Matthew 23
1 THEN spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Nin nani, Yesu su uliru ligozi, nin nono katwa mye.
2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:
A woro, “Anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, asa iso kiti lisosin Musa.
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
Bara nani, vat nile imon na ibellin munu isu, suun inin kin yenje, na iwa su adu mine ba. Bara inung di nbellu, na idin su inin ba.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
Nanere, asa itere kutura ku getek, kun nijasin inyaunu, inin tarda anit nabandang, inung atimine na iba dudu nin ticin bara iyaun ba.
5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Vat nadu mine idin su, anit nan yenje nani, asa ikye ilaya gba gbardang, inin ta alutuk ajangaran.
6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Idinin su niti lisosin tigo kiti nbuki, nin kiti lisosin nago nanya kutyi nlirag,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
nin nilip tikune nanya nkasu, anit yicu nani 'Unan yiru'.
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Bara anung na iwa yicu munu 'Unan yiru', bara idinin nnan yiru warumari, vat mine linuanari.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Na iwa yicu unit nanya inyi Ucif mine ba, bara tidi nin Ncif warum, amere ule na adi nanya kitene kani.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Sa iyicu munu 'Unan dursuzu', bara idinin nnan dursuzu warum, ame Kristi.
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Ame ulenge na adi udia nanya mine, na aso unan su munu katwa.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Vat nlenge na aghantina liti mye, iba toltunghe, nin vat nlenge na a toltuno liti mye iba ghantinghe.
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Kash anughe, anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, anan rusuzu nati, anung ntursu kipin tigo Kutelle kiti nanit, na anung ati mine npira ba, a na iyinna ale na idinin su pire, ipuru ba.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Kash anung, anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, anan rusuzu nati, idin bolusu nalari nawani ale na ales mine na kuzu, inani din dursuzu ati mine kiti nlirag mijangarang bara nani iba seru uca nkul udia.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Kash anung, anan ninyerte nin nafarisiyawa, bara asa idoo kurawa nin kutyin, npiziru anan dortu Kutelle, iwa se, asa ukuru itaghe aso gono nlahira nafo na anung atimine di. (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
Kash anung anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, anung na ina woro, 'Vat nlenge na asillo nin kutyi nlirag, na imomo nari ba, vat nlenge na a sillo nin nazurfa kutyi nlirag, isillin ntere ghe.'
17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
Fe uduu ulalang, iyaghari katin, azurfe sa kutyi nlirag na kuna kussu fi azurfe?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
Nin nworu, vat nlenge na asillo nin bagadi na imomonari ba, bara vat nlenge na asillo nin nfillu na udi kitene, isillin in tereghe.
19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
Anung anit aduu, Iyaghari katin, ufille sa ubagadi na nnere na kussu ufille?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
Bara nani, vat nlenge na asillp nin nbagadi, asillo nin vat nimon ile na idi kitene nbagade.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
Ame ule na asillo nin kutyi nlirag, asillo nin kunin nin nlenge na asosin nanya kunin.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Ame ulle na asillo nin kitene kani, asillo nin kutet tigo Kutelle ninghe ule na asoson kitene.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Kash anung anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, anan rusuzu nati, idin nizu uzakka vat nimon kunen, ina suna litino nimone, kidegen usu gegeme, uyitu dert, ile imonere caun isu, na iwa fillin inin ba.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Anung aduu, fe ulenge na asa ifillo kajiji kacing, ina milla kulonkomi.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Kash anung anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, a sa ukusu mamal kakuk nin kishik, ina suuna nanye nin ndinon.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Anung Afarisiyawa aduu, burno ukussu nanya kakupe nin kishik, bara uddase nan da yita lau tutun.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
Kash anung anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, anan rusuzu nati, anung di nafo nisek nibo pert, alenge ndase idin yenju gegeme, nanye kullun nin nakuu na nan kuzu, nan nimon nsalin nlau.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Nin nanere, asa anung ndase inuzu anit alau, udu nanye ikullun nin rusuzu nati nin kulapi.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Kash anung anan ninyerte nin nafarisiyawa, bara din nkye nissek na nan nliru nin nnu Kutelle, nin su nissek na nan fiu Kutelle kuyok.
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Anung sa iworo, 'Nda tiwa duku nayiri nacif bite, na tiwa munnu nanghinu nanya ngutunu nmyi, na nan nliru nin nnu Kutelle ba.'
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Bara nani, anung nsheida atimine, nworu anughere nono nalenge na iwa mollu anan nliru nin nnu Kutelle.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Anung tutun ba kullunu kagisin kulapi nacif mine.
Anung iyii abuni, inung isudun niyii, iba ti iyiziyari isortu kiti nwucu kidegen nin kilari nlah? (Geenna g1067)
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
Bara nani, yenen ntoo munu anan nliru nin nnu kutelle, anit ajinjin, nin na nan ninyerte, among nanya mine iba mollu nani, ibana nani kutca, amon nanya mine iba kpizu nani nanya kutyi nlirag, ukoo nani kagbir udu kagbir.
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Kiti minere alakin nmyi nanan fiu kutelle, mongo na iwa gutun inye, uyiru nmyi Habila unan fiu Kutelle, udu nmyi zakariya usaun Barikiya ulenge na iwa mollughe, kiyitik, kiti nlirag nin nbagadi.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Kidegen Meng nbellin munu, vat nile imone base kuji kone.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Urushelima, Urushelima, fe ulenge na udin mollusu anan nliru nin nnu Kutelle, idin filisu na ina tuu nani kiti mine, iyanghari uworsu ndinin su npitirin nono fe, kiti kirum, nafo kukuru na asa pitirino nono mye, nagilit mye, bara nani, inani nari!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Yenen nilari mine ba lawu ni lem sa anit.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Bara Meng nbellin munu, na iba kuru iyenei ba nene udu ubun, se iworo, 'Unan nmariari ule na aba dak nanya lisa Ncikilarie.'”
