Matthew 18
1 IN that hour the disciples came near to Jeshu, saying, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Leleꞌ naa, Yesus ana mana tungga nara reu ratane mbali E rae, “Amaꞌ! Seka monaeꞌ lenaꞌ mia basa Lamatualain atahori nara?”
2 And Jeshu called a child, and made him stand in the midst of them,
Boe ma Yesus noꞌe nala anadꞌikiꞌ sa, de naririi e neu taladꞌa nara.
3 and said, Amen I say to you, unless you be converted and become as children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Basa ma Ana olaꞌ nae, “Rena malolole! Atahori mana nau masoꞌ dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ atahorin, ana musi ubꞌa dudꞌuꞌan dei, fo dadꞌi onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ nda mana nahine soꞌu-soꞌuꞌ aon sa.
4 Whosoever therefore humbleth himself as this child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Huu atahori mana maloe-madꞌae ralaꞌ onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ ia, eni atahori monaeꞌ lenaꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ matan.
5 And whosoever shall receive as like this child in my name, he receiveth me.
Boe ma atahori mana simbo atahori anak onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ ia, huu namahere neu Au, na, atahori naa simbo Au ena.”
6 And every one that shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, to him it had been better that the mill-stone of an ass were hung to his neck, and himself plunged into the depths of the sea.
Basa ma Yesus nafadꞌe se fai nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori tao anadꞌikiꞌ esa tungga dala salaꞌ, losa ana nda namahere Au sa ena, na besa-bꞌesa, o! Malole lenaꞌ atahori paꞌa fatu monaeꞌ sa, neu boton, fo neꞌetetenaꞌ e tasi rala neu.
7 Woe to the world from causes of offence! for it is unavoidable that causes of offence will come;
Raefafoꞌ ia memaꞌ mamana deꞌulakaꞌ, huu hambu dalaꞌ hetar mana tao atahori tudꞌa salaꞌ rala reu. Te atahori mana hambu sosoeꞌ seli, naeni atahori mana tao atahori laen tudꞌa salaꞌ.
8 but woe to the man by whom the causes of offence shall come! If, then, thine hand or thy foot shall be a cause of offence to thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee; for it is good for thee that thou enter into life lame or mutilated; and not that, having two hands or two feet, thou fall into the fire of eternity. (aiōnios g166)
Mete ma tao salaꞌ mendiꞌ limam, do, eim, na, nggero hendi e! Huu malole lenaꞌ sorga muu mendiꞌ a limam seri, do, eim seri, afiꞌ losa ara nggari nggo misiꞌ ai naraka rala muu mo limam ma eim ruꞌa se. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thine eye be a cause of offence to thee, dig it out, and cast it from thee; good (it is) for thee that with one eye thou enter into life; and not that, having two eyes, thou fall into the gihâna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
Mete ma, tao salaꞌ mendiꞌ matam, na edꞌo hendi e! Huu malole lenaꞌ masoꞌ sorga muu mo matam esaꞌ a, afiꞌ losa ara nggari nggo misiꞌ ai naraka muu mo matam ruꞌa se.” (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you contemn not one of these little ones: for I say unto you that their angels in all time are beholding the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Yesus olaꞌ fai nae, “Besa-bꞌesa, o! Afiꞌ losa hei miloe-midꞌae anadꞌikiꞌ onaꞌ ia. Huu Lamatuaꞌ aten mana sia sorga ranea se. Ma ate naa ra sudꞌi a reu fain sa, fo rafadꞌe soꞌal atahori ia ra dala nara neu Lamatualain mana sia sorga.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which had perished.
Ama duꞌa malolole, te Au ae fee nekendandaaꞌ taꞌo ia: hambu atahori sa bibꞌi lombon natun esa. Faiꞌ sa ma, hambu bibꞌi lombo sa lao leli, tunggaꞌ a dalan. Naa, ama duꞌa mae manatadꞌa a musi tao saa? Neꞌo Ana lao hela bibꞌi lombon ka 99 nara sia leteꞌ fo neu sangga bibꞌi lombo ka esaꞌ mana mopoꞌ naa. Mete ma ana hambu baliꞌ ena, na ana namahoꞌo mete bibꞌi lombo ka esaꞌ fo ana nita baliꞌ naa lena mia bibꞌi lombo ka 99 fo nda mana mopoꞌ ra sa. [Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, uma fo ae fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori mana lao leliꞌ mia dala ndo-tetuꞌ a.]
