Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and His disciples,
Pamande ahizizye nu wungano wa bhantu paka na bhanafunzi bhakwe akhayanga,
2 saying, The scribes and Pharisees sat upon the seat of Moses;
“Abhasimbi na Mafarisayo bhakhalila itengo ilya Musa.
3 therefore do and keep all things so many as they may speak to you, but do not according to their works; for they say, and do not.
Eshi lyolyonti lyabhalajizya wombaji, muwombaje nuhu mubhanajizyaje. Lakini msahinjile mmbhiwi zyao, maana awene bhayanga amambo ngasanga bhawomba.
4 But they bind heavy burdens, and place them on the shoulders of the people; and they themselves are not willing to touch them with their finger.
Lyoli, awene wapinya amazingo amamwamu gasanga bhabhajie ayumule alafu bhahuwatwiha abhantu muvipungo vyao. Lakini awene sagabhayembezya hata hayobhe anyumule.
5 And they do all their works to be seen by the people: for they broaden their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Imbombo zyao zyonti bhawomba ili abhantu. Bhabhenye maana awene. Wahovyezya amabokosi gao na bhahonjezya ungosi wao na menda gao.
6 and they love the first couch at the suppers, and the first seats in the synagogues,
Awene wasongwa akhale isehemu inyinza yi shikulukulu, humatengo gishishi mvibhanza,
7 and salutations in the forums, and to be called by the people, ""Doctor.""
na alamshilwe hushishi isehemu yakazizye na akwiziwe “Mwalimu” na bhantu.
8 But be ye not called Doctor: for One is your teacher; and you are all brothers.
Lakini amwe sangamhwaziwa akwiziwe “Mwalimu” Mli nu mwalimu weka, amwe wonti mli kholo.
9 And call no man father upon the earth: for One is your Heavenly Father.
Msakha kwinzye umuntu wowonti munsi umu Daada wenyu maana mlinu Daada weke, tu nape ali humwanya.
10 Be not called teachers: because One is your teacher, Christ.
Nantele msahakwiziwe 'mwalimu.' maana mli nu mwalimu weka napo yu Klisiti.
11 And the great of you shall be your deacon.
Eshi yali gosi kati yenyu anzavye muwomba mbombo wenyu.
12 But whosoever shall exalt himself, shall be abased; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Wowonti yahuisomba anza hulishe na wowonti yazahwishe anzazuwe.
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you shut up the kingdom of the heavens against the people: for you do not go in, neither do you permit those coming in to enter.
Lakini mwashela amwe awasimbi na Amafarisayo, awilenkha! Muhubhagalilila abhantu umwene wa humwanya. Amwesangamubhajie huwinjile na sangamuhubha ruhusu bhabhahuaza hwinjile.
(Enya: Usitari ugwa 14 sagaulolekha isimbo inyiza izikhale, izimo isimbo zikhovyezya umstari ugu ugwa 12. Umsitari ugwa 14 “Mwashela amwe mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo muwilenkha amwe muhubhamila abhafyele”).
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you compass the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and when it may be done, you make him twofold more the son of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Mwashela amwe mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, muwilenkha! Mfwemela hwisyela yi idimi igosi na humwombe umuntu weka awenu lwentekho hwagala mmanyizya, na lwabha na zimwe, Mhumwombela mala hawile abhe mwana wa hujehanamu nazi amwe shamlekho. (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe unto you, blind guides, who are saying, Whosoever may swear by the temple it is nothing; but whosoever may swear by the gold of the temple, he is debtor.
Mwashela amwe mubhalongozi mbadiye amwe mumuyanga, wowonti yalapa hushi bhanza sagahuli nazimo. Lakini yalapa hwiwye lihela yishibhanza apinyilwe na lapa hwankwe.
17 Ye fools and blind: for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple sanctifying the gold?
Amwe mubadiye wapumbavu, shenu ishi gosi ashile isha mwao iweilihela au ishibhanza, liliweshilwe tayari iwyelihela hwa Ngolobhe?
18 And, Whosoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever may swear by the gift upon it, is debtor.
Wowonti ya lapa apafinjile, hamna ahatu, ila yalapa husadaka yili humwanya yakwe, apinyilwe ni ndopo yakwe.
19 Ye blind: for which is the greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift?
Amwe mubhantu mubadiye shenu ishi gosi ashile isha mwao, isadaka au apafinjile papali tayari afumizye isadaka hwa Ngolobhe?
20 Therefore the one swearing by the altar, swears by it, and by all things which are on it.
Eshi, uumwene yalapa pashifinjile alapa hwisho ni vintu vyonti vivili pamwanya yakwe.
