Mateyo 18
1 Pacindi copeleco beshikwiya ba Yesu balesa kulyendiye nekumwipusheti, “Inga niyani eshakabe mukulene wapita bonse mu Bwami bwa kwilu?”
The same time the disciples came vnto Iesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen?
2 Yesu walakuwa mwana ne kumwimanika pakati pabo,
And Iesus called a litle childe vnto him, and set him in the mids of them,
3 ne kwambeti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, mwabula kusanduka, ne kubeti mwana uyu, nteti mukengile mu Bwami bwa kwilu pimbi.
And sayd, Verely I say vnto you, except ye be conuerted, and become as litle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen.
4 Ecebo cakendi muntu uliyense lalicepeshenga mbuli mwana uyu, epeloyo emukulene wapita, mu Bwami bwa kwilu.
Whosoeuer therefore shall humble himselfe as this litle childe, the same is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen.
5 Kayi uliyense latambulunga mwana ulyeti uyu pacebo cakame, endiye kayi lantambulunga.”
And whosoeuer shall receiue one such litle childe in my name, receiueth me.
6 “Uliyense lapeshengeti umo wabana bakute lushomo muli njame kwambeti bapuntwe, celela kuba cena kumusungilila cilibwe camwampelo munshingo ne kumuwala mulwenje.
But whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones which beleeue in me, it were better for him, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Malele kubantu bapacishi capanshi pano, cebo cakufula kwabwipishi, Naboyo bwipishi nkabwelela kubula kuboneka, nomba malele kumuntu uyo lapeshengeti banendi bapuntwe.
Wo be vnto the world because of offences: for it must needes be that offences shall come, but wo be to that man by whome the offence commeth.
8 “Lino na cikasa cakobe, nambi mwendo wakobe, ukute kukwipisha, kotimbula utaye, caina kuya kwingila ku buyumi koli watimbuka cikasa, nambi mwendo, kupita kuwalwa kumulilo utapu kokute makasa onse, nambi myendo yonse ibili. (aiōnios g166)
Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foote cause thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life, halt, or maimed, then hauing two hands, or two feete, to be cast into euerlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 Kayi na linso lyakobe lilakwipishinga, likolobolemo ulitaye, caina kuya kwingila ku buyumi kokute linso limo'wa, kupita kuwalwa mu Gehena kokute menso abili.” (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, then hauing two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 “Cenjelani, kamutanyansha umo wa bana batwanike aba, cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, bangelo bakwilu nkobali cindi conse pamenso a Bata bakwilu.”
See that ye despise not one of these litle ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels alwayes behold the face of my Father which is in heauen.
11 Mwana Muntu walesa kupulusha bantu bataika.
For the Sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost.
12 “Inga mwinseconi, na muntu kakute mbelele mwanda umo, imo itaika, sena nkelela kushiya mbelele shisa makumi asanu, ne ana, ne na shimbi shisanu ne shina mumilundu, ne kuya kulangaula imo isa ilataiki?
How thinke ye? If a man haue an hundreth sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doeth he not leaue ninetie and nine, and go into the mountaines, and seeke that which is gone astray?
13 Ndamwambilinga cakubinga kwambeti, aicana ukute kusekelela kupita kusekelela ne shisa shilabulu kutaika.
And if so be that he finde it, verely I say vnto you, he reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray:
14 Nicimo cimo Ba meshenu bakwilu nkabasuni kwambeti umo wabana batwanike aba ataike?”
So is it not ye wil of your Father which is in heauen, that one of these litle ones should perish.
15 “Na mwanse wakobe lakwipishili koya kulyendiye, wenga umuleshe cilubo cakendi, mubandike pambali mobabili, na mulanyumfwana ekwambeti ulamubweshe munshila,
Moreouer, if thy brother trespasse against thee, goe and tell him his fault betweene thee and him alone: if he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother.
16 Nomba na ubula kukunyumfwila, umantepo umo nambi babili, nambi batatu. kwambeti makani nakashininkishiwe ne bukamboni bwa bantu babili nambi batatu.
But if he heare thee not, take yet with thee one or two, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses euery worde may be confirmed.
17 Na naboyo ubula kubanyumfwila, wambileko bamubungano. Kayi na ubula kunyumfwila bamubungano, komubonangeti muntu wamishobo naimbi, nambi shimisonko.”
And if he refuse to heare them, tell it vnto the Church: and if he refuse to heare the Church also, let him be vnto thee as an heathen man, and a Publicane.
