MGH2016
Yeyo ikatema iyo owiittucha nkayaawa wa Yesu, nkayankoha, “Phi mpani ri mulhupalhe chinene mu Imwene yo wiirimu?”
BSB
BSB:
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2
MGH2016
Yesu nkaamwiihana mwanhima, nkaamwemesha variyari aya,
BSB
BSB:
Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
3
MGH2016
nkeera, “Kinouhimeriani ikekhiaye, mwaahirukunuweke ni ukhalha thoko achihima, khannowa mwaakelha wi Imwene yo wiirimu mena.
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
MGH2016
Mulhupalhe nhina Imwene yo wiirimu, ri phi ntu neetimarikha thoko ulha mwanhima ulha.
BSB
BSB:
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5
MGH2016
Ntu riyoothe nompochera mwanhima thoko ulha wo nchina naka, nokipochera mii.”
BSB
BSB:
And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
6
MGH2016
“Ntu riyoothe nohalha unttekiha mmoka aya alha ashinkani anokirumelhelha alha, irii mbaya yoyo ntu uyo attukelhelhiye nshilho nulhupalhe nshikoni ni utitimerihiya ubaharini wo wiisha chinene.
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
MGH2016
Ihothapana ilhapo wo nlhatu no ulhikachiya unaawulhusha attu mu uwonyani! Ulhikachiya thoko chiicho unoowa waakhumelhelha, nansho ahothapana attu anohalha upanga chiicho!
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
MGH2016
“Yakhalhaka moono inyu ama mweto inyu uhoottekihakani, ntupulheke ni urihelha uwo shoro! Iri mbaya inyuva ukelha mu ukumini wo uhikhalha ni moono ama mweto, kuliko urihiya umooroni uhintiphia mahuku o uhimalha nnari ni miono miilhi ni mieto chinyu miilhi.
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
MGH2016
Ni niitho ninyu noottekihakani, nkhulheke nrihelheke utayi. Iri nambaya wo inyuva ukelha mu ukumini nnari ni niitho nimoka, kuliko utikhelhiya vamooroni Ujehannamu nnari ni miitho melhi.”
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
MGH2016
“Mwiishungeke! Nhimpangelhe niphiondho mmoka aya ashinkani alha. Kinouhimeriani wiira minepa chaya cho wiirimu chiri muulhokelhani wo mahuku onkhaye wa Athumwanaka o wiirimu.”
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
MGH2016
“Ukhalhawaya Mwaana a Ntu wiilhe woopolha attu apotenre.
BSB
BSB:
Not in the BSB
Not in the earliest manuscripts
12
MGH2016
Nnoona chani, ntu akhalhaka ni ikhondoro imia imoka, yapoteraka imoka, nopangani? Noohiya chilhe makhumi tisa ni tisa umwaakoni, nkaarwa uuthothani ikhondoro imoka ipotenre.
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
MGH2016
Vanoona awe, we ikekhiaye vavawo phi nottapelhelha awe wo nlhatu no ikhondoro imoka iyo, ipwahaka chikhwawe makhumi tisa ni tisa chaahanlhe chiyo.
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
MGH2016
Phi chiichammo, Athumwanihu o wiirimu vahinotuna aya inakhalhaka mmoka aya alha ashinkani alha apotere.”
BSB
BSB:
In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
15
MGH2016
“Yakhalhaka munninyu hoottekelhani, nrweeke mwamwaamukeke. Nansho mwamwaamukeke nnari elhi vekha inyu. Owiiwaakani, nhompatta nhima inyu.
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
MGH2016
Nansho aahiwelhelheke, munkusheke ntu mmoka ama attu elhi mwaarwaneke, akhalhe phi attu o uhimiechesha nenno nlhove nno, thoko chinohimiya ni Malhove Matakatifu, attu elhi ama araru.
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
MGH2016
Aahiwelhelheke yayo attu ayo, nhimiacheke wa attu anrumelhenlhe Kuristo. Aahiwelhelheke nlhoko wa attu anrumelhenlhe Kuristo, ooniyeke etu thoko attu ahinchuwenlhe Nlhuku ama attu anolhiviha ikhodi.”
