Mathayo 18

1 Omwanya ogwo abheigisibhwa nibhaja ku Yesu nibhamuhwila ati, “Niga omukulu mubhukama bhwa mulwile?”

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Then which one is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens?

2 Mbe Yesu nabhilikila omwana omulela, namutula agati yebhwe,

And Jesus calling a little child to Him, placed it in the midst of them,

3 Naika ati, “Ni chimali enibhabhwila, mukabhula okuta na mkabha lwa abhana abhalela mtakutula okwingila mubhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.

and said, Truly I say unto you, unless you may be converted, and become as little children, you can not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

4 Kulwejo unu kekeya lwo mwana omulela, omunu lwoyo nimukulu mubhukama bhwa mulwile.

Therefore whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens;

5 Na wona wona unu kalamila omwana omulela kwisina lyani kandamilaanye.

and whosoever shall receive such little child in my name, receives me.

6 Nawe unu kendelela umwi mu bhatoto bhanu abhanyikilisha bhaleme okungwa, jakabhee jakisi omunu oyo bhamubhoye olubhui (olumengo) mubhicha bhyaye, na bhamutubhishe muda ya inyanja.

But whosoever may offend one of these little ones, who believe in me, it is good for him that a millstone may be hanged to his neck, and he may be drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Echalo jakubhona, kwa insonga ya akatungu ka amasakwa! Kulwokubha ni bhusi bhusi ago gona agaja mukatungu ako, nawe jilimubhona omunuyo alisangilisibhwa na amasakwa ago!

Woe unto the world on account of offensives, for it is necessary that offensives come; but woe unto that man through whom the offense comes!

8 Labha okubhoko kwao amo okugulu kwao okuletelesha amasakwa, mbe nukuteme ukurase Kula nawe. Nijakisi muno kwawe okwingila mubhuanga utali na kubhoko amo uli mulema, nawe utalaswa mumulilo gwa akajanende uli na amabhoko na amagulu gona. (aiōnios g166)

If thy hand or thy foot offends thee, cut them off and cast them from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)

9 Mbe labha eliso lyao nilikwendelesha obhunyamuke, nulisoshemo ulilase kula nawe. Nijakisi muno kwawe okwingila mubhuanga uli na liso limwi, nawe utalaswa mumulilo gwa akajanende uli na meso gona. (Geenna g1067)

And if thine eye offend thee, cast it from thee: it is good for thee having one eye entering into life, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of the fire. (Geenna g1067)

10 Mbe mwitegeleshe, Mwasiga kugaya oumwi wa abhatoto bhanu. Kulwokubha enibhabhwila kutya mulwire bhalimo bhamalaika abhenene nsiku jona bhasamaliye obhusu bhwa lata Unu Ali mwigulu.

See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that their angels in heaven do always behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens.

11 (Gwata kutya: Emisango jinu ejibhonekana okubha Jo olugobho lwa 11, “Kulwokubha Omwana wa Adamu ejile okuchungula chinu chaliga chibhulile,” Emisango ejo jitabhonekene mu Mandiko agakala).

12 Omwiganilisha kutiki? Akasanga omunu ali na jinyabhalega egana limwi, na inyabhalega imwi nibhulako, atakusiga ejindi makumi mwenda na mwenda mwibanga nagenda okulonda eimwi eyo yabhulile?

What seems to you? if there may be a hundred sheep to one man, and one of them may go astray, does he not, leaving the ninety and nine, going to the mountains, seek that which has gone astray?

13 Mbe akefula naibhona, enibhabhwila echimali, kakondelelwa okuibhona kusiga ejindi jinu jitabhulile.

And if it maybe that he finds it, truly I say unto you, that he rejoiceth more over it than over the ninety and nine that went not astray.

14 Kulwejo kutali kwenda kwe Esomwana owa mulwire okulola oumwi wa abhatoto nasingalika.

So it is not the will of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.

15 Mbe labha omumula wanyu akakuyabhila, genda, ujomwelesha obhunyamuke bhunu bhulio agati yao no omwene ali enyele. Akakungwa numenya ati wamulondola.

But if thy brother may sin, go, and convict him between thee and him alone: if he may hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother:

16 Nawe akabhula okungwa ejao, nugege omuili umwi amo yongesha bhabhili, kulwokubha kuminwa jabhamasaidi bhabhili amo bhasatu bhuli egambo elitula okwimelegulu.

if he may not hear thee, take with thyself one or two, in order that in the mouth of two or three witnesses the word may stand.

17 Na labha akagaya okubhategelesha, nubhwile likanisa ingulu yo omusango gwo, labha akagaya nalema okutegelesha likanisa, mbe kulwejo abhe lwo umunyamaanga naunu kasolosha ligoti.

But if he may not hear them, tell the church: and if indeed he may not hear the church, let him be to thee as a heathen and publican.

