Matthew 18
1 In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
To nathuem ah hnukbang kaminawk Jesu khaeah caeh o moe, siangpahrang mah uk ih van prae ah mi maw len koek tih? tiah a dueng o.
2 And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,
Jesu mah angmah khaeah nawkta ta to kawk moe, nihcae salakah ohsak.
3 and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Nihcae khaeah, Loktang kang thuih o, poek nam khraih o moe, nawkta ta baktiah na om o ai nahaeloe, van prae thungah na kun o thai mak ai.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
To pongah mi kawbaktih doeh hae nawkta ta baktiah poek pahnaemhaih hoiah khosah kami loe, van prae ah kalen koek kami ah om tih.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me:
Mi kawbaktih doeh nawkta to hae tiah ka hmin hoiah talawk kami loe kai talawk kami ah ni oh.
6 but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and [that] he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.
Toe kai tanghaih tawn hae nawktanawk thung ih kami maeto khaeah zaehaih sahsak kami loe, cangkaehhaih thlung tahnong ah a oihsak moe, kathuk tuipui thungah pakhrak nahaeloe anih han hoih kue tih.
7 Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!
Sakpazaehaih hmuen pongah long loe khosak bing! To baktih hmuen sakpazaehaih loe kaom han ih roe ni; toe hmuen sakpazaehaih omsak kami loe khosak bing!
8 And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
Na ban mah maw, to tih ai boeh loe na khok mah maw hmuen sah pazae nahaeloe takroek pat ah loe, va ving ah: ban hnetto hoi khok hnetto akoep ah dungzan hmai thungah na krak pongah loe, takpum akoep ai ah hinghaih thungah akun to hoih kue. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
Na mik mah hmuen sahpazae nahaeloe, taprok dok ah loe, va ving ah: mik hnetto hoi hell hmai thungah na krak pongah loe, mik maeto hoiah hinghaih thungah akun to hoih kue. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Hae nawktanawk thung ih kami maeto doeh na hnap o han ai ah acoe oh; kang thuih o, nihcae ih van kaminawk mah loe van ah kaom kam Pa ih mikhmai to a hnuk o toepsoep.
Kami Capa loe kanghmaa kami pahlong han ih ni angzoh.
12 How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray?
Kawbangah maw na poek o? Kami maeto loe tuu cumvaito tawnh, tuu maeto loklam amkhraeng ving nahaeloe, anih mah qui takawt, takawtto tuu to caehtaak sut ueloe, mae nuiah a caeh pacoengah, lam amkhraeng ving tuu maeto to pakrong mak ai maw?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray.
Loktang kang thuih o, anih loe lam amkhraeng ai tuu qui takawt, takawtto pongah, a hnuk ih tuu anghmaa maeto nuiah palung anghoe kue.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
To baktih toengah van ah kaom nangcae Ampa loe, hae nawktanawk thung ih kami maeto mataeng doeh anghmatsak han koeh ai.
15 And if thy brother sin against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Nam nawkamya mah na nuiah hmuen sah pazae nahaeloe, caeh ah loe, a zaehaih to nangma hnik salak khue ah thui ah: na thuih ih lok to anih mah tahngai nahaeloe, anih to na pazawk.
16 But if he hear [thee] not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established.
Toe anih mah na lok tahgai ai nahaeloe, kami hnetto maw, to tih ai boeh loe thumto hoiah maw caeh ah, hnukung kami hnetto maw, to tih ai boh loe thumto hoiah maw lokcaek ah.
17 And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican.
Anih mah nihcae ih lok tahgai ai bae nahaeloe, kricabu khaeah thui ah: kricabu mah thuih ih lok doeh tahngai ai vop nahaeloe, anih to taksa kami hoi tamut cong kami baktiah poek oh.
18 Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Loktang kang thuih o, Long nuiah na taoengh o ih hmuen boih van ah taoeng ueloe, long nuiah na khram o ih hmuen boih van ah khram tih.
19 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.
Kang thui o let bae, Long nuiah kami hnetto mah poek anghmonghaih hoiah kawbaktih hmuen doeh hnih nahaeloe, van ah kaom kam Pa mah nihnik hanah sah pae tih.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Kai ih ahmin hoiah kami hnetto maw, thumto maw angpophaih ahmuen ah, nihcae salakah kai ka oh, tiah a naa.
21 Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?
To naah Piter to Jesu khaeah caeh moe, Angraeng kam nawkamya mah ka nuiah hmuen sak pazae naah, vai nazetto maw ka tahmen han? Vai sarihto maw? tiah a naa.
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.
Jesu mah anih khaeah, Kang thuih, vai sarihto khue na ai: qui sarih, alet sarih karoek to, tiah a naa.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants.
To pongah van prae loe siangpahrang maeto mah, a tamnanawk khaeah laiba sukhaih hoiah anghmong.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
Anih mah laiba phoisa kroek amtong naah, phoisa sang hato laiba tawn kami maeto, anih khaeah hoih o.
25 But forasmuch as he had not [wherewith] to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Anih loe laiba pathok thai ai pongah, phoisa coisakkung mah, a zu a caa hoi a tawnh ih hmuenmae boih zawh pacoengah, laiba pathok hanah lok a thuih pae.
26 The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
To naah tamna loe anih hma ah tabok moe, tahmenhaih hnik, Angraeng, na tahmen raeh, kang pathok boih han hmang, tiah a naa.
27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
Tamna ih angraeng mah anih to tahmen moe, laiba to loihsak boih.
28 But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.
Toe to tamna loe tasa bangah tacawt naah, anih khaeah phoisa cumvaito kacoi, tamnanawk thungah kaom angmah ih ampui maeto a hnuk: anih to tahnong ah patawnh moe, laiba na pathok lai ah, tiah a naa.
29 So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.
Angmah ih ampui tamna loe anih khokkung ah tabok moe, na tahmen raeh, kang pathok boih han hmang, tiah tahmenhaih hnik.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due.
Toe anih to prawt ai: laiba pathok boih ai karoek to anih to thongim thungah pakhrak.
31 So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Angmah ih ampui tamnanawk mah to tiah sak ih hmuen to hnuk o naah, paroeai palung set o, nihcae loe caeh o moe, anih mah sak ih hmuennawk to angmacae ih angraeng khaeah a thuih pae o.
32 Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me:
To naah angmah ih angraeng mah, anih to kawk moe, anih khaeah, Aw kahoih ai kami tamna nang, kai khaeah tahmenhaih nang hnik pongah nang baa ih laiba to kang tahmen boih moe, kang loihsak:
33 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?
na nuiah tahmenhaih ka tawnh baktih toengah, nam puinawk nuiah tahmenhaih na tawn toeng han oh bae? tiah a naa.
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due.
Anih ih angraeng loe palungphui moe, laiba pathok boih ai karoek to tamna to thongim pakhrah kaminawk khaeah a paek.
35 So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
Nangcae doeh nam nawkamya zaehaih tahmen han na koeh o ai nahaeloe, van ah kaom kam Pa mah nangcae nuiah to tiah sah toeng tih, tiah a naa.
