UMathewu 18
1 Ngalesosikhathi abafundi beza kuJesu, bathi: Kanti ngubani omkhulu embusweni wamazulu?
Ɛbɛyɛ saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, Yesu asuafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, wɔn mu hwan na ɔbɛyɛ kɛseɛ Ɔsoro Ahennie no mu?
2 UJesu wasebizela kuye umntwana omncane wammisa phakathi kwabo,
Yesu frɛɛ abɔfra ketewa bi de no bɛgyinaa wɔn mfimfini.
3 wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Ngaphandle kokuthi liphenduke libe njengabantwana abancane, kalisoze lingene embusweni wamazulu.
Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Merema mo ate aseɛ sɛ, gye sɛ motwe mo ho firi mo bɔne ho, na moyɛ sɛ mmɔfra nketewa, na mode mo ho ma Onyankopɔn ansa na mobɛtumi akɔ Ɔsoro Ahennie no mu.
4 Ngakho lowo ozazithoba njengalumntwana omncane, nguye omkhulu embusweni wamazulu.
Enti, obiara a ɔbɛbrɛ ne ho ase sɛ abɔfra yi no, ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ ɔkɛseɛ koraa Ɔsoro Ahennie mu.
5 Njalo loba ngubani owemukela abe munye umntwana omncane onje ebizweni lami, wemukela mina.
Na mo mu biara a, me enti ɔbɛgye abɔfra ketewa biara te sɛ yei no, wagye me nso aba ne nkyɛn.
6 Kodwa loba ngubani okhubekisa omunye walaba abancinyane abakholwa kimi, kungakuhle kuye ukuthi ilitshe lokuchola elikhulu lilengiswe entanyeni yakhe, abesetshoniswa enzikini yolwandle.
“Enti, sɛ obi to mmɔfra nketewa a wɔgye me die yi bi suntidua a, ɛyɛ ma no sɛ anka wɔde ɛboɔ duruduru bɛsɛn ne kɔn mu ato no atwene ɛpo mu.
7 Maye kuwo umhlaba ngenxa yezikhubekiso! Ngoba izikhubekiso zimele ukufika; kodwa maye kulowomuntu, esifika ngaye isikhubekiso!
Ewiase nnue wɔ ne suntiduatoɔ ho! Suntiduatoɔ wɔ hɔ deɛ, nanso deɛ ɛnam ne so bɛba no nnue.
8 Njalo uba isandla sakho kumbe unyawo lwakho kukukhubekisa, kuqume ukulahlele khatshana lawe; kungcono kuwe ukungena ekuphileni uyingini kumbe uyisiqhwala, kulokuthi ulezandla ezimbili kumbe inyawo ezimbili uphoselwe emlilweni olaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
Enti, sɛ wo nsa anaa wo nan ma woyɛ bɔne a, twa na to twene. Ɛyɛ ma wo sɛ wode dɛm bɛkɔ ɔsoro sene sɛ wɔde wo onipa mu bɛto ogyatannaa mu. (aiōnios g166)
9 Futhi uba ilihlo lakho likukhubekisa, likhuphe ulilahlele khatshana lawe; kungcono kuwe ukungena ekuphileni ulelihlo elilodwa, kulokuthi ulamehlo amabili uphoselwe esihogweni somlilo. (Geenna g1067)
Na sɛ wʼani ma woyɛ bɔne a, tu na to twene. Ɛyɛ ma wo sɛ wode ani korɔ bɛkɔ ɔsoro sene sɛ wowɔ ani mmienu na wɔde wo bɛto amanehunu egya mu. (Geenna g1067)
10 Qaphelani lingadeleli omunye walaba abancinyane, ngoba ngithi kini: Emazulwini ingilosi zabo zihlala zibona ubuso bukaBaba osemazulwini.
“Monhwɛ yie na moammu saa mmɔfra nketewa yi mu baako koraa animtia. Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, ɔsoro hɔ no, wɔn abɔfoɔ wɔ mʼagya nkyɛn daa.
11 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu ize ukusindisa okwakulahlekile.
Na me, Agyenkwa no, mebaeɛ sɛ merebɛgye wɔn a wɔayera no nkwa.
