< Mattiyu 18 >
1 A lokacin nan sai almajirai suka zo wurin Yesu suka yi tambaya suka ce, “Wane ne mafi girma a mulkin sama?”
In that hour the disciples approached Jesus, and said: Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 Sai ya kira ƙaramin yaro ya sa shi yă tsaya a tsakiyarsu.
And Jesus called a child, and placed him in the midst of them,
3 Sai ya ce, “Gaskiya nake gaya muku, in ba kun canja kuka zama kamar ƙananan yara ba, labudda, ba za ku shiga mulkin sama ba.
and said: Verily I say to you, that unless ye be converted, and become like children, ye will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 Saboda haka, duk wanda ya ƙasƙantar da kansa kamar wannan yaro, shi ne mafi girma a mulkin sama.
He therefore that shall humble himself like this child, he will be great in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Duk kuma wanda ya karɓi ƙaramin yaro kamar wannan a cikin sunana ya karɓe ni ne.
And he that shall receive in my name one who is like to this child, he receiveth me.
6 “Amma duk wanda ya sa ɗaya daga cikin ƙananan nan da suka gaskata da ni ya yi zunubi, zai fiye masa a rataya babban dutsen niƙa a wuyarsa, a kuma nutsar da shi a zurfin teku.
And whosoever shall stumble one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were suspended to his neck, and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
7 Kaiton duniya saboda abubuwan da suke sa mutane su yi zunubi! Dole irin waɗannan abubuwa su zo, sai dai kaiton mutumin da ya zama sanadin kawo su!
Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! For it must be, that stumbling blocks come. But, woe to the person by whose means the stumbling blocks come.
8 In hannunka ko ƙafarka yana sa ka zunubi, yanke shi ka yar. Zai fiye maka ka shiga rai da hannu ko ƙafa ɗaya da hannuwa biyu ko ƙafafu biyu da a jefar da kai cikin madawwamiyar wuta da hannuwa biyu ko ƙafafu biyu. (aiōnios )
If then thy hand or thy foot make thee stumble, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is good for thee to enter into life lame or mutilated, and not that, with two hands or two feet, thou fall into eternal fire. (aiōnios )
9 In kuma idonka yana sa ka zunubi, ƙwaƙule shi ka yar. Zai fiye maka ka shiga rai da ido ɗaya, da ka shiga jahannama ta wuta da idanunka biyu. (Geenna )
And if thine eye make thee stumble, pluck it out and cast it from thee: for it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, and not that, with two eyes, thou fall into the hell of fire. (Geenna )
10 “Ku lura, kada ku rena ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan ƙanana. Gama ina faɗa muku mala’ikunsu a sama kullum suna duban fuskar Ubana da yake cikin sama.
See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, That their angels in heaven, at all times, are beholding the face of my Father who is in heaven.
For the Son of man, hath come to give life to that which was lost.
12 “Me kuka gani? In wani yana da tumaki ɗari, sai ɗaya daga cikinsu ta ɓace, ba sai yă bar tasa’in da taran a kan tuddai yă je neman guda ɗayan da ta ɓace ba?
How doth it appear to you? If a man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray, will he not leave the ninety and nine in the mountains, and go and seek the one that strayed?
13 In kuwa ya same ta, ina gaya muku gaskiya, zai yi murna saboda ɗayan fiye da tasa’in da taran da ba su ɓace ba.
And if he find it, verily I say to you, that he rejoiceth in it, more than in the ninety and nine that did not stray.
14 Haka ma Ubanku da yake cikin sama ba ya so ko ɗaya daga cikin ƙananan nan yă ɓace.
Just so, it is not the pleasure of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
15 “In ɗan’uwanka ya yi maka laifi, ka je ka nuna masa laifinsa, tsakaninku biyu kaɗai. In ya saurare ka, ka maido da ɗan’uwanka ke nan.
Moreover, if thy brother commit an offence against thee, go and admonish him between thee and him only. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 Amma in bai saurare ka ba, ka je tare da mutum ɗaya ko biyu, domin ‘a tabbatar da kowace magana a bakin shaidu biyu ko uku.’
But if he hear thee not, take with thee one or two, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 In kuwa ya ƙi yă saurare su, sai ka gaya wa ikkilisiya; in kuma ya ƙi yă saurari ikkilisiya ma, ka yi da shi kamar marar sanin Allah ko mai karɓar haraji.
