< Matthew 18 >
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
Tua hun laitak in a nungzui te Jesus kungah hongpai a, vantung kumpingam sung ah a kua lianbel tu ziam? ci in dong hi.
2 He called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,
Jesus in patangno khat a kung ah sam in, amate laizang ah koi a,
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.
A tatak in kong ci ciang, kikheal in patangno te bang na hi bua uh le, vantung ngam sung ah na tum thei batu uh hi.
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Tua ahikom a kuamapo hi patangno bang in ama le ama a ki niamkhiak te, vantung kumpingam sung ah a lianbel hi tu hi.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
A kuamapo keima min taw tabang patangno khat a sang sia in keima hong sang a hihi.
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.
Mihing khatpo in keima hong um hi patangno khat a siatsua peuma, a ngawng ah an ngoaina suangtum khai in, tuipi thuk sung ah khia leang ama atu in phazawlai hi.
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.
Mihing te upna a lalsak thei nate om ahikom, hileitung mite mailam bing hi! Tabang te sia hong piang tawntung tu hi, ahihang tabang a piangsak te atu in, a mailam bing hi!
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 )
Tua ahikom na khut a hibale na peang in hong khialsak le, tan in: khut lang ni, a hibale peang ni nei in tawntung mei sung ah khiak thuak tu sang in, pumpi cing ngawl in nuntakna sung ah tum tu phazaw hi. (aiōnios )
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 hell. (Geenna )
Taciang na mit in hong khialsak le, khel in a, vawk in: mit ni taw hell sung ah khiak suk thuak sang in, mit langkhat taw nuntakna sung ah tum tu phazaw hi. (Geenna )
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.
Patangno te sung pan khatpo zawnsak vawt thak ngawl tu in kidawm in; banghangziam cile, amate vantungmi te in vantung Ka Pa mai en tawntung uh hi, ci in kong son hi.
Banghangziam cile mihing Tapa sia, a bote ngum tu in hongpai a hihi.
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?
Bangbang in na ngaisun uh ziam? mihing khat in tuu zakhat nei a, khat sia lampial in bo bang hile, sawm kua le kua te nu sia in mual tung theampo ah pai in, a bo tuu sia zong tu hi ngawl ziam?
13 If he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
Mu kik a hile, a man tatak kong ci ciang, a bo ngawl tuu sawm kua le kua te sang in, tua a bo tuu khat tung ah lungdam zaw hi.
14 Even so it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Tabang ma in vantung a om na Pa in, hibang patangno khat a siat tu oai ngawl hi.
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.
Bek tham ngawl in, na suapuipa in na tung ah hong khial a hile, va pai tan a, na ki laklaw ah a khial na a ma bek taw kikum vun: na thu hong ngai a hile, na suapuipa na nga kik zo hi.
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.
Ahihang na thu hong ngai bua a hile, mihing a dang khat, a hibale, ni zuisak in a, taciang tetti ni le thum kam pan a pau nate taw ki kipsak tu hi.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If he refuses to hear the church also, let him be to you as an unbeliever or a tax collector.
Taciang ama in hong ngai ngawl in na thu hong ni bale, pawlpi tung ah son in: ahihang pawlpi thu zong ngai ngawl in a ni nuam tuan ba lai le, Pathian he ngawl te le shiadong te bang in koi lel vun.
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.
A tatak in kong ci ciang, leitung ah na hen uh te vantung ah zong ki hen tu hi: taciang leitung ah na tha uh te, vantung ah zong ki tha tu hi.
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.
Khatvei kong son kik hi, leitung ah mihing ni a nget tu thu taw kisai thu akisi le van a om Ka Pa in vawtsak tu hi.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
Banghangziam cile ka min taw ni le thum na ki kaikhop uh ciang, note lai ah keima ka om hi, ci hi.
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?"
Jesus kungah Peter hongpai a, Topa awng, ka tung ah hong khial ka suapuipa bangza vei dong maisak tu khi ziam? sali vei dong ziam? ci in dong hi.
22 Jesus said to him, "I do not tell you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Jesus in, Sali vei dong hong ci ngawl khi hi: ahihang sawm sali vei a se sali dong maisak tu ni hi.
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
Tua ahikom vantung kumpingam sia, a naseam te sazian a sittel kumpipa taw kibang hi.
24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Tabang in a sittel ciang in, talent tul sawm a ba mi khat a kung ah hong ki puak hi.
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.
Ahihang piak tu a nei ngawl hu in, a topa in, a zi le a ta, a neisa theampo zuak in, piasak tu in thupia hi.
26 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
Naseampa bok in bia a, topa, hong ngak lai tan, a vekpi in hong lo tu khi hi, ci hi.
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
Tasiaciang in kumpipa in a naseampa khuangai huai sa a, a bat theampo maisak in ciasak hi.
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.'
Hi kamale tua naseampa sia pai in, ama tung ah zakhat a ba a nasep khoppui khat taw a ki sik ciang, a tawlsan in, na leiba hong lo tan, ci hi.
29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
Tasiaciang a naseppui pa sia a peang nuai ah bok in, hong ngak hi lai po tan, a vekpi in kong lo tu hi, ci in thum hi.
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
Ahizong maisak nuam ngawl hi: a leiba a lo siat dong thong sung ah khum hi.
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.
A naseppui te in a mu uh ciang in, a thin uh nuam ngawl a, a vawt na theampo a topa kung ah pai in son tek uh hi.
32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant. I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
Tua zawkciang a topa in ama sam a, maw nang naseam tatsia, nong thum bang in na leiba theampo hong maisak khi hi:
33 Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
Nang tung ah hesuakna ka nei bang in, nang zong na naseppui te tung ah hesuakna na nei tu kilawm hi ngawl ziam? ci hi.
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due.
Kumpipa a thin-uk a, a leiba a lo siat mateng thong cingpa kung ah ap hi.
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother his trespasses from your heart."
Tasia bangma in a kuamapo na suapuipa i sepkhial nate na thinsung uh pan na maisak bua uh le, vantung a om Ka Pa in note zong hong maisak ngawl tu hi, ci hi.
