Matiwos Dooshishiyo 18
1 Manoor b́ danifuwots Iyesusok t'int, «Dari mengstotse jamoniyere bogo kone?» ett bo aati.
About that time we disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who [among us will be] the most important when God [MTY/EUP] [makes you] king?”
2 Iyesuswere na'í marmat' iko s'eegdek't bo taalots ned'ib́k'r,
Jesus called a child to come, and he placed that child in our midst.
3 Hank'owo bíeti, «Arikone itsh ti etiri, woneyar nana'í marmat'uwotskok'o woto it k'azal b́ jamon dari mangstots kindratste.
He said, “Think about this: If you [(pl)] do not change [the way you(pl) think] and become [as humble] as little children, you [(pl)] will surely not go to the place where God [MTY/EUP] rules.
4 Na'i marmat'ankok'o b́ tooko dashan detsetwo dari mengstotse eene b́wotiti.
The people who become as humble as this child [or any child] is, will be the most important people among those over whom God rules.
5 Hank'o wotts na'o t shúútsosha err dek'etwo taan dek'etwe.» bíet.
Also, when those who, [because they love] me, welcome [a] child like this one, [God considers] that they are welcoming me.”
6 «Konwor wotowa asho taan amaniru muk'nana'anotsitse iko b́ dariyoniyere mangts dí'́i shútso b́ bimbats tifde'er ayide dashan gop'ts aatsi k'arotse juweyar k'ot'eeb́wtsink'eree bísh k'aniyank'e.»
“If you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [even if it is someone who is socially unimportant like] this little child, [God will severely punish you]. If a heavy stone were fastened around your neck and you were thrown into the deep waters of the sea, [people would consider that you had been severely punished. But God will punish] you more severely [than that if you cause someone to sin]
7 Manats dabt Iyesus hank'o bíet, «Ash ashuwotssh t'ug wotiru ashuwots jangatse tuutson indowe datsusha! wottso b́ wotiyalor t'ug wotit keewwots bowowo ooreratse, ernmó t'ugo wotitwo b́weetwok'o k'alitumansh indowe bísha!
It will be terrible for those [MTY] who cause others to stop believing in me. [God will punish them eternally]. It is inevitable that there will be [those who] cause others to stop believing in me. But it will be horrible for everyone who does that.
8 Mansh eshe n kisho wee n tufo morro n finitwok'o neen b́daritkawotiyal k'ut'de' juk'rowe! git kisho wee git tufo deshfetsr dúre dúri tawots njuwewoniree kish k'ut'o wee duro wotarr dúre dúri kashomaats kindo neesh k'anefe. (aiōnios g166)
So, if you [are wanting to use] one of your hands or feet to sin, [stop using that hand or foot! Even if you have to] cut it off [to avoid sinning, do it] [MET]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you are maimed or lame and do not have a hand or a foot. But it is not good that you continue to have your two hands and two feet [and do] [MTY] [the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown into [hell], where there is eternal fire burning. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
9 Ni ááwonúwere morro nfinitwok'o neen b́dariyal kishde okaan juk'rowe! git ááwo deshfetsŕ gahanem taw gop'ots njuwewoniyere ááw iketso wotaarr kasho maants kindo neesh k'anefe. (Geenna g1067)
If what you see you [makes you want] to sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you have only one eye. But it is not good that you continue to have your two eyes [and do the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown {God throws you} into hell where there is eternal fire burning.” (Geenna g1067)
10 Darotse fa'a bo melakiwots jam aawo darotse fa'o tnih shiitso bos'iilirwotse, k'ac'in nana'anotsitse dab́ ikonor it gac'erawok'o it tooko korde'ere. [
“Make an effort that you [(pl)] do not despise [even] one of these children. I tell you [(pl)] truly that [since] the angels [live] in heaven [in the presence of] my Father, [they will report to him if you mistreat the children].
11 Ash na'onúwor b́waa t'aftso kashiyoshe.»]
12 Ando aaniy Iyesus hank'o bíeti, «Aab eeg arefa itsha? Bal mereer detsts ash iko boyitse iko b́k'aleyal balosh ik shapwotsi guri abaatse k'ayk'rar t'aftsman geyo amaalkeya?