12 How doth it appear to you? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them shall wander from them, doth he not leave the ninety and nine on the mountain, and, going, seek that which had wandered?
13 And if he shall find it, assuredly I tell you that he rejoiceth in it more than (in) the ninety and nine which wandered not.
14 So it is not good before your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Dadꞌi mae akaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ sa mopo o, Au Ama ngga sia sorga nda namahoꞌo sa.”
15 NOW if thy brother offend against thee, go, and argue (the matter) between thyself and him alone; and if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Yesus olaꞌ fai nae, “Mete ma toronoom atahori mamahereꞌ ra tao salaꞌ neu nggo, na, musi muu mundaa mo e. Mete ma akaꞌ ruꞌa nggi, dei fo feꞌe mufadꞌe salan. Mete ma ana rena oꞌolam, na, hei ruꞌa nggi malole baliꞌ ena.
16 But if he hear thee not, take with thee one or two, that upon the mouth of two or three witnesses may be established every word.
Te mete ma ana nda nau rena nggo sa, na, muu moꞌe mala nonoom atahori esa do rua fo mimiloloꞌ mii. Mii mindaa mo atahori naa, fo olaꞌ mo e fai. Huu sia Lamatuaꞌ susura Meumaren nenesuraꞌ oi, ‘Sia dedꞌeat esa, musi hambu sakasii rua do telu mana olaꞌ ona esaꞌ, dei fo feꞌe na simbo dedꞌea-oꞌola nara.’
17 And if, also, he will not hear them, tell the church; but if he will neither hear the church, let him be to thee as a publican and as a heathen.
Te mete ma ana nda feꞌe nau rena oꞌola mara sa, na, mii mifadꞌe jamaꞌat. Mete ma ana o nda feꞌe nau simbo no maloleꞌ jamaꞌat ra oꞌolan, sa, na, duꞌa mae ana onaꞌ atahori nda feꞌe nahine Lamatuaꞌ sa. Mete ma hokoꞌ, duꞌa mae deꞌulakan onaꞌ mana edꞌa bꞌea ra.
18 And, Amen I say unto you, that whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Misinedꞌa malolole Au oꞌola ngga ia, e! Saa fo hei ena-ai sia raefafoꞌ ia, naa Lamatuaꞌ ena-ai sia sorga ena. Ma saa fo hei fee isin sia raefafoꞌ ia, naa Lamatuaꞌ fee isin sia sorga ena boe.
19 Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent on earth concerning every thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
Ma Au ufadꞌe seluꞌ ae, mete ma hambu atahori rua sia hei hule-oꞌe no ralaꞌ esa, dei fo Au Ama ngga sia sorga fee se saa fo ara roꞌeꞌ a.
20 For where two or three are assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Mete ma hambu atahori rua do telu raꞌabꞌue fo hule-oꞌe reu esa, huu sira, Au atahori nggara, na, Au o sia taladꞌa nara boe.”
21 Then Kipha came near to him, and said to him, My Lord, how many times, if my brother offend me, shall I forgive him; until seven times?
Basa naa ma, Petrus nema natane Yesus nae, “Papa, au ae utane mbei. Mete ma toronoo ngga atahori mamahereꞌ tao salaꞌ nasafafali mbali au, na, au musi fee ambon neu e lao hira? Lao hitu, do?”
22 Jeshu said to him, I say not to thee, Until seven, but, Until seventy times seven and seven.
Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ! Musi fee ambon neu e losa hitu lao hitu nulu, losa nda bisa ito reken mala sa ena.
23 THEREFORE is the kingdom of the heavens likened to a royal person who would take the account from his servants.
Ama musi tao tungga taꞌo naa, huu Lamatualain onaꞌ maneꞌ esa mana ito-reken pagau nara huta-buku nara.
