Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:
Amalalu, Yesu da Ea fa: no bobogesu dunu amola dunu huluane ilima amane sia: i,
2 “The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
“Sema Olelesu dunu amola Fa: lisi dunu, ilia da Mousese ea Sema olelemusa: ilegei dagoi.
3 So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
Amaiba: le, ilia olelei huluane nabawane hamoma. Be ilia hou amoma mae fa: no bobogema. Ilia da udigili lafidili olelesa. Be ilia hou da ilia olelesu amo defele hame ba: sa.
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.
Ilia da eno dunuga aguni masa: ne, dioi bagade sema ilia baligia la: gisa. Be ilia da amo dioi liligi dunu fidima: ne gaguia gadomusa: , ilia age da hame molosa.
5 All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
Ilia da dunu eno siga ba: ma: ne, hawa: hamosa. Ilia abula fe nodomene, bagade hamosa. Amola ilia esa mano gisa: gi amo ganodini da Gode Sia: Dedei Buga sia: dedei diala, amo ilia da bagade hamosa.
6 They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,
Ilia da lolo nasu amoga ahoasea amola sinagoge diasuga ahoasea, ilia da hedolo fisu ida: iwane fawane lasa.
7 the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
Ilia da bidi lama: ne legesu diasuga ahoasea, dunu eno da ilima beguduli, ‘Olelesu!’ dio ilima sia: ma: ne, ilia da bagadewane hanai gala.
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
Be dilia! Eno dunu da dilima ‘Olelesu’ dio asulimu da defea hame. Bai dilia da Olelesu afadafa fawane esala. Amola dilia huluane da yolalali agoane gilisili esala.
9 And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
Osobo bagade dunu ilima ‘Ada!’ dio mae asulima. Dilia Ada da afadafa fawane Hebene ganodini esala.
10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.
Eno dunu da dilima ‘Hina!’ dio asulimu da defea hame galebe. Dilia da Hina afadafa fawane esala, amo Yesu Gelesu.
11 The greatest among you shall be your servant.
Nowa dunu da baligi bagade dilia fi amo ganodini esalea, e da dilia hawa: hamosu dunu defele ba: ma: mu.
12 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Nowa dunu da gasa fi hou hamosea, Gode da amo dunu gudu banenesimu. Nowa da ea hou fonobosea, Gode da amo dunu gaguia gadomu,”
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.
Yesu E amane sia: i, “Dilia Sema olelesu dunu amola Fa: lisi dunu da se iasu bagade ba: mu! Dabua fawane molole ogogosu dunu! Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou heda: su logo dilia ga: sisa. Dilia da ganodini hame golili ahoa. Amola dilia da eno hanai dunu ilia logo hedofasa.
Dilia Sema olelesu amola Fa: lisi dunu da se iasu bagade ba: mu! Dabua fawane molole ogogosu dunu! Dilia didalo ilia labe wadela: sa. Amalalu, mae gogosianewane, dunu eno ilia siga ba: ma: ne, dilia da ogogole sia: ne gadosu seda hiougisa. Amaiba: le, dilia se iasu da bagade baligimu.
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)
Dilia Sema olelesu dunu amola Fa: lisi dunu da se iasu bagade ba: mu! Dabua fawane molole ogogosu dunu! Dilia lalegagui dunu afadafa hamomusa: , hano wayabo bagadega amola osobo bagadega lala. Dunu afadafa dilia hou lalegaguli, ea Helo sa: imu logo dilia fodobeba: le, ea wadela: i hou da dilia wadela: i hou baligisa. (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.’
Si dofoi logo olelesu dunu! Dilia da se bagade nabimu! Dilia amane olelesa, ‘Nowa dunu e Debolo Diasu dioba: le, ‘amo da dafawane’ ilegele sia: sea, e da ea sia: i liligi fisimu da defea. Be e da gouli Debolo Diasu ganodini gala amoga ‘amo da dafawane’ ilegele sia: sea, ea sia: i yolemu da sema bagade.’
17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?
Dilia si dofoi gagaoui dunu! Dilia da hamedafa ba: sa. Debolo Diasu ea hadigi hou da gouli amo hadigi hamobeba: le, Debolo Diasu ea hou da gouli ea hou baligi dagoi.
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.’
Dilia olelesu eno da agoaiwane gala, ‘Nowa da oloda ea dioba: le ilegele sia: sea, ea sia: i liligi fisimu da defea. Be oloda da: iya Godema imunusa: liligi, amoba: le ilegele sia: sea, ea sia: i yolemu da sema bagade, dilia da sia: sa.
19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?
Dilia si dofoi dunu! Oloda ea hadigi hou da iasu liligi amo hadigi hamobeba: le, oloda ea hou da amo da: iya iasu liligi baligi dagoi.
