Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes, and to His disciples,
Pamande ahizizye nu wungano wa bhantu paka na bhanafunzi bhakwe akhayanga,
2 saying, “On the seat of Moses sat down the scribes and the Pharisees;
“Abhasimbi na Mafarisayo bhakhalila itengo ilya Musa.
3 all, then, as much as they may say to you to observe, observe and do, but according to their works do not do, for they say, and do not do;
Eshi lyolyonti lyabhalajizya wombaji, muwombaje nuhu mubhanajizyaje. Lakini msahinjile mmbhiwi zyao, maana awene bhayanga amambo ngasanga bhawomba.
4 for they bind together burdens [too] heavy and grievous to bear, and lay [them] on the shoulders of men, but with their finger they will not move them.
Lyoli, awene wapinya amazingo amamwamu gasanga bhabhajie ayumule alafu bhahuwatwiha abhantu muvipungo vyao. Lakini awene sagabhayembezya hata hayobhe anyumule.
5 And all their works they do to be seen by men, and they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
Imbombo zyao zyonti bhawomba ili abhantu. Bhabhenye maana awene. Wahovyezya amabokosi gao na bhahonjezya ungosi wao na menda gao.
6 they also cherish the first couches at the banquets, and the first seats in the synagogues,
Awene wasongwa akhale isehemu inyinza yi shikulukulu, humatengo gishishi mvibhanza,
7 and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
na alamshilwe hushishi isehemu yakazizye na akwiziwe “Mwalimu” na bhantu.
8 And you may not be called Rabbi, for one is your teacher—the Christ, and you are all brothers;
Lakini amwe sangamhwaziwa akwiziwe “Mwalimu” Mli nu mwalimu weka, amwe wonti mli kholo.
9 and you may not call [any] your father on the earth, for one is your Father, who is in the heavens,
Msakha kwinzye umuntu wowonti munsi umu Daada wenyu maana mlinu Daada weke, tu nape ali humwanya.
10 nor may you be called teachers, for one is your teacher—the Christ.
Nantele msahakwiziwe 'mwalimu.' maana mli nu mwalimu weka napo yu Klisiti.
11 And the greater of you will be your servant,
Eshi yali gosi kati yenyu anzavye muwomba mbombo wenyu.
12 and whoever will exalt himself will be humbled, and whoever will humble himself will be exalted.
Wowonti yahuisomba anza hulishe na wowonti yazahwishe anzazuwe.
13 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men, for you do not go in, nor do you permit those going in to enter.
Lakini mwashela amwe awasimbi na Amafarisayo, awilenkha! Muhubhagalilila abhantu umwene wa humwanya. Amwesangamubhajie huwinjile na sangamuhubha ruhusu bhabhahuaza hwinjile.
14 [[Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you eat up the houses of the widows, and for a pretense make long prayers, because of this you will receive more abundant judgment.]]
(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 to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you go around the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and whenever it may happen—you make him a son of Gehenna twofold more 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 to you, blind guides, who are saying, Whoever may swear by the temple, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by the gold of the temple—is debtor!
Mwashela amwe mubhalongozi mbadiye amwe mumuyanga, wowonti yalapa hushi bhanza sagahuli nazimo. Lakini yalapa hwiwye lihela yishibhanza apinyilwe na lapa hwankwe.
17 Fools and blind! For which [is] greater, the gold, or the temple that is sanctifying the gold?
Amwe mubadiye wapumbavu, shenu ishi gosi ashile isha mwao iweilihela au ishibhanza, liliweshilwe tayari iwyelihela hwa Ngolobhe?
18 And, Whoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by the gift that is on it—is debtor!
Wowonti ya lapa apafinjile, hamna ahatu, ila yalapa husadaka yili humwanya yakwe, apinyilwe ni ndopo yakwe.
19 Fools and blind! For which [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that is sanctifying the gift?
Amwe mubhantu mubadiye shenu ishi gosi ashile isha mwao, isadaka au apafinjile papali tayari afumizye isadaka hwa Ngolobhe?
20 He therefore who swore by the altar, swears by it, and by all things on it;
Eshi, uumwene yalapa pashifinjile alapa hwisho ni vintu vyonti vivili pamwanya yakwe.
21 and he who swore by the temple, swears by it, and by Him who is dwelling in it;
Nape yalapa pashibhanza, alapa hulepo, nuyoakheye pakhanti yakwe.
22 and he who swore by Heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by Him who is sitting on it.
Nape yalapa humabhengo, alapa hwitengo lgosi lya Ngolobhe na hwamwene yakhenye pamwanya yakwe.
23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and neglected the weightier things of the Law—judgment, and kindness, and faith; these it was necessary to do, and those not to neglect.
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 Blind guides! Who are straining out the gnat, and are swallowing the camel.
Amwe mubhalongozi mubadiye, amwe myunga utududu utudondo lakini mumila idogobhi!
25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you make clean the outside of the cup and the plate, and within they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.
Mwashela amwe mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, bhilenkha! Aje mkhozya honzya ishikombe na honze nyi mbakuli, lakini mkhanti mumemile imbhiwi sangamli nu wonga.
26 Blind Pharisee! First cleanse the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside of them may also become clean.
Amwe Mafarisayo mubadiye, ozyaji ahuande mukhanti yishikombe na mukhanti yimbakuli, na uupande wakhonzi nape ubhe zeru.
27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you are like to whitewashed graves, which outwardly indeed appear beautiful, and within are full of bones of dead men, 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 so also you outwardly indeed appear to men righteous, and within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Shishesho namwe, namwe honze muwhonekha winza hwilongolela lya bhantu, lakini mukhanti mumemile ilenkha nu walangani.
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the graves of the prophets, and adorn the tombs 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 So that you testify to yourselves that you are sons of them 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 Because of this, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and of them you will kill and crucify, and of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and will pursue 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 on you may come all the righteous blood being poured out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom you murdered 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 truly I say to you, all these things will come on this generation.
Lyoli ihumbawhuzya, amambo enga gonti gakhaibhanga ishikholo eshi.
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that are killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to you, how often I willed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her own chickens under the wings, and you did not will.
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 to you desolate;
Enya inyumba yakho isangeye wene.
39 for I say to you, you may not see Me from now on, until you may say, Blessed [is] He who is coming in the Name of the LORD.”
Nane ihuwozya, ahuande isala enzi nahundelele sangaunza hudole, mpaka lwahaiyanga, 'Asayiwilwe umwene yahwenze hwitawa ilya Bwana.”
