Kas ir lelōks dabasu vaļsteibā.
1 Tamā pošā stuņdē pīgōja pi Jezus mōcekli un vaicōja: Kas gon byus pats lelōkais dabasu vaļsteibā? 2 Jys, atsaucis klōt bārnu, nūvītōjis tū jūs vydā, 3 saceja: Patīši, Es jums soku, jo jyus naizalobōsit un natopsit kai bārni, dabasu vaļsteibā naīīsit. 4 Kurs pasazamōs tai, kai šytys bārns, tys ir tys pats lelōkais dabasu vaļsteibā. 5 Tai tad, kas munā vōrdā pījam vīnu šytaidu bārnu, tys Mani pījam. 6 Bet kas vīnu nu tim mozeņajim, kuri tic ikš Manis, īļaunōtu, tam byutu lobōk, jo jam pakōrtu koklā dzērnovu akmini, un jū īmastu jyuras dziļumā.
Īļaunōšonas.
7 Bāda pasauļam īļaunōšonu dēļ. Īļaunōšonom gon jōnōk, bet bāda tam cylvākam, caur kuru tōs nōk! 8 Jo tova rūka vai kōja tevi īļaunoj, cērt tū nūst un svīd prūjom nu sevis. Tev byus lobōk, jo tu klybs vai bez rūkas īīsi dzeivē, kai, turūt obejas rūkas un obejas kōjas, topsi īmasts myužeigajā gunī. 9 Jo tova acs tevi īļaunoj, izraun jū un svīd prūjom nu sevis. Tev byus lobōk, jo tu īīsi dzeivē ar vīnu aci, kai, turūt obejas acis, topsi īmasts eļnes gunī.
Dīva žālsirdeiba.
10 Sorgitēs, ka nanycynōtu nivīna nu šim mozajim; jo Es jums soku: ka jūs eņgeli dabasūs vysod redz muna dabasu Tāva vaigu. 11 (Cylvāka Dāls tadei ir nōcis izpesteit tūs, kas gōja zudumā.)
12 Kai jums līkās? Jo cylvākam, kam ir symts vušku, un vīna nu tom aizamaļdeitu, vai tad jys napamastu kolnūs tōs deveņdesmit deveņas un naītu aizamaļdejušōs maklātu? 13 Un jo tū atrostu, tad, patīši jums soku, jam byutu lelōka prīca nu tōs vīnas kai nu naaizamaļdejušajom deveņdesmit deveņom. 14 Tai pat ari jyusu dabasu Tāvs nagrib, ka kaids nu šim mozajim pazustu.
Pōrsorgōšona.
15 Un jo tovs brōļs pret tevi sagrākoj, ej un pōrsorgoj jū tikai jyusu diveju klōtbyutnē. Jo jys paklauseis, esi sovu brōli īgivis. 16 Jo tevis napaklauseis, tad pajem leidza ar sevi vēļ vīnu vai divejus, lai vyss tyktu nūkōrtōts caur diveju vai treju līcinīku vōrdu. 17 Jo ari tūs napaklauseitu, pasok Bazneicai. Jo ari Bazneicas napaklauseitu, lai tad byus tev taids, kai pogōns un muitinīks.
18 Patīši, Es jums soku, kū sasīsit vērs zemes, tys byus sasīts ari dabasūs; un kū izraiseisit vērs zemes, tys byus izraiseits ari dabasūs.
19 Otkon soku jums, jo divi nu jums vērs zemes vīnprōteigi lyugs kaut kō, tū jim muns debeseigais Tāvs pīškērs. 20 Jo kur divi vai trejs munā vōrdā ir sagōjuši, Tur Es asmu jūs vydā.
Ļaunais kolps.
21 Tad, pīgōjis pi Jō, Pīters vaicōja: Kungs, cik reižu ir jōatlaiž sovam brōļam, kad jys mani byus apvaiņōjis? Vai leidz septeņom reizem? 22 Jezus tam atbiļdēja: Es tev nasoku: leidz septeņom, bet leidz septeņdesmit reižu septeņom.
23 Tōpēc dabasu vaļsteiba ir pīleidzynojama cylvākam kēneņam, kurs gribēja nūsarēkinōt ar sovim koļpim. 24 Ka jys īsōce vest nūrēkinu, atvede pi jō vīnu (porōdnīku), kurs beja jam desmit tyukstūšu talentu porōdā. 25 Un, ka jam nabeja nu kō samoksōt, kungs pavēlēja pōrdūt jū pati, jō sīvu, jō bārnus un vysu, kas vīn jam beja un samoksōt. 26 Kolps, pakritis pi jō kōjom, lyudze saceidams: Kungs, esi maņ pacīteigs, un tev vysu samoksōšu. 27 Kungs apsažālōja par tū kolpu un jū palaide, un atlaide tū, kū jys beja porōdā.
