Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens?
Gene mobhago bhaajiganywa gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu, gubhabhushiyenje, “Gani ali jwankulungwa Muupalume gwa Kunnungu?”
2 And Jesus having called a little child to [him], set it in their midst,
A Yeshu gubhanshemile mwana jumo, gubhannjimishe pakati jabhonji,
3 and said, Verily I say to you, Unless ye are converted and become as little children, ye will not at all enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
gubhashite, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, nkatendebhukanje nibha malinga bhana, ngu, nkajinjilanga Muupalume gwa Kunnungu.”
4 Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens;
Jojowe akwiinyegaya nibha malinga aju mwanaju, jwenejo shaabhe jwankulungwa Muupalume gwa Kunnungu.
5 and whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receives me.
Jojowe akumposhela mwana jumo malinga jweneju kwa ligongo lyangu nne, anamboshela nne.
6 But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.
Jojowe shannebhye jumo jwa bhashokonji bhaangulupalinga nne, mbaya akatabhilwe liganga likulungwa nnukoi nileshelwa pa shilindili sha mashi.
7 Woe to the world because of offences! For it must needs be that offences come; yet woe to that man by whom the offence comes!
Ole gwenunji bhandu bha pa shilambolyo kwa ligongo lya ilokoli. Ilokoli shiikoposhele, ikabheje ole gwakwe jwene shaikumbuyejo.
8 And if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut it off and cast [it] from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life lame or maimed, [rather] than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
“Monaga nkono eu lukongono lwenu lunnebhyaga, nnukate na nnjae kwataliya. Mbaya nnjinjile mugumi gwa pitipiti nni gwangali nkono eu lukongono, nngalingana na leshelwa pa moto gwa pitipiti nni na makono na makongono genu ganaabhili. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast [it] from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life one-eyed, [rather] than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
Liyo lyenu linnebhyaga, nnikolotole na kulijaa kwataliya. Mbaya nnjinjile mugumi gwa pitipiti nni na shongo, nngalingana leshelwa pa moto gwa ku Jeanamu nni na meyo genu ganaabhili. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that ye do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you that their angels in [the] heavens continually behold the face of my Father who is in [the] heavens.
“Mwiteiganje! Nnannyegayanje jumo jwa bhashokonjibha. Ngunakummalanjilanga, ashimalaika bhabhonji kunnunguko mobha gowe pubhalinginji tome na Atati bha Kunnungu.
11 For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.
Pabha Mwana juka Mundu ashinkwiya kwaatapulanga bhandu bhaobhilenje.
12 What think ye? If a certain man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not, leaving the ninety and nine on the mountains, go and seek the one that has gone astray?
Nkubhonanga bhuli? Mundu akolaga ngondolo makumi kumi, anng'obhaga jumo, shatende bhuli? Anakwiileka ngondolo makumi tisha na tisha ila pa shitumbi, nikwenda kunnoleya aobhile jula.
13 And if it should come to pass that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices more because of it than because of the ninety and nine not gone astray.
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, ampataga apinga kwinonyela kupunda makumi tisha na tisha yangaobha ila.
14 So it is not the will of your Father who is in [the] heavens that one of these little ones should perish.
Nneyo peyo, Ainabhenunji bha Kunnungu bhakaapinga aobhe nkali jumo jwa bhashokonjibha.
15 But if thy brother sin against thee, go, reprove him between thee and him alone. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
“Mpwenu annebhelaga, munjendele nkanneye nninginji mmabhilipe. Ampilikanaga mumpatile mpwenu.
16 But if he do not hear [thee], take with thee one or two besides, that every matter may stand upon the word of two witnesses or of three.
Akampilikane, nnjende naka mundu jumo eu bhabhili na mmayene, nkupinga kwa ukong'ondelo gwa bhandu bhabhili eu bhatatu, monaga lipali lilobhe limanyishe nimala.
17 But if he will not listen to them, tell it to the assembly; and if also he will not listen to the assembly, let him be to thee as one of the nations and a tax-gatherer.
Akaapilikanilanje bhanganyabho, mwaalugulilanje bhandu bha nnikanisha. Na monaga akaapilikanilanje, mumone malinga bhandu bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu eu bhakamula koli.
