Mateos 18
1 Leleꞌ naa, Yesus ana mana tungga nara reu ratane mbali E rae, “Amaꞌ! Seka monaeꞌ lenaꞌ mia basa Lamatualain atahori nara?”
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
2 Boe ma Yesus noꞌe nala anadꞌikiꞌ sa, de naririi e neu taladꞌa nara.
Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them
3 Basa ma Ana olaꞌ nae, “Rena malolole! Atahori mana nau masoꞌ dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ atahorin, ana musi ubꞌa dudꞌuꞌan dei, fo dadꞌi onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ nda mana nahine soꞌu-soꞌuꞌ aon sa.
and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 Huu atahori mana maloe-madꞌae ralaꞌ onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ ia, eni atahori monaeꞌ lenaꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ matan.
Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
5 Boe ma atahori mana simbo atahori anak onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ ia, huu namahere neu Au, na, atahori naa simbo Au ena.”
Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
6 Basa ma Yesus nafadꞌe se fai nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori tao anadꞌikiꞌ esa tungga dala salaꞌ, losa ana nda namahere Au sa ena, na besa-bꞌesa, o! Malole lenaꞌ atahori paꞌa fatu monaeꞌ sa, neu boton, fo neꞌetetenaꞌ e tasi rala neu.
but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
7 Raefafoꞌ ia memaꞌ mamana deꞌulakaꞌ, huu hambu dalaꞌ hetar mana tao atahori tudꞌa salaꞌ rala reu. Te atahori mana hambu sosoeꞌ seli, naeni atahori mana tao atahori laen tudꞌa salaꞌ.
“Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
8 Mete ma tao salaꞌ mendiꞌ limam, do, eim, na, nggero hendi e! Huu malole lenaꞌ sorga muu mendiꞌ a limam seri, do, eim seri, afiꞌ losa ara nggari nggo misiꞌ ai naraka rala muu mo limam ma eim ruꞌa se. (aiōnios g166)
If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 Mete ma, tao salaꞌ mendiꞌ matam, na edꞌo hendi e! Huu malole lenaꞌ masoꞌ sorga muu mo matam esaꞌ a, afiꞌ losa ara nggari nggo misiꞌ ai naraka muu mo matam ruꞌa se.” (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, 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 the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 Yesus olaꞌ fai nae, “Besa-bꞌesa, o! Afiꞌ losa hei miloe-midꞌae anadꞌikiꞌ onaꞌ ia. Huu Lamatuaꞌ aten mana sia sorga ranea se. Ma ate naa ra sudꞌi a reu fain sa, fo rafadꞌe soꞌal atahori ia ra dala nara neu Lamatualain mana sia sorga.
See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
11 Ama duꞌa malolole, te Au ae fee nekendandaaꞌ taꞌo ia: hambu atahori sa bibꞌi lombon natun esa. Faiꞌ sa ma, hambu bibꞌi lombo sa lao leli, tunggaꞌ a dalan. Naa, ama duꞌa mae manatadꞌa a musi tao saa? Neꞌo Ana lao hela bibꞌi lombon ka 99 nara sia leteꞌ fo neu sangga bibꞌi lombo ka esaꞌ mana mopoꞌ naa. Mete ma ana hambu baliꞌ ena, na ana namahoꞌo mete bibꞌi lombo ka esaꞌ fo ana nita baliꞌ naa lena mia bibꞌi lombo ka 99 fo nda mana mopoꞌ ra sa. [Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, uma fo ae fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori mana lao leliꞌ mia dala ndo-tetuꞌ a.]
For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
14 Dadꞌi mae akaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ sa mopo o, Au Ama ngga sia sorga nda namahoꞌo sa.”
Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Yesus olaꞌ fai nae, “Mete ma toronoom atahori mamahereꞌ ra tao salaꞌ neu nggo, na, musi muu mundaa mo e. Mete ma akaꞌ ruꞌa nggi, dei fo feꞌe mufadꞌe salan. Mete ma ana rena oꞌolam, na, hei ruꞌa nggi malole baliꞌ ena.
“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
16 Te mete ma ana nda nau rena nggo sa, na, muu moꞌe mala nonoom atahori esa do rua fo mimiloloꞌ mii. Mii mindaa mo atahori naa, fo olaꞌ mo e fai. Huu sia Lamatuaꞌ susura Meumaren nenesuraꞌ oi, ‘Sia dedꞌeat esa, musi hambu sakasii rua do telu mana olaꞌ ona esaꞌ, dei fo feꞌe na simbo dedꞌea-oꞌola nara.’
