1Di lweqt-nni, inelmaden n Sidna Ɛisa qeṛṛben ɣuṛ-es nnan-as : -- Anwa i d ameqqran di tgelda n igenwan ?
1In that hour the disciples came to Jesus saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens?
2Sidna Ɛisa yessawel i yiwen weqcic isbedd-it di tlemmast-nsen, yenna :
2And Jesus having called a little child to [him], set it in their midst,
3A wen-d-iniɣ tideț ; ma yella ur d-tuɣalem ara ɣer webrid, m'ur teqbilem ara aț-țilim .am arrac imecṭuḥen, ur tkeččmem ara ɣer tgelda n igenwan !
3and said, Verily I say to you, Unless ye are converted and become as little children, ye will not at all enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
4Daymi, win ara yeṣṣemẓin iman-is am weqcic-agi amecṭuḥ, d nețța ara yilin d ameqqran di tgelda n igenwan.
4Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, *he* is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens;
5Kra win ara yestṛeḥben s weqcic am-agi ɣef ddemma n yisem-iw, yis-i i gesṭerḥeb.
5and whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receives me.
6Win ara yesseɣlin di ddnub ula d yiwen seg imecṭuḥen-agi yumnen yis-i, axiṛ-as a s-cudden aɣaṛef n tsirt ɣer temgeṛṭ-is, a t-ḍeggṛen ɣer lebḥeṛ ad iɣṛeq.
6But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.
7A tawaɣit n ddunit-a, imi qwant tsebbiwin n tuccḍa ! Axaṭer tisebbiwin n tuccḍa ulamek ur d-țilint ara. Meɛna a nnger n win ara yilin d sebba-nsent.
7Woe to the world because of offences! For it must needs be that offences come; yet woe to that man by whom the offence comes!
8Ma yella d afus-ik neɣ d aḍaṛ-ik ara k-yesseɣlin di ddnub, gzem-iten, ḍeggeṛ-iten akkin fell-ak, axiṛ-ak aț-țiliḍ di ddunit d aɛiban wala aț-țesɛuḍ sin iḍaṛṛen neɣ sin ifassen, aț-țwaḍeggṛeḍ ɣer tmes ur nxețți.
8And if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut it off and cast [it] from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life lame or maimed, [rather] than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire.
9Ma yella daɣen ț-țiṭ-ik ara k-yawin ɣer ddnub, qleɛ-iț ḍeggeṛ-iț akkin fell-ak ; axiṛ-ik aț-țiliḍ di ddunit s yiwet n tiṭ wala aț-țesɛuḍ snat wallen, aț- țwaḍeggṛeḍ ɣer tmes n ǧahennama.
9And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast [it] from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life one-eyed, [rather] than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.
10Ɣuṛ-wat aț-țḥeqṛem yiwen seg imecṭuḥen-agi axaṭer aql-i nniɣ awen-t : lmalayekkat-nsen deg igenwan, zgant daymen zdat Baba Ṛebbi.
10See that ye do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you that their angels in [the] heavens continually behold the face of my Father who is in [the] heavens.
11[ Axaṭer Mmi-s n bunadem yusa-d ad isellek wid i gḍaɛen ! ]
11For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.
12D acu twalam ? Ma yella win yesɛan meyya wulli dɣa teɛṛeq-as yiwet deg-sent, ur ițțaǧa ara țesɛa uțesɛin-nni nniḍen di lexla iwakken a d-inadi ɣef tin i s-iɛeṛqen ?
12What think ye? If a certain man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not, leaving the ninety and nine on the mountains, go and seek the one that has gone astray?
13A wen-iniɣ tideț : ma yufa-ț, ad ifṛeḥ yis akteṛ n țesɛa uțesɛin-nni nniḍen ur neɛṛiq ara.
13And if it should come to pass that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices more because of it than because of the ninety and nine not gone astray.
14Akken daɣen Baba-twen Ṛebbi yellan deg igenwan, ur yebɣi ara a s-iṛuḥ ula d yiwen seg imecṭuḥen-agi.
14So it is not the will of your Father who is in [the] heavens that one of these little ones should perish.
15Ma yella twalaḍ gma-k idneb, ṛuḥ ṭṭef-it weḥd-es, nhu-t. Ma yuɣ-ak awal, atan trebḥeḍ-ed gma-k !
15But if thy brother sin against thee, go, reprove him between thee and him alone. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16Meɛna ma igumma a k-d-isel, awi yiwen neɣ sin yemdanen yid-ek, iwakken ad ilin d inigan m'ara tefru temsalt , akken i d-tenna ccariɛa.
16But if he do not hear [thee], take with thee one or two besides, that every matter may stand upon the word of two witnesses or of three.
17Ma yugi a sen-isel, ssiweḍ tamsalt ɣer tejmaɛt n watmaten, m'ur iḥess ara ula i tejmaɛt-nni, ḥseb-it am akken d akafriw neɣ d amekkas axabit !
17But if he will not listen to them, tell it to the assembly; and if also he will not listen to the assembly, let him be to thee as one of the nations and a tax-gatherer.
