Matthew 18
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
In pacl sac, mwet tumal lutlut elos tuku ac siyuk sin Jesus, “Su fulat oemeet in Tokosrai lun kusrao uh?”
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
Na Jesus el pangonma tulik srisrik se ac sap elan tu ye mutalos,
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.
ac el fahk, “Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, kowos fin tia ekla in oana tulik srisrik, kowos ac koflana ilyak nu in Tokosrai lun kusrao.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
El su fulat oemeet in Tokosrai lun kusrao uh pa el su akpusiselyal in oana tulik se inge.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Ac kutena mwet su eis sie tulik srisrik ouinge inek, el oayapa eisyu.
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.
“Kutena mwet su fah aktukulkulye sie selos inge su srik su lulalfongiyu, ac wona nu sin mwet sacn in sripsripi sie eot wen inkwawal ac sisella elan walomla yen loal in meoa uh.
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!
Fuka kolukiya nu sin faclu ke oasr na ma su aktukulkulye mwet uh! Kain lumah inge ac nuna sikyak pacl nukewa, tusruktu ac fah arulana koluk nu sin mwet se su pwanang tuh ouiya inge in sikyak uh!
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)
“Lac poum ku lac niom fin aktukulkulye kom, pakela ac sisla! Ac wo fin wanginla lac poum ku lac niom ac kom utyak nu in moul ma pahtpat, liki monum in fas ac sisiyang kom nu in e kawil. (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)
Ac la atronmotom fin aktukulkulye kom, tipalla ac sisla! Ac wo kom in utyak nu ke moul ma pahtpat wi atronmuta se na, liki atronmotom kewa in oasr ac sisiyang kom nu ke e lun hell. (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.
“Liyaung tuh kowos in tia pilesru kutena selos su srik inge. Nga fahk nu suwos, tuh lipufan lalos elos mutana ye mutun Papa tumuk inkusrao pacl e nukewa.” [
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Tuh Wen nutin Mwet el tuku in tuh molelosla su tuhlac.”]
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?
“Mea kowos nunku mu sie mwet ac oru fin oasr sheep siofok natul, ac soko tuhlac? Ya el ac tia filiya ma eungoul eu in muta mongo pe eol uh, ac som suk ma soko ma tuhlac uh?
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.
Ke el konauk, nga fahk nu suwos lah el ac engan yohk ke sheep soko ah, liki ma eungoul eu ma tia tuhlac uh.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
In ouiya se na inge, Papa tomowos inkusrao El tia lungse kutena selos su srik inge in tuhlac.
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.
“Sie mwet lulalfongi fin orekma koluk lain kom, fahla nu yorol ac akkalemye ma sufal lal. Tusruktu, oru ma inge inmasrlomtal na. El fin porongekom, na orekma wo lom folokonulma.
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.
A el fin tia porongekom, kom eis sie ku luo mwet in wi kom, tuh kas in alein nukewa in oasr akpwayeye sin mwet loh luo yak, oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk.
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.
Ac el fin tia pacna porongalos, na kom fahkak ma nukewa nu sin church. Ac el fin srangesr lohng church, na kom tari oral oana sie mwet pegan, ku sie mwet eisani tax.
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.
“Ke ma inge nga fahk nu suwos nukewa: Kutena ma kowos kapriya fin faclu, ac fah kapiri pac inkusrao; ac kutena ma kowos tulala faclu, ac fah taltalla pac inkusrao.
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.
“Ac nga fahk pac nu suwos: Pacl nukewa ma luo suwos insese nu ke sie ma su kowos pre kac fin faclu, Papa tumuk inkusrao El ac fah oru nu suwos.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Tuh yen nukewa ma oasr mwet luo ku tolu tukeni we inek, nga fah welulos pac.”
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Na Peter el tuku nu yurin Jesus ac fahk, “Mwet Luti, sie mwet lulalfongi wiuk fin nuna orekma koluk nu sik, pacl ekasr nga ac nunak munas nu sel kac? Ya pacl itkosr?”
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Ac Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Mo, tia pacl itkosr, a itngoul pacl itkosr,
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
mweyen Tokosrai lun kusrao uh ouinge: Sie pacl ah tuh oasr sie tokosra su sulela in tuni soemoul lun mwet orekma lal.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
El tufahna akoo in oru ma inge na utukyak sie selos su soemoul lal alukela million dollar.
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.
Mani su oasr yurin mwet kulansap sac tia fal in molela soemoul lal, ke ma inge tokosra el sap in kukakinyukla el oana sie mwet kohs, wi mutan kial, tulik natul ac ma nukewa lal, in akfalye misa lal.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Ke ma inge mwet kulansap sac putati nu ye mutun tokosra sac ac fahk, ‘Nunak munas, mongfisrasr nu sik, ac nga ac fah akfalye nu sum ma nukewa!’
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Tokosra sac pakomutal ac nunak munas nu sel ac eela soemoul lal, na el fuhlella el som.
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.
“Na ke mwet sac el oatula, el sun sie sin mwet orekma wial su soemoul nu sel ke sie lupa na srisrik. El sruokilya ac iseya kwawal ac fahk, ‘Molema soemoul lom nu sik uh!’
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Mwet kulansap sac putati ye mutal ac fahk, ‘Nunak munas, mongfisrasr nu sik, ac nga fah akfalyela soemoul luk nu sum!’
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
A el tia lungse lohng, ac el eisalang nu in presin tuh elan muta nwe ke na el akfalyela soemoul lal.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Ke mwet orekma wial saya elos liye ma inge, elos arulana toasr kac, ac som fahk ma nukewa nu sin tokosra sac.
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:
Na tokosra sac solama mwet sac ac fahk nu sel, ‘Kom sie mwet kulansap arulana koluk! Nga nunak munas nu sum ke ma nukewa kom soemoul nu sik kac, mweyen na kom kwafe nu sik.
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Ya tia fal kom in nunak munas pac nu sin mwet kulansap se wiom ah, oana ke nga oru nu sum?’
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Tokosra el arulana kasrkusrak sel, ac supwalla nu in presin elan muta keok we nwe ke na el akfalyela soemoul lal nukewa.”
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Ouinge Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Papa tumuk inkusrao El ac oru oapana inge nu suwos, kowos fin tia nunak munas nu sin mwet lulalfongi wiowos ke insiowos na pwaye.”
