Kisingi kiya wahina wakamwezea Yesu, na kumuuza, “Nindai mkuu muno mwe useuta wa uwanga kwa Muungu?”
BSB
BSB:
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2
BOU
Yesu akamwetanga mwana mdodo na kumgoosa gatigati yao,
BSB
BSB:
Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
3
BOU
Aho akawagombeka, “Nawamba kwei, mkesekuhituka na kuwa inga wana khamnamwengiye katu mwe useuta wa uwanga kwa Muungu.
BSB
BSB:
“Truly I tell you,”
He said,
“unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4
BOU
Kwaiyo mntu yoyose ajinyenyeekeshae inga mwana uyu, nee endae awe mkuu kusima wose mwe useuta wa Muungu.
BSB
BSB:
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5
BOU
Yuda amhokeaye mwana kwaajii yangu, endaawe anihokea miye.
BSB
BSB:
And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.

BOU
“Iya inga mntu yoyose mwendae amtende yumwe wa wadodo awa wanizumiiao agosoe mavigaviga, ni ebae mntu uyo azengetezwe iwe kuu da kubundugia mwe singo yakwe na kutambikwa mwe kina kilehacho cha mazimshindo.
BSB
BSB:
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7
BOU
Mmbwii yenu wantu wa Inusi inu kwaajii ya yada yaetayo wantu kugosoa mavigaviga! Mbui izo nlazima yawe aho, iya mmbwii yakwe mntu yuda ambae endaagosoe.
BSB
BSB:
Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!
8
BOU
“Inga mkono hambu muundi wako ukakutenda kugosoa mavigaviga usenge na uwase hae. Ni ebae kwako kwengia mwe ugima kwesiho mkono hambu muundi, kusima kwasigwa mwe moto wesao kukomeka misi yose kwesiho kisiikizi ukawa na mikono miidi na miundi yako miidi.
BSB
BSB:
If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.
9
BOU
Na ziso dako dikakutenda ugosoe mavigaviga, ding'oe na kudasa hae. Ni ebae kwako kwengia mwe ugima ukawa na ziso dimwe kusima kwengia mwe moto misi yose kwesaho kukomeka ukawa na meso yako yose maidi.
BSB
BSB:
And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
10
BOU
“Ekauweni, msekumbea wamwe wa wadodo awa. Kwaviya nawamba, wandima wao wa uko uwanga kwa Muungu, misi yose wahamwe na Tate yangu uko uwanga kwa Muungu.
BSB
BSB:
See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.
11
BOU
Kwaviya Mwana wa Mntu keza kuohoa wada wakwagao.
BSB
BSB:
Not in the BSB
Not in the earliest manuscripts
12
BOU
“Mwaona viivihi? Mntu akawa na ngoto makumi kumi, akaga yumwe endaatende viivihi? Ivi khana awabade wada makumi kenda na kenda kwe muima, na nakuita kumwondeza yuda yumwe mwekwaga?
BSB
BSB:
What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?
13
BOU
Nawamba kwei endaho amuone, endaawe na nyemi nae uyo kusima wada makumi kenda na kenda ambao khawekwaga.
BSB
BSB:
And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
14
BOU
Ivyoivyo na Tate yangu wa uwanga kwa Muungu khakunda hata yumwe wa wadodo awa age.
BSB
BSB:
In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
15
BOU
“Nduguyo mkese kwevana, umbase na umhaze mkawa nywie waidi du. Akakutegeeza wendauwe nduguyo kumpata.
BSB
BSB:
If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
16
BOU
Ikawa ata khekukutegeeza doa mtu yumwe hambu waidi, inga Maandiko yagombekavyo, ‘kia masa yendayaonoke kuwa ni kwei kwa uvuhuzi wa wantu waidi hambu watatu, masa yaamulwe.’
BSB
BSB:
But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
17
BOU
Akese kuwategeeza awo wavuhuzi waidi hambu watatu, wagombeke zumwezumwe da wantu wekumzumiiyao Klistu. Na inga khanaaditegeeze zumwezumwe da wantu wamzumiiao Klistu na awe kwako inga wantu wesao kummanya Muungu hambu watozao ushuu.
BSB
BSB:
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
18
BOU
“Kwei nawamba, mbui mwendazomzivugue mwe inusi zendazivugalwe na uko uwanga kwa Muungu, na mbui zendazomzivugae mwe inusi zendazivugulwe na uko uwanga kwa Muungu.
BSB
BSB:
Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19
BOU
“Nawagombekea vituhu waidi gatigati yenu wakevana hanu he inusi kuusu mbui yoyose waiyombezayo, Tate yangu wa uko uwanga endaagosoe mbui iyo.
BSB
BSB:
Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.
20
BOU
Kwaviya hohose hada wakintanaho waidi hambu watatu kwa zina dangu, miye ni ahoaho gatigati yao.”
BSB
BSB:
For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
21
BOU
Naho Petulo akamwezea Yesu na kumuuza, “Zumbe, ndugu yangu akaendeea kunikosea maa nyingahi na miye nimfiiye mbazi? Hambu, ata maa mfungate?”
BSB
BSB:
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22
BOU
Yesu akamtambaisa, “Khigombeka maa mfungate iya mfungate maa makumi mfungate.”
BSB
BSB:
Jesus answered,
“I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
23
BOU
Kwaivyo Useuta wa Muungu wadaha kuiganywa na seuta yumwe mwe kukunda kugosoa ntaazia ya hea na wandima wakwe.
BSB
BSB:
Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24
BOU
Ekuvokaho kugosoa ntaazia zakwe mntu yumwe mwekuwa adaiwa vifuko magana kumi vya zahabu, akaetwa kwakwe.
BSB
BSB:
As he began the settlements, a debtor owing ten thousand talents was brought to him.

Ekuvotwaho kuiha deni ido, ivyo seuta yake akakunda yee atagwe na mkaziwe atagwe hamwe na wanawe watagwe na vyose ekuwavyo navyo vitagwe ili dia deni diihwe.
BSB
BSB:
Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife and children and everything he owned.
26
BOU
Yuda mndima akakinta mavindi na kumhembeeza yuda seuta na kugombeka, “unizizimizie, nami nenda nikuihe deni dako dose.”
BSB
BSB:
Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
27
BOU
Yuda Mkuu wa uyo mndima akamfiiya mbazi na akamuekea deni dakwe dose akambada aite zakwe.
BSB
BSB:
His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
28

“Iya uyo mndima ekuwaho alawa chongoi, akakintana na mndima ekuwae amdai ntii makumi kumi ya madini yetangwayo feza. Akamfuntia na kumkeda kongomeo na kumwamba niihe kia nikudaiacho.
BSB
BSB:
But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’
29
BOU
Yuda mndima mweziwe akakinta mavindi na kumhembeeza akagombeka, ‘Naombeza unizizimize, nami nendanikuihe deni dako dose.’
BSB
BSB:
So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’

BSB:
When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.

BSB
BSB:

33
BOU
Ivi weye, khwekukundigwa kumfiiya mbazi mndima mwezio inga nekukufiiavyo mbazi?
BSB
BSB:
Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
