Matthew 18
1 Just then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who ranks higher than others in the Kingdom of the Heavens?"
Ni nton kima mrli koh ba baye ni Yesu nda tre, “Ahi nha mba nna wawuu ni mulki shulu?”
2 So He called a young child to Him, and, bidding him stand in the midst of them,
Yesu ayo vi kapran vren ri ye zi ni mba.
3 said, "In solemn truth I tell you that unless you turn and become like little children, you will in no case be admitted into the Kingdom of the Heavens.
Nda tre, “Njanjimu mi hla yiwu bi tie na katie to kpran mrli na, bi tie bre ri mulki shulu.
4 Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this young child, he it is who is superior to others in the Kingdom of the Heavens.
Nawa, i waa aka tu ma grji to kpran vrenyi a ahi wawuyi nna wawuu ni mulki shulu.
5 And whoever for my sake receives one young child such as this, receives me.
Iwa a kpa kpran vren to wayi a nimi nde mu, a kpa me.
6 But whoever shall occasion the fall of one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for him to have a millstone hung round his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
U i wa ayo ri nimikpran mrli bayi wa ba nyme ni me a ndu joku a ndi na bi zan niwu ndu ba bhan tita nra lo ka klo niwu ni to denyo ni mi honlon nne.
7 "Alas for the world because of causes of falling! They cannot but come, but alas for each man through whom they come!
Iya ngbungblu yi ni tu inton wu k'bu za! ahi gbigbi ndu tita bi kbu za ba ndu ba ye iya ndi kima wa ani ndu tita biki ye rji ni wua!
8 If your hand or your foot is causing you to fall into sin, cut it off and away with it. It is better for you to enter into Life crippled in hand or foot than to remain in possession of two sound hands or feet but be thrown into the fire of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
U iwo me ka iza me nita ndu ni joku gyen u ka taga. A bi zan ndu ri ni koh Rji ni kpunkpu za kani kpunkpu wo niwa u ri ni mi lu ni wo me harli kani za me harli. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if your eye is causing you to fall into sin, tear it out and away with it; it is better for you to enter into Life with only one eye, than to remain in possession of two eyes but be thrown into the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
U shishi me nita yo ndu joku kirewu cu taga abi zan ndu ri nimi koh Rji ni shishi ri niwa u ri ni mi lu ni shishi ba hamba wu. (Geenna g1067)
10 "Beware of ever despising one of these little ones, for I tell you that in Heaven their angels have continual access to my Father who is in Heaven.
Na ti bre renyu ni ri ni mi mrli bayi na. Mi hla yiwu maleku mba ba si ya shishi tiemu wa ahe ni shulua.
E ivren ndi aye bubu kpa kpye wa akado a cuwo.
12 What do you yourselves think? Suppose a man gets a hundred sheep and one of them strays away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go and look for the one that is straying?
Bi tamre ni he? U indi ri nita he ni ntma darli ri, u ri ni mi mba zren hi kado ana ka mbru se tia don tia zi ni nei ngblu na hi wa iri ma wa aka doa na?
13 And if he succeeds in finding it, in solemn truth I tell you that he rejoices over it more than he does over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.
Wani ta towu, njanjimu mi hla ni yiwu ani ngyri ni tu riri kima zan imbru setia don tiawa bana kado naa.
14 Just so it is not the will of your Father in Heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.
Ni nkon kima me, itie mbi ni shulu na son ndu iri nimi kpran mrli bayi yra tu na.
15 "If your brother acts wrongly towards you, go and point out his fault to him when only you and he are there. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.
U vayi me nita latre niwu uka hi fe wu ni kankrji ma ndi mla tie biyi hambi wu. Ani ta wowu, ka wu nji vayi me kimaye.
16 But if he will not listen to you, go again, and ask one or two to go with you, that every word spoken may be attested by two or three witnesses.
U ani tana wowu na, nji ndi ri ka iha ndu ba huhi ni ndu inyu indi ha ka tra tre nda hla ikpye wa ba toa.
17 If he refuses to hear them, appeal to the Church; and if he refuses to hear even the Church, regard him just as you regard a Gentile or a tax-gatherer.
Wa nita kama ni mba hla trea ni coci. Wani ta la kama ni wo coci a, cuwo ndu he na indi wa ana toh Rji a na ni na bi kpa bhan.
