Mateo 18
1 Ɛbɛyɛ saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, Yesu asuafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, wɔn mu hwan na ɔbɛyɛ kɛseɛ Ɔsoro Ahennie no mu?
Ngalesosikhathi abafundi beza kuJesu babuza bathi, “Ngubani omkhulu kulabo bonke embusweni wezulu na?”
2 Yesu frɛɛ abɔfra ketewa bi de no bɛgyinaa wɔn mfimfini.
Wabiza umntwana omncinyane wamisa phakathi kwabo.
3 Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Merema mo ate aseɛ sɛ, gye sɛ motwe mo ho firi mo bɔne ho, na moyɛ sɛ mmɔfra nketewa, na mode mo ho ma Onyankopɔn ansa na mobɛtumi akɔ Ɔsoro Ahennie no mu.
Wasesithi, “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, ngaphandle kokuba liguquke libe njengabantwana abancinyane, kalisoze lafa langena embusweni wezulu.
4 Enti, obiara a ɔbɛbrɛ ne ho ase sɛ abɔfra yi no, ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ ɔkɛseɛ koraa Ɔsoro Ahennie mu.
Ngakho lowo ozithobayo njengomntwana lo nguye omkhulu kulabo bonke embusweni wezulu.
5 Na mo mu biara a, me enti ɔbɛgye abɔfra ketewa biara te sɛ yei no, wagye me nso aba ne nkyɛn.
Njalo lowo owamukela umntwana omncane njengalo ebizweni lami wamukela mina.”
6 “Enti, sɛ obi to mmɔfra nketewa a wɔgye me die yi bi suntidua a, ɛyɛ ma no sɛ anka wɔde ɛboɔ duruduru bɛsɛn ne kɔn mu ato no atwene ɛpo mu.
“Nxa umuntu ekhubekisa oyedwa walaba abancinyane abakholwa kimi ukuthi enze isono, kungabangcono kuye ukuthi kulengiswe entanyeni yakhe inkalakatha yembokodo yokuchola agaluliswe enzikini yolwandle.
7 Ewiase nnue wɔ ne suntiduatoɔ ho! Suntiduatoɔ wɔ hɔ deɛ, nanso deɛ ɛnam ne so bɛba no nnue.
Maye kuwo umhlaba ngenxa yezinto ezenza abantu benze isono! Izinto ezinjalo zivele ziyafika kodwa maye kulowomuntu ezifika ngaye!
8 Enti, sɛ wo nsa anaa wo nan ma woyɛ bɔne a, twa na to twene. Ɛyɛ ma wo sɛ wode dɛm bɛkɔ ɔsoro sene sɛ wɔde wo onipa mu bɛto ogyatannaa mu. (aiōnios g166)
Nxa isandla sakho loba unyawo lwakho kukwenzisa isono, kuqume ukulahle. Kungcono kuwe ukuba ungene ekuphileni uyingini kumbe ugogekile kulokuba lezandla zombili kumbe inyawo zombili uphoselwe emlilweni ongapheliyo. (aiōnios g166)
9 Na sɛ wʼani ma woyɛ bɔne a, tu na to twene. Ɛyɛ ma wo sɛ wode ani korɔ bɛkɔ ɔsoro sene sɛ wowɔ ani mmienu na wɔde wo bɛto amanehunu egya mu. (Geenna g1067)
Nxa ilihlo lakho likwenzisa isono, likopole ulilahle. Kungcono kuwe ukungena ekuphileni ulelihlo elilodwa kulokuba lamehlo amabili kodwa uphoselwe esihogweni somlilo.” (Geenna g1067)
10 “Monhwɛ yie na moammu saa mmɔfra nketewa yi mu baako koraa animtia. Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, ɔsoro hɔ no, wɔn abɔfoɔ wɔ mʼagya nkyɛn daa.
“Nanzelelani ukuthi lingeyisi lamunye walaba abancinyane. Ngoba ngilitshela ukuthi izingilosi zabo zezulu zihlezi zibona ubuso bukaBaba ezulwini. [
11 Na me, Agyenkwa no, mebaeɛ sɛ merebɛgye wɔn a wɔayera no nkwa.
INdodana yoMuntu yalanda ukusindisa okwakulahlekile.]
