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?”
Shipindi shilii wafundwa wamgenderiti Yesu kumkosiya, “Hashi, ndo gaa hakaweri mkulu Muufalumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu?”
2 And Jesus, calling to himself a little child, placed him in their midst.
Su Yesu kamshema mwana yumu, kamgolosiya pakati pawu,
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.
na kalonga, “Nukugambirani nakaka pamuwera ndiri gambira wana awa hapeni mwingiri nakamu Muufalumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
4 Therefore, whoever will have humbled himself like this little child, such a one is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
Yakawera mkulu Muufalumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu ndo ulii yakalisulusiya mweni na kuwera gambira mwana ayu.
5 And whoever shall accept one such little child in my name, accepts me.
Na yoseri yakamshemera mwana gambira ayu, kanshemera neni.
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.
“Yoseri yakamtenda yumu gwa wana wadidini awa katendi vidoda, iweri mbaka kwa muntu ulii kumtawalira musingu mwakuwi lwala na kumwasira mubahari.
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!
Shondi pasipanu toziya ya vintu vyavimtenda muntu katendi vidoda! Vintu avi mpaka vilawiri, kumbiti shondi kwa ulii yakayijega kwawomberi!
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)
“Handa liwoku lyaku ama ligulu lyaku palikutenda gutendi vidoda, gulidumuli na gulyasi kutali! Iherepa nentu kwingira muukomu pota na liwoku ama ligulu kuliku kuwera na mawoku goseri na magulu goseri na wakwasili mumotu yagutiya ndiri mashaka goseri. (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)
Handa lisu lyaku palikutenda gutendi vidoda, guliwusiyi! Iherepa nentu muntu kwingira muukomu wa mashaka goseri paguwera na lisu limu kuliku kuwera na masu goseri na wakwasili mumotu gwa Jehanamu. (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.
“Mulikali weri namumbeziya yumu gwa wadidini awa. Nukugambirani, wantumintumi wawu wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, shipindi shoseri wapalongolu pa Tati gwangu kakumpindi.
11 For the Son of man has come to save what had been lost.
Mwana gwa Muntu kiziti kulopoziya shilii shashiyagamiriti.
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?
“Mulihola hashi muntu pakawera na wakondolu miya na yumu pakayagamira hakatendi hashashi? Hakawaleki walii lilongu tisa na tisa palugongu na kugenda kumsakula ulii yakagamiriti.
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.
Pakamwona, nukugambirani nakaka hakamnemeleri ulii kondolu yumu yakagamiriti kuliku mlilongu tisa na tisa yawagamiliti ndiri.
14 Even so, it is not the will before your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should be lost.
Ntambu ira ayi Tati gwenu gwa kumpindi kafira ndiri ata yumu gwa wadidini kagamiri.
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.
“Handa mlongu gwaku pakakukoseya, gumgenderi gwakamberiziyi. Gutendi hangu pamuwera gweka yenu. Pakakupikanira hagumpati mlongu gwaku.
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.
Kumbiti pakakupikanira ndiri, gumtoli muntu yumu ama wawili pamuhera na gwenga, su muyoweri kwa wapitawu wawili ama watatu, Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalembitwi.
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.
Na pakashipikanira ndiri ashi, gutakuli kila shintu mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu. Upeleru pakashipikanira ndiri shipinga ashi, gumloli gambira muntu yakamumana ndiri Mlungu ama mtola kodi.
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.
“Su nukugambirani woseri, shamlewelera pasipanu shileweleritwi kala kumpindi kwa Mlungu na shamulekeziya pasipanu shilekeziwitwi kala kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
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.
“Nukugambirani kayi, wawili wenu pasipanu pawajimilirana kumluwa Mlungu shoseri, Tati gwangu gwa kumpindi hakawatenderi shitwatila ashi.
20 For wherever two or three are gathered in my name, there am I, in their midst.”
Wantu wawili ama watatu pawaliwona pamuhera kumluwa Mlungu mulitawu lyaneni, hanweri pamuhera na womberi.”
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?”
Shakapanu Peteru kamgenderiti Yesu na kumkosiya, “Mtuwa, hashi mlongu gwangu pakankoseya numulekiziyi mala ninga? Hashi, mala saba?”
22 Jesus said to him: “I do not say to you, even seven times, but even seventy times seven times.
Yesu kamwankula, “Ndala, mala saba ndiri kumbiti miya msheshi na lilongu tisa,
23 Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is compared to a man who was king, who wanted to take account of his servants.
toziya Ufalumi wa kumpindi ulifana na ntambu ayi. Kuweriti na mfalumi yumu yakafiriti kulola mawalanga ga wantumintumi wakuwi.
24 And when he had begun taking account, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Pakanjiti kutenda hangu, wamjegera muntu yumu yakaweriti wankumshonga mpiya elufu lilongu.
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.
Ntumintumi ulii kaweriti ndiri na mpiya zitosha zya kulipa uwanda wakuwi, su mfalumi kalagaliriti kuwera yomberi wamuwuzi gambira ntumintumi pamuhera na mdala gwakuwi na wana wakuwi na vyoseri vyakawera navi su kalipi uwanda.
26 But that servant, falling prostrate, begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.’
Ntumintumi ulii kasuntamala palongolu pa mfalumi na kamluwiti, ‘Gunheperi huti, hanukulipi kila shintu!’
27 Then the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, released him, and he forgave his debt.
Mtuwa gwa ntumintumi ulii kamwoneriti lusungu, su kamlekeziya uwanda ulii na kamleka kagendi zakuwi.
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.’
“Ntumintumi ulii pakawukiti, kaliwoniti na yumu gwa wantumintumi wayaguwi yakaweriti kankumshonga mpiya miya yimu. Su kamkamula yomberi na kanjiti kumkaba singu pakamgambira, ‘Gunipi shilii shagunkopiti!’
29 And his fellow servant, falling prostrate, petitioned him, saying: ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.’
Ntumintumi myaguwi kamsuntamalira na kamluwa pakalonga, ‘Gunheperi wuti, hanukulipi uwanda waku woseri!’
30 But he was not willing. Instead, he went out and had him sent to prison, until he would repay the debt.
Kumbiti yomberi kajimiriti ndiri, su kamtatira mushibetubetu mpaka pakalipa lideni lilii.
31 Now his fellow servants, seeing what was done, were greatly saddened, and they went and reported to their lord all that was done.
Wantumintumi wayaguwi pawawoniti vitwatira vyavilawiliti, wahinginikiti nentu na wagenditi kumgambira Mfalumi kila shintu.
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.
Mfalumi kamshema ntumintumi ulii na kamgambira, ‘Gwenga gwa ntumintumi gufaa ndiri! Neni nukulegeziya toziya gunduwiti nukulegiziyi.
33 Therefore, should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I also had compassion on you?’
Gufiruwitwi gwenga gumwoneri lusungu ntumintumi muyagu ntambu yanukuwoniriti lusungu gwenga.’
34 And his lord, being angry, handed him over to the torturers, until he repaid the entire debt.
Mfalumi kakalariti nentu, kamlaviya ntumintumi ayu wamwazibu na kumtatira mushibetubetu mpaka pakalipiti uwanda woseri.”
35 So, too, shall my heavenly Father do to you, if each one of you will not forgive his brother from your hearts.”
Na Yesu kamaliriti kwa kulonga, “Ndo Tati gwangu gwa kumpindi hakawatenderani ntambu ira ayi kila muntu pakati penu pakamlegeziya ndiri mlongu gwakuwi kulawa mumoyu mwakuwi.”
