Matthew 18
1 The same time the disciples came vnto Iesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen?
Kekala katema kala ŵakulijiganya ŵaichilile Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Ana nduni jwaali jwankulungwa mu Umwenye wa kwinani?”
2 And Iesus called a litle childe vnto him, and set him in the mids of them,
Che Yesu ŵambilasile mwanache, ŵanjimiche mmbujo mwao.
3 And sayd, Verely I say vnto you, except ye be conuerted, and become as litle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen.
Nipele ŵatite, “Isyene ngunsalila, iŵaga ngankugalauka ni kuŵa mpela ŵanache, nganjinjila kose mu umwenye wa kwinani.
4 Whosoeuer therefore shall humble himselfe as this litle childe, the same is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen.
Nipele jwalijose jwakulitimalika mpela aju mwanache ju, jwelejo ni jwali jwankulungwa mu umwenye wa kwinani.
5 And whosoeuer shall receiue one such litle childe in my name, receiueth me.
Jwalijose jwakumpochela mwanache jumo mpela aju mu liina lyangu, jwelejo akumbochela une.”
6 But whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones which beleeue in me, it were better for him, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
“Nambo jwalijose juchantende jumo jwa achanandi ŵa, ŵakungulupilila une atende sambi, ikaliji yambone kwa ŵelewo ataŵikwe pa lukosi liganga lyekulungwa lya kusyajila ni kumponya mu bahali pakwendesya nnope.
7 Wo be vnto the world because of offences: for it must needes be that offences shall come, but wo be to that man by whome the offence commeth.
Ulaje chiuŵe kwa ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo kwa ligongo lya kuichisya indu ya kwatenda ŵandu atende sambi. Indu yo ikusachilwa ikopochele nambo ulaje kukwakwe mundu juchaichenawo indu yo.
8 Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foote cause thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life, halt, or maimed, then hauing two hands, or two feete, to be cast into euerlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
“Iŵaga nkono wenu pane lukongolo lwenu lukuntenda ntende sambi, mmukate nkaujase kwakutalika. Mmbaya kukwenu kwinjila mu umi pangali nkono umo pane lukongolo lumo kupunda kuponyekwa pa mooto wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi wangasimika ndi ni makono gaŵili ni makongolo gaŵili. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, then hauing two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
Ni liso lyenu lyantendaga ntende sambi, nlikolopole ni kuliponya kwakutalika. Mmbaya kukwenu kwinjila mu umi wangamala ni liso limo, kupunda kuponyekwa pa mooto wangasimika moŵa gose pangali mbesi ndi ni meeso gaŵili. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that ye despise not one of these litle ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels alwayes behold the face of my Father which is in heauen.
“Nlilolechesye! Nkanchembulusya jumo jwa achanandi ŵa. Ngunsalila, achikatumetume ŵao kwinani ko moŵa gose akulola usyo wa Atati ŵaali kwinani.
11 For the Sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost.
Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu ŵaiche kukwakulupusya aŵala ŵaŵasochele.
12 How thinke ye? If a man haue an hundreth sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doeth he not leaue ninetie and nine, and go into the mountaines, and seeke that which is gone astray?
“Ana ŵanyamwe nkuti uli, Mundu akolaga ngondolo mia moja, ni jasochelaga ngondolo jimo, ngaasileka ngondolo tisini na tisa sila pasyaliji po ni kwaula kukujisosa jajisochele jila?
13 And if so be that he finde it, verely I say vnto you, he reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray:
Ajisimanaga, ngunsalila isyene, akusengwa ligongo lya jejila kusipunda tisini na tisa syangasochela sila.
14 So is it not ye wil of your Father which is in heauen, that one of these litle ones should perish.
Iyoyo Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani ngakusaka ata jumo jwa achanandi ŵa kuti asochele.
15 Moreouer, if thy brother trespasse against thee, goe and tell him his fault betweene thee and him alone: if he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother.
“Nlongo njenu anleŵelaga, munjaulile nkanlosye chileŵo chakwe nli ŵaŵili pe. Ampilikanilaga chimme mumpatile nlongo njenu.
16 But if he heare thee not, take yet with thee one or two, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses euery worde may be confirmed.
Nambo iŵaga ngakumpilikanila, munjigale mundu jumo pane ŵaŵili pakuti kwa kang'wa sya ŵaumboni ŵaŵili pane ŵatatu, kila liloŵe likaluche, mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala.
17 And if he refuse to heare them, tell it vnto the Church: and if he refuse to heare the Church also, let him be vnto thee as an heathen man, and a Publicane.
