Matthew 18
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
In pacl sac, mwet tumal lutlut elos tuku ac siyuk sin Jesus, “Su fulat oemeet in Tokosrai lun kusrao uh?”
2 And he called a child to him, and set him in the midst of them,
Na Jesus el pangonma tulik srisrik se ac sap elan tu ye mutalos,
3 and said, Truly do I say to you, Unless ye are changed, and become as children, ye will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
ac el fahk, “Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, kowos fin tia ekla in oana tulik srisrik, kowos ac koflana ilyak nu in Tokosrai lun kusrao.
4 Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
El su fulat oemeet in Tokosrai lun kusrao uh pa el su akpusiselyal in oana tulik se inge.
5 And whoever receiveth one such child in my name, receiveth me.
Ac kutena mwet su eis sie tulik srisrik ouinge inek, el oayapa eisyu.
6 But whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe in me to fall away, it were better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck, and be swallowed up in the depth of the sea.
“Kutena mwet su fah aktukulkulye sie selos inge su srik su lulalfongiyu, ac wona nu sin mwet sacn in sripsripi sie eot wen inkwawal ac sisella elan walomla yen loal in meoa uh.
7 Woe to the world because of stumbling-blocks! For it must needs be that stumbling-blocks come; but woe to the man through whom the stumbling-block cometh!
Fuka kolukiya nu sin faclu ke oasr na ma su aktukulkulye mwet uh! Kain lumah inge ac nuna sikyak pacl nukewa, tusruktu ac fah arulana koluk nu sin mwet se su pwanang tuh ouiya inge in sikyak uh!
8 And if thy hand or thy foot is causing thee to fall, cut it off, and cast it from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life maimed or lame, than having two hands, or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
“Lac poum ku lac niom fin aktukulkulye kom, pakela ac sisla! Ac wo fin wanginla lac poum ku lac niom ac kom utyak nu in moul ma pahtpat, liki monum in fas ac sisiyang kom nu in e kawil. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thine eye is causing thee to fall, pluck it out, and cast it from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire. (Geenna g1067)
Ac la atronmotom fin aktukulkulye kom, tipalla ac sisla! Ac wo kom in utyak nu ke moul ma pahtpat wi atronmuta se na, liki atronmotom kewa in oasr ac sisiyang kom nu ke e lun hell. (Geenna g1067)
10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, that their angels in heaven continually behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.
“Liyaung tuh kowos in tia pilesru kutena selos su srik inge. Nga fahk nu suwos, tuh lipufan lalos elos mutana ye mutun Papa tumuk inkusrao pacl e nukewa.” [
Tuh Wen nutin Mwet el tuku in tuh molelosla su tuhlac.”]
12 What think ye? if a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them hath gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety-nine upon the mountains, and go and seek that which hath gone astray?
“Mea kowos nunku mu sie mwet ac oru fin oasr sheep siofok natul, ac soko tuhlac? Ya el ac tia filiya ma eungoul eu in muta mongo pe eol uh, ac som suk ma soko ma tuhlac uh?
13 And if it happen that he find it, truly do I say to you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
Ke el konauk, nga fahk nu suwos lah el ac engan yohk ke sheep soko ah, liki ma eungoul eu ma tia tuhlac uh.
14 Thus it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
In ouiya se na inge, Papa tomowos inkusrao El tia lungse kutena selos su srik inge in tuhlac.
15 Moreover, if thy brother sin, go and reprove him between thee and him alone. If he listen to thee, thou hast gained thy brother;
“Sie mwet lulalfongi fin orekma koluk lain kom, fahla nu yorol ac akkalemye ma sufal lal. Tusruktu, oru ma inge inmasrlomtal na. El fin porongekom, na orekma wo lom folokonulma.
16 but if he do not listen, take with thee one or two more; that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
A el fin tia porongekom, kom eis sie ku luo mwet in wi kom, tuh kas in alein nukewa in oasr akpwayeye sin mwet loh luo yak, oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk.
17 And if he disregard them, tell the matter to the church; but if he disregard the church also, let him be to thee as a heathen and a publican.
Ac el fin tia pacna porongalos, na kom fahkak ma nukewa nu sin church. Ac el fin srangesr lohng church, na kom tari oral oana sie mwet pegan, ku sie mwet eisani tax.
