Matio 18
1 Niheo mb’amy Iesoà mb’eo henane zay o mpiama’eo nañontane ty hoe: Ia ty atao’o ho lohàñe amy fifehean-dikerañey?
At the same time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 Tsinikao’e ty anak’ajaja naho navotra’e aivo’ iareo ao,
And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the middle of them,
3 le hoe re: To t’itaroñako t’ie naho tsy mitolike ho hambañe ami’ty ajaja toy, le tsy hizilike amy fifehean-dikerañey.
And said, Truly I say to you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Ze mandrambe ty ajaja manahake toke ami’ty añarako, mandrambe ahy.
And whoever shall receive one such little child in my name receives me.
6 Ze mampitsikapy ty raike amo ajaja mpiato amakoo, le kitra’e andravaham-bato-pandisanañe ty an-kàto’e vaho avokovoko an-driake laleke ao.
But whoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, 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 Hoy abey! amo mpimone’ ty voatse toio ty amo fampitsikapiañeo! Toe tsy mahay tsy eo ty mahatsikapy, natovo’e ty hoe: Hekoheko am’ indaty mampitsikapiy.
Woe to the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!
8 Naho mamingañ’ azo ty fità’o ndra fandia’o, kitsiho ama’o; fa hàmake himoake an-kaveloñe ao kepeke ndra doñe irehe, ta te hatolotse añ’afo bey tsy modo ao reketse fitàñe roe naho fandia roe. (aiōnios g166)
Why if your hand or your foot offend you, cut them off, and cast them from you: it is better for you to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 Aa naho mampitsikapy azo ty fihaino’o, pirito vaho atambirivirio añe; kitra’e hizilike an-kaveloñe ao fei-pihaino raike, ta t’ie hatolotse añ’afo bey ao reke-pihaino roe. (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye offend you, 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 hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 Asoao tsy ho sirikae’ areo ty raike amo anak’ ajalahio; fa itaroñako te nainai’e mahaisake o ana’ i Raeko andikerañeio o anjeli’ iareoo,
Take heed that you 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 which is in heaven.
11 vaho fa nijihetse tsy handrombak’ o rafelahio ka i Ana’ ondatiy.
For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
12 Akore ty heve’ areo? Ie manañe añondry zato t’indaty, le mandifike añe ty raike, tsy henga’e am-bohitse ao heike hao i sivampolo-sive’ amby rey, vaho ho mb’eo hitsoeke i nandifikey?
How think you? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and goes into the mountains, and seeks that which is gone astray?
13 Ie tendreke, Eka! to t’itaroñako te handian-taroba i raikey te amy sivampolo-sive’ amby tsy nandridrìke rey.
And if so be that he find it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
14 Amy te tsy lahan-dRae’ areo andindìñe ao ty hahamotso raike amo kede retiañe.
Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Ie henane zay, hoe t’i Iesoà amy Simona atao Petera: Ie manao hakeo ama’o ty longo’o, endaho an-tolake, ie mijanjiñe, le fa azo’o i longo’oy.
Moreover if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he shall hear you, you have gained your brother.
16 Aa naho tsy mañaoñe azo re, aseseho aolo ty ondaty, f’ie tsy mijanjiñe ndra fanta inoñ’ inoñe, le anovono roe ndra raike, hiatrefa’ ty valolombeloñe telo ndra roe, amy te mahajadoñe saontsy ty valolombeloñe telo ndra roe.
But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 Aa naho tsy mañaon-titike inoñe ndra sangy inon-dre, le taroño amy fivoriy; aa ie mboe tsy mete mijanjiñe i fivoriy, le ampanahafo ami’ty añombelahimavo naho ty rafelahy vaho ty piaroteñe.
And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be to you as an heathen man and a publican.
18 Eka, to t’itaroñako te ze fanta fehè’ areo an-tane atoy, ro feheñe andindiñe ao. Naho ze hahà’ areo an-tane atoy, ho hahàñe andindìñe ao.
Truly I say to you, Whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Tovoñako ama’ areo ty hoe, Naho miharo rehake amy ze ihalalia’ iareo ty roe ama’ areo an-tane atoy, le hanoen-dRaeko andindìñe ao ho a iareo.
Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 Ndra aia aia ivoria’ ty telo ndra roe ami’ty añarako le am’ iareo ao iraho.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the middle of them.
21 Le nisitsitse mb’ama’e t’i Petera, nanao ty hoe: O Rañandria, ie manao tahiñe amako ty rahalahiko, hiheveako pak’ impito hao?
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Hoe t’i Iesoà tama’e: Tsy anoako ty hoe Ampara’ ty fito, fa Sikal’ ami’ty fitom-polo-fito’amby.
Jesus says to him, I say not to you, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23 I fifehean-dikerañey, le ampanahafeñe ami’ty mpanjaka niambesatse nifamolily amo mpitoro’eo naho amo mpamandro’eo.
Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24 Ie namototse volily, pok’eo ty nisongo bogady volamena rai-ale ama’e;
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25 aa ie tsy nanan-katolotse, le linili’ i talè’ey te haletake reketse keleiañe naho ze hanaña’e iaby, hañavake i songoy.
But for as much as he had not 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 Nibaboke aolo’ i talè’ey i mpitoroñey, nitoreo te hifereñaiña’e, handiñisa’e, fa fonga havaha’e.
The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
27 Aa le niferenaiña’ i talèy, le vinotso’e vaho hene napo’e.
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 Fa naho niavotse i mpitoroñey le nanjo ty mpitrao-pitoroñe nanaña’e drala zato, le tsinepa’e naho finofo’e vaho hoe ty asa’ i kinabokey
But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that you owe.
29 Matokisa naho mahaliñisa ahy fa hene havahako.
And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and sought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
30 F’ie tsy nimete nitsanoñe aze, te mone nasese’e mb’am-balabey ao ampara’ te fonga hondroha’e.
And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 Nioni’ o mpitrao-pitoroñeo i nanoe’ey le akore ty haboseha’ iareo kanao niheo mb’amy talè’ey nitalily.
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 Aa le kinanji’ i talè’ey vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ty mpitoroñe fatse toy, tsy hene niheveako hao o songo’oo amy nampihaonkaoñe’o ahiy?
Then his lord, after that he had called him, said to him, O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me:
33 Aa tsy ho nitretreze’o ka hao i mpitoro’o nihalaly ama’oy hambañe amy niheveako azoy?’
Should not you also have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?
34 Niviñera’ i talè’ey vaho linili’e t’ie ho samporeraheñe ampara’ te hene avaha’e i sinongo’ey.
And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due to him.
35 Izay ty hanoan-dRaeko andindìñe ao ama’areo naho tsy songa miheve ty longo’e an-tro-mazava.
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also to you, if you from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
