Matthew 23
1 Then spake Iesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Buna Yesu wukamba nkangu wu batu ayi minlonguki miandi:
2 Saying, The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.
—Minlongi mi Mina ayi Bafalisi kisalu kiawu sudikisa batu Mina mi Moyize.
3 All therefore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and doe: but after their workes doe not: for they say, and doe not.
Lutumukina ayi lukeba mambu moso bakulukamba. Vayi lubika landakana mavanga mawu bila mambu momo beti longa mawu ko beti sadila.
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.
Bazebi kanga mimfuna midi zitu ayi beti tula miawu va mavangiti ma batu vayi bawu veka bamengi nikunina miawu mu tsongi nlembo.
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,
Mambu moso bamvanga batidi ti batu baba mona. Diawu zikesi zi fioti-fioti ziozi beti vuata mu thangu lusambulu zilutidi ziozi zibankaka mu kula ayi zitsongi zi mazuela mawu zidi zi mula.
6 And loue the chiefe place at feastes, and to haue the chiefe seates in the assemblies,
Beti zola kaka vuandila mu bibuangu bi lukinzu mu minyengo ayi mu bikundu bitheti mu nzo zi zikhutukunu.
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Beti zola baba vaninanga mboti vama vadi batu bawombo ayi babatedilanga “Nlongi”.
8 But be not ye called, Rabbi: for one is your doctour, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren.
Vayi beno babika kulutedilanga “Nlongi” bila beno babo lubeki Nlongi wumosi kaka ayi beno boso luidi bakhomba.
9 And call no man your father vpon the earth: for there is but one, your father which is in heauen.
Kadi mutu wumosi vava ntoto lulendi tedila ko: “Tata” bila Tata dimosi kaka didi yeno, diodi didi ku Diyilu.
10 Be not called doctours: for one is your doctour, euen Christ.
Lubika talanga batu balutedila: “Pfumu” bila Pfumu yimosi kaka yidi yeno: Klisto.
11 But he that is greatest among you, let him be your seruant.
Mutu wowo lutidi munneni va khatitsikꞌeno wela ba kisadi kieno.
12 For whosoeuer will exalt himselfe, shall be brought lowe: and whosoeuer will humble himselfe, shalbe exalted.
Woso mutu wukukinangika wela kululu ayi woso mutu wukukikulula wela nanguku.
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.
—A mabienga kuidi beno minlongi mi Mina ayi Bafalisi! Luidi batu ba mayuya! Bila lueti kandika batu ba kota mu Kipfumu ki Diyilu ayi beno veka lukotanga ko! Ayi luvananga ko diluaku kuidi batu batidi kota bakota kuawu!
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.
[O mabienga kuidi beno minlongi mi Mina ayi Bafalisi! Luidi batu ba mayuya! Bila lueti zionanga bima bi mafuola ayi lueti sambilanga zitsambulu zimula muingi lumonika. Diawu luela bakila thumbudulu yilutidi tola.]
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)
A mabienga kuidi beno minlongi mi Mina ayi Bafalisi! Luidi batu ba mayuya. Lueti diengilanga mu mbu ayi mu ntoto mu diambu di tombanga kani lulenda baka, ka diambu ko nzenza wumosi wulenda kota mu dibundu dieno. Ayi enati lumbeki, lunkukitulanga muana wu bulungi mu zikhumbu zizole viokila beno veka. (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.
A mabienga kuidi beno mintuadisi mifua meso. Beno lueti tuba ti enati mutu levidi ndefi mu “Nzo Nzambi”, diodi disi kuandi diambu ko. Vayi enati mutu levidi ndefi mu “nolo yidi mu Nzo Nzambi” buna kafueti dukisa ndefi andi.
17 Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the golde, or the Temple that sanctifieth the golde?
Luidi bivungisi ayi Baphofo! A mbi bilutidi mfunu? Nolo voti nzo Nzambi yoyi yinkitulanga nolo yinlongo?
18 And whosoeuer sweareth by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the offering that is vpon it, offendeth.
Lueti tuba diaka: enati mutu levidi ndefi va “diziku dimyokolongo bibulu bitambuku kuidi Nzambi”, diodi disi kuandi diambu ko; vayi enati levidi ndefi mu “dikaba diodi didi va diziku” buna kafueti dukisa ndefi andi.
19 Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering?
Baphofo! Diambu mbi dilutidi mfunu, makaba voti diziku dinkitulanga dikaba dinlongo?
20 Whosoeuer therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
Mutu wowo levidi ndefi mu “diziku”, buna levidi yawu mu diziku ayi mu bima bioso bidi vana.
