< Matthew 18 >

1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
Isala zezyo zezyo abhanafunzi bhenza wha Yesu na humozye, “Yu nanu waligosi huwo mwene wa humwanya?”
2 Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
U Yesu akwizya umwana udodo, ameha pakasi yawo,
3 and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
na yanje, “Lyoli ihumbawozya, nkagamtubu na bhe hansi abhana abhadodo sagamwayiweza hawhinjile huwomwene wa Ngolobhi.
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Nesho wowonti wawhiha hansi umwana udodo, umuntu hansi oyo gosi huwomwene wa humwanya.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
Na wowonti wahuposhele umwana udodo whitawa lyane ahumposhela nene.
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
Ila wowonti wasababisya uwana kati ya weka abha bhabhahuneteha asaliti, yayibha shinza wha muntu oyo iwe igosi lya syela lipinywe msingo yakwe, na hudwinizye mwidimi li bahari.
7 “Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
Aheli honse husababu yisala izya viswe huje saga hulini budi husala ezyo awhenze, ila ahele whakwe muntu ola isala ezyo zibhawhenze kwa ajili yamwene!
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
Nkesho inyobhe yaho au inama lyaho nkalyasabisizya aviswe lidumule na litaje uhuli nawe. Shinza hani whaho awe ahinjile huwomi luli bila nyobhe au shilema, kuliko atagwe mwimoto wiwila uli ni nyobhe zyonti au amanama gonti. (aiōnios g166)
9 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
Nkesho iliso lyaho livisizye, lisenye na ulitaje uhutali nawe. Shinza hani huliwe awe uinjile huwoni ni liso lyeka kuliko ataywe mumoto wiwila ali na maso gonti. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Enyi aje msanzalau weka wabha dodo ebha. Kwa maana ihumbabhawozya aje humwanya huli antumi abhene insiku zyonti bhawhenya sha Baba wane wali humwanya.
11 For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
(Simisizya: Amazu gagaloleha hansi gimsitali gwa 11, “Kwa kuwa umwana wa Adamu ahenzele awhaule shila shasha tejile” Sagagaloleshe mnakala nyinza zihale).
12 “What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
Msabhanshi? Nkesho umuntu alini ngole mya moja, na yeka yawo yatega, eshi sagabhahuzileshe tisini na tisa mwigamba na abhale afwate yeka yitejile?
13 If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
Na nkayaga, lyoli ihumbawozya, asongwa kuliko zila tisini na tisa zyasaga zitejile.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Shesho shesho, saga lugano lwa Baba wenyu wa humwanya aje weka wa dodo ebha ateketele.
15 “If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
Nkesho uholo waho avisizye, bhalaga, unolesye ishida yeleho awe numene lyali mwene. Nkabhahutejelezye, unzabhe umwezizye uholo waho.
16 But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Ila nkasagabhahutejelezye, mweje, uholo weka au uwabhele hani pamo nawe, humalomu gasimisizi bhabhele au bhatatu kila izu liwezizye asimisizwe.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
Na nkasholonya ahubhatejelezye wozi ishibhanza iswala elyo, nkesho asholanya tena ashitejelezye ishibhanza, eshi na abhe hansi umuntu upagani na unsonkolozya kodi.
18 Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
Lyoli ihumbawozya, shoshonti shila shamwayipinya panse na humwanya shayipinywa. Na shoshonti shamwa yisatula panse na humwanya shayisatulwa.
19 Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
Eshi ihumbawozya aje abhantu bhabhele pakashi yenyu nkabhetehana pamwanya yiswala lyo lyonti panse lya bhasaya, elyo u Baba wane wahumwanya ayihuliwomba.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
Nkabhabha bhabhele au bhatatu wawongene peka whitawa lyane, ene endi pakasi yawo.
21 Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
Tena u Petro ayenza nahumozye Yesu, “Gosi, halenga uhole wane avwisye nane insamehe? Hata mala saba?”
22 Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
U Yesu amozya, “Sigiehuwozya mala saba, ila hata sabini mala saba.
23 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Kwa sababu eyo awomwene wa humwanya ni sawa nu mwene omo wahanzaga asahihi sye ihesabu afume whaboyi bhakwe.
24 When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Lwahanda asahihisye ihesabu, uboyi weka bhaneta whamwene wali ahudayi italanta elfu kumi.
25 But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Afwatanaje sagaali ni dala lyalipe, ugosi wakwe alajizizye akazwe, onse wakwe pamo na bhana bhakwe na hantu honti hali naho, na malipo gafanyishe.
26 The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
Esho uboyi agwiye, akhoma amafugamo whilongo lela lyakwe ayanga, 'Gosi, ubhe na golele pamo nane, na imbahulipe kila hantu.'
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
Esho ugosi wola uboyi, afwatanaje asukumwi we hani ninkombo, anesheye na husamehe iliga elyo.
28 “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
Ila uboyi ola asogoye na humwaje weka kati ya boyi bhakwe, wali ahudayi idinali mia. Akwesa, abida whimilo na humozye, 'Ndipe shila shihudai.
29 “So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
ILa ola uboyi uwamwawo agwiye nahu nsisitizye hani, ayanjile, 'Ubhe nugolele nane, imbahulipe.'
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
Ila uboyi ola wawhande akhanile. Hubadala yakwe, abhalile na huntaje mwijela, hadi lwayihunipa shila shahudayi.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
Na lwabhalola aboyi bhamwawo shila shishifumiye. Bhasononeshwe hani. Bhahenzele na humozye, ugosi wawo shila hantu hatokeye.
32 Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
Ndiyo ola ugosi wa boyi ola akwizizye, na humozye, awe boyi mibhi nasamehile ane iliga lyane lyonti kwa sababu wandabhile hani.
33 Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
Ashi! Sagawahanziwaga abhe ninkombo wha boyi abhamwenyu, hansi ane shanaloleye enkombo awe?
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
Ugosi wakwe avitilwe na humeshe whabhala bhabhayemva hadi lwailipa ishipimo shonti shadayiwaga.
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
Esho shesho Ubaba wane wa humwanya shaihubhawombela, nkesho kila weka wenyu saga ayihusamehe uholo wakwe afume mmoyo genyu.”
