MKW
Na ntangu yina, bilandi kwizaka pene-pene ya Yesu, mpe yufulaka yandi: «Nani me lutila mfunu na kati ya Kimfumu ya Mazulu?»
BSB
BSB:
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2
MKW
Yesu bokilaka mwana ya fyoti, tulaka yandi na kati-kati ya bawu,
BSB
BSB:
Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
3
MKW
mpe tubaka: «Ya tsyelika, mu ke na kuzabisa beno: Kana beno soba ve nkadulu ya beno samu na kukuma mutindu bana ya fyoti, beno ke kota ve na Kimfumu ya Mazulu.
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
MKW
Muntu ya kulutila mfunu na kati ya Kimfumu ya Mazulu, ni muntu yina ke kuluka mpe ke kuma mutindu mwana ya fyoti yayi.
BSB
BSB:
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5
MKW
Muntu yina ke yamba mwana ya fyoti ya mutindu yayi na Nkumbu ya munu, ke yamba munu mosi.»
BSB
BSB:
And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
6
MKW
«Kana muntu bwisa na disumu mwana mosi na kati ya bana ya fyoti yayi ke na kukwikila na munu, ya me lunga ti ba kanga yandi ditadi ya nene na laka, mpe ba losa yandi na mubu.
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
MKW
Kyadi na bantu ya yinza samu ti mambu yina ke bwisaka bantu na masumu kele mingi! Mambu ya mutindu yina ke kondwa ve, kasi kyadi na muntu yina ke nata mambu ya mutindu yina.»
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
MKW
«Kana diboko to dikulu ya nge ke na kubwisa nge na masumu, zenga yawu mpe losa yawu ntama. Ya me lutila mbote na nge na kukota na kisika ya luzingu ya tsyelika na diboko mosi to dikulu mosi. Kana ve, ba ke losa nge na maboko to makulu nyonso zole na kati ya tiya yina ke kufwa ve.
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
MKW
Kana disu ya nge ke na kubwisa nge na masumu, katula yawu mpe losa yawu ntama. Ya me lutila mbote na nge na kukota na luzingu ya tsyelika na disu mosi. Kana ve, ba ke losa nge na meso nyonso zole na kati ya tiya ya mbungulu.»
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
MKW
«Beno sala keba! Beno bika na kuyina ata mwana mosi na kati ya bana ya fyoti yayi. Ya tsyelika, mu ke na kuzabisa beno: bambazi ya bawu na mazulu ke vwandaka ntangu nyonso na Tata ya munu yina kele na mazulu. [
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
MKW
Ya tsyelika, Mwana ya Muntu me kwiza samu na kuvuukisa bayina zimbanaka.]
BSB
BSB:
Not in the BSB
Not in the earliest manuscripts
12
MKW
«Yinki beno ke na kubanza? Kana muntu ke na mameme nkama, mpe ti dimeme mosi zimbana, yandi ke bika mameme makumi yivwa na yivwa yina me bikana na mongo, mpe ke kwenda kusosa dimeme yina me zimbana.
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
MKW
Ya tsyelika, mu ke na kuzabisa beno: Kana yandi kuzwa yawu, yandi ke vwanda na kilengi nyonso samu na dimeme yina kulutila kilengi yina kele na yandi samu na mameme makumi yivwa na yivwa yina me zimbana ve.
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
MKW
Mutindu mosi mpe, Tata ya beno yina kele na mazulu zola ti ata mosi na kati ya bana ya fyoti yayi zimbana.
BSB
BSB:
In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
15
MKW
«Kana mpangi ya nge me sala nge yimbi, kwenda tala yandi, mpe zabisa yandi na lweka, kisika ya beno zole yimbi yina yandi me sala. Kana yandi kuwa nge, bunkundi ya beno me vutuka dyaka.
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
MKW
Kana yandi manga na kuwa nge, baka muntu mosi to bantu zole mutindu ke tubaka Dibuku ya Nzambi: “Beno fwana kuzenga konso dyambu na ntwala ya bambangi zole to tatu.”
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
MKW
Kana yandi manga na kuwa bawu, zabisa yawu na bampangi ya dibuundu. Kana yandi manga mpe na kuwa bampangi ya dibuundu, bika yandi mpe tala yandi mutindu muntu yina zaba Nzambi ve to mutindu kilokoti-mpaku.
