Matayo 18

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

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

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

And Jesus calling to Him a little child, set it 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 declare unto you, unless ye be converted, and become like little children, ye shall never 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, he shall be 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 for my sake, 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 whosoever shall lay a stumbling-block in the way of one of these little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that a milstone were hung on his neck, and that he were thrown into 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!

Wo will be to the world from such offenses; for it is of necessity that offenses come: but wo 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)

If then thy hand or thy foot cause thee to offend, cut them off and cast them from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, 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 thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life with but one eye, 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.

See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I tell you, that their angels in heaven do continually appear in the presence 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 came from thence 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?

What think ye? if any man had an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray, would he not leave the ninety and nine, and go upon the hills, and seek that which is gone astray?

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

And if he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more on account of that, than of the ninety 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 heavenly Father, that any one of these little ones should be lost.

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 trespass against thee, go and expostulate with him alone; if he hearken to 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 regard thee not, 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 disregard them, tell it to the church: but if he disregard the church too, let him be unto thee as an 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 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 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.

And I tell you moreover, that if but two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing which they would ask for, it shall be granted 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 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 Peter came to Him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? to seven times?

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

Jesus answereth him, I tell thee not, to seven times, but to seventy times seven.

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

And therefore the gospel-kingdom is like unto a king, who had a mind to settle accounts with his servants:

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

and when he began to reckon, there was brought to him one, who was debtor in 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.

and not having it 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 prostrate before him, saying, Lord, bear with me a while, 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 his lord had compassion on him, and discharged 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 same servant, as he was going out, met with one of his fellow-servants, who owed him but an hundred pence; and he laid hold on him and seized him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest me:

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 intreated him, saying, Bear with me a while, 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 away and threw 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.

Now when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very much grieved, and came and acquainted their lord with all that had passed.

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 for him again, and said to him, Thou wicked slave, I forgave thee all that vast debt at thy request,

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

and oughtest not thou to have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had on thee?

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

And his lord being highly provoked delivered him to the officers, till he should pay all that was owing to him.

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

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