Matthew 18
1 In that [very] hour came the disciples to Jesus saying; Who then [the] greatest is in the kingdom of the heavens?
Lukumbi lwenulo vawuliwa vamhambili Yesu, vakamkota, “Yani mweavimvaha Muunkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga?”
2 And having called to [Him] (Jesus *k*) a child He set it in midst of them
Yesu amkemili mwana mmonga na akamyimika pagati yavi,
3 and said; Amen I say to you; only unless you may turn and may become as the little children, certainly not shall you enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Kangi akajova, “Nikuvajovela chakaka, ngati mwing'anamuka lepi na kuvya ngati vana vadebe, katu nakuyingila muunkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.
4 Whoever therefore (will humble *N(k)O*) himself as little child this, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.
Mundu yeyoha mweakujihelesa pahi ngati mwana, mwenuyo ndi mvaha munkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.
5 And who[ever] (if *NK(o)*) shall receive one little child (such *N(k)O*) in the name of Me, Me myself receives.
Mundu yeyoha mweakumpokela mwana mmonga ngati uyu paliina langu, akunipokela nene.”
6 Who[ever] then maybe may cause to stumble one of the little ones of these who are believing in Me myself, it is better for him that may be hung a millstone heavy (around *N(k)(o)*) the neck of him, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.
“Mundu yeyoha mweakumbudisa mmonga pagati ya vadebe vevisadika vabudayi, ngayivii mbanga akungiwa liganga livaha la kuyagila muhingu na kujwigiswa pagati ya nyanja yivaha.
7 Woe to the world because of the causes of sin; Necessary [are] for (is *ko*) to come the stumbling blocks, but woe to the man (that [one] *k*) through whom the offense comes!
Valachikolela vandu va mulima ndava ya kuyokisa vangi vagwai. Mabudisa genago yikugagana gahumila, nambu alachikolela mundu yula mweakugabudisa.”
8 If now the hand of you or the foot of you causes to sin you, do cut off (it *N(K)O*) and do cast [it] from you; better for you it is to enter into life crippled or lame than two hands or two feet having to be cast into the fire eternal. (aiōnios g166)
“Ngati chiwoko chaku amala chigendelu chaku chikubudisa, chidumulai na kutaga kutali, Mbanga veve kuyingila kuwumi changali chiwoko chimonga amala chigendelu chimonga kuliku veve kuyingila kumotu wa magono goha wangajimika kuni uvi na mawoko gavili amala magendelu gavili. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if the eye of you causes to sin you, do gouge out it and do cast [it] from you; better for you it is one-eyed into life to enter than two eyes having to be cast into the hell of the fire. (Geenna g1067)
Lihu laku lakakubudisa, ulitupula na ulitaga kutali. Mbanga veve kuyingila muwumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu kuni uvi na lihu limonga kuliku kuvya na mihu gavili na kutagwa kumotu wa magono goha wangali mwishu wangajimika kuni uvi na mihu gaku gavili.” (Geenna g1067)
10 do see [that] not may you despise one of the little ones of these; I say for to you that the angels of them in [the] heavens through all [times] behold the face of the Father of mine who [is] in [the] heavens.
“Mjiyangalila mkoto kuvavevesa mmonga wa vadebe ava. Nikuvajovela vamitumu vavi kunani kwa Chapanga magono goha vavi palongolo ya Dadi wangu.
11 (came *KO*) (for son of man to save those already perishing. *K*)
Ndava muni Mwana wa Mundu abwelili kusangula chechiyagili.”
12 What you do think? If may happen a certain man [has] a hundred sheep and shall have gone astray one of them, surely (he will leave *N(k)O*) the ninety nine on the mountains, (and *no*) having gone will seek the [one] going astray?
“Mwihololela wuli? Ngati mundu avi na mambelele miya yimonga, limbele limonga lakayagai. Wu, nakugaleka mambelele tisini na tisa pachitumbi, kuhamba kulonda limonga lelikayagili?
13 And if he may happen to find it, Amen I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety nine which not gone astray.
Ngati aliwene, nikuvajovela chakaka yati akulihekelela neju lenilo kuliku gala tisini na tisa gangayaga.
14 Thus not it is [the] will of the Father (of you *NK(O)*) who [is] in [the] heavens that may perish (one *N(k)O*) of the little ones of these.
Mewawa, Dadi winu mweavi kunani, nakugana mmonga wa vadebe ava ayaga.”
15 If now shall sin against you the brother of you, do go (and *k*) do reprove him between you and him alone. If you he shall hear, you have gained the brother of you.
“Mlongo waku akakuhokela umhambila ukamlangisa cheakuhokili muvi mwavene. Akakuyuwana ndi umpati kavili mlongo waku.
16 only however unless he shall hear, do take with you more one or two that upon [the] testimony of two witnesses or of three may be strengthened every declaration.
Ngati nakukuyuwanila, hamba na mundu yungi mmonga amala vavili muni kwa malovi ga vandu vavili amala vadatu lijambu loloha limaliswa ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova.
17 If now he shall fail to listen to them, do tell [it] to the church. If now also to the church he shall fail to listen, he should be to you as the pagan and the tax collector.
Ngati akabela kuvayuwana venavo, uwujovela msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, ngati akuvayuwanila lepi avo, kwa veve ndi avya ngati vandu vangammanya Chapanga na vevitola kodi.”
