Matthew 18
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
Unsiki ghulaghula avavulanisivua vakisa kwa Yesu na kukum'bula,”Ghwe veeni juuno m'baha mhu vutwa uvwa kukyanya?”
2 Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
U Yesu akakemela umwana un'debe, akam'bika pakati na kati pa vanave,
3 “Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
na kuti,”kyang'haani nikuvavuula, mungabuhile kulata na kuuva heene vaana vadebe namunganoghele kukwingila mhu vutua vwa Nguluve.
4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Pa uluo umuunhu ghweni juuno ikuviika heene mwaana n'debe, umunhu ndavule ujuo ghwe mbaha mhu vutua uvwa kukyanya.
5 And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
Kange umuunhu ghweni juuno ikumwupila umwaana u'debe mhu litavua lyango ikunyupila uune.
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.
Looli ghweni juno ipelepesia jumo pakati pa vadebe ava vano vikunyitika kugaluka, luuva lunono kwa muunhu ujuo ilivue ilivaha ilya kuhavulila likungua kusingo kwa mwene, kange kudwivilila mhu kyogho mhu nyanja.
7 Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!
Iiga khu iisi ulwakuva unsiki ughwa kukalasia! ulwakuuva nalunofu khu masiki aghuo kukwisa, looli iiga kwa juula umuunhu juula amasiki ghala ghikwisa vwimila umwene!
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)
Heene uluvoko lwako nambe ulughulu lwako lukukupelepesia kukalala, udumule kange utaghe kuvutali nhu nuve. Lunofu kyongo kulyuve juuve kukwingila khuvwumi kuuva nsila luvoko nambe uvulemavu, kuliko kutaghua khu mwooto ughwa kusila na kusila ghuva na mavoko ghooni nambe amaghulu ghooni. (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)
Heene iliso lyako likukukalasia, kuula kange ulitaghe kuvutali nuvee. Lunofu kyongo kulyuve juuve ghwingile kuvwumi nhi liiso limo, kuliko kutaghua khu mwooto aghwa kusila na kusila ghuva nha maaso ghooni. (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.
Lolagha kuuti mulisa kusyojola juumo ughwa vadebe ava. Ulwakuva nikuvavuula kuuti kukyanya kulivanyamola vavanave ifighono fyoni vilola uvweni vwa Nhaata ghwango juuno alikukyanya.
(Gadilila: Amasio ghanoghivoneka heene gha kidebe kya 11,”Ulwakuuva u mwaana ghwa Adamu akisile kukutupoka kiila kinokikasovile”naghakavonike mhu nakala innofu isa kali).
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?
Musagha kiiki? Pano umunhu alining'olo kijigho kimo, jimo musene isova, vuuli naikuvaleka ifijigho tanda ifya kufidunda na kuluta kukumulonda juumo juuno asovile?
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.
Kange angamwaghe, kyang'haani nikuvavuula, ikunkela kuliko vaala kijigho kimo nhu tanda vanonavisova.
14 In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
Pa uluo navwevwighane vwa Nhaata ghwinu ughwa kukyanya kuuti juumo mhu vadebe ava valemale.
15 If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
Heene unyalukolo ghwako angakukosele, luuta, ukansone ilidoa pakate palyuve nhu mwene pano iiva mwene jujuuo. Ndavule ikukupulikisia, ghuva ugomwisie unyalukolo ghwako.
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.’
Looli nave naikupulikisia, ntoole unyalukolo juumo nambe vavili kyongo palikimo nuuve, Ulwakuuva mumalomo agha volesi vavili nambe vatatu kiila lisio linoghile kukagulua.
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.
Nave ibeda kuvampulikisia, livule ilikong'ano ilisio ilio, nave ibeda vulevule kupulikisia ilikong'ano, looli avisaghe heene muunhu ughwa vapanji usonga songo.
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.
Kyang'haani nikuvavuula kyekyoni kiila kinomuliva mudinda mhu iisi na kukyanya kidindua. kange kyekyoni kinomudindula mhu iisi na kukyanya kidindulivua.
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.
Kange nikuvavuula kuuti nave avaanhu vavili pakati palyumue vangiting'ane vwimila vwa lisio lyelyoni pa iisi linovisuma, iilio u Nhaata ghwango ughwa kukyanya ivomba.
20 For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
Ulwakuva vavili nambe vatatu vangakong'ane palikimo khu litavua lyango, une nili pakatenakate naveene.
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?”
Pepano u Petro akisa na pikum'bula u Yesu,”ghwe Mutwa, na kalingi unyalukolo ghwango ifikuhoka une nisaghile? Nifikusaghilagha kuhanga kufika lekela lubale?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
U Yesu akam'bula,”Naniiti kufika lekela lubale, looli usaghilaghe fijigho lekela lubale.
23 Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Ulwakuuva ulu uvutwa vwa kukyanya vuling'ine ni kihwanikisio ikya ntwa jumonga juno akalondagha kuvala fino kuhuma kuvavombi vaake. Untwa ujuo ye atengwile
24 As he began the settlements, a debtor was brought to him owing ten thousand talents.
kuvala fino ikuvasighila, um'bombi jumo alyale isighilua italanta imbilima kijigho.
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.
Um'bombi ujuo ulwakuva alyakunilue kuhomba, untwa ghwa mwene alyaghile aghusivue, un'dala ghwake palikimo na vaana vaake ni fiinu fyoni fino alyale nafyo, neke ahombe fyoni.
26 Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
Pe um'bombi jula akaghua, akafughama pavulongolo pa mwene, akati,'Mutwa, uve nhu lugudo palikimo nune, ifinu fyako fyoni nihomba.'
27 His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
Pe untwa ughwa jula um'bombi, ulwakuva akasukumivue kyongo nhu lusungu, akantavula na kukunsaghila fyoni fino isighilia
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!’
Looli um'bombi jula ye avukile pala akatang'ana nu mbombi ujaake, juno alyale ikunsighila idinali kilundo. Akankola, akantaka kusingo, akam'bula,'Uhombe fyoni fino nikukusighila.'
29 So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
Looli um'bombi ujaake jula akafughama pa maaso ghaake, akampelepesia, akati,'Nisuma unguule padebe ifinu fyako fyoni fino nisighilua nihomba.'
30 But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
Neke um'bombi jula akakaana. pe, akaluta kukundindila ujaake mudinde, kuhanga pano ihomba ifinu fyoni fino isighilua.
31 When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.
Avavombi avajaake ye vasivwene isio. Vakalemala kyongo. Vakaluta na kukum'bula untwa ghuvanave sooni sino sivombike.
32 Then the master summoned him and declared, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
Pepano untwa akankemela um'bombi jula, akam'bula akati,'Ghwe m'bombi uve uli mbivi, uve ye unisumile une nakusaghila fyoni fino nakusighilagha.
33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
Asi! nuveele unoghile kukunsungukila umbombi un'jaako, ndavule une niveele nikunsungukile une?
34 In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
Untwa jula akakalala kyongo pe akalaghila atwalue mu ndinde kupumusivua kuhanga pano ihomba ifinu fyoni fino isighilua. Enendiiki na ju Nhaata
35 That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
ghwango ughwa kukyanya fye ilikuvahomba, na jumue nave namunkusaghila nhu mwoojo um'balafu unyalukolo.”
