Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
Hatnavah a hnukkâbangnaw ni Jisuh koe a tho awh teh, kalvan uknaeram dawkvah apimaw kalenpoung han telah a pacei awh.
2 He called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,
Jisuh ni camo ca buet touh a kaw teh a hnukkâbangnaw rahak vah a ta.
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.
Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Nangmouh ni na kâthung awh teh camo patetlah na coung awh hoehpawiteh kalvan uknaeram dawk nâtuek hai na phat awh mahoeh.
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Hatdawkvah apipatet hai hete camo patetlah kârahnoum e teh kalvan uknaeram dawk kalenpounge lah ao han.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
Apipatethai ka min lahoi camo buetbuet touh ka dâw e teh, kai ka dâw e lah ao toe.
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.
Kai na ka yuem e hete camo buetbuet touh hah ka yon sak e teh lahuen dawk talungsum awi laihoi kadung poung e talî dawk pabawt pawiteh ahni hanlah bet ahawi.
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.
Sak payonnae dawkvah talaivan taminaw teh a yawthoe awh. Sak payonnae kaawm han. Hatei, payonnae ka sak sak e teh a yawthoe.
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)
Na kut khok ni na payon sak pawiteh kut khok hah tâtueng. Kut khok kuep laihoi ayungyoe hmai dawk a yungyoe na bo hlak teh kut khok kuep laipalah hringnae dawk na kâen pawiteh bet ahawi. (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 hell. (Geenna g1067)
Na mit ni na payon sak pawiteh na mit hah cawngkhawih. Na mit kahni touh hoi hell hmai dawk na bo hlak teh mit vang dueng hoi hringnae dawk na kâen pawiteh bet ahawi. (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.
Nangmouh ni hete camo buetbuet touh hah na hnep awh hoeh nahanlah kâhruetcuet awh. Na dei pouh awh. Ahnimae kalvantaminaw ni kalvan kho vah kaawm e Pa e minhmai hah pou a hmu awh toe.
Hothloilah, tami Capa teh kahmat e naw rungngang hanlah doeh a tho.
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?
Bangtelamaw na pouk awh. Tu 100 touh ka tawn e ni tu buet touh lam payon lah kahmat pawiteh, ahni ni tu 99 touh e hah mon vah cetakhai vaiteh, lam ka payon ni teh kahmat e tu buet touh hah tawng mahoeh na maw.
13 If he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. A hmu toteh lam ka payon hoeh ni teh kahmat hoeh e 99 touh hlakvah kahmat e buet touh dawk hoe a konawm.
14 Even so it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Hot patetvanlah kalvan kho kaawm e nangmae na Pa ni hete camo buet touh boehai rawk sak hanlah a ngainae awm hoeh.
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.
Na hmaunawngha ni nang dawk a sakpayon e awm pawiteh cet sin nateh namamouh roi dueng a yonnae pâpho pouh nateh yue. Na lawk hah tarawi pawiteh na hmaunawngha teh na hmu toe.
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.
Na lawk hah tarawi hoehpawiteh tami kahni kathum touh kapanuekkhaikung lah kaw ei. Hahoi, kaawm e lawk pueng caksak awh.
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.
Hotnaw e lawk hah tarawi hoehpawiteh kawhmoun koe dei pouh. Kawhmoun e lawk hah ngai hoehpawiteh Jentelnaw hoi tamuk kacawngnaw patetlah pouk awh.
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.
Atangcalah na dei pouh awh, talai van na katek awh e pueng teh kalvan kho hai katek lah ao han. Talai van rathap e pueng teh kalvan kho hai rathap lah ao han.
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.
Bout ka dei e teh, talai van vah nangmouh thung dawk tami kahni touh ni lungkânging lahoi na ratoum awh pawiteh, na ratoum e pueng hah kalvan kho kaawm e a Pa ni na poe han.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
Bangkongtetpawiteh, bangpatet e hmuen koehai ka min lahoi tami kahni kathum touh kamkhueng pawiteh ahnimae lungui kai ka o atipouh.
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?"
Hatnavah Jisuh hah Piter ni rek a hnai teh, Bawipa hmaunawngha ni kai dawk a sakpayon e hah avai na yit touh maw ka ngaithoum han telah a pacei teh, Jisuh ni vai sari touh na ngaithoum han ka tet hoeh.
22 Jesus said to him, "I do not tell you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Avai rui sari let sari totouh na ngaithoum han ka ti.
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
Hatdawkvah kalvan uknaeram teh, amae sannaw hah tangka lai ka dei pouh e siangpahrang buet touh hoi a kâvan.
24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Cayin koung to hoiyah tangka a thong cum touh laiba ka tawn e san buet touh hah a hmalah a thokhai awh.
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.
Ahni ni laiba patho nahan a tawn hoeh dawkvah ama hoi a yucanaw a tawn e hnonaw pueng yawt nateh laiba patho naseh telah a bawi ni kâ a poe.
26 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
Hote san ni a tabo teh Bawipa, na pahren ei, laiba kaawm e pueng hah na patho han atipouh navah,
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
A bawipa ni a pahren teh laiba kaawm e pueng hah a raphoe pouh teh a hlout sak.
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.'
Hote san teh a cei navah ama koe tangka 100 touh ka ba e san van hai a hmu toteh, tangka na patho leih ti teh a lahuen dawk a kara pouh.
29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
Hote san van ni hai a khok rahim a tabo pouh teh, kai hah na pahren ei, laiba kaawm e pueng hah na patho han doeh telah a kâhei ei nakunghai,
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
tha laipalah laiba a patho hoehroukrak thongim thung vah a paung.
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.
Hottelah e hno hah alouke sannaw ni a hmu awh navah, a lung puenghoi a pataw awh teh, a sakyoe e pueng hah amamae bawipa koe a cei awh teh a dei pouh awh.
32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant. I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
Hat toteh, a bawipa ni hote san hah a kaw teh, Oe! san kathout, nang ni na kâhei dawkvah na laiba pueng hah ka raphoe teh na hlout sak.
33 Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
Kai ni na pahren e patetlah nang ni na san hui hah, na pahren kawi nahoehmaw atipouh.
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due.
A bawipa teh a lungkhuek dawkvah a laiba pueng koung a patho hoehroukrak rektapkungnaw kut dawk patang palai sak hanlah a poe.
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother his trespasses from your heart."
Nangmouh haiyah hmaunawngha reira hah lungthin katang hoi na ngaithoum awh hoehpawiteh kalvanlae Apa ni hot patetvanlah nangmouh lathueng vah a sak van han.
