Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
Muna thangu yina, minlonguki miyiza kuidi Yesu ayi minyuvula: —Buna nani lutidi munneni mu Kipfumu ki Diyilu e?
2 Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
Yesu wutumisa muana lezi, wuntelimisa va khatitsik'awu
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.
ayi vutuba: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba enati lukadi balula mavanga ayi enati lukadi kituka banga bana balezi, lulendi kota ko mu Kipfumu ki Diyilu.
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Diawu woso mutu wowo wukukikulula banga muana wawu, buna niandi lutidi munneni mu Kipfumu ki Diyilu.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
Ayi woso mutu wowo wunyakulu muana lezi wuphila yayi mu dizina diama, minu kuandi kayakudi.
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.
Woso mutu wumbuisa mu masumu wumosi mu bana balezi bobo bakunguilukilanga, bulutidi mboti bankanga ditadi dinneni diodi beti nikina zitheti mu tsingu bosi bandiamisa ku tsi mbu.
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!
A nga mabienga va nza mu diambu di ziphila-phila zi mambu momo meti buisa batu mu masumu! Mambu beni mafueti kaka kuiza vayi mabienga kuidi mutu wowo wuntonisanga mawu.
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)
Enati koko kuaku voti kulu kuaku kulembo buisi mu masumu buna mboti mu zenga kuawu ayi loza kuawu thama. Bila mboti wukota ku luzingu ayi koko kuzengo voti kulu kuzengo ayi mu lozo ku mbazu yika yizimanga ko ayi mioko miodi miduka voti malu muadi maduka. (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)
Enati dieso diaku dieta kubuisa mu masumu, dovula diawu ayi loza diawu ku thama! Bila bulutidi mboti mu kota ku luzingu mu kambu dieso ayi lozo ku mbazu yi bulungi ayi meso muadi maduka. (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.
Lukeba Lubika lenza kani muana wumosi mu bana balezi baba bila ndikulukamba zimbasi ziawu ku Diyilu zintelamanga mu zi thangu zioso va ntuala zizi ki Dise diama diodi widi ku Diyilu.
11 For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
[Bila Muana Mutu wuyiza mu vukisa batu bobo bazimbala.]
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?
Buevi lumbanza e? Enati mutu beki khama yi mamemi vayi dimosi dizimbidi, buna kalendi bika ko luvua ayi divua di mamemi mankaka va mbata mongo mu kuenda tombi diodi dizimbidi e?
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.
Enati mueni diawu, bukiedika ndikulukamba, makamona khini mu diambu di dimemi dina viokila khini yoyi kadi mu luvua ayi vua lu mamemi momo makambu zimbala.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Phila yimosi ayi Dise dieno didi ku Diyilu, kakadi zola ti muana wumosi mu bana balezi baba kazimbala.
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.
Enati khomb'aku vengi mbimbi, yenda wuntala ngeyo veka ayi nkambi mbimbi yi kavengi va beno veka buadi. Enati wuwilukidi, buna vutudi khomb'aku mu nzila yimboti.
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.
Vayi enati kakadi wilukila, buna bonga mutu wumosi voti batu buadi mu diambu mamo mantubu makindusu mu kimbangi ki batu buadi voti ki batu batatu.
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.
Enati, kakadi wila batu beni, buna kamba mambu beni kuidi dibundu. Enati mengi kuandi wila dibundu, buna wuntalanga; banga Pakanu ayi mfutisi wu phaku.
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.
Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti mamo luela kanga vava ntoto, mela kangama ku Diyilu ayi mamo luela nianguna va ntoto mela niangunu ku Diyilu.
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.
Ndikulukamba diaka enati batu buadi mu beno vava ntoto bawizini mu lomba dioso kuandi diambu, buna Dise diama diodi widi ku Diyilu wela kuba vana diawu.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
Bila vana vakutikini batu buadi voti batu batatu mu dizina diama, minu ndidi va khatitsik'awu.
21 Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
Piela wufikama vaba Yesu, wunyuvula: —A Pfumu! Zikhumbu zikua mbeki bu lemvukila khomb'ama wukuphangilanga mambu mambimbi e? Tsambuadi di zikhumbu kaka e?
22 Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
Yesu wumvutudila: —Nana, ndikadi kukamba ti tsambuadi di zikhumbu kaka vayi nate lusambudi lu zikhumbu bunda tsambuadi.
23 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Diawu Kipfumu ki Diyilu kidedikini banga ntinu wuzola tanga bima biandi ayi bisadi biandi.
24 When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Buna katona tanga bima biandi, bannatina kisadi kimosi kiba pholo andi yi kumi di mili di bitalanta.
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.
Vayi bu kasia nunga ko futa; diawu pfumu'andi katumina ti bansumbisa niandi veka ayi nketo'andi ayi bana bandi ayi bima biandi bioso muingi pholo andi yifutama.
26 The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
Vayi kisadi beni kifukama va malu mandi ayi kinleba: “Bika wumvibidila! Mandifuta pholo'aku yoso!”
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
Pfumu wu kisadi kioki wummona kiadi, wunyekula ayi wunlemvukila pholo'andi yoso.
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!’
Kisadi beni bu katotuka, wudengana nkundi andi, muisi kisalu yandi; wundeva khama yimosi yi zidenali. Niandi wumbuila ayi wumfieta va dinga ayi wunkamba: “futa pholo'ama”.
29 “So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
Nkundi andi wu kisalu wufukama ayi wunleba: “Bika wumvibidila! Mandifuta pholo'ku.”
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
Vayi wumanga vibidila, wuyenda kunkangisa nate kamanisa futa pholo yoso.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
Bakundi ba kisalu bankaka bamona kiadi kiwombo bu bamona bu viokila mambu moso. Diawu bayenda kambila pfumu kisalu mambu moso bu mabela.
32 Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
Buna Pfumu beni wutumisa kisadi beni, wunkamba: “Widi kisadi kimbimbi! Minu ndilemvukila pholo yoso bila wundeba ngolo.
33 Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
A bila mbi wusi monina ko khomb'aku kiadi, banga bobo minu ndimueniningi kiadi e?”
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
Pfumu wufuema buwombo ayi wunyekula mu mioko mi batu bobo banyamisanga batu nate kela manisa futa pholo'andi yoso.
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
Buawu bobo buela kuluvangila Dise diama didi ku Diyilu enati kadika mutu mu beno mengi lemvukila khomb'andi mu ntima wukiedika.
