馬太福音 18
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
誰是更大的
18 那時，門徒們前來問耶穌：「在天國裡究竟誰更大？」
2 耶穌叫來一個小孩子，讓他站在他們當中， 3 說：「我確實地告訴你們：你們如果不回轉[a]，變得像小孩子一樣，絕不能進入天國。 4 所以，誰像這小孩子自我降卑，誰在天國裡就更大。 5 無論誰奉我的名接受這樣一個小孩子，就是接受我。
6 「但無論誰使信我的這些卑微人中的一個絆倒，對那人來說，倒不如脖子上被拴上大磨石[b]，沉到深海裡。 7 這世界有禍了，因為有使人絆腳的事；要知道，那些使人絆腳的事必然出現，不過使它出現的人有禍了。 8 如果你的一隻手或一隻腳使你絆倒，就把它砍下來丟掉！對你來說，缺一隻手或缺一隻腳進入永生[c]，要比手腳雙全被丟進永遠的火裡好多了。 9 如果你的一隻眼使你絆倒，就把它剜出來丟掉！對你來說，缺一隻眼進入永生[d]，要比雙眼齊全被丟進烈火的地獄裡好多了。
迷羊的比喻
10 「你們要注意，不可輕視這些卑微人中的一個。我告訴你們：他們的天使在天上常常看見我天父的面。 11 要知道人子來，是為了拯救迷失的人。[e] 12 你們怎麼看以下的事？如果一個人有一百隻羊，其中一隻迷失了，難道他不把九十九隻留在山上，去尋找那一隻迷失的嗎？ 13 如果找到了，我確實地告訴你們：他為這一隻羊歡喜，會比為那九十九隻沒有迷失的羊更歡喜。 14 照樣，你們[f]在天上的父也不願意失去這些卑微人中的一個。
挽回弟兄
15 「如果你的弟兄對你[g]犯了罪，你就要去，只在你和他之間責備他。如果他聽你的，你就贏得了你的弟兄； 16 如果他不聽，你就另外帶一個或兩個人一起去，為要使「任何事，憑兩個或三個見證人的口，才能成立。」[h] 17 如果他不聽他們的，就告訴教會；如果他連教會也不聽，就應當把他看做像外邦人或稅吏一樣。 18 我確實地告訴你們：你們在地上所捆綁的，在天上將是已經被捆綁了的；你們在地上所釋放的，在天上將是被釋放了的。 19 我再確實地告訴你們：如果你們當中有兩個人，在地上同心地為任何事祈求，我在天上的父就會為你們成全； 20 因為哪裡有兩三個人奉我的名聚集，我就在哪裡，在他們當中。」
惡僕的比喻
21 那時，彼得前來問耶穌：「主啊，如果弟兄對我犯罪，我該饒恕多少次呢？到七次可以嗎？」
22 耶穌對他說：「我告訴你：不是七次，而是七十個七次[i]。 23 為此，天國就好比一個君王，要與他的奴僕們清算帳目。 24 他開始算的時候，一個欠了一千萬兩銀子[j]的奴僕被帶到他面前。 25 因為那奴僕沒有可償還的，主人就下令把他和他的妻子兒女，以及他所擁有的一切都賣掉來償還。
26 「那奴僕就俯伏拜他，說：『[k]請寬容我吧，將來我會把一切償還給你。』 27 那奴僕的主人動了憐憫之心，把他釋放了，並且免了他的債。
28 「但那奴僕出去以後，遇見一個與他同做奴僕的；這人欠他一百個銀幣[l]。他就抓住這人，掐住這人的喉嚨，說：『把欠我的還給我。』
29 「這人就俯伏在地[m]央求他，說：『請寬容我吧，我會還給你的。』 30 可是他不肯，反而把這人投進監獄，直到這人能還清所欠的債。 31 那些與他同做奴僕的看見所發生的事，就極其憂傷，去把一切都告訴他們的主人。
32 「於是主人把那奴僕叫來，對他說：『你這惡奴！因為你求我，我就免了你所有的債。 33 難道你不也該憐憫與你同做奴僕的，像我憐憫了你一樣嗎？』 34 主人就發怒，把他交給掌刑官，直到他能還清所欠的一切債。 35 如果你們每個人不從心裡饒恕自己的弟兄[n]，我的天父也會照樣對待你們。」

馬太福音 18
