Matthew 18
1 In that hour came, the disciples unto Jesus, saying—Who then is, greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens?
Lanyogunu bi hoadikaaba den naigini Jesu kani ki buali o: Tanpoli diema nni hme n baa tugi li yuli?
2 And, calling near a child, he set it in the midst of them,
Jesu den yini ki biwaaga ki sieni o bi siiga ki yedi:
3 and said—Verily, I say unto you, Except ye turn and become as the children, in nowise, shall ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
N waani yi i moamoani, yi yaa lebidi ki tua nani a biwaala yeni yi kan kua tanpoli diema nni.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, the same, is the greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens;
Yua n miini o yuli ki tua nani ya biwaaga n tie na kuli, wani n baa tugi li yuli tanpoli diema nni.
5 And, whosoever shall give welcome unto one such child as this, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome.
Yua n ga ki biwaaga nani one cangu kuli n yeli nni, ga mini yaa cangoe.
6 And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones who believe in me, it profiteth him, that there be hung a large mill-stone about his neck, and he be sunk in the wide main of the sea.
Ama yua mo n baa teni ke yaa bonwaala n daani nni na siiga baa yendo n tudi kuli, li bi baa hani ki cie landaano po ban lani o li naacianli, ki lu o mi ñincianma nni wan mili ki bodi.
7 Alas for the world! by reason of the causes of stumbling; for it is, necessary, that the causes of stumbling come, —nevertheless, alas for the man through whom the cause of stumbling cometh!
Fala baa ye leni handuna kelima li tingbali bonla yaa po. Kelima li kan tuo ke li tingbali bonla kan yaa ye. Ama fala baa ye leni yaa nilo n cuani la.
8 But, if, thy hand or thy foot, be causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly for thee, to enter into life, maimed or lame, rather than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the age-abiding fire. (aiōnios g166)
A nuu yaaka a taali ya tie tingbali bonla, han jia ki lu foagima. Kelima a ya baa yaa miali n kan gbeni leni taayenli yaaka nuyendu, li baa hani apo ki cie han yaa pia taana lie leni nii lie ban nan lu ha yaa fantama n ki pia gbindima nni (aiōnios g166)
9 And, if, thine eye, causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly, for thee, one-eyed, into life, to enter, rather than, having two eyes, to be cast into the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
A nunbu n ya tie apo tingbali bonla, han logidi bu ki lu foagima, kelima a ya baa yaa miali n kan gbeni leni nuyendu, li baa hani apo li cie han yaa pia nuni lie ban lu ha ku fantabuogu nni. (Geenna g1067)
10 Beware! do not despise one of these little ones; For I say unto you—that, their messengers in the heavens, do, continually, behold the face of my Father in the heavens.
Fangi mani yi yula ki da fali a bonwaala na siiga baa yendo, kelima n yedi yi ke tanpoli po bi malekinba ye baa yua n ye tanpoli nintuali yogunu kuli.
Kelima o Joa Bijua cua ki baa faabi yaaba n yaadi.
12 How, to you, doth it seem? If a certain man come to have a hundred sheep and one from among them go astray, Will he not leave the ninety-nine upon the mountains, and going, seek the straying one?
Yi tama be? O joa ya pia pe kobiga. Bi siiga yendo n yaadi, o baa tieni lede? Waa baa ha yaa piiyia n peyiadi n sieni bi yankpaakaanu a juana kani ki gedi ki ban lingi yua n yaadi yeni?
13 And, if it should be that he find it, Verily, I say unto you—He rejoiceth over it, more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.
N waani yi i moamoani, o ya la o kuli, o baa mangi o pali boncianla kelima laa pia po ki cie yaa piiyiadi n peyiadi n ki yaadi yeni.
14 Thus, there is no desire, in the presence of my Father who is in the heavens, that, one of these little ones, should be lost.
Li tie yeni leni yi Baa yua n ye tanpoli, waa bua ke a bonwaala na siiga baa yendo n yaadi.
15 But, if thy brother sin, withdraw, convince him, betwixt thee and him, alone, —If unto thee he hearken, thou hast gained thy brother;
A lielo ya tieni ti tuonbiadi, gedi, fini leni wani yi lie lie, ki waani o o tagili. O ya tuo a tundi, a ga a lielo yeni.
16 But, if he do not hearken, take with thee, yet one or two, that, at the mouth of two witnesses or three, every declaration, maybe established;
Ama o yaa tuo a tundi, han taa yendi yaaka niba lie ke mi maama kuli n kadi seedinba lie yaaka seedinba taa yaa ñoabu nni.
17 But, if he hear them amiss, tell it to the assembly, —And, if, even the assembly, he hear amiss, Let him be unto thee, just as the man of the nations and the tax-collector.
