Matayo 18
1 Muda bhobhuobhu bhanafunzi bhakahida kwa Yesu ni kun'jobhela, “Niani mbaha mu bhufalme bhwa mbinguni?”
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greater in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 Yesu akankuta mwana n'debe akambheka pagati pa bhene, ni kujobha,
So Jesus called over a little child, placed him among them,
3 “Kweli nikabhajobhela, kama mtubwi lepi ni kujha kama bhana bhadebe mwibetalepi kujhingila mu ufalme bhwa K'yara.
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 Hiyo j'hej'hioha j'haikiselesya kama mwana n'debe, munu ojhu ibetakujha mmbaha mu ufalme bhwa K'yara kumbinguni.
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Na yeyote j'ha ikanjamb'elela muana n'debe kwa lihina lya nene an'jamb'elili nene.
And whoever receives one little child such as this in my name receives 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 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 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 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 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)
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 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 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 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.
“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 (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).
For the Son of Man came to save the lost.
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?
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 Na akamalayi kulikabha, kweli nikabhajobhela akamfurahia kuliko bhala tisini na tisa bhabhabeli kujhagha.
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 Fefuefu, sio mapenzi gha Tata ghwinu g'hwa mbinguni kuj'ha mmonga ghwa bhadebe abha ajhangamilayi.
In the same way, it is not the will of your Father 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.
“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 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 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 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.
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 Kweli nikabhajobhela, kyokyoha khela kyamwibeta kukidenda kuduniani ni kumbinguni kid'endibhu. na kyokyoha khela kya mwibeta kukidendulila ku duniani ni kumbinguni kid'endulibhu.
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 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, 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 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, I am there among 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 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 Yesu akan'jobhela, “Nikujobhela lepi mara saba, lakini hata sabini mara saba.
Jesus said to him, “Not, I tell yoʋ, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
23 Kwa ndabha ejhu bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ni sawa ni mfalme mmonga jhaalondeghe kwisahihisha hesabu kuhoma kwa bhatumwa bha muene.
“For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Bho abhwanji kusahihisha hesabu, mtumwa mmonga akaletibhwa kwa muene ambajhe an'dajheghe talanta elfu kumi.
As he began to settle accounts, one servant who had a debt of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
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 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 Hivyo mtumwa akabina, akapiga magoti m'bele jha muene, akajobha, 'Bwana, uj'helayi ni bhuvumilivu pamonga ni nene, na nibetakulepa khila khenu.'
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 Hivyo bwana ghwa j'hola n'tumwa, kwa kuj'ha asukumibhu sana ni huruma andekhesili ni kun'samehe lideni e'lu
Moved with compassion, the master of that servant 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 who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Repay me what yoʋ owe.’
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 at his feet and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay yoʋ.’
30 Lakini n'tumwa j'hola ghwa kubhwandelu abelili. Badala j'hiake, akalota ni kun'tagha gerezani, mpaka pa ibeta kundepa khela kyaakan'dai.
But he was not willing to do so. Instead, he went and threw him into prison until he should repay what was owed.
31 Na bho bhabhuene bhatumwa bhajhinu khela kya kitokili. Bhasikitishibu sana. Bhakahida ni kun'jobhela bwana ghwa bhene kila khenu kya kyah'omili.
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 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 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 Je! Ulondekaghelepi kujha ni huruma kwa n'tumwa njinu, kama nene kyanikuhurumili bhebhe?
Should yoʋ not also have had mercy on yoʋr fellow servant, even as I had mercy on yoʋ?’
34 Bwana ghwa muene akadada ni kun'kabidhi kwa bhala bhatesaji mpaka pa ibetakulepa kiasi kyoha kyaadaibhweghe.
And in anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured until he should repay all that was owed him.
35 Efyo ndo dadi j'hangu ghwa kumbinguni kyaibetakubhabhombela, kama kila mmonga ghwinu ibetalepi kun'samehe ndongo munu kuhomela ghwa muene.”
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.”
