Matäus 18
1 NI auer ota tounpadak kan poto dong Iesus potoan ong: Iaduen is me pan lapalap nan wein nanlang?
In that hour the disciples approached Jesus, and said: Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 Iesus lao kotin molipeido kisin seri amen, ap kotin kotiki ong nan pung arail,
And Jesus called a child, and placed him in the midst of them,
3 Masani: Melel I indai ong komail, ma komail sota pan wukila, wiala song en kisin seri, komail sota pan kak ko ong nan wein nanlang.
and said: Verily I say to you, that unless ye be converted, and become like children, ye will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 Ari, meamen pan kasapwiledi pein i, dueta kisin seri men et, i me pan lapalap nan wein nanlang.
He therefore that shall humble himself like this child, he will be great in the kingdom of heaven.
5 O ma amen apwali kisin seri men due met ni ad ai, i me kin apwali ia.
And he that shall receive in my name one who is like to this child, he receiveth me.
6 A meamen me pan kamakar amen ir, me tikitik, me poson ia, a mau ong, takai en plaua eu en sali ong tapin wor a, ap kamopela nan madau wasa me lol.
And whosoever shall stumble one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were suspended to his neck, and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
7 Suedi ong sappa pweki a men kamakar akan, Ari so, men kamakar akan udan mia; suedi ong aramas o, me men kamakar pan tapi sang ia.
Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! For it must be, that stumbling blocks come. But, woe to the person by whose means the stumbling blocks come.
8 A ma apali en pa om de apali en nä om pan kamakar uk, lepuke sang, o kase sang uk, pwe a mau ong uk ko ong maur ni om dangidang de sikilikil, sang om pa de nä pokon mia, ap ko ong kisiniai soutuk. (aiōnios g166)
If then thy hand or thy foot make thee stumble, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is good for thee to enter into life lame or mutilated, and not that, with two hands or two feet, thou fall into eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 O ma apali en mas om pan kamakar uk, waikada sang o kase sang uk, pwe a mau ong uk, ko ong maur ni om mas pali, sang mas om pokon mia ap lokidokila nan iai en pweleko. (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye make thee stumble, pluck it out and cast it from thee: for it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, and not that, with two eyes, thou fall into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 Kalaka, pwe komail der mamaleki amen tikitik pukat; pwe I indai ong komail, me arail tounlang kan, me mi nanlang, kin ariri Sam ai, me kotikot nanlang.
See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, That their angels in heaven, at all times, are beholding the face of my Father who is in heaven.
11 Pwe Nain aramas kodon dorela, me salongalar akan.
For the Son of man, hath come to give life to that which was lost.
12 Da me komail lamelame, ma aramas amen, naineki sip epuki, a amen irail pan salongala, a so pan pwilikidi duekduamen pon nana, ap kola raparapaki me salongala?
How doth it appear to you? If a man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray, will he not leave the ninety and nine in the mountains, and go and seek the one that strayed?
13 A ma a pan diar, melel I indai ong komail, a pan peren kida, me men en sang duekduamen, me sota salongalar.
And if he find it, verily I say to you, that he rejoiceth in it, more than in the ninety and nine that did not stray.
14 Iduen Sam omail, me kotikot nanlang, sota kotin men, amen kisin seri pukat en salongala.
Just so, it is not the pleasure of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
15 A ma ri om ol wia dip ong uk, en kelep kila i, kapung ong i dip a; ma a pan rong uk, nan koe kasapaledo ri om.
Moreover, if thy brother commit an offence against thee, go and admonish him between thee and him only. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 A ma a sota pan rong uk, ap ukada amen de riamen, pwe meakaros en mi ren saunkadede riamen de silimen.
But if he hear thee not, take with thee one or two, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 A ma a kang rong irail, ap kaireki momodisou, a ma a pil kang rong momodisou, ap wia kin i men liki o saunopwei men.
And if he will also not hear them, tell it to the church. And if he will also not hear the church, let him be to thee as a publican and a heathen.