12 “Sɛ onipa bi wɔ nnwan ɔha, na wɔn mu baako kɔkyini na ɔyera a, ɛdeɛn na ɔbɛyɛ? Ɔrennya aduɔkron nkron no hɔ nkɔkyinkyini mmepɔ so ne abɔn mu nhwehwɛ deɛ wayera no?
Kambe likhumbulani? Nxa indoda ilezimvu ezilikhulu, enye iqambuke kwezinye, kayiyikuzitshiya yini lezo ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye ezintabeni iyedinga leyo eqambukileyo?
13 Na sɛ ɛba sɛ ɔhunu saa odwan no a, nʼani gye ne ho sene aduɔkron nkron a wɔwɔ efie no.
Ithi ingayithola, ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi, iyathokoza ngaleyo ukwedlula lezo ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye ezingazange zilahleke.
14 Saa ara nso na mʼagya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no mpɛ sɛ nketewa yi mu baako bɛyera.
Ngokufanayo, uYihlo osezulwini kafisi ukuthi lamunye walaba abancinyane abhubhe.”
15 “Sɛ wo nua fom wo a, kɔ ne nkyɛn na wo ne no baanu no nka deɛ ɔyɛɛ wo a ɛnyɛ wo dɛ no. Sɛ ɔtie deɛ woka no, na ɔte ne ho ase a, onua ayɛ onua.
“Nxa umfowenu ekona, yana kuye umtshengise isiphambeko sakhe lilodwa lobabili. Nxa ekulalela usumzuzile umfowenu.
16 Na sɛ wantie nso a, sane fa onipa baako anaa baanu ka wo ho kɔ ne nkyɛn, na deɛ ɛbɛsi biara no, nnipa baanu anaa baasa adi ho adanseɛ.
Kodwa nxa engakulaleli, biza omunye loba ababili ukuze ‘indaba yonke ivele obala ilabofakazi ababili loba abathathu.’
17 Sɛ wantie wo a, fa asɛm no kɔma asafo. Na sɛ wodi bem asafo no anim, na ɔnte ne ho ase ara a, asafo no mpam no mfiri wɔn mu.
Nxa esala ukubalalela, tshela ibandla, nxa esala ukulilalela lalo ibandla mthatheni njengomhedeni kumbe njengomthelisi.
18 “Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, biribiara a mokyekyere wɔ asase so no, wɔakyekyere wɔ ɔsoro, na biribiara a moasane wɔ asase so no, wɔasane wɔ ɔsoro.
Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi, loba yini eliyibophayo emhlabeni izabotshwa lasezulwini njalo lokho elikuthukululayo emhlabeni kuzathukululwa lasezulwini.
19 “Meresane aka akyerɛ mo bio sɛ, sɛ mo mu baanu biara a wɔte asase yi so hwehwɛ biribi na wɔde nokorɛ bisa mʼagya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no a, ɔbɛyɛ ama wɔn.
Njalo ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi nxa ababili kini emhlabeni bevumelana loba ngalutho bani abalucelayo bazalwenzelwa nguBaba osezulwini.
20 Na deɛ baanu anaa baasa ahyia wɔ me din mu no, na mewɔ wɔn mfimfini.”
Ngoba lapho okuhlangana khona ababili loba abathathu ngebizo lami, ngizabe ngikhona lami.”
21 Petro baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, mpɛn ahe na sɛ me nua fom me a memfa nkyɛ no? Mpɛn nson anaa?”
UPhethro weza kuJesu wabuza wathi, “Nkosi, umfowethu loba udadewethu ngizamthethelela kangaki nxa elokhu engona na? Kuze kube kasikhombisa na?”
22 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Dabi! Mpɛn aduɔson ahodoɔ nson!
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngithi hatshi kasikhombisa kodwa okwezikhathi ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa lesikhombisa.
23 “Ɔsoro Ahennie no te sɛ ɔhene bi a ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔne nʼapaafoɔ bu nkonta.
Ngakho umbuso wezulu unjengenkosi eyayifuna ukuqeda izikwelede zayo lezinceku zayo.
24 Nkontabuo no mu no, wɔde ɔpaani bi a ɔde no ka sika ɔpepem edu brɛɛ no.
Yathi isiqalisa ukuthonisa kwalethwa kuyo indoda eyayilesikwelede samathalenta azinkulungwane ezilitshumi.
