Matthew 18
1 In that hour came, the disciples unto Jesus, saying—Who then is, greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens?
Lanyognu, ke bi ŋɔdkaaba nagni Jesu kani, ki buali o “ŋma n yabi ki cie U Tienu Diema nni?”
2 And, calling near a child, he set it in the midst of them,
Ke Jesu yini ki biñidga o kani, ki seni ga bi siiga, ki yedi, “N maadi yi i mɔni, I yaa lebdi ki tua nani biwaaga yeni, i kan baa ya sanu ke i ba kua U Tienu Diema nni
3 and said—Verily, I say unto you, Except ye turn and become as the children, in nowise, shall ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, the same, is the greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens;
Lanwani ii, yua n miini o yuli nani ki biwaaga ne, wani n yabi ki cie U Tienu Diema nni.
5 And, whosoever shall give welcome unto one such child as this, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome.
Yua n ga biwaaga nani kine yeni, n yeli po, o ga n ya cangu i.
6 And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones who believe in me, it profiteth him, that there be hung a large mill-stone about his neck, and he be sunk in the wide main of the sea.
Ama, yua n cedi ke biwaaga yua n dugi n po nani kine yeni, kua tuonbiadi nni, li bi baa tu o po, ke ban loli li naacianli o tulu nni, ki lu o wan mii mi ñincianma nni.
7 Alas for the world! by reason of the causes of stumbling; for it is, necessary, that the causes of stumbling come, —nevertheless, alas for the man through whom the cause of stumbling cometh!
Mi yema ya paagi, janjanma ŋanduna po! kelima li buali ke li yogu n pundi, ama, sola li yogu ń ba tɔgni yua ya kani, ki pundi!
8 But, if, thy hand or thy foot, be causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly for thee, to enter into life, maimed or lame, rather than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the age-abiding fire. (aiōnios g166)
A nugu bii a taali ya kuandi a mi tudma nni, ŋan jia ki lu fagma. Li baa tu a po ŋan kua U Tienu diema nni yeni taayenli bii nuuendu ki cei yeni ban lu ŋa ya mu n ki pia gbindma buogu nni yeni taana lie bii nugi lie. (aiōnios g166)
9 And, if, thine eye, causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly, for thee, one-eyed, into life, to enter, rather than, having two eyes, to be cast into the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
A nunbu n ya kuandi a mi tudma nni, ŋan kpigdi bu, ki lu fagma. Kelima li baa tu a po ŋan kua U Tienu Diema nni yeni nunfiagu ki cie ba lu ŋa ya mu n ki pia gbindma buogu nni yeni nuni lie kuli. (Geenna g1067)
10 Beware! do not despise one of these little ones; For I say unto you—that, their messengers in the heavens, do, continually, behold the face of my Father in the heavens.
Fangi mani i yuli, ki da ŋa a bila ne siiga, bá biyenga nunga ń ŋmidi. Kelima n maadi yi i mɔni ke ŋajanli nni, bi malekinba nua N Báa yua nye U Tienu diema nni.
ke lima, O Nilo Bijua cua ki bua faabi yaali n bodi i.
12 How, to you, doth it seem? If a certain man come to have a hundred sheep and one from among them go astray, Will he not leave the ninety-nine upon the mountains, and going, seek the straying one?
I maalma tie be i? Nilo ya pia yandi yiani, ke yanyenga bodi, o kan ŋa piiyia n yandi yia yaadi n sieni, ki lingi ki yanbodkaaga aa?
13 And, if it should be that he find it, Verily, I say unto you—He rejoiceth over it, more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.
O ya la ga, N maadi yi i mɔmɔni, o pali yi mangi li yanga po ki cie piiya n yandi yia yaadi n ki bodi.
14 Thus, there is no desire, in the presence of my Father who is in the heavens, that, one of these little ones, should be lost.
Li tie yeni i, I báa yua n ye ŋaljanli nni mo ki bua ke a bbila ne nni, bá biyenga ń bia.
15 But, if thy brother sin, withdraw, convince him, betwixt thee and him, alone, —If unto thee he hearken, thou hast gained thy brother;
A kpiilo ya biidi a, ŋan gedi ki waani o o biidi, fini yeni wani siiga, a ba maadi ki paadi a kpiilo i.
16 But, if he do not hearken, take with thee, yet one or two, that, at the mouth of two witnesses or three, every declaration, maybe established;
Ama, o ya ki cengi a, ŋan la yendo bii bilie ki pugni a po, ban taani a yeni, kasiedinba bilie bii bitaa siiga, mi maama ba ŋmagdi.
17 But, if he hear them amiss, tell it to the assembly, —And, if, even the assembly, he hear amiss, Let him be unto thee, just as the man of the nations and the tax-collector.