21 And the one swearing by the temple, swears by it, and by Him who inhabited it.
Nape yalapa pashibhanza, alapa hulepo, nuyoakheye pakhanti yakwe.
22 And the one swearing by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by Him that sitteth upon it.
Nape yalapa humabhengo, alapa hwitengo lgosi lya Ngolobhe na hwamwene yakhenye pamwanya yakwe.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and pass by the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: it behooves to do these and not to neglect those.
Mwashela amwe mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, Mubhilenka! Msomba izaka zya bizali, mnamwamu ingindajizyo, ingi haki, isanjilo, ni ulwenlekho. Lakini enga muhwaziwa mugawombe, siyohugaleshe agamo bila hugawombe.
24 Ye blind guides, who strain out the gnat, and swallow down the camel.
Amwe mubhalongozi mubadiye, amwe myunga utududu utudondo lakini mumila idogobhi!
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you purify the exterior of the cup and the plate, and within they are full of extortion and impurity.
Mwashela amwe mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, bhilenkha! Aje mkhozya honzya ishikombe na honze nyi mbakuli, lakini mkhanti mumemile imbhiwi sangamli nu wonga.
26 Ye blind Pharisee, first purify the inside of the cup, in order that its outside may be clean.
Amwe Mafarisayo mubadiye, ozyaji ahuande mukhanti yishikombe na mukhanti yimbakuli, na uupande wakhonzi nape ubhe zeru.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you are like whitened sepulchers, which are beautiful indeed externally, but within they are full of the hones of the dead people, and every impurity.
Mwashela amwe, mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, Mubhilenkha! Mlinifyano yimakaburi gagapashilwe ichokaa, khoze gawhonekha miza lakini mukhanti gamemile amafupa gabhafyinye na shila khanti hintavu.
28 So you also appear unto the people indeed righteous, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Shishesho namwe, namwe honze muwhonekha winza hwilongolela lya bhantu, lakini mukhanti mumemile ilenkha nu walangani.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you build the tombs of the prophets, and ornament the sepulchers of the righteous,
Mwashela amwe, mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, Mubhilenkha! Mzenga amakaburi ya wakuwa nahugapambe amakaburi gabhagolosu.
30 and you say, If we were in the days of our fathers we would not have been their fellow-partakers in the blood of the prophets.
Namwe muyanga, aje mngakheye isiku izya waadadawenyu, indisanga muwombile peka akhinte ianda ilya wakuwa.
31 So you witness to yourselves, that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
Amwe muhuyanga muwyene aje amwe muli bhana bhewo bhabhakhabha budile awakuwa.
32 And you fill up the measure of your fathers.
Nantele amwe mumalezezya amenye isehemu yihwanziwa imbibhi izyabhadaada wenyu.
Amwe mzokha, bhana wimazokha, mwidala wele munza kwepe idongwa ya hujehanamu? (Geenna g1067)
34 Therefore I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: you will kill and crucify some of them; and will scourge some of them in your synagogues, and will persecute them from city to city;
Eshi, enyi ihumbatuma aawakuwa hulimwe, abhantu winjele, na waasimbi, abhamo munza hubhabude ua hubhakhobhekhanye. Na abhamo munza hubhashente muhanti yivibhanza vyenyu na hubhadaje afume mkhaya yeka hadi iyamwao.
35 in order that all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah the son of the blessed, whom they slew between the temple and the altar, may come upon you.
Hakhanza fumilepo hulimwe pazafumile idada zyonti izya wagolofu zyazyahitilwe munsi, ahuande idada lya Habili ugolosu, mpaka idanda ilya Zakaria umwana wa Barakia, yamwahabudile pahanti yapafinjile na pashibhanza.
36 Truly I say unto you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
Lyoli ihumbawhuzya, amambo enga gonti gakhaibhanga ishikholo eshi.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that have been sent unto thee! how frequently did I wish to gather together thy children, in the manner in which a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but ye were not willing!
Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, awe uhuwabuda abhakuwa na uhubhakhoma na mawe wala bhabhatumwilwe huliwe! khalenga imba whunganyenye abhana bhakho peka nanzi shila inkuku shiwhunganya inyana zyakwe pasi yi maapamikho agakwe, lakini sagahuentekha!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Enya inyumba yakho isangeye wene.
39 For I say unto you, that ye can see me no more until you can say; Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Nane ihuwozya, ahuande isala enzi nahundelele sangaunza hudole, mpaka lwahaiyanga, 'Asayiwilwe umwene yahwenze hwitawa ilya Bwana.”