24 And when he began to receive, they brought to him one who owed a myriad talents.
Leleꞌ Ana ito-reken ma, ana denu atahorin esa neu noꞌe pagawen esa mana nahuta doiꞌ mbali e, losa juta-juta.
25 And when he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded that they should sell (both) himself, his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and to pay.
Te pagawe a nda bae nala huta-bukun sa. Dadꞌi maneꞌ a parenda nae, ‘Mii seo atahori ia no basa sao ana nara, fo ara dadꞌi ate. Boe ma seo mibasaꞌ hata-heto nara, fo bae neu huta-buku nara.’
26 And that servant fell and worshipped him, saying, My lord, be patient of spirit toward me, and all things I (will) pay thee.
Rena taꞌo naa, ma pagawe naa naloe aon de sendeꞌ lululanggan neu maneꞌ a matan, de kokoe e nae, ‘Aduu! Amaꞌ, e! Ama maneꞌ tulun fee fai mbei neu au dei do! Dei fo au fee baliꞌ basa huta nggara.’
27 And the lord of that servant had mercy, and absolved him, and forgave him his debt.
Maneꞌ a rena nala onaꞌ naa ma, ana kasian e. Boe ma ana nggaris memaꞌ hendi basa pagau naa huta nara. Boe ma ana mboꞌi hendi pagawe naa.
28 Then went forth that servant, and found one of his fellows who owed him a hundred pence; and he seized him, strangling, and saying to him, Give me what thou owest to me.
Te leleꞌ pagawe naa dea neu, ma nandaa no nonoon esa nahuta e doiꞌ mbei. Boe ma ana toꞌu nala nonoon, de mese nggara boten ma bua e nae, ‘Weh! Faiꞌ ia bae huta ma leo!’
29 His fellow-servant fell at his feet, beseeching him, and saying, Be patient of spirit towards me, and I (will) pay thee.
Nonoon rena nala onaꞌ naa ma, ana naloe aon fo sendeꞌ lululanggan de kokoe e nae, ‘Aduu! toronooꞌ, e! Tulun fee fai mbei nema au dei! Dei fo au bae huta ngga.’
30 But he would not, but went and threw him into the house of the chained until he should have rendered him what he owed him.
Te pagawe naa nae, ‘Nda bisa sa! Akaꞌ faiꞌ ia musi bae!’ Basa ma ana nendi nonoon bui rala neu, losa ana bae nabasaꞌ hutan.
31 When their fellow-servants saw what was done, they were greatly grieved, and went and declared to their lord all that was done.
Leleꞌ maneꞌ a pagawe laen nara rita saa fo manadadꞌiꞌ naa, ma rala nara susa. De basa ma reu rafadꞌe neu maneꞌ a.
32 Then his lord summoned him and said to him, Evil servant! all that debt did I forgive thee, because thou didst entreat me.
Maneꞌ a rena nala onaꞌ naa ma, ana noꞌe pagawe naa, de olaꞌ nae, ‘Hee, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ! Huu moꞌe Au kasian nggo, naa de au nggaris hendi basa huta-buku mara.
33 Oughtest thou not to have been as gracious to thy fellow-servant as I was gracious unto thee?
Te taꞌo bee de nda muꞌena kasian neu nonoom sa, onaꞌ au kasian neu nggo ena to?’
34 And his lord was indignant, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should have paid all whatsoever he owed to him.
Maneꞌ a namue, losa ana denu atahori tao e bꞌui rala neu, fo ara poko-paru e, losa ana bae nabasaꞌ huta-buku nara.”
35 Thus will your heavenly Father deal with you unless you forgive each his brother from your heart his trespasses.
Boe ma Yesus nateꞌe dudꞌuit na, ma nafadꞌe nae, “Naa, Au Ama ngga sia sorga boe o ito-reken onaꞌ naa boe. Dei fo Ana hukun nggi, mete ma ama nda liliiꞌ tebꞌe-tebꞌe hendiꞌ hei toronoo atahori mamahere mara sala-kilu nara sa.”