Akanaga kwapilikanichisya ŵanyawo, muusalile mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Ni akanaga kuupilikanila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, mummalanjile yalumo mundu jwangakwamanyilila Akunnungu ni jwakukumbikanya nsongo.
18 Verely I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye bind on earth, shall be bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer ye loose on earth, shalbe loosed in heauen.
“Ngunsalila isyene, gagali gose gachingakanye pachilambo chigaŵe gamakanikwe kwinani ni gagali gose gachingakunde pachilambo, chigaŵe gamakundikwe kwinani.
19 Againe, verely I say vnto you, that if two of you shall agree in earth vpon any thing, whatsoeuer they shall desire, it shall be giuen them of my Father which is in heauen.
“Ngunsalila isyene, ŵaŵili pasikati jenu ajilanaga pachilambo pano kwa chindu chachilichose chichaŵende, Atati ŵangu ŵa kwinani chiŵapanganyichisye chindu cho.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the mids of them.
Pakuŵa palipose pakusongangana ŵandu ŵaŵili pane ŵatatu pamo kwa liina lyangu, une ndili pelepo ni ŵanyawo.”
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, howe oft shall my brother sinne against me, and I shall forgiue him? vnto seuen times?
Nipele, che Petulo ŵaichile Che Yesu nikuti, “Ambuje, ana mpwanga aneŵele kalingwa none naalechelesye? Mala saba?”
22 Iesus said vnto him, I say not to thee, Vnto seuen times, but, Vnto seuentie times seuen times.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ngangunsalila mala saba pe, nambo saba mala sabini.
23 Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine King, which would take an account of his seruants.
Kwayele, Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mwenye jumo juŵasakaga kulola achikapolo ŵakwe yatite pakupanganya.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him, which ought him ten thousand talents.
Paŵatandite kulola, ŵannyichisye mundu jumo juŵaliji ni ligambo lya mamilioni kwa mamilioni.
25 And because he had nothing to pay, his Lord commanded him to be solde, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and the dette to be payed.
Mundu jo nganakola chakulipa, kwayele ambujegwe ŵalamwile asumisikwe nti kapolo mundu jula ni ŵankwakwe ni achiŵanagwe ni yanayose iŵakwete, kuti ligambo limale.
26 The seruant therefore fell downe, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, refraine thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all.
Nipele, kapolo jula ŵatindiŵele mmbujo pa ambujegwe ni kwaŵenda achitiji, ‘Ambuje mumbililile kaje, none chinanlipe yose.’
27 Then that seruants Lord had compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the dette.
Mmbujegwe kapolo jula ŵankolele chanasa, ŵannechelesye ligambo lila, ni kuntendela ajaule.
28 But when the seruant was departed, hee found one of his felow seruants, which ought him an hundred pence, and he layde hands on him, and thratled him, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
“Nambo kapolo jula ŵatyosile, ŵansimene jumo jwa achikapolo achinjakwe juŵandaiji mbiya kanandi. Ŵankamwile ni kunkamula pa lukosi achitiji, ‘Nlipe ligambo lyenu!’
29 Then his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Refraine thine anger towards me, and I will pay thee all.
Nombe kapolo njakwe jula ŵatindiŵele pa makongolo gakwe ŵanchondelele achitiji, ‘Mumbililile kaje, none chinanlipe yose’.
30 Yet he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the dette.
Nombejo ŵakanile, ŵajawile kukumponya mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa, mpaka patachilipa ligambo lila.
31 And when his other felowe seruants sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came, and declared vnto their Lord all that was done.
“Nipele, achikapolo achinjakwe paŵaiweni yeleyo ŵasongoneche nnope, ŵajawile kukwasalila ambuje ŵao yose iyatendekwe.
32 Then his Lord called him vnto him, and sayd to him, O euil seruant, I forgaue thee all that dette, because thou prayedst me.
Pele ambujegwe ŵammilasile ni kunsalila, ‘Ugwe jwakutumichila jwangalumbana nnope! Nannechelesye ligambo lila lyose pamwanjondelele.
33 Oughtest not thou also to haue had pitie on thy fellowe seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?
Ana nganinsachilwa kunkolela chanasa kapolo njenu jo mpela inatite pakunkolela chanasa mmwe?’
34 So his Lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentours, till he should pay all that was due to him.
“Nipele mmbujegwe jula ŵatumbile nnope, ŵampeleche katumetume jula kwa ŵakulagasya mpaka pele patachilipa ligambo lyose.
35 So likewise shall mine heauenly Father doe vnto you, except ye forgiue from your hearts, eche one to his brother their trespasses.
Ni atati ŵangu ŵa kwinani chachintendela iyoyo peyo iŵaga jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe ngannechelesya mpwakwe ni mtima wakwe wose.”
