Matthew 18
1 In that same time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
Lanyogunu bi hoadikaaba den naigini Jesu kani ki buali o: Tanpoli diema nni hme n baa tugi li yuli?
2 Jesus called to himself a little child, set him among them,
Jesu den yini ki biwaaga ki sieni o bi siiga ki yedi:
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.
N waani yi i moamoani, yi yaa lebidi ki tua nani a biwaala yeni yi kan kua tanpoli diema nni.
4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Yua n miini o yuli ki tua nani ya biwaaga n tie na kuli, wani n baa tugi li yuli tanpoli diema nni.
5 Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name receives me.
Yua n ga ki biwaaga nani one cangu kuli n yeli nni, ga mini yaa cangoe.
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.
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 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!
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 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)
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 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)
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 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.
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 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?
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 If he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not go 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 In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Li tie yeni leni yi Baa yua n ye tanpoli, waa bua ke a bonwaala na siiga baa yendo n yaadi.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”
Kelima niba lie bi niba taa yaa taani n yeli nni, n ye bi siiga.
21 Then Peter came and said to Jesus, “Lord, how often will 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 said to him, “I do not tell you 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 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is similar to a certain king who wanted to settle accounts 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 As he began the settling, one servant was brought to him who owed him ten 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 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.
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 So the servant fell down, bowed down before him, and said, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.'
O naacemo den gbaani o nintuali ki yedi: Canba, juuni npo n baa pa ha likuli.
27 So the master of that servant, since he was moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
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 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.'
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 But his fellow servant fell down and implored him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you.'
O lielo yedi den gbaani o taana kani ki mia o sugili ki yedi: Juuni npo, n baa pa ha.
30 But the first servant refused. Instead, he went and threw him into prison until he should pay him what he owed.
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 When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were very upset. They came and told their master everything that had happened.
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 that servant's master called him, and said to him, 'You wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt because you implored 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 Should you not have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
Laa pundi ke fini mo n gbadi o lielo po mi nihima nani min gbadi apo maama yeni?
34 His master was angry and handed him over to the torturers until he would pay all that was owed.
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 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
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.
