Matthew 18
1 In that same time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
Tua hun laitak in a nungzui te Jesus kungah hongpai a, vantung kumpingam sung ah a kua lianbel tu ziam? ci in dong hi.
2 Jesus called to himself a little child, set him among them,
Jesus in patangno khat a kung ah sam in, amate laizang ah koi a,
3 and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will in no way enter the kingdom of heaven.
A tatak in kong ci ciang, kikheal in patangno te bang na hi bua uh le, vantung ngam sung ah na tum thei batu uh hi.
4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Tua ahikom a kuamapo hi patangno bang in ama le ama a ki niamkhiak te, vantung kumpingam sung ah a lianbel hi tu hi.
5 Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name receives me.
A kuamapo keima min taw tabang patangno khat a sang sia in keima hong sang a hihi.
6 But whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in me to sin, it would be better for him that a great millstone should be hung about his neck, and that he should be sunk into the depths of the sea.
Mihing khatpo in keima hong um hi patangno khat a siatsua peuma, a ngawng ah an ngoaina suangtum khai in, tuipi thuk sung ah khia leang ama atu in phazawlai hi.
7 Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! For it is necessary that those stumbling blocks come, but woe to the person through whom those stumbling blocks come!
Mihing te upna a lalsak thei nate om ahikom, hileitung mite mailam bing hi! Tabang te sia hong piang tawntung tu hi, ahihang tabang a piangsak te atu in, a mailam bing hi!
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or lame than to be thrown into the eternal fire having two hands or two feet. (aiōnios g166)
Tua ahikom na khut a hibale na peang in hong khialsak le, tan in: khut lang ni, a hibale peang ni nei in tawntung mei sung ah khiak thuak tu sang in, pumpi cing ngawl in nuntakna sung ah tum tu phazaw hi. (aiōnios g166)
9 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye than to be thrown into the eternal fire having both eyes. (Geenna g1067)
Taciang na mit in hong khialsak le, khel in a, vawk in: mit ni taw hell sung ah khiak suk thuak sang in, mit langkhat taw nuntakna sung ah tum tu phazaw hi. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you do not despise any of these little ones. For I say to you that in heaven their angels always look on the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Patangno te sung pan khatpo zawnsak vawt thak ngawl tu in kidawm in; banghangziam cile, amate vantungmi te in vantung Ka Pa mai en tawntung uh hi, ci in kong son hi.
Banghangziam cile mihing Tapa sia, a bote ngum tu in hongpai a hihi.
12 What do you think? If anyone has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and go off seeking the one that went astray?
Bangbang in na ngaisun uh ziam? mihing khat in tuu zakhat nei a, khat sia lampial in bo bang hile, sawm kua le kua te nu sia in mual tung theampo ah pai in, a bo tuu sia zong tu hi ngawl ziam?
13 If he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
Mu kik a hile, a man tatak kong ci ciang, a bo ngawl tuu sawm kua le kua te sang in, tua a bo tuu khat tung ah lungdam zaw hi.
14 In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Tabang ma in vantung a om na Pa in, hibang patangno khat a siat tu oai ngawl hi.
15 If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you will have gained your brother.
Bek tham ngawl in, na suapuipa in na tung ah hong khial a hile, va pai tan a, na ki laklaw ah a khial na a ma bek taw kikum vun: na thu hong ngai a hile, na suapuipa na nga kik zo hi.
16 But if he does not listen to you, take one or two others along with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word might be verified.
Ahihang na thu hong ngai bua a hile, mihing a dang khat, a hibale, ni zuisak in a, taciang tetti ni le thum kam pan a pau nate taw ki kipsak tu hi.
17 And if he refuses to listen to them, tell the matter to the church. If he also refuses to listen to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
Taciang ama in hong ngai ngawl in na thu hong ni bale, pawlpi tung ah son in: ahihang pawlpi thu zong ngai ngawl in a ni nuam tuan ba lai le, Pathian he ngawl te le shiadong te bang in koi lel vun.
18 Truly I say to you, whatever things you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven.
A tatak in kong ci ciang, leitung ah na hen uh te vantung ah zong ki hen tu hi: taciang leitung ah na tha uh te, vantung ah zong ki tha tu hi.
19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
Khatvei kong son kik hi, leitung ah mihing ni a nget tu thu taw kisai thu akisi le van a om Ka Pa in vawtsak tu hi.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”
Banghangziam cile ka min taw ni le thum na ki kaikhop uh ciang, note lai ah keima ka om hi, ci hi.
21 Then Peter came and said to Jesus, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
Jesus kungah Peter hongpai a, Topa awng, ka tung ah hong khial ka suapuipa bangza vei dong maisak tu khi ziam? sali vei dong ziam? ci in dong hi.
22 Jesus said to him, “I do not tell you seven times, but until seventy times seven.
Jesus in, Sali vei dong hong ci ngawl khi hi: ahihang sawm sali vei a se sali dong maisak tu ni hi.
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is similar to a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Tua ahikom vantung kumpingam sia, a naseam te sazian a sittel kumpipa taw kibang hi.
24 As he began the settling, one servant was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Tabang in a sittel ciang in, talent tul sawm a ba mi khat a kung ah hong ki puak hi.
25 But since he had not the means to repay, his master commanded him to be sold, together with his wife and children and everything that he had, and payment to be made.
Ahihang piak tu a nei ngawl hu in, a topa in, a zi le a ta, a neisa theampo zuak in, piasak tu in thupia hi.
26 So the servant fell down, bowed down before him, and said, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.'
Naseampa bok in bia a, topa, hong ngak lai tan, a vekpi in hong lo tu khi hi, ci hi.
27 So the master of that servant, since he was moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
Tasiaciang in kumpipa in a naseampa khuangai huai sa a, a bat theampo maisak in ciasak hi.
28 But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii. He grasped him, took him by the throat, and said, 'Pay me what you owe.'
Hi kamale tua naseampa sia pai in, ama tung ah zakhat a ba a nasep khoppui khat taw a ki sik ciang, a tawlsan in, na leiba hong lo tan, ci hi.
29 But his fellow servant fell down and implored him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you.'
Tasiaciang a naseppui pa sia a peang nuai ah bok in, hong ngak hi lai po tan, a vekpi in kong lo tu hi, ci in thum hi.
30 But the first servant refused. Instead, he went and threw him into prison until he should pay him what he owed.
Ahizong maisak nuam ngawl hi: a leiba a lo siat dong thong sung ah khum hi.
31 When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were very upset. They came and told their master everything that had happened.
A naseppui te in a mu uh ciang in, a thin uh nuam ngawl a, a vawt na theampo a topa kung ah pai in son tek uh hi.
32 Then that servant's master called him, and said to him, 'You wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt because you implored me.
Tua zawkciang a topa in ama sam a, maw nang naseam tatsia, nong thum bang in na leiba theampo hong maisak khi hi:
33 Should you not have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
Nang tung ah hesuakna ka nei bang in, nang zong na naseppui te tung ah hesuakna na nei tu kilawm hi ngawl ziam? ci hi.
34 His master was angry and handed him over to the torturers until he would pay all that was owed.
Kumpipa a thin-uk a, a leiba a lo siat mateng thong cingpa kung ah ap hi.
35 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
Tasia bangma in a kuamapo na suapuipa i sepkhial nate na thinsung uh pan na maisak bua uh le, vantung a om Ka Pa in note zong hong maisak ngawl tu hi, ci hi.