What do you [(pl)] think [you would do in the following situation]? If you had 100 sheep and one of them got lost, you would surely leave the 99 sheep [that are] on the hill and go and search for the lost one [RHQ], would you not?
13 Ariko itsh keewirwe, bín b́daatsor fa'a balosh ik shapwotsiyere t'aft daatsets ikmansh b́gene'úwiti.
If you found it, I affirm to you [(pl)] that you would rejoice very much. You would be happy that 99 sheep did not stray away, but you would rejoice even more [because you had found] the sheep that had strayed away.
14 Mank'o darotse fa'o itnih nana'a k'ac'nanotsitse ikonwore b́t'fitwok'o geyeratsee.
In the same way [that shepherds do not want one of] their [sheep to stray away], so [God], your Father in heaven, does not want [even] one of these children to go to hell.” (questioned)
15 «Nieshu neen b́dadiyal neenat bín ikn wotde neesh b́t'afitso keewwe, n keewo b́ shishetka wotiyal aani nik woshdek'etuune,
“If a fellow believer sins [against you], go [to him], and when you two are alone, reprove him [for sinning against you]. If that person listens to you [and feels sorry that he has sinned against you], you will have restored [your friendship with] that person.
16 N keewo shisho b́k'azalmo wee git wee keez ashuwots gawts gawo b́s'eenetwok'o neenton wee iko wee git asho de'er biyok amee.
If that person will not listen to you [nor feel sorry that he has sinned against you], go get one or two other people [who will listen to what you both have to say]. Have them go with you so that [what is written] {[Moses wrote]} [in the Scriptures might happen: ] ‘[When one person accuses another in some matter], it should be confirmed by [at least] two or three people {[at least] two or three people should confirm it} [before that person can be declared] guilty {[before they declare that person guilty]}.’
17 Boon k'ewatse bíetalmó Ik' moosh keewwe, Ik'i moonowere k'ewatse bí'etetka wotiyalowere Ik' danawok'o wee morretsok'o taawk'rowe.
If the one who has sinned against you will not listen to them [or does not feel sorry that he has sinned against you], tell that to the congregation [so that they can rebuke him]. If that person will not listen to the congregation [or feel sorry that he has sinned against you, exclude him from being a member of your congregation, just like] you [would exclude] pagans, tax collectors, [and others who do not believe in God and sin greatly].
18 «Arikoniyere itsh tietiri, datsatse it tiptetwoniye darotse tipekee b́wotiti, datsatse it biitsetwo daaratse bishke b́wotiti.
Keep this in mind: Whatever you decide on earth [about punishing] or [not punishing a member of your congregation] is what has also been decided by [God] in heaven {what [God] in heaven has also decided}.
19 Andoor aaniy itsh keewirwe, ititse gitetswots datsatse eegonor k'onosh ikwotar Ik'o bok'oniyal darotse fa'o t nih itsh s'eentsitwe.
Also note this: If [at least] two of you [who live] here on earth agree together about something you ask [God] for [DOU], [God], my Father [who is] in heaven, will give you what you ask for.
20 Gito wee keezo wotar tshúútson bokakwet beyokoke taa bo dagotse daatsetwe.»
[This is true], because wherever [at least] two or three of you assemble because you believe in me [MTY], I am [spiritually] present with you. I [will hear what you ask for and I will ask God to do it for you].”
21 Manoor P'et'ros Iyesus maants t'int́, «Doonzono! tíeshuu taan b́dadiyal ambtsoto bísh oorowe erta? Shawatoto b́borfetsoneya?» ett bíaati.
Then Peter approached [Jesus] and said to him, “How many times must I forgive a fellow believer who [keeps on] sinning against me? [If he keeps asking me to forgive him, must I forgive him] as many as seven times?”
22 Iyesuswere bísh hank'o bíet, «Shawatoti sheba bako shawatot mec'ra eraatse neesha,
Jesus said to him, “I tell you [that the number of] times [you must forgive someone is] not just up to seven, but [you must] ([forgive him] 77 times/never stop forgiving him).