28 Bet tys kolps, izgōjis ōrā, īraudzeja vīnu nu sovim bīdrim, kas jam beja porōdā symts denaru. Un sakēris tū, žņaudze, saceidams: Samoksoj maņ porōdu. 29 Bīdris, pakritis pi jō kōjom, lyudzēs: Esi maņ pacīteigs, un es tev samoksōšu (vysu). 30 Tūmār jys nagribēja, bet nūgōjis lyka tū īmest cītumā, koleidz samoksōs porōdu. 31 Tū radzādami, citi koļpi ļūti nūskuma un aizgōjuši pastōsteja sovam kungam vysu, kas beja nūticis. 32 Tad kungs lyka pasaukt jū pi sevis un jam saceja: Ļaunais kolps, es tev atlaižu vysu, kū vīn beji porōdā, jo manis lyudzi. 33 Vai gon tev nabeja jōapsažāloj par sovu bīdri, kai es par tevi apsažālōju? 34 Kungs aizadusmōjis, atdeve jū bendem, koleidz nasamoksōs vysa, kū vīn jam beja vaineigs.
35 Tai pat ari muns dabasu Tāvs padareis jums, jo jyus nu sirds naatlaissit sovam brōļam.
Who Is the Greatest?
(Mark 9.33-37Luke 9.46-48)1 About this time the disciples came to Jesus and asked him who would be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 2 Jesus called for a child to come over and stand near him. 3 Then he said:
I promise you this. If you don't change and become like a child, you will never get into the kingdom of heaven. 4 But if you are as humble as this child, you are the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And when you welcome one of these children because of me, you welcome me.
Temptations To Sin
(Mark 9.42-48Luke 17.1Luke 2)6 It will be terrible for people who cause even one of my little followers to sin. Those people would be better off thrown into the deepest part of the ocean with a heavy stone tied around their necks! 7 The world is in for trouble because of the way it causes people to sin. There will always be something to cause people to sin, but anyone who does this will be in for trouble.
8 If your hand or foot causes you to sin, chop it off and throw it away! You would be better off to go into life paralyzed or lame than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into the fire that never goes out. 9 If your eye causes you to sin, poke it out and get rid of it. You would be better off to go into life with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fires of hell.
The Lost Sheep
(Luke 15.3-7)10-11 Don't be cruel to any of these little ones! I promise you their angels are always with my Father in heaven. 12 Let me ask you this. What would you do if you had 100 sheep and one of them wandered off? Wouldn't you leave the 99 on the hillside and go look for the one that had wandered away? 13 I am sure that finding it would make you happier than having the 99 that never wandered off. 14 That's how it is with your Father in heaven. He doesn't want any of these little ones to be lost.
When Someone Sins
(Luke 17.3)15 If one of my followers sins against you, go and point out what was wrong. But do it in private, just between the two of you. If that person listens, you have won back a follower. 16 But if that one refuses to listen, take along one or two others. The Scriptures teach that every complaint must be proven true by two or more witnesses. 17 If the follower refuses to listen to them, report the matter to the church. Anyone who refuses to listen to the church must be treated like an unbeliever or a tax collector.
Allowing and Not Allowing
18 I promise you God in heaven will allow whatever you allow on earth, but God will not allow anything you don't allow. 19 I promise that when any two of you on earth agree about something you are praying for, my Father in heaven will do it for you. 20 Whenever two or three of you come together in my name, I am there with you.
An Official Who Refused To Forgive
21 Peter came up to the Lord and asked, “How many times should I forgive someone who does something wrong to me? Is seven times enough?”
22 Jesus answered:
Not just 7 times, but 77 times! 23 This story will show you what the kingdom of heaven is like:
One day a king decided to call in his officials and ask them to give an account of what they owed him. 24 As he was doing this, one official was brought in who owed him 50,000,000 silver coins. 25 But he didn't have any money to pay what he owed. The king ordered him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all he owned, in order to pay the debt.
26 The official got down on his knees and began begging, “Have pity on me, and I will pay you every cent I owe!” 27 The king felt sorry for him and let him go free. He even told the official that he did not have to pay back the money.
28 But as this official was leaving, he happened to meet another official, who owed him 100 silver coins. So he grabbed the man by the throat. He started choking him and said, “Pay me what you owe!”
29 The man got down on his knees and began begging, “Have pity on me, and I will pay you back.” 30 But the first official refused to have pity. Instead, he went and had the other official put in jail until he could pay what he owed.
31 When some other officials found out what had happened, they felt sorry for the man who had been put in jail. Then they told the king what had happened. 32 The king called the first official back in and said, “You're an evil man! When you begged for mercy, I said you did not have to pay back a cent. 33 Don't you think you should show pity to someone else, as I did to you?” 34 The king was so angry that he ordered the official to be tortured until he could pay back everything he owed. 35 That is how my Father in heaven will treat you, if you don't forgive each of my followers with all your heart.
