Mateyo 18
1 Kuchiindi eecho basikiiya bakaza kuli Jesu akwaamba kuti, “Ngwani mupati mubwami bwakujulu?”
In that hour the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
2 Jesu wakayiita kana kanini kulinguwe wakakkazika aakati kabo,
Yeshua called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
3 akwaamba kuti kasimpe ndamwaambilamkuti ado musanduke akuba mbuli kana kaniini takukwe nimunga muyoonjila mubwami.
and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 Nkaambo kakaako, kufumbwa ulibombya mbuli mwana muniini nguumupati mubwami bwakujulu.
Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
5 Kufumbwa utambula kana kaniini mbuli oobu muzina lyangu wambula ndime.
Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
6 Pesi kufumbwa utuka umwi wabaaba baniini bamusyoma ulabalebya, chilabota mbubo kulinguwe kuti aangwe ndomba lyabbwe munsingo yakwe, akubbizigwa aakati kalwizi.
but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
7 “Maawe kunyika nkaambo kazilebyo! Aboobo kuleelede kuti zilebyo zibe, pesi maawe kuli yooyo muntu weeta zilebyo!
“Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
8 Kuti luboko lwakp na chituta chako chikupa chilebyo, chigonke ukuwaalila kule anduwe, kuli mbubo, kunjila mubuumi koli chilema na kotyokede kwiinda kuowelwa mumulilo utamani koli aamaboko aabili na mawuulu aabili. (aiōnios g166)
If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 Na liso lyko likuchita kuba chilebyo, ulidadule ulisowele kule aanduwe. Kuli mbubo kuti unjle mubuumi aliso limwi kwiinda kusowelwa mubbila lyamulilo koli ameso aabili. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehinnom of fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 Amuchenjele kuti utasmpawuuli umwi wabaaba baniini. Mbuli mbundaamba kulindinywe kuti kujulu kuli baangelo lyoonse balanga kubusyu bwa Taata uli kujulu.
See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
11 Malembe mabotu achi Giliki taajisi munchali ooyo ulaabupanduliuzi bujanika muli bumwi, nkaambo Mwana aamuntu wakaza kuzoofutula eecho chakasweekede.
For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
12 Uyeeyanzi? Kuti umwi uli aambelele mwaanda, mpawo iimwi yasweek, takonzyi kusiya zili makumi aali musanu aane azili musanu azine aatala aakalundu akuya kuyooyanduula eeyo isweekede?
“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
13 Na wayijana, ndamwaambila kasimpe, ulabotelwa kwiinda eezyo zitasweekede.
If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
14 Munzila ikozyene, teesi kuyanda kwa Taata uli kujuliu kuti umwi wabaaba baniini kuti batafwidilili.
Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Kuti munyoko wakubisizya, koya ukamutapatile aakati kako anguwe luzutu. Na wakuswiilila, ulajana munyoko.
“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
16 Pesi na takuswiilili, bweza umwi na bambi babili kuti milomo yababili na baka, mboni batatu lyoonse jwi lilazuminika.
But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 Lino kuti wakaka kubaswiila, ambila mbungano, kuti wakaka alimwi kuswiilila mbungano, muleke aabe mbuli muhedeni akuba mbuli simutelo.
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
18 Ndamwaambila kasimpe, kufumbwa zintu nzimwaanga ansi zilaangwa akuju; lu, akufumbwa zyaangununwa ansi zilaanguununwa akujuliu.
Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
19 Alubo ndamwaambila na babili bazuninana atala achimwi nchibakumbila balachichitilwa a Taata uli kukulu
Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
20 . Aawa ali kobile na kotatu mpubabungene aamwi muzina lyangu, akooko ndinooli aakati kabo.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
21 Eelyo Pita waza akwaamba wati kuli Jesu, “Mwamio tungee mukwesu kandisizya nzyentimulekelele? Kusikila tuli musanu atubili!
Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
22 Jesu wakati kuli nguwe, “Tandimwaambili tuli musanu atubili, kusikila kumakumi musanu aabili katupetedwe kusika kumusanu atubili.
Yeshua said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
23 Nkaambo kaako bwami Bwakujulu bulikozyene awumwi Mwami wakayanda kubamba makani aababelesi bakwe.
Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Mbuli mbwakasanguna kubamba, umwi wababelesi wakaletwa kuli nguwe iwakapedwe kkumi lyazyuulu zyamataalenta.
When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 Pesi mbwatakajisi chakuliya, Mwami wakwe wakamulayilila kuti awuzigwe, antoomwe amwanakazi wakwe abana azyoonse nzyakaliya kuchitwe.
But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 Mpawo mubelesi wakawida ansi, wavundama akwaamba wati, “Mwami ndikkazike moyo, lino ndilakuya yoonse.
The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
27 Lino Mwami wamubelesi mbukunga wamufwida wamufwida luzyalo wamwaangwida mpawo wamulekelela chikoloto.
The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
28 Pesi mubesi ooyo wakeenda akujana umwi mubelesi wamunyina wakalijisi madinali mwaanda, wakamubweza, watalika kumusina akwaamba kuti ndiliye nzwakabweza kuli ndime.
“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
29 Mpawo mubelesinyina wakawida ansio wamukumbila wati, “Ndikkazikile moyo, ndilakuliya.
“So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
30 Pesi mubelesi mutaanzi wakakaka. kwiinda, wakaya wakuya kuyoomuwalila muntolongo kusika akaliye nzyakali mupede.
He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
31 Lino babelesinyina nibakabona zyakachika, bakawusa loko. Bakasika akwaambila mwami wabo zyoonse zyachitika.
So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
32 Mpawo mwami wamubelesi wakamwiita wati kulinguwe, iwe numubesi mubi, ndakakulekelela chikoloto choonse nkaambo wakandikumbila.
Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
33 Waleleede kumufwida luzyalo mubelesinyokwe, mbuli mbundakakufwida luzyalo?
Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
34 Mwami wakwe wakanyema akumupeda kuli basintolongo kusikila akaliye zyoonse nzyakabwezede.
His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 Mbuboobo alakwe Taata wakujulu mbwayoomuchitila na temwalekelela munyoko kuzwa mumoyo.
So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
