Matthew 18
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
Unsiekhe ghula avankonghi vakhincha khwa Yesu valikhumbula, “Vie veni uvavile imbaha kuludeva ulwa khukyanya?”
2 Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
Pwu akhamwilangha umwa undhebe akhambiekha paghati pa vene,
3 “Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
akhanchova, “Mwiedhikhaghe nikhuvavula, munghalekhe ukhunchilekha imbivi nukhuva ndavana avadhebe, samulienghila khuludheva ulwa Nguluve khukyanya.
4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Uvieikhieyisya mwene ndumwa udhebe, uywa veiva iembaha khu ludheva ulwa khukyanya.
5 And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
Nu vei ikhumwuphielila umwana undhebe khulitawa eilyangho iva ikhumokhela une.
6 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Hanghe yuywa iekhunjancha umwana undhebe yumo avikhunyiedhiekha, pwu lwiva lunonu umunu uywa ukhunkungha musingho eiliwe eilivaha elya khuhevelela, nu khunchikhuntagha mughati munyanja.
7 Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!
Ole khuva nkhilungha khumbombo incha khuyancha! Ulwa khuva nchilincha inongwa inchakhuyancha, ole khumunu uveighegha imbombo incha khuyancha!
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
Enghave eikhievokho kyakho fikhukhu yancha, ughiedhe utaghe khuvutali nuve. Pwu lwiva lunonu khulyuve ukwinghile khuludeva ulwa khukyanya vukhipungwikhe eikhivokho apanghe eikhilundhe. Hanghe unghave na mavokho ghavieli na malunde ghavieli utaghiwe mumwoto ghugwa saghulasila lusikhu. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
Nie liho lyakho lieghukhuyanche, uliehenche, ukhalietaghe pavutali nuve. Hoba ukwinghile khuludheva nie liho leimo eililola, nukwienghila na miho ghavile, nukhitaghiwa mu mumbuhighi uwa mwoto. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.
Mlolaghe mulavabeolagha udhebe yumo va ava. Niekhuvavula avasukhwa vavo avakhukyanya amanchuva ghoni vielola phamiho pha Dada vangho yaywa aliekhukyanya.
(“Ulwa khuva umwa va Adamu ainchile khukhie khiephokha khila iekhieyaghile).
12 What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?
Mwilola ndakhikhi? Umunu anghave nie ng'osi miamoja, yeimo yie nghayaghe, sakhanchielekhe nchila tisini na tisa, nukhuluta khukyamba, khulonda yiela iyieyaghile?
13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
Anghayievone iyiekhayaghila, mwiedhikhaghe, niekhuvavula, niehovokha ukhulutiela khunchila tisini na tisa nchincho sanchiyaghile.
14 In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
Vuyie liewo ewo saphunonghile pavulongholo vetu uvakhukyanya ukhuta undhebe yumo muava ayaghaghe.
15 If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
Ulukhololyo anghakhu nanghiele, ulute mukhanchovane muvulane umwe mwivavile mwie vene inchumuyaghine, anghakhuphulikhe wiva weikhiliwile ulukhololwo.
16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
Hanghe anghalekhe ukhukhuphulikha pwu untole uyungha umunu nu va viele nuvadaatu ukhuta amamenyu gha ava ghavinchaghe vusaidi pa vuyielweli aghivuliwa.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
Pwu anghabedhe ukhuvaphuhiencha, pwu mukhaghuvule umpelela, pwu aghalemwe ukhughuphuliehiencha umpelela, pwave munu va khuva khulyuve ndumunu untenghe nuo nsongha songho.
18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
Mwiedhikhaghe, mikhuvavula, ikyumuphulihana ukhukhiekhungha mukhilungha na khukhu kyanya khiva khiekhunghiwe.
19 Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.
Hanghe nikhuvavula ukhuta avanu vavieli mughati ndyumwe vanghiedhiehana mukhilungha khukhinu ikyuvidova, iekhuvapha ikhienu ikyuvidova, uDada vango uvakhukya iekhuvavombela.
20 For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
Ulwa khuva avanu vavieli aphanghe vadhatu vanghalundamane pwuphaninie khulitawa lyangho, une pwu niva paghati pavene.
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
Hanghe uPetro akhincha nukhumbula uYesu, “Nkhuludeva, pilondiwa ulukhololyo akhunanghiele khalienghi pwu wiesyiekhile? Ndawisyiekhile mara saba?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
U Yesu akhambula, “Sanikhukhuvula ukhuta mala saba, hanghe unsiekhile saba mala saba.
23 Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Ulwa khuva uludheva ulwa khukyanya lulieanile nuntwa yuomo uvieanogwagha ukhuliehania eimbalilo ukhuhuva khuva vanda vamwene.
24 As he began the settlements, a debtor was brought to him owing ten thousand talents.
Watenghwile ukhuliehania eimbalilo ya mwene, umbanda yumo va mwene vakhaghegha khumwene yuywa akhandhayagha, intalanta avaelfu khumi.
25 Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife and children and everything he owned.
Ulwa khuva alemwagha ukhuta ihomba ndakhiekhi, untwa vamwene akhalaghincha aghunchiwe, undhala va mwene na vavana vamwene na khila khinu eikyalienakyo, nuluhombo puluvombekhe.
26 Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
Umbendha ankaghwa, akhafughama pavulonghole pa mwene, akhanchova, “Nkhuludeva, uvinchaghe vakhu muliekhila pwu paninie nune, niekhukhuhomba khila khinu.'
27 His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
Pwu untwa va mbandha ula, ulwakhuva akholile eikhisa akhandhekha pwu akhansiekhila unkhole ngwa mwene.
28 But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’
Khanghe umbanda ula akhahuma hanghe akhambona yumo mu vavanda avanine, yuywa andhayagha unkhole idinali mia moja. Akhankwegha, akhunkhuda khusingho, nukhumbula ukhuta, 'Uhombe unkhole gwanghokhiekyo nikhukhumela.'
29 So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
Hanghe umbandha ula unine akhaghwa nukhundhova ukhulutielila, aliekhuta, “Uve munu vakhumuliekhila, une nikhukhuhomba.'
30 But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
Pwu umbanda uviatalile abelile. Pwu akhaluta nukhuntagha mumbunkhungwa, imphakha akhieva ihomba unklole gwa mwene.
31 When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.
Vavile vilola avavanda avanine nchila inchivombikhe. Vasaghile eino. Puvakhincha vakhambula untwa vavo khilakhieno iekhievumbikhe.
32 Then the master summoned him and declared, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
Pwu ule untwa va mbanda ula akhamwilangha, nukhumbula, 'Uve vie mbanda vintulanonghwa, nikhakhusyiekhile unkhole gwangho gwoni ulwa khuva ukhansiemielinche eno.
33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
Khekhi! Sukhalondiwagha ukhuta uvienchaghe niekhisa khumbanda nieno, nduvuniekhakhukholile einkhesa uve?
34 In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
Untwa va mwene akhaviepha pwu akhan'ielekha khuvavo vietesya imphakha upwakhiva iehomba unkhole fyoni fifyo akhandhayagha.
35 That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
Vuyayiwa ewo u Dada uvakhukyanya wayikhuvavombela, khila munu yuywa sakhasyiekhile ulukhololwe ukhuhuma munumbula yamwene.”
