Gene mobhago bhaajiganywa gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu, gubhabhushiyenje, “Gani ali jwankulungwa Muupalume gwa Kunnungu?”
BSB
BSB:
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2
MWE
A Yeshu gubhanshemile mwana jumo, gubhannjimishe pakati jabhonji,
BSB
BSB:
Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
3
MWE
gubhashite, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, nkatendebhukanje nibha malinga bhana, ngu, nkajinjilanga Muupalume gwa Kunnungu.”
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
MWE
Jojowe akwiinyegaya nibha malinga aju mwanaju, jwenejo shaabhe jwankulungwa Muupalume gwa Kunnungu.
BSB
BSB:
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5
MWE
Jojowe akumposhela mwana jumo malinga jweneju kwa ligongo lyangu nne, anamboshela nne.
BSB
BSB:
And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
6
MWE
Jojowe shannebhye jumo jwa bhashokonji bhaangulupalinga nne, mbaya akatabhilwe liganga likulungwa nnukoi nileshelwa pa shilindili sha mashi.
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
MWE
Ole gwenunji bhandu bha pa shilambolyo kwa ligongo lya ilokoli. Ilokoli shiikoposhele, ikabheje ole gwakwe jwene shaikumbuyejo.
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
MWE
“Monaga nkono eu lukongono lwenu lunnebhyaga, nnukate na nnjae kwataliya. Mbaya nnjinjile mugumi gwa pitipiti nni gwangali nkono eu lukongono, nngalingana na leshelwa pa moto gwa pitipiti nni na makono na makongono genu ganaabhili.
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
MWE
Liyo lyenu linnebhyaga, nnikolotole na kulijaa kwataliya. Mbaya nnjinjile mugumi gwa pitipiti nni na shongo, nngalingana leshelwa pa moto gwa ku Jeanamu nni na meyo genu ganaabhili.
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
MWE
“Mwiteiganje! Nnannyegayanje jumo jwa bhashokonjibha. Ngunakummalanjilanga, ashimalaika bhabhonji kunnunguko mobha gowe pubhalinginji tome na Atati bha Kunnungu.
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
MWE
Pabha Mwana juka Mundu ashinkwiya kwaatapulanga bhandu bhaobhilenje.
BSB
BSB:
Not in the BSB
Not in the earliest manuscripts
12
MWE
Nkubhonanga bhuli? Mundu akolaga ngondolo makumi kumi, anng'obhaga jumo, shatende bhuli? Anakwiileka ngondolo makumi tisha na tisha ila pa shitumbi, nikwenda kunnoleya aobhile jula.
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
MWE
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, ampataga apinga kwinonyela kupunda makumi tisha na tisha yangaobha ila.
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
MWE
Nneyo peyo, Ainabhenunji bha Kunnungu bhakaapinga aobhe nkali jumo jwa bhashokonjibha.
BSB
BSB:
In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
15
MWE
“Mpwenu annebhelaga, munjendele nkanneye nninginji mmabhilipe. Ampilikanaga mumpatile mpwenu.
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
MWE
Akampilikane, nnjende naka mundu jumo eu bhabhili na mmayene, nkupinga kwa ukong'ondelo gwa bhandu bhabhili eu bhatatu, monaga lipali lilobhe limanyishe nimala.
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
MWE
Akaapilikanilanje bhanganyabho, mwaalugulilanje bhandu bha nnikanisha. Na monaga akaapilikanilanje, mumone malinga bhandu bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu eu bhakamula koli.
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
MWE
“Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, shoshowe shishintabhanje pa shilambolyo, shishitabhwe kunnungu, na shoshowe shishinngopolanje pa shilambolyo shishigopolwe kunnungu.
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
MWE
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga kabhili, bhabhili bhenunji pa shilambolyo bhalaganangaga shoshowe sha juga, Atati bhali kunnungu shibhaatendelanje.
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
MWE
Pabha popowe pubhaimananga bhandu bhabhlili eu bhatatu kwa ligongo lyangu nne, nne mbali pamo na bhanganyabho.”
BSB
BSB:
For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
21
MWE
Kungai a Petili gubhaajendele a Yeshu, gubhaabhushiye, “Bhuli Mmakulungwa, mpwanga anebhele palingwa ninneshelele? Nkali pa shabha?”
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
MWE
A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Ngaalugula mala shabhape, ikabhe nkali makumi shabha mala shabha.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus answered,
“I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
23
MWE
Pabha Upalume gwa Kunnungu unalandana naka mpalume jumo atendile eshabhu ika ntumishi jwakwe.
BSB
BSB:
Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24
MWE
Eshabhu ikatandubheje, gubhapeleshelwe mundu jumo alongwaga ligambo mmbiya yaigwinji.
BSB
BSB:
As he began the settlements, a debtor owing ten thousand talents was brought to him.
25
MWE
Jwene mundujo akakweteje shindu sha lipa, bhakulungwa bhakwe gubhaamulishe aushwe jwenejo na akagwe na ashibhanagwe na indu yowe yaakwete, nkupinga lipila ligambo lila.
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
MWE
Bhai, ntumishi jula gwabhatindibhalile, nigwashite, ‘Nnindile shininnipe ligambo lyenu lyowe.’
BSB
BSB:
Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
27
MWE
Bhakulungwa bhala gubhammonele shiya ntumishi jula, gubhanneshelele ligambo lila, gubhanneshile aijabhulile.
BSB
BSB:
His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
28
MWE
“Ntumishi jula gwajabhwile, gwanng'imene ntumishi nnjakwe annongaga ligambo lya mmbiya makumi kumi. Gubhankamwile, nikunkida pa nngulo alinkuti, ‘Unipe inguulonga!’
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
MWE
Ntumishi nnjakwe jula akuntindibhalilaga nikunshondelesheya, alinkuti ‘Nninde shininnipe yowe’.
BSB
BSB:
So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
30
MWE
Ikabheje jwanngakunda, gwapite kuntabha kuligelesha mpaka pushalipe ligambo lyowe.
BSB
BSB:
But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
31
MWE
“Bhai, bhatumishi ajakwenji bhakaibhonanjeje itendeshe gubhainginikenje kwa kaje, nigubhapite kwatashiyanga bhakulungwa bhabhonji gakoposhele.
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
MWE
Bhakulungwa bhala gubhanshemile ntumishi jula, gubhammalanjlile, ‘Ugwe ujwanyata ntima! Gwashinkunyuga nikuleshelele, gunikuleshelele ligambo lyako lyowe.
BSB
BSB:
Then the master summoned him and said, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
33
MWE
Bhuli, ikapinjikweje ugwe kummonnela shiya ntumishi nnjako malinga shinikubhonele shiya nne?’
BSB
BSB:
Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
34
MWE
“Bhai, bhakulungwa bhala gubhatumbele kaje, nigubhampeleshe akapotekwe mpaka pushalipe ligambo lyowe.
BSB
BSB:
In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
35
MWE
A Yeshu gubhashite, Atati bhali kunnungu shibhantendelanje nneyo peyo monaga mundu akanneshelele mpwakwe mpaka muntima.”
BSB
BSB:
That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
