Matthew 18
1 In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Kuchiindi eecho basikiiya bakaza kuli Jesu akwaamba kuti, “Ngwani mupati mubwami bwakujulu?”
2 And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,
Jesu wakayiita kana kanini kulinguwe wakakkazika aakati kabo,
3 and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
akwaamba kuti kasimpe ndamwaambilamkuti ado musanduke akuba mbuli kana kaniini takukwe nimunga muyoonjila mubwami.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Nkaambo kakaako, kufumbwa ulibombya mbuli mwana muniini nguumupati mubwami bwakujulu.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me:
Kufumbwa utambula kana kaniini mbuli oobu muzina lyangu wambula ndime.
6 but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and [that] he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.
Pesi kufumbwa utuka umwi wabaaba baniini bamusyoma ulabalebya, chilabota mbubo kulinguwe kuti aangwe ndomba lyabbwe munsingo yakwe, akubbizigwa aakati kalwizi.
7 Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!
“Maawe kunyika nkaambo kazilebyo! Aboobo kuleelede kuti zilebyo zibe, pesi maawe kuli yooyo muntu weeta zilebyo!
8 And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
Kuti luboko lwakp na chituta chako chikupa chilebyo, chigonke ukuwaalila kule anduwe, kuli mbubo, kunjila mubuumi koli chilema na kotyokede kwiinda kuowelwa mumulilo utamani koli aamaboko aabili na mawuulu aabili. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
Na liso lyko likuchita kuba chilebyo, ulidadule ulisowele kule aanduwe. Kuli mbubo kuti unjle mubuumi aliso limwi kwiinda kusowelwa mubbila lyamulilo koli ameso aabili. (Geenna g1067)
10 See 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 who is in heaven.
Amuchenjele kuti utasmpawuuli umwi wabaaba baniini. Mbuli mbundaamba kulindinywe kuti kujulu kuli baangelo lyoonse balanga kubusyu bwa Taata uli kujulu.
Malembe mabotu achi Giliki taajisi munchali ooyo ulaabupanduliuzi bujanika muli bumwi, nkaambo Mwana aamuntu wakaza kuzoofutula eecho chakasweekede.
12 How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray?
Uyeeyanzi? Kuti umwi uli aambelele mwaanda, mpawo iimwi yasweek, takonzyi kusiya zili makumi aali musanu aane azili musanu azine aatala aakalundu akuya kuyooyanduula eeyo isweekede?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray.
Na wayijana, ndamwaambila kasimpe, ulabotelwa kwiinda eezyo zitasweekede.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Munzila ikozyene, teesi kuyanda kwa Taata uli kujuliu kuti umwi wabaaba baniini kuti batafwidilili.
15 And if thy brother sin against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Kuti munyoko wakubisizya, koya ukamutapatile aakati kako anguwe luzutu. Na wakuswiilila, ulajana munyoko.
16 But if he hear [thee] not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established.
Pesi na takuswiilili, bweza umwi na bambi babili kuti milomo yababili na baka, mboni batatu lyoonse jwi lilazuminika.
17 And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican.
Lino kuti wakaka kubaswiila, ambila mbungano, kuti wakaka alimwi kuswiilila mbungano, muleke aabe mbuli muhedeni akuba mbuli simutelo.
18 Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Ndamwaambila kasimpe, kufumbwa zintu nzimwaanga ansi zilaangwa akuju; lu, akufumbwa zyaangununwa ansi zilaanguununwa akujuliu.
19 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.
Alubo ndamwaambila na babili bazuninana atala achimwi nchibakumbila balachichitilwa a Taata uli kukulu
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
. Aawa ali kobile na kotatu mpubabungene aamwi muzina lyangu, akooko ndinooli aakati kabo.
21 Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?
Eelyo Pita waza akwaamba wati kuli Jesu, “Mwamio tungee mukwesu kandisizya nzyentimulekelele? Kusikila tuli musanu atubili!
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.
Jesu wakati kuli nguwe, “Tandimwaambili tuli musanu atubili, kusikila kumakumi musanu aabili katupetedwe kusika kumusanu atubili.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants.
Nkaambo kaako bwami Bwakujulu bulikozyene awumwi Mwami wakayanda kubamba makani aababelesi bakwe.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
Mbuli mbwakasanguna kubamba, umwi wababelesi wakaletwa kuli nguwe iwakapedwe kkumi lyazyuulu zyamataalenta.
25 But forasmuch as he had not [wherewith] to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Pesi mbwatakajisi chakuliya, Mwami wakwe wakamulayilila kuti awuzigwe, antoomwe amwanakazi wakwe abana azyoonse nzyakaliya kuchitwe.
26 The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Mpawo mubelesi wakawida ansi, wavundama akwaamba wati, “Mwami ndikkazike moyo, lino ndilakuya yoonse.
27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
Lino Mwami wamubelesi mbukunga wamufwida wamufwida luzyalo wamwaangwida mpawo wamulekelela chikoloto.
28 But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.
Pesi mubesi ooyo wakeenda akujana umwi mubelesi wamunyina wakalijisi madinali mwaanda, wakamubweza, watalika kumusina akwaamba kuti ndiliye nzwakabweza kuli ndime.
29 So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.
Mpawo mubelesinyina wakawida ansio wamukumbila wati, “Ndikkazikile moyo, ndilakuliya.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due.
Pesi mubelesi mutaanzi wakakaka. kwiinda, wakaya wakuya kuyoomuwalila muntolongo kusika akaliye nzyakali mupede.
31 So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Lino babelesinyina nibakabona zyakachika, bakawusa loko. Bakasika akwaambila mwami wabo zyoonse zyachitika.
32 Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me:
Mpawo mwami wamubelesi wakamwiita wati kulinguwe, iwe numubesi mubi, ndakakulekelela chikoloto choonse nkaambo wakandikumbila.
33 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?
Waleleede kumufwida luzyalo mubelesinyokwe, mbuli mbundakakufwida luzyalo?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due.
Mwami wakwe wakanyema akumupeda kuli basintolongo kusikila akaliye zyoonse nzyakabwezede.
35 So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
Mbuboobo alakwe Taata wakujulu mbwayoomuchitila na temwalekelela munyoko kuzwa mumoyo.
