Mataayi 18
1 Unsiki ghulaghula avavulanisivua vakisa kwa Yesu na kukum'bula,”Ghwe veeni juuno m'baha mhu vutwa uvwa kukyanya?”
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greater in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 U Yesu akakemela umwana un'debe, akam'bika pakati na kati pa vanave,
So Jesus called over a little child, placed him among them,
3 na kuti,”kyang'haani nikuvavuula, mungabuhile kulata na kuuva heene vaana vadebe namunganoghele kukwingila mhu vutua vwa Nguluve.
and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 Pa uluo umuunhu ghweni juuno ikuviika heene mwaana n'debe, umunhu ndavule ujuo ghwe mbaha mhu vutua uvwa kukyanya.
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Kange umuunhu ghweni juuno ikumwupila umwaana u'debe mhu litavua lyango ikunyupila uune.
And whoever receives one little child such as this in my name receives me.
6 Looli ghweni juno ipelepesia jumo pakati pa vadebe ava vano vikunyitika kugaluka, luuva lunono kwa muunhu ujuo ilivue ilivaha ilya kuhavulila likungua kusingo kwa mwene, kange kudwivilila mhu kyogho mhu nyanja.
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7 Iiga khu iisi ulwakuva unsiki ughwa kukalasia! ulwakuuva nalunofu khu masiki aghuo kukwisa, looli iiga kwa juula umuunhu juula amasiki ghala ghikwisa vwimila umwene!
“Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! It is necessary that stumbling blocks come, yet woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!
8 Heene uluvoko lwako nambe ulughulu lwako lukukupelepesia kukalala, udumule kange utaghe kuvutali nhu nuve. Lunofu kyongo kulyuve juuve kukwingila khuvwumi kuuva nsila luvoko nambe uvulemavu, kuliko kutaghua khu mwooto ughwa kusila na kusila ghuva na mavoko ghooni nambe amaghulu ghooni. (aiōnios g166)
If yoʋr hand or yoʋr foot causes yoʋ to stumble, cut them off and throw them away from yoʋ. It is better for yoʋ to enter life lame or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 Heene iliso lyako likukukalasia, kuula kange ulitaghe kuvutali nuvee. Lunofu kyongo kulyuve juuve ghwingile kuvwumi nhi liiso limo, kuliko kutaghua khu mwooto aghwa kusila na kusila ghuva nha maaso ghooni. (Geenna g1067)
And if yoʋr eye causes yoʋ to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from yoʋ. It is better for yoʋ to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fires of hell. (Geenna g1067)
10 Lolagha kuuti mulisa kusyojola juumo ughwa vadebe ava. Ulwakuva nikuvavuula kuuti kukyanya kulivanyamola vavanave ifighono fyoni vilola uvweni vwa Nhaata ghwango juuno alikukyanya.
“Be careful not to despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of my Father in heaven.
11 (Gadilila: Amasio ghanoghivoneka heene gha kidebe kya 11,”Ulwakuuva u mwaana ghwa Adamu akisile kukutupoka kiila kinokikasovile”naghakavonike mhu nakala innofu isa kali).
For the Son of Man came to save the lost.
12 Musagha kiiki? Pano umunhu alining'olo kijigho kimo, jimo musene isova, vuuli naikuvaleka ifijigho tanda ifya kufidunda na kuluta kukumulonda juumo juuno asovile?
What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the other ninety-nine and go seek on the mountains the one that has gone astray?
13 Kange angamwaghe, kyang'haani nikuvavuula, ikunkela kuliko vaala kijigho kimo nhu tanda vanonavisova.
And if he happens to find it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.
14 Pa uluo navwevwighane vwa Nhaata ghwinu ughwa kukyanya kuuti juumo mhu vadebe ava valemale.
In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Heene unyalukolo ghwako angakukosele, luuta, ukansone ilidoa pakate palyuve nhu mwene pano iiva mwene jujuuo. Ndavule ikukupulikisia, ghuva ugomwisie unyalukolo ghwako.
“If yoʋr brother sins against yoʋ, go show him his fault between yoʋ and him alone. If he listens to yoʋ, yoʋ have gained yoʋr brother.
16 Looli nave naikupulikisia, ntoole unyalukolo juumo nambe vavili kyongo palikimo nuuve, Ulwakuuva mumalomo agha volesi vavili nambe vatatu kiila lisio linoghile kukagulua.
But if he does not listen, take one or two others with yoʋ, so that every matter may be established by the mouth of two or three witnesses.
17 Nave ibeda kuvampulikisia, livule ilikong'ano ilisio ilio, nave ibeda vulevule kupulikisia ilikong'ano, looli avisaghe heene muunhu ughwa vapanji usonga songo.
