Mateu 18
1 Mwinako iswana. Jesu “abawambi kubaluti bakwe njeni mukando mwiulu.”
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
2 Jesu casumpa muhwire nikumubika mukati kabo,
Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
3 “ikumbya ni wamba kwenu Konji hosanduka niku swana sina bahwile banini, kakwina mowolela kwi njirira mumubuso wa kwi ulu.
and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 Cwale muntu uliboza mwi konde Sina Muhwile Munini, muntu yoswana nji mukando mumubuso wa kwiulu.
Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
5 Yense yotambula muhwire munini mwi zina lyangu watambula ime.
Whoever receives one such little child 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 whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk 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 occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion 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 your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast 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)
If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 Ubone kuti kanzi unyansilizi zumwi waba bahwile. Nimiwambila kuti mwiwulu mangeloi abo inako yonse a lolete habusu bubaTayo bena kwiwulu.
See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
11 Kakuti mwana muntu a vakezi kukuhaza cizovete.
For the Son of Man came to save that which was 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 one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which 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.
If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
14 Mwinzila iswana kahena kusuna kwe Tayo wina kwiwulu kuti imwina kazenini i zenengehe.
Even so it is not the will of your Father who is 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 your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your 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 doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
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 assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
18 Chabusakusima ni kuwambila, chonse chintu chisuminwe hansi ni kwiwulu chisuminwe. Chonse chisumuninwe hansi ni kwiwulu kachisumununwe.
Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released 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, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is 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, there I am in the middle of 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 and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
22 Jesu na muti, “kaniku wambili twe iyanza ni to beele, kono makumi eyanza ni obeele makumi. hape.
Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
23 Cheyo inzila ipuso yekwiwulu ibambanywa ni simwine zumwi yaba sake namanise chikoloti ni muhikana kwe.
Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Habati batangise za kushiamisa, muhikana umwina abaletwa kwali yabali kumukolota italenta zichita zikiti zina ikumi.
When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
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 because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 Linu muhikana chawila hansi, ni kukubama habusu bwakwe, mi nati, 'Mfumwangu, munifwile inse, mi kanikulihe zonse.'
The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
27 Chobulyo mfumu wamuhikana, kakuli ababi ni nse, abamulukululi nikuswalela chikoloti chakwe.
The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, 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 one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you 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, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
30 Linu muhikana wa matangizo nakana. Kwanda bulyo, nayenda ni kumusohela mwi ntolongo, kusikila hete namulihe zonse zo kolota.
He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
31 Linu ba mwi batanga haba boona cibatendahali, baba bengi maswe. Nikwiza kuwambila mfumwe ziba chitahali.
So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
32 Linu ifumwe wamuhikana na musumpa, namuti, 'iwe mutanga yo fosaheele, ni baku wondeli mulandu wako kakuli ubani kumbili.
Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
33 Kete no babi ni nse nawe kwa mwaako, ubu muni ba ku kwatili nawe?'
Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
34 Simwine wakwe nabenga mi namuha mu mayanza aba nyandisi kusikila hete namane kuliha zonse za mukolwete.
His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 Njekuti Tayo wakuwulu naye mwa tende mu kuswana, haiba zumwi ni zumwi wenu kate awasalele mwaakwe mwi nkulo.”
So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
