< Matthew 18 >
1 At that hour the disciples came near to Jesus, saying, “Who, now, is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?”
Leleꞌ naa, Yesus ana mana tungga nara reu ratane mbali E rae, “Amaꞌ! Seka monaeꞌ lenaꞌ mia basa Lamatualain atahori nara?”
2 And Jesus having called near a child, set him in the midst of them,
Boe ma Yesus noꞌe nala anadꞌikiꞌ sa, de naririi e neu taladꞌa nara.
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;
Basa ma Ana olaꞌ nae, “Rena malolole! Atahori mana nau masoꞌ dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ atahorin, ana musi ubꞌa dudꞌuꞌan dei, fo dadꞌi onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ nda mana nahine soꞌu-soꞌuꞌ aon sa.
4 whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.
Huu atahori mana maloe-madꞌae ralaꞌ onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ ia, eni atahori monaeꞌ lenaꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ matan.
5 And he who may receive one such child in My Name, receives Me,
Boe ma atahori mana simbo atahori anak onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ ia, huu namahere neu Au, na, atahori naa simbo Au ena.”
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.
Basa ma Yesus nafadꞌe se fai nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori tao anadꞌikiꞌ esa tungga dala salaꞌ, losa ana nda namahere Au sa ena, na besa-bꞌesa, o! Malole lenaꞌ atahori paꞌa fatu monaeꞌ sa, neu boton, fo neꞌetetenaꞌ e tasi rala neu.
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!
Raefafoꞌ ia memaꞌ mamana deꞌulakaꞌ, huu hambu dalaꞌ hetar mana tao atahori tudꞌa salaꞌ rala reu. Te atahori mana hambu sosoeꞌ seli, naeni atahori mana tao atahori laen tudꞌa salaꞌ.
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 )
Mete ma tao salaꞌ mendiꞌ limam, do, eim, na, nggero hendi e! Huu malole lenaꞌ sorga muu mendiꞌ a limam seri, do, eim seri, afiꞌ losa ara nggari nggo misiꞌ ai naraka rala muu mo limam ma eim ruꞌa se. (aiōnios )
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 )
Mete ma, tao salaꞌ mendiꞌ matam, na edꞌo hendi e! Huu malole lenaꞌ masoꞌ sorga muu mo matam esaꞌ a, afiꞌ losa ara nggari nggo misiꞌ ai naraka muu mo matam ruꞌa se.” (Geenna )
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,
Yesus olaꞌ fai nae, “Besa-bꞌesa, o! Afiꞌ losa hei miloe-midꞌae anadꞌikiꞌ onaꞌ ia. Huu Lamatuaꞌ aten mana sia sorga ranea se. Ma ate naa ra sudꞌi a reu fain sa, fo rafadꞌe soꞌal atahori ia ra dala nara neu Lamatualain mana sia sorga.
11 [[for the Son of Man came to save the lost.]]
Ama duꞌa malolole, te Au ae fee nekendandaaꞌ taꞌo ia: hambu atahori sa bibꞌi lombon natun esa. Faiꞌ sa ma, hambu bibꞌi lombo sa lao leli, tunggaꞌ a dalan. Naa, ama duꞌa mae manatadꞌa a musi tao saa? Neꞌo Ana lao hela bibꞌi lombon ka 99 nara sia leteꞌ fo neu sangga bibꞌi lombo ka esaꞌ mana mopoꞌ naa. Mete ma ana hambu baliꞌ ena, na ana namahoꞌo mete bibꞌi lombo ka esaꞌ fo ana nita baliꞌ naa lena mia bibꞌi lombo ka 99 fo nda mana mopoꞌ ra sa. [Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, uma fo ae fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori mana lao leliꞌ mia dala ndo-tetuꞌ a.]
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?
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;
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.
Dadꞌi mae akaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ sa mopo o, Au Ama ngga sia sorga nda namahoꞌo sa.”
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;
Yesus olaꞌ fai nae, “Mete ma toronoom atahori mamahereꞌ ra tao salaꞌ neu nggo, na, musi muu mundaa mo e. Mete ma akaꞌ ruꞌa nggi, dei fo feꞌe mufadꞌe salan. Mete ma ana rena oꞌolam, na, hei ruꞌa nggi malole baliꞌ ena.
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.
Te mete ma ana nda nau rena nggo sa, na, muu moꞌe mala nonoom atahori esa do rua fo mimiloloꞌ mii. Mii mindaa mo atahori naa, fo olaꞌ mo e fai. Huu sia Lamatuaꞌ susura Meumaren nenesuraꞌ oi, ‘Sia dedꞌeat esa, musi hambu sakasii rua do telu mana olaꞌ ona esaꞌ, dei fo feꞌe na simbo dedꞌea-oꞌola nara.’
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.
Te mete ma ana nda feꞌe nau rena oꞌola mara sa, na, mii mifadꞌe jamaꞌat. Mete ma ana o nda feꞌe nau simbo no maloleꞌ jamaꞌat ra oꞌolan, sa, na, duꞌa mae ana onaꞌ atahori nda feꞌe nahine Lamatuaꞌ sa. Mete ma hokoꞌ, duꞌa mae deꞌulakan onaꞌ mana edꞌa bꞌea ra.