18 “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, ciliconse ncoti mukasunge panshi pano, nicikasungwe kwilu, kayi ciliconse nceti mukasungulule panshi pano, nicikasungululwe kwilu.
Verely I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye bind on earth, shall be bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer ye loose on earth, shalbe loosed in heauen.
19 Kayi cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, mwanyumfwana mobabili pacishi capanshi, pakusenga cintu ciliconse, Bata bakwilu nibakamwinshile.
Againe, verely I say vnto you, that if two of you shall agree in earth vpon any thing, whatsoeuer they shall desire, it shall be giuen them of my Father which is in heauen.
20 Pali babili, nambi batatu balabungana mu Lina lyakame, ame mpondi pakati pabo.”
For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the mids of them.
21 Popelapo Petulo walesa kuli Yesu, ne kumwipusheti, “Nkambo, na mukwetu kapitilishowa kunjipishila, ngandimulekelela tunkanda tungaye? Sena nganshikisha tunkanda tusanu ne tubili?”
Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, howe oft shall my brother sinne against me, and I shall forgiue him? vnto seuen times?
22 Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Sena ndambangowa tunkanda tusanu ne tubili, sobwe, nsombi tunkanda makumi asanu ne abili kufulisha tunkanda tusanu ne tubili.”
Iesus said vnto him, I say not to thee, Vnto seuen times, but, Vnto seuentie times seuen times.
23 Lino Bwami bwa kwilu tubwelanishe cisa. Palikuba mwami uyo walakuwa basebenshi bakendi kwambeti, abone cena nkongole nshobalikukute.
Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine King, which would take an account of his seruants.
24 Mpwalatatika kubasesa, kwalacanika musebenshi naumbi walikukute nkongole ya mali angi akwana bina myanda myanda.
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him, which ought him ten thousand talents.
25 Mpwalalilwa kubwesha nkongole, Mwami walambeti, musebenshi usa aulishiwe ne mukashendi ne banabendi, ne bintu byonse mbyalikukute, kwambeti nkongole isa ipwe.
And because he had nothing to pay, his Lord commanded him to be solde, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and the dette to be payed.
26 Musebenshi usa walasuntama nekufulungana panshi pamenso pa mwami ne kukombeleleti, “Kamupembelelako pang'ana ninkabweshe nkongole yonse.”
The seruant therefore fell downe, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, refraine thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Mwami usa walanyumfwila luse, ne kumulekelela nkongole yonse, ne kumusuminisheti, ayenga.
Then that seruants Lord had compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the dette.
28 Nomba uyu musebenshi mpwalapula, walakumanya musebenshi munendi walikumukutile nkongole ya mali akwana mwanda umo. Walamwikata mwabukalu ne kumutinga panshingo, ne kumwambileti, “Bwesha nkongole isa!”
But when the seruant was departed, hee found one of his felow seruants, which ought him an hundred pence, and he layde hands on him, and thratled him, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 Musebenshi munendi usa walaliwisha panshi kumyendo yakendi ne kumukombeleleti, Kamupembelelako pang'ana, ninkabweshe nkongole njonkute kuli njamwe.
Then his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Refraine thine anger towards me, and I will pay thee all.
30 Nendi walakana kumulekelela, walamusungisha mujele, kushikila akabweshe nkongole.
Yet he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the dette.
31 Basebenshi nabambi mpobalabona calenshika, balepilwa kwine. Neco balaya kumwambila mwami bintu byonse.
And when his other felowe seruants sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came, and declared vnto their Lord all that was done.
32 Mwami usa walamukuwa, ne kumwambileti, “Musebenshi waipa obe! Ame ndalakulekelela nkongole yonse mpowalankombelela.
Then his Lord called him vnto him, and sayd to him, O euil seruant, I forgaue thee all that dette, because thou prayedst me.
33 Sena nkowanga welela kumwinshila nkumbo ne kumulekelela munobe mbuli ame ncondakwinshila nkumbo ne kukulekelela?”
Oughtest not thou also to haue had pitie on thy fellowe seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?
34 Mwami usa walakalala, neco walamuwala mujele kwambeti bakamupenshe, kushikla akabweshe nkongole isa,
So his Lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentours, till he should pay all that was due to him.
35 Yesu walapwisha kwamba pakwambeti “Ici encoti bakense Bata bakwilu kuli umo ne umo, uyo utalekelele munendi ne moyo wonse.”
So likewise shall mine heauenly Father doe vnto you, except ye forgiue from your hearts, eche one to his brother their trespasses.
