Matio 18
1 Lanyogunu bi hoadikaaba den naigini Jesu kani ki buali o: Tanpoli diema nni hme n baa tugi li yuli?
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greater in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 Jesu den yini ki biwaaga ki sieni o bi siiga ki yedi:
So Jesus called over a little child, placed him among them,
3 N waani yi i moamoani, yi yaa lebidi ki tua nani a biwaala yeni yi kan kua tanpoli diema nni.
and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 Yua n miini o yuli ki tua nani ya biwaaga n tie na kuli, wani n baa tugi li yuli tanpoli diema nni.
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Yua n ga ki biwaaga nani one cangu kuli n yeli nni, ga mini yaa cangoe.
And whoever receives one little child such as this in my name receives me.
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.
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths 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 stumbling blocks! It is necessary that stumbling blocks come, yet woe to that man through whom the stumbling block 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 yoʋr hand or yoʋr foot causes yoʋ to stumble, cut them off and throw them away from yoʋ. It is better for yoʋ to enter life lame or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire. (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 yoʋr eye causes yoʋ to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from yoʋ. It is better for yoʋ to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fires of hell. (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.
“Be careful not to despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of my Father in heaven.
11 Kelima o Joa Bijua cua ki baa faabi yaaba n yaadi.
For the Son of Man came to save the lost.
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 do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the other ninety-nine and go seek on the mountains the one that has gone 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 happens to find it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that have 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.
In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
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 yoʋr brother sins against yoʋ, go show him his fault between yoʋ and him alone. If he listens to yoʋ, yoʋ have gained yoʋr brother.
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.
But if he does not listen, take one or two others with yoʋ, so that every matter may be established by the mouth of two or three witnesses.
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 he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a 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.
Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in 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, truly I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.
20 Kelima niba lie bi niba taa yaa taani n yeli nni, n ye bi siiga.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among 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 Peter came to Jesus and said, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother when he keeps sinning against me? 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.
Jesus said to him, “Not, I tell yoʋ, 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.
“For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
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.
As he began to settle accounts, one servant who had a debt of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
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.
But since he did not have anything with which to repay the debt, his master commanded him to be sold along with his wife, his children, and all that he had, so that the debt could be repaid.
26 O naacemo den gbaani o nintuali ki yedi: Canba, juuni npo n baa pa ha likuli.
So the servant fell down and bowed before him, saying, ‘Master, be patient with me, and I will repay yoʋ all that I owe.’
27 Mi nihima den cuo o canba laa naacemo po ke o puni o sugili o panli kuli po ki cedi wan gedi.
Moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.
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.
But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Repay me what yoʋ owe.’
29 O lielo yedi den gbaani o taana kani ki mia o sugili ki yedi: Juuni npo, n baa pa ha.
So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay yoʋ.’
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 he was not willing to do so. Instead, he went and threw him into prison until he should repay what was 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.
When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed and went and reported to their master all that had happened.
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 the master summoned the servant and said to him, ‘Yoʋ evil servant! I forgave yoʋ all that debt because yoʋ begged me to do so.
33 Laa pundi ke fini mo n gbadi o lielo po mi nihima nani min gbadi apo maama yeni?
Should yoʋ not also have had mercy on yoʋr fellow servant, even as I had mercy on yoʋ?’
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 in anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured until he should repay all that was owed him.
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.
My heavenly Father will also do the same to you if each one of you, from your hearts, does not forgive his brother for his trespasses.”