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
天國裡誰最偉大
18 這時，門徒上前來，問耶穌：「在天國誰最偉大？」
2 耶穌叫了一個小孩子來站在他們當中，然後說： 3 「我實在告訴你們，你們若不變得像小孩子那樣，絕不能進天國。 4 所以，凡像這小孩子一樣謙卑的人，在天國才是最偉大的。
5 「任何人為了我的名而接待這樣一個小孩子，就是接待了我。 6 但不論誰使這樣一個小信徒失足犯罪，他的下場比把大磨石拴在他脖子上沉到深海裡還要慘。 7 這世界有禍了！因為裡面充滿了引人犯罪的事。這樣的事是免不了的，但那些引人犯罪的人有禍了！
8 「如果你的手或腳使你犯罪，就砍掉它！因為肢體殘缺著進入永生，總比四肢健全卻被丟進永遠不滅的火中好。 9 如果你的一隻眼睛使你犯罪，就剜出來丟掉它吧！獨眼進入永生，總比雙目健全卻被丟進地獄的火中好。 10 你們切不可輕視任何一位卑微的人。我告訴你們，他們的天使在天上常見我天父的面。
迷失的羊
11 「人子到世界來，為要拯救迷失的人。 12 如果一個人有一百隻羊，其中有一隻走迷了路，他會怎麼辦呢？難道不會把那九十九隻撇在山上，去找那隻迷失的羊嗎？ 13 我實在告訴你們，如果找到了，他會非常歡喜，甚至比有那九十九隻沒有迷失的羊還歡喜。 14 同樣，你們的天父也不願任何一個卑微的人失喪。
糾正信徒的過錯
15 「如果你的弟兄得罪了你，你要找個機會跟他單獨在一起，指出他的錯處。如果他肯接受勸告，你就得了一位弟兄。 16 如果他不聽勸告，你就帶一兩位弟兄去見他，讓兩三個人為談話作證。 17 如果他仍然不聽，就應當告訴教會。如果他連教會也不聽，就把他看作異教徒或稅吏[a]。 18 我實在告訴你們，你們在地上捆綁的，在天上也要捆綁；你們在地上釋放的，在天上也要釋放。
19 「我又告訴你們，如果你們當中有兩個人在地上同心合意地祈求，不論求什麼，我天上的父必為你們成就。 20 因為哪裡有兩三個人奉我的名聚會，我就在哪裡與他們同在。」
七十個七次
21 彼得上前問耶穌：「主啊，如果我的弟兄得罪了我，我該饒恕他多少次呢？七次夠了吧？」
22 耶穌回答說：「我告訴你，不是七次，是七十個七次。
23 「因此，天國就像一個王，他要跟奴僕清算債務。 24 正開始清算的時候，有人帶著一個欠了六千萬銀幣[b]的人進來。 25 因為這個人無法清還債款，王就下令把他及其妻兒和所有財產全部賣掉還債。 26 那奴僕跪在王面前乞求說，『請寬容我，我會把債務全部還清的。』 27 王可憐他，不但釋放了他，而且免了他全部的債。
28 「可是，那奴僕出去後，遇見一位欠他一百個銀幣[c]的同伴，就揪住同伴，掐著他的喉嚨說，『還我錢！』 29 同伴跪下哀求道，『請寬容我，我會還你的。』
30 「那奴僕卻不肯，竟把同伴送進監獄，直到他還清債務為止。 31 其他的奴僕目睹這一切，都憤憤不平，把這件事告訴了王。
32 「於是，王把那奴僕召來，說，『你這可惡的奴才！你哀求我，我就免了你所有的債。 33 難道你不應該憐憫你的同伴，就像我憐憫你一樣嗎？』 34 王大怒，下令把他交給獄卒受刑，直到他還清全部的債務。 35 如果你們不從心裡饒恕自己的弟兄，我的天父也要這樣對待你們。」
Mattityahu 18
Orthodox Jewish Bible
18 At that time, the talmidim approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach with this she’elah saying, Who then is greatest in the Malchut HaShomayim?