18 Melel I indai ong komail, me komail pan saliedi nin sappa, pan salidi nanlang, o me komail pan lapwada nin sappa, pan lapwada nanlang.
Verily I say to you, That whatever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatever ye shall unbind on earth, shall be unbound in heaven.
19 I pil indai ong komail, ma riamen nin sappa pan minimin pene ni meakot, me re men poeki, a pan pwai ong ira sang Sam ai, me kotikot nanlang.
Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing that they shall ask, it shall be to them from my Father who is in heaven.
20 Pwe wasa kis, me riamen de silimen pokon pena ni ad ai, i wasa I kin mi nan pung arail.
For where two or three are assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21 Petrus ap kai dong i potoan ong: Maing, pan pak depa i en makeki ong ri ai ol o, me wia dip ong ia? A itar ma a pan me isepak?
Then Cephas approached him, and said to him: My Lord, how many times, if my brother commit offence against me, shall I forgive him? up to seven times?
22 Iesus kotin masani ong i: I indai ong uk, kaidin isepak eta, a pan pak isu wad iseisok.
Jesus said to him: I do not say to thee, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
23 I me wein nanlang rasong nanmarki amen, me pan kapukapung na ladu kan.
Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like to some king, who wished to have a reckoning with his servants.
24 A ni a tapiada kapukapung, amen ap wisike dong i, me pwaipwandeki talent nen.
And when he began to reckon, they brought to him one debtor of ten thousand talents.
25 A ni sota a men pwain, a monsap ap masanier, me a pan netila, o a paud, o na seri kan, o karos, me a aneki, pwen pwainda.
And as he had not wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, him and his wife and his children, and all that he possessed, and payment to be made.
26 A ladu o ap poridi mo a pongi, potoan ong: Maing kom kotin kanongama ong ia, i pan pwain ong komui karos.
And that servant fell down and worshipped him, and said: My lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee the whole.
27 A monsap en ladu o ap pokela, ap lapwada o makeki ong i a pwaipwand.
And his lord had compassion on that servant, and set him free, and forgave him his debt.
28 A ladu ota ap koieila, diaradar kis a ladu amen, me pwaipwand ong i denar epuki; i ari koledi i, padik pena tapin wor a indada: Kapungala, ma om pwaipwand mia.
Then that servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants who owed him a hundred denarii. And he laid hold of him and choked him, and said to him: Pay me what thou owest me.
29 Ladu ap poridi mo a, poeki indada: Kom kotin kanongama ong ia, i pan pwain ong komui.
And that fellow-servant fell at his feet and entreated him, and said: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee the whole.
30 A a kang, ap koieila, kasedi ong nan imateng lao a kapungala a pwaipwand.
But he would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay him what he owed him.
31 A kis a ladu kan lao kilanger me wiauier, rap mauk kaualap, koieila kaireki arail monsap karos, me wiauier.
And when their fellow-servants saw what was done, it grieved them much; and they came and made known to their lord all that had occurred.
32 A monsap ap ekere dong i, masani ong i: Koe meid ladu sued amen! I make ki ong uk er om pwaipwand karos pweki om poeki re i.
Then his lord called him, and said to him: Thou vile servant! Lo, I forgave thee that whole debt, because thou entreatedst of me:
33 Menda koe sota kadek ong ri om ladu, duen i kin kadek ong uk er?
oughtest not thou also to have compassion on thy fellow-servant, as I had compassion on thee?
34 A monsap ap makar kidar o pangalang i ren saun kalokolok lao a kapungalar a pwaipwand karusia.
And his lord was angry, and delivered him over to the torturers, until he should pay all he owed him.
35 Iduen Sam ai nanlang, pan pil wia ong komail, ma komail sota pan makeki sang nan mongiong omail ong ri omail.
So will my Father who is in heaven do to you, unless ye from your heart forgive each his brother his offence.
