Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
Unsiki ghulaghula avavulanisivua vakisa kwa Yesu na kukum'bula,”Ghwe veeni juuno m'baha mhu vutwa uvwa kukyanya?”
2 Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
U Yesu akakemela umwana un'debe, akam'bika pakati na kati pa vanave,
3 and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
na kuti,”kyang'haani nikuvavuula, mungabuhile kulata na kuuva heene vaana vadebe namunganoghele kukwingila mhu vutua vwa Nguluve.
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Pa uluo umuunhu ghweni juuno ikuviika heene mwaana n'debe, umunhu ndavule ujuo ghwe mbaha mhu vutua uvwa kukyanya.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
Kange umuunhu ghweni juuno ikumwupila umwaana u'debe mhu litavua lyango ikunyupila uune.
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
Looli ghweni juno ipelepesia jumo pakati pa vadebe ava vano vikunyitika kugaluka, luuva lunono kwa muunhu ujuo ilivue ilivaha ilya kuhavulila likungua kusingo kwa mwene, kange kudwivilila mhu kyogho mhu nyanja.
7 “Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
Iiga khu iisi ulwakuva unsiki ughwa kukalasia! ulwakuuva nalunofu khu masiki aghuo kukwisa, looli iiga kwa juula umuunhu juula amasiki ghala ghikwisa vwimila umwene!
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
Heene uluvoko lwako nambe ulughulu lwako lukukupelepesia kukalala, udumule kange utaghe kuvutali nhu nuve. Lunofu kyongo kulyuve juuve kukwingila khuvwumi kuuva nsila luvoko nambe uvulemavu, kuliko kutaghua khu mwooto ughwa kusila na kusila ghuva na mavoko ghooni nambe amaghulu ghooni. (aiōnios g166)
9 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
Heene iliso lyako likukukalasia, kuula kange ulitaghe kuvutali nuvee. Lunofu kyongo kulyuve juuve ghwingile kuvwumi nhi liiso limo, kuliko kutaghua khu mwooto aghwa kusila na kusila ghuva nha maaso ghooni. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Lolagha kuuti mulisa kusyojola juumo ughwa vadebe ava. Ulwakuva nikuvavuula kuuti kukyanya kulivanyamola vavanave ifighono fyoni vilola uvweni vwa Nhaata ghwango juuno alikukyanya.
11 For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
(Gadilila: Amasio ghanoghivoneka heene gha kidebe kya 11,”Ulwakuuva u mwaana ghwa Adamu akisile kukutupoka kiila kinokikasovile”naghakavonike mhu nakala innofu isa kali).
12 “What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
Musagha kiiki? Pano umunhu alining'olo kijigho kimo, jimo musene isova, vuuli naikuvaleka ifijigho tanda ifya kufidunda na kuluta kukumulonda juumo juuno asovile?
13 If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
Kange angamwaghe, kyang'haani nikuvavuula, ikunkela kuliko vaala kijigho kimo nhu tanda vanonavisova.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Pa uluo navwevwighane vwa Nhaata ghwinu ughwa kukyanya kuuti juumo mhu vadebe ava valemale.
15 “If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
Heene unyalukolo ghwako angakukosele, luuta, ukansone ilidoa pakate palyuve nhu mwene pano iiva mwene jujuuo. Ndavule ikukupulikisia, ghuva ugomwisie unyalukolo ghwako.
16 But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Looli nave naikupulikisia, ntoole unyalukolo juumo nambe vavili kyongo palikimo nuuve, Ulwakuuva mumalomo agha volesi vavili nambe vatatu kiila lisio linoghile kukagulua.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
Nave ibeda kuvampulikisia, livule ilikong'ano ilisio ilio, nave ibeda vulevule kupulikisia ilikong'ano, looli avisaghe heene muunhu ughwa vapanji usonga songo.
18 Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
Kyang'haani nikuvavuula kyekyoni kiila kinomuliva mudinda mhu iisi na kukyanya kidindua. kange kyekyoni kinomudindula mhu iisi na kukyanya kidindulivua.
19 Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
Kange nikuvavuula kuuti nave avaanhu vavili pakati palyumue vangiting'ane vwimila vwa lisio lyelyoni pa iisi linovisuma, iilio u Nhaata ghwango ughwa kukyanya ivomba.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
Ulwakuva vavili nambe vatatu vangakong'ane palikimo khu litavua lyango, une nili pakatenakate naveene.
21 Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
Pepano u Petro akisa na pikum'bula u Yesu,”ghwe Mutwa, na kalingi unyalukolo ghwango ifikuhoka une nisaghile? Nifikusaghilagha kuhanga kufika lekela lubale?”
22 Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
U Yesu akam'bula,”Naniiti kufika lekela lubale, looli usaghilaghe fijigho lekela lubale.
23 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Ulwakuuva ulu uvutwa vwa kukyanya vuling'ine ni kihwanikisio ikya ntwa jumonga juno akalondagha kuvala fino kuhuma kuvavombi vaake. Untwa ujuo ye atengwile
24 When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
kuvala fino ikuvasighila, um'bombi jumo alyale isighilua italanta imbilima kijigho.
25 But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Um'bombi ujuo ulwakuva alyakunilue kuhomba, untwa ghwa mwene alyaghile aghusivue, un'dala ghwake palikimo na vaana vaake ni fiinu fyoni fino alyale nafyo, neke ahombe fyoni.
26 The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
Pe um'bombi jula akaghua, akafughama pavulongolo pa mwene, akati,'Mutwa, uve nhu lugudo palikimo nune, ifinu fyako fyoni nihomba.'
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
Pe untwa ughwa jula um'bombi, ulwakuva akasukumivue kyongo nhu lusungu, akantavula na kukunsaghila fyoni fino isighilia
28 “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
Looli um'bombi jula ye avukile pala akatang'ana nu mbombi ujaake, juno alyale ikunsighila idinali kilundo. Akankola, akantaka kusingo, akam'bula,'Uhombe fyoni fino nikukusighila.'
29 “So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
Looli um'bombi ujaake jula akafughama pa maaso ghaake, akampelepesia, akati,'Nisuma unguule padebe ifinu fyako fyoni fino nisighilua nihomba.'
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
Neke um'bombi jula akakaana. pe, akaluta kukundindila ujaake mudinde, kuhanga pano ihomba ifinu fyoni fino isighilua.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
Avavombi avajaake ye vasivwene isio. Vakalemala kyongo. Vakaluta na kukum'bula untwa ghuvanave sooni sino sivombike.
32 Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
Pepano untwa akankemela um'bombi jula, akam'bula akati,'Ghwe m'bombi uve uli mbivi, uve ye unisumile une nakusaghila fyoni fino nakusighilagha.
33 Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
Asi! nuveele unoghile kukunsungukila umbombi un'jaako, ndavule une niveele nikunsungukile une?
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
Untwa jula akakalala kyongo pe akalaghila atwalue mu ndinde kupumusivua kuhanga pano ihomba ifinu fyoni fino isighilua. Enendiiki na ju Nhaata
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
ghwango ughwa kukyanya fye ilikuvahomba, na jumue nave namunkusaghila nhu mwoojo um'balafu unyalukolo.”
