Matthew 18
1 At that hour the disciples came near to Jesus, saying, “Who, now, is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?”
Lanyognu, ke bi ŋɔdkaaba nagni Jesu kani, ki buali o “ŋma n yabi ki cie U Tienu Diema nni?”
2 And Jesus having called near a child, set him in the midst of them,
Ke Jesu yini ki biñidga o kani, ki seni ga bi siiga, ki yedi, “N maadi yi i mɔni, I yaa lebdi ki tua nani biwaaga yeni, i kan baa ya sanu ke i ba kua U Tienu Diema nni
3 and said, “Truly I say to you, if you may not be turned and become as the children, you may not enter into the kingdom of the heavens;
4 whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.
Lanwani ii, yua n miini o yuli nani ki biwaaga ne, wani n yabi ki cie U Tienu Diema nni.
5 And he who may receive one such child in My Name, receives Me,
Yua n ga biwaaga nani kine yeni, n yeli po, o ga n ya cangu i.
6 and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in Me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged on his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.
Ama, yua n cedi ke biwaaga yua n dugi n po nani kine yeni, kua tuonbiadi nni, li bi baa tu o po, ke ban loli li naacianli o tulu nni, ki lu o wan mii mi ñincianma nni.
7 Woe to the world from the stumbling-blocks! For there is necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but woe to that man through whom the stumbling-block comes!
Mi yema ya paagi, janjanma ŋanduna po! kelima li buali ke li yogu n pundi, ama, sola li yogu ń ba tɔgni yua ya kani, ki pundi!
8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut them off and cast [them] from you; it is good for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the continuous fire. (aiōnios g166)
A nugu bii a taali ya kuandi a mi tudma nni, ŋan jia ki lu fagma. Li baa tu a po ŋan kua U Tienu diema nni yeni taayenli bii nuuendu ki cei yeni ban lu ŋa ya mu n ki pia gbindma buogu nni yeni taana lie bii nugi lie. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast from you; it is good for you to enter into life one-eyed, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
A nunbu n ya kuandi a mi tudma nni, ŋan kpigdi bu, ki lu fagma. Kelima li baa tu a po ŋan kua U Tienu Diema nni yeni nunfiagu ki cie ba lu ŋa ya mu n ki pia gbindma buogu nni yeni nuni lie kuli. (Geenna g1067)
10 Beware! You may not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their messengers in the heavens always behold the face of My Father who is in the heavens,
Fangi mani i yuli, ki da ŋa a bila ne siiga, bá biyenga nunga ń ŋmidi. Kelima n maadi yi i mɔni ke ŋajanli nni, bi malekinba nua N Báa yua nye U Tienu diema nni.
11 [[for the Son of Man came to save the lost.]]
ke lima, O Nilo Bijua cua ki bua faabi yaali n bodi i.
12 What do you think? If a man may have one hundred sheep, and there may go astray one of them, does he not—having left the ninety-nine, having gone on the mountains—seek that which is gone astray?
I maalma tie be i? Nilo ya pia yandi yiani, ke yanyenga bodi, o kan ŋa piiyia n yandi yia yaadi n sieni, ki lingi ki yanbodkaaga aa?
13 And if it may come to pass that he finds it, truly I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray;
O ya la ga, N maadi yi i mɔmɔni, o pali yi mangi li yanga po ki cie piiya n yandi yia yaadi n ki bodi.
14 so it is not [the] will in [the] presence of your Father who is in the heavens that one of these little ones may perish.
Li tie yeni i, I báa yua n ye ŋaljanli nni mo ki bua ke a bbila ne nni, bá biyenga ń bia.
15 And if your brother may sin against you, go and show him his fault between you and him alone, if he may hear you, you gained your brother;
A kpiilo ya biidi a, ŋan gedi ki waani o o biidi, fini yeni wani siiga, a ba maadi ki paadi a kpiilo i.
16 and if he may not hear, take with you yet one or two, that by the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may stand.
Ama, o ya ki cengi a, ŋan la yendo bii bilie ki pugni a po, ban taani a yeni, kasiedinba bilie bii bitaa siiga, mi maama ba ŋmagdi.
17 And if he may not hear them, say [it] to the assembly, and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to you as the heathen man and the tax collector.