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
MKW
«Ya tsyelika, mu ke na kuzabisa beno: Nyonso yina beno ke kanga awa na ntoto, Nzambi mpe ke kanga yawu na mazulu, mpe nyonso yina beno ke zibula awa na ntoto, Nzambi mpe ke zibula yawu na mazulu.
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
MKW
Mu ke na kuzabisa dyaka beno ti kana bantu zole na kati ya beno wisana awa na ntoto samu na kulomba kima ni kima na kati ya lusambulu, Tata ya munu yina kele na mazulu ke pesa bawu yawu.
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
MKW
Ya tsyelika, kisika yina bantu zole to tatu me vukana na Nkumbu ya munu, mu kele na kati-kati ya bawu.»
BSB
BSB:
For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
21
MKW
Na yina, Pyele kwendaka pene-pene ya Yesu, mpe yufulaka: «Mfumu! Bambala yikwa mu fwana kulemvokila mpangi ya munu kana yandi ke na kusala munu yimbi? Bambala nsambwadi?»
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
MKW
Yesu vutulaka: «Ve! Mu ke na kutuba ve ti nge fwana kulemvokila yandi bambala nsambwadi. Kasi nge fwana kulemvokila yandi bambala makumi nsambwadi, mpe kusala yawu bambala nsambwadi.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus answered,
“I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
23
MKW
Ni yawu yina, Kimfumu ya Mazulu kele mutindu yayi: Ntinu mosi bakaka lukanu ya kusala lutangu ya mbongo na bisadi ya yandi.
BSB
BSB:
Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24
MKW
Ntangu yandi bandaka na kusala yawu, ba natinaka yandi kisadi mosi yina vwandaka defa Batalente mafunda kumi (10 000).
BSB
BSB:
As he began the settlements, a debtor owing ten thousand talents was brought to him.
25
MKW
Kisadi yina vwandaka ve na kima samu na kufuta mfuka yina. Na yina, mfumu ya yandi pesaka muswa ya kutekisa yandi kintwadi na kento, bana ya yandi, mpe bima nyonso ya yandi samu na kufuta mfuka yina.
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
MKW
Kasi kisadi fukamaka na ntwala ya mfumu ya yandi samu na kubondila yandi. Yandi tubaka: “Vwanda na mvibudulu, mpe mu ke futa mbongo nyonso ya nge.”
BSB
BSB:
Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
27
MKW
Mfumu talaka yandi kyadi. Yandi katulaka yandi mfuka, mpe yambulaka yandi.
BSB
BSB:
His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
28
MKW
«Ntangu kisadi yina basikaka, yandi bwabanaka na mpangi mosi ya kisalu yina vwandaka defa yandi badenalya nkama (100). Yandi fyetaka yandi na laka, mpe tubaka: “Futa mbongo yina nge ke na kudefa munu!”
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
MKW
Mpangi ya yandi fukamaka na ntwala ya yandi, mpe bondilaka yandi mutindu yayi: “Vwanda na mvibudulu, mpe mu ke futa mbongo nyonso ya nge.”
BSB
BSB:
So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
30
MKW
Kasi kisadi yina mangaka na kulemvokila mpangi. Yandi tulaka mpangi na boloko tii ntangu yandi fwanaka futa mbongo nyonso.
BSB
BSB:
But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
31
MKW
Ntangu bisadi ya nkaka talaka mambu yina, bawu kumaka na kyadi mingi, mpe kwendaka zabisa na sika ya mfumu ya bawu mambu nyonso yina salamaka.
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
MKW
Na yina, mfumu bokilaka kisadi yina, mpe tubaka: “Nge kele kisadi ya yimbi! Mu katulaka mfuka nyonso ya nge samu ti nge lombaka munu mulemvo.
BSB
BSB:
Then the master summoned him and said, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
33
MKW
Nge mpe, nge fwanaka tala mpangi ya nge kyadi mutindu mu talaka nge kyadi.”
BSB
BSB:
Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
34
MKW
Mfumu vwandaka na nkele mingi, mpe tulaka kisadi yina na boloko samu na kupesa yandi kitumbu tii ntangu yandi ke futa mbongo nyonso.»
BSB
BSB:
In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
35
MKW
Yesu tubaka dyaka: «Tata ya munu yina kele na mazulu ke sala mpe mutindu yina kana beno lemvokila ve bampangi ya beno na ntima mosi.»
BSB
BSB:
That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
