gone astray?
13 Et si contigerit utinveniat eam, amen dico vobis quia gaudebit super eam magis quam super nonagintanovem, quae non erraverunt.	13 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.
14 Sic non est voluntas ante Patrem vestrum, qui incaelis est, ut pereat unus de pusillis istis.	14 Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Si autem peccaverit in te frater tuus, vade, corripe eum inter te et ipsumsolum. Si te audierit, lucratus es fratrem tuum;	15 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.
16 si autem non audierit,adhibe tecum adhuc unum vel duos, ut in ore duorum testium vel trium stet omneverbum;	16 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.
17 quod si noluerit audire eos, dic ecclesiae; si autem et ecclesiamnoluerit audire, sit tibi sicut ethnicus et publicanus.	17 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.
18 Amen dico vobis:Quaecumque alligaveritis super terram, erunt ligata in caelo; et, quaecumquesolveritis super terram, erunt soluta in caelo.	18 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.
19 Iterum dico vobis: Si duo ex vobis consenserint super terram de omni re,quamcumque petierint, fiet illis a Patre meo, qui in caelis est.	19 Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning any thing whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven.
20 Ubi enimsunt duo vel tres congregati in nomine meo, ibi sum in medio eorum ”.	20 For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21 Tunc accedens Petrus dixit ei: “ Domine, quotiens peccabit in me fratermeus, et dimittam ei? Usque septies? ”.	21 Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Dicit illi Iesus: “ Non dico tibiusque septies sed usque septuagies septies.	22 Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.
23 Ideo assimilatum est regnum caelorum homini regi, qui voluit rationem ponerecum servis suis.	23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.
24 Et cum coepisset rationem ponere, oblatus est ei unus, quidebebat decem milia talenta.	24 And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
25 Cum autem non haberet, unde redderet, iussit eumdominus venumdari et uxorem et filios et omnia, quae habebat, et reddi.	25 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.
26 Procidens igitur servus ille adorabat eum dicens: “Patientiam habe in me, etomnia reddam tibi”.	26 But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Misertus autem dominus servi illius dimisit eum etdebitum dimisit ei.	27 And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.
28 Egressus autem servus ille invenit unum de conservissuis, qui debebat ei centum denarios, et tenens suffocabat eum dicens: “Redde,quod debes!”.	28 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, throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.
29 Procidens igitur conservus eius rogabat eum dicens: “Patientiamhabe in me, et reddam tibi”.	29 And his fellow servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 Ille autem noluit, sed abiit et misit eum incarcerem, donec redderet debitum.	30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.
31 Videntes autem conservi eius, quae fiebant, contristati sunt valde etvenerunt et narraverunt domino suo omnia, quae facta erant.	31 Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came and told their lord all that was done.
32 Tunc vocavitillum dominus suus et ait illi: “Serve nequam, omne debitum illud dimisi tibi,quoniam rogasti me;	32 Then his lord called him; and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:
33 non oportuit et te misereri conservi tui, sicut et egotui misertus sum?”.	33 Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?
34 Et iratus dominus eius tradidit eum tortoribus,quoadusque redderet universum debitum.	34 And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.
35 Sic et Pater meus caelestis facietvobis, si non remiseritis unusquisque fratri suo de cordibus vestris ”.	35 So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
