Matthew 18
1 In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Gene mobhago bhaajiganywa gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu, gubhabhushiyenje, “Gani ali jwankulungwa Muupalume gwa Kunnungu?”
2 And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,
A Yeshu gubhanshemile mwana jumo, gubhannjimishe pakati jabhonji,
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.
gubhashite, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, nkatendebhukanje nibha malinga bhana, ngu, nkajinjilanga Muupalume gwa Kunnungu.”
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Jojowe akwiinyegaya nibha malinga aju mwanaju, jwenejo shaabhe jwankulungwa Muupalume gwa Kunnungu.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me:
Jojowe akumposhela mwana jumo malinga jweneju kwa ligongo lyangu nne, anamboshela nne.
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.
Jojowe shannebhye jumo jwa bhashokonji bhaangulupalinga nne, mbaya akatabhilwe liganga likulungwa nnukoi nileshelwa pa shilindili sha mashi.
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!
Ole gwenunji bhandu bha pa shilambolyo kwa ligongo lya ilokoli. Ilokoli shiikoposhele, ikabheje ole gwakwe jwene shaikumbuyejo.
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)
“Monaga nkono eu lukongono lwenu lunnebhyaga, nnukate na nnjae kwataliya. Mbaya nnjinjile mugumi gwa pitipiti nni gwangali nkono eu lukongono, nngalingana na leshelwa pa moto gwa pitipiti nni na makono na makongono genu ganaabhili. (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)
Liyo lyenu linnebhyaga, nnikolotole na kulijaa kwataliya. Mbaya nnjinjile mugumi gwa pitipiti nni na shongo, nngalingana leshelwa pa moto gwa ku Jeanamu nni na meyo genu ganaabhili. (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.
“Mwiteiganje! Nnannyegayanje jumo jwa bhashokonjibha. Ngunakummalanjilanga, ashimalaika bhabhonji kunnunguko mobha gowe pubhalinginji tome na Atati bha Kunnungu.
Pabha Mwana juka Mundu ashinkwiya kwaatapulanga bhandu bhaobhilenje.
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?
Nkubhonanga bhuli? Mundu akolaga ngondolo makumi kumi, anng'obhaga jumo, shatende bhuli? Anakwiileka ngondolo makumi tisha na tisha ila pa shitumbi, nikwenda kunnoleya aobhile jula.
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.
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, ampataga apinga kwinonyela kupunda makumi tisha na tisha yangaobha ila.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Nneyo peyo, Ainabhenunji bha Kunnungu bhakaapinga aobhe nkali jumo jwa bhashokonjibha.
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.
“Mpwenu annebhelaga, munjendele nkanneye nninginji mmabhilipe. Ampilikanaga mumpatile mpwenu.
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.
Akampilikane, nnjende naka mundu jumo eu bhabhili na mmayene, nkupinga kwa ukong'ondelo gwa bhandu bhabhili eu bhatatu, monaga lipali lilobhe limanyishe nimala.
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.
Akaapilikanilanje bhanganyabho, mwaalugulilanje bhandu bha nnikanisha. Na monaga akaapilikanilanje, mumone malinga bhandu bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu eu bhakamula koli.
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.
“Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, shoshowe shishintabhanje pa shilambolyo, shishitabhwe kunnungu, na shoshowe shishinngopolanje pa shilambolyo shishigopolwe kunnungu.
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.
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga kabhili, bhabhili bhenunji pa shilambolyo bhalaganangaga shoshowe sha juga, Atati bhali kunnungu shibhaatendelanje.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Pabha popowe pubhaimananga bhandu bhabhlili eu bhatatu kwa ligongo lyangu nne, nne mbali pamo na bhanganyabho.”
21 Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?
Kungai a Petili gubhaajendele a Yeshu, gubhaabhushiye, “Bhuli Mmakulungwa, mpwanga anebhele palingwa ninneshelele? Nkali pa shabha?”
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Ngaalugula mala shabhape, ikabhe nkali makumi shabha mala shabha.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants.
Pabha Upalume gwa Kunnungu unalandana naka mpalume jumo atendile eshabhu ika ntumishi jwakwe.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
Eshabhu ikatandubheje, gubhapeleshelwe mundu jumo alongwaga ligambo mmbiya yaigwinji.
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.
Jwene mundujo akakweteje shindu sha lipa, bhakulungwa bhakwe gubhaamulishe aushwe jwenejo na akagwe na ashibhanagwe na indu yowe yaakwete, nkupinga lipila ligambo lila.
26 The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Bhai, ntumishi jula gwabhatindibhalile, nigwashite, ‘Nnindile shininnipe ligambo lyenu lyowe.’
27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
Bhakulungwa bhala gubhammonele shiya ntumishi jula, gubhanneshelele ligambo lila, gubhanneshile aijabhulile.
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.
“Ntumishi jula gwajabhwile, gwanng'imene ntumishi nnjakwe annongaga ligambo lya mmbiya makumi kumi. Gubhankamwile, nikunkida pa nngulo alinkuti, ‘Unipe inguulonga!’
29 So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.
Ntumishi nnjakwe jula akuntindibhalilaga nikunshondelesheya, alinkuti ‘Nninde shininnipe yowe’.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due.
Ikabheje jwanngakunda, gwapite kuntabha kuligelesha mpaka pushalipe ligambo lyowe.
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.
“Bhai, bhatumishi ajakwenji bhakaibhonanjeje itendeshe gubhainginikenje kwa kaje, nigubhapite kwatashiyanga bhakulungwa bhabhonji gakoposhele.
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:
Bhakulungwa bhala gubhanshemile ntumishi jula, gubhammalanjlile, ‘Ugwe ujwanyata ntima! Gwashinkunyuga nikuleshelele, gunikuleshelele ligambo lyako lyowe.
33 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?
Bhuli, ikapinjikweje ugwe kummonnela shiya ntumishi nnjako malinga shinikubhonele shiya nne?’
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due.
“Bhai, bhakulungwa bhala gubhatumbele kaje, nigubhampeleshe akapotekwe mpaka pushalipe ligambo lyowe.
35 So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
A Yeshu gubhashite, Atati bhali kunnungu shibhantendelanje nneyo peyo monaga mundu akanneshelele mpwakwe mpaka muntima.”
