Matio 18

1 Lanyogunu bi hoadikaaba den naigini Jesu kani ki buali o: Tanpoli diema nni hme n baa tugi li yuli?

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, and said: Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 Jesu den yini ki biwaaga ki sieni o bi siiga ki yedi:

And Jesus called a little child to him, and placed him in the midst of them,

3 N waani yi i moamoani, yi yaa lebidi ki tua nani a biwaala yeni yi kan kua tanpoli diema nni.

and said: Verily I say to you, Unless you turn and become as little children, you can not enter the kingdom of heaven.

4 Yua n miini o yuli ki tua nani ya biwaaga n tie na kuli, wani n baa tugi li yuli tanpoli diema nni.

Whoever, therefore, humbles himself as this little child, is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 Yua n ga ki biwaaga nani one cangu kuli n yeli nni, ga mini yaa cangoe.

And whoever receives one such little child on my account, receives me;

6 Ama yua mo n baa teni ke yaa bonwaala n daani nni na siiga baa yendo n tudi kuli, li bi baa hani ki cie landaano po ban lani o li naacianli, ki lu o mi ñincianma nni wan mili ki bodi.

but whoever ensnares one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Fala baa ye leni handuna kelima li tingbali bonla yaa po. Kelima li kan tuo ke li tingbali bonla kan yaa ye. Ama fala baa ye leni yaa nilo n cuani la.

Alas for the world because of snares! for it is necessary that snares come: but alas for that man by whom the snare comes!

8 A nuu yaaka a taali ya tie tingbali bonla, han jia ki lu foagima. Kelima a ya baa yaa miali n kan gbeni leni taayenli yaaka nuyendu, li baa hani apo ki cie han yaa pia taana lie leni nii lie ban nan lu ha yaa fantama n ki pia gbindima nni (aiōnios g166)

If, then, your hand or your foot ensnares you, cut it off, and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, than, having two hands or two feet, to be thrown into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)

9 A nunbu n ya tie apo tingbali bonla, han logidi bu ki lu foagima, kelima a ya baa yaa miali n kan gbeni leni nuyendu, li baa hani apo li cie han yaa pia nuni lie ban lu ha ku fantabuogu nni. (Geenna g1067)

And if your eye ensnares you, pull it out, and throw it from you. It is better to enter into life with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be thrown into hell-fire. (Geenna g1067)

10 Fangi mani yi yula ki da fali a bonwaala na siiga baa yendo, kelima n yedi yi ke tanpoli po bi malekinba ye baa yua n ye tanpoli nintuali yogunu kuli.

Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, That their angels in heaven do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

11 Kelima o Joa Bijua cua ki baa faabi yaaba n yaadi.

For the Son of man has come to save that which is lost.

12 Yi tama be? O joa ya pia pe kobiga. Bi siiga yendo n yaadi, o baa tieni lede? Waa baa ha yaa piiyia n peyiadi n sieni bi yankpaakaanu a juana kani ki gedi ki ban lingi yua n yaadi yeni?

What think you? If a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them go astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, and go into the mountains, and seek for that which has gone astray?

13 N waani yi i moamoani, o ya la o kuli, o baa mangi o pali boncianla kelima laa pia po ki cie yaa piiyiadi n peyiadi n ki yaadi yeni.

And if it so be that he find it, verily I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

14 Li tie yeni leni yi Baa yua n ye tanpoli, waa bua ke a bonwaala na siiga baa yendo n yaadi.

Even so, it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should be lost.

15 A lielo ya tieni ti tuonbiadi, gedi, fini leni wani yi lie lie, ki waani o o tagili. O ya tuo a tundi, a ga a lielo yeni.

And if your brother sin against you, go and tell him of his fault between you and him alone; if he hear you, you have gained your brother.

16 Ama o yaa tuo a tundi, han taa yendi yaaka niba lie ke mi maama kuli n kadi seedinba lie yaaka seedinba taa yaa ñoabu nni.

But if he will not hear you, take with you one or two more, that, by the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word may be established.