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
MGH2016
“Vavawo, kinouhimeriani wo ikekhiaye mwaatti wiira, chinohalha inyu uttuka velhaponi va, chinoottukiya chiicho wiirimu, ni chittu chinohalha inyu uttukulha velhaponi va, chinoottukulhiya chiicho wiirimu.
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
MGH2016
Tho kinouhimeriani wo ikekhiaye wiira, attu o irusho cho uchuwelha mu nlhokoni mwinyu yeewananaka velhaponi va nlhove niriyoothe no ulhepelha, Athumwanaka o wiirimu anoupangelhani nenno nlhove nno.
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
MGH2016
Ukhalhawaya variwoothe wanthukumana aya attu elhi ama araru wo nchina naka, mii kirii vavawo vamoka ni ayo.”
BSB
BSB:
For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
21
MGH2016
Napeturo nkayanttwara Yesu, nkankoha, “Eti Thithi, nhimaaka akittekelhaka, kinlhevelheke vachani? Mikwaha saba?”
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
MGH2016
Yesu nkaakhulha, “Akineera vathanu ni velhi, nansho makhumi saba mikwaha saba.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus answered,
“I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
23
MGH2016
Ukhalhawaya Umwene wo wiirimu unolhikaana ni mwene mmoka aalhakenlhe uwehaweha maalhakelho a anamitheko aari nhina mamulaka awe.
BSB
BSB:
Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24
MGH2016
Vaachokhonlhe awe, nkaawiheriya ntu mmoka aari ni nlhatu wo nchurukhu ishilingi maelufu khumi.
BSB
BSB:
As he began the settlements, a debtor owing ten thousand talents was brought to him.
25
MGH2016
Yoyo ntu uyo khaarina ittu iriyoothe yo ulhiva nlhatu awe, paahi eti anene ntheko ayo nkayaalhehera wiira athumihiye ipotta, ahanu awe, achishaana awe ni chittu chonkhaye chirinawe, alhive nlhatu.
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
MGH2016
Paahi yoyo karumiya uyo nkaakhoroma wa mwanene nhakhu uyo, nkeera, ‘Nkilhite, ni mii kinoulhivani nlhatu winyu!’
BSB
BSB:
Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
27
MGH2016
Mwanene ntheko uyo nkayaamwonelha ikiriri namitheko uyo, nkanhiyerera nlhatu wonkhaye, nkanhiya arweeke.”
BSB
BSB:
His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
28
MGH2016
“Nansho namitheko uyo mwanene nkaathama, nkamphwanya mmoka a anamitheko akhunanawe aari ni nlhatu wo nchurukhu ishilingi imia imoka. Nkammara, nkaamwama ishiko eeraka, ‘Nkilhive nlhatu aka!’
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
MGH2016
Karumiya nkhunanawe nkaakhoroma, nkammenda eeraka, ‘Nkilhite ni mii kinowulhivani.’
BSB
BSB:
So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
30
MGH2016
Nansho uyo khaattunne, nkanttuka ujeerani mpaka vaalhinve awe nlhatu.”
BSB
BSB:
But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
31
MGH2016
“Paahi, anamitheko ashikhunanawe yooneke yayo yahochukulha chinene, nkayaarwaa uwaahimeriani amwene mwaha wonkhaye ukhumelhenlhe.
BSB
BSB:
When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.
32
MGH2016
Vavawo anene ntheko nkayaamwiihana yoyo karumiya uyo, nkaamwirelha, ‘Uwe karumiya o uhilhoka chinene! Wahokilhepelha, ni mii nkakoohiyerera nlhatu wonkhaye.
BSB
BSB:
Then the master summoned him and said, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
33
MGH2016
Nhothananiya umonelha ikiriri karumiya nkhunaninyu thoko mii chowonenlhe akani ikiriri.’”
BSB
BSB:
Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
34
MGH2016
“Amwene nkayaarushiya chinene, nkantikhelha ujerani atwarushiye mpaka vanohalha awe ulhiva nlhatu wonkhaye.”
BSB
BSB:
In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
35
MGH2016
“Ni Athumwanaka arii wiirimu, anoupangelhani chiichammo yakhalhaka kila mmoka inyu khanohiyerera uwonya wa nhima awe wo nrima awe wonkhaye.”
BSB
BSB:
That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
