Matio 18

1 Lanyogunu bi hoadikaaba den naigini Jesu kani ki buali o: Tanpoli diema nni hme n baa tugi li yuli?

In that [very] hour came the disciples to Jesus saying; Who then [the] greatest is in the kingdom of the heavens?

2 Jesu den yini ki biwaaga ki sieni o bi siiga ki yedi:

And having called to [Him] (Jesus *k*) a child He set it in midst of them

3 N waani yi i moamoani, yi yaa lebidi ki tua nani a biwaala yeni yi kan kua tanpoli diema nni.

and said; Amen I say to you; only unless you may turn and may become as the little children, certainly not shall you enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

4 Yua n miini o yuli ki tua nani ya biwaaga n tie na kuli, wani n baa tugi li yuli tanpoli diema nni.

Whoever therefore (will humble *N(k)O*) himself as little child this, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.

5 Yua n ga ki biwaaga nani one cangu kuli n yeli nni, ga mini yaa cangoe.

And who[ever] (if *NK(o)*) shall receive one little child (such *N(k)O*) in the name of Me, Me myself receives.

6 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.

Who[ever] then maybe may cause to stumble one of the little ones of these who are believing in Me myself, it is better for him that may be hung a millstone heavy (around *N(k)(o)*) the neck of him, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.

7 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.

Woe to the world because of the causes of sin; Necessary [are] for (is *ko*) to come the stumbling blocks, but woe to the man (that [one] *k*) through whom the offense comes!

8 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)

If now the hand of you or the foot of you causes to sin you, do cut off (it *N(K)O*) and do cast [it] from you; better for you it is to enter into life crippled or lame than two hands or two feet having to be cast into the fire eternal. (aiōnios g166)

9 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)

And if the eye of you causes to sin you, do gouge out it and do cast [it] from you; better for you it is one-eyed into life to enter than two eyes having to be cast into the hell of the fire. (Geenna g1067)

10 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.

do see [that] not may you despise one of the little ones of these; I say for to you that the angels of them in [the] heavens through all [times] behold the face of the Father of mine who [is] in [the] heavens.

11 Kelima o Joa Bijua cua ki baa faabi yaaba n yaadi.

(came *KO*) (for son of man to save those already perishing. *K*)

12 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?

What you do think? If may happen a certain man [has] a hundred sheep and shall have gone astray one of them, surely (he will leave *N(k)O*) the ninety nine on the mountains, (and *no*) having gone will seek the [one] going astray?

13 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.

And if he may happen to find it, Amen I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety nine which not gone astray.

14 Li tie yeni leni yi Baa yua n ye tanpoli, waa bua ke a bonwaala na siiga baa yendo n yaadi.

Thus not it is [the] will of the Father (of you *NK(O)*) who [is] in [the] heavens that may perish (one *N(k)O*) of the little ones of these.

15 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.

If now shall sin against you the brother of you, do go (and *k*) do reprove him between you and him alone. If you he shall hear, you have gained the brother of you.

16 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.

only however unless he shall hear, do take with you more one or two that upon [the] testimony of two witnesses or of three may be strengthened every declaration.

17 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.

If now he shall fail to listen to them, do tell [it] to the church. If now also to the church he shall fail to listen, he should be to you as the pagan and the tax collector.

18 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.

Amen I say to you; as much as (if *NK(o)*) you shall bind on the earth, will have been bound in (*ko*) heaven; and as much as if you shall loose on the earth, will have been loosed in (*ko*) heaven.

19 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.

Again (Amen *NO*) I say to you that if two shall agree (of *no*) you on the earth concerning any matter that if they shall ask, it will be done for them by the Father of Mine who [is] in [the] heavens.

20 Kelima niba lie bi niba taa yaa taani n yeli nni, n ye bi siiga.

Where for are two or three assembled unto My name, there am I in [the] midst of them.

21 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?

Then having come Peter said to Him; Lord, how often will sin against me myself the brother of mine and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?

22 Jesu den goa ki yedi o: Mii yedi a hali taalima lele ka, ama n yedi a piilele hali taalima lele.

Says to him Jesus; Not I say to you up to seven times but up to seventy times seven!

23 Kelima tanpoli diema tie nani ya bado n den bua o naacenba n waani o ban kubi opo ya ligi maama fuuli.

Because of this has become like the kingdom of the heavens to a man a king who desired to settle accounts with the servants of him.

24 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.

When was beginning then he to settle (was brought to *NK(o)*) to him one a debtor of ten thousand talents.

25 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.

[When] not is having [anything] now he to pay he commanded him the master (of him *k*) to be sold and the wife (of him *ko*) and the children and all as much as (he has *N(k)O*) and payment to be made.

26 O naacemo den gbaani o nintuali ki yedi: Canba, juuni npo n baa pa ha likuli.

Having fallen down therefore the servant was bowing on his knees to him saying; (lord *ko*) do have patience with (me myself, *NK(o)*) and all I will pay to you.

27 Mi nihima den cuo o canba laa naacemo po ke o puni o sugili o panli kuli po ki cedi wan gedi.

Having been moved with compassion now the master of the servant, that [one] released him and the debt forgave him.

28 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.

Having gone out however the servant same found one of the fellow servants of him who was owing to him a hundred denarii, and having seized him he was throttling [him] saying; do pay (to me *k*) (if *N(k)O*) any you owe.’

29 O lielo yedi den gbaani o taana kani ki mia o sugili ki yedi: Juuni npo, n baa pa ha.

Having fallen down therefore the fellow servant of him (into the feet of him *K*) was begging him saying; do have patience with (me myself, *NK(o)*) and (all things *K*) I will pay you.

30 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.

But not he was willing, but having gone he cast him into prison until (what of him *ko*) he may pay that which is being owed.

31 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.

Having seen (therefore *N(k)O*) the fellow servants of him the [things] having taken place they were grieved deeply, and having gone they narrated to the master (of themselves *N(k)O*) all that having taken place.

32 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.

Then having called to him the master of him says to him; Servant evil, all the debt, that [one] I forgave you because you begged me.

33 Laa pundi ke fini mo n gbadi o lielo po mi nihima nani min gbadi apo maama yeni?

Surely it was necessary also you to have pitied the fellow servant of you as also I myself also I myself you pitied?

34 O canba pali den beni boncianla. O den teni o li kadidieli jiidikaaba ban faligi o hali wan pa o panli kuli ki gbeni.

And having been angry the master of him delivered him to the jailers until that he may pay all which is being owed (to him. *ko*)

35 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.

Thus also the Father of Mine (heavenly *N(k)O*) will do to you only unless you may forgive each the brother of him from the heart of you (the trespasses of them. *K*)
