Matthew 18
1 At the same time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Acuna k'um üng, axüisaw he a veia law u lü Jesuh üng, “U ja Khankhaw Pea a kyäp säih kawm?” ti lü ami kthäh.
2 And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the middle of them,
Acunüng Jesuh naw hnasenca mat khü lü, ami maa a ngdüihsak.
3 And said, Truly I say to you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, nghlat be u lü hnasena mäiha am nami ve üng Khankhaw Pe am pha hlawt uki.”
4 Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Acunakyase, Khankhaw Pea a kyäp säih vai cun hina hnasenca mäiha a mlung mnemki ni a kyäp säih kawm.
5 And whoever shall receive one such little child in my name receives me.
“Aupi, ka ngming üng je lü hina hnasenca mäih dokhamki cun kei na dokhamki ni.
6 But whoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
“Cunsepi, kei na jumkia hina hnasen mat, mkhyekat khaia kyukngtängsakia khyang cun a nghngü üng ksum khawp lü lia thuknak tuia xawtin hin a phäha daw bawk khai ni,” a ti.
7 Woe to the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!
Jesuh naw, “Khyang he jah mkhyekatsaki khawmdeka da se khawmdeknu hin ihlawka kyühei phyaki ni! Acuna mkhyekatnaka ngkhawe cun aläa thawn khai. Cunüngpi, mkhyekatnak vaia pawhkia khyanga phäh ihlawka kyühei phya khai ni.
8 Why if your hand or your foot offend you, cut them off, and cast them from you: it is better for you to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
Na kut am a ni üng na khaw naw a ning mkhyekatsak üng, kyükin lü xawtin kawpi. Na kut khaw küm se angsäia mulaia ning xawtina kdama ta, na kut khaw kaa angsäi xünnaka na ceh hin daw bawki ni. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if your eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: it is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
Acunkäna na mik naw a ning mkhyekatsak üng, kawihin lü xawtin kawpi. Na mik küm se mulaia ning xawtina kdama ta, na mik mat däng am angdäi xünnaka na ceh hin kyäp bawki ni. (Geenna g1067)
10 Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
“Ahina hnasenca he käh jah hmuhmsit ua. Ami khankhawngsä he cun ka pa vei khankhawa awmki he ni, ti ka ning jah mthehki.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Isetiüng ta, khyanga Capa hin khyükie jah thawngkhyah khaia lawki ni.
12 How think you? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and goes into the mountains, and seeks that which is gone astray?
“Ihawkba ni nami ngaih? Khyang mat naw toca aphya a tak üngka mat khyük se i pawh khai ni? A taw kawkip ja kaw jah hawih hüt lü khyükia taw mat sui khaia mcunga cit khai.
13 And if so be that he find it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
Acun a hmuh be üng, veki kawkip ja kawa kthaka pi acuna khyüki mat a hmuh bea phäha aktäa jeki.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Acukba kunga, hina hnasenca he üngka matca pi amdanga a khyüh vaia nami pa khana ka naw am hlüei.
15 Moreover if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he shall hear you, you have gained your brother.
Na bena naw a ning mkhyekatnak üng, a veia cet lü a mkhyekatnak nanimäta ksinga a mkhyenak na mtheh vai, na mtheh a ngjak üng na mkhüta kyaki.
16 But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Acunüngpi na mtheh am a ngjak üng, a mkhyekatnak angsingnak ksing khaia khyang nghngih mat bang jah cehpüi lü na ceh vai. Cangcim naw “Mkhyekatnak naküt üng saksiki nghngih kthum ve yah khai” a tia kba na pawh vai.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be to you as an heathen man and a publican.
Acunüng, acun hea pyen pi am a jah ngaih üng, avana sangcim üng nami sang vai. Akpäihnaka sangcima pyen pi am a ngaihsim üng khyang k'yu ja akhawnkawka nami ngaih vai.
18 Truly I say to you, Whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, khawmdek khana nami mhlät naküt cun khankhawa pi mhläta kya khai, khawmdek khana am nami mhlät naküt cun khankhawa pi mhläta am kya.
19 Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Ka ning jah mtheh betüki, khawmdek khana aipi nghngih naw atänga ngaisim ni lü nani täsam üng, nani täsam naküt cun ka Pa khankhawa ka naw ning jah pawh pet khai.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the middle of them.
“Ahawia pi, nghngih kthum ka ngming üng ngcun u lü ami ve üng ami ksunga kei ka veki,” a ti.
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Acunüng, Pita Jesuha veia law lü, “Bawipa aw, ka bena naw a na mkhyekatnak üng ivei ka mhlät vai ni? Khyüh vei aw?” ti se,
22 Jesus says to him, I say not to you, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Jesuh naw, “Khyüh vei am ni, khyühkip ja khyüh vei na mhlät vai,” a ti.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
Acunakyase, Khankhaw Pe cun Sangpuxang mat a mpyaea pupawng ngui jah bükteng lawki üng tängki ni.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Acukba a jah teng law üng ngui tan xa k’hläih lei naki mat cun a veia ami lawpüi.
25 But for as much as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Ngui a pu am thung be hlawt se Sangpuxang naw man lü amät mpyaa jawi lü, a khyuca he ja a khawhkhyam naküt pi jah jawisih lü, a lei ami thung vaia a jah mtheh.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
Acuna mpya cun Sangpuxanga maa a mkhuk am ngdäng lü, “Ka Bawipa aw, na bä ni, na msawkei canga,” avan ka ning thung law be khai ni,” a ti.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Sangpuxang naw mpyenei lü hläh be lü a lei naküt avan pi a mhlät.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that you owe.
Acunüng, acuna mpya cun cit lü a püi mpyae üngka mat, ngui api a kpu a va hmuh. Man lü “Na pu na thung law bea” ti lü a k'aw üng a kbüh.
29 And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and sought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
A püi mpya naw a mkhuk am ngdäng lü, “Na mpyenei lü, na msawk canga, ka ning thung law be päih khai ni,” ti lü, a nghuinak.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
Cunsepi, käh mpyenei lü am a thung be khawh vei thawng im üng a khyum.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
Acun cun mpya kce he naw ami hmuh üng aktäa ami mlung na se, Sangpuxang üng acuna mawng cun ami va mtheh u.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said to him, O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me:
Acunüng ami Sangpuxang naw khü lü, “Ia am na mawngki nang khyang kse, na nghui naki se na lei naküt ka ning mhlät.
33 Should not you also have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?
Ka ning mhläta mäiha mpyeneinak na püi mpyaa khana pi na tak vai sü.”
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due to him.
Sangpuxang thüi lawki naw a mpya cun a lei naküt am a thung be khawh veia thawngim üng a khyum.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also to you, if you from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Acukba bäa, khyang naküt naw nami mlungmthin kcang am nami benaa mkhyekatnak am nami mhlät üng khankhawa kaa Ka Pa naw pi nami mkhyekatnak am ning jah mhlät khai ni,” a ti.
