Matayu 18
1 Shipindi shilii wafundwa wamgenderiti Yesu kumkosiya, “Hashi, ndo gaa hakaweri mkulu Muufalumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu?”
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 Su Yesu kamshema mwana yumu, kamgolosiya pakati pawu,
And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them,
3 na kalonga, “Nukugambirani nakaka pamuwera ndiri gambira wana awa hapeni mwingiri nakamu Muufalumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Yakawera mkulu Muufalumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu ndo ulii yakalisulusiya mweni na kuwera gambira mwana ayu.
Whoever, then, will make himself as low as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Na yoseri yakamshemera mwana gambira ayu, kanshemera neni.
And whoever gives honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me:
6 “Yoseri yakamtenda yumu gwa wana wadidini awa katendi vidoda, iweri mbaka kwa muntu ulii kumtawalira musingu mwakuwi lwala na kumwasira mubahari.
But whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a great stone fixed to his neck, and to come to his end in the deep sea.
7 Shondi pasipanu toziya ya vintu vyavimtenda muntu katendi vidoda! Vintu avi mpaka vilawiri, kumbiti shondi kwa ulii yakayijega kwawomberi!
A curse is on the earth because of trouble! for it is necessary for trouble to come; but unhappy is that man through whom the trouble comes.
8 “Handa liwoku lyaku ama ligulu lyaku palikutenda gutendi vidoda, gulidumuli na gulyasi kutali! Iherepa nentu kwingira muukomu pota na liwoku ama ligulu kuliku kuwera na mawoku goseri na magulu goseri na wakwasili mumotu yagutiya ndiri mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
And if your hand or your foot is a cause of trouble, let it be cut off and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with the loss of a hand or a foot than, having two hands or two feet, to go into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 Handa lisu lyaku palikutenda gutendi vidoda, guliwusiyi! Iherepa nentu muntu kwingira muukomu wa mashaka goseri paguwera na lisu limu kuliku kuwera na masu goseri na wakwasili mumotu gwa Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out, and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 “Mulikali weri namumbeziya yumu gwa wadidini awa. Nukugambirani, wantumintumi wawu wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, shipindi shoseri wapalongolu pa Tati gwangu kakumpindi.
Let it not seem to you that one of these little ones is of no value; for I say to you that in heaven their angels see at all times the face of my Father in heaven.
11 Mwana gwa Muntu kiziti kulopoziya shilii shashiyagamiriti.
12 “Mulihola hashi muntu pakawera na wakondolu miya na yumu pakayagamira hakatendi hashashi? Hakawaleki walii lilongu tisa na tisa palugongu na kugenda kumsakula ulii yakagamiriti.
What would you say now? if a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone wandering away, will he not let the ninety-nine be, and go to the mountains in search of the wandering one?
13 Pakamwona, nukugambirani nakaka hakamnemeleri ulii kondolu yumu yakagamiriti kuliku mlilongu tisa na tisa yawagamiliti ndiri.
And if he comes across it, truly I say to you, he has more joy over it than over the ninety-nine which have not gone out of the way.
14 Ntambu ira ayi Tati gwenu gwa kumpindi kafira ndiri ata yumu gwa wadidini kagamiri.
Even so it is not the pleasure of your Father in heaven for one of these little ones to come to destruction.
15 “Handa mlongu gwaku pakakukoseya, gumgenderi gwakamberiziyi. Gutendi hangu pamuwera gweka yenu. Pakakupikanira hagumpati mlongu gwaku.
And if your brother does wrong to you, go, make clear to him his error between you and him in private: if he gives ear to you, you have got your brother back again.
16 Kumbiti pakakupikanira ndiri, gumtoli muntu yumu ama wawili pamuhera na gwenga, su muyoweri kwa wapitawu wawili ama watatu, Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalembitwi.
But if he will not give ear to you, take with you one or two more, that by the lips of two or three witnesses every word may be made certain.
17 Na pakashipikanira ndiri ashi, gutakuli kila shintu mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu. Upeleru pakashipikanira ndiri shipinga ashi, gumloli gambira muntu yakamumana ndiri Mlungu ama mtola kodi.
And if he will not give ear to them, let it come to the hearing of the church: and if he will not give ear to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax-farmer.
18 “Su nukugambirani woseri, shamlewelera pasipanu shileweleritwi kala kumpindi kwa Mlungu na shamulekeziya pasipanu shilekeziwitwi kala kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
Truly I say to you, Whatever things are fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.
