Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:
la kiritti yi tartare kange bi bei tomangece
2 “The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
coki nob werfundo kange faricawa ciyim fiye muca
3 So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
la nyori gwam dige ci yikom makerii kom mani wuro diger kimer ki tam yora dila kom mare dige ci manang tiye wori ci tkang dige ti mani ci manangti cuko.
4 They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
cibwa kulen tunyoti, wuro bwai tukakke ci tu mwer nubo nin lakgwom la ciyeuw ki bwi ci mani ciya tar biwure ciyeti tu
5 All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
gwam nanange ciyero cikin manin nubo nato ciki cur bi la ciye bi fumer ciyero ce ki tokko ci kwirang cunga tinin beileti.
6 They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,
ki cwi yulangka fiye ti nin yimem ciyem tolnyiyer kange yulangka fiye yime ciyeu bikur kwama
7 the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
kange yarume yaruma na wa kungum dore fiye miyeka kange tiyenka na ciya cuwo citi kini meranka
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
la kebo wo ciya cuwo kom tini meranka nyonin dige bwiyeu ni meren kakko win kom cike, kom gwam kom bi yitinim.
9 And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
ki cuwore ni kange teki kume fo kalewo dige biyeu tee win kom cike, diki nodi
10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.
kom ciya ciwo kom de nobbifime dige bwiyeu ni bi fimer ki merowin co bi bwe kwama
11 The greatest among you shall be your servant.
di ni wo yilam dur tiber ki nureu na yilam canga kime
12 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
gwam niwo kung dor mwor dige gwam niwo tubo dorr cere ci kebo kange ni dur
13 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let in those who wish to enter.
di la daten bo nyo nob mulanka kange faricawa nubo bwit kom ten nubo nin yilok doka lo kwama kom dobo kom dobbo nubo cwi doka tiyeu na dou
daten bo nyo kom nob mulanka kange faricawa nyo kom nuwa natub kwilibti do tange
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You traverse land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are. (Geenna g1067)
da ten bo nyo kom mulanka kange faricawa nobo bwit kom bwilangti digge wimer kange tineni du wonka ni merangka win bi wine na ki kom fiyam kom mamco konidi lengtidi yulan kumero nyo di yilam ni kere ne kom (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’
da ten bo nyo kom fukma bo yame kom wuro kom tokti niwo werum kange ku kwamari kebo kange diger lagwam niwo werum kange mwindo ku kwamari weri ce fiyem fiye yime.
17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?
kom kula fukwa tinim na wini la bidwi yere mwindo kakka ku kwama wiyeu na wo manki dwitiye mwindo
18 And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.’
tano wo werum kange tanjilandowu cakke kebo diger tano niwo werum ki kiye mero ci yoti dor cereri weri ceu tomco
19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?
kom fukma ti nimbo na wini wo durke kimer ku kwama kakka win mwabe wuro mwer kwama nin kiyemer tiye?
20 So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
tano nyo gwam niwo werunki tanjilando wucakke werum gwam co kange dige dorcere
21 And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.
tano niwo werum ki kwamari werum kango co wo fwer cereu
22 And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.
tano gwam niwo werum ki di kwamari liyar kwama kange wo yim dor cereu
23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
daten bo faricawa kange nob mulang kanb nobo bwit kom cokkom luma renek ywerek kange kule kange lam cur la kom mirang bilengke wuro tu nyo weu. yona wucak, cire duwe, bitinke cu wura daten ka matiye kebo na wuro kom cutang. tang nini bo wiye
24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
fukma yame mwem nuwa kungkunge nin kange dige kangem nyori mwon mim tecembo
25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
daten bo kom nob mulangka kange faricawa nubo bwit kom nir bwim kwimkwelmwengeti kange kwele la mordi dimka bwirangke kange fitrerer
26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.
no fukma nubo bwit ter yiwelka bwim kwele kwelmweu na bwim ciyemba yimki yorak
27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity.
daten bo kom nob mulankab kange faricawa nubo bwit na tuweti nim kumembo tami bitine fwor wiye kum ma curo nobo to yaran kume ko kale firer mwordi kom kuk nubo bwiyam kanga dwiti dimer kidimen
28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
nyo fo nuwe nobo kom la firer mwor di kang bwirankeret kange nero fit mwor.
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.
daten bo nyo kom nob mulang kab kange faricawa kom ki tuwe nob dugumeb la kom yulangum tuwe nob bilike
30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’
kom tokti komki no yitin nowi ki kwama teb nyebe nin nonyiti necibo filan curka bwi yale nob dugume
31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
na curo nyeu nung dor kimero kom bi bei kwalka nob dugume
32 Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.
di la okm dim cuwa ka kwama
na cweti nini kom bi nob bwit mana ka dorti nokom bwolang kwama (Geenna g1067)
34 Because of this, I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and others you will flog in your synagogues and persecute in town after town.
tano nyodi to, mitom ki men nob dugumeti, kange kange kanlangnbo kom twalangum kangukab ci naci kulkenki kam ma kangam bo benjange kurbi wubit kumer kom bwanten citi cinat lor cinar lot
35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
maka ko nyeu dige kom manange dwiti bwile nobo kendo gwam wo curi fo kaleweu yileken fo dor kimer tau fo bwiyale tabila yaken cuko zakka bi bwa bara kiya wuro kom twqlum co tiber kur bi wubir kange tanjilan do wuca ke
36 Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
bilinke miyikom tiye gwam niwe ca kung kutume ti dor nubo kalewo
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
urucalima, urucalima mwo wuro twanong nob tomange miyila mu bang nubo ci tom mwemeu ki terertini kiritti nyi min cwi nan murangu nen na wuro bi cake ki muragu de bi bei yo loce tibir tangum ceme munko
38 Look, your house is left to you desolate.
nwo cin nob kimen lokume fwengteng
39 For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
minyu mi yikoti mana ka toyeti tok, no ki diye ki tokkeri, bibwiroyo ati dor niwo bouti kiden teluwereu.
