Matiyu 18

1 Nanya kubi kurume nono katwa me da kitin Yisa iworo ghe, “Ghari udiawe nanya kipin tigo Kutellẹ?”

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?

2 Yisa yicila gono kibene adak kitime, ayisa ghe kiyitik mine,

And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,

3 anin woro, “Kidegene ndin belle munu se anung nsuna alapi mine iso nafo nono nibebene, anung ghe nan nya nkolome libau na iwasa ise upiru kipin tigo Kutellẹ ba.

And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Bara nani vat ulle na a toltuno litime nafo gono, kibene kane unit une amere udiawe nan nya kipin tigo Kutellẹ.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.

5 Nin ullenge na asere nkang gono kibene nan nya lisa nighe, asere mereku.

And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

6 Vat nle na ata warum nan nya nibebene nane na iyinna nin mi, ita kulapi, uba katinghe iyaun litala lidia iterighe nto, inin turunghe nan nya kuli kudia kiti kicacam.

But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Kash udu uyi bara kubin ntirzuari! bara uso doleari kubi kone ba dak bara ame!

Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.

8 Assa ucara sa kubunu fe, bba tifi utiro, werne unin ufilig pit kitife, uba katinfi usee ulai nin kagiisin kidowo, ninworu itufi nan nya nla so ligan uyiita nin ncara sa abunu fe vat. (aiōnios g166)

And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)

9 Assa iyizife bba tiifi utiro, herina linin ufilin kitife, uba katinfi use ulaii nin liyizi lirum, nin woru itufi nan nya nla sa ligun nin niiyizi fe ib. (Geenna g1067)

And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)

10 Yenjen na iwa yassu warum nan nya kitene kane nono kadura Kutellẹ mine ko kome kubi idi nyenju nmoru ncif nighe ulle na adi kitene kani.

See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

11 Bara gono nnit na dak ada tucu nalenge na ina wulu.

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

12 Iyaghari idi nkpilize? Asa umon unit dinin nakam akalt likure, kurum nanye nwulu, na aba cinu akalt likure udiru kuurume kitene kikup adi piziru kone na kuna wulu ba?

What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that which is gone astray?

13 Andi ase kunin, kidegen ndi nbellu munu, liburi libo me kitene kukam kurume bba katinu nin gbardang kitene nakam akalt likure udiru kurum na kuna wulu ba.

And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.

14 Nan nya nanere, na usun Ncif mine allenge nadi kutenit kane warum nan nya nibebene nai nanna ba.

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

15 Asa gwana fine ntafi kulapi, durso ghe utanu me, anung ligan mine, cas, asa a lanza fi, utuucu gwana fine.

But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.

16 Andi na a lanzafi ba, yira nuwa na fine unit kiti nwanana urum sa anwaba ido kitime bara iyizi nawaba sa awaatat sa ko lome lugbulang base uyisinu.

And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.

17 Asa anari ulanza nanan dortu Yisa, awa nari ulanzu nanan dortu Yisa, na ame so kitife nnafo kulumai sa unan sesen ngandu.

And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.

18 Kidegene re ndin bellu minu, vat nile imon na itere nan nya nnye, iba teru kitene kane, nin vat nile imon na ibunku nnye nanere iba bunku kitene kane.

Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.

19 Ukpiine ku ndi bellu munu asa an wada nwa yinin nin nimon ule na iba tirrinu menku nan nya nnyi ucif nighe ulle na adi kitene kane bba su nani mun.

Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning any thing whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven.

20 Bara kiti ka na awaba sa an watat nzuro nan nya lisa nigh, ndi nanghinu.”

For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

21 Nin nani Bitrus da ada belle Yisa ku, “Cikilari, udu timashinari gwana nighba sui kulapi meng shawa muna? udu so kuzora?”

Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22 Yisa bellinghe, “Nna meng na bellinfi udu kuzor ba, uduru akalt kuzorii sau kuzor.

Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.

23 Bara nani, kipin tigo Kutellẹ di nafo umon ugo, na awa dinin su asu kibatiza nan nacin me.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.

24 Kubi ka na awa acizina kibatize, ida nin nkon kucin me ulle na ame din dortughe titalent amui likure.

And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.

25 Bara na awa idinin libau nbiuwe ba, Cikilari me na uduka idi lewuughe nin nwane a none umunu vat nile iimon na adumun, ida biyaghe.

And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.

26 Ame kucine dio kutyin, atumuno nbuun me aworo, 'Ccikilari, tursui limuri meng ba biyufi imonẹ vat.'

But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

27 Nin nani, Cikilari kucine, atinna alanza nkunekune me, bunkun ghe, shawan nin nre me.

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

28 Ame kucin kone nuzu ase umon udone licin me ulle na ame din dortu ghe idinari likalt akifo ghe kusholshok, a woroghe, 'Blayi imon ile na ndi ndortu fi.'

But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.

29 Ame udone licinne dio kutyin, adi fo ghe nacara aworo, 'Ta ayi ashau nin mi nba biufi.'

And his fellow servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

30 Ame kucin nburne nari, nin nani, ayiraghe atoghe licin, udu kubi ko na aba biughe ule imon na adin dortu ghe.

And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.

31 Kubii na adone licin nyene ile imon na asu, ayi mine nana. Ida idi belle Cikilari mine vat nile imon na asu.

Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came and told their lord all that was done.

32 Cikilari kucin kone yicila ghe, a bellinghe, 'Fe vat bara uwa sui kuculu.

Then his lord called him; and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:

33 Na fe nwasa ulanza nkunekune ndofine kucine ba? Nafo na meng na lanza nkunekune fe?'

Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?

34 Cikilarri me wa nanna ayi ninghe, a nakpa ghe nacara nanan nfo nanit udu kubi ko na aba biu imon ile na idi ndortu ghe.

And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.

35 Nanere wang ucif nighe kitene kani, ba su anunku, asa na anug ba shawa nin nalapi nuana nan nya nibinai mine ba.

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