Matthai 18

1 Te vaeng tue ah hnukbang rhoek loh Jesuh te a paan uh tih, “Vaan ram ah ulae tanglue la aka om,” a ti na uh.

The same time the disciples came vnto Iesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen?

2 Te dongah camoe pakhat te a khue tih amih lakli ah a pai sak.

And Iesus called a litle childe vnto him, and set him in the mids of them,

3 Te phoeiah, “Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, camoe rhoek bangla na mael uh tih na om uh pawt atah vaan ram khuila na kun uh tlaih mahpawh.

And sayd, Verely I say vnto you, except ye be conuerted, and become as litle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen.

4 Te dongah hekah camoe bangla amah tlarhoel hlang te tah vaan ram ah tanglue la om.

Whosoeuer therefore shall humble himselfe as this litle childe, the same is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen.

5 Te phoeiah kai kah ming neh hebang camoe pakhat aka doe te tah kai ni n'doe.

And whosoeuer shall receiue one such litle childe in my name, receiueth me.

6 U long khaw kai aka tangnah camoe rhoek he pakhat khaw a khah atah, a rhawn ah laak phaklung a hoei tih tuili dung ah a buek te anih ham rhoei ngai.

But whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones which beleeue in me, it were better for him, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Anunae thangkui kongah Diklai aih he. Thangkui te a om ham a kueknah om. Tedae anunae anih lamloh thangkui aka tung hlang aih te.

Wo be vnto the world because of offences: for it must needes be that offences shall come, but wo be to that man by whome the offence commeth.

8 Te phoeiah na kut neh na kho loh nang n'khah atah te te tloek lamtah namah lamloh voei. Kut panit kho panit om tih dungyan hmai khuila m'voeih lakah a ngun a khaem la hingnah khuiah kun te nang ham hnothen la om. (aiōnios g166)

Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foote cause thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life, halt, or maimed, then hauing two hands, or two feete, to be cast into euerlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)

9 Te phoeiah na mik loh nang n'khah atah te te koeih lamtah namah lamloh voei. Mik vang neh hingnah khuila kun te nang ham hnothen la om. Mik panit om tih hell hmai khuila voeih lakah tah. (Geenna g1067)

And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, then hauing two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)

10 He camoe rhoek khuikah pakhat khaw na hnaep uh pawt ham ngaithuen uh. Nangmih ham kan thui, vaan ah amih kah puencawn rhoek loh vaan kah a pa maelhmai te a hmuh uh taitu lah ko.

See that ye despise not one of these litle ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels alwayes behold the face of my Father which is in heauen.

11 Hlang capa tah aka hma rhoek khang ham ni ha pawk.

For the Sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost.

12 Nangmih tah metlam na poek? Hlang pakhat te tu yakhat om coeng dae te khuikah pakhat loh poengdoe koinih sawmko pako te tlang ah a hlah vetih aka poeng te toem hamla cet mahpawt nim?

How thinke ye? If a man haue an hundreth sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doeth he not leaue ninetie and nine, and go into the mountaines, and seeke that which is gone astray?

13 Te vaengah a hmuh hamla om coeng koinih ta, nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, aka poeng mueh sawmko pako lakah aka hma soah omngaih ngai.

And if so be that he finde it, verely I say vnto you, he reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray:

14 Te dongah vaan kah na Pa hmaiah tah camoe rhoek pakhat khaw poci ham te a ngaih moenih.

So is it not ye wil of your Father which is in heauen, that one of these litle ones should perish.

15 “Na manuca loh nang taengah a tholh atah cet lamtah namah neh anih laklo bueng ah mah anih te toeltham. Nang ol a yaak atah na manuca te na na coeng.

Moreouer, if thy brother trespasse against thee, goe and tell him his fault betweene thee and him alone: if he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother.

16 Tedae a hnatun pawt atah pakhat khaw panit khaw namah taengah khuen. Te daengah ni laipai rhoek panit pathum kah a ka loh olka te boeih a pai puei eh.

But if he heare thee not, take yet with thee one or two, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses euery worde may be confirmed.

17 Tedae amih loh a altha atah hlangboel taengah thui. Te vaengah Hlangboel kah ol pataeng a altha atah nangmih taengah namtom neh mangmucoi bangla om sak.

And if he refuse to heare them, tell it vnto the Church: and if he refuse to heare the Church also, let him be vnto thee as an heathen man, and a Publicane.

