Mathayo 18
1 E kindeno jopuonjre nobiro ir Yesu mopenje niya, “En ngʼa maduongʼ moloyo e pinyruodh polo?”
At that hour came the disciples near to Jesus, saying, 'Who, now, is greater in the reign of the heavens?'
2 To noluongo nyathi moro matin mi okete ochungʼ e diergi.
And Jesus having called near a child, did set him in the midst of them,
3 Eka nowacho niya, “Awachonu adier ni ka ok ulokoru ma uchalo gi nyithindo matindo, to ok ubi donjo e pinyruodh polo ngangʼ.
and said, 'Verily I say to you, if ye may not be turned and become as the children, ye may not enter into the reign of the heavens;
4 Emomiyo ngʼato angʼata mobolore kaka nyathini e ngʼat maduongʼ moloyo e pinyruodh polo.
whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the reign of the heavens.
5 Kendo ngʼato angʼata morwako nyathi machal kama e nyinga to an ema orwaka.
'And he who may receive one such child in my name, doth receive me,
6 “To ka ngʼato omiyo achiel kuom jomatindo moyie kuomagi odonjo e richo to dibed maber ka otwene pongʼ marangʼongo e ngʼute bangʼe onyumego e chuny nam.
and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged upon his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.
7 “Piny none malit nikech gik mamiyo ji donjo e richo! Ochuno ni gik makamagi nyaka bedie, to okwongʼ ngʼatno makelo gigo!
'Woe to the world from the stumbling-blocks! for there is a necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but woe to that man through whom the stumbling-block doth come!
8 Ka lweti kata tiendi miyo idonjo e richo to ngʼade oko kendo iwite mabor. Ber moloyo kidonjo e ngima ka ionge lweti kata kingʼol moloyo bedo gi lwetegi ariyo kata tiendeni ariyo to owiti e mach manyaka chiengʼ. (aiōnios g166)
'And if thy hand or thy foot doth cause thee to stumble, cut them off and cast from thee; it is good for thee to enter into the life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast to the fire the age-during. (aiōnios g166)
9 Kamano bende ka wangʼi miyo itimo richo to lodhe oko kendo iwite mabor. Ber moloyo kidonjo e ngima gi wangʼ achiel kar bedo gi wenge ariyo to owiti e mach mar Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
'And if thine eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee; it is good for thee one-eyed to enter into the life, rather than having two eyes to be cast to the gehenna of the fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 “Neuru ni ok uchayo achiel kuom jomatindogi. Nimar anyisou ni malaikegi manie polo osiko ka ngʼiyo wangʼ Wuora manie polo. [
'Beware! — ye may not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you, that their messengers in the heavens do always behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens,
11 Nikech Wuod Dhano osebiro mondo owar joma olal.]
for the Son of Man did come to save the lost.
12 “Uparo nade? Ka ngʼato nigi rombe mia achiel, to achiel kuomgi olal, donge ngʼatno diwe piero ochiko gochikogo mi odhi omany achiel molalno?
'What think ye? if a man may have an hundred sheep, and there may go astray one of them, doth he not — having left the ninety-nine, having gone on the mountains — seek that which is gone astray?
13 To awachonu adier ni ka oyude to obedo mamor kuom rombo achielno, moloyo kuom piero ochiko gochiko mane ok olal.
and if it may come to pass that he doth find it, verily I say to you, that he doth rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray;
14 Machalre gi mano, wuonu manie polo ok dwar ni kata achiel kuom jomatindogi olal.
so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.
15 “Ka owadu ochwanyi to dhi kendo inyise kethone, mana e kindu kode ji ariyo. Ka ochikoni ite mowinjo to mano iseloso kindi gi owaduno.
'And if thy brother may sin against thee, go and show him his fault between thee and him alone, if he may hear thee, thou didst gain thy brother;
16 To ka otamore winji to kaw ngʼato achiel kata ji ariyo idhi iwuogo kode, mondo, wach moro mantie e kind ji nyaka ngʼere malongʼo ka nitiere joneno ariyo kata adek.
and if he may not hear, take with thee yet one or two, that by the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may stand.
17 Kodagi winjogi, to nyis kanisa wachno; to kodagi winjo nyaka kanisa, to kawe kaka dikaw ngʼat ma japiny kata jasol osuru.
