Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Ni nton kima mrli koh ba baye ni Yesu nda tre, “Ahi nha mba nna wawuu ni mulki shulu?”
2 And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them,
Yesu ayo vi kapran vren ri ye zi ni mba.
3 And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.
Nda tre, “Njanjimu mi hla yiwu bi tie na katie to kpran mrli na, bi tie bre ri mulki shulu.
4 Whoever, then, will make himself as low as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Nawa, i waa aka tu ma grji to kpran vrenyi a ahi wawuyi nna wawuu ni mulki shulu.
5 And whoever gives honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me:
Iwa a kpa kpran vren to wayi a nimi nde mu, a kpa me.
6 But whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a great stone fixed to his neck, and to come to his end in the deep sea.
U i wa ayo ri nimikpran mrli bayi wa ba nyme ni me a ndu joku a ndi na bi zan niwu ndu ba bhan tita nra lo ka klo niwu ni to denyo ni mi honlon nne.
7 A curse is on the earth because of trouble! for it is necessary for trouble to come; but unhappy is that man through whom the trouble comes.
Iya ngbungblu yi ni tu inton wu k'bu za! ahi gbigbi ndu tita bi kbu za ba ndu ba ye iya ndi kima wa ani ndu tita biki ye rji ni wua!
8 And if your hand or your foot is a cause of trouble, let it be cut off and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with the loss of a hand or a foot than, having two hands or two feet, to go into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
U iwo me ka iza me nita ndu ni joku gyen u ka taga. A bi zan ndu ri ni koh Rji ni kpunkpu za kani kpunkpu wo niwa u ri ni mi lu ni wo me harli kani za me harli. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out, and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
U shishi me nita yo ndu joku kirewu cu taga abi zan ndu ri nimi koh Rji ni shishi ri niwa u ri ni mi lu ni shishi ba hamba wu. (Geenna g1067)
10 Let it not seem to you that one of these little ones is of no value; for I say to you that in heaven their angels see at all times the face of my Father in heaven.
Na ti bre renyu ni ri ni mi mrli bayi na. Mi hla yiwu maleku mba ba si ya shishi tiemu wa ahe ni shulua.
E ivren ndi aye bubu kpa kpye wa akado a cuwo.
12 What would you say now? if a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone wandering away, will he not let the ninety-nine be, and go to the mountains in search of the wandering one?
Bi tamre ni he? U indi ri nita he ni ntma darli ri, u ri ni mi mba zren hi kado ana ka mbru se tia don tia zi ni nei ngblu na hi wa iri ma wa aka doa na?
13 And if he comes across it, truly I say to you, he has more joy over it than over the ninety-nine which have not gone out of the way.
Wani ta towu, njanjimu mi hla ni yiwu ani ngyri ni tu riri kima zan imbru setia don tiawa bana kado naa.
14 Even so it is not the pleasure of your Father in heaven for one of these little ones to come to destruction.
Ni nkon kima me, itie mbi ni shulu na son ndu iri nimi kpran mrli bayi yra tu na.
15 And if your brother does wrong to you, go, make clear to him his error between you and him in private: if he gives ear to you, you have got your brother back again.
U vayi me nita latre niwu uka hi fe wu ni kankrji ma ndi mla tie biyi hambi wu. Ani ta wowu, ka wu nji vayi me kimaye.
16 But if he will not give ear to you, take with you one or two more, that by the lips of two or three witnesses every word may be made certain.
U ani tana wowu na, nji ndi ri ka iha ndu ba huhi ni ndu inyu indi ha ka tra tre nda hla ikpye wa ba toa.
17 And if he will not give ear to them, let it come to the hearing of the church: and if he will not give ear to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax-farmer.
Wa nita kama ni mba hla trea ni coci. Wani ta la kama ni wo coci a, cuwo ndu he na indi wa ana toh Rji a na ni na bi kpa bhan.