O ya yie kaa cengi yi, ŋan gedi yeni li maama li nitaali nni. O ya yie kaa cengi li nitaanli, ŋan ŋa o wan tua a po nani o nilamo bii o lonpogaalo yeni.
18 Truly I say to you, whatever things you may bind on the earth will be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever things you may loose on the earth will be having been loosed in the heavens.
I mɔmɔni, N maadi yi, yin ba loli yaali tinga nni, li ba loli Tanpoli, yin ba lodi yaali ting nni, li ba lodi Tanpoli.
19 Again, I say to you that if two of you may agree on the earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask—it will be done to them from My Father who is in the heavens,
N go maadi yi ke i siiga nni, bilie ya taani jagli ki mia bonli ki tinga nni ne, N Báa yua n ye Tanpoli ba cedi li bonli ń tieni.
20 for where there are two or three gathered together—to My Name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Kelima, bilie bii bitaa ya taani naani n yeli po, n baa ye bi siiga.
21 Then Peter having come near to Him, said, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him—until seven times?”
Ke Piari nagni ki buali Jesu, “O Diedo, n kpiilo ya biidi nni, n ba mia sugli taalma ŋa i? Hali taalma lele ee?”
22 Jesus says to him, “I do not say to you until seven times, but until seventy times seven.
Ke Jesu jiini o, “N ki yedi taalma lele ka, ama hali piilele taalma lele.
23 Because of this was the kingdom of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who willed to take reckoning with his servants,
Lanwani ii, U Tienu Diema tie nani ya badciamo n den bua tieni li cɔli ki bandi o naacenba ń kubi o piama maama i.
24 and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents,
Wan cili mi diidma, o sua ke naacenyendo kua li panli nni hali ligdibala tuda piiga.
25 and he having nothing to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he had, and payment to be made.
Nani wan den ki pia wan ba tieni maama ki pa yeni, ke canbaa niini ke ban kuadi o wani yeni o pua yeni o bila yeni wai yaali kuli, ki pa o panli.
26 The servant then, having fallen down, was prostrating to him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all;
Ke li naaciemo baá ki gbaani o nintuali, ki mia o sugli, “Canbaa, N bani li panli po, ke N ba pa likuli”
27 and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion released him, and the debt he forgave him.
Nani li naaciemo canbaa ń bo tie niñinpadi daano yeni, ke o ga o sugli, ki cabi o li panli.
28 And that servant having come forth, found one of his fellow-servants who was owing him one hundred denarii, and having laid hold, he took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that which you owe.
Ama, li naacimo ń ñani ki la o naacenlielo ke o pia o pia o panli kuukobga. Ke o gedi ki cegi o tulu, ki yedi o, “Pa nni n ligi.
29 His fellow-servant then, having fallen down at his feet, was calling on him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you all;
Ke o naacenlielo baa ki gbaani, ki mia o sugli ki maadi, “Tieni n po juunli, n ba pa ŋa.”
30 and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, until he might pay that which was owing.
Ama, ke o naaciemo yie, ki cuo o naacenlielo ki gedi ki luoni o li kpaadidieli nni, ke o yaa pani o panli, o kan ña.
31 And his fellow-servants having seen the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, and having come, showed fully to their lord all the things that were done;
Bi naacenlieba ń la yaali n tieni, ke bi pali sia, ke bi kua ki togdi bi canbaa kaa dɔgni o bápu.
32 then having called him, his lord says to him, Evil servant! All that debt I forgave you, seeing you called on me;
Ke o naaciemo canbaa yini o, ki yedi o, “N cabi a ŋan pia nni ya panli kuli, kelima a mia nni sugli.
33 did it not seem necessary to you to have dealt kindly with your fellow servant, as I also dealt kindly with you?
Nani a naacenlielo ń mia ŋa sugli yeni, fini bi kan fidi ki cabi o oo?
34 And having been angry, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, until he might pay all that was owing to him;
O canbaa pali den beni o po, ke o cuo o, ki mubni o a jakɔnda nui nni ke bi waani o fala hali ke o pani o panli kuli.
35 so also My heavenly Father will do to you, if you may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.”
N Báa yua n ye Tanpoli mo ba tieni yi yeni, li ya tie ke i siiga nilo pali ki siadi o lielo po.
