Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
Acuna k'um üng, axüisaw he a veia law u lü Jesuh üng, “U ja Khankhaw Pea a kyäp säih kawm?” ti lü ami kthäh.
2 Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
Acunüng Jesuh naw hnasenca mat khü lü, ami maa a ngdüihsak.
3 and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, nghlat be u lü hnasena mäiha am nami ve üng Khankhaw Pe am pha hlawt uki.”
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Acunakyase, Khankhaw Pea a kyäp säih vai cun hina hnasenca mäiha a mlung mnemki ni a kyäp säih kawm.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
“Aupi, ka ngming üng je lü hina hnasenca mäih dokhamki cun kei na dokhamki ni.
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
“Cunsepi, kei na jumkia hina hnasen mat, mkhyekat khaia kyukngtängsakia khyang cun a nghngü üng ksum khawp lü lia thuknak tuia xawtin hin a phäha daw bawk khai ni,” a ti.
7 “Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
Jesuh naw, “Khyang he jah mkhyekatsaki khawmdeka da se khawmdeknu hin ihlawka kyühei phyaki ni! Acuna mkhyekatnaka ngkhawe cun aläa thawn khai. Cunüngpi, mkhyekatnak vaia pawhkia khyanga phäh ihlawka kyühei phya khai ni.
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
Na kut am a ni üng na khaw naw a ning mkhyekatsak üng, kyükin lü xawtin kawpi. Na kut khaw küm se angsäia mulaia ning xawtina kdama ta, na kut khaw kaa angsäi xünnaka na ceh hin daw bawki ni. (aiōnios g166)
9 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
Acunkäna na mik naw a ning mkhyekatsak üng, kawihin lü xawtin kawpi. Na mik küm se mulaia ning xawtina kdama ta, na mik mat däng am angdäi xünnaka na ceh hin kyäp bawki ni. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
“Ahina hnasenca he käh jah hmuhmsit ua. Ami khankhawngsä he cun ka pa vei khankhawa awmki he ni, ti ka ning jah mthehki.
11 For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
Isetiüng ta, khyanga Capa hin khyükie jah thawngkhyah khaia lawki ni.
12 “What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
“Ihawkba ni nami ngaih? Khyang mat naw toca aphya a tak üngka mat khyük se i pawh khai ni? A taw kawkip ja kaw jah hawih hüt lü khyükia taw mat sui khaia mcunga cit khai.
13 If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
Acun a hmuh be üng, veki kawkip ja kawa kthaka pi acuna khyüki mat a hmuh bea phäha aktäa jeki.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Acukba kunga, hina hnasenca he üngka matca pi amdanga a khyüh vaia nami pa khana ka naw am hlüei.
15 “If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
Na bena naw a ning mkhyekatnak üng, a veia cet lü a mkhyekatnak nanimäta ksinga a mkhyenak na mtheh vai, na mtheh a ngjak üng na mkhüta kyaki.
16 But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Acunüngpi na mtheh am a ngjak üng, a mkhyekatnak angsingnak ksing khaia khyang nghngih mat bang jah cehpüi lü na ceh vai. Cangcim naw “Mkhyekatnak naküt üng saksiki nghngih kthum ve yah khai” a tia kba na pawh vai.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
Acunüng, acun hea pyen pi am a jah ngaih üng, avana sangcim üng nami sang vai. Akpäihnaka sangcima pyen pi am a ngaihsim üng khyang k'yu ja akhawnkawka nami ngaih vai.
18 Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, khawmdek khana nami mhlät naküt cun khankhawa pi mhläta kya khai, khawmdek khana am nami mhlät naküt cun khankhawa pi mhläta am kya.
19 Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
Ka ning jah mtheh betüki, khawmdek khana aipi nghngih naw atänga ngaisim ni lü nani täsam üng, nani täsam naküt cun ka Pa khankhawa ka naw ning jah pawh pet khai.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
“Ahawia pi, nghngih kthum ka ngming üng ngcun u lü ami ve üng ami ksunga kei ka veki,” a ti.
21 Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
Acunüng, Pita Jesuha veia law lü, “Bawipa aw, ka bena naw a na mkhyekatnak üng ivei ka mhlät vai ni? Khyüh vei aw?” ti se,
22 Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
Jesuh naw, “Khyüh vei am ni, khyühkip ja khyüh vei na mhlät vai,” a ti.
23 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Acunakyase, Khankhaw Pe cun Sangpuxang mat a mpyaea pupawng ngui jah bükteng lawki üng tängki ni.
24 When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Acukba a jah teng law üng ngui tan xa k’hläih lei naki mat cun a veia ami lawpüi.
25 But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Ngui a pu am thung be hlawt se Sangpuxang naw man lü amät mpyaa jawi lü, a khyuca he ja a khawhkhyam naküt pi jah jawisih lü, a lei ami thung vaia a jah mtheh.
26 The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
Acuna mpya cun Sangpuxanga maa a mkhuk am ngdäng lü, “Ka Bawipa aw, na bä ni, na msawkei canga,” avan ka ning thung law be khai ni,” a ti.
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
Sangpuxang naw mpyenei lü hläh be lü a lei naküt avan pi a mhlät.
28 “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
Acunüng, acuna mpya cun cit lü a püi mpyae üngka mat, ngui api a kpu a va hmuh. Man lü “Na pu na thung law bea” ti lü a k'aw üng a kbüh.
29 “So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
A püi mpya naw a mkhuk am ngdäng lü, “Na mpyenei lü, na msawk canga, ka ning thung law be päih khai ni,” ti lü, a nghuinak.
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
Cunsepi, käh mpyenei lü am a thung be khawh vei thawng im üng a khyum.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
Acun cun mpya kce he naw ami hmuh üng aktäa ami mlung na se, Sangpuxang üng acuna mawng cun ami va mtheh u.
32 Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
Acunüng ami Sangpuxang naw khü lü, “Ia am na mawngki nang khyang kse, na nghui naki se na lei naküt ka ning mhlät.
33 Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
Ka ning mhläta mäiha mpyeneinak na püi mpyaa khana pi na tak vai sü.”
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
Sangpuxang thüi lawki naw a mpya cun a lei naküt am a thung be khawh veia thawngim üng a khyum.
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
Acukba bäa, khyang naküt naw nami mlungmthin kcang am nami benaa mkhyekatnak am nami mhlät üng khankhawa kaa Ka Pa naw pi nami mkhyekatnak am ning jah mhlät khai ni,” a ti.
