Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds, and to his disciples,
Kungai a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje bhandunji bhagumbelenje na bhaajiganywa bhabho, bhalinkuti.
2 saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down in the chair of Moses.
Bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo bhashipegwanga ukulungwa gwa shitengu sha a Musha.
3 Therefore, all things whatsoever that they shall say to you, observe and do. Yet truly, do not choose to act according to their works. For they say, but they do not do.
Kwa nneyo nkamulanje na tenda shoshowe shishibhannugulilanje. Ikabheje nnakaguyanje itendi yabhonji, pabha bhakaatendanga malinga shibhaajiganyanga.
4 For they bind up heavy and unbearable burdens, and they impose them on men’s shoulders. But they are not willing to move them with even a finger of their own.
Bhanatabhanga mishigo ja topa nikwaatwikanga bhandunji mmakoyo, ikabheje ashaayenenji bhakapinganga kujangutila nkali kwa lukowe.
5 Truly, they do all their works so that they may be seen by men. For they enlarge their phylacteries and glorify their hems.
Bhanatendanga itendi yabhonji nkupinga bhalolwanje na bhandunji. Bhanawalanga mabhadili gamakulungwa pa shenyi na mmakono gajandikwe Shalia na leupya mbundo ya pai ya nngubho yabhonji.
6 And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,
Bhanaapinganga tama mwiitengu ya mmujo nkalamu na mmashinagogi.
7 and greetings in the marketplace, and to be called Master by men.
Bhanapinganga kukomaywa kwa jogopekwa kushoko na bhanapinganga shemwa na bhandunji, Bhaajiganya.
8 But you must not be called Master. For One is your Master, and you are all brothers.
Ikabheje mmanganyanji nnashemwanje, Bhaajiganya, pabha bhaajiganya bhenunji bhamope, na mmanganya mmowe malinga bhandu bha lutumbo lumo.
9 And do not choose to call anyone on earth your father. For One is your Father, who is in heaven.
Wala nnanshemanje mundu jojowe, Atati, pa shilambolyo, pabha Ainabhenunji bhamope, bhali kunnungu.
10 Neither should you be called teachers. For One is your Teacher, the Christ.
Wala nnashemwanje, Ashikalongolele, pabha kalongolele jwenunji jumope, ni a Kilishitu.
11 Whoever is greater among you shall be your minister.
Ali jwankulungwa munkumbi gwenunji anapinjikwa abhe ntumishi jwenunji.
12 But whoever has exalted himself, shall be humbled. And whoever has humbled himself, shall be exalted.
Jojowe akwiikuya apinga nyegaywa, na akwiinyegaya apinga kuywa.
13 So then: Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you close the kingdom of heaven before men. For you yourselves do not enter, and those who are entering, you would not permit to enter.
Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Pabha nnakwaugalilanga bhandunji nnango gwa Upalume gwa Kunnungu, mwaashayenenji nkajinjilanga, na wala bhapinganga jinjila bhala nkakwaalekanga bhajinjilangane.
14 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you consume the houses of widows, praying long prayers. Because of this, you shall receive the greater judgment.
Ole gwenunji mmaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo bhagulumba! Pabha nnapokonyolanga nyumba ya bhashitenga na nnajuganga Nnungu kwa leupya, nkupinga mmonekananje kubhandu kuti mmambonenji, kwa nneyo shinng'ukumulwanje kupunda bhananji.
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and by land, in order to make one convert. And when he has been converted, you make him twice the son of Hell that you are yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Nnaowanga mmashi na pa litaka nkupinga mumpatanje mundu shakagule dini jenunji. Mumpatangaga, nnakuntendanga mwana jwa ku Jeanamu pabhili kupunda mwaashayenenji. (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe to you, blind guides, who say: ‘Whoever will have sworn by the temple, it is nothing. But whoever will have sworn by the gold of the temple is obligated.’
Ole gwenunji ashikalongolele nangalole! Mmanganya nkutinji mundu alumbilaga kwa lina lya liekalu, kwene kulumbilako nngabha shindu, ikabheje alumbilaga kwa shaabhu ili nniekalu, kwene lumbilako kunakuntabha.
17 You are foolish and blind! For which is greater: the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
Mmanganya ashikalongolele bhangumba! Shei shipundile, shaabhu eu liekalu litenda jene shaabhujo jibhe ja ukonjelo?
18 And you say: ‘Whoever will have sworn by the altar, it is nothing. But whoever will have sworn by the gift that is on the altar is obligated.’
Kabhili nnkutinji kuti mundu alumbilaga kwa shitala nngabha shindu, ikabheje alumbilaga kwa mbepei ibhishilwe pa shitala, kwene lumbilako kunakuntabha.
19 How blind you are! For which is greater: the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
Mmanganya ashinangalole! Shei shipundile, upo ila, eu shitala shitenda mbepeiyo ibhe ya ukonjelo?
20 Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all that is on it.