18 Nichimali enibhabhwila, chona chona echo mulibhoya munsi nolwo mulwire echibhowa. Na chona chona echo mulisulumula munsi nolwo mulwire ona echisulumulwa.

Truly I say unto you, that whatsoever things you may bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever things you may loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

19 Enongesha okubhabhwila kutya abhanu bhabhili agati yemwe bhakekilishanya ingulu yo omusango gwona gwona muchalo munu, linu abhasabhwa, Lata wani owa mulwire kalikonja.

Again I say unto you, that if two of you may agree upon the earth concerning everything which you may ask, it shall be done unto you by my Father, who is in the heavens.

20 Kulwokubha bhanu bhabhili amo bhasatu bhakekofyanya amwi mwisina lyani, Anye ndi agati gati yebhwe.

For where two or three are assembled in my name, there I am in the midst of them.

21 Nasubha Petro naja namubhwila Yesu ati, “Lata Bugenyi, ejiya ngendo elinga omuili wani akanyabhila koleleki nimusasile? Kukingila ngendo musanju?”

Then Peter, coming to Him, said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?

22 Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Nitakubhwila ngendo musanju, nawe kwiya makumi musanju wi indilemo ngendo musanju.

Jesus says to him, I say not unto thee, Until seven time; but Until seventy times seven.

23 Kulwa injuno eyo obhukama bhwa mulwire obhususana no Omukama umwi oyo aliga nenda okumenya obhukumi bhwa imali yaye okusoka ku bhagaya bhaye.

Therefore the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a kingly man, who wished to make a reckoning with his servants.

24 Ejile amba okubhala obhukumi bhwa imali, nibhamuletela omugaya Unu aliga natongwa jitalanta bhiumbi ekumi.

And he beginning to reckon, one was brought to him owing him myriads of talents.

25 Kulwokubha aliga atali na njila ya kuliya, lata bhugenyi waye nalamula bhamugushe omwene no omugasi waye na abhana na bhulichinu chinu aliga alinacho, koleleki aliye libhanja.

And he not having wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all things so many as he had, and payment to be made.

26 Kulwejo omugaya oyo nagwa, nateja ebhiju imbele yae, naika ati, “Nuwikomeshe amwi nanye, enija okukuliya bhuli chinu chinu outonga.”

Then that servant falling down, continued to worship him, saying, Be patient with me, and I will pay you all.

27 Kulwejo lata bhugenyi wo omugaya oyo, okwo aliga nasilwa ne echigongo, amusigile namusasila libhanja elyo.

The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, sent him away, and forgave him the debt.

28 Nawe omugaya oyo agendele nabhugangana no umwi wa abhagaya bhejabho, oyo aliga natongwa egana limwi elya jidinari. Namukulula, namunyiga muchimilo, namubhwila ati, 'Nuundiye chinu enikutonga.'

And that servant having gone out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him one hundred denaria: seized him, throttled him, saying, Pay me what you owe me.

29 Nawe omugaya oyo aguye namwililila muno, namusabhwa ati, 'Nuunfwile echigongo, enija okukuliya.'

Then his fellow-servant falling down, continued to intreat him, saying, Be patient with me and I will pay thee.

30 Nawe umugaya uliya owokwamba alemele. Atamusasiye, nagenda namulasa mulunyolo, kukingila ao amulipile chinu aliga namutonga.

And he was not willing: but having gone away he cast him into prison, until he could pay that which was owing.

31 Mbe abhagaya bhejabho bhejile bhalola omusango ogwo, nabhabhilikila muno. Nibhamala nibhaja (nibhagenda) okubhwila lata bhugenyi webhwe bhuli chinu chinu bhalolele.

Then his fellow-servants seeing those things which had taken place, were grieved exceedingly, and coming related to their lord all the things which transpired.

32 Mbe okwiya lata bhugenyi nabhilikila omugayagasi oyo, namubhwila ati, 'Omugaya omubhibhi awe, nakusasiye libhanja lyona linu nakutongaga kulwokubha weliliye muno.

Then his lord calling him says to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, since thou didst intreat me:

33 Mbe jitakakwiyile okumufwila chigongo omugaya wejanyu lwakutyo anye nakufwiliye chigongo?

did it not behoove thee also to have mercy on thy fellow-servant, as I had mercy on thee?

34 Mbe lata bugenyi waye abhiiliywe namutula mumabhoko gabhanu abhanyasa abhanu kukingila ao akaliile libhanja lyona linu katongwa.

And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormenters, until he should pay all that was due him.

35 Mbe nikwo kutyo Lata wani owa mulwire alibhakolela, labha umwi wemwe atasasiye omuili waye okusokelela mumyoyo jemwe.

Thus my Heavenly Father will also do unto you, if you do not forgive each one his brother from your hearts.
