Matthew 18

1 Tua hun laitak in a nungzui te Jesus kungah hongpai a, vantung kumpingam sung ah a kua lianbel tu ziam? ci in dong hi.

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

2 Jesus in patangno khat a kung ah sam in, amate laizang ah koi a,

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

3 A tatak in kong ci ciang, kikheal in patangno te bang na hi bua uh le, vantung ngam sung ah na tum thei batu uh hi.

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 Tua ahikom a kuamapo hi patangno bang in ama le ama a ki niamkhiak te, vantung kumpingam sung ah a lianbel hi tu hi.

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

5 A kuamapo keima min taw tabang patangno khat a sang sia in keima hong sang a hihi.

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

6 Mihing khatpo in keima hong um hi patangno khat a siatsua peuma, a ngawng ah an ngoaina suangtum khai in, tuipi thuk sung ah khia leang ama atu in phazawlai hi.

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 Mihing te upna a lalsak thei nate om ahikom, hileitung mite mailam bing hi! Tabang te sia hong piang tawntung tu hi, ahihang tabang a piangsak te atu in, a mailam bing hi!

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 Tua ahikom na khut a hibale na peang in hong khialsak le, tan in: khut lang ni, a hibale peang ni nei in tawntung mei sung ah khiak thuak tu sang in, pumpi cing ngawl in nuntakna sung ah tum tu phazaw hi. (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 Taciang na mit in hong khialsak le, khel in a, vawk in: mit ni taw hell sung ah khiak suk thuak sang in, mit langkhat taw nuntakna sung ah tum tu phazaw hi. (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 Patangno te sung pan khatpo zawnsak vawt thak ngawl tu in kidawm in; banghangziam cile, amate vantungmi te in vantung Ka Pa mai en tawntung uh hi, ci in kong son hi.

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 Banghangziam cile mihing Tapa sia, a bote ngum tu in hongpai a hihi.

12 Bangbang in na ngaisun uh ziam? mihing khat in tuu zakhat nei a, khat sia lampial in bo bang hile, sawm kua le kua te nu sia in mual tung theampo ah pai in, a bo tuu sia zong tu hi ngawl ziam?

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 Mu kik a hile, a man tatak kong ci ciang, a bo ngawl tuu sawm kua le kua te sang in, tua a bo tuu khat tung ah lungdam zaw hi.

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 Tabang ma in vantung a om na Pa in, hibang patangno khat a siat tu oai ngawl hi.

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

15 Bek tham ngawl in, na suapuipa in na tung ah hong khial a hile, va pai tan a, na ki laklaw ah a khial na a ma bek taw kikum vun: na thu hong ngai a hile, na suapuipa na nga kik zo hi.

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 Ahihang na thu hong ngai bua a hile, mihing a dang khat, a hibale, ni zuisak in a, taciang tetti ni le thum kam pan a pau nate taw ki kipsak tu hi.

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 Taciang ama in hong ngai ngawl in na thu hong ni bale, pawlpi tung ah son in: ahihang pawlpi thu zong ngai ngawl in a ni nuam tuan ba lai le, Pathian he ngawl te le shiadong te bang in koi lel vun.

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 A tatak in kong ci ciang, leitung ah na hen uh te vantung ah zong ki hen tu hi: taciang leitung ah na tha uh te, vantung ah zong ki tha tu hi.

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 Khatvei kong son kik hi, leitung ah mihing ni a nget tu thu taw kisai thu akisi le van a om Ka Pa in vawtsak tu hi.

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 Banghangziam cile ka min taw ni le thum na ki kaikhop uh ciang, note lai ah keima ka om hi, ci hi.

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

21 Jesus kungah Peter hongpai a, Topa awng, ka tung ah hong khial ka suapuipa bangza vei dong maisak tu khi ziam? sali vei dong ziam? ci in dong hi.

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

22 Jesus in, Sali vei dong hong ci ngawl khi hi: ahihang sawm sali vei a se sali dong maisak tu ni hi.

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

23 Tua ahikom vantung kumpingam sia, a naseam te sazian a sittel kumpipa taw kibang hi.

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

24 Tabang in a sittel ciang in, talent tul sawm a ba mi khat a kung ah hong ki puak hi.

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

25 Ahihang piak tu a nei ngawl hu in, a topa in, a zi le a ta, a neisa theampo zuak in, piasak tu in thupia hi.

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 Naseampa bok in bia a, topa, hong ngak lai tan, a vekpi in hong lo tu khi hi, ci hi.

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

27 Tasiaciang in kumpipa in a naseampa khuangai huai sa a, a bat theampo maisak in ciasak hi.

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

28 Hi kamale tua naseampa sia pai in, ama tung ah zakhat a ba a nasep khoppui khat taw a ki sik ciang, a tawlsan in, na leiba hong lo tan, ci hi.

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 Tasiaciang a naseppui pa sia a peang nuai ah bok in, hong ngak hi lai po tan, a vekpi in kong lo tu hi, ci in thum hi.

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

30 Ahizong maisak nuam ngawl hi: a leiba a lo siat dong thong sung ah khum hi.

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

31 A naseppui te in a mu uh ciang in, a thin uh nuam ngawl a, a vawt na theampo a topa kung ah pai in son tek uh hi.

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 Tua zawkciang a topa in ama sam a, maw nang naseam tatsia, nong thum bang in na leiba theampo hong maisak khi hi:

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

33 Nang tung ah hesuakna ka nei bang in, nang zong na naseppui te tung ah hesuakna na nei tu kilawm hi ngawl ziam? ci hi.

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

34 Kumpipa a thin-uk a, a leiba a lo siat mateng thong cingpa kung ah ap hi.

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

35 Tasia bangma in a kuamapo na suapuipa i sepkhial nate na thinsung uh pan na maisak bua uh le, vantung a om Ka Pa in note zong hong maisak ngawl tu hi, ci hi.

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