1At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?
1To nathuem ah hnukbang kaminawk Jesu khaeah caeh o moe, siangpahrang mah uk ih van prae ah mi maw len koek tih? tiah a dueng o.
2And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,
2Jesu mah angmah khaeah nawkta ta to kawk moe, nihcae salakah ohsak.
3And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
3Nihcae khaeah, Loktang kang thuih o, poek nam khraih o moe, nawkta ta baktiah na om o ai nahaeloe, van prae thungah na kun o thai mak ai.
4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
4To pongah mi kawbaktih doeh hae nawkta ta baktiah poek pahnaemhaih hoiah khosah kami loe, van prae ah kalen koek kami ah om tih.
5And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
5Mi kawbaktih doeh nawkta to hae tiah ka hmin hoiah talawk kami loe kai talawk kami ah ni oh.
6But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.
6Toe kai tanghaih tawn hae nawktanawk thung ih kami maeto khaeah zaehaih sahsak kami loe, cangkaehhaih thlung tahnong ah a oihsak moe, kathuk tuipui thungah pakhrak nahaeloe anih han hoih kue tih.
7Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.
7Sakpazaehaih hmuen pongah long loe khosak bing! To baktih hmuen sakpazaehaih loe kaom han ih roe ni; toe hmuen sakpazaehaih omsak kami loe khosak bing!
8And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.
8Na ban mah maw, to tih ai boeh loe na khok mah maw hmuen sah pazae nahaeloe takroek pat ah loe, va ving ah: ban hnetto hoi khok hnetto akoep ah dungzan hmai thungah na krak pongah loe, takpum akoep ai ah hinghaih thungah akun to hoih kue.
9And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
9Na mik mah hmuen sahpazae nahaeloe, taprok dok ah loe, va ving ah: mik hnetto hoi hell hmai thungah na krak pongah loe, mik maeto hoiah hinghaih thungah akun to hoih kue.
10See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
10Hae nawktanawk thung ih kami maeto doeh na hnap o han ai ah acoe oh; kang thuih o, nihcae ih van kaminawk mah loe van ah kaom kam Pa ih mikhmai to a hnuk o toepsoep.
11For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
11Kami Capa loe kanghmaa kami pahlong han ih ni angzoh.
12What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that which is gone astray?
12Kawbangah maw na poek o? Kami maeto loe tuu cumvaito tawnh, tuu maeto loklam amkhraeng ving nahaeloe, anih mah qui takawt, takawtto tuu to caehtaak sut ueloe, mae nuiah a caeh pacoengah, lam amkhraeng ving tuu maeto to pakrong mak ai maw?
13And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.
13Loktang kang thuih o, anih loe lam amkhraeng ai tuu qui takawt, takawtto pongah, a hnuk ih tuu anghmaa maeto nuiah palung anghoe kue.
14Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
14To baktih toengah van ah kaom nangcae Ampa loe, hae nawktanawk thung ih kami maeto mataeng doeh anghmatsak han koeh ai.
15But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.
15Nam nawkamya mah na nuiah hmuen sah pazae nahaeloe, caeh ah loe, a zaehaih to nangma hnik salak khue ah thui ah: na thuih ih lok to anih mah tahngai nahaeloe, anih to na pazawk.
16And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.
16Toe anih mah na lok tahgai ai nahaeloe, kami hnetto maw, to tih ai boeh loe thumto hoiah maw caeh ah, hnukung kami hnetto maw, to tih ai boh loe thumto hoiah maw lokcaek ah.
17And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.
17Anih mah nihcae ih lok tahgai ai bae nahaeloe, kricabu khaeah thui ah: kricabu mah thuih ih lok doeh tahngai ai vop nahaeloe, anih to taksa kami hoi tamut cong kami baktiah poek oh.
18Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.
18Loktang kang thuih o, Long nuiah na taoengh o ih hmuen boih van ah taoeng ueloe, long nuiah na khram o ih hmuen boih van ah khram tih.
19Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning any thing whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven.
19Kang thui o let bae, Long nuiah kami hnetto mah poek anghmonghaih hoiah kawbaktih hmuen doeh hnih nahaeloe, van ah kaom kam Pa mah nihnik hanah sah pae tih.
20For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
20Kai ih ahmin hoiah kami hnetto maw, thumto maw angpophaih ahmuen ah, nihcae salakah kai ka oh, tiah a naa.
21Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
21To naah Piter to Jesu khaeah caeh moe, Angraeng kam nawkamya mah ka nuiah hmuen sak pazae naah, vai nazetto maw ka tahmen han? Vai sarihto maw? tiah a naa.
22Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.
22Jesu mah anih khaeah, Kang thuih, vai sarihto khue na ai: qui sarih, alet sarih karoek to, tiah a naa.
23Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.
23To pongah van prae loe siangpahrang maeto mah, a tamnanawk khaeah laiba sukhaih hoiah anghmong.
24And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
24Anih mah laiba phoisa kroek amtong naah, phoisa sang hato laiba tawn kami maeto, anih khaeah hoih o.
25And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.
25Anih loe laiba pathok thai ai pongah, phoisa coisakkung mah, a zu a caa hoi a tawnh ih hmuenmae boih zawh pacoengah, laiba pathok hanah lok a thuih pae.
26But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
26To naah tamna loe anih hma ah tabok moe, tahmenhaih hnik, Angraeng, na tahmen raeh, kang pathok boih han hmang, tiah a naa.
27And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.
27Tamna ih angraeng mah anih to tahmen moe, laiba to loihsak boih.
28But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.
28Toe to tamna loe tasa bangah tacawt naah, anih khaeah phoisa cumvaito kacoi, tamnanawk thungah kaom angmah ih ampui maeto a hnuk: anih to tahnong ah patawnh moe, laiba na pathok lai ah, tiah a naa.
29And his fellow servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
29Angmah ih ampui tamna loe anih khokkung ah tabok moe, na tahmen raeh, kang pathok boih han hmang, tiah tahmenhaih hnik.
30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.
30Toe anih to prawt ai: laiba pathok boih ai karoek to anih to thongim thungah pakhrak.
31Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came and told their lord all that was done.
31Angmah ih ampui tamnanawk mah to tiah sak ih hmuen to hnuk o naah, paroeai palung set o, nihcae loe caeh o moe, anih mah sak ih hmuennawk to angmacae ih angraeng khaeah a thuih pae o.
32Then his lord called him; and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:
32To naah angmah ih angraeng mah, anih to kawk moe, anih khaeah, Aw kahoih ai kami tamna nang, kai khaeah tahmenhaih nang hnik pongah nang baa ih laiba to kang tahmen boih moe, kang loihsak:
33Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?
33na nuiah tahmenhaih ka tawnh baktih toengah, nam puinawk nuiah tahmenhaih na tawn toeng han oh bae? tiah a naa.
34And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.
34Anih ih angraeng loe palungphui moe, laiba pathok boih ai karoek to tamna to thongim pakhrah kaminawk khaeah a paek.
35So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
35Nangcae doeh nam nawkamya zaehaih tahmen han na koeh o ai nahaeloe, van ah kaom kam Pa mah nangcae nuiah to tiah sah toeng tih, tiah a naa.
