Matthew 18
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Kekala katema kala ŵakulijiganya ŵaichilile Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Ana nduni jwaali jwankulungwa mu Umwenye wa kwinani?”
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
Che Yesu ŵambilasile mwanache, ŵanjimiche mmbujo mwao.
3 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.
Nipele ŵatite, “Isyene ngunsalila, iŵaga ngankugalauka ni kuŵa mpela ŵanache, nganjinjila kose mu umwenye wa kwinani.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Nipele jwalijose jwakulitimalika mpela aju mwanache ju, jwelejo ni jwali jwankulungwa mu umwenye wa kwinani.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Jwalijose jwakumpochela mwanache jumo mpela aju mu liina lyangu, jwelejo akumbochela une.”
6 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.
“Nambo jwalijose juchantende jumo jwa achanandi ŵa, ŵakungulupilila une atende sambi, ikaliji yambone kwa ŵelewo ataŵikwe pa lukosi liganga lyekulungwa lya kusyajila ni kumponya mu bahali pakwendesya nnope.
7 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!
Ulaje chiuŵe kwa ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo kwa ligongo lya kuichisya indu ya kwatenda ŵandu atende sambi. Indu yo ikusachilwa ikopochele nambo ulaje kukwakwe mundu juchaichenawo indu yo.
8 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)
“Iŵaga nkono wenu pane lukongolo lwenu lukuntenda ntende sambi, mmukate nkaujase kwakutalika. Mmbaya kukwenu kwinjila mu umi pangali nkono umo pane lukongolo lumo kupunda kuponyekwa pa mooto wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi wangasimika ndi ni makono gaŵili ni makongolo gaŵili. (aiōnios g166)
9 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)
Ni liso lyenu lyantendaga ntende sambi, nlikolopole ni kuliponya kwakutalika. Mmbaya kukwenu kwinjila mu umi wangamala ni liso limo, kupunda kuponyekwa pa mooto wangasimika moŵa gose pangali mbesi ndi ni meeso gaŵili. (Geenna g1067)
10 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.
“Nlilolechesye! Nkanchembulusya jumo jwa achanandi ŵa. Ngunsalila, achikatumetume ŵao kwinani ko moŵa gose akulola usyo wa Atati ŵaali kwinani.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu ŵaiche kukwakulupusya aŵala ŵaŵasochele.
12 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?
“Ana ŵanyamwe nkuti uli, Mundu akolaga ngondolo mia moja, ni jasochelaga ngondolo jimo, ngaasileka ngondolo tisini na tisa sila pasyaliji po ni kwaula kukujisosa jajisochele jila?
13 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.
Ajisimanaga, ngunsalila isyene, akusengwa ligongo lya jejila kusipunda tisini na tisa syangasochela sila.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Iyoyo Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani ngakusaka ata jumo jwa achanandi ŵa kuti asochele.
15 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.
“Nlongo njenu anleŵelaga, munjaulile nkanlosye chileŵo chakwe nli ŵaŵili pe. Ampilikanilaga chimme mumpatile nlongo njenu.
16 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.
Nambo iŵaga ngakumpilikanila, munjigale mundu jumo pane ŵaŵili pakuti kwa kang'wa sya ŵaumboni ŵaŵili pane ŵatatu, kila liloŵe likaluche, mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala.
17 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.
Akanaga kwapilikanichisya ŵanyawo, muusalile mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Ni akanaga kuupilikanila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, mummalanjile yalumo mundu jwangakwamanyilila Akunnungu ni jwakukumbikanya nsongo.
18 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.
“Ngunsalila isyene, gagali gose gachingakanye pachilambo chigaŵe gamakanikwe kwinani ni gagali gose gachingakunde pachilambo, chigaŵe gamakundikwe kwinani.
19 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.
“Ngunsalila isyene, ŵaŵili pasikati jenu ajilanaga pachilambo pano kwa chindu chachilichose chichaŵende, Atati ŵangu ŵa kwinani chiŵapanganyichisye chindu cho.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Pakuŵa palipose pakusongangana ŵandu ŵaŵili pane ŵatatu pamo kwa liina lyangu, une ndili pelepo ni ŵanyawo.”
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Nipele, che Petulo ŵaichile Che Yesu nikuti, “Ambuje, ana mpwanga aneŵele kalingwa none naalechelesye? Mala saba?”
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ngangunsalila mala saba pe, nambo saba mala sabini.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
Kwayele, Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mwenye jumo juŵasakaga kulola achikapolo ŵakwe yatite pakupanganya.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Paŵatandite kulola, ŵannyichisye mundu jumo juŵaliji ni ligambo lya mamilioni kwa mamilioni.
25 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.
Mundu jo nganakola chakulipa, kwayele ambujegwe ŵalamwile asumisikwe nti kapolo mundu jula ni ŵankwakwe ni achiŵanagwe ni yanayose iŵakwete, kuti ligambo limale.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Nipele, kapolo jula ŵatindiŵele mmbujo pa ambujegwe ni kwaŵenda achitiji, ‘Ambuje mumbililile kaje, none chinanlipe yose.’
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Mmbujegwe kapolo jula ŵankolele chanasa, ŵannechelesye ligambo lila, ni kuntendela ajaule.
28 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.
“Nambo kapolo jula ŵatyosile, ŵansimene jumo jwa achikapolo achinjakwe juŵandaiji mbiya kanandi. Ŵankamwile ni kunkamula pa lukosi achitiji, ‘Nlipe ligambo lyenu!’
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Nombe kapolo njakwe jula ŵatindiŵele pa makongolo gakwe ŵanchondelele achitiji, ‘Mumbililile kaje, none chinanlipe yose’.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
Nombejo ŵakanile, ŵajawile kukumponya mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa, mpaka patachilipa ligambo lila.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
“Nipele, achikapolo achinjakwe paŵaiweni yeleyo ŵasongoneche nnope, ŵajawile kukwasalila ambuje ŵao yose iyatendekwe.
32 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:
Pele ambujegwe ŵammilasile ni kunsalila, ‘Ugwe jwakutumichila jwangalumbana nnope! Nannechelesye ligambo lila lyose pamwanjondelele.
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Ana nganinsachilwa kunkolela chanasa kapolo njenu jo mpela inatite pakunkolela chanasa mmwe?’
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
“Nipele mmbujegwe jula ŵatumbile nnope, ŵampeleche katumetume jula kwa ŵakulagasya mpaka pele patachilipa ligambo lyose.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Ni atati ŵangu ŵa kwinani chachintendela iyoyo peyo iŵaga jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe ngannechelesya mpwakwe ni mtima wakwe wose.”
