Matthew 18
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Omwanya ogwo abheigisibhwa nibhaja ku Yesu nibhamuhwila ati, “Niga omukulu mubhukama bhwa mulwile?”
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
Mbe Yesu nabhilikila omwana omulela, namutula agati yebhwe,
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.
Naika ati, “Ni chimali enibhabhwila, mukabhula okuta na mkabha lwa abhana abhalela mtakutula okwingila mubhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Kulwejo unu kekeya lwo mwana omulela, omunu lwoyo nimukulu mubhukama bhwa mulwile.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Na wona wona unu kalamila omwana omulela kwisina lyani kandamilaanye.
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.
Nawe unu kendelela umwi mu bhatoto bhanu abhanyikilisha bhaleme okungwa, jakabhee jakisi omunu oyo bhamubhoye olubhui (olumengo) mubhicha bhyaye, na bhamutubhishe muda ya inyanja.
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!
Echalo jakubhona, kwa insonga ya akatungu ka amasakwa! Kulwokubha ni bhusi bhusi ago gona agaja mukatungu ako, nawe jilimubhona omunuyo alisangilisibhwa na amasakwa ago!
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)
Labha okubhoko kwao amo okugulu kwao okuletelesha amasakwa, mbe nukuteme ukurase Kula nawe. Nijakisi muno kwawe okwingila mubhuanga utali na kubhoko amo uli mulema, nawe utalaswa mumulilo gwa akajanende uli na amabhoko na amagulu gona. (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)
Mbe labha eliso lyao nilikwendelesha obhunyamuke, nulisoshemo ulilase kula nawe. Nijakisi muno kwawe okwingila mubhuanga uli na liso limwi, nawe utalaswa mumulilo gwa akajanende uli na meso gona. (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.
Mbe mwitegeleshe, Mwasiga kugaya oumwi wa abhatoto bhanu. Kulwokubha enibhabhwila kutya mulwire bhalimo bhamalaika abhenene nsiku jona bhasamaliye obhusu bhwa lata Unu Ali mwigulu.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
(Gwata kutya: Emisango jinu ejibhonekana okubha Jo olugobho lwa 11, “Kulwokubha Omwana wa Adamu ejile okuchungula chinu chaliga chibhulile,” Emisango ejo jitabhonekene mu Mandiko agakala).
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?
Omwiganilisha kutiki? Akasanga omunu ali na jinyabhalega egana limwi, na inyabhalega imwi nibhulako, atakusiga ejindi makumi mwenda na mwenda mwibanga nagenda okulonda eimwi eyo yabhulile?
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.
Mbe akefula naibhona, enibhabhwila echimali, kakondelelwa okuibhona kusiga ejindi jinu jitabhulile.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Kulwejo kutali kwenda kwe Esomwana owa mulwire okulola oumwi wa abhatoto nasingalika.
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.
Mbe labha omumula wanyu akakuyabhila, genda, ujomwelesha obhunyamuke bhunu bhulio agati yao no omwene ali enyele. Akakungwa numenya ati wamulondola.
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.
Nawe akabhula okungwa ejao, nugege omuili umwi amo yongesha bhabhili, kulwokubha kuminwa jabhamasaidi bhabhili amo bhasatu bhuli egambo elitula okwimelegulu.
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.
Na labha akagaya okubhategelesha, nubhwile likanisa ingulu yo omusango gwo, labha akagaya nalema okutegelesha likanisa, mbe kulwejo abhe lwo umunyamaanga naunu kasolosha ligoti.
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.
Nichimali enibhabhwila, chona chona echo mulibhoya munsi nolwo mulwire echibhowa. Na chona chona echo mulisulumula munsi nolwo mulwire ona echisulumulwa.
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.
Enongesha okubhabhwila kutya abhanu bhabhili agati yemwe bhakekilishanya ingulu yo omusango gwona gwona muchalo munu, linu abhasabhwa, Lata wani owa mulwire kalikonja.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Kulwokubha bhanu bhabhili amo bhasatu bhakekofyanya amwi mwisina lyani, Anye ndi agati gati yebhwe.
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Nasubha Petro naja namubhwila Yesu ati, “Lata Bugenyi, ejiya ngendo elinga omuili wani akanyabhila koleleki nimusasile? Kukingila ngendo musanju?”
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Nitakubhwila ngendo musanju, nawe kwiya makumi musanju wi indilemo ngendo musanju.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
Kulwa injuno eyo obhukama bhwa mulwire obhususana no Omukama umwi oyo aliga nenda okumenya obhukumi bhwa imali yaye okusoka ku bhagaya bhaye.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Ejile amba okubhala obhukumi bhwa imali, nibhamuletela omugaya Unu aliga natongwa jitalanta bhiumbi ekumi.
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.
Kulwokubha aliga atali na njila ya kuliya, lata bhugenyi waye nalamula bhamugushe omwene no omugasi waye na abhana na bhulichinu chinu aliga alinacho, koleleki aliye libhanja.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Kulwejo omugaya oyo nagwa, nateja ebhiju imbele yae, naika ati, “Nuwikomeshe amwi nanye, enija okukuliya bhuli chinu chinu outonga.”
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Kulwejo lata bhugenyi wo omugaya oyo, okwo aliga nasilwa ne echigongo, amusigile namusasila libhanja elyo.
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.
Nawe omugaya oyo agendele nabhugangana no umwi wa abhagaya bhejabho, oyo aliga natongwa egana limwi elya jidinari. Namukulula, namunyiga muchimilo, namubhwila ati, 'Nuundiye chinu enikutonga.'
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Nawe omugaya oyo aguye namwililila muno, namusabhwa ati, 'Nuunfwile echigongo, enija okukuliya.'
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
Nawe umugaya uliya owokwamba alemele. Atamusasiye, nagenda namulasa mulunyolo, kukingila ao amulipile chinu aliga namutonga.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Mbe abhagaya bhejabho bhejile bhalola omusango ogwo, nabhabhilikila muno. Nibhamala nibhaja (nibhagenda) okubhwila lata bhugenyi webhwe bhuli chinu chinu bhalolele.
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:
Mbe okwiya lata bhugenyi nabhilikila omugayagasi oyo, namubhwila ati, 'Omugaya omubhibhi awe, nakusasiye libhanja lyona linu nakutongaga kulwokubha weliliye muno.
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Mbe jitakakwiyile okumufwila chigongo omugaya wejanyu lwakutyo anye nakufwiliye chigongo?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Mbe lata bugenyi waye abhiiliywe namutula mumabhoko gabhanu abhanyasa abhanu kukingila ao akaliile libhanja lyona linu katongwa.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Mbe nikwo kutyo Lata wani owa mulwire alibhakolela, labha umwi wemwe atasasiye omuili waye okusokelela mumyoyo jemwe.
