Mateu 18
1 Mwinako iswana. Jesu “abawambi kubaluti bakwe njeni mukando mwiulu.”
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greater in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 Jesu casumpa muhwire nikumubika mukati kabo,
So Jesus called over a little child, placed him among them,
3 “ikumbya ni wamba kwenu Konji hosanduka niku swana sina bahwile banini, kakwina mowolela kwi njirira mumubuso wa kwi ulu.
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 Cwale muntu uliboza mwi konde Sina Muhwile Munini, muntu yoswana nji mukando mumubuso wa kwiulu.
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Yense yotambula muhwire munini mwi zina lyangu watambula ime.
And whoever receives one little child such as this in my name receives me.
6 Yense yoletisa kuti aba bahwire bachite bubi, kwina butuka kuti asuminwe ibwe ikando mwinsingo, nikumusohela mubuliba bwe wate.
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 Bumai kwinkanda kakuli inako celi za kucuncula! Ka kuli kwina butokwa kuti izo inako zikeza! Kono bumai kacozo muntu izi inako kazize cakwe!
“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 Haiba iiyanza lyako kapa itende lyako likuletela kuwa, likosole kwateni ni kulisohela kule nawe. Kwina butuka kwako kwi njila mubuso wakwilu ni uli cihole kwanda kuuti usohelwe mumulilo usazimi ni wina onse mayanza ni matende. (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 Haiba linso lyako likuleteza kufosai, lizwise mo ulisohele kule nawe. Kushiyeme kwako kwi njila mubuso wakwilu nilinso lyonke kuzamba kusohelwa mulyangalilo niwina menso obele. (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 Ubone kuti kanzi unyansilizi zumwi waba bahwile. Nimiwambila kuti mwiwulu mangeloi abo inako yonse a lolete habusu bubaTayo bena kwiwulu.
“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 Kakuti mwana muntu a vakezi kukuhaza cizovete.
For the Son of Man came to save the lost.
12 Muhupula nzi? Muntu wina imbelele zicita mwanda, cikwazoba hateni yonke, ketico siya zimwi zicita makumi acita iyanza ni zone zibaka zama luundu ni kukagana imwiina yazoba?
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 mi haiwana, ikumbya ni miwambila, kasangalala cayo kuhita izo zina makumi a cita iyanza ni toone ni yanza ni toone zisana za zooba.
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 Mwinzila iswana kahena kusuna kwe Tayo wina kwiwulu kuti imwina kazenini i zenengehe.
In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Haiba mukwako wakufosekeza, yende, mu tondeze mulandu wakwe mukati kaako naye. Haiba naa kutekeleza ciwa muwola mwaako.
“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 Kono haiba nasateeki kwako, uhinde ipaki imwina kapa zobele zimwi, njo kuti tuholo twabantu bobeele nandi botaatwe kuba ipaki lenzwi ni inzwi.
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 Linu haiba na kaana kutekeleza kubali, wambe i ndaba Kwi nkeleke. Haiba naakana kuzuwa kwi nkeleke, muhinde sina mulicaba ni mutelisi.
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 Chabusakusima ni kuwambila, chonse chintu chisuminwe hansi ni kwiwulu chisuminwe. Chonse chisumuninwe hansi ni kwiwulu kachisumununwe.
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 Kwekeza henzo nimiwambila kuti, haiba mububeli bwenu muzuminzene hansi kuamana ni chimwi ni chimwi chonse chimukumbila, chintu ni chintu chibakumbila, kabachitendelwe ne Tayo wina kwiwulu.
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 Mukuti konse kwina bobele kapa botatwe bakopene hamwina mwizina lyangu, ime kanibe mukati kabo.”
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them.”
21 Linu Pitorosi chabuza Jesu, “Simwine, tongai mwaangu twa wola kuni fosekeza mu kuti nimu swalele? Kwanda twina iyanza nito beele?”
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 Jesu na muti, “kaniku wambili twe iyanza ni to beele, kono makumi eyanza ni obeele makumi. hape.
Jesus said to him, “Not, I tell yoʋ, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
23 Cheyo inzila ipuso yekwiwulu ibambanywa ni simwine zumwi yaba sake namanise chikoloti ni muhikana kwe.
“For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Habati batangise za kushiamisa, muhikana umwina abaletwa kwali yabali kumukolota italenta zichita zikiti zina ikumi.
As he began to settle accounts, one servant who had a debt of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
25 Kono ibaka lakuti kanabena mwawola kuitabila, mfumwakwe chalaela kuti awuzwe, hamwina ni mwihyabwe ni bahwile ni zonse zabena naze, ibaka le ntifo i tendwe.
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 Linu muhikana chawila hansi, ni kukubama habusu bwakwe, mi nati, 'Mfumwangu, munifwile inse, mi kanikulihe zonse.'
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 Chobulyo mfumu wamuhikana, kakuli ababi ni nse, abamulukululi nikuswalela chikoloti chakwe.
Moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.
28 Muhikana uzo na yenda kunze mi naka wana ba mwaakwe, ya bali kumu kolota ikumi lwa mali na mu fwañata. Ni kumu kwatila mumumino, mi nati, 'ni life co kolota.'
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 Kono mwaakwe wo mutanga na wila hansi ni kumu kumbila, nati, 'U ni kwatile, mi munikulihe.'
So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay yoʋ.’
30 Linu muhikana wa matangizo nakana. Kwanda bulyo, nayenda ni kumusohela mwi ntolongo, kusikila hete namulihe zonse zo kolota.
But he was not willing to do so. Instead, he went and threw him into prison until he should repay what was owed.
31 Linu ba mwi batanga haba boona cibatendahali, baba bengi maswe. Nikwiza kuwambila mfumwe ziba chitahali.
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 Linu ifumwe wamuhikana na musumpa, namuti, 'iwe mutanga yo fosaheele, ni baku wondeli mulandu wako kakuli ubani kumbili.
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 Kete no babi ni nse nawe kwa mwaako, ubu muni ba ku kwatili nawe?'
Should yoʋ not also have had mercy on yoʋr fellow servant, even as I had mercy on yoʋ?’
34 Simwine wakwe nabenga mi namuha mu mayanza aba nyandisi kusikila hete namane kuliha zonse za mukolwete.
And in anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured until he should repay all that was owed him.
35 Njekuti Tayo wakuwulu naye mwa tende mu kuswana, haiba zumwi ni zumwi wenu kate awasalele mwaakwe mwi nkulo.”
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.”
