Ilembile Mateu 18:1-35
18 Vahora yeniyo anamafunjedha tatoodha vaduzi na vali Yesu, aliwa m’fuka ira: “N’nga mbaani unofuna dhakala ndimuwa maningi mu Umwene wa dhulu?”
2 Moi ee-no liye atoitani-a mwana nom’mwimeli-a vari viwa.
3 Adhamale atoawandela ira: “Mwaimbarimbari ndinouwandelani ira, mwa-achinje nokala ninga a-ima, kamunodha volowa mu Umwene wa dhulu.
4 Ee-no mutu uliwethene unofuna dhadhiyevi-a ninga mwanula, ngunofuna dhakala ndimuwa maningi mu Umwene wa dhulu.
5 Thitho mutu uliwethene uwachenle mwana ninga wen’na mu dhina langa, utondiwachela thitho miyo.
6 Mbwenye mutu uliwethene osukwali-a m’mbo-i mwa visia-ima vinondiroromelavi, vingakanle pama maningi m’mangelela libwe la chilo ko-inimwee ninga libwe linowendi-a buru, nom’ponyedha bara modi-a.
7 “Soka waatu amuilamboi oi anodawi-a atu enango! Ee kavali irela mwinango, vanodha kala atu anofuna dawi-a afwiwa. Mbwenye soka waatu tanodawi-a afwiwa!
8 Ee-no akala dhandhalaa venango nyalolaa linoudawi-a, uligwande nolitatilela undendai. Namwasa oi ndipama ira umakaena ingumi wa-ana yano imbo-i venango ungali orangala, i-yani-ana ira umaponyedhiwe muloni o-omala wangana mandha menli venango manyalo menli.
9 Thitho akala litholaa linoudawi-a ulikodobole nolitatilela undendai. Namwasa oi ndipama ira umakaena ingumi ungana litho limbo-i i-yani-ana ira umaponyedhiwe Gehenani * wa mulo ungana metho menli.
10 Muire polepole ira mwa-anyoze m’mbo-i mwa visia-imavi, namwasa oi ndinousikimizelani ira angelwiwa ali dhulu hora dhothene anoona kove ya Babanga uli dhulu.
11 ——
12 “N’nga munothuulela a-vi? Akala mutu utokaana mabila 100 thitho limbo-i mwa mabilao dimela, n’nga liye kano-iya mabila 99 mwangoni nodhowa masakasaka lidimenlelo?
13 Mwaimbarimbari ndinouwandelani ira, alifwanya unosangalala maningi nalibila lelo, i-yani-ana mabila 99 akondile a-dimelale.
14 Mofwanafwana na vyevi, Babanga * uli dhulu kanofuna ira nam’mbo-ene wa visia-imavi vinongeye.
15 “Thitho akala balaa utoudawela, udhowe umatapanye vidawi-idhe liyevyo va nyo mwekhene, akala utouvwela utom’ganyali balaa.
16 Mbwenye akonda uvwela, udhoweo na mutu m’mbo-i venango ambili, ira mwasuo umasikimizeliwe na umboni waatu ambili venango araru.
17 Enao thitho akonda aa-vwela, umaonge pingoni. * Thitho akonda vwela pingo, um’mone ninga mutu waundhe thitho ninga mulimbo khomi-a soko.
18 “Mwaimbarimbari ndinouwandelani ira, vyongo vyothene vinofuna nyo dhamanga va ilambo yavathi, vinodha kala vyangamadhi mangiwa wale dhulu. Thitho vyongo vyothene vinofuna nyo dhathathula va ilambo yavathi vinodha kala vyangamadhi thathuliwa wale dhulu.
19 Thitho ndinouwandelani ira, akala ambili mwanyo vailambo yavathi mutovwelana ira muvepe yongo iliyothene yofuneya, Babanga wa dhulu unodha uva-ani.
20 Namwasa oi vanofuna gumaneya atu ambili venango araru mu dhina langa, miyo ndinodha kala na aliwa.”
21 Moi e-no Pedru atoodha dham’fuka ira: “Mbwiye, n’nga balanga andidawela ndim’levelelenga fendo dhingasi? Ndim’levelelenga fii-a fendo 7?”
22 Mbwenye Yesu atoom’mwakula ira: “Ndinouwandela ira, a-kala fendo 7 baa-i, mbwenye fii-a fendo 77.
23 “Ngumwasiwa Umwene wa dhulu ninooda ufwanafwani-edhela na mwene yafuna ira adhaaree taweli-e mangawa.
24 Mwenuo angaromile weleli-edhiwa mangawao, anamalabee tatoom’dhelana mutu ana mangawa a matalento * 10.000.
25 Mbwenye namwasa oi kaaode weli-a mangawao, patarawee atootonga ira lombwanuo, i-yanee, a-imee thitho vyongo vyothene vyana liye, viguli-iwe nom’mweli-edha kobiridhee.
26 Moi e-no dhaaruo atookokora vathi nom’moramela thitho atoonga ira, ‘Pepani ndidedi-eni vang’ono, ndinodha uweleli-edhani vyongo vyothene.’
27 Patarauo atoom’vwela tangaranga thitho atoom’iya dhaaruo nom’levelela mangawee ale.
28 Mbwenye dhaaruo angakhumile atoogumana na dhaari fwee ana mangawa okwakwana madenario * 100. Ee-no atoom’inda noroma m’dhegedhela, noonganga ira, ‘Weli-a mangawangale chineneeva.’
29 Dhaari fweuo atookokora vathi noroma m’sembezela ira, ‘Pepani ndidedi-eni vang’ono, ndinodha uweleli-edhani vyongo vyothene.’
30 Mbwenye liye atookonda thitho atoom’dhowana perezo ira tamam’fungele, fiyedha angamadhi weli-a mangawao.
31 Adhaari afwee tangaoni vyaireilevyo, tatoosukwala maningi thitho tatoodhowa wa patarawiwa mam’mwandela vyothene vyaireile.
32 Moi e-no pataraweuo atoom’mwitani-a nom’mwandela ira: ‘We dhaari othakala, ungandivepile ndatoulevelela mangawaa othene enale.
33 N’nga kwaam’vwele dhaari fwaa tangaranga, ninga vyauirele miyo?’
34 Moi e-no pataraweuo atoothakaleliwa maningi thitho atoom’dhowana wa alimbo ing’anela perezo ira tamam’fungele fiyedha angamadhi weli-a mangawa othene.
35 Babanga wa dhulu unodha uirelani thitho vyofwanafwana na vyevi akala mutu uliwethene w nyo kanolevelela balee na rima othene.”