18 Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, diklai hmanah na pin uh te tah vaan ah a pin ni. Tedae diklai ah na hlam uh te tah vaan ah a hlam ni.

Verely I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye bind on earth, shall be bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer ye loose on earth, shalbe loosed in heauen.

19 Te phoeiah nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, panit loh na kotluep tih diklai hmanah hno boeih te bih uh koinih, amih ham te vaan kah a pa loh a saii pah ni.

Againe, verely I say vnto you, that if two of you shall agree in earth vpon any thing, whatsoeuer they shall desire, it shall be giuen them of my Father which is in heauen.

20 Panit pathum aka om te khaw kai ming neh a hum uh atah amih lakli ah pahoi ka om coeng,” a ti nah.

For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the mids of them.

21 Te vaengah amah te Peter loh a paan tih, “Boeipa, ka manuca loh kai soah a tholh vaengah ka hlah vawptawp a ya?, voei rhih due a?” a ti nah.

Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, howe oft shall my brother sinne against me, and I shall forgiue him? vnto seuen times?

22 Jesuh loh, “Nang taengah voei rhih due pawt tih, sawmrhih parhih due ni ka ti.

Iesus said vnto him, I say not to thee, Vnto seuen times, but, Vnto seuentie times seuen times.

23 Te dongah vaan ram tah a sal rhoek taengah bitat soepsoei ham aka ngaih hlang manghai neh vai uh.

Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine King, which would take an account of his seruants.

24 Soepsoei ham a tong vaengah talen thawngrha dongkah laikung pakhat te a taengla a khuen.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him, which ought him ten thousand talents.

25 Tedae anih loh thuung ham khaw kawn khueh pawh. Te dongah anih te a boeipa loh a yuu neh a ca rhoek, a khueh boeih te a yoih tih thuung ham ol a paek.

And because he had nothing to pay, his Lord commanded him to be solde, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and the dette to be payed.

26 Te dongah sal te bakop tih manghai te a bawk. Te phoeiah, “Kai soah na thinsen sak mai lamtah nang te boeih kan thuung bitni,” a ti nah.

The seruant therefore fell downe, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, refraine thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all.

27 Te dongah boei loh a thinphat tih tekah sal te a loeih sak. Te phoeiah a laiba khaw a hlah pah.

Then that seruants Lord had compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the dette.

28 Tedae tekah sal tah cet tih a sal puei pakhat a hmuh. Te long te anih taengah denarii yakhat a ba. Te vaengah anih te a tuuk tih a khak phoeiah, “Pakhat na ba akhaw n'thuung laeh,” a ti nah.

But when the seruant was departed, hee found one of his felow seruants, which ought him an hundred pence, and he layde hands on him, and thratled him, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

29 Te dongah a sal puei loh a yalh doela a hloep, “Kai soah na thinsen mai dae, nang te kan thuung bitni,” a ti nah.

Then his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Refraine thine anger towards me, and I will pay thee all.

30 Tedae ngaih pawt tih laiba te a thuung duela thongim khuiah a hlak tih a caeh tak.

Yet he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the dette.

31 Aka om hno te a sal puei rhoek loh a hmuh dongah mat a khothae uh. Te dongah a boei taengla a pawk uh vaengah aka om hno te boeih a thui uh.

And when his other felowe seruants sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came, and declared vnto their Lord all that was done.

32 Te vaengah a boei loh anih te a khue tih, 'Sal thae aw, kai nan hloep dongah na docanah boeih te kan hlah,

Then his Lord called him vnto him, and sayd to him, O euil seruant, I forgaue thee all that dette, because thou prayedst me.

33 kai loh nang kang rhen bangla na sal puei te na rhen ham a kuek van moenih a? 'a ti nah.

Oughtest not thou also to haue had pitie on thy fellowe seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?

34 A boeipa loh kosi a hong tih anih te laiba boeih a thuung hlan atah phaepkung rhoek taengah a thak.

So his Lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentours, till he should pay all that was due to him.

35 Te dongah khat rhip loh a manuca te na thinko neh na hlah uh pawt koinih vaan kah a pa loh namamih taengah te tlam ni a saii van eh,” a ti nah.

So likewise shall mine heauenly Father doe vnto you, except ye forgiue from your hearts, eche one to his brother their trespasses.
