Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
1Te vaeng tue ah hnukbang rhoek loh Jesuh te a paan uh tih, “Vaan ram ah ulae tanglue la aka om,” a ti na uh.
2Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.
2Te dongah camoe pakhat te a khue tih amih lakli ah a pai sak.
3“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
3Te phoeiah, “ Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, camoe rhoek bangla na mael uh tih na om uh pawt atah vaan ram khuila na kun uh tlaih mahpawh .
4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
4Te dongah hekah camoe bangla amah tlarhoel hlang te tah vaan ram ah tanglue la om .
5And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
5Te phoeiah kai kah ming neh hebang camoe pakhat aka doe te tah kai ni n'doe .
6But 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.
6U long khaw kai aka tangnah camoe rhoek he pakhat khaw a khah atah, a rhawn ah laak phaklung a hoei tih tuili dung ah a buek te anih ham rhoei ngai .
7Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!
7Anunae thangkui kongah Diklai aih he. Thangkui te a om ham a kueknah om. Tedae anunae anih lamloh thangkui aka tung hlang aih te .
8If 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.
8Te phoeiah na kut neh na kho loh nang n'khah atah te te tloek lamtah namah lamloh voei. Kut panit kho panit om tih dungyan hmai khuila m'voeih lakah a ngun a khaem la hingnah khuiah kun te nang ham hnothen la om .
9And 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.
9Te phoeiah na mik loh nang n'khah atah te te koeih lamtah namah lamloh voei. Mik vang neh hingnah khuila kun te nang ham hnothen la om. Mik panit om tih hell hmai khuila voeih lakah tah.
10See 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.
10He camoe rhoek khuikah pakhat khaw na hnaep uh pawt ham ngaithuen uh. Nangmih ham kan thui, vaan ah amih kah puencawn rhoek loh vaan kah a pa maelhmai te a hmuh uh taitu lah ko .
no verse 11 in this text
11Hlang capa tah aka hma rhoek khang ham ni ha pawk .
12What 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?
12Nangmih tah metlam na poek? Hlang pakhat te tu yakhat om coeng dae te khuikah pakhat loh poengdoe koinih sawmko pako te tlang ah a hlah vetih aka poeng te toem hamla cet mahpawt nim?
13And 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.
13Te vaengah a hmuh hamla om coeng koinih ta, nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, aka poeng mueh sawmko pako lakah aka hma soah omngaih ngai .
14In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
14Te dongah vaan kah na Pa hmaiah tah camoe rhoek pakhat khaw poci ham te a ngaih moenih .
15If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
15“ Na manuca loh nang taengah a tholh atah cet lamtah namah neh anih laklo bueng ah mah anih te toeltham. Nang ol a yaak atah na manuca te na na coeng .
16But 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.’
16Tedae a hnatun pawt atah pakhat khaw panit khaw namah taengah khuen. Te daengah ni laipai rhoek panit pathum kah a ka loh olka te boeih a pai puei eh .
17If 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.
17Tedae amih loh a altha atah hlangboel taengah thui. Te vaengah Hlangboel kah ol pataeng a altha atah nangmih taengah namtom neh mangmucoi bangla om sak .
18Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
18Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, diklai hmanah na pin uh te tah vaan ah a pin ni. Tedae diklai ah na hlam uh te tah vaan ah a hlam ni .
19Again, 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.
19Te phoeiah nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, panit loh na kotluep tih diklai hmanah hno boeih te bih uh koinih, amih ham te vaan kah a pa loh a saii pah ni .
20For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
20Panit pathum aka om te khaw kai ming neh a hum uh atah amih lakli ah pahoi ka om coeng,” a ti nah.
21Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
21Te vaengah amah te Peter loh a paan tih, “Boeipa, ka manuca loh kai soah a tholh vaengah ka hlah vawptawp a ya?, voei rhih due a?” a ti nah.
22Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
22Jesuh loh, “ Nang taengah voei rhih due pawt tih, sawmrhih parhih due ni ka ti .
23Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
23Te dongah vaan ram tah a sal rhoek taengah bitat soepsoei ham aka ngaih hlang manghai neh vai uh .
24As he began the settlements, a debtor was brought to him owing ten thousand talents.
24Soepsoei ham a tong vaengah talen thawngrha dongkah laikung pakhat te a taengla a khuen .
25Since 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.
25Tedae anih loh thuung ham khaw kawn khueh pawh. Te dongah anih te a boeipa loh a yuu neh a ca rhoek, a khueh boeih te a yoih tih thuung ham ol a paek .
26Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
26Te dongah sal te bakop tih manghai te a bawk. Te phoeiah , “ Kai soah na thinsen sak mai lamtah nang te boeih kan thuung bitni,” a ti nah .
27His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
27Te dongah boei loh a thinphat tih tekah sal te a loeih sak. Te phoeiah a laiba khaw a hlah pah .
28But 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!’
28Tedae tekah sal tah cet tih a sal puei pakhat a hmuh. Te long te anih taengah denarii yakhat a ba. Te vaengah anih te a tuuk tih a khak phoeiah , “ Pakhat na ba akhaw n'thuung laeh,” a ti nah .
29So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
29Te dongah a sal puei loh a yalh doela a hloep , “ Kai soah na thinsen mai dae, nang te kan thuung bitni,” a ti nah .
30But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
30Tedae ngaih pawt tih laiba te a thuung duela thongim khuiah a hlak tih a caeh tak .
31When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.
31Aka om hno te a sal puei rhoek loh a hmuh dongah mat a khothae uh. Te dongah a boei taengla a pawk uh vaengah aka om hno te boeih a thui uh .
32Then the master summoned him and declared, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
32Te vaengah a boei loh anih te a khue tih , ' Sal thae aw, kai nan hloep dongah na docanah boeih te kan hlah ,
33Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
33kai loh nang kang rhen bangla na sal puei te na rhen ham a kuek van moenih a? ' a ti nah .
34In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
34A boeipa loh kosi a hong tih anih te laiba boeih a thuung hlan atah phaepkung rhoek taengah a thak .
35That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
35Te dongah khat rhip loh a manuca te na thinko neh na hlah uh pawt koinih vaan kah a pa loh namamih taengah te tlam ni a saii van eh,” a ti nah .