18 Amen I say to you; as much as (if *NK(o)*) you shall bind on the earth, will have been bound in (*ko*) heaven; and as much as if you shall loose on the earth, will have been loosed in (*ko*) heaven.
“Nikujovela chakaka, chemwibesa pamulima, yati chibesewa kunani kwa Chapanga, mewawa chechiyidakiliwa pamulima yati chiyidakiliwa kunani kwa Chapanga.
19 Again (Amen *NO*) I say to you that if two shall agree (of *no*) you on the earth concerning any matter that if they shall ask, it will be done for them by the Father of Mine who [is] in [the] heavens.
Nijova kangi, vavili pagati yinu vakayidakilana pamulima ndava ya lijambu loloha la kumuyupa Chapanga, Dadi wangu wa kunani yati akuvahengela lijambu lenilo.
20 Where for are two or three assembled unto My name, there am I in [the] midst of them.
Ndava muni popoha pamuvi vavili amala vadatu kwa liina langu, nene nivii penapo pagati yavi.”
21 Then having come Peter said to Him; Lord, how often will sin against me myself the brother of mine and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?
Kangi Petili akamhambila Yesu, akamkota “Bambu, wu, mlongo wangu akanibudilayi, nimulekekesa mala yilinga? Amala mala saba?”
22 Says to him Jesus; Not I say to you up to seven times but up to seventy times seven!
Yesu akayangula, “Nijova lepi nga mala saba, nambu sabini mala saba.”
23 Because of this has become like the kingdom of the heavens to a man a king who desired to settle accounts with the servants of him.
Ndava yeniyi ndi Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana na mkulu mmonga mweaganili kuhenga mvalangu wa madeni na vatumisi vaki.
24 When was beginning then he to settle (was brought to *NK(o)*) to him one a debtor of ten thousand talents.
Peatumbwili kuvalanga, vamletili mundu mweadaiwayi mashonga elufu kumi.
25 [When] not is having [anything] now he to pay he commanded him the master (of him *k*) to be sold and the wife (of him *ko*) and the children and all as much as (he has *N(k)O*) and payment to be made.
Mundu mwenuyo avi lepi na chindu cha kulipa, mkulu waki akahamula, aguliswai ngati mvanda mwene na mdala waki na vana vaki na vindu vyeavili navyu muni valipa lideni.
26 Having fallen down therefore the servant was bowing on his knees to him saying; (lord *ko*) do have patience with (me myself, *NK(o)*) and all I will pay to you.
Hinu, mtumisi yula. Akagwa pahi, akafugama, akajova, unilindila nene yati nikukulipa lideni loha!
27 Having been moved with compassion now the master of the servant, that [one] released him and the debt forgave him.
Mkulu yula akamhengela lipyana akamlekekesa lideni lila akamleka ahamba.
28 Having gone out however the servant same found one of the fellow servants of him who was owing to him a hundred denarii, and having seized him he was throttling [him] saying; do pay (to me *k*) (if *N(k)O*) any you owe.’
“Nambu mundu yula pawukili, akakonganeka na mtumisi muyaki mweamdayayi mashonga gadebe. Akamkamula akamdodoyola hingu, akumjovela ‘Nilipa lideni laku!’
29 Having fallen down therefore the fellow servant of him (into the feet of him *K*) was begging him saying; do have patience with (me myself, *NK(o)*) and (all things *K*) I will pay you.
Mtumisi muyaki akafugama, akajova, niyupa, ‘Unilindila nene yati nikukulipa lideni laku loha!’
30 But not he was willing, but having gone he cast him into prison until (what of him *ko*) he may pay that which is being owed.
Nambu mwene angayidakila, ndi akamusopa muchifungu mbaka peilipa lideni lila.
31 Having seen (therefore *N(k)O*) the fellow servants of him the [things] having taken place they were grieved deeply, and having gone they narrated to the master (of themselves *N(k)O*) all that having taken place.
Hinu, vatumisi vayaki pavawene lijambu lelahumalili vakaviniswa mtima, vakahamba kumjovela mkulu wavi kulivala lijambu lelahengiki.
32 Then having called to him the master of him says to him; Servant evil, all the debt, that [one] I forgave you because you begged me.
Kangi mkulu yula akamkemela mtumisi mwenuyo, akamjovela, ‘Veve ndi mtumisi mhakau neju! Nikulekekisi lideni laku loha pewaniyupili.
33 Surely it was necessary also you to have pitied the fellow servant of you as also I myself also I myself you pitied?
Wu, yakuganili lepi veve kumlekekesa mtumisi muyaku ngati chenikulekekisi nene?’
34 And having been angry the master of him delivered him to the jailers until that he may pay all which is being owed (to him. *ko*)
Hinu mkulu yula akamema ligoga, akamgotola kwa vang'aisa muchifungu mbaka peilipa lideni laki loha.”
35 Thus also the Father of Mine (heavenly *N(k)O*) will do to you only unless you may forgive each the brother of him from the heart of you (the trespasses of them. *K*)
“Na dadi wangu mweavi kunani yati akuvahengela mewawa ngati kila mmonga winu akumlekekesa lepi mlongo waki kwa mtima waki woha.”
