Matthew 18
1 At that time the disciples approached Jesus saying, “Who then is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?”
Leleꞌ naa, Yesus ana mana tungga nara reu ratane mbali E rae, “Amaꞌ! Seka monaeꞌ lenaꞌ mia basa Lamatualain atahori nara?”
2 So Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,
Boe ma Yesus noꞌe nala anadꞌikiꞌ sa, de naririi e neu taladꞌa nara.
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.
Basa ma Ana olaꞌ nae, “Rena malolole! Atahori mana nau masoꞌ dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ atahorin, ana musi ubꞌa dudꞌuꞌan dei, fo dadꞌi onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ nda mana nahine soꞌu-soꞌuꞌ aon sa.
4 Therefore whoever will humble himself like this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.
Huu atahori mana maloe-madꞌae ralaꞌ onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ ia, eni atahori monaeꞌ lenaꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ matan.
5 “Whoever receives one little child like this in my name, receives me;
Boe ma atahori mana simbo atahori anak onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ ia, huu namahere neu Au, na, atahori naa simbo Au ena.”
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!
Basa ma Yesus nafadꞌe se fai nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori tao anadꞌikiꞌ esa tungga dala salaꞌ, losa ana nda namahere Au sa ena, na besa-bꞌesa, o! Malole lenaꞌ atahori paꞌa fatu monaeꞌ sa, neu boton, fo neꞌetetenaꞌ e tasi rala neu.
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!
Raefafoꞌ ia memaꞌ mamana deꞌulakaꞌ, huu hambu dalaꞌ hetar mana tao atahori tudꞌa salaꞌ rala reu. Te atahori mana hambu sosoeꞌ seli, naeni atahori mana tao atahori laen tudꞌa salaꞌ.
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)
Mete ma tao salaꞌ mendiꞌ limam, do, eim, na, nggero hendi e! Huu malole lenaꞌ sorga muu mendiꞌ a limam seri, do, eim seri, afiꞌ losa ara nggari nggo misiꞌ ai naraka rala muu mo limam ma eim ruꞌa se. (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)
Mete ma, tao salaꞌ mendiꞌ matam, na edꞌo hendi e! Huu malole lenaꞌ masoꞌ sorga muu mo matam esaꞌ a, afiꞌ losa ara nggari nggo misiꞌ ai naraka muu mo matam ruꞌa se.” (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.
Yesus olaꞌ fai nae, “Besa-bꞌesa, o! Afiꞌ losa hei miloe-midꞌae anadꞌikiꞌ onaꞌ ia. Huu Lamatuaꞌ aten mana sia sorga ranea se. Ma ate naa ra sudꞌi a reu fain sa, fo rafadꞌe soꞌal atahori ia ra dala nara neu Lamatualain mana sia sorga.
11 For the Son of the Man came to save the lost.
Ama duꞌa malolole, te Au ae fee nekendandaaꞌ taꞌo ia: hambu atahori sa bibꞌi lombon natun esa. Faiꞌ sa ma, hambu bibꞌi lombo sa lao leli, tunggaꞌ a dalan. Naa, ama duꞌa mae manatadꞌa a musi tao saa? Neꞌo Ana lao hela bibꞌi lombon ka 99 nara sia leteꞌ fo neu sangga bibꞌi lombo ka esaꞌ mana mopoꞌ naa. Mete ma ana hambu baliꞌ ena, na ana namahoꞌo mete bibꞌi lombo ka esaꞌ fo ana nita baliꞌ naa lena mia bibꞌi lombo ka 99 fo nda mana mopoꞌ ra sa. [Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, uma fo ae fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori mana lao leliꞌ mia dala ndo-tetuꞌ a.]
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?
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.
14 Likewise it is not a desire, in the view of your Father in heaven, that one of these little ones should be wasted.
Dadꞌi mae akaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ sa mopo o, Au Ama ngga sia sorga nda namahoꞌo sa.”
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.
Yesus olaꞌ fai nae, “Mete ma toronoom atahori mamahereꞌ ra tao salaꞌ neu nggo, na, musi muu mundaa mo e. Mete ma akaꞌ ruꞌa nggi, dei fo feꞌe mufadꞌe salan. Mete ma ana rena oꞌolam, na, hei ruꞌa nggi malole baliꞌ ena.
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.
Te mete ma ana nda nau rena nggo sa, na, muu moꞌe mala nonoom atahori esa do rua fo mimiloloꞌ mii. Mii mindaa mo atahori naa, fo olaꞌ mo e fai. Huu sia Lamatuaꞌ susura Meumaren nenesuraꞌ oi, ‘Sia dedꞌeat esa, musi hambu sakasii rua do telu mana olaꞌ ona esaꞌ, dei fo feꞌe na simbo dedꞌea-oꞌola nara.’
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.
Te mete ma ana nda feꞌe nau rena oꞌola mara sa, na, mii mifadꞌe jamaꞌat. Mete ma ana o nda feꞌe nau simbo no maloleꞌ jamaꞌat ra oꞌolan, sa, na, duꞌa mae ana onaꞌ atahori nda feꞌe nahine Lamatuaꞌ sa. Mete ma hokoꞌ, duꞌa mae deꞌulakan onaꞌ mana edꞌa bꞌea ra.
