Matthai 18
1 Hatnavah a hnukkâbangnaw ni Jisuh koe a tho awh teh, kalvan uknaeram dawkvah apimaw kalenpoung han telah a pacei awh.
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?
2 Jisuh ni camo ca buet touh a kaw teh a hnukkâbangnaw rahak vah a ta.
And having called in a child, Jesus set it in the midst of them.
3 Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Nangmouh ni na kâthung awh teh camo patetlah na coung awh hoehpawiteh kalvan uknaeram dawk nâtuek hai na phat awh mahoeh.
And he said, Truly I say to you, if ye are not turned, and become as children, ye will, no, not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
4 Hatdawkvah apipatet hai hete camo patetlah kârahnoum e teh kalvan uknaeram dawk kalenpounge lah ao han.
He therefore who will make himself lowly as this child, this man is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.
5 Apipatethai ka min lahoi camo buetbuet touh ka dâw e teh, kai ka dâw e lah ao toe.
And whoever will receive one such child in my name receives me.
6 Kai na ka yuem e hete camo buetbuet touh hah ka yon sak e teh lahuen dawk talungsum awi laihoi kadung poung e talî dawk pabawt pawiteh ahni hanlah bet ahawi.
But whoever may cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it is advantageous for him that a donkey-powered millstone were hanged on his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Sak payonnae dawkvah talaivan taminaw teh a yawthoe awh. Sak payonnae kaawm han. Hatei, payonnae ka sak sak e teh a yawthoe.
Woe to the world because of stumbling-blocks. For it is necessary that the stumbling-blocks come, yet woe to that man through whom the stumbling-block comes.
8 Na kut khok ni na payon sak pawiteh kut khok hah tâtueng. Kut khok kuep laihoi ayungyoe hmai dawk a yungyoe na bo hlak teh kut khok kuep laipalah hringnae dawk na kâen pawiteh bet ahawi. (aiōnios g166)
And if thy hand or thy foot causes thee to stumble, cut them off and cast from thee. It is good for thee to enter into life crippled or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 Na mit ni na payon sak pawiteh na mit hah cawngkhawih. Na mit kahni touh hoi hell hmai dawk na bo hlak teh mit vang dueng hoi hringnae dawk na kâen pawiteh bet ahawi. (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye causes thee to stumble, remove it and cast it from thee. It is good for thee to enter into life one-eyed, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 Nangmouh ni hete camo buetbuet touh hah na hnep awh hoeh nahanlah kâhruetcuet awh. Na dei pouh awh. Ahnimae kalvantaminaw ni kalvan kho vah kaawm e Pa e minhmai hah pou a hmu awh toe.
See that ye not disparage one of these little ones, for I say to you, that in the heavens their agents do always behold the face of my Father in the heavens.
11 Hothloilah, tami Capa teh kahmat e naw rungngang hanlah doeh a tho.
For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.
12 Bangtelamaw na pouk awh. Tu 100 touh ka tawn e ni tu buet touh lam payon lah kahmat pawiteh, ahni ni tu 99 touh e hah mon vah cetakhai vaiteh, lam ka payon ni teh kahmat e tu buet touh hah tawng mahoeh na maw.
What does it seem to you? If it happens a hundred sheep are with some man, and one of them went astray, after going (having left the ninety-nine on the mountains), does he not seek the one going astray?
13 Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. A hmu toteh lam ka payon hoeh ni teh kahmat hoeh e 99 touh hlakvah kahmat e buet touh dawk hoe a konawm.
And if he happens to find it, truly I say to you, that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.
14 Hot patetvanlah kalvan kho kaawm e nangmae na Pa ni hete camo buet touh boehai rawk sak hanlah a ngainae awm hoeh.
So, it is not a purpose before your Father in the heavens, that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Na hmaunawngha ni nang dawk a sakpayon e awm pawiteh cet sin nateh namamouh roi dueng a yonnae pâpho pouh nateh yue. Na lawk hah tarawi pawiteh na hmaunawngha teh na hmu toe.
But if thy brother should sin against thee, go and reprove him between thee and him alone. If he should hear thee, thou have gained thy brother.
16 Na lawk hah tarawi hoehpawiteh tami kahni kathum touh kapanuekkhaikung lah kaw ei. Hahoi, kaawm e lawk pueng caksak awh.
But if he should not hear, take with thee one or two besides, so that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 Hotnaw e lawk hah tarawi hoehpawiteh kawhmoun koe dei pouh. Kawhmoun e lawk hah ngai hoehpawiteh Jentelnaw hoi tamuk kacawngnaw patetlah pouk awh.
And if he is heedless of them, speak to the church. But if he is also heedless of the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and the tax collector.