12 Licabangani? Uba umuntu othile elezimvu ezilikhulu, besekulahleka enye yazo, kazitshiyi yini ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye, ahambe ezintabeni ukuyadinga elahlekileyo?
“Sɛ onipa bi wɔ nnwan ɔha, na wɔn mu baako kɔkyini na ɔyera a, ɛdeɛn na ɔbɛyɛ? Ɔrennya aduɔkron nkron no hɔ nkɔkyinkyini mmepɔ so ne abɔn mu nhwehwɛ deɛ wayera no?
13 Futhi uba kungenzakala ukuthi ayithole, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Uthokoza ngayo kakhulu kulalezo ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye ezingalahlekanga.
Na sɛ ɛba sɛ ɔhunu saa odwan no a, nʼani gye ne ho sene aduɔkron nkron a wɔwɔ efie no.
14 Ngokunjalo kayisiyo intando kaYihlo osemazulwini ukuthi kubhubhe abe munye walaba abancinyane.
Saa ara nso na mʼagya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no mpɛ sɛ nketewa yi mu baako bɛyera.
15 Kodwa nxa umfowenu ekona, hamba umsole phakathi kwakho laye lilodwa. Uba ekuzwa, umzuzile umfowenu;
“Sɛ wo nua fom wo a, kɔ ne nkyɛn na wo ne no baanu no nka deɛ ɔyɛɛ wo a ɛnyɛ wo dɛ no. Sɛ ɔtie deɛ woka no, na ɔte ne ho ase a, onua ayɛ onua.
16 kodwa uba engakuzwa, thatha abe munye kumbe babe babili kanye lawe futhi, ukuze lonke ilizwi liqiniswe ngomlomo wabafakazi ababili kumbe abathathu;
Na sɛ wantie nso a, sane fa onipa baako anaa baanu ka wo ho kɔ ne nkyɛn, na deɛ ɛbɛsi biara no, nnipa baanu anaa baasa adi ho adanseɛ.
17 njalo nxa esala ukubezwa bona, tshela ibandla; uba esala ukuzwa lalo ibandla, kabe njengowezizwe lomthelisi kuwe.
Sɛ wantie wo a, fa asɛm no kɔma asafo. Na sɛ wodi bem asafo no anim, na ɔnte ne ho ase ara a, asafo no mpam no mfiri wɔn mu.
18 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Konke elizakubopha emhlabeni, kuzakuba kubotshiwe ezulwini; njalo konke elizakukhulula emhlabeni, kuzakuba kukhululiwe ezulwini.
“Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, biribiara a mokyekyere wɔ asase so no, wɔakyekyere wɔ ɔsoro, na biribiara a moasane wɔ asase so no, wɔasane wɔ ɔsoro.
19 Njalo ngithi kini: Uba ababili benu bevumelana emhlabeni loba ngaluphi ulutho abalucelayo, bazalwenzelwa nguBaba osemazulwini.
“Meresane aka akyerɛ mo bio sɛ, sɛ mo mu baanu biara a wɔte asase yi so hwehwɛ biribi na wɔde nokorɛ bisa mʼagya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no a, ɔbɛyɛ ama wɔn.
20 Ngoba lapho ababili kumbe abathathu ababuthene khona ebizweni lami, ngikhona lapho phakathi kwabo.
Na deɛ baanu anaa baasa ahyia wɔ me din mu no, na mewɔ wɔn mfimfini.”
21 UPetro wasemsondelela wathi: Nkosi, umfowethu uzangona kangaki, njalo ngimthethelela? Kuze kube kasikhombisa yini?
Petro baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, mpɛn ahe na sɛ me nua fom me a memfa nkyɛ no? Mpɛn nson anaa?”
22 UJesu wathi kuye: Kangitsho kuwe ukuthi kuze kube kasikhombisa, kodwa kuze kube ngamatshumi ayisikhombisa aphindwe kasikhombisa.
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Dabi! Mpɛn aduɔson ahodoɔ nson!
23 Ngakho umbuso wamazulu ufananiswa lomuntu oyinkosi, owayethanda ukulandiselana lenceku zakhe.
“Ɔsoro Ahennie no te sɛ ɔhene bi a ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔne nʼapaafoɔ bu nkonta.
