Matthew 18
1 In that hour the talmidim came to Yeshua, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
He wode Yesuusa tamaareti yidi, “Salo kawotethan ubbaafe aadhdhey oonee?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
2 He called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,
Yesuusi issi guutha na7a xeegidi entta giddon essidi hayssada yaagis.
3 and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven.
“Taani hinttew tuma odays; hintte laamettonanne guutha naytada hanonna ixxiko salo kawotethaa ubbarakka gelanaw dandda7ekketa.
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Hiza, ha guutha na7aada bana kawushshiya oonikka salo kawotethan ubbaafe aadhdheyssa gidana.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
Hayssa mela na7a ta sunthan mokkiya oonikka tana mokkees.
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.
“Shin tanan ammaniyaa ha guuthatappe issuwa naagara oothana mela dhube gidiya oonikka gita gaachcha woxa ba qodhen qachchidi ciimmo abban mitettiko iyaw lo77o.
7 "Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks. For there will always be something to cause people to stumble, but woe to the person through whom the stumbling block comes.
Alamen asay nagara oothana mela oothiyabati de7iya gisho alamiya ayye. Hessa melabati yoonna attenna, shin dhubey iya gaason yaa uraa ayye.
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
“Ne kushey woykko ne tohoy nena balethikko neeppe qanxa yegga. Neeni nam77u kushera woykko nam77u tohora merinaa taman yeggettanayssafe kushe woykko toho duuxa gidada merinaa de7o demmeyssi new lo77o. (aiōnios g166)
9 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of Gehinnom. (Geenna g1067)
Qassi ne ayfey nena balethikko iyo wooca kessada wora hola. Neeni nam77u ayfera gaanname taman yeggetteyssafe issi ayfera merinaa de7uwa geleyssi new lo77o. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
“Ta hinttew odays; salon de7iya entta naagiya kiitanchchoti ubba wode salon de7iya ta Aawa sinthan de7iya gisho, hintte ha guuthatappe issuwaka kadhonna mela naagettite.
Asa Na7ay dhaydayssata ashshanaw yis” yaagis.
12 "What do you think? If someone has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
Qassi Yesuusi, “Hinttew ay daanii? Issi uraas xeetu dorssati de7eyssatappe issoy dhayikko uddufun tammanne uddufunata deriya bolla yeggi aggidi he dhayidayssa koyanaw beenne?
13 If he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
Ta tuma odays; I demmida wode uddufun tammanne uddufunatappe aathidi dhayidi benttida issi dorssan ufayttees.
14 Even so it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Hessadakka, salon de7iya hintte aaway ha guuthatappe issoy dhayana mela koyenna.
15 "If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
“Ne ishay nena qohikko nerkka iyaakko bada iya balaa iyaw oda. I nena si7ikko ne ishaa new isha ootha.
16 But if he does not listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Shin I nena si7onna ixxiko, nam77u woykko heedzu asa markkan mootoy lasettiya gisho, issi woykko nam77u asi ekkada iyaakko ba.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the congregation. If he refuses to hear the congregation also, let him be to you as an unbeliever or a tax collector.
I enttana si7onna ixxiko, woosa keethas oda. Woosa keethi giyabaa si7onna ixxiko ammanonna asada woykko qaraxa qanxisiya asada iya payda.
18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
“Ta hinttew tuma odays; sa7an hintte diggiyabati ubbay salon Xoossaa matan digettidaba gidana. Sa7an hintte hano giyabati ubbay salon Xoossaa matan hanidabaa gidana.
19 Again, truly I tell you, that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
“Qassika ta hinttew odays; sa7an hinttefe nam77ay bantta woossiyabas issi wozanan gididi Xoossaa woossiyabaa gidikko salon de7iya ta Aaway hinttew oothana.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
Tana kaalleyssatappe nam77a woykko heedza gididi shiiqiya bessan taani entta giddon benttana” yaagis.
21 Then Peter came to him and said, "Lord, how often can my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"
He wode Phexiroosi Yesuusakko yidi, “Godaw, ta ishay tana qohikko aappun toho taani atto gaanaw bessii? Laappun toho gakkanaaseyye?” gidi oychchis.
22 Yeshua said to him, "I do not tell you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Yesuusi zaaridi, “Gidenna, laappun tammu toho laappunappe attin laappun toho gidenna.
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
“Hessa gisho, Xoossaa kawotethay ba oosanchchotara ba miishey paccidaakkonne palahidaakko be7anaw qoppida kawuwa daanees.
24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
He kawoy miishey paccidaakkonne palahidaakko be7iya wode daro ginddigindda acoy de7iya issi uraa iyaakko ehidosona.
25 But because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Shin he aylley acuwa qanxanaw xoonettin iyara, iya machcheera, iya naytinne iyaw de7iyabay ubbay bayzettidi acoy cigettana mela iya goday kiittis.
26 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
Yaatin aylley ba godaa tohuwa bolla gulbbatidi, ‘Ta godaw, hayyana guutha wode takkarkki, ta acuwa ubbaa ta ciggana’ yaagidi woossis.
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
Kawoy iyaw qadhettidi, yeddi aggis; iya acuwa maaris.
28 "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay what you owe.'
“Shin he aylley keyi bidi ba lagge oosanchchotappe issoy baappe daro guutha miishe tal77idayssa, ‘Ne bolla de7iya ta miishiya taw cigga’ gidi qoodhe oykkis.
29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
“He iya lagge aylliya iya sinthan gulbbatidi, ‘Hayyana guutha wode takkarkki taani ta acuwa ubbaa ciggana’ yaagidi woossis.
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
“Shin ixxidi ekki efidi ba laggey acuwa qanxana gakkanaw qasho keethi gelssis.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
Hessa gisho, hara lagge oosanchchoti hessa be7ida wode daro yilotidi, bidi bantta godaas I oothidabaa ubbaa odidosona.
32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant. I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
“Yaatin kawoy he aylliya xeegisidi, ‘Ha iita aylliyaw, neeni tana woossida gisho, ta ne acuwa ubbaa new maaras.
33 Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
Yaatin, taani ne acuwa maaridayssada neeni ne lagge aylliya acuwa maaranaw new bessennee?’ yaagis.
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due.
Hessa gisho, kawoy daro yilotidi, I ba acuwa ubbaa ciggana gakkanaw paxa kaa7ettana mela qasho keethan yeggis.
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother his trespasses from your heart."
“Hessadakka, hintte issoy issoy hintte ishaa wozanappe maaronna ixxiko salon de7iya ta Aaway hinttena hessada oothana” yaagis.
