Matayo 18

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

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

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

And Jesus called a little child to him, 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 to you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not 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.

Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is 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 whoever 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 whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in me, to sin, 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 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 offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense 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)

Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to sin, 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 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 thy eye causeth thee to sin, 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 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.

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who 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).

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

How think ye? if a man hath a hundred sheep, and one of them is gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go to the mountains, and seek that which is gone astray?

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

And if he findeth it, verily I say to you, he rejoiceth more over that [sheep], than over the ninety and nine which went not 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 who 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.

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 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 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 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 shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] to the church: but if he shall neglect to hear the church, let him be to thee as a heathen and a 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 to you, Whatever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatever 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 to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth, concerning any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who 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 assembled 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 to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

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

Jesus saith to him, I say not to 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 to a certain king who would take account of 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 to him who 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 as he had not ability 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 worshiped 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

Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed 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 the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest.

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

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

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 the debt.

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 very sorry, and came and told to 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, having called him, said to him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

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

Shouldst thou not also have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity 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 to him.

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

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