Matthew 18
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
Erah tok adi heliphante loong Jisu jiinni wang rum ano, cheng rumta, “Rangmong Hasong ni elongthoon ah o ah?”
2 Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
Eno Jisu ih noodek ah poon ano, neng ngathong ni chap thukta,
3 “Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
eno baat rumta, “Ngah ih ami tiit baat rumhala sen arah noodek ah likhiik lalekkan bah, sen babah uh rangmong Hasong nah tachowang kan.
4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Rangmong Hasong nah bah toongtang mina arah noodek likhiik angte loong aba elongthoon ang ah.
5 And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
Eno o mina ih arah likhiik noodek ah nga mendoh noppoon ah, erah ih ngah noppoon halang.
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.
“O ih bah uh ngah suh hanpiite mina loong ah rangdah nah datsiit abah, erah mih rah ih jonglo ah bonjek ano juungsih nah lupdat ah eseethoon ang ah.
7 Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!
Tumthan echoojih ah arah mongrep raangtaan ih ah, tumeah neng tuungmaang matsiitjih ah eje! Erah likhiik ah saarookwih banlang ruh eah—enoothong erah reete loong raang ih tumthan echoojih ang ah!
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)
“Anlak an lah ih an tuungmaang ah thetsiit halu bah, thadook uno haat uh! Laktuh latuh ih Rangmong nah chowang ah ese ang ah, lak alah pan ih roitang we nah khaamwang nang ih bah ah. (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)
Erah dam ih an mik ih an tuungmaang ah thetsiit halu bah, doklot haat et uh! Mikko ih Rangmong nah wang ah ese ang ah mik hop soolam nah roitang we nah khaamwang nang ih bah ah. (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.
“Naririh ih ban sok an arah noodek loong ah babah uh nak thaangju an. Ngah ih baat rumhala, neng Rangsah loong ah saarookwih rangmong ni seng Wah damdi tong rumla.
Tumeah Mina Sah ah saapsah emat ete loong pang raangtaan ih ra taha.
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?
“Mih wasiit ih heh saapsah chaasiit dowa esiit ah mat haat abah, sen ih tumjih thun an? Heh ih rook akhuh akhuh ah kaanjang adoh naamphak thengnah thiinhaat ano esiit marah emat eta saapsah rah jam sokkah ah.
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.
Ngah ih baat rumhala, heh ah esiit emat eta ah japjam ano rook akhuh akhuh loong nang ih ehan ih roon ah.
14 In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
Erah likhiik Rangmong nawa sen Wah reh uh arah noodek loong dowa esiit uh nak toom mah ah ih thunha.
15 If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
“Anphoh anno an damdoh rangdah mok re haabah, kah uno heh moongtaang ah dokbaat uh. Enoothong husah ih set cham chamchi nah hot baattaan mui theng. Heh ih an jeng ah thaangchaat abah, erah an ih engaak jen ettu.
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.’
Enoothong heh ih lathaang chaatka bah, an damdoh wasiit nyi than waksiit kaat uh, ‘tumeah wanyi wajom jengkhaap nawa ih esek ejih mok lang eah, ‘Rangteele ni jengla likhiik ah.
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.
Eno erah uh heh ih lachaatka bah, chaas nah noksong suh dokbaat an. Erah taan uh lalaat chaatka bah, erah mih asuh Ranglajatte adoleh sokse seete ih ejen li et an.
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.
“Erah thoidi Ngah ih baat rumhala: marah sen ih arah hatoh ni ehaam et han rah rangmong nah uh ehaam et ah, nyia marah sen ih hatoh ni jen re thuk ehan erah rangmong nah uh ejen re ejih ang ah.
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.
“Erah dam ih Ngah ih boot baat rumhala: arah hatoh nah marah sen wanyi ah roomtong anno thungpun lam ih rangsoom anbah, erah ah Rangmong nawa seng Wah ih sen suh ehoonkot ehan.
20 For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
Tumeah o mina wanyi jom nga mendoh lomtong ah, erah doh Ngah sen damdoh eje ang hang.”
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?”
Erah lidi Pitar ih Jisu suh cheng wangta, “Teesu, ngaaphoh ngaano nga damdoh mok miksuk muiha bah, ngah ih ja mathan jen biin anaan ang? Jaasinet taan tama?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
“Jaasinet tah angka,” Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Jaarook sinet jaasinet biin anaan theng,
23 Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
tumeah Rangmong hasong ah arah likhiik. Jaasiit luungwang wasiit ih heh laksuh loong dowa thaangsoot ngaaksuh rumta.
24 As he began the settlements, a debtor was brought to him owing ten thousand talents.
Luungwang ih thaang ah phang suh rum adi laksuh loong ah ih mih wasiit nopsiit wanrumta, erah mih adi luungwang thaangsoot hecha helaak tong arah angta.
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.
Erah laksuh adi thaangsoot jen themtheng ngun taluita, erah thoidi luungwang ih laksuh asuh heh minuh nyia hesuh hesah nyia heh nyamka loong ah sang ano thaang ah toom them ah ih baatta.
26 Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
Laksuh ah heh lakudi tong ano luungwang lasih jota. ‘Ngah biin anaan et weehang,’ ih chuut huungta, ngah ih ngaakthem et weeha!’
27 His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
Luungwang ih heh minchan ah dong ano heh thaangsoot uh lakah ngaaksuh thang ih biin anaan ano kaat thukta.
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!’
“Eno erah laksuh ah dokkhoom kah ano heh joonte laksuh wasiit di chomui kata, erah wah ah dowa ngun amasah ngaak chojih eje angta. Heh ih erah wah ah joh ano heboh ni supphiitta. Eno liita, ‘Nga ngun nam tahang ah ngaak kohang!’
29 So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
Heh joonwah laksuh ah kottong ano heh lasih ah jota, ‘Ngah biin anaan et weehang, ngah ih ngaakthem et weeha!’
30 But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
Ang abah uh heh tanookta; erah nang ih heh ih phaatak ni hethaang maang ngaakthem them et sakta.
31 When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.
Eno laksuh rukho loong ih erah sok rum ano rapne ih thungjoong rumta, eno luungwang asuh jaatrep baatwan rumta.
32 Then the master summoned him and declared, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
Eno luungwang ah ih laksuh ah noppoon wan ano liita. ‘Dah moong an ah! ‘Ngah ih botseh an dowa ngaak sujih angta ang ah biin anaan taha, an chuut huung thoidi ah.
33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
An ih uh an joonte ah minchan et jaat ba hanih, ngah ih an minchan taha likhiik ah.’
34 In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
Luungwang ah rapne ih khata, eno heh ih laksuh ah phaatak ni sak wanthuk ano hethaang maang ngaakthem them ih chamthukta.”
35 That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
Eno Jisu ih thoonbaatta, “Erah raang ih rangmong nawa seng Wah reh uh emamah et han sen joonte ah sen ten nawa ih lajen biin anaan kanbah ah.”