O ya yie kaa cengi ba mo, han waani Kilisiti n yini yaaba taanli. O ya yie kaa cengi Kilisiti n yini yaaba taanli moko, han yaa nua o nani o nilamo leni o lubigaalo yeni.
18 Verily, I say unto you—Whatsoever things ye shall bind on the earth, shall be bound in heaven; and, whatsoever things ye shall loose on the earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
N waani yi i moamoani, yin baa loli handuna nni kuli, li baa loli tanpoli po, yin baa lodi yaala mo handuna nni kuli, li baa lodi tanpoli po.
19 Again, [verily] I say unto you—If two from among you shall agree upon the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be brought to pass for them, from my Father who is in the heavens;
N go waani yi, i niinni niba lie yaa taani ñoabu ki mia yaala kuli handuna nni. N Baa yua n ye tanpoli baa pa ba la.
20 For, where there are two or three, gathered together into my name, there, am I, in their midst.
Kelima niba lie bi niba taa yaa taani n yeli nni, n ye bi siiga.
21 Then, coming near, Peter said [to him]—Lord! how many times, shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until, seven, times?
Lani Pieliden nagini Jesu kani ki yedi o: N Diedo, n lielo ya tudi npo, n baa tieni opo sugili hali taalima ha? Hali taalima lele bi?
22 Jesus saith to him—I say not unto thee, unto, seven, times, but, until seventy times seven.
Jesu den goa ki yedi o: Mii yedi a hali taalima lele ka, ama n yedi a piilele hali taalima lele.
23 For this cause, hath the kingdom of the heavens become like unto a man, a king, who wished to settle an account with his servants;
Kelima tanpoli diema tie nani ya bado n den bua o naacenba n waani o ban kubi opo ya ligi maama fuuli.
24 And, when he, began, to settle, there was brought unto him a, certain, debtor, of a thousand talents;
Wan den cili ki coadi yua kuli n kpendini yaa ligi, bi den cuani o kani yendo ke o pia li panli ke li tie ligiciami.
25 and, he, not having, wherewith to pay, the master ordered him to be sold, and the wife, and the children, and whatsoever he had, —and payment to be made.
Wan ki den pia liba ki baa pa laa panli yeni, o canba den ban kuadi o, wani o pua leni o bila leni wan pia yaala kuli, ke li panli n gbeni.
26 The servant therefore, falling down, began to do homage unto him, saying—Have patience with me, and, all, will I pay thee.
O naacemo den gbaani o nintuali ki yedi: Canba, juuni npo n baa pa ha likuli.
27 And, moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him, and, the loan, he, forgave, him.
Mi nihima den cuo o canba laa naacemo po ke o puni o sugili o panli kuli po ki cedi wan gedi.
28 But that servant, going out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him, a hundred denaries, and, laying hold of him, he began seizing him by the throat, saying, Pay! if anything thou owest.
Laa naacemo n den ñani, o den tuogi o lieba siiga yendo yua n den kubi opo kujapiena kobiga. O den bibi o ki cuo o niali ki yedi o: Pa nni n panli.
29 His fellow servant, therefore, falling down, began beseeching him, saying, Have patience with me! And I will pay thee.
O lielo yedi den gbaani o taana kani ki mia o sugili ki yedi: Juuni npo, n baa pa ha.
30 He, however, would not, but went away and cast him into prison, —until he should pay what was owing.
Ama waa den bua ki tieni opo sugili o den taa o ki ban kuani o li kadidieli nni hali wan baa pa o panli kuli ki gbeni.
31 His fellow-servants, therefore, seeing, the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, —and went and made quite plain to their master all the things which had been done.
O lieba n den laa wan tieni yaala kuli, bi pala den biidi boncianla. Bi den gedi ki ban togidi bi canba yaala n tieni kuli.
32 Then, calling him near, his master saith unto him—O wicked servant! All that debt, forgave I thee, because thou didst beseech me.
Lanwani bi canba den yini o naacemo yeni ki yedi o: O naacenbiado na, n den cabi a leni a panli kuli kelima a den mia nni.
33 Was it not binding, upon thee also, to have mercy upon thy fellow-servant, as, I also, on thee, had mercy?
Laa pundi ke fini mo n gbadi o lielo po mi nihima nani min gbadi apo maama yeni?
34 And, provoked to anger, his master delivered him up to the torturers, until he should pay all that was owing.
O canba pali den beni boncianla. O den teni o li kadidieli jiidikaaba ban faligi o hali wan pa o panli kuli ki gbeni.
35 Thus, my heavenly Father also, will do unto you, if ye forgive not each one his brother, from your hearts.
Jesu den juodi ki yedi: N Baa yua n ye tanpoli baa soani yi moko yene, yi siiga yua n kaa puni o lielo sugili leni payenli.
