Matiyu 18
1 Nanya kubi kurume nono katwa me da kitin Yisa iworo ghe, “Ghari udiawe nanya kipin tigo Kutellẹ?”
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
2 Yisa yicila gono kibene adak kitime, ayisa ghe kiyitik mine,
Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
3 anin woro, “Kidegene ndin belle munu se anung nsuna alapi mine iso nafo nono nibebene, anung ghe nan nya nkolome libau na iwasa ise upiru kipin tigo Kutellẹ ba.
and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 Bara nani vat ulle na a toltuno litime nafo gono, kibene kane unit une amere udiawe nan nya kipin tigo Kutellẹ.
Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
5 Nin ullenge na asere nkang gono kibene nan nya lisa nighe, asere mereku.
Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
6 Vat nle na ata warum nan nya nibebene nane na iyinna nin mi, ita kulapi, uba katinghe iyaun litala lidia iterighe nto, inin turunghe nan nya kuli kudia kiti kicacam.
but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
7 Kash udu uyi bara kubin ntirzuari! bara uso doleari kubi kone ba dak bara ame!
“Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
8 Assa ucara sa kubunu fe, bba tifi utiro, werne unin ufilig pit kitife, uba katinfi usee ulai nin kagiisin kidowo, ninworu itufi nan nya nla so ligan uyiita nin ncara sa abunu fe vat. (aiōnios g166)
If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the consummate (aiōnios g166) fire.
9 Assa iyizife bba tiifi utiro, herina linin ufilin kitife, uba katinfi use ulaii nin liyizi lirum, nin woru itufi nan nya nla sa ligun nin niiyizi fe ib. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, 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 the Gehenna (Geenna g1067) of fire.
10 Yenjen na iwa yassu warum nan nya kitene kane nono kadura Kutellẹ mine ko kome kubi idi nyenju nmoru ncif nighe ulle na adi kitene kani.
See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
11 Bara gono nnit na dak ada tucu nalenge na ina wulu.
For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
12 Iyaghari idi nkpilize? Asa umon unit dinin nakam akalt likure, kurum nanye nwulu, na aba cinu akalt likure udiru kuurume kitene kikup adi piziru kone na kuna wulu ba?
“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does not he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
13 Andi ase kunin, kidegen ndi nbellu munu, liburi libo me kitene kukam kurume bba katinu nin gbardang kitene nakam akalt likure udiru kurum na kuna wulu ba.
If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
14 Nan nya nanere, na usun Ncif mine allenge nadi kutenit kane warum nan nya nibebene nai nanna ba.
Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Asa gwana fine ntafi kulapi, durso ghe utanu me, anung ligan mine, cas, asa a lanza fi, utuucu gwana fine.
“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
16 Andi na a lanzafi ba, yira nuwa na fine unit kiti nwanana urum sa anwaba ido kitime bara iyizi nawaba sa awaatat sa ko lome lugbulang base uyisinu.
But if he does not listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 Asa anari ulanza nanan dortu Yisa, awa nari ulanzu nanan dortu Yisa, na ame so kitife nnafo kulumai sa unan sesen ngandu.
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
18 Kidegene re ndin bellu minu, vat nile imon na itere nan nya nnye, iba teru kitene kane, nin vat nile imon na ibunku nnye nanere iba bunku kitene kane.
Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
19 Ukpiine ku ndi bellu munu asa an wada nwa yinin nin nimon ule na iba tirrinu menku nan nya nnyi ucif nighe ulle na adi kitene kane bba su nani mun.
Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
20 Bara kiti ka na awaba sa an watat nzuro nan nya lisa nigh, ndi nanghinu.”
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
21 Nin nani Bitrus da ada belle Yisa ku, “Cikilari, udu timashinari gwana nighba sui kulapi meng shawa muna? udu so kuzora?”
Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
22 Yisa bellinghe, “Nna meng na bellinfi udu kuzor ba, uduru akalt kuzorii sau kuzor.
Jesus said to him, “I do not tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
23 Bara nani, kipin tigo Kutellẹ di nafo umon ugo, na awa dinin su asu kibatiza nan nacin me.
Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Kubi ka na awa acizina kibatize, ida nin nkon kucin me ulle na ame din dortughe titalent amui likure.
When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 Bara na awa idinin libau nbiuwe ba, Cikilari me na uduka idi lewuughe nin nwane a none umunu vat nile iimon na adumun, ida biyaghe.
But because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 Ame kucine dio kutyin, atumuno nbuun me aworo, 'Ccikilari, tursui limuri meng ba biyufi imonẹ vat.'
The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
27 Nin nani, Cikilari kucine, atinna alanza nkunekune me, bunkun ghe, shawan nin nre me.
The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
28 Ame kucin kone nuzu ase umon udone licin me ulle na ame din dortu ghe idinari likalt akifo ghe kusholshok, a woroghe, 'Blayi imon ile na ndi ndortu fi.'
“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
29 Ame udone licinne dio kutyin, adi fo ghe nacara aworo, 'Ta ayi ashau nin mi nba biufi.'
“So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
30 Ame kucin nburne nari, nin nani, ayiraghe atoghe licin, udu kubi ko na aba biughe ule imon na adin dortu ghe.
He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
31 Kubii na adone licin nyene ile imon na asu, ayi mine nana. Ida idi belle Cikilari mine vat nile imon na asu.
So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
32 Cikilari kucin kone yicila ghe, a bellinghe, 'Fe vat bara uwa sui kuculu.
Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
33 Na fe nwasa ulanza nkunekune ndofine kucine ba? Nafo na meng na lanza nkunekune fe?'
Should not you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
34 Cikilarri me wa nanna ayi ninghe, a nakpa ghe nacara nanan nfo nanit udu kubi ko na aba biu imon ile na idi ndortu ghe.
His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 Nanere wang ucif nighe kitene kani, ba su anunku, asa na anug ba shawa nin nalapi nuana nan nya nibinai mine ba.
So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