24 Kwathi eseqalile ukulandisa, kwalethwa kuye enye elomlandu kuyo wamathalenta azinkulungwane ezilitshumi.
Nkontabuo no mu no, wɔde ɔpaani bi a ɔde no ka sika ɔpepem edu brɛɛ no.
25 Kodwa njengoba yayingelalutho lokuhlawula, inkosi yayo yalaya ukuthi ithengiswe, lomkayo labantwana bayo, lakho konke elakho, besekuhlawulwa.
Esiane sɛ na ɔnni sika a ɔde bɛtua ka no enti, ɔhene no hyɛɛ sɛ wɔntɔn ɔne ne yere ne ne mma ne biribiara a ɔwɔ, na wɔmfa mmɛtua ɛka no.
26 Ngakho inceku yawa phansi imkhothamela, yathi: Nkosi, ngibekezelela, futhi ngizakuhlawula konke.
“Ɔpaani yi de nʼanim butuu fam, srɛɛ ne wura yi sɛ, ‘Me wura, hunu me mmɔbɔ, na to wo bo ase ma me, na mɛba abɛtua ɛka a mede wo no nyinaa.’
27 Inkosi yaleyonceku yasisiba lesihelo yayikhulula, yayixolela umlandu.
Ɔpaani yi asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no yɛɛ ɔhene no mmɔbɔ, ma ɔgyaa no de ne ka no nyinaa nso kyɛɛ no.
28 Kodwa yaphuma leyonceku yathola omunye oyinceku kanye layo, olomlandu kuyo wabodenariyo abalikhulu, yambamba yamkhama, yathi: Ngihlawula okufaneleyo.
“Saa ɔpaani yi firi hɔ no, ɔkɔhunuu ne nwurakwaa no mu bi a ɔde no ka sika kakraa bi. Ɔtim no amene sɛ ɔntua no ɛka a ɔde no no wɔ ɛhɔ ara.
29 Ngakho oyinceku kanye layo wawa phansi ezinyaweni zayo wayincenga, wathi: Ungibekezelele, futhi ngizakuhlawula konke.
“Na nʼawurakwaa no koto, paa no kyɛw sɛ ɔnto ne bo ase mma no, na ɔbɛtua ka no.
30 Kodwa yona kayivumanga, kodwa yasuka yayiphosela entolongweni, ize iwuhlawule umlandu.
“Nanso ɔno deɛ, wampene. Ɔmaa wɔde no kɔtoo afiase sɛ gye sɛ watua no ka a ɔde no no nyinaa ansa na ɔbɛma wɔagyaa no.
31 Kwathi abayizinceku kanye layo bebona izinto ezazenzakele badabuka kakhulu; beza babikela inkosi yabo konke okwakwenzekile.
Ɔkafoɔ yi nnamfo kɔkaa asɛm a asi no nyinaa kyerɛɛ ɔhene no.
32 Inkosi yayo yasiyibizela kiyo yathi kiyo: Wena nceku embi, ngakuxolela wonke lowomlandu, ngoba wangincenga;
“Ɔhene no teeɛ no, ɔfrɛɛ saa ɔpaani a ɔde ne ho kyɛɛ no no baa nʼanim. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Onipa bɔne ne otirimuɔdenfoɔ! Wosrɛɛ me no, mede ɛka kɛseɛ a wode me no nyinaa kyɛɛ wo;
33 ngabe lawe kawumhawukelanga yini omunye oyinceku kanye lawe, njengoba lami ngakuhawukela?
ɛnsɛ wo sɛ wo nso wohunu wo yɔnko mmɔbɔ sɛdeɛ mehunu wo mmɔbɔ no anaa?’
34 Inkosi yayo yasithukuthela yayinikela kubahlukuluzi, ize ihlawule konke okufaneleyo kuyo.
Ɔhene no de abufuo maa wɔde ɔpaani yi kɔtoo afiase kaa sɛ, gye sɛ watua ɛka a ɔde no no nyinaa ansa na ɔbɛma wɔayi no.
35 Uzakwenza njalo kini laye uBaba osezulwini, uba lingathetheleli lowo lalowo umfowenu iziphambeko zabo ngenhliziyo zenu.
“Saa ara na sɛ moamfa mo nuanom mfomsoɔ ankyɛ wɔn a, me ɔsoro Agya nso remfa mo mfomsoɔ nkyɛ mo.”