19 “Nukugambirani kayi, wawili wenu pasipanu pawajimilirana kumluwa Mlungu shoseri, Tati gwangu gwa kumpindi hakawatenderi shitwatila ashi.
Again, I say to you, that if two of you are in agreement on earth about anything for which they will make a request, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
20 Wantu wawili ama watatu pawaliwona pamuhera kumluwa Mlungu mulitawu lyaneni, hanweri pamuhera na womberi.”
For where two or three are come together in my name, there am I among them.
21 Shakapanu Peteru kamgenderiti Yesu na kumkosiya, “Mtuwa, hashi mlongu gwangu pakankoseya numulekiziyi mala ninga? Hashi, mala saba?”
Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? till seven times?
22 Yesu kamwankula, “Ndala, mala saba ndiri kumbiti miya msheshi na lilongu tisa,
Jesus says to him, I say not to you, Till seven times; but, Till seventy times seven.
23 toziya Ufalumi wa kumpindi ulifana na ntambu ayi. Kuweriti na mfalumi yumu yakafiriti kulola mawalanga ga wantumintumi wakuwi.
For this reason the kingdom of heaven is like a king, who went over his accounts with his servants.
24 Pakanjiti kutenda hangu, wamjegera muntu yumu yakaweriti wankumshonga mpiya elufu lilongu.
And at the start, one came to him who was in his debt for ten thousand talents.
25 Ntumintumi ulii kaweriti ndiri na mpiya zitosha zya kulipa uwanda wakuwi, su mfalumi kalagaliriti kuwera yomberi wamuwuzi gambira ntumintumi pamuhera na mdala gwakuwi na wana wakuwi na vyoseri vyakawera navi su kalipi uwanda.
And because he was not able to make payment, his lord gave orders for him, and his wife, and his sons and daughters, and all he had, to be given for money, and payment to be made.
26 Ntumintumi ulii kasuntamala palongolu pa mfalumi na kamluwiti, ‘Gunheperi huti, hanukulipi kila shintu!’
So the servant went down on his face and gave him worship, saying, Lord, give me time to make payment and I will give you all.
27 Mtuwa gwa ntumintumi ulii kamwoneriti lusungu, su kamlekeziya uwanda ulii na kamleka kagendi zakuwi.
And the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, let him go, and made him free of the debt.
28 “Ntumintumi ulii pakawukiti, kaliwoniti na yumu gwa wantumintumi wayaguwi yakaweriti kankumshonga mpiya miya yimu. Su kamkamula yomberi na kanjiti kumkaba singu pakamgambira, ‘Gunipi shilii shagunkopiti!’
But that servant went out, and meeting one of the other servants, who was in debt to him for one hundred pence, he took him by the throat, saying, Make payment of your debt.
29 Ntumintumi myaguwi kamsuntamalira na kamluwa pakalonga, ‘Gunheperi wuti, hanukulipi uwanda waku woseri!’
So that servant went down on his face, requesting him and saying, Give me time and I will make payment to you.
30 Kumbiti yomberi kajimiriti ndiri, su kamtatira mushibetubetu mpaka pakalipa lideni lilii.
And he would not: but went and put him into prison till he had made payment of the debt.
31 Wantumintumi wayaguwi pawawoniti vitwatira vyavilawiliti, wahinginikiti nentu na wagenditi kumgambira Mfalumi kila shintu.
So when the other servants saw what was done they were very sad, and came and gave word to their lord of what had been done.
32 Mfalumi kamshema ntumintumi ulii na kamgambira, ‘Gwenga gwa ntumintumi gufaa ndiri! Neni nukulegeziya toziya gunduwiti nukulegiziyi.
Then his lord sent for him and said, You evil servant; I made you free of all that debt, because of your request to me:
33 Gufiruwitwi gwenga gumwoneri lusungu ntumintumi muyagu ntambu yanukuwoniriti lusungu gwenga.’
Was it not right for you to have mercy on the other servant, even as I had mercy on you?
34 Mfalumi kakalariti nentu, kamlaviya ntumintumi ayu wamwazibu na kumtatira mushibetubetu mpaka pakalipiti uwanda woseri.”
And his lord was very angry, and put him in the hands of those who would give him punishment till he made payment of all the debt.
35 Na Yesu kamaliriti kwa kulonga, “Ndo Tati gwangu gwa kumpindi hakawatenderani ntambu ira ayi kila muntu pakati penu pakamlegeziya ndiri mlongu gwakuwi kulawa mumoyu mwakuwi.”
So will my Father in heaven do to you, if you do not everyone, from your hearts, give forgiveness to his brother.
