< Matthew 18 >

1 AT the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
E kindeno jopuonjre nobiro ir Yesu mopenje niya, “En ngʼa maduongʼ moloyo e pinyruodh polo?”
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
To noluongo nyathi moro matin mi okete ochungʼ e diergi.
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Eka nowacho niya, “Awachonu adier ni ka ok ulokoru ma uchalo gi nyithindo matindo, to ok ubi donjo e pinyruodh polo ngangʼ.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Emomiyo ngʼato angʼata mobolore kaka nyathini e ngʼat maduongʼ moloyo e pinyruodh polo.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Kendo ngʼato angʼata morwako nyathi machal kama e nyinga to an ema orwaka.
6 But whoso 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.
“To ka ngʼato omiyo achiel kuom jomatindo moyie kuomagi odonjo e richo to dibed maber ka otwene pongʼ marangʼongo e ngʼute bangʼe onyumego e chuny nam.
7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
“Piny none malit nikech gik mamiyo ji donjo e richo! Ochuno ni gik makamagi nyaka bedie, to okwongʼ ngʼatno makelo gigo!
8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
Ka lweti kata tiendi miyo idonjo e richo to ngʼade oko kendo iwite mabor. Ber moloyo kidonjo e ngima ka ionge lweti kata kingʼol moloyo bedo gi lwetegi ariyo kata tiendeni ariyo to owiti e mach manyaka chiengʼ. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
Kamano bende ka wangʼi miyo itimo richo to lodhe oko kendo iwite mabor. Ber moloyo kidonjo e ngima gi wangʼ achiel kar bedo gi wenge ariyo to owiti e mach mar Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
“Neuru ni ok uchayo achiel kuom jomatindogi. Nimar anyisou ni malaikegi manie polo osiko ka ngʼiyo wangʼ Wuora manie polo. [
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Nikech Wuod Dhano osebiro mondo owar joma olal.]
12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
“Uparo nade? Ka ngʼato nigi rombe mia achiel, to achiel kuomgi olal, donge ngʼatno diwe piero ochiko gochikogo mi odhi omany achiel molalno?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
To awachonu adier ni ka oyude to obedo mamor kuom rombo achielno, moloyo kuom piero ochiko gochiko mane ok olal.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Machalre gi mano, wuonu manie polo ok dwar ni kata achiel kuom jomatindogi olal.
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
“Ka owadu ochwanyi to dhi kendo inyise kethone, mana e kindu kode ji ariyo. Ka ochikoni ite mowinjo to mano iseloso kindi gi owaduno.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
To ka otamore winji to kaw ngʼato achiel kata ji ariyo idhi iwuogo kode, mondo, wach moro mantie e kind ji nyaka ngʼere malongʼo ka nitiere joneno ariyo kata adek.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
Kodagi winjogi, to nyis kanisa wachno; to kodagi winjo nyaka kanisa, to kawe kaka dikaw ngʼat ma japiny kata jasol osuru.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
“Awachonu adier ni gimoro amora mutweyo e piny-ka notwe e polo bende, kendo gimoro amora mugonyo e piny-ka nogony e polo bende.
19 Again I say unto 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.
“Awachonu bende ni ka ji ariyo kuomu e piny-ka owinjore kuom gimoro amora mukwayo to Wuora manie polo notimnugo.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Nimar kama ji ariyo kata adek ochokoree e nyinga to an kodgi kanyo.”
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Eka Petro nobiro ir Yesu mopenje niya, “Ruoth, owinjore awe ne owadwa ndalo adi kokethona? Nyaka ndalo abiriyo koso?”
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Awachoni ni ok nyadibiriyo to nyadi piero abiriyo nyadibiriyo.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
“Mano emomiyo pinyruodh polo chal gi ruoth mane dwaro nono kaka jotichne osetiyo gi pesane.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Kane ochako timo nonrono, ngʼat moro mane nigi gope moromo silingʼ tara gi tara ne okel e nyime.
25 But forasmuch 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.
To kaka ne ok onyal chulo gopeno, ruodhe nogolo chik mondo en kaachiel gi chiege gi nyithinde, kod gik moko duto mane en-go ousi mondo ochul gowino.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
“To jatijno nogoyo chonge piny e nyime, moywagorene ni, ‘Yie ihorina mos, abiro chuli gopino duto.’
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Ruodh jatijno nokeche mi owene gopeno kendo ogonye odhi.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
“To bangʼ ka jatijno nosedhi, noyudo achiel kuom jotich wetene mane nigi gope moromo dinari mia achiel. Nomake matek mochako deye, kowachone ni, ‘Chula gopa ma in-go sani!’
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
“Jatich wadgino nogoyo chonge piny e nyime moywagorene ni, ‘Yie itimna ngʼwono, abiro chuli gopi.’
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
“To nodagi. Kar timo kamano to noa kanyo mi oloso wach mondo orwak ngʼatno e od twech nyaka chop ochul gowino.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Kane jotich mamoko oneno gima notimoreno, chunygi nodoko malit ahinya kendo negidhi mi ginyiso ruodhgi gik moko duto mane osetimore.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
“Eka ruodhno noluongo jatichneno ire, mowachone ni, ‘An ne aweni gopa mane in-go duto nikech ne iywagorina mondo atim kamano.
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Angʼo momiyo in to ne itamori kecho jatich wadu kaka an bende ne akonyi?’
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Ruodhe ne mirima omako kode mi nochiwe e lwet jo-jela mondo orodhe maonge kech, nyaka chop ochul gowi duto mane en-go.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
“Kamano e kaka Wuora manie polo biro timo ne ngʼato ka ngʼato ka ok oweyo ne nyawadgi gie chunye.”
