Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples, saying,
Mbe niwo Yesu naika na liijo na bhweigisibhwa bhae naika ati,
2 The scholars and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat.
“Abhandiki na Bhafalisayo bheyanjie echitebhe cha Musa.
3 All things therefore, however many they may tell you to observe, observe and do, but do not ye according to their works, for they say, and do not.
Mbe emisango jone jinu abhabhabhwila mujikole nokujigwata. Nawe mutakukolaga lwakutyo abhene abhakola, kubha okwaika abhaika nawe bhatakukola.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and difficult to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders, but they do not want to move them with their finger.
Nchimali, abhobhoya migugu misito jinu jitakwitwikwa, nibhajitwikya abhanu kumabhega. Nawe abhene bhatakwenda kujinamusha na Chala chebhwe.
5 But all their works they do in order to be seen by men. And they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the hems of their garments.
Ebhikolwa bhwebhye bhyona, abhabhikola abhanu bhabhilole. Okubha abhagaliya amasandikwa gebhwe no kwongesha obhunene bhwe bhifwalo.
6 And they love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Ka abhenda obhwinyanjo bhwa imbele kumalya na kubhitebhe bhye chibhalo mu mekofyanyisho.
7 and the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be designated by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
No kukesibhwa mumagulilo, no kutogwa na bhanu ati “Labhi” (bheigisha).
8 But be ye not designated Rabbi, for one is your leader, the Christ, and ye are all brothers.
Nawe emwe mutatogwa “bheigisha”. Okubha omwiigisha wemwe ni umwi. Na nemwe bhona muli bhanda imwi.
9 And do not designate a father of you upon the earth, for one is your Father, he in the heavens.
Mwasiga kumutoga munu wona wona ku chalo ati esomwana, okubha munage esomwana umwila, niwe ali mulwile.
10 And be ye not designated leaders, for one is your leader, the Christ.
Nawe mwasiga kutogwa “Bheigisha” Okubha munage Mwiigisha umwila niwe Kristo.
11 But the greater of you will be your helper.
Tali unu ali mukulu agati yemwe abhe mukosi wemwe.
12 And he who will exalt himself will be made low, and he who will make himself low will be exalted.
Wona wona unu kekusha alikeibhwa. Na unu wona kekeya alikisibhwa.
13 Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye close up the kingdom of the heavens ahead of men. For ye enter not in, nor do ye allow those who are entering to enter in.
Nawe jilibhabhona abhandiki na Mafarisayo, bhalulimi omubhegalila abhanu Obhukama bhwa mulwile. Ka nemwe mutakwingila, Ka mutakubhekilisha abho abhengila abhengila okukola kutyo.
14 But woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye devour widows' houses, and praying long in pretence. Because of this ye will receive greater condemnation.
(Komelesha: olugobho olwa 14 lutakubhonekana mu maandiko ga kisi aga kala. Agandi aga maandiko jongesishe olungobho lunu 12. olugobho lwa 14 “jilibhabhona abhandiki na bhafarisayo bhalulimi! Okubha omubhamila abhatumbagasi”).
15 Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye encompass the sea and the land to make one proselyte, and when it happens, ye make him twice more a son of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Nawe jilibhabhona abhandiki na bhafarisayo, bhalulimi! omwambuka ku chalo na munyanja kukinga okumuchusha omunu umwi ekilishe ganu omwiigisha, akamala okubha lwemwe nimumukola lwa kabhili kubha mwana wa mumulilo gunyatasima lwemwe abhene kutyo muli. (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe to you, ye blind guides, who say, Whoever may swear by the temple, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.
Jilibhabhona emwe abhatangasha bhaofu, bhanu omwaika ati, omunu wona unu alalailaga mu iyekalu, Iyekalu chitali chinu. Nawe unu alalailaga ku ijaabhu ya Muyekalu abhoyelwe na libhaja lyaye.
17 Ye foolish and blind men, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
Emwe bhaofu na abhatamu-tamu okubha echikulu ni chiya, Ijaabhu Angu Iyekalu linu liteyemo echogo ijaabhu ku Nyamuanga?
18 And, Whoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by the gift upon it, he is obligated.
Lindi, wone wone unu kalailila kuchoto Cho okugabhilila chitali chinu, nawe unu kalailila echiyanwa chinu chili ingulu yaye, abhoyelwe na libhanja lyaye.
19 Ye foolish and blind men, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
Emwe abhanu abhaofu, echikulu ni chiya kuchindi, echiyanwa tele echoto echo echitao okwesha ebhiyanwa bhinu ebhisosibhwa ku Nyamuanga?
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all things on it.
