Mathayo 18
1 Isala zezyo zezyo abhanafunzi bhenza wha Yesu na humozye, “Yu nanu waligosi huwo mwene wa humwanya?”
On the same occasion the disciples came to Jesus, and asked him, “Who is really the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 U Yesu akwizya umwana udodo, ameha pakasi yawo,
Jesus called a little child to him, and placed it in the middle of them, and then said,
3 na yanje, “Lyoli ihumbawozya, nkagamtubu na bhe hansi abhana abhadodo sagamwayiweza hawhinjile huwomwene wa Ngolobhi.
“I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven at all.
4 Nesho wowonti wawhiha hansi umwana udodo, umuntu hansi oyo gosi huwomwene wa humwanya.
Therefore, anyone who will humble themselves like this child – that person will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Na wowonti wahuposhele umwana udodo whitawa lyane ahumposhela nene.
And anyone who, for the sake of my name, welcomes even one little child like this, is welcoming me.
6 Ila wowonti wasababisya uwana kati ya weka abha bhabhahuneteha asaliti, yayibha shinza wha muntu oyo iwe igosi lya syela lipinywe msingo yakwe, na hudwinizye mwidimi li bahari.
But, if anyone puts temptation in the way of one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be best for them to be sunk in the depths of the sea with a great millstone hung around their neck.
7 Aheli honse husababu yisala izya viswe huje saga hulini budi husala ezyo awhenze, ila ahele whakwe muntu ola isala ezyo zibhawhenze kwa ajili yamwene!
Alas for the world because of such temptations! There cannot but be temptations but sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!
8 Nkesho inyobhe yaho au inama lyaho nkalyasabisizya aviswe lidumule na litaje uhuli nawe. Shinza hani whaho awe ahinjile huwomi luli bila nyobhe au shilema, kuliko atagwe mwimoto wiwila uli ni nyobhe zyonti au amanama gonti. (aiōnios g166)
“If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off, and throw it away. It would be better for you to enter life maimed or lame, than to have both hands, or both feet, and be thrown into the fire that never goes out. (aiōnios g166)
9 Nkesho iliso lyaho livisizye, lisenye na ulitaje uhutali nawe. Shinza hani huliwe awe uinjile huwoni ni liso lyeka kuliko ataywe mumoto wiwila ali na maso gonti. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to sin, take it out, and throw it away. It would be better for you to enter the life with only one eye, than to have both eyes and be thrown into the fires of Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
10 Enyi aje msanzalau weka wabha dodo ebha. Kwa maana ihumbabhawozya aje humwanya huli antumi abhene insiku zyonti bhawhenya sha Baba wane wali humwanya.
Beware of despising one of these little ones, for in heaven, I tell you, their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
11 (Simisizya: Amazu gagaloleha hansi gimsitali gwa 11, “Kwa kuwa umwana wa Adamu ahenzele awhaule shila shasha tejile” Sagagaloleshe mnakala nyinza zihale).
12 Msabhanshi? Nkesho umuntu alini ngole mya moja, na yeka yawo yatega, eshi sagabhahuzileshe tisini na tisa mwigamba na abhale afwate yeka yitejile?
“What think you? If a person owns a hundred sheep, and one of them strays, will the person not leave the ninety-nine on the hills, and go and search for the one that is straying?
13 Na nkayaga, lyoli ihumbawozya, asongwa kuliko zila tisini na tisa zyasaga zitejile.
And, if they succeed in finding it, I tell you that they rejoice more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine which did not stray.
14 Shesho shesho, saga lugano lwa Baba wenyu wa humwanya aje weka wa dodo ebha ateketele.
So, too, it is the will of my Father who is in heaven that not one of these little ones should be lost.
15 Nkesho uholo waho avisizye, bhalaga, unolesye ishida yeleho awe numene lyali mwene. Nkabhahutejelezye, unzabhe umwezizye uholo waho.
“If your brother or sister does wrong, go to them and convince them of their fault when you are both alone. If they listen to you, you have won them over.
16 Ila nkasagabhahutejelezye, mweje, uholo weka au uwabhele hani pamo nawe, humalomu gasimisizi bhabhele au bhatatu kila izu liwezizye asimisizwe.
But, if they do not listen to you, take with you one or two others, so that on the evidence of two or three witnesses, every word may be put beyond dispute.
17 Na nkasholonya ahubhatejelezye wozi ishibhanza iswala elyo, nkesho asholanya tena ashitejelezye ishibhanza, eshi na abhe hansi umuntu upagani na unsonkolozya kodi.
