Matthew 18
1 At that time the disciples approached Jesus saying, “Who then is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?”
Unsiki ghulaghula avavulanisivua vakisa kwa Yesu na kukum'bula,”Ghwe veeni juuno m'baha mhu vutwa uvwa kukyanya?”
2 So Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,
U Yesu akakemela umwana un'debe, akam'bika pakati na kati pa vanave,
3 and said: “Assuredly I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of the heavens.
na kuti,”kyang'haani nikuvavuula, mungabuhile kulata na kuuva heene vaana vadebe namunganoghele kukwingila mhu vutua vwa Nguluve.
4 Therefore whoever will humble himself like this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.
Pa uluo umuunhu ghweni juuno ikuviika heene mwaana n'debe, umunhu ndavule ujuo ghwe mbaha mhu vutua uvwa kukyanya.
5 “Whoever receives one little child like this in my name, receives me;
Kange umuunhu ghweni juuno ikumwupila umwaana u'debe mhu litavua lyango ikunyupila uune.
6 but whoever should cause one of these little ones who believe into me to fall, it would be better for him if a large millstone were hung on his neck and he were drowned in the depth 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 because of offenses! Now it is necessary that offenses come, but woe to that person by whom the offense comes!
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 is causing you to fall, cut them off and throw them away! It is better for you to enter into the life lame or maimed than to be thrown into the everlasting fire, having two hands or two feet. (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 is causing you to fall, tear it out and throw it away! It is better for you to enter into the life one eyed than to be thrown into the fiery Hell, having two eyes. (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 to it that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father, who is in the heavens.
Lolagha kuuti mulisa kusyojola juumo ughwa vadebe ava. Ulwakuva nikuvavuula kuuti kukyanya kulivanyamola vavanave ifighono fyoni vilola uvweni vwa Nhaata ghwango juuno alikukyanya.
11 For the Son of the Man came to save the lost.
(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 some man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains to go and search for the stray?
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 happens to find it, assuredly I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
Kange angamwaghe, kyang'haani nikuvavuula, ikunkela kuliko vaala kijigho kimo nhu tanda vanonavisova.
14 Likewise it is not a desire, in the view of your Father in heaven, that one of these little ones should be wasted.
Pa uluo navwevwighane vwa Nhaata ghwinu ughwa kukyanya kuuti juumo mhu vadebe ava valemale.
15 “Now if your brother sins against you, go, confront him between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have won your brother.
Heene unyalukolo ghwako angakukosele, luuta, ukansone ilidoa pakate palyuve nhu mwene pano iiva mwene jujuuo. Ndavule ikukupulikisia, ghuva ugomwisie unyalukolo ghwako.
16 But should he not hear, take along with you one or two more, so that every word may be established by the mouth 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 And should he refuse to hear them, tell it to the congregation. But should he refuse to hear even the congregation, let him be to you just like the heathen and the 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 “Assuredly I say to you, whatever (pl.) you (pl.) may bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you may loose on earth will have been loosed in heaven.
Kyang'haani nikuvavuula kyekyoni kiila kinomuliva mudinda mhu iisi na kukyanya kidindua. kange kyekyoni kinomudindula mhu iisi na kukyanya kidindulivua.
19 Assuredly again, I say to you that if two of you should agree on earth about any subject whatever that they may ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is 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 Because where there are two or three gathered together into my name, there I am in their midst!”
Ulwakuva vavili nambe vatatu vangakong'ane palikimo khu litavua lyango, une nili pakatenakate naveene.
21 Then Peter approached Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him; 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 says to him: “Not, I tell you, up to seven, but up to seventy-seven times!
U Yesu akam'bula,”Naniiti kufika lekela lubale, looli usaghilaghe fijigho lekela lubale.
23 “Therefore the kingdom of the heavens is like a certain 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 And as he began to settle up, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
kuvala fino ikuvasighila, um'bombi jumo alyale isighilua italanta imbilima kijigho.
25 But since he had nothing with which to repay, his lord commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and everything he had, so as to be repaid.
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 So then the servant fell down and did obeisance to him saying, ‘Lord, be patient with me and I will repay you all.’
Pe um'bombi jula akaghua, akafughama pavulongolo pa mwene, akati,'Mutwa, uve nhu lugudo palikimo nune, ifinu fyako fyoni nihomba.'
27 So the lord of that servant, having compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.
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; and grabbing him he started choking him saying, ‘Pay me back what you owe!’
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 at his feet and kept begging him saying, ‘Be patient 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 would not; instead he went and threw him into prison until he should pay back what was owed.
Neke um'bombi jula akakaana. pe, akaluta kukundindila ujaake mudinde, kuhanga pano ihomba ifinu fyoni fino isighilua.
31 But when his fellow servants saw what had happened they were really grieved, and they went and reported to their lord everything that had happened.
Avavombi avajaake ye vasivwene isio. Vakalemala kyongo. Vakaluta na kukum'bula untwa ghuvanave sooni sino sivombike.
32 Then summoning him the lord says to him: ‘Malignant servant! I forgave you all that 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 Were you also not obligated to have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’
Asi! nuveele unoghile kukunsungukila umbombi un'jaako, ndavule une niveele nikunsungukile une?
34 So in anger the lord handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed to him.
Untwa jula akakalala kyongo pe akalaghila atwalue mu ndinde kupumusivua kuhanga pano ihomba ifinu fyoni fino isighilua. Enendiiki na ju Nhaata
35 “My heavenly Father will handle you just like that, if each of you does not forgive his brother his trespasses, from the heart.”
ghwango ughwa kukyanya fye ilikuvahomba, na jumue nave namunkusaghila nhu mwoojo um'balafu unyalukolo.”