Alumbila kwa shitala analumbila kwa shitala, na kwa indu yowe ili pa shitala.
21 And whoever will have sworn by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
Na alumbila ku liekalu ashilumbila ku liekalu na kwa bhatama nkati bhala.
22 And whoever swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits upon it.
Na alumbila kunnungu ashilumbila ku shitengu sha Upalume gwa a Nnungu, na bhaatama panani jakwe.
23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you collect tithes on mint and dill and cumin, but you have abandoned the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, while not omitting the others.
Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Nnashoyanga lipungu lya kumi, nkali maamba ga mmboga, bhishali na tindi, akuno nnilekanga indu ya mana ya Shalia malinga, aki na shiya na ngulupai. Genega gumpinjilwenje kugabhika mmitima gwangali kulibhala gana.
24 You blind guides, straining out a gnat, while swallowing a camel!
Ashikalongolele nangalole! Nnashoyanga libhembe, ikabheje nimila ngamia, nnyama jwankulungwa.
25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you clean what is outside the cup and the dish, but on the inside you are full of avarice and impurity.
“Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Mmanganya nninginji malinga mundu aukanga ikombe na bhakuli kua, ikabheje nkati mugumbele indu impatilenje kwa pokonyola na shojo.
26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish, and then what is outside becomes clean.
Mmwe a Palishayo nangalole! Nng'ukanje oti shikombe nkati na kua shikukonje.
27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed sepulchers, which outwardly appear brilliant to men, yet truly, inside, they are filled with the bones of the dead and with all filth.
“Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Puninginji mbuti likabhuli lipashilwe shokaa, kwa palanga linabhoneka kukonja, ikabheje nkati kushigumbala maupa ga bhawilenje na ikoko yaigwinji.
28 So also, you certainly appear to men outwardly to be just. But inwardly you are filled with hypocrisy and iniquity.
Nneyo peyo mmanganya nnabhonekanga na bhandunji mbuti nkwetenje aki, ikabheje nkati nshigumbalanga ugulumba na ungamanyika.
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites, who build the sepulchers of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the just.
“Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Nnashenjelanga makabhuli ga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu na konjeleya makabhuli ga bhandunji bhakwetenje aki.
30 And then you say, ‘If we had been there in the days of our fathers, we would not have joined with them in the blood of the prophets.’
Nnikutinji, ‘Monaga uwe tukapali bhukala ja ashinakulu bhetu, tukanakunde kwaabhulaganga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu!’
31 And so you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of those who killed the prophets.
Kwa nneyo, nnakong'ondelanga mwaashayenenji kuti mmanganya bha ulongo gwa bhaabhulegenje ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu.
32 Complete, then, the measure of your fathers.
Bhai, mmaliyanje liengo libhatandubhenje bhanyikala bhenunji lila.
Mmanganya nninginji malinga majoka, bhana bha majoka! Shinnjikubhutukanje bhuli ukumu ja ku Jeanamu? (Geenna g1067)
34 For this reason, behold, I send to you prophets and wise men, and scribes. And some of these you will put to death and crucify; and some you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
Pabha nnolanje, nne ngunakumpeleshelanga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, bhandunji bhakwetenje lunda na bhaajiganya bha Shalia. Bhananji nkupinga kwaabhulaganga na kwaakomelanga munshalabha bhananji, shimwaakomanje ibhoko mmashinagogi genunji na kwaabhinganga shilambo kwa shilambo.
35 so that upon you may fall all the blood of the just, which has been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.
Kwa nneyo kugambwa kowe shikung'ishilanje kwa ligongo lya minyai ja bhandunji bhakwetenje aki jijitishile pa litaka. Elo, tandubhila kubhulagwa kwa a Abheli bhaaliji bhanguja, mpaka kubhulagwa kwa a Shakalia bhanabhabho a Bhalakiya, bhumwaabhulegenje ku liekalu pakati shitala na liekalu.
36 Amen I say to you, all these things shall fall upon this generation.
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, lwene lubhelekolu lupinga ukumulwa kwa ligongo lya genego.
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets and stone those who have been sent to you. How often I have wanted to gather your children together, in the way that a hen gathers her young under her wings. But you were not willing!
“Ugwe Yelushalemu, Ugwe Yelushalemu! Ukwaabhulaganga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, na kwaakomanga maganga mpaka kuwa bhatumilwenje kunngwako bhala. Palingwa njilinga kwaakundikanyanga ashibhanago, malinga nanunu jwa nnguku shakuti kwiigutamila yana yakwe, ikabheje gwaangapinga.
38 Behold, your house shall be abandoned to you, having been deserted.
Bhai nnoje, nyumba jako shijibhe liame na ushubha.
39 For I say to you, you shall not see me again, until you say: ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
Pabha, nkamonanga kabhili mpaka pushimmeleketanje, ‘Apegwe mboka jwene akwiya kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa.’”
