Mathayo 18
1 muda woo anapunzi bake batiicha kwa Yesu ni kummakiya, “Nyai ywabile nkolo mu'utawala wa kumaunde?”
At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, and said: Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 Yesu kaankema mwana nchunu kammeka nkati yabe,
And Jesus called a little child to him, and placed him in the midst of them,
3 No baya, “Kweli nenda kuamakiya, mana mukotwike tubu no panga kati mwabana alele muweza kwaa jingya mu utawala wa Nnongo.
and said: Verily I say to you, Unless you turn and become as little children, you can not enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 Kwa eyo woywote ywalowa kuuluya kati mwana mnele, mundu kati ywo nga nkolo mu'utawala wa kumaunde.
Whoever, therefore, humbles himself as this little child, is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Ni mundu ywoywoti ywalowa kumpokya mwana mnele kwa lina lyango anipokya nenga.
And whoever receives one such little child on my account, receives me;
6 Lakini ywoywoti ywasababisha jumo kati ya alele aba babaniaminiya asi, yalowa panga bora kwa mundu ywp liwe likolo lyo sangya likatabilwa paingo yake ni, tumbukilwa mu'bahari.
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 Ole kwa dunia kwasababu kunumiya! kwa mana ntopo namna kwa wakati wo icha, lakini ole kachake kwa mundu yolo wakati woo yaicha kwaajili yake!
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 Kati luboko lwako lutikusababisha kukwazika, ukate ni utaikwe kutalu ni wenga bora kachako wenga jingya muuzima ubile ntopo luboko au kilema, kuliko taikulikwa mumwoto wa machoba gangunganikwa ubile na maboko goti na magolo goti. (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 Liyo lyako mana likukoseyite, ulitupwe na ulitaikwe kutalu ni wenga. Bora kachako wenga ujingii mu uzima na liyo limo, kuliko taikuliwa kumwoto wa masoba yangeyomoka ubile ni minyo yoti. (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 Linga panga kana mwazarau jumo ywa achene baa kwa mana nenda kuwamakiya panga kumaunde kwii na malaika bembe masoba goti, kaba ulolekeya kuminyo kwa Tate bango ywabile kumaunde.
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 Muwaza namani? Mana itei mundu abi na ngondolo mia jimo yumo aobe, Je! aweza kwaleka tisini na tisa ya kitombe na yenda kwapala yolo yumo ywaobite?
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 Na mana amweni, kweli nenda kuwamakiya, alowa kumpulaikya kutiloo tisini na tisa babakotwike obe.
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 Nga nyo mapenzi kwaa ga Tate binu ywa kumaunde panga kati ya yumo ywa achene ba baobe.
Even so, it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should be lost.
15 Mana nongo wako akukoseite, uyende, ukanobe akusami abile kichake. Mana akuyowine wapanga ukelebwiye nnongo'wo.
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 Lakini mana akuyowine kwaa, wapotwe alongo benge abele au atatu mana kwa mikano ya ashahidi abele au atatu kila likowe liweza yomoka.
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 Na mana asalawile kukupekaniya, ulibakiye li'kanisa likowe lyoo, mana asalawite kae kulipekaniya likanisa, bai na abe kati mundu wa dunia na ywalonga ushuru.
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 Kweli nenda kuamakiya, chachatabilwa mu'dunia na kumaunde kilabilwe na chochote chachayongoyelwe mu'dunia na kumaunde kiyongolike.
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 Kae nenda kuamakiya panga bandu kati yinu mana bayeketyaniye kunani ya kikowe lyolyote mu'dunia kabaloba, halyo
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 Tate bango ba kunani alowa panga. Kwa mwanja abele au atatu mana bakusawike pamope kwa lina lyangi, Ne nibi pakati kati yabe.
For where there are two or three that have come together for my sake, there I am in the midst of them.
21 Na Petro kaisa na kummakiya Yesu, “Ngwana, mara ilenga nongo wango mana anikoseite na nenga nimsami? Hata mara saba?
Then Peter came to him, and said: Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?
22 Yesu kammakiya, “Nikubakiya kwa mara saba, lakini hata sabaini mara saba.
Jesus said to him: I say to you, Not till seven times, but till seventy times seven.
23 Kwa mwanza nyo utawala wa kumaunde ni sawa na tawala pulani ywapalage lekebisha esabu buka kwa atumwa bake.
For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is likened to a king that wished to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Paatumbwi lekebisha esabu, mtumwa yumo batikunnetya kachake na ywembe alonge lwage talanta elfu komi.
And when he began to make a settlement, there was brought to him one that owed him ten thou sand talents.
25 Mana abile nacho kwaa Cleopata, Ngwana wake alangi apemeyelwe, nyumbowe bana bake na kila kilebe chabile nacho, na alepe.
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 Nga aywo mmanda ngalabukya, apiyite magoti nnongi yake kabaya, “Ngwana unipumiliye nenga, nalowa kukulepa kila kilebe'.
Therefore, the servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, Lord, and I will pay you all.
27 Nga aywo Ngwana wa mmanda ywo, mana abina uruma, atikunneka na kusamwa deni lyo
And the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and let him go, and forgave him the debt.
28 Lakini mmanda ywo atiboka na kumpata mmanda yumo katika amanda benge, ywa nnongage dinari mia. Atikumwuta, na kunkaba pa'ingo, na kumakiya, “Unilepe chanikulenga.'
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 Lakini yolo mmanda ywenge atikukilikitya ni kunnoba muno, kabaya, “Unipumiliye, nalowa kukulepa.”
Then his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
30 Lakini mmanda ywa kwanza atikana. Badala yake ayei kuntaba kuligereza, paka palepa deni lyake.
And he would not; but went and threw him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 Pababweni amanda wenge chelo chakipangite. Batikasirika muno Batiisa ni kummakiya Ngwana wabe kila kilebe chakipitike.
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 Boka po ngwana wa atmanda yolo ankemite, ni kummakiya,'wenga wa mmanda mmaya, nitikusamya wenga lideni lyako lyoti kwa mwanja wati niloba muno.
Then his lord called him and said to him: Wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you besought me.
33 Ywabile ni wenga ukaba na huruma kwa mmanda nyino kati nenga mwanikuhurumiye wenga?
Ought you not to have had mercy on your fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on you?
34 Ngwana wake atikasirika muno ni kwapeya askari watesa mpaka apalepa lideni lyake.
And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all that was due him.
35 Eyo nga Tate bango ba kumaunde ngabalowa panga, manaite nkolikwe samyana mwalongo sika kwa mwoyo winu”.
So also will my heavenly Father do to you, if, from your hearts, you forgive not every one his brother’s offenses.
