< Matthew 18 >

1 At that hour came the disciples near to Jesus, saying, 'Who, now, is greater in the reign of the heavens?'
Muda bhobhuobhu bhanafunzi bhakahida kwa Yesu ni kun'jobhela, “Niani mbaha mu bhufalme bhwa mbinguni?”
2 And Jesus having called near a child, did set him in the midst of them,
Yesu akankuta mwana n'debe akambheka pagati pa bhene, ni kujobha,
3 and said, 'Verily I say to you, if ye may not be turned and become as the children, ye may not enter into the reign of the heavens;
“Kweli nikabhajobhela, kama mtubwi lepi ni kujha kama bhana bhadebe mwibetalepi kujhingila mu ufalme bhwa K'yara.
4 whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the reign of the heavens.
Hiyo j'hej'hioha j'haikiselesya kama mwana n'debe, munu ojhu ibetakujha mmbaha mu ufalme bhwa K'yara kumbinguni.
5 'And he who may receive one such child in my name, doth receive me,
Na yeyote j'ha ikanjamb'elela muana n'debe kwa lihina lya nene an'jamb'elili nene.
6 and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged upon his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.
Lakini j'hej'hioha j'haibetakusababisya mmonga kati j'ha bhadebe abha bhabhakaniamini kuasi, ibetakuj'ha kinofu kwa munu oj'hu liganga likholo lya kusyaghila likakhongibhwa mu nsingu mwa muene, ni kusopibhwa kul'osi kunyanja.
7 'Woe to the world from the stumbling-blocks! for there is a necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but woe to that man through whom the stumbling-block doth come!
Ole kwa dunia kwa ndabha j'ha bhwakati bhwa kudadisibhwa! kwa kuj'ha haina budi kwa nyakati esu kuhida, lakini ole ghwake kwa munu j'hola nyakati e'su sideta kuhida kwa ndabha j'ha muene!
8 'And if thy hand or thy foot doth cause thee to stumble, cut them off and cast from thee; it is good for thee to enter into the life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast to the fire the age-during. (aiōnios g166)
kama kibhoko kya bhebhe au kigolo kikakusababishilayi kudada, uudumulayi ni kuutagha patali nabhi. Kinofu zaidi kwa bhebhe kujhingila mu bhuzima bila kibhoko au kilema, kuliko kutaghibhwa mu muoto bhwa milele akaj'helayi ni mabhoko ghoha ni magolo ghoha. (aiōnios g166)
9 'And if thine eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee; it is good for thee one-eyed to enter into the life, rather than having two eyes to be cast to the gehenna of the fire. (Geenna g1067)
Kama lihu lya j'hobhi likakudadisiayi ulibhosiayi na ulitaghai kutali nabhi. Na kinofu zaidi kwa bhebhe uj'hingilayi hosi mu bhusima ni lihu limonga, kuliko kutaghibhwa mu muoto bhwa milele ukaj'helayi ni mihu ghoha. (Geenna g1067)
10 'Beware! — ye may not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you, that their messengers in the heavens do always behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens,
Mulangayi kuj'ha musihidi mukan'jimula mmonga wa abha bhadebe. Kwa ndabha nikabhajobhela kuj'ha kumbinguni bhajhele malaika bha bhene magono ghoha bhakabhulanga bhuso bhwa Tata ghwangu j'haaj'hele kumbinguni.
11 for the Son of Man did come to save the lost.
(Zingatilayi: Malobhi ghaghibhonekana kama gha mstari ghwa 11, “Kwa kuj'ha Mwana ghwa Adamu ahidili kuokola khela kyakyaj'haghili” ghabhonekene lepi mu nakala bora sya muandi).
12 'What think ye? if a man may have an hundred sheep, and there may go astray one of them, doth he not — having left the ninety-nine, having gone on the mountains — seek that which is gone astray?
Mwifikirira kiki? Ikaj'hiaghe munu aj'he ni likondoo mia moja, na limonga likajhagha, je ibetakughaleka tisini na tisa kukid'onda ni kulota kulonda limonga lyalijhaghili?
13 and if it may come to pass that he doth find it, verily I say to you, that he doth rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray;
Na akamalayi kulikabha, kweli nikabhajobhela akamfurahia kuliko bhala tisini na tisa bhabhabeli kujhagha.
14 so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.
Fefuefu, sio mapenzi gha Tata ghwinu g'hwa mbinguni kuj'ha mmonga ghwa bhadebe abha ajhangamilayi.
15 'And if thy brother may sin against thee, go and show him his fault between thee and him alone, if he may hear thee, thou didst gain thy brother;
Kama ndongobhu akakuselayi, lotayi, kandasiayi dosari j'haj'hiyele kati ya bhebhe ni muene akaj'helayi muene. Kama ibetakup'helekesya bhwibeta kiujha unkerebhwisi ndongobhu.
16 and if he may not hear, take with thee yet one or two, that by the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may stand.
Lakini kama ibetakubela kup'elekesya ntolayi ndongobhu mmonga au bhabhele zaidi pamonga ni bhebhe kwa kuj'ha kwa vinywa fya mashahidi bhabhele au bhadatu kila lilobhi libhwesya kuthibitishibhwa.
