Matthew 23
1 Then spake Iesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Panyuma pakendi, Yesu walamba ku likoto lyabantu bangi, kayi ne kuli beshikwiya bakendi.
2 Saying, The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.
Walabambileti, “Beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose ne Bafalisi bakute ncito ya kusansulula Milawo ya Mose.”
3 All therefore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and doe: but after their workes doe not: for they say, and doe not.
Ecebo cakendi mwelela kukonka byonse mbyobala mwiyishinga. kamutensanga mbyobalenshinga, pakwinga nkabakute kwinsa mbyobakute kwiyisha sobwe.
4 For they binde heauie burdens, and grieuous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders, but they themselues will not moue them with one of their fingers.
Balo bakute kunyamwisha bantu mitolo yalema, njobatakumyuko ne kambombo kabo kunyamfwilisha kumanta mitolo.
5 All their workes they doe for to be seene of men: for they make their phylacteries broad, and make long the frindges of their garments,
Bakute kwinsa bintu byonse kwambeti bantu bababone. Bakute kusungilila tukwisa tunene pankumo ne pamakasa twalembwapo maswi a Lesa! Bonani kutalimpisha mayombo kuminganjo yabo!
6 And loue the chiefe place at feastes, and to haue the chiefe seates in the assemblies,
Kayi bakute kuyanda kwikala pa bipuna byabulemu pa misena yalemekeshewa ya malyalya, ne mu manda akupaililamo.
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Bakute kuyandeti bantu babapenga mitende yabulemu mu misena ya makwebo, ne kubakuweti, bashikwiyisha.
8 But be not ye called, Rabbi: for one is your doctour, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren.
Nomba amwe bantu kabata mukuwangeti, bashikwiyisha sobwe, pakwinga mukute shikwiyisha umowa, mwense ni pabukwenu.
9 And call no man your father vpon the earth: for there is but one, your father which is in heauen.
Kamutakuwanga muntu naba umo panshi pano eti, Ta, pakwinga amwe mukute ba Meshenu bamowa, Ba meshenu bakwilu.
10 Be not called doctours: for one is your doctour, euen Christ.
Nabo bantu kabata mukuwangeti, batangunishi sobwe, pakwinga mutangunishi wenu ni Klistu umowa.
11 But he that is greatest among you, let him be your seruant.
Pakati penu mukulene abe musebenshi wenu.
12 For whosoeuer will exalt himselfe, shall be brought lowe: and whosoeuer will humble himselfe, shalbe exalted.
Ee, uyo lalisumpulunga mwine, nakacepeshewe, uyo lalicepeshenga nakasumpulwe.
13 Wo therefore be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites, because ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men: for ye your selues go not in, neither suffer ye them that would enter, to come in.
“Malele kulinjamwe beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, ne njamwe Bafalisi, bantu bandemi shibili! Mulacalanga cishinga pa menso abantu caku Bwami bwakwilu. Pakwinga mucinsheti nteti mukenglemo, neco mulashinkilishinga bantu balayandanga kwingilamo.”
14 Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers: wherefore ye shall receiue the greater damnation.
“Malele kulinjamwe beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, ne njamwe Bafalisi, bantu bandemishibili! Mukute kubebila bamukalubingi, kubalyela buboni bwabo, pakubanyengelela ne mipailo yenu itali itali. Pacebo ico Lesa nakamomboloshe mwangofu.”
15 Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye compasse sea and land to make one of your profession: and when he is made, ye make him two folde more the childe of hell, then you your selues. (Geenna g1067)
“Malele kulinjamwe beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, ne njamwe Bafalisi, bantu bandemishibili! Mukute kwenda nyendo shingi pa lwenje ne pamutunta, kulangaula muntu umo kwambeti mu musandule abe shikwiya wenu. Nomba kayi mwa mucana, mukute kumusandula tunkanda tubili kuba welela Gehena, kupita amwe mobene.” (Geenna g1067)
16 Wo be vnto you blinde guides, which say, Whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the Temple, he offendeth.
Malele kulinjamwe, batangunishi bashipilwa! Amwe mukute kwiyisheti, muntu alumbileti, pa Ng'anda ya Lesa, ciliya mulandu, nsombi na ulumbileti, pamali ali mu ng'anda ya Lesa, uyo welela kusunga kulumbila kwakendi.
17 Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the golde, or the Temple that sanctifieth the golde?
Amwe bantu bapusa, kayi bashipilwa! Cinene nicipeyo, mali nambi Ng'anda ya Lesa iyo ikute kusandula mali kuba aswepa?
18 And whosoeuer sweareth by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the offering that is vpon it, offendeth.
Kayi mukute kwambeti, Muntu alumbileti, panteme ya milumbo, ciliya mulandu, Nsombi na ulumbileti, pa cishikubengwa panteme, uyo welela kusunga kulumbila kwakendi.
19 Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering?
Amwe bantu bashipilwa! Cinene nicipeyo, cisa cishikubengwa nambi nteme ya milumbo iyo ikute kusandula cishikubengwa kuba caswepa?
20 Whosoeuer therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
Neco, muntu alumbileti, panteme ya milumbo, ekwambeti lalumbilili kumo ne byonse bili panteme.
21 And whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
Alumbileti, pa Ng'anda ya Lesa, ekwambeti lalumbilili kumo ne Ng'andeyo pamo ne Lesa ukute kwikalamo.
