Mathayo 18
1 Isala zezyo zezyo abhanafunzi bhenza wha Yesu na humozye, “Yu nanu waligosi huwo mwene wa humwanya?”
At that hour came the disciples near to Jesus, saying, 'Who, now, is greater in the reign of the heavens?'
2 U Yesu akwizya umwana udodo, ameha pakasi yawo,
And Jesus having called near a child, did set him in the midst of them,
3 na yanje, “Lyoli ihumbawozya, nkagamtubu na bhe hansi abhana abhadodo sagamwayiweza hawhinjile huwomwene wa Ngolobhi.
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;
4 Nesho wowonti wawhiha hansi umwana udodo, umuntu hansi oyo gosi huwomwene wa humwanya.
whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the reign of the heavens.
5 Na wowonti wahuposhele umwana udodo whitawa lyane ahumposhela nene.
'And he who may receive one such child in my name, doth receive me,
6 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.
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.
7 Aheli honse husababu yisala izya viswe huje saga hulini budi husala ezyo awhenze, ila ahele whakwe muntu ola isala ezyo zibhawhenze kwa ajili yamwene!
'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!
8 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)
'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)
9 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)
'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)
10 Enyi aje msanzalau weka wabha dodo ebha. Kwa maana ihumbabhawozya aje humwanya huli antumi abhene insiku zyonti bhawhenya sha Baba wane wali humwanya.
'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,
11 (Simisizya: Amazu gagaloleha hansi gimsitali gwa 11, “Kwa kuwa umwana wa Adamu ahenzele awhaule shila shasha tejile” Sagagaloleshe mnakala nyinza zihale).
for the Son of Man did come to save the lost.
12 Msabhanshi? Nkesho umuntu alini ngole mya moja, na yeka yawo yatega, eshi sagabhahuzileshe tisini na tisa mwigamba na abhale afwate yeka yitejile?
'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?
13 Na nkayaga, lyoli ihumbawozya, asongwa kuliko zila tisini na tisa zyasaga zitejile.
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;
14 Shesho shesho, saga lugano lwa Baba wenyu wa humwanya aje weka wa dodo ebha ateketele.
so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.
15 Nkesho uholo waho avisizye, bhalaga, unolesye ishida yeleho awe numene lyali mwene. Nkabhahutejelezye, unzabhe umwezizye uholo waho.
'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;
16 Ila nkasagabhahutejelezye, mweje, uholo weka au uwabhele hani pamo nawe, humalomu gasimisizi bhabhele au bhatatu kila izu liwezizye asimisizwe.
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.
17 Na nkasholonya ahubhatejelezye wozi ishibhanza iswala elyo, nkesho asholanya tena ashitejelezye ishibhanza, eshi na abhe hansi umuntu upagani na unsonkolozya kodi.
'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.
18 Lyoli ihumbawozya, shoshonti shila shamwayipinya panse na humwanya shayipinywa. Na shoshonti shamwa yisatula panse na humwanya shayisatulwa.
'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.
19 Eshi ihumbawozya aje abhantu bhabhele pakashi yenyu nkabhetehana pamwanya yiswala lyo lyonti panse lya bhasaya, elyo u Baba wane wahumwanya ayihuliwomba.
'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,
20 Nkabhabha bhabhele au bhatatu wawongene peka whitawa lyane, ene endi pakasi yawo.
for where there are two or three gathered together — to my name, there am I in the midst of them.'
21 Tena u Petro ayenza nahumozye Yesu, “Gosi, halenga uhole wane avwisye nane insamehe? Hata mala saba?”
Then Peter having come near to him, said, 'Sir, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him — till seven times?'
22 U Yesu amozya, “Sigiehuwozya mala saba, ila hata sabini mala saba.
Jesus saith to him, 'I do not say to thee till seven times, but till seventy times seven.
23 Kwa sababu eyo awomwene wa humwanya ni sawa nu mwene omo wahanzaga asahihi sye ihesabu afume whaboyi bhakwe.
'Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants,
24 Lwahanda asahihisye ihesabu, uboyi weka bhaneta whamwene wali ahudayi italanta elfu kumi.
and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents,
25 Afwatanaje sagaali ni dala lyalipe, ugosi wakwe alajizizye akazwe, onse wakwe pamo na bhana bhakwe na hantu honti hali naho, na malipo gafanyishe.
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.
26 Esho uboyi agwiye, akhoma amafugamo whilongo lela lyakwe ayanga, 'Gosi, ubhe na golele pamo nane, na imbahulipe kila hantu.'
The servant then, having fallen down, was bowing to him, saying, Sir, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;
27 Esho ugosi wola uboyi, afwatanaje asukumwi we hani ninkombo, anesheye na husamehe iliga elyo.
and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion did release him, and the debt he forgave him.
28 Ila uboyi ola asogoye na humwaje weka kati ya boyi bhakwe, wali ahudayi idinali mia. Akwesa, abida whimilo na humozye, 'Ndipe shila shihudai.
'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.
29 ILa ola uboyi uwamwawo agwiye nahu nsisitizye hani, ayanjile, 'Ubhe nugolele nane, imbahulipe.'
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;
30 Ila uboyi ola wawhande akhanile. Hubadala yakwe, abhalile na huntaje mwijela, hadi lwayihunipa shila shahudayi.
and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, till he might pay that which was owing.
31 Na lwabhalola aboyi bhamwawo shila shishifumiye. Bhasononeshwe hani. Bhahenzele na humozye, ugosi wawo shila hantu hatokeye.
'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;
32 Ndiyo ola ugosi wa boyi ola akwizizye, na humozye, awe boyi mibhi nasamehile ane iliga lyane lyonti kwa sababu wandabhile hani.
then having called him, his lord saith to him, Evil servant! all that debt I did forgive thee, seeing thou didst call upon me,
33 Ashi! Sagawahanziwaga abhe ninkombo wha boyi abhamwenyu, hansi ane shanaloleye enkombo awe?
did it not behove also thee to have dealt kindly with thy fellow-servant, as I also dealt kindly with thee?
34 Ugosi wakwe avitilwe na humeshe whabhala bhabhayemva hadi lwailipa ishipimo shonti shadayiwaga.
'And having been wroth, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, till he might pay all that was owing to him;
35 Esho shesho Ubaba wane wa humwanya shaihubhawombela, nkesho kila weka wenyu saga ayihusamehe uholo wakwe afume mmoyo genyu.”
so also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.'
