Matthew 18
1 Just then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who ranks higher than others in the Kingdom of the Heavens?"
E kindeno jopuonjre nobiro ir Yesu mopenje niya, “En ngʼa maduongʼ moloyo e pinyruodh polo?”
2 So He called a young child to Him, and, bidding him stand in the midst of them,
To noluongo nyathi moro matin mi okete ochungʼ e diergi.
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.
Eka nowacho niya, “Awachonu adier ni ka ok ulokoru ma uchalo gi nyithindo matindo, to ok ubi donjo e pinyruodh polo ngangʼ.
4 Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this young child, he it is who is superior to others in the Kingdom of the Heavens.
Emomiyo ngʼato angʼata mobolore kaka nyathini e ngʼat maduongʼ moloyo e pinyruodh polo.
5 And whoever for my sake receives one young child such as this, receives me.
Kendo ngʼato angʼata morwako nyathi machal kama e nyinga to an ema orwaka.
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.
“To ka ngʼato omiyo achiel kuom jomatindo moyie kuomagi odonjo e richo to dibed maber ka otwene pongʼ marangʼongo e ngʼute bangʼe onyumego e chuny nam.
7 "Alas for the world because of causes of falling! They cannot but come, but alas for each man through whom they come!
“Piny none malit nikech gik mamiyo ji donjo e richo! Ochuno ni gik makamagi nyaka bedie, to okwongʼ ngʼatno makelo gigo!
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)
Ka lweti kata tiendi miyo idonjo e richo to ngʼade oko kendo iwite mabor. Ber moloyo kidonjo e ngima ka ionge lweti kata kingʼol moloyo bedo gi lwetegi ariyo kata tiendeni ariyo to owiti e mach manyaka chiengʼ. (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)
Kamano bende ka wangʼi miyo itimo richo to lodhe oko kendo iwite mabor. Ber moloyo kidonjo e ngima gi wangʼ achiel kar bedo gi wenge ariyo to owiti e mach mar Gehena. (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.
“Neuru ni ok uchayo achiel kuom jomatindogi. Nimar anyisou ni malaikegi manie polo osiko ka ngʼiyo wangʼ Wuora manie polo. [
Nikech Wuod Dhano osebiro mondo owar joma olal.]
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?
“Uparo nade? Ka ngʼato nigi rombe mia achiel, to achiel kuomgi olal, donge ngʼatno diwe piero ochiko gochikogo mi odhi omany achiel molalno?
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.
To awachonu adier ni ka oyude to obedo mamor kuom rombo achielno, moloyo kuom piero ochiko gochiko mane ok olal.
14 Just so it is not the will of your Father in Heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.
Machalre gi mano, wuonu manie polo ok dwar ni kata achiel kuom jomatindogi olal.
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.
“Ka owadu ochwanyi to dhi kendo inyise kethone, mana e kindu kode ji ariyo. Ka ochikoni ite mowinjo to mano iseloso kindi gi owaduno.
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.
To ka otamore winji to kaw ngʼato achiel kata ji ariyo idhi iwuogo kode, mondo, wach moro mantie e kind ji nyaka ngʼere malongʼo ka nitiere joneno ariyo kata adek.
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.
Kodagi winjogi, to nyis kanisa wachno; to kodagi winjo nyaka kanisa, to kawe kaka dikaw ngʼat ma japiny kata jasol osuru.
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.
“Awachonu adier ni gimoro amora mutweyo e piny-ka notwe e polo bende, kendo gimoro amora mugonyo e piny-ka nogony e polo bende.
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.
“Awachonu bende ni ka ji ariyo kuomu e piny-ka owinjore kuom gimoro amora mukwayo to Wuora manie polo notimnugo.
20 For where there are two or three assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
Nimar kama ji ariyo kata adek ochokoree e nyinga to an kodgi kanyo.”
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?"
Eka Petro nobiro ir Yesu mopenje niya, “Ruoth, owinjore awe ne owadwa ndalo adi kokethona? Nyaka ndalo abiriyo koso?”
22 "I do not say seven times," answered Jesus, "but seventy times seven times.
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Awachoni ni ok nyadibiriyo to nyadi piero abiriyo nyadibiriyo.
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.
“Mano emomiyo pinyruodh polo chal gi ruoth mane dwaro nono kaka jotichne osetiyo gi pesane.
24 But as soon as he began the settlement, one was brought before him who owed 10,000 talents,
Kane ochako timo nonrono, ngʼat moro mane nigi gope moromo silingʼ tara gi tara ne okel e nyime.
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.
To kaka ne ok onyal chulo gopeno, ruodhe nogolo chik mondo en kaachiel gi chiege gi nyithinde, kod gik moko duto mane en-go ousi mondo ochul gowino.
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.'
“To jatijno nogoyo chonge piny e nyime, moywagorene ni, ‘Yie ihorina mos, abiro chuli gopino duto.’
27 "Whereupon his master, touched with compassion, set him free and forgave him the debt.
Ruodh jatijno nokeche mi owene gopeno kendo ogonye odhi.
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.'
“To bangʼ ka jatijno nosedhi, noyudo achiel kuom jotich wetene mane nigi gope moromo dinari mia achiel. Nomake matek mochako deye, kowachone ni, ‘Chula gopa ma in-go sani!’
29 "His fellow servant therefore fell at his feet and entreated him, "'Only give me time,' he said, 'and I will pay you.'
“Jatich wadgino nogoyo chonge piny e nyime moywagorene ni, ‘Yie itimna ngʼwono, abiro chuli gopi.’
30 "He would not, however, but went and threw him into prison until he should pay what was due.
“To nodagi. Kar timo kamano to noa kanyo mi oloso wach mondo orwak ngʼatno e od twech nyaka chop ochul gowino.
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.
Kane jotich mamoko oneno gima notimoreno, chunygi nodoko malit ahinya kendo negidhi mi ginyiso ruodhgi gik moko duto mane osetimore.
32 At once his master called him and said, "'Wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you entreated me:
“Eka ruodhno noluongo jatichneno ire, mowachone ni, ‘An ne aweni gopa mane in-go duto nikech ne iywagorina mondo atim kamano.
33 ought not you also to have had pity on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?'
Angʼo momiyo in to ne itamori kecho jatich wadu kaka an bende ne akonyi?’
34 "So his master, greatly incensed, handed him over to the jailers until he should pay all he owed him.
Ruodhe ne mirima omako kode mi nochiwe e lwet jo-jela mondo orodhe maonge kech, nyaka chop ochul gowi duto mane en-go.
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."
“Kamano e kaka Wuora manie polo biro timo ne ngʼato ka ngʼato ka ok oweyo ne nyawadgi gie chunye.”
