Matthew 18
1 At that time the disciples approached Jesus saying, “Who then is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?”
I A manawa, hele aku la ka poe haumana io Iesu la, i aku la, Owai la ka mea nui loa iloko o ke aupuni o ka lani?
2 So Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,
Kahea aku la o Iesu i wahi keiki uuku, hooku ae la ia ia iwaenakonu o lakou,
3 and said: “Assuredly I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of the heavens.
I mai la, He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, ina aole oukou i hoohuliia'e, a e like hoi me na keiki uuku, aole loa oukou e komo iloko o ke aupuni o ka lani.
4 Therefore whoever will humble himself like this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.
O ka mea hoohaahaa ia ia iho e like me keia keiki, oia ka nui loa iloko o ke aupuni o ka lani.
5 “Whoever receives one little child like this in my name, receives me;
O ka mea launa aku i kekahi keiki e like me keia no ko'u inoa, oia ke launa mai ia'u.
6 but whoever should cause one of these little ones who believe into me to fall, it would be better for him if a large millstone were hung on his neck and he were drowned in the depth of the sea!
Aka, o ka mea hoohihia aku i kekahi o keia poe mea uuku o ka poe manaoio mai ia'u, e aho nona ke nakinakiia ka pohaku wili palaoa ma kona a-i, a e hoopaholoia oia i kahi hohonu o ke kai.
7 Woe to the world because of offenses! Now it is necessary that offenses come, but woe to that person by whom the offense comes!
Auwe ko ke ao nei no na hoohihia ana! E hiki io mai no na hihia; aka, auwe ke kanaka nana e hoohihia mai!
8 “If your hand or your foot is causing you to fall, cut them off and throw them away! It is better for you to enter into the life lame or maimed than to be thrown into the everlasting fire, having two hands or two feet. (aiōnios g166)
Ina e hoohibia mai kou lima a o kou wawae paha ia oe, e oki iho ia mea, a e hoolei aku; e aho nou e komo oopa oe, a mumuku paha iloko o ke ola, i ole e hoolei pu ia'ku oe me kou mau lima elua, a me na wawae elua iloko o ke ahi mau loa. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if your eye is causing you to fall, tear it out and throw it away! It is better for you to enter into the life one eyed than to be thrown into the fiery Hell, having two eyes. (Geenna g1067)
Ina paha e hoohihia mai kou maka ia oe, e poalo ae, a hoolei aku; e aho nou e komo makahi oe iloko o ke ola, i ole e hooleiia oe me na maka elua iloko o ke ahi o Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
10 “See to it that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father, who is in the heavens.
E ao oukou, mai hoowahawaha mai i kekahi o keia poe mea uuku: no ka mea, ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, e nana mau ana ko lakou poe anela i ka lani i ka helehelena o ko'u Makua i ka lani.
11 For the Son of the Man came to save the lost.
A ua hele mai nei ke Keiki a ke kanaka e hoola i ka mea i auwana.
12 What do you think? If some man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains to go and search for the stray?
Heaha ko oukou manao? Ina paha hookahi haneri hipa a kekahi kanaka, a ua auwana kekahi o lakou, aole anei ia e waiho i ka poe kanaiwakumamaiwa, a hele aku ma na mauna e imi i ka mea i nalowale?
13 And if he happens to find it, assuredly I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
Ina paha e loaa oia ia ia, he oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, ua oi aku kona olioli no ua hipa la, i ka olioli no na hipa he kanaiwakumamaiwa aole i auwana.
14 Likewise it is not a desire, in the view of your Father in heaven, that one of these little ones should be wasted.
Pela hoi, aole e makemake ko oukou Makua i ka lani e lilo aku kekahi o keia poe mea uuku.
15 “Now if your brother sins against you, go, confront him between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have won your brother.
Ina e hana hewa mai kou hoahanau ia oe, e hele oe e ao aku ia ia olua wale no. A i hoolohe mai oia ia oe, ua loaa ia oe kou hoahanau.
16 But should he not hear, take along with you one or two more, so that every word may be established by the mouth of two or three witnesses.
A i hoolohe ole mai oia ia oe, e kono aku me oe i hookahi i elua paha, i maopopo ai kela olelo keia olelo ma ka waha o na mea ike maka elua a ekolu paha.
17 And should he refuse to hear them, tell it to the congregation. But should he refuse to hear even the congregation, let him be to you just like the heathen and the tax collector.
Ina paha e hoolohe ole kela ia laua, alaila, e hai aku ia mea i ka ekalesia; a ina paha e hoolohe ole ia i ka ekalesia no hoi, e hoohalike oe ia ia me ke kanaka e, a me ka lunaauhau.