2 And having called a yeled to himself, he set him before them,
3 and said, Omein, I say to you, unless you change inwardly and have a complete turn around and become like yeladim, you shall never enter the Malchut HaShomayim.
4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this yeled, he is the greatest in the Malchut HaShomayim.
5 And whoever receives one such yeled in my Name receives me [Moshiach].
6 But whoever causes a michshol (stumbling block) for one of these little ones, who have emunah in me, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Oy lOlam (Woe to the World) because of its michsholim (stumbling blocks)! For it is inevitable that michsholim come; but oy to that man through whom the michshol comes.
8 And if your hand or your foot causes a michshol for you, cut it off, and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter Chayyim crippled or as one of the pisechim (lame), than, having two hands and two feet, to be cast into the Eish Olam (Eternal Fire).
9 And if your eye causes a michshol for you, pluck it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter Chayyim one-eyed than, having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehinnom HaEish.
10 See to it that you do not look down on one of these little ones, for I say to you that their malachim which are in Shomayim continually behold the face of Avi shbaShomayim (my Father who is in Heaven).
11 For the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach] came to save that which was lost.
12 What do you think? If any man owns a hundred kevesim (sheep) and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the hillsides and go and search for the one that is straying?
13 And if it turns out that he finds it, beemes I say to you, he has more simcha (joy) over it than over the ninetynine which have not gone astray.
14 Thus it is not the ratzon Hashem, the will of your Av shbaShomayim, that one of these little ones perish.
15 And if your Ach b’Moshiach sins against you, go and reprove him in private, just between the two of you; if he listens to you, you have gained your Ach b’Moshiach.
16 But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more Achim b’Moshiach with you, so that by the PI SHNAYIM SHLOSHAH EDIM (by the mouth of two or three witnesses, DEVARIM 19:15) every word shall be established.
17 But if he refuses to listen to them, speak to the shtiebel kehillah, and if he even refuses to hear the kehillah, let him be to you as the Goy (heathen, pagan) and the moches (tax-collector).
18 Omein, I say to you, whatever you bind as asur (prohibited) on haaretz will have been bound in Shomayim, and whatever you permit as mutar on haaretz is mutar (permitted) in Shomayim.
19 Again, omein, I say to you, that if two of you will be in agreement about anything on haaretz that you petition for, it will be done for them by Avi shbaShomayim.
20 For where two or three are gathered as a Chavurah and are a Kehillah in my name [Moshiach], there I am in the midst of them.
21 Then, having approached, Kefa said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach: Adoni, how often will my brother sin against me and I will grant to him selicha (forgiveness)? As many as shevah (seven) times?
22 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to Kefa, I do not say to you as many as shevah, but as many as shivim (seventy) times shevah.
23 Therefore, the Malchut HaShomayim is like a melech, a king, who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
24 And having begun to settle accounts, a debtor owing ten thousand talents was brought to the melech.
25 And, as this debtor did not have the means to pay what was owed his adon, the king commanded that he and his wife and children and everything he possessed be sold and the debt repaid.
26 Therefore, crying out for rachamim (mercy) and falling down before him, the servant said, Have zitzfleisch (patience) with me and I will pay back to you everything!
27 And out of rachamanut (compassion), the adon of that servant pardoned him and forgave the choiv (debt).
28 Then the debtor went out and found one of the other fellow servants who happened to owe the debtor one hundred denarii. And seizing and choking the servant, the debtor said, Repay what you owe me!
29 And, falling down, the servant said to the debtor, Have zitzfleisch (patience) with me and I will repay you.
30 But the debtor was not willing. Then the debtor went and threw the servant into the beit hasohar (prison) until he should repay the debt.
31 Therefore, when the man’s fellow servants saw what had taken place, great was their agmat nefesh (grief), and they went and reported to their adon all that had taken place.
32 Then having summoned the debtor, his adon said to him, Wicked servant, all that choiv (debt) I forgave you, because you begged me.
33 Was it not necessary also for you to have rachamim (mercy) upon your fellow servant?
34 And in charon af (wrath), his adon handed the debtor over to the keepers of the beit hasohar until the debtor should repay the entire choiv (debt).
35 Thus also Avi shbaShomayim will do to you, unless you grant selicha (forgiveness), each one to his brother from your lev (heart).