18 Atangcalah na dei pouh awh, talai van na katek awh e pueng teh kalvan kho hai katek lah ao han. Talai van rathap e pueng teh kalvan kho hai rathap lah ao han.
Truly I say to you, however many things ye may bind on the earth will be things that are bound in heaven, and however many things ye may loose on the earth will be things that that are loosed in heaven.
19 Bout ka dei e teh, talai van vah nangmouh thung dawk tami kahni touh ni lungkânging lahoi na ratoum awh pawiteh, na ratoum e pueng hah kalvan kho kaawm e a Pa ni na poe han.
Again I say to you truly, that if two of you should agree on the earth concerning every matter, whatever they might ask, it will happen for them from my Father in the heavens.
20 Bangkongtetpawiteh, bangpatet e hmuen koehai ka min lahoi tami kahni kathum touh kamkhueng pawiteh ahnimae lungui kai ka o atipouh.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21 Hatnavah Jisuh hah Piter ni rek a hnai teh, Bawipa hmaunawngha ni kai dawk a sakpayon e hah avai na yit touh maw ka ngaithoum han telah a pacei teh, Jisuh ni vai sari touh na ngaithoum han ka tet hoeh.
Then Peter having come to him, he said, Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?
22 Avai rui sari let sari totouh na ngaithoum han ka ti.
Jesus says to him, I say to thee, not until seven times, but until seventy times seven.
23 Hatdawkvah kalvan uknaeram teh, amae sannaw hah tangka lai ka dei pouh e siangpahrang buet touh hoi a kâvan.
Because of this the kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man, a king, who wanted to settle account with his bondmen.
24 Cayin koung to hoiyah tangka a thong cum touh laiba ka tawn e san buet touh hah a hmalah a thokhai awh.
And when he began to settle, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
25 Ahni ni laiba patho nahan a tawn hoeh dawkvah ama hoi a yucanaw a tawn e hnonaw pueng yawt nateh laiba patho naseh telah a bawi ni kâ a poe.
But of him not having to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all things, as many as he had, and payment to be made.
26 Hote san ni a tabo teh Bawipa, na pahren ei, laiba kaawm e pueng hah na patho han atipouh navah,
The bondman therefore having fallen down, worshiped him, saying, Lord, be patient toward me and I will pay thee all.
27 A bawipa ni a pahren teh laiba kaawm e pueng hah a raphoe pouh teh a hlout sak.
And having felt compassion, the lord of that bondman released him, and forgave him the debt.
28 Hote san teh a cei navah ama koe tangka 100 touh ka ba e san van hai a hmu toteh, tangka na patho leih ti teh a lahuen dawk a kara pouh.
But after going out, that bondman found one of his fellow bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having grabbed him, he choked him, saying, Pay me if thou owe anything.
29 Hote san van ni hai a khok rahim a tabo pouh teh, kai hah na pahren ei, laiba kaawm e pueng hah na patho han doeh telah a kâhei ei nakunghai,
So his fellow bondman having fallen down at his feet, besought him, saying, Be patience toward me, and I will pay thee.
30 tha laipalah laiba a patho hoehroukrak thongim thung vah a paung.
But he would not, instead, having left him, he cast him into prison until he would pay that which was owed.
31 Hottelah e hno hah alouke sannaw ni a hmu awh navah, a lung puenghoi a pataw awh teh, a sakyoe e pueng hah amamae bawipa koe a cei awh teh a dei pouh awh.
And when his fellow bondmen saw the things that happened, they were extremely sorry. And after coming, they reported to their lord all the things that happened.
32 Hat toteh, a bawipa ni hote san hah a kaw teh, Oe! san kathout, nang ni na kâhei dawkvah na laiba pueng hah ka raphoe teh na hlout sak.
Then his lord having summoned him, he says to him, Thou evil bondman, I forgave thee all that debt because thou besought me.
33 Kai ni na pahren e patetlah nang ni na san hui hah, na pahren kawi nahoehmaw atipouh.
Was it not necessary for thee also to be merciful to thy fellow bondman, as I also was merciful to thee?
34 A bawipa teh a lungkhuek dawkvah a laiba pueng koung a patho hoehroukrak rektapkungnaw kut dawk patang palai sak hanlah a poe.
And having become angry, his lord delivered him to the tormentors until he would pay all that was due to him.
35 Nangmouh haiyah hmaunawngha reira hah lungthin katang hoi na ngaithoum awh hoehpawiteh kalvanlae Apa ni hot patetvanlah nangmouh lathueng vah a sak van han.
So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye do not forgive each man his brother, from your hearts, their trespasses.