18 “Assuredly I say to you, whatever (pl.) you (pl.) may bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you may loose on earth will have been loosed in heaven.
He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, O na mea a oukou e hoopaa ai ma ka honua nei, e hoopaaia hoi lakou ma ka lani; a o na mea a oukou e kala ai ma ka honua nei, e kalaia no hoi lakou ma ka lani.
19 Assuredly again, I say to you that if two of you should agree on earth about any subject whatever that they may ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
Eia hou, Ke olelo aku nei hoi au ia oukou, ina paha elua o oukou ma ka honua nei e manao like i kekahi mea a laua e noi ai, e haawiia'ku hoi ia na laua e ko'u Makua i ka lani.
20 Because where there are two or three gathered together into my name, there I am in their midst!”
No ka mea, ma kahi e halawai ai na mea elua a ekolu paha ma ko'u inoa, malaila hoi au iwaena pu me lakou.
21 Then Peter approached Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him; up to seven times?”
Alaila, hele aku la o Petero io na la, i aku la, E ka Haku, ehia na hana hewa ana mai a ko'u hoahanau ia'u, a kala aku au ia ia? ehiku anei?
22 Jesus says to him: “Not, I tell you, up to seven, but up to seventy-seven times!
Olelo mai la o Iesu ia ia, Ke i aku nei au ia oe, Aole ehiku wale no; aka, he kanahiku hiku.
23 “Therefore the kingdom of the heavens is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
No ia mea, ua like ke aupuni o ka lani me kekahi alii, ka i manao iho e olelo hoakaka me kana poe kauwa no ka lakou aie ana.
24 And as he began to settle up, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
I ka hoomaka ana e hoakaka ai, ua kaiia mai kekahi mea aie io na la, he umi tausani na talena kana i aie ai.
25 But since he had nothing with which to repay, his lord commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and everything he had, so as to be repaid.
Aole hoi ana mea e uku aku ai; kauoha aku la kona haku e kuai lilo ia'ku oia me kana wahine, a me kana mau keiki, a me kana mea a pau loa, i loaa'i ka uku.
26 So then the servant fell down and did obeisance to him saying, ‘Lord, be patient with me and I will repay you all.’
Moe iho la ua kauwa la, hoomaikai aku la ia ia, i aku la, E ka haku, e ahonui mai oe ia'u, a e uku aku au ia oe ia mea a pau loa.
27 So the lord of that servant, having compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.
Aloha mai la ka haku i ua kauwa la, kuu mai la ia ia, a kala mai la i kana aie.
28 “But when that servant went out he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and grabbing him he started choking him saying, ‘Pay me back what you owe!’
Hele aku la ua kauwa la iwaho, a halawai me kekahi hoakauwa ona, i aie mai i kana i hookahi haneri denari, lalau aku la ia ia, a umi iho la i kona a-i, i aku la, E uku mai oe ia'u i kau mea i aie.
29 So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and kept begging him saying, ‘Be patient with me and I will pay you back.’
Moe iho la kona hoakauwa ma kona wawae, noi mai la ia ia, i mai la, E ahonui mai oe ia'u, a e uku aku au ia oe ia mea a pau loa.
30 But he would not; instead he went and threw him into prison until he should pay back what was owed.
Aole ia i ae aku; aka, hele aku la ia, a hoolei aku la ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao, a pau loa ka aie i ka ukuia.
31 But when his fellow servants saw what had happened they were really grieved, and they went and reported to their lord everything that had happened.
A ike ae la kona mau hoakauwa i ka mea ana i hana'i, minamina loa iho la lakou; a hele lakou, hai aku la i ko lakou haku i na mea a pau i hanaia.
32 Then summoning him the lord says to him: ‘Malignant servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
Alaila, kahea aku la kona haku ia ia, i aku la, E ke kauwa ino, ua kala aku no au i kau aie a pau, i kou noi ana mai ia'u;
33 Were you also not obligated to have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’
Aole anei i pono nou ke aloha aku i kou hoakauwa, me a'u i aloha aku ai ia oe?
34 So in anger the lord handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed to him.
Huhu aku la kona haku, a haawi aku la ia ia i ka poe kiai halepaahao, a pau loa ae la kana aie i ka ukuia.
35 “My heavenly Father will handle you just like that, if each of you does not forgive his brother his trespasses, from the heart.”
Pela hoi i ko'u Makua i ka lani e hana aku ai ia oukou, ina aole oukou a pau e kala aku me ko oukou naau i na hala o ko oukou poe hoahanau.