But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 Te mete ma ana nda feꞌe nau rena oꞌola mara sa, na, mii mifadꞌe jamaꞌat. Mete ma ana o nda feꞌe nau simbo no maloleꞌ jamaꞌat ra oꞌolan, sa, na, duꞌa mae ana onaꞌ atahori nda feꞌe nahine Lamatuaꞌ sa. Mete ma hokoꞌ, duꞌa mae deꞌulakan onaꞌ mana edꞌa bꞌea ra.
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
18 Misinedꞌa malolole Au oꞌola ngga ia, e! Saa fo hei ena-ai sia raefafoꞌ ia, naa Lamatuaꞌ ena-ai sia sorga ena. Ma saa fo hei fee isin sia raefafoꞌ ia, naa Lamatuaꞌ fee isin sia sorga ena boe.
Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
19 Ma Au ufadꞌe seluꞌ ae, mete ma hambu atahori rua sia hei hule-oꞌe no ralaꞌ esa, dei fo Au Ama ngga sia sorga fee se saa fo ara roꞌeꞌ a.
Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
20 Mete ma hambu atahori rua do telu raꞌabꞌue fo hule-oꞌe reu esa, huu sira, Au atahori nggara, na, Au o sia taladꞌa nara boe.”
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
21 Basa naa ma, Petrus nema natane Yesus nae, “Papa, au ae utane mbei. Mete ma toronoo ngga atahori mamahereꞌ tao salaꞌ nasafafali mbali au, na, au musi fee ambon neu e lao hira? Lao hitu, do?”
Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
22 Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ! Musi fee ambon neu e losa hitu lao hitu nulu, losa nda bisa ito reken mala sa ena.
Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
23 Ama musi tao tungga taꞌo naa, huu Lamatualain onaꞌ maneꞌ esa mana ito-reken pagau nara huta-buku nara.
Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Leleꞌ Ana ito-reken ma, ana denu atahorin esa neu noꞌe pagawen esa mana nahuta doiꞌ mbali e, losa juta-juta.
When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 Te pagawe a nda bae nala huta-bukun sa. Dadꞌi maneꞌ a parenda nae, ‘Mii seo atahori ia no basa sao ana nara, fo ara dadꞌi ate. Boe ma seo mibasaꞌ hata-heto nara, fo bae neu huta-buku nara.’
But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 Rena taꞌo naa, ma pagawe naa naloe aon de sendeꞌ lululanggan neu maneꞌ a matan, de kokoe e nae, ‘Aduu! Amaꞌ, e! Ama maneꞌ tulun fee fai mbei neu au dei do! Dei fo au fee baliꞌ basa huta nggara.’
The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
27 Maneꞌ a rena nala onaꞌ naa ma, ana kasian e. Boe ma ana nggaris memaꞌ hendi basa pagau naa huta nara. Boe ma ana mboꞌi hendi pagawe naa.
The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
28 Te leleꞌ pagawe naa dea neu, ma nandaa no nonoon esa nahuta e doiꞌ mbei. Boe ma ana toꞌu nala nonoon, de mese nggara boten ma bua e nae, ‘Weh! Faiꞌ ia bae huta ma leo!’
“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
29 Nonoon rena nala onaꞌ naa ma, ana naloe aon fo sendeꞌ lululanggan de kokoe e nae, ‘Aduu! toronooꞌ, e! Tulun fee fai mbei nema au dei! Dei fo au bae huta ngga.’
“So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
30 Te pagawe naa nae, ‘Nda bisa sa! Akaꞌ faiꞌ ia musi bae!’ Basa ma ana nendi nonoon bui rala neu, losa ana bae nabasaꞌ hutan.
He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.
31 Leleꞌ maneꞌ a pagawe laen nara rita saa fo manadadꞌiꞌ naa, ma rala nara susa. De basa ma reu rafadꞌe neu maneꞌ a.
So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
32 Maneꞌ a rena nala onaꞌ naa ma, ana noꞌe pagawe naa, de olaꞌ nae, ‘Hee, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ! Huu moꞌe Au kasian nggo, naa de au nggaris hendi basa huta-buku mara.
Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
33 Te taꞌo bee de nda muꞌena kasian neu nonoom sa, onaꞌ au kasian neu nggo ena to?’
Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
34 Maneꞌ a namue, losa ana denu atahori tao e bꞌui rala neu, fo ara poko-paru e, losa ana bae nabasaꞌ huta-buku nara.”
His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 Boe ma Yesus nateꞌe dudꞌuit na, ma nafadꞌe nae, “Naa, Au Ama ngga sia sorga boe o ito-reken onaꞌ naa boe. Dei fo Ana hukun nggi, mete ma ama nda liliiꞌ tebꞌe-tebꞌe hendiꞌ hei toronoo atahori mamahere mara sala-kilu nara sa.”
So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