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.
Misinedꞌa malolole Au oꞌola ngga ia, e! Saa fo hei ena-ai sia raefafoꞌ ia, naa Lamatuaꞌ ena-ai sia sorga ena. Ma saa fo hei fee isin sia raefafoꞌ ia, naa Lamatuaꞌ fee isin sia sorga ena boe.
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.
Ma Au ufadꞌe seluꞌ ae, mete ma hambu atahori rua sia hei hule-oꞌe no ralaꞌ esa, dei fo Au Ama ngga sia sorga fee se saa fo ara roꞌeꞌ a.
20 Because where there are two or three gathered together into my name, there I am in their midst!”
Mete ma hambu atahori rua do telu raꞌabꞌue fo hule-oꞌe reu esa, huu sira, Au atahori nggara, na, Au o sia taladꞌa nara boe.”
21 Then Peter approached Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him; up to seven times?”
Basa naa ma, Petrus nema natane Yesus nae, “Papa, au ae utane mbei. Mete ma toronoo ngga atahori mamahereꞌ tao salaꞌ nasafafali mbali au, na, au musi fee ambon neu e lao hira? Lao hitu, do?”
22 Jesus says to him: “Not, I tell you, up to seven, but up to seventy-seven times!
Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ! Musi fee ambon neu e losa hitu lao hitu nulu, losa nda bisa ito reken mala sa ena.
23 “Therefore the kingdom of the heavens is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Ama musi tao tungga taꞌo naa, huu Lamatualain onaꞌ maneꞌ esa mana ito-reken pagau nara huta-buku nara.
24 And as he began to settle up, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
Leleꞌ Ana ito-reken ma, ana denu atahorin esa neu noꞌe pagawen esa mana nahuta doiꞌ mbali e, losa juta-juta.
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.
Te pagawe a nda bae nala huta-bukun sa. Dadꞌi maneꞌ a parenda nae, ‘Mii seo atahori ia no basa sao ana nara, fo ara dadꞌi ate. Boe ma seo mibasaꞌ hata-heto nara, fo bae neu huta-buku nara.’
26 So then the servant fell down and did obeisance to him saying, ‘Lord, be patient with me and I will repay you all.’
Rena taꞌo naa, ma pagawe naa naloe aon de sendeꞌ lululanggan neu maneꞌ a matan, de kokoe e nae, ‘Aduu! Amaꞌ, e! Ama maneꞌ tulun fee fai mbei neu au dei do! Dei fo au fee baliꞌ basa huta nggara.’
27 So the lord of that servant, having compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.
Maneꞌ a rena nala onaꞌ naa ma, ana kasian e. Boe ma ana nggaris memaꞌ hendi basa pagau naa huta nara. Boe ma ana mboꞌi hendi pagawe naa.
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!’
Te leleꞌ pagawe naa dea neu, ma nandaa no nonoon esa nahuta e doiꞌ mbei. Boe ma ana toꞌu nala nonoon, de mese nggara boten ma bua e nae, ‘Weh! Faiꞌ ia bae huta ma leo!’
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.’
Nonoon rena nala onaꞌ naa ma, ana naloe aon fo sendeꞌ lululanggan de kokoe e nae, ‘Aduu! toronooꞌ, e! Tulun fee fai mbei nema au dei! Dei fo au bae huta ngga.’
30 But he would not; instead he went and threw him into prison until he should pay back what was owed.
Te pagawe naa nae, ‘Nda bisa sa! Akaꞌ faiꞌ ia musi bae!’ Basa ma ana nendi nonoon bui rala neu, losa ana bae nabasaꞌ hutan.
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.
Leleꞌ maneꞌ a pagawe laen nara rita saa fo manadadꞌiꞌ naa, ma rala nara susa. De basa ma reu rafadꞌe neu maneꞌ a.
32 Then summoning him the lord says to him: ‘Malignant servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
Maneꞌ a rena nala onaꞌ naa ma, ana noꞌe pagawe naa, de olaꞌ nae, ‘Hee, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ! Huu moꞌe Au kasian nggo, naa de au nggaris hendi basa huta-buku mara.
33 Were you also not obligated to have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’
Te taꞌo bee de nda muꞌena kasian neu nonoom sa, onaꞌ au kasian neu nggo ena to?’
34 So in anger the lord handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed to him.
Maneꞌ a namue, losa ana denu atahori tao e bꞌui rala neu, fo ara poko-paru e, losa ana bae nabasaꞌ huta-buku nara.”
35 “My heavenly Father will handle you just like that, if each of you does not forgive his brother his trespasses, from the heart.”
Boe ma Yesus nateꞌe dudꞌuit na, ma nafadꞌe nae, “Naa, Au Ama ngga sia sorga boe o ito-reken onaꞌ naa boe. Dei fo Ana hukun nggi, mete ma ama nda liliiꞌ tebꞌe-tebꞌe hendiꞌ hei toronoo atahori mamahere mara sala-kilu nara sa.”
