Matiyu 18
1 Nanya kubi kurume nono katwa me da kitin Yisa iworo ghe, “Ghari udiawe nanya kipin tigo Kutellẹ?”
In that hour came, the disciples unto Jesus, saying—Who then is, greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens?
2 Yisa yicila gono kibene adak kitime, ayisa ghe kiyitik mine,
And, calling near a child, he set it 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 turn and become as the children, in nowise, shall ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
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 child, the same, is the greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens;
5 Nin ullenge na asere nkang gono kibene nan nya lisa nighe, asere mereku.
And, whosoever shall give welcome unto one such child as this, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome.
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.
And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones who believe in me, it profiteth him, that there be hung a large mill-stone about his neck, and he be sunk in the wide main of the sea.
7 Kash udu uyi bara kubin ntirzuari! bara uso doleari kubi kone ba dak bara ame!
Alas for the world! by reason of the causes of stumbling; for it is, necessary, that the causes of stumbling come, —nevertheless, alas for the man through whom the cause of stumbling 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)
But, if, thy hand or thy foot, be causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly for thee, to enter into life, maimed or lame, rather than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the age-abiding 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, causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly, for thee, one-eyed, into life, to enter, rather than, having two eyes, to be cast into the fiery gehenna. (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.
Beware! do not despise one of these little ones; For I say unto you—that, their messengers in the heavens, do, continually, behold the face of my Father in the heavens.
11 Bara gono nnit na dak ada tucu nalenge na ina wulu.
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, to you, doth it seem? If a certain man come to have a hundred sheep and one from among them go astray, Will he not leave the ninety-nine upon the mountains, and going, seek the straying one?
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 it should be that he find it, Verily, I say unto you—He rejoiceth over it, more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.
14 Nan nya nanere, na usun Ncif mine allenge nadi kutenit kane warum nan nya nibebene nai nanna ba.
Thus, there is no desire, in the presence of my Father who is in the heavens, that, one of these little ones, should be lost.
15 Asa gwana fine ntafi kulapi, durso ghe utanu me, anung ligan mine, cas, asa a lanza fi, utuucu gwana fine.
But, if thy brother sin, withdraw, convince him, betwixt thee and him, alone, —If unto thee he hearken, 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 do not hearken, take with thee, yet one or two, that, at the mouth of two witnesses or three, every declaration, maybe established;
17 Asa anari ulanza nanan dortu Yisa, awa nari ulanzu nanan dortu Yisa, na ame so kitife nnafo kulumai sa unan sesen ngandu.
But, if he hear them amiss, tell it to the assembly, —And, if, even the assembly, he hear amiss, Let him be unto thee, just as the man of the nations and the 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.
Verily, I say unto you—Whatsoever things ye shall bind on the earth, shall be bound in heaven; and, whatsoever things ye shall loose on the 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, [verily] I say unto you—If two from among you shall agree upon the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be brought to pass for them, from my Father who is in the heavens;
20 Bara kiti ka na awaba sa an watat nzuro nan nya lisa nigh, ndi nanghinu.”
For, where there are two or three, gathered together into my name, there, am I, in their midst.
21 Nin nani Bitrus da ada belle Yisa ku, “Cikilari, udu timashinari gwana nighba sui kulapi meng shawa muna? udu so kuzora?”
Then, coming near, Peter said [to him]—Lord! how many times, 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 saith to him—I say not unto thee, unto, 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.
For this cause, hath the kingdom of the heavens become like unto a man, a king, who wished to settle an account with 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, began, to settle, there was brought unto him a, certain, debtor, of a 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.
and, he, not having, wherewith to pay, the master ordered him to be sold, and the wife, and the children, and whatsoever 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, falling down, began to do homage unto him, saying—Have patience with me, and, all, will I pay thee.
27 Nin nani, Cikilari kucine, atinna alanza nkunekune me, bunkun ghe, shawan nin nre me.
And, moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him, and, the loan, he, forgave, him.
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, going out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him, a hundred denaries, and, laying hold of him, he began seizing him by the throat, saying, Pay! if anything thou owest.
29 Ame udone licinne dio kutyin, adi fo ghe nacara aworo, 'Ta ayi ashau nin mi nba biufi.'
His fellow servant, therefore, falling down, began beseeching him, saying, Have patience with me! And I will pay thee.
30 Ame kucin nburne nari, nin nani, ayiraghe atoghe licin, udu kubi ko na aba biughe ule imon na adin dortu ghe.
He, however, would not, but went away and cast him into prison, —until he should pay what was owing.
31 Kubii na adone licin nyene ile imon na asu, ayi mine nana. Ida idi belle Cikilari mine vat nile imon na asu.
His fellow-servants, therefore, seeing, the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, —and went and made quite plain to their master all the things which had been done.
32 Cikilari kucin kone yicila ghe, a bellinghe, 'Fe vat bara uwa sui kuculu.
Then, calling him near, his master saith unto him—O wicked servant! All that debt, forgave I thee, because thou didst beseech me.
33 Na fe nwasa ulanza nkunekune ndofine kucine ba? Nafo na meng na lanza nkunekune fe?'
Was it not binding, upon thee also, to have mercy upon thy fellow-servant, as, I also, on thee, had mercy?
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, provoked to anger, his master delivered him up to the torturers, until he should pay all that was owing.
35 Nanere wang ucif nighe kitene kani, ba su anunku, asa na anug ba shawa nin nalapi nuana nan nya nibinai mine ba.
Thus, my heavenly Father also, will do unto you, if ye forgive not each one his brother, from your hearts.