18A wen-iniɣ tideț : ayen akk ara teqnem neɣ iwumi ara tserrḥem di ddunit, ad yețwaqbel deg igenwan.
18Verily I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on the earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19A wen-iniɣ daɣen s tideț : ma yella sin seg-wen ddukklen iwakken ad ssutren kra di tẓallit, Baba Ṛebbi yellan deg igenwan, a sen-t-id-yefk.
19Again I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever it may be that they shall ask, it shall come to them from my Father who is in [the] heavens.
20Axaṭer anda ara dduklen sin neɣ tlata s yisem-iw, ad ḥedṛeɣ gar-asen !
20For where two or three are gathered together unto my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21Imiren Buṭrus iqeṛṛeb ɣuṛ-es yenna-yas : A Sidi, acḥal n tikkal ilaq ad semḥeɣ i gma ma yeḍlem-iyi, armi d sebɛa n tikkal ? SSidna Ɛisa yerra yas :
21Then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? until seven times?
22Xaṭi ! Ur k-d-nniɣ ara alamma d sebɛa tikkal, meɛna alamma d sebɛin iberdan sebɛa tikkal !
22Jesus says to him, I say not to thee until seven times, but until seventy times seven.
23Daymi, tagelda n igenwan tețțemcabi ɣer yiwen ugellid yebɣan ad imḥasab nețța d iqeddacen-is.
23For this cause the kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who would reckon with his bondmen.
24Akken yebda leḥsab, wwin-as-d yiwen uqeddac iwumi yețțalas imelyunen.
24And having begun to reckon, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
25Imi ur yesɛi ara s wacu ara ixelleṣ, agellid-nni ifka lameṛ a ten-zzenzen d aklan, s nețța s tmeṭṭut-is, s warraw-is d wayen akk yesɛa, iwakken ad ixelleṣ ṭṭlaba-ines.
25But he not having anything to pay, [his] lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and his children, and everything that he had, and that payment should be made.
26Aqeddac-nni yeɣli ɣer iḍaṛṛen n ugellid, iḥellel-it yenna-yas : «` A Sidi, ṣṣbeṛ kra wussan, ad uɣaleɣ a k-xellṣeɣ ayen akk i yi tețțalaseḍ. »
26The bondman therefore falling down did him homage, saying, Lord, have patience with me and I will pay thee all.
27Imi i t-iɣaḍ aṭas, agellid-nni isumeḥ-as ṭṭlaba-ines iserreḥ-as ad iṛuḥ.
27And the lord of that bondman, being moved with compassion, loosed him and forgave him the loan.
28Akken kan i d-iffeɣ uqeddac-nni immuger-ed yiwen seg imdukkal-is ixeddmen yid-es, iwumi yețțalas kra n iṣurdiyen. IIkker ɣuṛ-es yeṭṭef-it si temgeṛṭ yeqqaṛ-as : « Err-iyi-d ayen i k țțalaseɣ ! »
28But that bondman having gone out, found one of his fellow-bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having seized him, he throttled him, saying, Pay [me] if thou owest anything.
29Amdakkel-is yeɣli ɣer iḍaṛṛen-is iḥellel-it, yenna-yas : « Sṣbeṛ kra n wussan, ad uɣaleɣ a k-xellṣeɣ ! »
29His fellow-bondman therefore, having fallen down [at his feet], besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.
30Lameɛna ur yeqbil ara ad isbeṛ, yerra-t ɣer lḥebs, alamma tețwaxelleṣ ṭṭlaba-ines.
30But he would not, but went away and cast him into prison, until he should pay what was owing.
31Iqeddacen nniḍen mi walan ayen yedṛan, iɣaḍ-iten lḥal, dɣa ṛuḥen ṣṣawḍen lexbaṛ i ugellid.
31But his fellow-bondmen, having seen what had taken place, were greatly grieved, and went and recounted to their lord all that had taken place.
32Agellid iceggeɛ ɣer uqeddac-nni akken a d-yas, dɣa yenna-yas : « A yir amdan ! Mi tețḥellileḍ deg-i, eɛni ur k-sumḥeɣ ara akk ṭṭlaba-inek ?
32Then his lord, having called him to [him], says to him, Wicked bondman! I forgave thee all that debt because thou besoughtest me;
33Acuɣeṛ ihi ur as-tsumḥeḍ ara i wemdakkel-ik akken i k-sumḥeɣ nekkini ? »
33shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow-bondman, as *I* also had compassion on thee?
34Agellid-nni yezɛef aṭas, yerra aqeddac-nni ɣer lḥebs, iwakken ad inɛețțab alamma tețwaxelleṣ ṭṭlaba ines.
34And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormentors till he paid all that was owing to him.
35Akken daɣen ara wen-yexdem Baba Ṛebbi yellan deg igenwan ma ur tețsamaḥem ara i watmaten-nwen seg ul.
35Thus also my heavenly Father shall do to you if ye forgive not from your hearts every one his brother.