18 Truly do I say to you, Whatever ye shall bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and whatever ye shall loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
“Ke ma inge nga fahk nu suwos nukewa: Kutena ma kowos kapriya fin faclu, ac fah kapiri pac inkusrao; ac kutena ma kowos tulala faclu, ac fah taltalla pac inkusrao.
19 Again, I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing that they shall ask, it will be done for them by my Father o who is in heaven.
“Ac nga fahk pac nu suwos: Pacl nukewa ma luo suwos insese nu ke sie ma su kowos pre kac fin faclu, Papa tumuk inkusrao El ac fah oru nu suwos.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Tuh yen nukewa ma oasr mwet luo ku tolu tukeni we inek, nga fah welulos pac.”
21 Then came Peter, and said to him, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?
Na Peter el tuku nu yurin Jesus ac fahk, “Mwet Luti, sie mwet lulalfongi wiuk fin nuna orekma koluk nu sik, pacl ekasr nga ac nunak munas nu sel kac? Ya pacl itkosr?”
22 Jesus saith to him, I say not to thee, until seven times, but until seventy times seven.
Ac Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Mo, tia pacl itkosr, a itngoul pacl itkosr,
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who would settle accounts with his servants.
mweyen Tokosrai lun kusrao uh ouinge: Sie pacl ah tuh oasr sie tokosra su sulela in tuni soemoul lun mwet orekma lal.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, there was brought to him one, who owed him ten thousand talents.
El tufahna akoo in oru ma inge na utukyak sie selos su soemoul lal alukela million dollar.
25 But as he was unable to pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Mani su oasr yurin mwet kulansap sac tia fal in molela soemoul lal, ke ma inge tokosra el sap in kukakinyukla el oana sie mwet kohs, wi mutan kial, tulik natul ac ma nukewa lal, in akfalye misa lal.
26 Then that servant fell down and did obeisance to him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Ke ma inge mwet kulansap sac putati nu ye mutun tokosra sac ac fahk, ‘Nunak munas, mongfisrasr nu sik, ac nga ac fah akfalye nu sum ma nukewa!’
27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
Tokosra sac pakomutal ac nunak munas nu sel ac eela soemoul lal, na el fuhlella el som.
28 But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred denaries; and he laid hold of him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.
“Na ke mwet sac el oatula, el sun sie sin mwet orekma wial su soemoul nu sel ke sie lupa na srisrik. El sruokilya ac iseya kwawal ac fahk, ‘Molema soemoul lom nu sik uh!’
29 His fellow-servant then fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.
Mwet kulansap sac putati ye mutal ac fahk, ‘Nunak munas, mongfisrasr nu sik, ac nga fah akfalyela soemoul luk nu sum!’
30 And he would not; but went away and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
A el tia lungse lohng, ac el eisalang nu in presin tuh elan muta nwe ke na el akfalyela soemoul lal.
31 Then his fellow-servants, seeing what was done, were greatly grieved; and went and told their lord all that had been done.
Ke mwet orekma wial saya elos liye ma inge, elos arulana toasr kac, ac som fahk ma nukewa nu sin tokosra sac.
32 Then his lord, having called him, saith to him, Thou wicked servant! All that debt I forgave thee because thou didst beseech me;
Na tokosra sac solama mwet sac ac fahk nu sel, ‘Kom sie mwet kulansap arulana koluk! Nga nunak munas nu sum ke ma nukewa kom soemoul nu sik kac, mweyen na kom kwafe nu sik.
33 shouldst not thou also have had pity on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee?
Ya tia fal kom in nunak munas pac nu sin mwet kulansap se wiom ah, oana ke nga oru nu sum?’
34 And his lord was enraged, and delivered him to the inflicters of punishment, till he should pay all that was due to him.
Tokosra el arulana kasrkusrak sel, ac supwalla nu in presin elan muta keok we nwe ke na el akfalyela soemoul lal nukewa.”
35 So also will my heavenly Father do to you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
Ouinge Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Papa tumuk inkusrao El ac oru oapana inge nu suwos, kowos fin tia nunak munas nu sin mwet lulalfongi wiowos ke insiowos na pwaye.”
