1In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
1Di lweqt-nni, inelmaden n Sidna Ɛisa qeṛṛben ɣuṛ-es nnan-as : -- Anwa i d ameqqran di tgelda n igenwan ?
2Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in their midst,
2Sidna Ɛisa yessawel i yiwen weqcic isbedd-it di tlemmast-nsen, yenna :
3and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
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 !
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
4Daymi, win ara yeṣṣemẓin iman-is am weqcic-agi amecṭuḥ, d nețța ara yilin d ameqqran di tgelda n igenwan.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
5Kra win ara yestṛeḥben s weqcic am-agi ɣef ddemma n yisem-iw, yis-i i gesṭerḥeb.
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.
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.
7 “Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
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.
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.
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.
9 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna or, Hell of 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.
10 See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
10Ɣuṛ-wat aț-țḥeqṛem yiwen seg imecṭuḥen-agi axaṭer aql-i nniɣ awen-t : lmalayekkat-nsen deg igenwan, zgant daymen zdat Baba Ṛebbi.
11 For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
11[ Axaṭer Mmi-s n bunadem yusa-d ad isellek wid i gḍaɛen ! ]
12 “What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
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 ?
13 If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
13A wen-iniɣ tideț : ma yufa-ț, ad ifṛeḥ yis akteṛ n țesɛa uțesɛin-nni nniḍen ur neɛṛiq ara.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
14Akken daɣen Baba-twen Ṛebbi yellan deg igenwan, ur yebɣi ara a s-iṛuḥ ula d yiwen seg imecṭuḥen-agi.
15 “If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
15Ma yella twalaḍ gma-k idneb, ṛuḥ ṭṭef-it weḥd-es, nhu-t. Ma yuɣ-ak awal, atan trebḥeḍ-ed gma-k !
16 But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. Deuteronomy 19:15
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.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
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 !
18 Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
18A wen-iniɣ tideț : ayen akk ara teqnem neɣ iwumi ara tserrḥem di ddunit, ad yețwaqbel deg igenwan.
19 Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is 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.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”
20Axaṭer anda ara dduklen sin neɣ tlata s yisem-iw, ad ḥedṛeɣ gar-asen !
21Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
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 :
22Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
22Xaṭi ! Ur k-d-nniɣ ara alamma d sebɛa tikkal, meɛna alamma d sebɛin iberdan sebɛa tikkal !
23 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
23Daymi, tagelda n igenwan tețțemcabi ɣer yiwen ugellid yebɣan ad imḥasab nețța d iqeddacen-is.
24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. Ten thousand talents represents an extremely large sum of money, equivalent to about 60,000,000 denarii, where one denarius was typical of one day’s wages for agricultural labor.
24Akken yebda leḥsab, wwin-as-d yiwen uqeddac iwumi yețțalas imelyunen.
25 But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
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.
26 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
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. »
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
27Imi i t-iɣaḍ aṭas, agellid-nni isumeḥ-as ṭṭlaba-ines iserreḥ-as ad iṛuḥ.
28 “But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, 100 denarii was about one sixtieth of a talent. and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
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 ! »
29 “So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
29Amdakkel-is yeɣli ɣer iḍaṛṛen-is iḥellel-it, yenna-yas : « Sṣbeṛ kra n wussan, ad uɣaleɣ a k-xellṣeɣ ! »
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
30Lameɛna ur yeqbil ara ad isbeṛ, yerra-t ɣer lḥebs, alamma tețwaxelleṣ ṭṭlaba-ines.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
31Iqeddacen nniḍen mi walan ayen yedṛan, iɣaḍ-iten lḥal, dɣa ṛuḥen ṣṣawḍen lexbaṛ i ugellid.
32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
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 ?
33 Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
33Acuɣeṛ ihi ur as-tsumḥeḍ ara i wemdakkel-ik akken i k-sumḥeɣ nekkini ? »
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.
34Agellid-nni yezɛef aṭas, yerra aqeddac-nni ɣer lḥebs, iwakken ad inɛețțab alamma tețwaxelleṣ ṭṭlaba ines.
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
35Akken daɣen ara wen-yexdem Baba Ṛebbi yellan deg igenwan ma ur tețsamaḥem ara i watmaten-nwen seg ul.