21 And whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
Mutu wowo levidi ndefi “mu nzo Nzambi”, buna levidi yawu mu dizina di nzo Nzambi ayi mu mutu wowo wunkalanga muna.
22 And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Ayi mutu wowo levidi ndefi mu Diyilu, buna levidi yawu mu kundu ki Nzambi ayi mu mutu wowo wuvuandanga va kundu beni.
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.
O mabienga kuidi beno minlongi mi Mina ayi Bafalisi! Beno luidi batu ba mayuya. Bila! Lueti vana Nzambi kuku kikumi mu bima biobi lueti kuna mu zitsola zieno banza mu bima biobi bifioti-fioti biobi lueti kuna. Vayi lusadilanga ko mambu malutidi pfumu mu Mina banga: vanganga masonga, monanga batu kiadi ayi vanganga makuikama. Nganu mawu momo mambu luvanga mu kambu lenza mamo mankaka.
24 Ye blinde guides, which straine out a gnat, and swallowe a camell.
Mintuadisi mifua meso! Lueti sosanga biobi lueti nua muingi zinzinzi zifioti-fioti zibika vioka vayi lumminanga bulu kinneni kioki beti tedila kamela.
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.
O mabienga kuidi beno minlongi mi Mina ayi beno Bafalisi! Luidi batu ba mayuya! Lunsukulanga va mbata kopo ayi va mbata dilonga vayi mu khati mu wala bima biobi lueti yiba ayi zitsatu zieno zimbimbi.
26 Thou blinde Pharise, cleanse first the inside of the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be cleane also.
Bafalisi bafua meso! Lutuama theti sukula mu khati kopo ayi mu khati dilonga, bosi buna mu mbata mamusukuka.
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.
O mabienga kuidi beno minlongi mi Mina ayi Bafalisi! Beno luidi batu ba mayuya! Bila luidi banga biziami biobi bivindu nlangi yi phembi ayi ku nganda bimmonikanga kitoko vayi mu khati mu wala mimvesi mi batu bafua, mvindu ayi kheni yi phila mu phila.
28 So are ye also: for outwarde ye appeare righteous vnto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisie and iniquitie.
Beno mamveno, ku nganda lummonikanga basonga va meso ma batu vayi mu khati muwala mayuya ayi mambu mambimbi ma phila mu phila.
29 Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye build the tombes of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
O mabienga kuidi beno minlongi mi Mina ayi Bafalisi! Beno luidi batu mayuya! Luntunganga biziami bi mimbikudi ayi lumfuanisanga bumboti biziami bi batu basonga,
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.
ayi lueti tubanga: “Enati beto tuzinga mu thangu bakulu beto nganu tusia bundana yawu ko mu vonda mimbikudi.”
31 So then ye be witnesses vnto your selues, that ye are the children of them that murthered the Prophets.
Bu luntuba bobo lulembo telama beno veka kimbangi ti luidi bana ba batu bobo bavonda mimbikudi.
32 Fulfill ye also ye measure of your fathers.
Diawu manisanu kisalu kioki kitona bakulu beno.
33 O serpents, the generation of vipers, howe should ye escape the damnation of hell! (Geenna g1067)
A beno zinioka! Bana ba bikusa! A buevi lulenda tinina nkanu wu bulungi e? (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,
Ndiela lufidisila mimbikudi, batu badi nduenga ayi minlongi mi Mina. Luela vonda bankaka, luela bandisa bankaka va dikulusi vayi bankaka luela babeta bikoti mu zinzo zieno zi zikhutukunu, bosi luela kuba yamisa mu divula dimosi-dimosi
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.
muingi menga, ma batu boso basonga, momo matenguka tona mu Abeli mutu wusonga nate mu Zakali muana Balaki; mutu wowo luvonda va khatitsika Nzo Nzambi ayi diziku diodi banyokilanga Nzambi makaba, matangulu mu mintu mieno.
36 Verely I say vnto you, all these things shall come vpon this generation.
Bukiedika ndikulukamba mambu moso mama mela buila batu ba tsungi yayi.
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!
—A Yelusalemi! A Yelusalemi e! Ngeyo wumvondanga mimbikudi ayi wunlozilanga matadi batu bobo Nzambi kakufidisilanga. Zikhumbu zikua ndizola kutikisa bana baku banga tsusu bu kankutikisilanga bana bandi ku tsi mavavi mandi. Vayi wumanga kuaku.
38 Beholde, your habitation shalbe left vnto you desolate,
Tala, nzoꞌaku yikuiza ba dio wuya, yikambu bima.
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.
Diawu, ndikulukambila: tona buabu lulendi buela kumbona ko nate thangu luela tuba: Bika kasakumunu mutu wowo wunkuizila mu dizina di Pfumu.