25 Esiane sɛ na ɔnni sika a ɔde bɛtua ka no enti, ɔhene no hyɛɛ sɛ wɔntɔn ɔne ne yere ne ne mma ne biribiara a ɔwɔ, na wɔmfa mmɛtua ɛka no.
Kwathi ngoba ingelamandla okuhlawula inkosi yalaya ukuthi yona, umkayo, abantwana lakho konke eyayilakho kuthengiswe ukuze kuqedwe umlandu.
26 “Ɔpaani yi de nʼanim butuu fam, srɛɛ ne wura yi sɛ, ‘Me wura, hunu me mmɔbɔ, na to wo bo ase ma me, na mɛba abɛtua ɛka a mede wo no nyinaa.’
Inceku yaguqa phambi kwenkosi yayincenga yathi, ‘Ake ungibekezelele, ngizahlawula konke.’
27 Ɔpaani yi asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no yɛɛ ɔhene no mmɔbɔ, ma ɔgyaa no de ne ka no nyinaa nso kyɛɛ no.
Inkosi yenceku leyo yayizwela usizi, yayithethelela, yawesula umlandu yayiyekela yahamba.
28 “Saa ɔpaani yi firi hɔ no, ɔkɔhunuu ne nwurakwaa no mu bi a ɔde no ka sika kakraa bi. Ɔtim no amene sɛ ɔntua no ɛka a ɔde no no wɔ ɛhɔ ara.
Kodwa leyo yonela ukuphuma, yafumana eyinye inceku eyayilesikwelede sayo samadenari alikhulu. Yayibamba ngomphimbo, yayiklinya, yathi ngolaka, ‘Hlawula isikwelede sami!’
29 “Na nʼawurakwaa no koto, paa no kyɛw sɛ ɔnto ne bo ase mma no, na ɔbɛtua ka no.
Leyonceku layo yawa ngamadolo yayincenga yathi, ‘Ake ungibekezelele, ngizakuhlawula.’
30 “Nanso ɔno deɛ, wampene. Ɔmaa wɔde no kɔtoo afiase sɛ gye sɛ watua no ka a ɔde no no nyinaa ansa na ɔbɛma wɔagyaa no.
Kodwa yona yala. Endaweni yalokho, yahamba yenza ukuba leyondoda iphoselwe entolongweni ize iqale ihlawule isikwelede.
31 Ɔkafoɔ yi nnamfo kɔkaa asɛm a asi no nyinaa kyerɛɛ ɔhene no.
Kwathi ezinye izinceku sezibonile okwakwenzakele, zathukuthela kakhulu zayaceba enkosini ngalokho okwenzakeleyo.
32 “Ɔhene no teeɛ no, ɔfrɛɛ saa ɔpaani a ɔde ne ho kyɛɛ no no baa nʼanim. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Onipa bɔne ne otirimuɔdenfoɔ! Wosrɛɛ me no, mede ɛka kɛseɛ a wode me no nyinaa kyɛɛ wo;
Inkosi yayibiza leyonceku, yathi, ‘Wena nceku embi. Ngikuthethelele, ngasesula sonke isikwelede sakho ngoba ungincengile.
33 ɛnsɛ wo sɛ wo nso wohunu wo yɔnko mmɔbɔ sɛdeɛ mehunu wo mmɔbɔ no anaa?’
Kungani pho ungazwelanga omunye wakho isihawu njengalokhu ngenzile kuwe?’
34 Ɔhene no de abufuo maa wɔde ɔpaani yi kɔtoo afiase kaa sɛ, gye sɛ watua ɛka a ɔde no no nyinaa ansa na ɔbɛma wɔayi no.
Inkosi yayo yathukuthela kakhulu, yayinikela kubaphathi bejele ukuthi bayihlukuluze ize isihlawule sonke isikwelede.
35 “Saa ara na sɛ moamfa mo nuanom mfomsoɔ ankyɛ wɔn a, me ɔsoro Agya nso remfa mo mfomsoɔ nkyɛ mo.”
Yiyo le indlela uBaba osezulwini azaphatha ngayo lowo lalowo wenu nxa lingathetheleli abazalwane kuphuma enhliziyweni.”
