Matthew 18
1 In that hour, the disciples drew near to Jesus, saying, “Whom do you consider to be greater 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 Jesus, calling to himself a little child, placed him in their midst.
Yesu ayo vi kapran vren ri ye zi ni mba.
3 And he said: “Amen I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you shall not enter 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 Therefore, whoever will have humbled himself like this little child, such a one is greater 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 shall accept one such little child in my name, accepts me.
Iwa a kpa kpran vren to wayi a nimi nde mu, a kpa me.
6 But whoever will have led astray one of these little ones, who trust in me, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck, and to be submerged in the depths of the 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 Woe to a world that leads people astray! Although it is necessary for temptations to arise, nevertheless: Woe to that man through whom temptation arises!
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 So if your hand or your foot leads you to sin, cut it off and cast it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life disabled or lame, than to be sent into eternal fire having two hands or two feet. (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 leads you to sin, root it out and cast it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, than to be sent into the fires of Hell having two eyes. (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 See to it that you do not despise even one of these little ones. For I say to you, that their Angels in heaven continually look upon the face of my Father, who is 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.
11 For the Son of man has come to save what had been lost.
E ivren ndi aye bubu kpa kpye wa akado a cuwo.
12 How does it seem to you? If someone has one hundred sheep, and if one of them has gone astray, should he not leave behind the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go out to seek what has gone astray?
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 should happen to find it: Amen I say to you, that he has more joy over that one, than over the ninety-nine which did not go astray.
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 will before your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should be lost.
Ni nkon kima me, itie mbi ni shulu na son ndu iri nimi kpran mrli bayi yra tu na.
15 But if your brother has sinned against you, go and correct him, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you will have regained your brother.
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 listen you, invite with you one or two more, so that every word may stand by the mouth of two or three witnesses.
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 listen to them, tell the Church. But if he will not listen to the Church, let him be to you like the pagan and the tax collector.
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 Amen I say to you, whatever you will have bound on earth, shall be bound also in heaven, and whatever you will have released on earth, shall be released also 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 those among you have agreed on earth, about anything whatsoever that they have requested, it shall be done for them by my Father, who is 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 wherever two or three are gathered in my name, there am I, in their midst.”
Bubu wa indi ha ka tra ba shubi nimi nde mu mi he ni mba”.
21 Then Peter, drawing near to him, said: “Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Even 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 said to him: “I do not say to you, even seven times, but even seventy times seven times.
Yesu a saa nda hla wu, “Mina hla niwu ndi inkpu tangban na, ndu tangban tie nkpu se tangban.
23 Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is compared to a man who was king, who wanted to take account of his servants.
To kima me mulki shulu he to ichu ri wa a son bla ikpi ma niwo granma ba.
24 And when he had begun taking account, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Asi bla rji nigranma u mumla wa ata hu talent dubu setra.
25 But since he did not have any way to repay it, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children, and all that he had, in order to repay it.
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 But that servant, falling prostrate, begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.’
U granma ka kujoku ni meme nda kukhwu nda tre, 'Tie koh mu, vu gble ni mu, mi hanwu wawuu'.
27 Then the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, released him, and he forgave his debt.
A lo tiekoh gran kima sron wa ka cuu cuwo nda wru ihla hle ni wu.
28 But when that servant departed, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarius. And taking hold of him, he choked him, saying: ‘Repay what you owe.’
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 And his fellow servant, falling prostrate, petitioned him, saying: ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.’
U ikpan ndu ma igran a brewu vu gble nimu mi hanwu ikpye wa mi kpaa wawuu?
30 But he was not willing. Instead, he went out and had him sent to prison, until he would repay the debt.
U gran u mumla ka kama. A tie sron nda nji wu ka tro zi inton wa ani hanwua.
31 Now his fellow servants, seeing what was done, were greatly saddened, and they went and reported to their lord all that was 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 called him, and he said to him: ‘You wicked servant, I forgave you all your debt, because you pleaded with 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 Therefore, should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I also had compassion on you?’
Iwu una wruhle ni nkpan ndu me nawa mi wruhle ni wu ana?
34 And his lord, being angry, handed him over to the torturers, until he repaid the entire 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, too, shall my heavenly Father do to you, if each one of you will not forgive his brother from your hearts.”
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.