And if he will also not hear them, tell it to the church. And if he will also not hear the church, let him be to thee as a publican and a heathen.
18 “Gaskiya nake gaya muku, duk abin da kuka daure a duniya, za a daure a sama, duk kuma abin da kuka kunce a duniya, za a kunce shi a sama.
Verily I say to you, That whatever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatever ye shall unbind on earth, shall be unbound in heaven.
19 “Har wa yau, ina gaya muku cewa in mutum biyu a cikinku a duniya suka yarda su roƙi wani abu, Ubana da yake cikin sama zai yi muku.
Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing that they shall ask, it shall be to them from my Father who is in heaven.
20 Gama inda mutum biyu ko uku suka taru cikin sunana, a can ma ina tare da su.”
For where two or three are assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21 Sai Bitrus ya zo wurin Yesu ya yi masa tambaya ya ce, “Ubangiji, sau nawa zan yafe wa ɗan’uwana sa’ad da ya yi mini zunubi? Har sau bakwai?”
Then Cephas approached him, and said to him: My Lord, how many times, if my brother commit offence against me, shall I forgive him? up to seven times?
22 Yesu amsa ya ce, “Ina gaya maka, ba sau bakwai ba, amma sau saba’in da bakwai.
Jesus said to him: I do not say to thee, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
23 “Saboda haka, mulkin sama yana kama da wani sarki wanda ya so yă yi ƙididdigar dukiyarsa da take a hannun bayinsa.
Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like to some king, who wished to have a reckoning with his servants.
24 Da ya fara ƙididdigar, sai aka kawo masa wani wanda yake bin bashin talenti dubu goma.
And when he began to reckon, they brought to him one debtor of ten thousand talents.
25 Da yake bai iya biya ba, sai maigida ya umarta a sayar da shi da matarsa da yaransa da kuma duk abin da yake da shi, a biya bashin.
And as he had not wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, him and his wife and his children, and all that he possessed, and payment to be made.
26 “Bawan ya durƙusa a gabansa. Ya yi roƙo ya ce, ‘Ka yi mini haƙuri, zan biya ka ƙaf.’
And that servant fell down and worshipped him, and said: My lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee the whole.
27 Maigidan bawan ya ji tausayinsa, ya yafe masa bashin, ya kuma sake shi.
And his lord had compassion on that servant, and set him free, and forgave him his debt.
28 “Amma da wannan bawa ya fita, sai ya gamu da wani abokin bautarsa wanda yake binsa bashin dinari ɗari. Sai ya cafke shi, ya shaƙe shi a wuya yana cewa, ‘Biya ni abin da nake binka!’
Then that servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants who owed him a hundred denarii. And he laid hold of him and choked him, and said to him: Pay me what thou owest me.
29 “Wannan abokin bautarsa ya durƙusa ya roƙe shi, ‘Ka yi mini haƙuri, zan biya ka.’
And that fellow-servant fell at his feet and entreated him, and said: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee the whole.
30 “Amma ya ƙi. A maimako, sai ya je ya sa aka jefa shi a kurkuku, har yă biya bashin.
But he would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay him what he owed him.
31 Sa’ad da sauran bayin suka ga abin da ya faru, abin ya ɓata musu rai ƙwarai, sai suka tafi suka faɗa wa maigidansu dukan abin da ya faru.
And when their fellow-servants saw what was done, it grieved them much; and they came and made known to their lord all that had occurred.
32 “Sai maigidan ya kira wannan bawa. Ya ce, ‘Kai mugun bawa, na yafe duk bashin da nake binka domin ka roƙe ni.
Then his lord called him, and said to him: Thou vile servant! Lo, I forgave thee that whole debt, because thou entreatedst of me:
33 Ashe, bai kamata kai ma ka ji tausayin abokin bautarka yadda na yi maka ba?’
oughtest not thou also to have compassion on thy fellow-servant, as I had compassion on thee?
34 Cikin fushi, maigidan ya miƙa shi ga ma’aikatan kurkuku su gwada masa azaba, har yă biya dukan bashin da ake binsa.
And his lord was angry, and delivered him over to the torturers, until he should pay all he owed him.
35 “Haka Ubana da yake cikin sama zai yi da kowannenku, in ba ku yafe wa’yan’uwanku daga zuciyarku ba.”
So will my Father who is in heaven do to you, unless ye from your heart forgive each his brother his offence.
