Matiyu 18

1 Nanya kubi kurume nono katwa me da kitin Yisa iworo ghe, “Ghari udiawe nanya kipin tigo Kutellẹ?”

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 Yisa yicila gono kibene adak kitime, ayisa ghe kiyitik mine,

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst 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, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not 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.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 Nin ullenge na asere nkang gono kibene nan nya lisa nighe, asere mereku.

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth 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 whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Kash udu uyi bara kubin ntirzuari! bara uso doleari kubi kone ba dak bara ame!

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

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)

Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)

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)

And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)

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.

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

11 Bara gono nnit na dak ada tucu nalenge na ina wulu.

For the Son of man is come 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?

How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is 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.

And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that [sheep], than of the ninety and nine which went not 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 which 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.

Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy 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 will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in 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.

And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

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.

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed 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 I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which 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 am I in the midst 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 came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22 Yisa bellinghe, “Nna meng na bellinfi udu kuzor ba, uduru akalt kuzorii sau kuzor.

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, 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 is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

24 Kubi ka na awa acizina kibatize, ida nin nkon kucin me ulle na ame din dortughe titalent amui likure.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which 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 forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and 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 worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

27 Nin nani, Cikilari kucine, atinna alanza nkunekune me, bunkun ghe, shawan nin nre me.

Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed 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 the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

29 Ame udone licinne dio kutyin, adi fo ghe nacara aworo, 'Ta ayi ashau nin mi nba biufi.'

And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

30 Ame kucin nburne nari, nin nani, ayiraghe atoghe licin, udu kubi ko na aba biughe ule imon na adin dortu ghe.

And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

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 fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

32 Cikilari kucin kone yicila ghe, a bellinghe, 'Fe vat bara uwa sui kuculu.

Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

33 Na fe nwasa ulanza nkunekune ndofine kucine ba? Nafo na meng na lanza nkunekune fe?'

Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

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.

And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto 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 likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
