Matai 18

1 Unsiekhe ghula avankonghi vakhincha khwa Yesu valikhumbula, “Vie veni uvavile imbaha kuludeva ulwa khukyanya?”

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 Pwu akhamwilangha umwa undhebe akhambiekha paghati pa vene,

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

3 akhanchova, “Mwiedhikhaghe nikhuvavula, munghalekhe ukhunchilekha imbivi nukhuva ndavana avadhebe, samulienghila khuludheva ulwa Nguluve khukyanya.

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Uvieikhieyisya mwene ndumwa udhebe, uywa veiva iembaha khu ludheva ulwa khukyanya.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 Nu vei ikhumwuphielila umwana undhebe khulitawa eilyangho iva ikhumokhela une.

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

6 Hanghe yuywa iekhunjancha umwana undhebe yumo avikhunyiedhiekha, pwu lwiva lunonu umunu uywa ukhunkungha musingho eiliwe eilivaha elya khuhevelela, nu khunchikhuntagha mughati munyanja.

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Ole khuva nkhilungha khumbombo incha khuyancha! Ulwa khuva nchilincha inongwa inchakhuyancha, ole khumunu uveighegha imbombo incha khuyancha!

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

8 Enghave eikhievokho kyakho fikhukhu yancha, ughiedhe utaghe khuvutali nuve. Pwu lwiva lunonu khulyuve ukwinghile khuludeva ulwa khukyanya vukhipungwikhe eikhivokho apanghe eikhilundhe. Hanghe unghave na mavokho ghavieli na malunde ghavieli utaghiwe mumwoto ghugwa saghulasila lusikhu. (aiōnios g166)

Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)

9 Nie liho lyakho lieghukhuyanche, uliehenche, ukhalietaghe pavutali nuve. Hoba ukwinghile khuludheva nie liho leimo eililola, nukwienghila na miho ghavile, nukhitaghiwa mu mumbuhighi uwa mwoto. (Geenna g1067)

And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)

10 Mlolaghe mulavabeolagha udhebe yumo va ava. Niekhuvavula avasukhwa vavo avakhukyanya amanchuva ghoni vielola phamiho pha Dada vangho yaywa aliekhukyanya.

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

11 (“Ulwa khuva umwa va Adamu ainchile khukhie khiephokha khila iekhieyaghile).

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

12 Mwilola ndakhikhi? Umunu anghave nie ng'osi miamoja, yeimo yie nghayaghe, sakhanchielekhe nchila tisini na tisa, nukhuluta khukyamba, khulonda yiela iyieyaghile?

How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

13 Anghayievone iyiekhayaghila, mwiedhikhaghe, niekhuvavula, niehovokha ukhulutiela khunchila tisini na tisa nchincho sanchiyaghile.

And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that [sheep], than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

14 Vuyie liewo ewo saphunonghile pavulongholo vetu uvakhukyanya ukhuta undhebe yumo muava ayaghaghe.

Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

15 Ulukhololyo anghakhu nanghiele, ulute mukhanchovane muvulane umwe mwivavile mwie vene inchumuyaghine, anghakhuphulikhe wiva weikhiliwile ulukhololwo.

Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

16 Hanghe anghalekhe ukhukhuphulikha pwu untole uyungha umunu nu va viele nuvadaatu ukhuta amamenyu gha ava ghavinchaghe vusaidi pa vuyielweli aghivuliwa.

But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

17 Pwu anghabedhe ukhuvaphuhiencha, pwu mukhaghuvule umpelela, pwu aghalemwe ukhughuphuliehiencha umpelela, pwave munu va khuva khulyuve ndumunu untenghe nuo nsongha songho.

And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

18 Mwiedhikhaghe, mikhuvavula, ikyumuphulihana ukhukhiekhungha mukhilungha na khukhu kyanya khiva khiekhunghiwe.

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

19 Hanghe nikhuvavula ukhuta avanu vavieli mughati ndyumwe vanghiedhiehana mukhilungha khukhinu ikyuvidova, iekhuvapha ikhienu ikyuvidova, uDada vango uvakhukya iekhuvavombela.

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

20 Ulwa khuva avanu vavieli aphanghe vadhatu vanghalundamane pwuphaninie khulitawa lyangho, une pwu niva paghati pavene.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

21 Hanghe uPetro akhincha nukhumbula uYesu, “Nkhuludeva, pilondiwa ulukhololyo akhunanghiele khalienghi pwu wiesyiekhile? Ndawisyiekhile mara saba?”

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22 U Yesu akhambula, “Sanikhukhuvula ukhuta mala saba, hanghe unsiekhile saba mala saba.

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

23 Ulwa khuva uludheva ulwa khukyanya lulieanile nuntwa yuomo uvieanogwagha ukhuliehania eimbalilo ukhuhuva khuva vanda vamwene.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

24 Watenghwile ukhuliehania eimbalilo ya mwene, umbanda yumo va mwene vakhaghegha khumwene yuywa akhandhayagha, intalanta avaelfu khumi.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

25 Ulwa khuva alemwagha ukhuta ihomba ndakhiekhi, untwa vamwene akhalaghincha aghunchiwe, undhala va mwene na vavana vamwene na khila khinu eikyalienakyo, nuluhombo puluvombekhe.

But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

26 Umbendha ankaghwa, akhafughama pavulonghole pa mwene, akhanchova, “Nkhuludeva, uvinchaghe vakhu muliekhila pwu paninie nune, niekhukhuhomba khila khinu.'

The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

27 Pwu untwa va mbandha ula, ulwakhuva akholile eikhisa akhandhekha pwu akhansiekhila unkhole ngwa mwene.

Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

28 Khanghe umbanda ula akhahuma hanghe akhambona yumo mu vavanda avanine, yuywa andhayagha unkhole idinali mia moja. Akhankwegha, akhunkhuda khusingho, nukhumbula ukhuta, 'Uhombe unkhole gwanghokhiekyo nikhukhumela.'

But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

29 Hanghe umbandha ula unine akhaghwa nukhundhova ukhulutielila, aliekhuta, “Uve munu vakhumuliekhila, une nikhukhuhomba.'

And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

30 Pwu umbanda uviatalile abelile. Pwu akhaluta nukhuntagha mumbunkhungwa, imphakha akhieva ihomba unklole gwa mwene.

And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

31 Vavile vilola avavanda avanine nchila inchivombikhe. Vasaghile eino. Puvakhincha vakhambula untwa vavo khilakhieno iekhievumbikhe.

So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

32 Pwu ule untwa va mbanda ula akhamwilangha, nukhumbula, 'Uve vie mbanda vintulanonghwa, nikhakhusyiekhile unkhole gwangho gwoni ulwa khuva ukhansiemielinche eno.

Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

33 Khekhi! Sukhalondiwagha ukhuta uvienchaghe niekhisa khumbanda nieno, nduvuniekhakhukholile einkhesa uve?

Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

34 Untwa va mwene akhaviepha pwu akhan'ielekha khuvavo vietesya imphakha upwakhiva iehomba unkhole fyoni fifyo akhandhayagha.

And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

35 Vuyayiwa ewo u Dada uvakhukyanya wayikhuvavombela, khila munu yuywa sakhasyiekhile ulukhololwe ukhuhuma munumbula yamwene.”

So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