Nawe unu kalaila ku choto kalaila kwicho na kubhinu bhyone bhinu bhili ingulu yacho.
21 And he who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
Na unu kalaila ku Iyekalu, kalaila kwilyo na kumwene unu aikayemo.
22 And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits upon it.
Na unu kalaila kulwile, kalaila ku chitebhe cho bhutelo echa Nyamuanga no mwene unu enyanjile ingulu yacho.
23 Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye tithe the mint and the anise and the cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law-justice and mercy and faith. These things must be done, and not neglecting those things.
Jilibhabhona, emwe abhandiki na abhafarisayo, bhalulimi! Kulwo kubha omusosha omugabho gwa likumi gwe bhilungo, Mnaanaa no muchicha, nawe mwasigile emisango emikulu ejebhilagilo, ejo kulema okwitililanya, nechigongo no kwikilisha. Nawe bhinu bhiile okubhikola na mutasiga agandi mutagakumisishe.
24 Ye blind guides, who strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel.
Emwe bhatangasha bhaofu, omusekesha akasami nawe nimumila ingamia!
25 Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but inside they are full of plunder and unrighteousness.
Jilibhabhona, emwe abhandiki na bhafarisayo, bhalulimi! okubha omwosha anja ye bhikombe na anja ya isaani, kenu Munda bhijuye obhusakusi no kulema okwibhalilila.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, so that the outside of them may also become clean.
Emwe Mafarisayo abhaofu tangata okwamba mwoshe Munda ye bhikombe na Munda isaani koleleki anja one bhibhe bhelu.
27 Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye are like whitewashed tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Jilibhabhona abhene, abhandik na abhfarisayo, bhalumi! okubha omususana ne ebhitulo bhinu bhipambilwe ichokaa, anja yabyo ebhibhonekana bhikondele nawe, Munda bhijuye amawa gabhafuye bhuli chinu chili chijabhi.
28 In this way also, ye indeed outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside ye are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Niko kutyo, emwe one ingulu omubhonekana ati muli bhalengelesi ku bhanu, nawe Munda mwijuye olulimi no bhwikoti. jibhabhona emwe, abhandiki na Bhafarisayo,
29 Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the sepulchers of the righteous,
bhalulimi! okubha omumbaka ebhitulo bhya bhalangi nimuchuma ebhitulo bhya bhalengelesi.
30 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Emwe omwaika ati, chibha chikaye musiku jabhajaji weswe, chitakabhee chisangie amwi nabho okwitila jisagama ja Bhalangi.
31 So then ye testify to yourselves that ye are sons of those who murdered the prophets.
Nikwo kutyo omwibhula abhene ati emwe mulibhana bhabhanu bhetilwe abhalangi.
32 Then fill ye up the measure of your fathers.
Mbe emwe one omwikuisha okwijusha idengo inu iile echikayo chabhesomwana.
33 Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how will ye escape from the damnation of hell? (Geenna g1067)
Emwe jinjoka, abhana bhajimili, muliluka kutiki intambala ya indamu ya omulilo gunu gutalisima? (Geenna g1067)
34 Because of this, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scholars. And some of them ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will persecute from city to city,
Lola nikwo, enikola, nibatumila Abhalangi, abhanu abho bhwengeso na bhandiki. abhandi mwabho omubheta no kubhabhamba abhandi mwabho mulibhabhuma Munda ya mekofyanyisho gemwe no kubhabhamba okusoka mumusi gumwi okuja mugundi.
35 so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.
Chinu chililubhila ingulu yemwe mwijilwe amanyinga gone agabhalengelesi ganu getikile kuchalo, okwambila isagama ya Abeli omulengilesi okukinga kusangama ya Jakalia omwana wa Balanki a unu mwetie agati yaiyekalu nechoto chokugabhilila.
36 Truly I say to you, that all these things will come upon this generation.
Nichimali enibhabhwila ati amagambo ganu gone agalubhona olwibhulo lunu.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who have been sent to her. How often I wanted to gathered thy children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and ye would not.
Yelusalemu, Yelusalemu, awe unu owitinga Abhalangi no kubhalasa na mabhui bhalia abhatumwa kwawe! nikwia kalinga enibhakumanya abhana bhao amwi lwain'goko eikumanya obhana Koko emwalo ya mabhabha gayo, nawe atekilisishe!
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
Lola, inyumba yao yasigala elugu.
39 For I say to you, ye will, no, not see me henceforth, until ye say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Lola enikubhwila ati, okwambila oli nokugendelela utalisubha kundola okukinga lunu ulyaika, analibhando unu alija kwisina lya Latabhugenyi.”
