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 unto 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 unto him, and set him in the midst 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, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever 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 whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth 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 whoso 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 unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
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)
Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, 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 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 thine eye offend thee, 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 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 ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto 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 ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh 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, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth 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 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 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 [thee, then] take with thee 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] unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee 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.
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 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 unto 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 midst 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 saith unto him, I say not unto thee, 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 unto 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 unto 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 forasmuch 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 thee 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 fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 Matokisa naho mahaliñisa ahy fa hene havahako.
And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee 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 fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto 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 unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 Aa tsy ho nitretreze’o ka hao i mpitoro’o nihalaly ama’oy hambañe amy niheveako azoy?’
Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
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 unto 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 unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