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.
Misinedꞌa malolole Au oꞌola ngga ia, e! Saa fo hei ena-ai sia raefafoꞌ ia, naa Lamatuaꞌ ena-ai sia sorga ena. Ma saa fo hei fee isin sia raefafoꞌ ia, naa Lamatuaꞌ fee isin sia sorga ena boe.
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,
Ma Au ufadꞌe seluꞌ ae, mete ma hambu atahori rua sia hei hule-oꞌe no ralaꞌ esa, dei fo Au Ama ngga sia sorga fee se saa fo ara roꞌeꞌ a.
20 for where there are two or three gathered together—to My Name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Mete ma hambu atahori rua do telu raꞌabꞌue fo hule-oꞌe reu esa, huu sira, Au atahori nggara, na, Au o sia taladꞌa nara boe.”
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?”
Basa naa ma, Petrus nema natane Yesus nae, “Papa, au ae utane mbei. Mete ma toronoo ngga atahori mamahereꞌ tao salaꞌ nasafafali mbali au, na, au musi fee ambon neu e lao hira? Lao hitu, do?”
22 Jesus says to him, “I do not say to you until seven times, but until seventy times seven.
Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ! Musi fee ambon neu e losa hitu lao hitu nulu, losa nda bisa ito reken mala sa ena.
23 Because of this was the kingdom of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who willed to take reckoning with his servants,
Ama musi tao tungga taꞌo naa, huu Lamatualain onaꞌ maneꞌ esa mana ito-reken pagau nara huta-buku nara.
24 and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents,
Leleꞌ Ana ito-reken ma, ana denu atahorin esa neu noꞌe pagawen esa mana nahuta doiꞌ mbali e, losa juta-juta.
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.
Te pagawe a nda bae nala huta-bukun sa. Dadꞌi maneꞌ a parenda nae, ‘Mii seo atahori ia no basa sao ana nara, fo ara dadꞌi ate. Boe ma seo mibasaꞌ hata-heto nara, fo bae neu huta-buku nara.’
26 The servant then, having fallen down, was prostrating to him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all;
Rena taꞌo naa, ma pagawe naa naloe aon de sendeꞌ lululanggan neu maneꞌ a matan, de kokoe e nae, ‘Aduu! Amaꞌ, e! Ama maneꞌ tulun fee fai mbei neu au dei do! Dei fo au fee baliꞌ basa huta nggara.’
27 and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion released him, and the debt he forgave him.
Maneꞌ a rena nala onaꞌ naa ma, ana kasian e. Boe ma ana nggaris memaꞌ hendi basa pagau naa huta nara. Boe ma ana mboꞌi hendi pagawe naa.
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.
Te leleꞌ pagawe naa dea neu, ma nandaa no nonoon esa nahuta e doiꞌ mbei. Boe ma ana toꞌu nala nonoon, de mese nggara boten ma bua e nae, ‘Weh! Faiꞌ ia bae huta ma leo!’
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;
Nonoon rena nala onaꞌ naa ma, ana naloe aon fo sendeꞌ lululanggan de kokoe e nae, ‘Aduu! toronooꞌ, e! Tulun fee fai mbei nema au dei! Dei fo au bae huta ngga.’
30 and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, until he might pay that which was owing.
Te pagawe naa nae, ‘Nda bisa sa! Akaꞌ faiꞌ ia musi bae!’ Basa ma ana nendi nonoon bui rala neu, losa ana bae nabasaꞌ hutan.
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;
Leleꞌ maneꞌ a pagawe laen nara rita saa fo manadadꞌiꞌ naa, ma rala nara susa. De basa ma reu rafadꞌe neu maneꞌ a.
32 then having called him, his lord says to him, Evil servant! All that debt I forgave you, seeing you called on me;
Maneꞌ a rena nala onaꞌ naa ma, ana noꞌe pagawe naa, de olaꞌ nae, ‘Hee, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ! Huu moꞌe Au kasian nggo, naa de au nggaris hendi basa huta-buku mara.
33 did it not seem necessary to you to have dealt kindly with your fellow servant, as I also dealt kindly with you?
Te taꞌo bee de nda muꞌena kasian neu nonoom sa, onaꞌ au kasian neu nggo ena to?’
34 And having been angry, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, until he might pay all that was owing to him;
Maneꞌ a namue, losa ana denu atahori tao e bꞌui rala neu, fo ara poko-paru e, losa ana bae nabasaꞌ huta-buku nara.”
35 so also My heavenly Father will do to you, if you may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.”
Boe ma Yesus nateꞌe dudꞌuit na, ma nafadꞌe nae, “Naa, Au Ama ngga sia sorga boe o ito-reken onaꞌ naa boe. Dei fo Ana hukun nggi, mete ma ama nda liliiꞌ tebꞌe-tebꞌe hendiꞌ hei toronoo atahori mamahere mara sala-kilu nara sa.”