18 I solemnly tell you that whatever you as a Church bind on earth will in Heaven be held as bound, and whatever you loose on earth will in Heaven be held to be loosed.
Njanjimu mi hla yiwu, ikpye wa bi lo ni ngbungblu a ba lowu ni shulu, u ikpye wa bi si u ni ngbungblua, ani si ni shulu.
19 I also solemnly tell you that if two of you here on earth agree together concerning anything whatever that they shall ask, the boon will come to them from my Father who is in Heaven.
Ngarli mi hla yiwu, biyi ndi harli ni ngbu ngblu bita kpanyme ni tu kpyeri wa bi myea itie mu wa ahe ni shulua ni tie ni bawu.
20 For where there are two or three assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
Bubu wa indi ha ka tra ba shubi nimi nde mu mi he ni mba”.
21 At this point Peter came to Him with the question, "Master, how often shall my brother act wrongly towards me and I forgive him? seven times?"
Bitru aye nda ye tre ni Yesu, “Baci vayimu ni tie latre ni mu mla inkpu bren rli mika wruhle niwu? Tona mla ikpu tangban?”
22 "I do not say seven times," answered Jesus, "but seventy times seven times.
Yesu a saa nda hla wu, “Mina hla niwu ndi inkpu tangban na, ndu tangban tie nkpu se tangban.
23 "For this reason the Kingdom of the Heavens may be compared to a king who determined to have a settlement of accounts with his servants.
To kima me mulki shulu he to ichu ri wa a son bla ikpi ma niwo granma ba.
24 But as soon as he began the settlement, one was brought before him who owed 10,000 talents,
Asi bla rji nigranma u mumla wa ata hu talent dubu setra.
25 and was unable to pay. So his master ordered that he and his wife and children and everything that he had should be sold, and payment be made.
Ana ye ni nkon u hanwu na u tie koh ma ka yo ba' ndu ba' vuu ni wama u mrli ma na ikpyi ma wawuu le nda han.
26 The servant therefore falling down, prostrated himself at his feet and entreated him. "'Only give me time,' he said, 'and I will pay you the whole.'
U granma ka kujoku ni meme nda kukhwu nda tre, 'Tie koh mu, vu gble ni mu, mi hanwu wawuu'.
27 "Whereupon his master, touched with compassion, set him free and forgave him the debt.
A lo tiekoh gran kima sron wa ka cuu cuwo nda wru ihla hle ni wu.
28 But no sooner had that servant gone out, than he met with one of his fellow servants who owed him 100 shillings; and seizing him by the throat and nearly strangling him he exclaimed, "'Pay me all you owe.'
U gran kima a rju nda ka to gran ri ikpan u ndu ma wa ata hu hla dinari se wlon. A krjuu vu nda mawu toh nda tre han me hla wa mi hua.
29 "His fellow servant therefore fell at his feet and entreated him, "'Only give me time,' he said, 'and I will pay you.'
U ikpan ndu ma igran a brewu vu gble nimu mi hanwu ikpye wa mi kpaa wawuu?
30 "He would not, however, but went and threw him into prison until he should pay what was due.
U gran u mumla ka kama. A tie sron nda nji wu ka tro zi inton wa ani hanwua.
31 His fellow servants, therefore, seeing what had happened, were exceedingly angry; and they came and told their master without reserve all that had happened.
Wa imbru gran barima ba toh kpye a towa isron mba ka tie meme. Bahi ka hla tre a wawuu ni tiekoh mba.
32 At once his master called him and said, "'Wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you entreated me:
U tiekoh gran mua ka yowu nda tre, “Iwu meme gran” mi wru hla me hle niwu wawuu ni tu wa u bre me a.
33 ought not you also to have had pity on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?'
Iwu una wruhle ni nkpan ndu me nawa mi wruhle ni wu ana?
34 "So his master, greatly incensed, handed him over to the jailers until he should pay all he owed him.
Tiekoh ma a tie nfu ni wu nda kawu nno bi tie ndi ya ni ndu han hla wawuu rli baka cuu cuwo.
35 "In the same way my Heavenly Father will deal with you, if you do not all of you forgive one another from your hearts."
A nakima itie mu wa ahe ni shulu a ni tie ni yiwu bi wa bata na wruhle ni mrli vayi mba rji ni mi drii na.