'And if he may not hear them, say [it] to the assembly, and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to thee as the heathen man and the tax-gatherer.
18 “Awachonu adier ni gimoro amora mutweyo e piny-ka notwe e polo bende, kendo gimoro amora mugonyo e piny-ka nogony e polo bende.
'Verily I say to you, Whatever things ye may bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever things ye may loose on the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.
19 “Awachonu bende ni ka ji ariyo kuomu e piny-ka owinjore kuom gimoro amora mukwayo to Wuora manie polo notimnugo.
'Again, I say to you, that, if two of you may agree on the earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask — it shall be done to them from my Father who is in the heavens,
20 Nimar kama ji ariyo kata adek ochokoree e nyinga to an kodgi kanyo.”
for where there are two or three gathered together — to my name, there am I in the midst of them.'
21 Eka Petro nobiro ir Yesu mopenje niya, “Ruoth, owinjore awe ne owadwa ndalo adi kokethona? Nyaka ndalo abiriyo koso?”
Then Peter having come near to him, said, 'Sir, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him — till seven times?'
22 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Awachoni ni ok nyadibiriyo to nyadi piero abiriyo nyadibiriyo.
Jesus saith to him, 'I do not say to thee till seven times, but till seventy times seven.
23 “Mano emomiyo pinyruodh polo chal gi ruoth mane dwaro nono kaka jotichne osetiyo gi pesane.
'Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants,
24 Kane ochako timo nonrono, ngʼat moro mane nigi gope moromo silingʼ tara gi tara ne okel e nyime.
and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents,
25 To kaka ne ok onyal chulo gopeno, ruodhe nogolo chik mondo en kaachiel gi chiege gi nyithinde, kod gik moko duto mane en-go ousi mondo ochul gowino.
and he having nothing to pay, his lord did command him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he had, and payment to be made.
26 “To jatijno nogoyo chonge piny e nyime, moywagorene ni, ‘Yie ihorina mos, abiro chuli gopino duto.’
The servant then, having fallen down, was bowing to him, saying, Sir, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;
27 Ruodh jatijno nokeche mi owene gopeno kendo ogonye odhi.
and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion did release him, and the debt he forgave him.
28 “To bangʼ ka jatijno nosedhi, noyudo achiel kuom jotich wetene mane nigi gope moromo dinari mia achiel. Nomake matek mochako deye, kowachone ni, ‘Chula gopa ma in-go sani!’
'And, that servant having come forth, found one of his fellow-servants who was owing him an hundred denaries, and having laid hold, he took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that which thou owest.
29 “Jatich wadgino nogoyo chonge piny e nyime moywagorene ni, ‘Yie itimna ngʼwono, abiro chuli gopi.’
His fellow-servant then, having fallen down at his feet, was calling on him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;
30 “To nodagi. Kar timo kamano to noa kanyo mi oloso wach mondo orwak ngʼatno e od twech nyaka chop ochul gowino.
and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, till he might pay that which was owing.
31 Kane jotich mamoko oneno gima notimoreno, chunygi nodoko malit ahinya kendo negidhi mi ginyiso ruodhgi gik moko duto mane osetimore.
'And his fellow-servants having seen the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, and having come, shewed fully to their lord all the things that were done;
32 “Eka ruodhno noluongo jatichneno ire, mowachone ni, ‘An ne aweni gopa mane in-go duto nikech ne iywagorina mondo atim kamano.
then having called him, his lord saith to him, Evil servant! all that debt I did forgive thee, seeing thou didst call upon me,
33 Angʼo momiyo in to ne itamori kecho jatich wadu kaka an bende ne akonyi?’
did it not behove also thee to have dealt kindly with thy fellow-servant, as I also dealt kindly with thee?
34 Ruodhe ne mirima omako kode mi nochiwe e lwet jo-jela mondo orodhe maonge kech, nyaka chop ochul gowi duto mane en-go.
'And having been wroth, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, till he might pay all that was owing to him;
35 “Kamano e kaka Wuora manie polo biro timo ne ngʼato ka ngʼato ka ok oweyo ne nyawadgi gie chunye.”
so also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.'
