Matthew 23
1 Then spoke Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Pamande ahizizye nu wungano wa bhantu paka na bhanafunzi bhakwe akhayanga,
2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
“Abhasimbi na Mafarisayo bhakhalila itengo ilya Musa.
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not all of you after 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 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.
Lyoli, awene wapinya amazingo amamwamu gasanga bhabhajie ayumule alafu bhahuwatwiha abhantu muvipungo vyao. Lakini awene sagabhayembezya hata hayobhe anyumule.
5 But all their works they do in order to be seen of men: they make broad 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 love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Awene wasongwa akhale isehemu inyinza yi shikulukulu, humatengo gishishi mvibhanza,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
na alamshilwe hushishi isehemu yakazizye na akwiziwe “Mwalimu” na bhantu.
8 But be not all of you called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all you are brethren.
Lakini amwe sangamhwaziwa akwiziwe “Mwalimu” Mli nu mwalimu weka, amwe wonti mli kholo.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Msakha kwinzye umuntu wowonti munsi umu Daada wenyu maana mlinu Daada weke, tu nape ali humwanya.
10 Neither be all of you called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Nantele msahakwiziwe 'mwalimu.' maana mli nu mwalimu weka napo yu Klisiti.
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Eshi yali gosi kati yenyu anzavye muwomba mbombo wenyu.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be brought low; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Wowonti yahuisomba anza hulishe na wowonti yazahwishe anzazuwe.
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for all of you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer all of you them that are entering to go in.
Lakini mwashela amwe awasimbi na Amafarisayo, awilenkha! Muhubhagalilila abhantu umwene wa humwanya. Amwesangamubhajie huwinjile na sangamuhubha ruhusu bhabhahuaza hwinjile.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore all of you shall receive the greater damnation.
(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! for all of you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, all of you make him twofold more the child 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, all of you 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!
Mwashela amwe mubhalongozi mbadiye amwe mumuyanga, wowonti yalapa hushi bhanza sagahuli nazimo. Lakini yalapa hwiwye lihela yishibhanza apinyilwe na lapa hwankwe.
17 All of you fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that santifies the gold?
Amwe mubadiye wapumbavu, shenu ishi gosi ashile isha mwao iweilihela au ishibhanza, liliweshilwe tayari iwyelihela hwa Ngolobhe?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever swears by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
Wowonti ya lapa apafinjile, hamna ahatu, ila yalapa husadaka yili humwanya yakwe, apinyilwe ni ndopo yakwe.
19 All of you fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that santifies the gift?
Amwe mubhantu mubadiye shenu ishi gosi ashile isha mwao, isadaka au apafinjile papali tayari afumizye isadaka hwa Ngolobhe?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, swears by it, and by all things thereon.
Eshi, uumwene yalapa pashifinjile alapa hwisho ni vintu vyonti vivili pamwanya yakwe.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, swears by it, and by him that dwells therein.
Nape yalapa pashibhanza, alapa hulepo, nuyoakheye pakhanti yakwe.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him that sits thereon.
Nape yalapa humabhengo, alapa hwitengo lgosi lya Ngolobhe na hwamwene yakhenye pamwanya yakwe.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought all of you to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
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 All of you blind guides, which strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Amwe mubhalongozi mubadiye, amwe myunga utududu utudondo lakini mumila idogobhi!
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Mwashela amwe mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, bhilenkha! Aje mkhozya honzya ishikombe na honze nyi mbakuli, lakini mkhanti mumemile imbhiwi sangamli nu wonga.
26 You blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Amwe Mafarisayo mubadiye, ozyaji ahuande mukhanti yishikombe na mukhanti yimbakuli, na uupande wakhonzi nape ubhe zeru.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you are like unto whitewashed sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Mwashela amwe, mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, Mubhilenkha! Mlinifyano yimakaburi gagapashilwe ichokaa, khoze gawhonekha miza lakini mukhanti gamemile amafupa gabhafyinye na shila khanti hintavu.
28 Even so all of you also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within all of 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 all of you build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous,
Mwashela amwe, mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, Mubhilenkha! Mzenga amakaburi ya wakuwa nahugapambe amakaburi gabhagolosu.
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.
Namwe muyanga, aje mngakheye isiku izya waadadawenyu, indisanga muwombile peka akhinte ianda ilya wakuwa.
31 Wherefore all of you be witnesses unto yourselves, that all of you are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Amwe muhuyanga muwyene aje amwe muli bhana bhewo bhabhakhabha budile awakuwa.
32 Fill all of you up then the measure of your fathers.
Nantele amwe mumalezezya amenye isehemu yihwanziwa imbibhi izyabhadaada wenyu.
33 All of you serpents, all of you generation of vipers, how can all of you escape the damnation of hell? (Geenna g1067)
Amwe mzokha, bhana wimazokha, mwidala wele munza kwepe idongwa ya hujehanamu? (Geenna g1067)
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them all of you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall all of you scourge in your synagogues, and 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 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 all of you slew between the temple and the altar.
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 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Lyoli ihumbawhuzya, amambo enga gonti gakhaibhanga ishikholo eshi.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and stone them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and all of you would not!
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, All of you shall not see me henceforth, till all of you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
Nane ihuwozya, ahuande isala enzi nahundelele sangaunza hudole, mpaka lwahaiyanga, 'Asayiwilwe umwene yahwenze hwitawa ilya Bwana.”