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
18 Kyang'haani nikuvavuula kyekyoni kiila kinomuliva mudinda mhu iisi na kukyanya kidindua. kange kyekyoni kinomudindula mhu iisi na kukyanya kidindulivua.
Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19 Kange nikuvavuula kuuti nave avaanhu vavili pakati palyumue vangiting'ane vwimila vwa lisio lyelyoni pa iisi linovisuma, iilio u Nhaata ghwango ughwa kukyanya ivomba.
Again, truly I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.
20 Ulwakuva vavili nambe vatatu vangakong'ane palikimo khu litavua lyango, une nili pakatenakate naveene.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them.”
21 Pepano u Petro akisa na pikum'bula u Yesu,”ghwe Mutwa, na kalingi unyalukolo ghwango ifikuhoka une nisaghile? Nifikusaghilagha kuhanga kufika lekela lubale?”
Then Peter came to Jesus and said, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother when he keeps sinning against me? Up to seven times?”
22 U Yesu akam'bula,”Naniiti kufika lekela lubale, looli usaghilaghe fijigho lekela lubale.
Jesus said to him, “Not, I tell yoʋ, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
23 Ulwakuuva ulu uvutwa vwa kukyanya vuling'ine ni kihwanikisio ikya ntwa jumonga juno akalondagha kuvala fino kuhuma kuvavombi vaake. Untwa ujuo ye atengwile
“For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
24 kuvala fino ikuvasighila, um'bombi jumo alyale isighilua italanta imbilima kijigho.
As he began to settle accounts, one servant who had a debt of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
25 Um'bombi ujuo ulwakuva alyakunilue kuhomba, untwa ghwa mwene alyaghile aghusivue, un'dala ghwake palikimo na vaana vaake ni fiinu fyoni fino alyale nafyo, neke ahombe fyoni.
But since he did not have anything with which to repay the debt, his master commanded him to be sold along with his wife, his children, and all that he had, so that the debt could be repaid.
26 Pe um'bombi jula akaghua, akafughama pavulongolo pa mwene, akati,'Mutwa, uve nhu lugudo palikimo nune, ifinu fyako fyoni nihomba.'
So the servant fell down and bowed before him, saying, ‘Master, be patient with me, and I will repay yoʋ all that I owe.’
27 Pe untwa ughwa jula um'bombi, ulwakuva akasukumivue kyongo nhu lusungu, akantavula na kukunsaghila fyoni fino isighilia
Moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.
28 Looli um'bombi jula ye avukile pala akatang'ana nu mbombi ujaake, juno alyale ikunsighila idinali kilundo. Akankola, akantaka kusingo, akam'bula,'Uhombe fyoni fino nikukusighila.'
But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Repay me what yoʋ owe.’
29 Looli um'bombi ujaake jula akafughama pa maaso ghaake, akampelepesia, akati,'Nisuma unguule padebe ifinu fyako fyoni fino nisighilua nihomba.'
So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay yoʋ.’
30 Neke um'bombi jula akakaana. pe, akaluta kukundindila ujaake mudinde, kuhanga pano ihomba ifinu fyoni fino isighilua.
But he was not willing to do so. Instead, he went and threw him into prison until he should repay what was owed.
31 Avavombi avajaake ye vasivwene isio. Vakalemala kyongo. Vakaluta na kukum'bula untwa ghuvanave sooni sino sivombike.
When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed and went and reported to their master all that had happened.
32 Pepano untwa akankemela um'bombi jula, akam'bula akati,'Ghwe m'bombi uve uli mbivi, uve ye unisumile une nakusaghila fyoni fino nakusighilagha.
Then the master summoned the servant and said to him, ‘Yoʋ evil servant! I forgave yoʋ all that debt because yoʋ begged me to do so.
33 Asi! nuveele unoghile kukunsungukila umbombi un'jaako, ndavule une niveele nikunsungukile une?
Should yoʋ not also have had mercy on yoʋr fellow servant, even as I had mercy on yoʋ?’
34 Untwa jula akakalala kyongo pe akalaghila atwalue mu ndinde kupumusivua kuhanga pano ihomba ifinu fyoni fino isighilua. Enendiiki na ju Nhaata
And in anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured until he should repay all that was owed him.
35 ghwango ughwa kukyanya fye ilikuvahomba, na jumue nave namunkusaghila nhu mwoojo um'balafu unyalukolo.”
My heavenly Father will also do the same to you if each one of you, from your hearts, does not forgive his brother for his trespasses.”