17 O ya yie kaa cengi ba mo, han waani Kilisiti n yini yaaba taanli. O ya yie kaa cengi Kilisiti n yini yaaba taanli moko, han yaa nua o nani o nilamo leni o lubigaalo yeni.

But if he refuse to hear them, tell it to the church; and if he also refuse to hear the church, let him be to you as a heathen man and a publican.

18 N waani yi i moamoani, yin baa loli handuna nni kuli, li baa loli tanpoli po, yin baa lodi yaala mo handuna nni kuli, li baa lodi tanpoli po.

Verily, I say to you, my disciples, Whatever you bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.

19 N go waani yi, i niinni niba lie yaa taani ñoabu ki mia yaala kuli handuna nni. N Baa yua n ye tanpoli baa pa ba la.

Again, I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about any thing for which they will ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

20 Kelima niba lie bi niba taa yaa taani n yeli nni, n ye bi siiga.

For where there are two or three that have come together for my sake, there I am in the midst of them.

21 Lani Pieliden nagini Jesu kani ki yedi o: N Diedo, n lielo ya tudi npo, n baa tieni opo sugili hali taalima ha? Hali taalima lele bi?

Then Peter came to him, and said: Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?

22 Jesu den goa ki yedi o: Mii yedi a hali taalima lele ka, ama n yedi a piilele hali taalima lele.

Jesus said to him: I say to you, Not till seven times, but till seventy times seven.

23 Kelima tanpoli diema tie nani ya bado n den bua o naacenba n waani o ban kubi opo ya ligi maama fuuli.

For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is likened to a king that wished to settle accounts with his servants.

24 Wan den cili ki coadi yua kuli n kpendini yaa ligi, bi den cuani o kani yendo ke o pia li panli ke li tie ligiciami.

And when he began to make a settlement, there was brought to him one that owed him ten thou sand talents.

25 Wan ki den pia liba ki baa pa laa panli yeni, o canba den ban kuadi o, wani o pua leni o bila leni wan pia yaala kuli, ke li panli n gbeni.

But as he was not able to pay, his lord commanded him, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, to be sold, and payment to be made.

26 O naacemo den gbaani o nintuali ki yedi: Canba, juuni npo n baa pa ha likuli.

Therefore, the servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, Lord, and I will pay you all.

27 Mi nihima den cuo o canba laa naacemo po ke o puni o sugili o panli kuli po ki cedi wan gedi.

And the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and let him go, and forgave him the debt.

28 Laa naacemo n den ñani, o den tuogi o lieba siiga yendo yua n den kubi opo kujapiena kobiga. O den bibi o ki cuo o niali ki yedi o: Pa nni n panli.

But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hold of him, and took him by the throat, saying: Pay me what you owe.

29 O lielo yedi den gbaani o taana kani ki mia o sugili ki yedi: Juuni npo, n baa pa ha.

Then his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.

30 Ama waa den bua ki tieni opo sugili o den taa o ki ban kuani o li kadidieli nni hali wan baa pa o panli kuli ki gbeni.

And he would not; but went and threw him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

31 O lieba n den laa wan tieni yaala kuli, bi pala den biidi boncianla. Bi den gedi ki ban togidi bi canba yaala n tieni kuli.

When his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very sad, and went and made known to their lord all that was done.

32 Lanwani bi canba den yini o naacemo yeni ki yedi o: O naacenbiado na, n den cabi a leni a panli kuli kelima a den mia nni.

Then his lord called him and said to him: Wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you besought me.

33 Laa pundi ke fini mo n gbadi o lielo po mi nihima nani min gbadi apo maama yeni?

Ought you not to have had mercy on your fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on you?

34 O canba pali den beni boncianla. O den teni o li kadidieli jiidikaaba ban faligi o hali wan pa o panli kuli ki gbeni.

And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all that was due him.

35 Jesu den juodi ki yedi: N Baa yua n ye tanpoli baa soani yi moko yene, yi siiga yua n kaa puni o lielo sugili leni payenli.

So also will my heavenly Father do to you, if, from your hearts, you forgive not every one his brother’s offenses.
