Matthew 18
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Te vaeng tue ah hnukbangrhoek loh Jesuh tea paanuh tih, “Vaan ram ah ulae tanglue la aka om,” a ti na uh.
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
Te dongah camoe pakhat te a khuetih amih lakli aha pai sak.
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.
Te phoeiah, “Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, camoe rhoek bangla na mael uh tih na om uh pawt atah vaan ram khuila na kun uh tlaih mahpawh.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Te dongah hekah camoe bangla amah tlarhoel hlang te tah vaan ram ah tanglue la om.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Te phoeiah kai kah ming neh hebang camoe pakhat aka doe te tah kai ni n'doe.
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.
U long khaw kai aka tangnah camoe rhoek he pakhat khaw a khah atah, a rhawn ah laak phaklung a hoei tih tuili dung ah a buek te anih ham rhoei ngai.
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!
Anunae thangkui kongah Diklai aih he. Thangkui te a om ham a kueknah om. Tedae anunae anih lamloh thangkui aka tung hlang aih te.
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)
Te phoeiah na kut neh na kho loh nang n'khah atah te te tloek lamtah namah lamloh voei. Kut panit kho panit om tih dungyan hmai khuila m'voeih lakah a ngun a khaem la hingnah khuiah kun te nang ham hnothen la om. (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)
Te phoeiah na mik loh nang n'khah atah te te koeih lamtah namah lamloh voei. Mik vang neh hingnah khuila kun te nang ham hnothen la om. Mik panit om tih hell hmai khuila voeih lakah tah. (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.
He camoe rhoek khuikah pakhat khaw na hnaep uh pawt ham ngaithuen uh. Nangmih ham kan thui, vaan ah amih kah puencawn rhoek loh vaan kah a pa maelhmai te a hmuh uh taitu lah ko.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Hlang capa tah aka hma rhoek khang ham ni ha pawk.
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?
Nangmih tah metlam na poek? Hlang pakhat te tu yakhat om coeng dae te khuikah pakhat loh poengdoe koinih sawmko pako te tlang ah a hlah vetih aka poeng te toem hamla cet mahpawt nim?
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.
Te vaengah a hmuh hamla om coeng koinih ta, nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, aka poeng mueh sawmko pako lakah aka hma soah omngaih ngai.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Te dongah vaan kah na Pa hmaiah tah camoe rhoek pakhat khaw poci ham te a ngaih moenih.
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.
“Na manuca loh nang taengah a tholh atah cet lamtah namah neh anih laklo bueng ah mah anih te toeltham. Nang ol a yaak atah na manuca te na na coeng.
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.
Tedae a hnatun pawt atah pakhat khaw panit khaw namah taengah khuen. Te daengah ni laipai rhoek panit pathum kah a ka loh olka te boeih a pai puei eh.
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.
Tedae amih loh a altha atah hlangboel taengah thui. Te vaengah Hlangboel kah ol pataeng a altha atah nangmih taengah namtom neh mangmucoi bangla om sak.
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.
Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, diklai hmanah na pin uh te tah vaan ah a pin ni. Tedae diklai ah na hlam uh te tah vaan ah a hlam ni.
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.
Te phoeiah nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, panit loh na kotluep tih diklai hmanah hno boeih te bih uh koinih, amih ham te vaan kah a pa loh a saii pah ni.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Panit pathum aka om te khaw kai ming neh a hum uh atah amih lakli ah pahoi ka om coeng,” a ti nah.
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Te vaengah amahte Peter loha paan tih, “Boeipa, ka manuca loh kai soaha tholh vaengah ka hlah vawptawp a ya?, voei rhih due a?” a ti nah.
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Jesuh loh, “Nang taengah voei rhih due pawt tih, sawmrhih parhih due ni ka ti.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
Te dongah vaan ram tah a sal rhoek taengah bitat soepsoei ham aka ngaih hlang manghai neh vai uh.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Soepsoei ham a tong vaengah talen thawngrha dongkah laikung pakhat te a taengla a khuen.
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.
Tedae anih loh thuung ham khaw kawn khueh pawh. Te dongah anih te a boeipa loh a yuu neh a ca rhoek, a khueh boeih te a yoih tih thuung ham ol a paek.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Te dongah sal te bakop tih manghai te a bawk. Te phoeiah, “Kai soah na thinsen sak mai lamtah nang te boeih kan thuung bitni,” a ti nah.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Te dongah boei loh a thinphat tih tekah sal te a loeih sak. Te phoeiah a laiba khaw a hlah pah.
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.
Tedae tekah sal tah cet tih a sal puei pakhat a hmuh. Te long te anih taengah denarii yakhat a ba. Te vaengah anih te a tuuk tih a khak phoeiah, “Pakhat na ba akhaw n'thuung laeh,” a ti nah.
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Te dongah a sal puei loh a yalh doela a hloep, “Kai soah na thinsen mai dae, nang te kan thuung bitni,” a ti nah.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
Tedae ngaih pawt tih laiba te a thuung duela thongim khuiah a hlak tih a caeh tak.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Aka om hno te a sal puei rhoek loh a hmuh dongah mat a khothae uh. Te dongah a boei taengla a pawk uh vaengah aka om hno te boeih a thui uh.
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:
Te vaengah a boei loh anih te a khue tih, 'Sal thae aw, kai nan hloep dongah na docanah boeih te kan hlah,
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
kai loh nang kang rhen bangla na sal puei te na rhen ham a kuek van moenih a? 'a ti nah.
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
A boeipa loh kosi a hong tih anih te laiba boeih a thuung hlan atah phaepkung rhoek taengah a thak.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Te dongah khat rhip loh a manuca te na thinko neh na hlah uh pawt koinih vaan kah a pa loh namamih taengah te tlam ni a saii van eh,” a ti nah.