O ya yie kaa cengi yi, ŋan gedi yeni li maama li nitaali nni. O ya yie kaa cengi li nitaanli, ŋan ŋa o wan tua a po nani o nilamo bii o lonpogaalo yeni.
18 Verily, I say unto you—Whatsoever things ye shall bind on the earth, shall be bound in heaven; and, whatsoever things ye shall loose on the earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
I mɔmɔni, N maadi yi, yin ba loli yaali tinga nni, li ba loli Tanpoli, yin ba lodi yaali ting nni, li ba lodi Tanpoli.
19 Again, [verily] I say unto you—If two from among you shall agree upon the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be brought to pass for them, from my Father who is in the heavens;
N go maadi yi ke i siiga nni, bilie ya taani jagli ki mia bonli ki tinga nni ne, N Báa yua n ye Tanpoli ba cedi li bonli ń tieni.
20 For, where there are two or three, gathered together into my name, there, am I, in their midst.
Kelima, bilie bii bitaa ya taani naani n yeli po, n baa ye bi siiga.
21 Then, coming near, Peter said [to him]—Lord! how many times, shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until, seven, times?
Ke Piari nagni ki buali Jesu, “O Diedo, n kpiilo ya biidi nni, n ba mia sugli taalma ŋa i? Hali taalma lele ee?”
22 Jesus saith to him—I say not unto thee, unto, seven, times, but, until seventy times seven.
Ke Jesu jiini o, “N ki yedi taalma lele ka, ama hali piilele taalma lele.
23 For this cause, hath the kingdom of the heavens become like unto a man, a king, who wished to settle an account with his servants;
Lanwani ii, U Tienu Diema tie nani ya badciamo n den bua tieni li cɔli ki bandi o naacenba ń kubi o piama maama i.
24 And, when he, began, to settle, there was brought unto him a, certain, debtor, of a thousand talents;
Wan cili mi diidma, o sua ke naacenyendo kua li panli nni hali ligdibala tuda piiga.
25 and, he, not having, wherewith to pay, the master ordered him to be sold, and the wife, and the children, and whatsoever he had, —and payment to be made.
Nani wan den ki pia wan ba tieni maama ki pa yeni, ke canbaa niini ke ban kuadi o wani yeni o pua yeni o bila yeni wai yaali kuli, ki pa o panli.
26 The servant therefore, falling down, began to do homage unto him, saying—Have patience with me, and, all, will I pay thee.
Ke li naaciemo baá ki gbaani o nintuali, ki mia o sugli, “Canbaa, N bani li panli po, ke N ba pa likuli”
27 And, moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him, and, the loan, he, forgave, him.
Nani li naaciemo canbaa ń bo tie niñinpadi daano yeni, ke o ga o sugli, ki cabi o li panli.
28 But that servant, going out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him, a hundred denaries, and, laying hold of him, he began seizing him by the throat, saying, Pay! if anything thou owest.
Ama, li naacimo ń ñani ki la o naacenlielo ke o pia o pia o panli kuukobga. Ke o gedi ki cegi o tulu, ki yedi o, “Pa nni n ligi.
29 His fellow servant, therefore, falling down, began beseeching him, saying, Have patience with me! And I will pay thee.
Ke o naacenlielo baa ki gbaani, ki mia o sugli ki maadi, “Tieni n po juunli, n ba pa ŋa.”
30 He, however, would not, but went away and cast him into prison, —until he should pay what was owing.
Ama, ke o naaciemo yie, ki cuo o naacenlielo ki gedi ki luoni o li kpaadidieli nni, ke o yaa pani o panli, o kan ña.
31 His fellow-servants, therefore, seeing, the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, —and went and made quite plain to their master all the things which had been done.
Bi naacenlieba ń la yaali n tieni, ke bi pali sia, ke bi kua ki togdi bi canbaa kaa dɔgni o bápu.
32 Then, calling him near, his master saith unto him—O wicked servant! All that debt, forgave I thee, because thou didst beseech me.
Ke o naaciemo canbaa yini o, ki yedi o, “N cabi a ŋan pia nni ya panli kuli, kelima a mia nni sugli.
33 Was it not binding, upon thee also, to have mercy upon thy fellow-servant, as, I also, on thee, had mercy?
Nani a naacenlielo ń mia ŋa sugli yeni, fini bi kan fidi ki cabi o oo?
34 And, provoked to anger, his master delivered him up to the torturers, until he should pay all that was owing.
O canbaa pali den beni o po, ke o cuo o, ki mubni o a jakɔnda nui nni ke bi waani o fala hali ke o pani o panli kuli.
35 Thus, my heavenly Father also, will do unto you, if ye forgive not each one his brother, from your hearts.
N Báa yua n ye Tanpoli mo ba tieni yi yeni, li ya tie ke i siiga nilo pali ki siadi o lielo po.