17 'And if he may not hear them, say [it] to the assembly, and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to thee as the heathen man and the tax-gatherer.
Na kama ibetakubhapuuzila kubhap'helekesya, lijobhelayi kanisa khenu ekhu, kama ibetakupuuzila kabhele kulip'helekesya kanisa, basi na aj'helayi kama munu bhwa mataifa ni mtoza ushuru.
18 'Verily I say to you, Whatever things ye may bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever things ye may loose on the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.
Kweli nikabhajobhela, kyokyoha khela kyamwibeta kukidenda kuduniani ni kumbinguni kid'endibhu. na kyokyoha khela kya mwibeta kukidendulila ku duniani ni kumbinguni kid'endulibhu.
19 'Again, I say to you, that, if two of you may agree on the earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask — it shall be done to them from my Father who is in the heavens,
Kabhele nikabhajobhela kama bhanu bhabhele kati j'ha muenga bhakubaliene juu jha khenu kyokyoha khela pa duniani kyabhis'oma, e'lu Tata ghwa nene ghwa kumbinguni ibetakulibhomba.
20 for where there are two or three gathered together — to my name, there am I in the midst of them.'
Kwa kuj'ha bhabhele au bhadatu bhakakusanyikayi pamonga kwa lihina lya nene, Nene njele pagati pa bhene.
21 Then Peter having come near to him, said, 'Sir, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him — till seven times?'
Kabhele Petro akahida ni kun'jobhela Yesu, “Bwana, ni mara silenga ndongo bhangu akanikosela ni nene nikan'samehe? Hata mara jha saba?”
22 Jesus saith to him, 'I do not say to thee till seven times, but till seventy times seven.
Yesu akan'jobhela, “Nikujobhela lepi mara saba, lakini hata sabini mara saba.
23 'Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants,
Kwa ndabha ejhu bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ni sawa ni mfalme mmonga jhaalondeghe kwisahihisha hesabu kuhoma kwa bhatumwa bha muene.
24 and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents,
Bho abhwanji kusahihisha hesabu, mtumwa mmonga akaletibhwa kwa muene ambajhe an'dajheghe talanta elfu kumi.
25 and he having nothing to pay, his lord did command him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he had, and payment to be made.
Kwa kujha ajhelepi ni njela jha kulepa, bwana ghwa muene akalaghisya aghosibhwayi, n'dala munu pamonga ni bhana munu ni khila khenu kyaajhe nakhu, ni mal'epu ghabhombekayi.
26 The servant then, having fallen down, was bowing to him, saying, Sir, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;
Hivyo mtumwa akabina, akapiga magoti m'bele jha muene, akajobha, 'Bwana, uj'helayi ni bhuvumilivu pamonga ni nene, na nibetakulepa khila khenu.'
27 and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion did release him, and the debt he forgave him.
Hivyo bwana ghwa j'hola n'tumwa, kwa kuj'ha asukumibhu sana ni huruma andekhesili ni kun'samehe lideni e'lu
28 'And, that servant having come forth, found one of his fellow-servants who was owing him an hundred denaries, and having laid hold, he took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that which thou owest.
Lakini n'tumwa j'hola akabhoka ni kunkabha mmonga kati j'ha bhatumwa bhajhinu, jhaajhele akan'dai denari mia. Akamfuta, akankaba pa nkoromelu, ni kun'jobhela, 'Nil'epai khela kyanikudai.'
29 His fellow-servant then, having fallen down at his feet, was calling on him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;
Lakini y'ola n'tumwa njinu akabina ni kun'sihi sana akajobha, 'Ujhelayi ni bhuvumilivu nani, na nibetakul'epa.'
30 and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, till he might pay that which was owing.
Lakini n'tumwa j'hola ghwa kubhwandelu abelili. Badala j'hiake, akalota ni kun'tagha gerezani, mpaka pa ibeta kundepa khela kyaakan'dai.
31 'And his fellow-servants having seen the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, and having come, shewed fully to their lord all the things that were done;
Na bho bhabhuene bhatumwa bhajhinu khela kya kitokili. Bhasikitishibu sana. Bhakahida ni kun'jobhela bwana ghwa bhene kila khenu kya kyah'omili.
32 then having called him, his lord saith to him, Evil servant! all that debt I did forgive thee, seeing thou didst call upon me,
Ndipo y'ola bwana ghwa mtumwa j'hola akan'kuta, ni kun'jobhela, 'Ewe n'tumwa mwovu, nikakusamehe bhebhe lideni lyangu lyoha kwa ndabha ukan'somili muni.
33 did it not behove also thee to have dealt kindly with thy fellow-servant, as I also dealt kindly with thee?
Je! Ulondekaghelepi kujha ni huruma kwa n'tumwa njinu, kama nene kyanikuhurumili bhebhe?
34 'And having been wroth, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, till he might pay all that was owing to him;
Bwana ghwa muene akadada ni kun'kabidhi kwa bhala bhatesaji mpaka pa ibetakulepa kiasi kyoha kyaadaibhweghe.
35 so also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.'
Efyo ndo dadi j'hangu ghwa kumbinguni kyaibetakubhabhombela, kama kila mmonga ghwinu ibetalepi kun'samehe ndongo munu kuhomela ghwa muene.”