18 Truly I say to you, Whatever things are fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.
Njanjimu mi hla yiwu, ikpye wa bi lo ni ngbungblu a ba lowu ni shulu, u ikpye wa bi si u ni ngbungblua, ani si ni shulu.
19 Again, I say to you, that if two of you are in agreement on earth about anything for which they will make a request, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
Ngarli mi hla yiwu, biyi ndi harli ni ngbu ngblu bita kpanyme ni tu kpyeri wa bi myea itie mu wa ahe ni shulua ni tie ni bawu.
20 For where two or three are come together in my name, there am I among them.
Bubu wa indi ha ka tra ba shubi nimi nde mu mi he ni mba”.
21 Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? till seven times?
Bitru aye nda ye tre ni Yesu, “Baci vayimu ni tie latre ni mu mla inkpu bren rli mika wruhle niwu? Tona mla ikpu tangban?”
22 Jesus says to him, I say not to you, Till seven times; but, Till seventy times seven.
Yesu a saa nda hla wu, “Mina hla niwu ndi inkpu tangban na, ndu tangban tie nkpu se tangban.
23 For this reason the kingdom of heaven is like a king, who went over his accounts with his servants.
To kima me mulki shulu he to ichu ri wa a son bla ikpi ma niwo granma ba.
24 And at the start, one came to him who was in his debt for ten thousand talents.
Asi bla rji nigranma u mumla wa ata hu talent dubu setra.
25 And because he was not able to make payment, his lord gave orders for him, and his wife, and his sons and daughters, and all he had, to be given for money, and payment to be made.
Ana ye ni nkon u hanwu na u tie koh ma ka yo ba' ndu ba' vuu ni wama u mrli ma na ikpyi ma wawuu le nda han.
26 So the servant went down on his face and gave him worship, saying, Lord, give me time to make payment and I will give you all.
U granma ka kujoku ni meme nda kukhwu nda tre, 'Tie koh mu, vu gble ni mu, mi hanwu wawuu'.
27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, let him go, and made him free of the debt.
A lo tiekoh gran kima sron wa ka cuu cuwo nda wru ihla hle ni wu.
28 But that servant went out, and meeting one of the other servants, who was in debt to him for one hundred pence, he took him by the throat, saying, Make payment of your debt.
U gran kima a rju nda ka to gran ri ikpan u ndu ma wa ata hu hla dinari se wlon. A krjuu vu nda mawu toh nda tre han me hla wa mi hua.
29 So that servant went down on his face, requesting him and saying, Give me time and I will make payment to you.
U ikpan ndu ma igran a brewu vu gble nimu mi hanwu ikpye wa mi kpaa wawuu?
30 And he would not: but went and put him into prison till he had made payment of the debt.
U gran u mumla ka kama. A tie sron nda nji wu ka tro zi inton wa ani hanwua.
31 So when the other servants saw what was done they were very sad, and came and gave word to their lord of what had been done.
Wa imbru gran barima ba toh kpye a towa isron mba ka tie meme. Bahi ka hla tre a wawuu ni tiekoh mba.
32 Then his lord sent for him and said, You evil servant; I made you free of all that debt, because of your request to me:
U tiekoh gran mua ka yowu nda tre, “Iwu meme gran” mi wru hla me hle niwu wawuu ni tu wa u bre me a.
33 Was it not right for you to have mercy on the other servant, even as I had mercy on you?
Iwu una wruhle ni nkpan ndu me nawa mi wruhle ni wu ana?
34 And his lord was very angry, and put him in the hands of those who would give him punishment till he made payment of all the debt.
Tiekoh ma a tie nfu ni wu nda kawu nno bi tie ndi ya ni ndu han hla wawuu rli baka cuu cuwo.
35 So will my Father in heaven do to you, if you do not everyone, from your hearts, give forgiveness to his brother.
A nakima itie mu wa ahe ni shulu a ni tie ni yiwu bi wa bata na wruhle ni mrli vayi mba rji ni mi drii na.
