Matayo 18

1 Muda bhobhuobhu bhanafunzi bhakahida kwa Yesu ni kun'jobhela, “Niani mbaha mu bhufalme bhwa mbinguni?”

In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 Yesu akankuta mwana n'debe akambheka pagati pa bhene, ni kujobha,

And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,

3 “Kweli nikabhajobhela, kama mtubwi lepi ni kujha kama bhana bhadebe mwibetalepi kujhingila mu ufalme bhwa K'yara.

and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Hiyo j'hej'hioha j'haikiselesya kama mwana n'debe, munu ojhu ibetakujha mmbaha mu ufalme bhwa K'yara kumbinguni.

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

5 Na yeyote j'ha ikanjamb'elela muana n'debe kwa lihina lya nene an'jamb'elili nene.

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

6 Lakini j'hej'hioha j'haibetakusababisya mmonga kati j'ha bhadebe abha bhabhakaniamini kuasi, ibetakuj'ha kinofu kwa munu oj'hu liganga likholo lya kusyaghila likakhongibhwa mu nsingu mwa muene, ni kusopibhwa kul'osi kunyanja.

But whoso shall cause one of these little ones which believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and [that] he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.

7 Ole kwa dunia kwa ndabha j'ha bhwakati bhwa kudadisibhwa! kwa kuj'ha haina budi kwa nyakati esu kuhida, lakini ole ghwake kwa munu j'hola nyakati e'su sideta kuhida kwa ndabha j'ha muene!

Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!

8 kama kibhoko kya bhebhe au kigolo kikakusababishilayi kudada, uudumulayi ni kuutagha patali nabhi. Kinofu zaidi kwa bhebhe kujhingila mu bhuzima bila kibhoko au kilema, kuliko kutaghibhwa mu muoto bhwa milele akaj'helayi ni mabhoko ghoha ni magolo ghoha. (aiōnios g166)

And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)

9 Kama lihu lya j'hobhi likakudadisiayi ulibhosiayi na ulitaghai kutali nabhi. Na kinofu zaidi kwa bhebhe uj'hingilayi hosi mu bhusima ni lihu limonga, kuliko kutaghibhwa mu muoto bhwa milele ukaj'helayi ni mihu ghoha. (Geenna g1067)

And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)

10 Mulangayi kuj'ha musihidi mukan'jimula mmonga wa abha bhadebe. Kwa ndabha nikabhajobhela kuj'ha kumbinguni bhajhele malaika bha bhene magono ghoha bhakabhulanga bhuso bhwa Tata ghwangu j'haaj'hele kumbinguni.

See 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 (Zingatilayi: Malobhi ghaghibhonekana kama gha mstari ghwa 11, “Kwa kuj'ha Mwana ghwa Adamu ahidili kuokola khela kyakyaj'haghili” ghabhonekene lepi mu nakala bora sya muandi).

12 Mwifikirira kiki? Ikaj'hiaghe munu aj'he ni likondoo mia moja, na limonga likajhagha, je ibetakughaleka tisini na tisa kukid'onda ni kulota kulonda limonga lyalijhaghili?

How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray?

13 Na akamalayi kulikabha, kweli nikabhajobhela akamfurahia kuliko bhala tisini na tisa bhabhabeli kujhagha.

And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray.

14 Fefuefu, sio mapenzi gha Tata ghwinu g'hwa mbinguni kuj'ha mmonga ghwa bhadebe abha ajhangamilayi.

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

15 Kama ndongobhu akakuselayi, lotayi, kandasiayi dosari j'haj'hiyele kati ya bhebhe ni muene akaj'helayi muene. Kama ibetakup'helekesya bhwibeta kiujha unkerebhwisi ndongobhu.

And if thy brother sin against thee, go, shew him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

16 Lakini kama ibetakubela kup'elekesya ntolayi ndongobhu mmonga au bhabhele zaidi pamonga ni bhebhe kwa kuj'ha kwa vinywa fya mashahidi bhabhele au bhadatu kila lilobhi libhwesya kuthibitishibhwa.