20 So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
Nowa da olodaba: le ilegele sia: sea, e da oloda amola oloda da: iya ligisi liligi amoga gilisili ilegele sia: sa.
21 And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.
Nowa da Debolo Diasuba: le ilegele sia: sea, e da Debolo Diasu amola Debolo Diasu ganodini esala dunu Gode, amoga gilisili ilegele sia: sa
22 And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.
Nowa da Hebeneba: le ilegele sia: sea, e da Gode Ea Fisu amola Gode amo fisuga fibi amoba: le ilegele sia: sa.
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.
Dilia Sema olelesu dunu amola Fa: lisi dunu da se iasu bagade ba: mu! Dabua fawane molole ogogosu dunu! Dilia fonobahadi hedama: ne fodole nasu liligi (amo ‘minede’, ‘dili’ amola ‘gamini’) amo dawa: le, amo nabuane mogili, afadafa Godema iaha. Be bagade liligi, amo semadafa, moloiwane fofada: su hou, gogolema: ne olofosu hou amola dafawaneyale dawa: su hou, dilia hame hamosa. Amo fonobahadi liligi mae gogolema. Be bagade liligi amola, dilia gilisili hamomu da defea galu.
24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
Si dofoi logo olelesu dunu! Dilia wadela: i liligi nasa: besa: le, waini dabaga sogadigili, afe fadegasa. Be dilia da ga: mele bagade da: gisa.
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.
Dilia Sema olelesu amola Fa: lisi dunu da se iasu bagade ba: mu! Dabua fawane molole ogogosu dunu! Dilia faigelei amola yaeya dabuagado fawane dodofesa. Be ganodini da ledo agoane uasu amola hanaiba: le lasu hou bagade diala.
26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.
Si dofoi Fa: lisi dunu! Hidadea faigelei ea gelabo ganodini dodofema! Amasea, dilia da dabuagado amola dodofei dagoi ba: mu.
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.
Dilia Sema olelesu amola Fa: lisi dunu da se iasu bagade ba: mu! Dabua fawane molole ogogosu dunu! Dilia da bogoi ea gele gelabo soa: iai legesu amoga legei agoane diala. Dabuagado da ida: iwane ba: sa. Be ganodini da bogoi ea gasa, gaha amola ledo fawane diala.
28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
Dilia amola dabuagado da ida: iwane ba: sa. Be ganodini, dilia dogo da ogogosu amola hame nabasu hou amoga nabai diala.
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.
Dilia Sema olelesu dunu amola Fa: lisi dunu da se iasu bagade ba: mu! Dilia Dabua fawane molole ogogosu dunu! Dilia da balofede dunu bogoi amo ilia gele gelabo hamosa, amola hou ida: iwane dunu bogoi ilia gele gelabo nina: hamosa.
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.’
Dilia da amane sia: sa, ‘Ninia da ninia aowalalia ilia esoga esalu ganiaba, ninia da balofede dunu amo ilia medole legei amo hame medole legela: loba.’
31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
Dilia da amo sia: sia: beba: le, dilia da balofede dunu ilia fasu dunu amo ilia mano esala, dilia da olelesa.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.
Defea, dilia hemone aowalalia hemosu hou dagoma!
Wadela: i sania fi! Dilia da Helo se iasu sogega mae doaga: ma: ne, hobeamu logo hamedafa ba: mu. (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.
Na da balofede dunu, bagade dawa: su dunu, amola gaheabolo sema olelesu dunu dilima asunasimu. Mogili dilia da fane legele, bulufalegeiga dabagala: mu. Mogili dilia sinagoge diasu ganodini fegasuga fane, diasu enoga diasu enoga, mae yolele sefasimu.
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.
Amaiba: le, se iasu da dilima doaga: mu! Hemonega A: ibele bogoi, amalalu, asili Sa: galaia (Belegaia egefe) dilia aowalalia da Debolo Diasu amola oloda dogoa sogebiga medole legei. Dilia aowalalia da amo hou ida: iwane dunu medole legeiba: le, amo se dabe iasu da dilima doaga: mu.
36 Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
Na dilima dafawane sia: sa! Amo maga: me se iasu dabe huluane, wali fi diala da ba: mu.”
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!
“Yelusaleme fi! Yelusaleme fi! Dilia da balofede dunu medole legesa. Dilia da Gode asunasi dunu igiga medosa. Gagala ea mano fidima: ne, ea ougia hagudu gilisisa, amo defele Na da dili gaga: ma: ne gilisimusa: hanai galu. Be dilia da higa: i.
38 Look, your house is left to you desolate.
Amaiba: le, dilia Debolo Diasu da fisi dagoi amola gelabai ba: mu.
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.’”
Na dilima sia: sa! Dilia da Na hamedafa ba: mu amogainini dilia da ‘Gode da Hina Gode Ea Dio lai Dunuma hahawane bagade dogolegele hamosa!’ amo sia: mu.