18 Verily I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on the earth shall be loosed in heaven.
“Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, shoshowe shishintabhanje pa shilambolyo, shishitabhwe kunnungu, na shoshowe shishinngopolanje pa shilambolyo shishigopolwe kunnungu.
19 Again I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever it may be that they shall ask, it shall come to them from my Father who is in [the] heavens.
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga kabhili, bhabhili bhenunji pa shilambolyo bhalaganangaga shoshowe sha juga, Atati bhali kunnungu shibhaatendelanje.
20 For where two or three are gathered together unto my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Pabha popowe pubhaimananga bhandu bhabhlili eu bhatatu kwa ligongo lyangu nne, nne mbali pamo na bhanganyabho.”
21 Then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? until seven times?
Kungai a Petili gubhaajendele a Yeshu, gubhaabhushiye, “Bhuli Mmakulungwa, mpwanga anebhele palingwa ninneshelele? Nkali pa shabha?”
22 Jesus says to him, I say not to thee until seven times, but until seventy times seven.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Ngaalugula mala shabhape, ikabhe nkali makumi shabha mala shabha.
23 For this cause the kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who would reckon with his bondmen.
Pabha Upalume gwa Kunnungu unalandana naka mpalume jumo atendile eshabhu ika ntumishi jwakwe.
24 And having begun to reckon, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
Eshabhu ikatandubheje, gubhapeleshelwe mundu jumo alongwaga ligambo mmbiya yaigwinji.
25 But he not having anything to pay, [his] lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and his children, and everything that he had, and that payment should be made.
Jwene mundujo akakweteje shindu sha lipa, bhakulungwa bhakwe gubhaamulishe aushwe jwenejo na akagwe na ashibhanagwe na indu yowe yaakwete, nkupinga lipila ligambo lila.
26 The bondman therefore falling down did him homage, saying, Lord, have patience with me and I will pay thee all.
Bhai, ntumishi jula gwabhatindibhalile, nigwashite, ‘Nnindile shininnipe ligambo lyenu lyowe.’
27 And the lord of that bondman, being moved with compassion, loosed him and forgave him the loan.
Bhakulungwa bhala gubhammonele shiya ntumishi jula, gubhanneshelele ligambo lila, gubhanneshile aijabhulile.
28 But that bondman having gone out, found one of his fellow-bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having seized him, he throttled him, saying, Pay [me] if thou owest anything.
“Ntumishi jula gwajabhwile, gwanng'imene ntumishi nnjakwe annongaga ligambo lya mmbiya makumi kumi. Gubhankamwile, nikunkida pa nngulo alinkuti, ‘Unipe inguulonga!’
29 His fellow-bondman therefore, having fallen down [at his feet], besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.
Ntumishi nnjakwe jula akuntindibhalilaga nikunshondelesheya, alinkuti ‘Nninde shininnipe yowe’.
30 But he would not, but went away and cast him into prison, until he should pay what was owing.
Ikabheje jwanngakunda, gwapite kuntabha kuligelesha mpaka pushalipe ligambo lyowe.
31 But his fellow-bondmen, having seen what had taken place, were greatly grieved, and went and recounted to their lord all that had taken place.
“Bhai, bhatumishi ajakwenji bhakaibhonanjeje itendeshe gubhainginikenje kwa kaje, nigubhapite kwatashiyanga bhakulungwa bhabhonji gakoposhele.
32 Then his lord, having called him to [him], says to him, Wicked bondman! I forgave thee all that debt because thou besoughtest me;
Bhakulungwa bhala gubhanshemile ntumishi jula, gubhammalanjlile, ‘Ugwe ujwanyata ntima! Gwashinkunyuga nikuleshelele, gunikuleshelele ligambo lyako lyowe.
33 shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow-bondman, as I also had compassion on thee?
Bhuli, ikapinjikweje ugwe kummonnela shiya ntumishi nnjako malinga shinikubhonele shiya nne?’
34 And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormentors till he paid all that was owing to him.
“Bhai, bhakulungwa bhala gubhatumbele kaje, nigubhampeleshe akapotekwe mpaka pushalipe ligambo lyowe.
35 Thus also my heavenly Father shall do to you if ye forgive not from your hearts every one his brother.
A Yeshu gubhashite, Atati bhali kunnungu shibhantendelanje nneyo peyo monaga mundu akanneshelele mpwakwe mpaka muntima.”
