Matthew 18
1 At that hour came the disciples near to Jesus, saying, 'Who, now, is greater in the reign of the heavens?'
Lanyognu, ke bi ŋɔdkaaba nagni Jesu kani, ki buali o “ŋma n yabi ki cie U Tienu Diema nni?”
2 And Jesus having called near a child, did set him in the midst of them,
Ke Jesu yini ki biñidga o kani, ki seni ga bi siiga, ki yedi, “N maadi yi i mɔni, I yaa lebdi ki tua nani biwaaga yeni, i kan baa ya sanu ke i ba kua U Tienu Diema nni
3 and said, 'Verily I say to you, if ye may not be turned and become as the children, ye may not enter into the reign of the heavens;
4 whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the reign of the heavens.
Lanwani ii, yua n miini o yuli nani ki biwaaga ne, wani n yabi ki cie U Tienu Diema nni.
5 'And he who may receive one such child in my name, doth receive me,
Yua n ga biwaaga nani kine yeni, n yeli po, o ga n ya cangu i.
6 and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged upon his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.
Ama, yua n cedi ke biwaaga yua n dugi n po nani kine yeni, kua tuonbiadi nni, li bi baa tu o po, ke ban loli li naacianli o tulu nni, ki lu o wan mii mi ñincianma nni.
7 'Woe to the world from the stumbling-blocks! for there is a necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but woe to that man through whom the stumbling-block doth come!
Mi yema ya paagi, janjanma ŋanduna po! kelima li buali ke li yogu n pundi, ama, sola li yogu ń ba tɔgni yua ya kani, ki pundi!
8 'And if thy hand or thy foot doth cause thee to stumble, cut them off and cast from thee; it is good for thee to enter into the life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast to the fire the age-during. (aiōnios g166)
A nugu bii a taali ya kuandi a mi tudma nni, ŋan jia ki lu fagma. Li baa tu a po ŋan kua U Tienu diema nni yeni taayenli bii nuuendu ki cei yeni ban lu ŋa ya mu n ki pia gbindma buogu nni yeni taana lie bii nugi lie. (aiōnios g166)
9 'And if thine eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee; it is good for thee one-eyed to enter into the life, rather than having two eyes to be cast to the gehenna of the fire. (Geenna g1067)
A nunbu n ya kuandi a mi tudma nni, ŋan kpigdi bu, ki lu fagma. Kelima li baa tu a po ŋan kua U Tienu Diema nni yeni nunfiagu ki cie ba lu ŋa ya mu n ki pia gbindma buogu nni yeni nuni lie kuli. (Geenna g1067)
10 'Beware! — ye may not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you, that their messengers in the heavens do always behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens,
Fangi mani i yuli, ki da ŋa a bila ne siiga, bá biyenga nunga ń ŋmidi. Kelima n maadi yi i mɔni ke ŋajanli nni, bi malekinba nua N Báa yua nye U Tienu diema nni.
11 for the Son of Man did come to save the lost.
ke lima, O Nilo Bijua cua ki bua faabi yaali n bodi i.
12 'What think ye? if a man may have an hundred sheep, and there may go astray one of them, doth he not — having left the ninety-nine, having gone on the mountains — seek that which is gone astray?
I maalma tie be i? Nilo ya pia yandi yiani, ke yanyenga bodi, o kan ŋa piiyia n yandi yia yaadi n sieni, ki lingi ki yanbodkaaga aa?
13 and if it may come to pass that he doth find it, verily I say to you, that he doth rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray;
O ya la ga, N maadi yi i mɔmɔni, o pali yi mangi li yanga po ki cie piiya n yandi yia yaadi n ki bodi.
14 so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.
Li tie yeni i, I báa yua n ye ŋaljanli nni mo ki bua ke a bbila ne nni, bá biyenga ń bia.
15 'And if thy brother may sin against thee, go and show him his fault between thee and him alone, if he may hear thee, thou didst gain thy brother;
A kpiilo ya biidi a, ŋan gedi ki waani o o biidi, fini yeni wani siiga, a ba maadi ki paadi a kpiilo i.
16 and if he may not hear, take with thee yet one or two, that by the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may stand.
Ama, o ya ki cengi a, ŋan la yendo bii bilie ki pugni a po, ban taani a yeni, kasiedinba bilie bii bitaa siiga, mi maama ba ŋmagdi.