23 Mansh daritsi mengstu guutswotsnton tanoosh geyiru nugúsoniye bíari,
[In order to illustrate] why [you should do this], I [will tell you a story in which] God [MTY/EUP], [who cares for] the people whose lives he rules over, is compared {I compare God, [who cares for] the people whose lives he rules over} to a king [and his officials]. That king told [some of his servants that he wanted] his officials to pay what they owed him.
24 Nugusonwere taano dek't b́tuutsok'on ay miliyeniyon meklityo bíatse fa'a guuts iko detseyat b́weyi.
[So those officials were brought to the king to] settle [their accounts with him]. [One of the officials who were brought] owed the king several million dollars.
25 Guuts man bíatse fa'a k'awntso dasho b́mááwtsotse bíwere b́ máátsunowere b́nan'úwotsnat b́ detsts jamonowere kemde'er bíats fa'a k'awntso b́dashetwok'o b́ doonz bíazazi.
But because he did not have [enough money] to pay [what he owed], the king demanded that he, his wife, his children and all he possessed be sold [to someone else, and that the king] be repaid [with] {receive} [the money that was paid for them].
26 Guutsonmo b́ doonz shirots tuk'maldek't ‹Doonzono! oona neea! muk'i taash s'iilde'e, b́ jamonor neesh dashetwe!› ett bín b́ k'oni.
Then that official, [knowing that he did not have the money to pay that huge debt], fell on his knees [in front of the king] and begged him saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you all of it, [eventually].’
27 B́ doonzwere bísh maac'o k'ewat bín faksh b́k'ri, bíatsi k'awntsonoweree k'azb́k'ri.
The king, [knowing that the official could never pay all that huge debt], felt sorry for him. So he canceled his debt and released him.
28 «Ernmó guutsman manoke kesht amoke b́befere bal dinariyo gusho bíatse b́detstso b́ tooho daatsdek't b́ bimbo gúk'dek't, ‹Neesh t gushits gizo taash daye!› bí et.
Then this official went to another one of the king’s officials who owed him a bit less than a year’s wages. He grabbed him [by the throat], started choking him, and said to him, ‘Pay back what you owe [me]!’
29 Guuts b́ toohmanwere b́tufishirotse diht́ ‹Oona neesha! taash muk'i k'amowee, neesh dashetwe!› ett b́ k'oni.
That official fell on his knees and begged him saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you all of it, [eventually].’
30 Ashmanmó k'aze bíet. Iki dabnwor detsdek't amt́ b́ k'awntso b́dashfetsosh tipi moots tipi b́k'ri.
But this official kept refusing [to cancel that small debt that the man owed him]. Instead, he [caused that official to be] put in prison [and to stay there] until he could pay back all the money that he owed him.
31 Bínk'ó wotts guuts guutswots man bobek'tsok'on ayidek't shiyanbowts, amtinwere wotts jamo bodoonzsh keewbok'ri.
When the other officials [of the king] learned that this had happened, they felt very distressed. So they went to the king and reported in detail what had happened.
32 doononwere guutsman s'eegidek't bísh hank'o bíet, ‹Nee gond guutsono! taan nk'onree jam k'awntsman neesh k'azre,
Then the king summoned the official [who had owed him several million dollars]. He said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I canceled that huge debt [that you owed me] because you begged me [to do so]
33 Eshe, taa niatsi k'awntso neesh k'aztk'rok'o, nee ntooh wotts guutsosh k'azo neesh geyiyank'oshna b́teshi?›
You should have been merciful [and canceled your fellow official’s debt], just like I was merciful to you [and canceled your debt] [RHQ]!’
34 Mansh doonzo fayat bíatsi k'awnts jamo b́dashfetsosh tipi maa naashosh beshidek't b́ ími.
The king was very angry. He handed this official over to some jailers who would torture him severely until he paid all of the debt that he owed.”
35 «Eshe itwere ik ikon it eshuwi itnibotse kishde neesh orowe eto itk'azal darotse fa'o tnihwor mank'o it aats k'alitwe.»
[Then Jesus continued by saying], “That is what my Father in heaven will do to you if you do not [feel merciful and] sincerely forgive a fellow believer [who sins against you].”
