Matayo 18
1 Matungo yayoyayo iamanyisigwa akaza kung'wa Yesu akamuila, Nyenyu numukulu muutemi akigulu?
At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, and said: Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 Yesu akamitanga umung'enya numunino, akamuika pakati ao.
And Jesus called a little child to him, and placed him in the midst of them,
3 Akahinga, tai numuie, iga muhite kila itunu nukutula anga ang'enya nianino singamuzizahuma kingila ku utemi wa kigulu.
and said: Verily I say to you, Unless you turn and become as little children, you can not enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 Kululo uyu nuituna anga ng'wana numunino, Umuntu nuanso mukulu kutemi nuakigulu.
Whoever, therefore, humbles himself as this little child, is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Nuyu wihi nuimu singiilya unge'wana numunino unsingiilyenene.
And whoever receives one such little child on my account, receives me;
6 Kululo wihi nukuhuma kukinyila kuantuawa nianino nizaahui kumuleka Itunda. Ikutula iza umuntu nuanso atungiligwe igwe la kusela munkingo agumilwe mulunzi nululundu.
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 Isatiko lanyu anyaunkumbingula kunsoko a nkani ya unkunyili, kunsoko aya aiwi azizaimatungo. Ingi gwa isaliko lakwe umuntu uyu nuziziza kumatungo ayo, naziziza kunsoko ane.
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 Ang'wi umukono wako numugulu weenda kukinyila, Uteme uugume kuli nu ewe, hangi ikutula iza kitalako kingila kuupanga uzewimugila umukono ang'wi wimlema, kukila kungungwa kumoto uzazitite umikono nimigulu ihi. (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 Ang'wi iliho liko likutosha lipe uligume kuli nuewewe, ukutula iza uewe kingila ni liho lingwi kukola kwingila ni miho abiilikunu endu soswe moto. (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 Gozi mleke kumudalaha ung'wi wa anino awa. kunsoko kumuila kina kilunde akale amalaika ao mahiku ihi azeaulindie uunso wang'wa Tata ane nua kigulu.
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.
For the Son of man has come to save that which is lost.
12 Mukusiga ntuni? iga itule umuntu utite nkolo igana ling'wi ilimile ing'wi singi ukualeka ne ao ni makumi kenda mulugulu nukulongola kumupenza uyo nung'wi?
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 Anga amuhole, tai kumuila, ukulumbilya kukila ao ni makumi kenda na kenda ni singa aialimie.
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 Ingi iti singa ulowa wang'wa Tata anyu nuakigulu kina ung'wi waanino awa kulimansila.
Even so, it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should be lost.
15 Ang'wi ng'waanyu wakulea, longola ende umuhugulye uewe nu ng'wenso anga akije waina munyandugu ako.
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 Anga wahita kuulegeelya, muhole muntu ng'wi ang'wi abiili palung'wi nue, kunsoko imilomo naantu abiili ang'wi atatu ihumile kukondanilya ulukani luzipe.
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 Anga wihita kumutegeelya liile itekeelo ulukani ulu, angawahila hangi kulilegeelya itekeelo, nuanso waina munya kilungu rumuhoela mpia.
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 Tai numuile kilu nimukukilungaila mihi nu kilunde kikulugailwa hangi kilu nimukukilugula mihi nukigulu kikuhugulwa.
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 Hangi numuie kina antu abiili miumbi lanyu anga igombye lukani lihi mihi nialulompila nulanso utata ane nuakigulu ukituma.
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 Kunsoko abiili ang'wi atatu nikie palung'wi kukiila lina lane, nunene nkoli palung'wi nienso.
For where there are two or three that have come together for my sake, there I am in the midst of them.
21 Hangi u Petro akaza akamuila u Yesu, ''mukulu, umunyanduguani antashe kanga nune numulekee, ata mupangati?
Then Peter came to him, and said: Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?
22 U Yesu akamuila, singakuila ang'wi mupugati, Ingi ata iti imakumi mupungati na mupungati.
Jesus said to him: I say to you, Not till seven times, but till seventy times seven.
23 Kunsoko nanso utemi wa kigulu wilika nuulemi uo nautakile kunonelya ialo la mutugwa wakwe.
For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is likened to a king that wished to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Naiwandya kunonelya ialo, umutugwe akwe ung'wi anudaiye makumi anzagu ikumi.
And when he began to make a settlement, there was brought to him one that owed him ten thou sand talents.
25 Kunsoko aimugila anga nzila akulipa, unugole akwe akalagiilya aguligwe umusungu akwe, palung'wi niana akwe ni kintu kihi nautile uulipe wifung'we.
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 Umutugwa akagwa, akatugama pa ntongeela akwe, akalunga mukulu utule nuugimya palung'wi nune hangi kuulipa kila ikintu.
Therefore, the servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, Lord, and I will pay you all.
27 Umugole wang'wa mutugwa nuanso akahungwa kinyauwai akalekanuka nayo ihi naumudaiye.
And the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and let him go, and forgave him the debt.
28 Ingigwa umutugwa naiwalekelwa numugole, akalongola akamuamba muntungwi akamgoga kunsoka amudailye dinari igana ling'wi, akamuila ndipe iko ninukudaiye.
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 Umutugwa uyu naudaigwe akamuila nindiile kuupa udu aya nundailye.
Then his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
30 Umuntu gwa uyu nuang'wandyo akahita, sunga akalongola akamutunga kukitungo, anga wazawamailya iko numudaiye amutunguile.
And he would not; but went and threw him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 Latugwa niangiza naiaona nikanso makipumie, Ikahung'wa kinyauwai kikulu, akaza ikamuila umugole ao kihi iko naikine kung'wanso.
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 Ingi gwa umgole uyo nua mutugwa akamitango akamuila ue mutugwa numbi, nakalekela uewe ideni lake lili kunsoko aumpepeye.
Then his lord called him and said to him: Wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you besought me.
33 Uewe gwa? singa au humile na kutula ni kinyauwai kumutugwa miako? Anga une nainukumie ikinyauwai.
Ought you not to have had mercy on your fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on you?
34 Umugole akwe ataka akamutwala kuantu niaja iantu, akatula gigwa sunga ruzemaila ilipo naudaigwe.
And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all that was due him.
35 Iti ingi uu uTata ane nuakigulu uzimu tendeela, ang'wi ung'wianyu shuzemulekela imilandu umulana akwe kupuma munkolo yanyu.
So also will my heavenly Father do to you, if, from your hearts, you forgive not every one his brother’s offenses.
