Matthew 18
1 In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
NI auer ota tounpadak kan poto dong Iesus potoan ong: Iaduen is me pan lapalap nan wein nanlang?
2 And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,
Iesus lao kotin molipeido kisin seri amen, ap kotin kotiki ong nan pung arail,
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.
Masani: Melel I indai ong komail, ma komail sota pan wukila, wiala song en kisin seri, komail sota pan kak ko ong nan wein nanlang.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Ari, meamen pan kasapwiledi pein i, dueta kisin seri men et, i me pan lapalap nan wein nanlang.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me:
O ma amen apwali kisin seri men due met ni ad ai, i me kin apwali ia.
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.
A meamen me pan kamakar amen ir, me tikitik, me poson ia, a mau ong, takai en plaua eu en sali ong tapin wor a, ap kamopela nan madau wasa me lol.
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!
Suedi ong sappa pweki a men kamakar akan, Ari so, men kamakar akan udan mia; suedi ong aramas o, me men kamakar pan tapi sang ia.
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)
A ma apali en pa om de apali en nä om pan kamakar uk, lepuke sang, o kase sang uk, pwe a mau ong uk ko ong maur ni om dangidang de sikilikil, sang om pa de nä pokon mia, ap ko ong kisiniai soutuk. (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)
O ma apali en mas om pan kamakar uk, waikada sang o kase sang uk, pwe a mau ong uk, ko ong maur ni om mas pali, sang mas om pokon mia ap lokidokila nan iai en pweleko. (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.
Kalaka, pwe komail der mamaleki amen tikitik pukat; pwe I indai ong komail, me arail tounlang kan, me mi nanlang, kin ariri Sam ai, me kotikot nanlang.
Pwe Nain aramas kodon dorela, me salongalar akan.
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?
Da me komail lamelame, ma aramas amen, naineki sip epuki, a amen irail pan salongala, a so pan pwilikidi duekduamen pon nana, ap kola raparapaki me salongala?
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.
A ma a pan diar, melel I indai ong komail, a pan peren kida, me men en sang duekduamen, me sota salongalar.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Iduen Sam omail, me kotikot nanlang, sota kotin men, amen kisin seri pukat en salongala.
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.
A ma ri om ol wia dip ong uk, en kelep kila i, kapung ong i dip a; ma a pan rong uk, nan koe kasapaledo ri om.
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.
A ma a sota pan rong uk, ap ukada amen de riamen, pwe meakaros en mi ren saunkadede riamen de silimen.
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.
A ma a kang rong irail, ap kaireki momodisou, a ma a pil kang rong momodisou, ap wia kin i men liki o saunopwei men.
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.
Melel I indai ong komail, me komail pan saliedi nin sappa, pan salidi nanlang, o me komail pan lapwada nin sappa, pan lapwada nanlang.
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.
I pil indai ong komail, ma riamen nin sappa pan minimin pene ni meakot, me re men poeki, a pan pwai ong ira sang Sam ai, me kotikot nanlang.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Pwe wasa kis, me riamen de silimen pokon pena ni ad ai, i wasa I kin mi nan pung arail.
21 Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?
Petrus ap kai dong i potoan ong: Maing, pan pak depa i en makeki ong ri ai ol o, me wia dip ong ia? A itar ma a pan me isepak?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.
Iesus kotin masani ong i: I indai ong uk, kaidin isepak eta, a pan pak isu wad iseisok.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants.
I me wein nanlang rasong nanmarki amen, me pan kapukapung na ladu kan.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
A ni a tapiada kapukapung, amen ap wisike dong i, me pwaipwandeki talent nen.
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.
A ni sota a men pwain, a monsap ap masanier, me a pan netila, o a paud, o na seri kan, o karos, me a aneki, pwen pwainda.
26 The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
A ladu o ap poridi mo a pongi, potoan ong: Maing kom kotin kanongama ong ia, i pan pwain ong komui karos.
27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
A monsap en ladu o ap pokela, ap lapwada o makeki ong i a pwaipwand.
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.
A ladu ota ap koieila, diaradar kis a ladu amen, me pwaipwand ong i denar epuki; i ari koledi i, padik pena tapin wor a indada: Kapungala, ma om pwaipwand mia.
29 So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.
Ladu ap poridi mo a, poeki indada: Kom kotin kanongama ong ia, i pan pwain ong komui.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due.
A a kang, ap koieila, kasedi ong nan imateng lao a kapungala a pwaipwand.
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.
A kis a ladu kan lao kilanger me wiauier, rap mauk kaualap, koieila kaireki arail monsap karos, me wiauier.
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:
A monsap ap ekere dong i, masani ong i: Koe meid ladu sued amen! I make ki ong uk er om pwaipwand karos pweki om poeki re i.
33 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?
Menda koe sota kadek ong ri om ladu, duen i kin kadek ong uk er?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due.
A monsap ap makar kidar o pangalang i ren saun kalokolok lao a kapungalar a pwaipwand karusia.
35 So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
Iduen Sam ai nanlang, pan pil wia ong komail, ma komail sota pan makeki sang nan mongiong omail ong ri omail.
