Matayo 18
1 Kekala katema kala ŵakulijiganya ŵaichilile Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Ana nduni jwaali jwankulungwa mu Umwenye wa kwinani?”
At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Then which one is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens?
2 Che Yesu ŵambilasile mwanache, ŵanjimiche mmbujo mwao.
And Jesus calling a little child to Him, placed it in the midst of them,
3 Nipele ŵatite, “Isyene ngunsalila, iŵaga ngankugalauka ni kuŵa mpela ŵanache, nganjinjila kose mu umwenye wa kwinani.
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 Nipele jwalijose jwakulitimalika mpela aju mwanache ju, jwelejo ni jwali jwankulungwa mu umwenye wa kwinani.
Therefore whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens;
5 Jwalijose jwakumpochela mwanache jumo mpela aju mu liina lyangu, jwelejo akumbochela une.”
and whosoever shall receive such little child in my name, receives me.
6 “Nambo jwalijose juchantende jumo jwa achanandi ŵa, ŵakungulupilila une atende sambi, ikaliji yambone kwa ŵelewo ataŵikwe pa lukosi liganga lyekulungwa lya kusyajila ni kumponya mu bahali pakwendesya nnope.
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 Ulaje chiuŵe kwa ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo kwa ligongo lya kuichisya indu ya kwatenda ŵandu atende sambi. Indu yo ikusachilwa ikopochele nambo ulaje kukwakwe mundu juchaichenawo indu yo.
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 “Iŵaga nkono wenu pane lukongolo lwenu lukuntenda ntende sambi, mmukate nkaujase kwakutalika. Mmbaya kukwenu kwinjila mu umi pangali nkono umo pane lukongolo lumo kupunda kuponyekwa pa mooto wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi wangasimika ndi ni makono gaŵili ni makongolo gaŵili. (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 Ni liso lyenu lyantendaga ntende sambi, nlikolopole ni kuliponya kwakutalika. Mmbaya kukwenu kwinjila mu umi wangamala ni liso limo, kupunda kuponyekwa pa mooto wangasimika moŵa gose pangali mbesi ndi ni meeso gaŵili. (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 “Nlilolechesye! Nkanchembulusya jumo jwa achanandi ŵa. Ngunsalila, achikatumetume ŵao kwinani ko moŵa gose akulola usyo wa Atati ŵaali kwinani.
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 Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu ŵaiche kukwakulupusya aŵala ŵaŵasochele.
12 “Ana ŵanyamwe nkuti uli, Mundu akolaga ngondolo mia moja, ni jasochelaga ngondolo jimo, ngaasileka ngondolo tisini na tisa sila pasyaliji po ni kwaula kukujisosa jajisochele jila?
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 Ajisimanaga, ngunsalila isyene, akusengwa ligongo lya jejila kusipunda tisini na tisa syangasochela sila.
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 Iyoyo Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani ngakusaka ata jumo jwa achanandi ŵa kuti asochele.
So it is not the will of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.
15 “Nlongo njenu anleŵelaga, munjaulile nkanlosye chileŵo chakwe nli ŵaŵili pe. Ampilikanilaga chimme mumpatile nlongo njenu.
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 Nambo iŵaga ngakumpilikanila, munjigale mundu jumo pane ŵaŵili pakuti kwa kang'wa sya ŵaumboni ŵaŵili pane ŵatatu, kila liloŵe likaluche, mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala.
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 Akanaga kwapilikanichisya ŵanyawo, muusalile mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Ni akanaga kuupilikanila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, mummalanjile yalumo mundu jwangakwamanyilila Akunnungu ni jwakukumbikanya nsongo.
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 “Ngunsalila isyene, gagali gose gachingakanye pachilambo chigaŵe gamakanikwe kwinani ni gagali gose gachingakunde pachilambo, chigaŵe gamakundikwe kwinani.
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 “Ngunsalila isyene, ŵaŵili pasikati jenu ajilanaga pachilambo pano kwa chindu chachilichose chichaŵende, Atati ŵangu ŵa kwinani chiŵapanganyichisye chindu cho.
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 Pakuŵa palipose pakusongangana ŵandu ŵaŵili pane ŵatatu pamo kwa liina lyangu, une ndili pelepo ni ŵanyawo.”
For where two or three are assembled in my name, there I am in the midst of them.
21 Nipele, che Petulo ŵaichile Che Yesu nikuti, “Ambuje, ana mpwanga aneŵele kalingwa none naalechelesye? Mala saba?”
Then Peter, coming to Him, said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?
22 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ngangunsalila mala saba pe, nambo saba mala sabini.
Jesus says to him, I say not unto thee, Until seven time; but Until seventy times seven.
23 Kwayele, Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mwenye jumo juŵasakaga kulola achikapolo ŵakwe yatite pakupanganya.
Therefore the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a kingly man, who wished to make a reckoning with his servants.
24 Paŵatandite kulola, ŵannyichisye mundu jumo juŵaliji ni ligambo lya mamilioni kwa mamilioni.
And he beginning to reckon, one was brought to him owing him myriads of talents.
25 Mundu jo nganakola chakulipa, kwayele ambujegwe ŵalamwile asumisikwe nti kapolo mundu jula ni ŵankwakwe ni achiŵanagwe ni yanayose iŵakwete, kuti ligambo limale.
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 Nipele, kapolo jula ŵatindiŵele mmbujo pa ambujegwe ni kwaŵenda achitiji, ‘Ambuje mumbililile kaje, none chinanlipe yose.’
Then that servant falling down, continued to worship him, saying, Be patient with me, and I will pay you all.
27 Mmbujegwe kapolo jula ŵankolele chanasa, ŵannechelesye ligambo lila, ni kuntendela ajaule.
The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, sent him away, and forgave him the debt.
28 “Nambo kapolo jula ŵatyosile, ŵansimene jumo jwa achikapolo achinjakwe juŵandaiji mbiya kanandi. Ŵankamwile ni kunkamula pa lukosi achitiji, ‘Nlipe ligambo lyenu!’
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 Nombe kapolo njakwe jula ŵatindiŵele pa makongolo gakwe ŵanchondelele achitiji, ‘Mumbililile kaje, none chinanlipe yose’.
Then his fellow-servant falling down, continued to intreat him, saying, Be patient with me and I will pay thee.
30 Nombejo ŵakanile, ŵajawile kukumponya mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa, mpaka patachilipa ligambo lila.
And he was not willing: but having gone away he cast him into prison, until he could pay that which was owing.
31 “Nipele, achikapolo achinjakwe paŵaiweni yeleyo ŵasongoneche nnope, ŵajawile kukwasalila ambuje ŵao yose iyatendekwe.
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 Pele ambujegwe ŵammilasile ni kunsalila, ‘Ugwe jwakutumichila jwangalumbana nnope! Nannechelesye ligambo lila lyose pamwanjondelele.
Then his lord calling him says to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, since thou didst intreat me:
33 Ana nganinsachilwa kunkolela chanasa kapolo njenu jo mpela inatite pakunkolela chanasa mmwe?’
did it not behoove thee also to have mercy on thy fellow-servant, as I had mercy on thee?
34 “Nipele mmbujegwe jula ŵatumbile nnope, ŵampeleche katumetume jula kwa ŵakulagasya mpaka pele patachilipa ligambo lyose.
And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormenters, until he should pay all that was due him.
35 Ni atati ŵangu ŵa kwinani chachintendela iyoyo peyo iŵaga jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe ngannechelesya mpwakwe ni mtima wakwe wose.”
Thus my Heavenly Father will also do unto you, if you do not forgive each one his brother from your hearts.