17 'And if he may not hear them, say [it] to the assembly, and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to thee as the heathen man and the tax-gatherer.
O ya yie kaa cengi yi, ŋan gedi yeni li maama li nitaali nni. O ya yie kaa cengi li nitaanli, ŋan ŋa o wan tua a po nani o nilamo bii o lonpogaalo yeni.
18 'Verily I say to you, Whatever things ye may bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever things ye may loose on the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.
I mɔmɔni, N maadi yi, yin ba loli yaali tinga nni, li ba loli Tanpoli, yin ba lodi yaali ting nni, li ba lodi Tanpoli.
19 'Again, I say to you, that, if two of you may agree on the earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask — it shall be done to them from my Father who is in the heavens,
N go maadi yi ke i siiga nni, bilie ya taani jagli ki mia bonli ki tinga nni ne, N Báa yua n ye Tanpoli ba cedi li bonli ń tieni.
20 for where there are two or three gathered together — to my name, there am I in the midst of them.'
Kelima, bilie bii bitaa ya taani naani n yeli po, n baa ye bi siiga.
21 Then Peter having come near to him, said, 'Sir, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him — till seven times?'
Ke Piari nagni ki buali Jesu, “O Diedo, n kpiilo ya biidi nni, n ba mia sugli taalma ŋa i? Hali taalma lele ee?”
22 Jesus saith to him, 'I do not say to thee till seven times, but till seventy times seven.
Ke Jesu jiini o, “N ki yedi taalma lele ka, ama hali piilele taalma lele.
23 'Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants,
Lanwani ii, U Tienu Diema tie nani ya badciamo n den bua tieni li cɔli ki bandi o naacenba ń kubi o piama maama i.
24 and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents,
Wan cili mi diidma, o sua ke naacenyendo kua li panli nni hali ligdibala tuda piiga.
25 and he having nothing to pay, his lord did command him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he had, and payment to be made.
Nani wan den ki pia wan ba tieni maama ki pa yeni, ke canbaa niini ke ban kuadi o wani yeni o pua yeni o bila yeni wai yaali kuli, ki pa o panli.
26 The servant then, having fallen down, was bowing to him, saying, Sir, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;
Ke li naaciemo baá ki gbaani o nintuali, ki mia o sugli, “Canbaa, N bani li panli po, ke N ba pa likuli”
27 and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion did release him, and the debt he forgave him.
Nani li naaciemo canbaa ń bo tie niñinpadi daano yeni, ke o ga o sugli, ki cabi o li panli.
28 'And, that servant having come forth, found one of his fellow-servants who was owing him an hundred denaries, and having laid hold, he took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that which thou owest.
Ama, li naacimo ń ñani ki la o naacenlielo ke o pia o pia o panli kuukobga. Ke o gedi ki cegi o tulu, ki yedi o, “Pa nni n ligi.
29 His fellow-servant then, having fallen down at his feet, was calling on him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;
Ke o naacenlielo baa ki gbaani, ki mia o sugli ki maadi, “Tieni n po juunli, n ba pa ŋa.”
30 and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, till he might pay that which was owing.
Ama, ke o naaciemo yie, ki cuo o naacenlielo ki gedi ki luoni o li kpaadidieli nni, ke o yaa pani o panli, o kan ña.
31 'And his fellow-servants having seen the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, and having come, shewed fully to their lord all the things that were done;
Bi naacenlieba ń la yaali n tieni, ke bi pali sia, ke bi kua ki togdi bi canbaa kaa dɔgni o bápu.
32 then having called him, his lord saith to him, Evil servant! all that debt I did forgive thee, seeing thou didst call upon me,
Ke o naaciemo canbaa yini o, ki yedi o, “N cabi a ŋan pia nni ya panli kuli, kelima a mia nni sugli.
33 did it not behove also thee to have dealt kindly with thy fellow-servant, as I also dealt kindly with thee?
Nani a naacenlielo ń mia ŋa sugli yeni, fini bi kan fidi ki cabi o oo?
34 'And having been wroth, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, till he might pay all that was owing to him;
O canbaa pali den beni o po, ke o cuo o, ki mubni o a jakɔnda nui nni ke bi waani o fala hali ke o pani o panli kuli.
35 so also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.'
N Báa yua n ye Tanpoli mo ba tieni yi yeni, li ya tie ke i siiga nilo pali ki siadi o lielo po.