22 And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Kayi Alumbileti, mbuli kwilu, lalumbili pa Cipuna ca Bwami bwa Lesa, kubikapo ne uyo wekala pa Cipuna.
23 Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye tithe mynt, and annyse, and cummyn, and leaue the weightier matters of the law, as iudgement, and mercy and fidelitie. These ought ye to haue done, and not to haue left the other.
“Malele kulinjamwe beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, ne njamwe Bafalisi, bantu bandemi shibili! Mukute kubenga ca likumi ca tumbuto twanunkila, twakubika mucakulya, nsombi mukute kusula Milawo ya Lesa yancine ncine, mbuli kombolosha kwalulama ne nkumbo kayi ne kushomeka. Mwanga mwelela kwinseco, kutashiyapo nabimbi sobwe.
24 Ye blinde guides, which straine out a gnat, and swallowe a camell.
Amwe batangunishi bashipilwa, mukute kufunya shikanshi lawili momulanunga, nsombi mukute kumina munyama munene ukute kukwiweti ngamila.”
25 Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye make cleane the vtter side of the cup, and of the platter: but within they are ful of briberie and excesse.
“Malele amwe beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, ne njamwe Bafalisi, bantu bandemi shibili! Mukute kusuka kunsa kwa nkomeshi ne mbale, kakuli mukati mwesula bukuma ne kuliyanda.
26 Thou blinde Pharise, cleanse first the inside of the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be cleane also.
Amwe Ba falisi bashipilwa, tangunani nanshi kusuka mukati munkomeshi ne mbale, mpweshi musuke kunsa.”
27 Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are like vnto whited tombes, which appeare beautifull outward, but are within full of dead mens bones, and all filthines.
“Malele kulinjamwe beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, ne njamwe Bafalisi, bantu bandemi shibili! Mulyeti manda ashibululwa ne laimu akute kuboneka cena kunsa, kakuli mukati mwesula mafupa abantu bafwa ne bintu bingi byabola.
28 So are ye also: for outwarde ye appeare righteous vnto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisie and iniquitie.
Ne njamwe ncomubele pamenso abantu mukute kuboneketi mwalulama, kakuli mukati mwenu mwesula bundenga mano ne bintu byaipa.”
29 Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye build the tombes of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
“Malele kuli njamwe beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, ne njamwe Bafalisi, bantu bandemi shibili! Mukute kubamba cena manda abashinshimi bakulu kulu, ne kushibulula bibumbwanya bya bantu balulama.
30 And say, If we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we would not haue bene partners with them in the blood of the Prophets.
Mukute kwambeti, ne twalikubako pacindi ncobalikubako bamashali betu bakulu kulu, nshinga ne twalabula kumantako lubasu pakushina basa bashinshimi.
31 So then ye be witnesses vnto your selues, that ye are the children of them that murthered the Prophets.
Nomba mulalisungunga mobene, pakwinga mulasuminingeti, mobashikulu ba bantu abo balashina bashinshimi.
32 Fulfill ye also ye measure of your fathers.
Ee, lino kamupwishani ncito njobalatatika bamashali benu bakulukulu.”
33 O serpents, the generation of vipers, howe should ye escape the damnation of hell! (Geenna g1067)
“Mwenjoka amwe, bana bampili, ni mukayubeconi lombolosho lwa Gehena? (Geenna g1067)
34 Wherefore beholde, I send vnto you Prophets, and wise men, and Scribes, and of them ye shall kill and crucifie: and of them shall ye scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from citie to citie,
Lino kamunyumfwani! Ni nkamutumine bashinshimi, ne bantu bamano, ne beshikwiyisha. Nabambi ni mukabashine ne kubapopa pa nsanda, nabambi ni mukabakwapule bikoti mu manda enu akupaililamo, kayi ni mukabapenshe ne kubatandanya kufuma pamunshi umo ne umo.
35 That vpon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed vpon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, vnto the blood of Zacharias the sonne of Barachias, whome ye slewe betweene the Temple and the altar.
Neco nimukacanike ne mulandu wabantu bonse balulama balashinwa pacishi capanshi, kufumina pakushinwa kwa Abele, muntu walulama, mpaka pa kushinwa kwa Sakaliya mwanendi Balakiya, uyo ngomwalashinina mu Ng'anda ya Lesa pakati pa nteme ya milumbo, ne Musena wa Swepeshesha.
36 Verely I say vnto you, all these things shall come vpon this generation.
Cakubinga ndamwambilingeti, lombolosho lulico nebintu byonse nibikenshike mu musemano uwu.”
37 Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent to thee, how often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her chickins vnder her wings, and ye would not!
Ha! Obe Yelusalemu, Yelusalemu! Weshikushina bashinshimi, ne kupwaya mabwe bantu Lesa mbwalakutumininga. Ndayandanga kufukatila pamo banabobe tunkanda tungaye, mbuli nkuku ncekute kufukatila twana twayo mu mapepe akendi, nsombi obe ulakana!
38 Beholde, your habitation shalbe left vnto you desolate,
Cakubinga kamubonani nomba, ng'anda yenu ineneyi nibe matongo.
39 For I say vnto you, ye shall not see mee henceforth till that ye say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
Kayi ndamwambilishingeti, kufuma cindi cino nteti mukambonepo sobwe, mpaka cindi ncoti mukambeti, “Walelekwa uyo lesanga mu Lina lya enka bulyo walibela.”