If they refuse to listen to them, speak to the church; and, if they also refuse to listen to the church, treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax-gatherer.
18 Lyoli ihumbawozya, shoshonti shila shamwayipinya panse na humwanya shayipinywa. Na shoshonti shamwa yisatula panse na humwanya shayisatulwa.
“I tell you, all that you forbid on earth will be held in heaven to be forbidden, and all that you allow on earth will be held in heaven to be allowed.
19 Eshi ihumbawozya aje abhantu bhabhele pakashi yenyu nkabhetehana pamwanya yiswala lyo lyonti panse lya bhasaya, elyo u Baba wane wahumwanya ayihuliwomba.
Again, I tell you that, if but two of you on earth agree as to what they will pray for, whatever it be, it will be granted them by my Father who is in heaven.
20 Nkabhabha bhabhele au bhatatu wawongene peka whitawa lyane, ene endi pakasi yawo.
For where two or three have come together in my name, I am present with them.”
21 Tena u Petro ayenza nahumozye Yesu, “Gosi, halenga uhole wane avwisye nane insamehe? Hata mala saba?”
Then Peter came up, and said to Jesus, “Master, how often am I to forgive someone who wrongs me? As many as seven times?”
22 U Yesu amozya, “Sigiehuwozya mala saba, ila hata sabini mala saba.
But Jesus answered, “Not seven times, but seventy times seven.
23 Kwa sababu eyo awomwene wa humwanya ni sawa nu mwene omo wahanzaga asahihi sye ihesabu afume whaboyi bhakwe.
Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Lwahanda asahihisye ihesabu, uboyi weka bhaneta whamwene wali ahudayi italanta elfu kumi.
When he had begun to do so, one of them was brought to him who owed him ten thousand bags of gold;
25 Afwatanaje sagaali ni dala lyalipe, ugosi wakwe alajizizye akazwe, onse wakwe pamo na bhana bhakwe na hantu honti hali naho, na malipo gafanyishe.
and, as he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold towards the payment of the debt, together with his wife, and his children, and everything that he had.
26 Esho uboyi agwiye, akhoma amafugamo whilongo lela lyakwe ayanga, 'Gosi, ubhe na golele pamo nane, na imbahulipe kila hantu.'
The servant threw himself down on the ground before him and said ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’
27 Esho ugosi wola uboyi, afwatanaje asukumwi we hani ninkombo, anesheye na husamehe iliga elyo.
The master was moved with compassion; and he let him go, and forgave him the debt.
28 Ila uboyi ola asogoye na humwaje weka kati ya boyi bhakwe, wali ahudayi idinali mia. Akwesa, abida whimilo na humozye, 'Ndipe shila shihudai.
But, on going out, that same servant came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. Seizing him by the throat, he said ‘Pay what you owe me.’
29 ILa ola uboyi uwamwawo agwiye nahu nsisitizye hani, ayanjile, 'Ubhe nugolele nane, imbahulipe.'
His fellow servant threw himself on the ground and begged for mercy. ‘Have patience with me,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you.’
30 Ila uboyi ola wawhande akhanile. Hubadala yakwe, abhalile na huntaje mwijela, hadi lwayihunipa shila shahudayi.
But the other would not, but went and put him in prison until he should pay his debt.
31 Na lwabhalola aboyi bhamwawo shila shishifumiye. Bhasononeshwe hani. Bhahenzele na humozye, ugosi wawo shila hantu hatokeye.
When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and went to their master and laid the whole matter before him.
32 Ndiyo ola ugosi wa boyi ola akwizizye, na humozye, awe boyi mibhi nasamehile ane iliga lyane lyonti kwa sababu wandabhile hani.
So the master sent for the servant, and said to him ‘You wicked servant! When you begged me for mercy, I forgave you the whole of that debt.
33 Ashi! Sagawahanziwaga abhe ninkombo wha boyi abhamwenyu, hansi ane shanaloleye enkombo awe?
Shouldn’t you, also, to have shown mercy to your fellow servant, just as I showed mercy to you?’
34 Ugosi wakwe avitilwe na humeshe whabhala bhabhayemva hadi lwailipa ishipimo shonti shadayiwaga.
Then his master, in anger, handed him over to the jailers, until he should pay the whole of his debt.
35 Esho shesho Ubaba wane wa humwanya shaihubhawombela, nkesho kila weka wenyu saga ayihusamehe uholo wakwe afume mmoyo genyu.”
So, also, will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each one of you forgives his brother or sister from your heart.”