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

17 Na kama ibetakubhapuuzila kubhap'helekesya, lijobhelayi kanisa khenu ekhu, kama ibetakupuuzila kabhele kulip'helekesya kanisa, basi na aj'helayi kama munu bhwa mataifa ni mtoza ushuru.

And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican.

18 Kweli nikabhajobhela, kyokyoha khela kyamwibeta kukidenda kuduniani ni kumbinguni kid'endibhu. na kyokyoha khela kya mwibeta kukidendulila ku duniani ni kumbinguni kid'endulibhu.

Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

19 Kabhele nikabhajobhela kama bhanu bhabhele kati j'ha muenga bhakubaliene juu jha khenu kyokyoha khela pa duniani kyabhis'oma, e'lu Tata ghwa nene ghwa kumbinguni ibetakulibhomba.

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

20 Kwa kuj'ha bhabhele au bhadatu bhakakusanyikayi pamonga kwa lihina lya nene, Nene njele pagati pa bhene.

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

21 Kabhele Petro akahida ni kun'jobhela Yesu, “Bwana, ni mara silenga ndongo bhangu akanikosela ni nene nikan'samehe? Hata mara jha saba?”

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

22 Yesu akan'jobhela, “Nikujobhela lepi mara saba, lakini hata sabini mara saba.

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

23 Kwa ndabha ejhu bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ni sawa ni mfalme mmonga jhaalondeghe kwisahihisha hesabu kuhoma kwa bhatumwa bha muene.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would make a reckoning with his servants.

24 Bho abhwanji kusahihisha hesabu, mtumwa mmonga akaletibhwa kwa muene ambajhe an'dajheghe talanta elfu kumi.

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

25 Kwa kujha ajhelepi ni njela jha kulepa, bwana ghwa muene akalaghisya aghosibhwayi, n'dala munu pamonga ni bhana munu ni khila khenu kyaajhe nakhu, ni mal'epu ghabhombekayi.

But forasmuch as he had not [wherewith] 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 Hivyo mtumwa akabina, akapiga magoti m'bele jha muene, akajobha, 'Bwana, uj'helayi ni bhuvumilivu pamonga ni nene, na nibetakulepa khila khenu.'

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

27 Hivyo bwana ghwa j'hola n'tumwa, kwa kuj'ha asukumibhu sana ni huruma andekhesili ni kun'samehe lideni e'lu

And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

28 Lakini n'tumwa j'hola akabhoka ni kunkabha mmonga kati j'ha bhatumwa bhajhinu, jhaajhele akan'dai denari mia. Akamfuta, akankaba pa nkoromelu, ni kun'jobhela, 'Nil'epai khela kyanikudai.'

But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, which owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hold on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.

29 Lakini y'ola n'tumwa njinu akabina ni kun'sihi sana akajobha, 'Ujhelayi ni bhuvumilivu nani, na nibetakul'epa.'

So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.

30 Lakini n'tumwa j'hola ghwa kubhwandelu abelili. Badala j'hiake, akalota ni kun'tagha gerezani, mpaka pa ibeta kundepa khela kyaakan'dai.

And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due.

31 Na bho bhabhuene bhatumwa bhajhinu khela kya kitokili. Bhasikitishibu sana. Bhakahida ni kun'jobhela bwana ghwa bhene kila khenu kya kyah'omili.

So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

32 Ndipo y'ola bwana ghwa mtumwa j'hola akan'kuta, ni kun'jobhela, 'Ewe n'tumwa mwovu, nikakusamehe bhebhe lideni lyangu lyoha kwa ndabha ukan'somili muni.

Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me:

33 Je! Ulondekaghelepi kujha ni huruma kwa n'tumwa njinu, kama nene kyanikuhurumili bhebhe?

shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?

34 Bwana ghwa muene akadada ni kun'kabidhi kwa bhala bhatesaji mpaka pa ibetakulepa kiasi kyoha kyaadaibhweghe.

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

35 Efyo ndo dadi j'hangu ghwa kumbinguni kyaibetakubhabhombela, kama kila mmonga ghwinu ibetalepi kun'samehe ndongo munu kuhomela ghwa muene.”

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