15
Προσέφερον δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ τὰ βρέφη ἵνα αὐτῶν ἅπτηται· ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ ⸀ἐπετίμων αὐτοῖς.
Gli presentavano anche i bambini piccoli perché li toccasse, ma i discepoli, vedendo ciò, li rimproveravano.
They were bringingⓘ to him even the little childrenⓘ so that he might touchⓘ them; the disciplesⓘ were rebukingⓘ them.
16
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ⸂προσεκαλέσατο αὐτὰ λέγων⸃· Ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά, τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ.
Allora Gesù li chiamò a sé dicendo: «Lasciate che i bambini vengano a me e non glielo impedite; a chi è come loro, infatti, appartiene il regno di Dio.
But Jesus calledⓘ them to himself, saying: «Let the children come to me, and do not hinder themⓘ: for to those like themⓘ belongs the kingdom of Godⓘ.
17
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ⸀ἂν μὴ δέξηται τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν.
In verità io vi dico: chi non accoglie il regno di Dio come un bambino, non entrerà in esso».
Amen, I say to youⓘ: whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a childⓘ shall not enter it at allⓘ».
