Matthew 23
1 Then said Jesus to the crowds and to his disciples.
Pamande ahizizye nu wungano wa bhantu paka na bhanafunzi bhakwe akhayanga,
2 "The Scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat;
“Abhasimbi na Mafarisayo bhakhalila itengo ilya Musa.
3 "therefore do and observe whatever they bid you; but do not do as they do, for they preach, but do not practise.
Eshi lyolyonti lyabhalajizya wombaji, muwombaje nuhu mubhanajizyaje. Lakini msahinjile mmbhiwi zyao, maana awene bhayanga amambo ngasanga bhawomba.
4 "For they bind heavy burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves will not lift a finger to move them.
Lyoli, awene wapinya amazingo amamwamu gasanga bhabhajie ayumule alafu bhahuwatwiha abhantu muvipungo vyao. Lakini awene sagabhayembezya hata hayobhe anyumule.
5 "For they do all their good deeds to be gazed on of men. They widen their phylacteries,
Imbombo zyao zyonti bhawomba ili abhantu. Bhabhenye maana awene. Wahovyezya amabokosi gao na bhahonjezya ungosi wao na menda gao.
6 "and lengthen the tassels, and are fond of the best places at banquets, and the front seats in the synagogues.
Awene wasongwa akhale isehemu inyinza yi shikulukulu, humatengo gishishi mvibhanza,
7 "They enjoy salutations in the market-places, and to have men call them ‘Rabbi.’
na alamshilwe hushishi isehemu yakazizye na akwiziwe “Mwalimu” na bhantu.
8 "But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’; 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 one ‘Father’ on earth, for One is your Father in heaven.
Msakha kwinzye umuntu wowonti munsi umu Daada wenyu maana mlinu Daada weke, tu nape ali humwanya.
10 "And call no one ‘Leader,’ because One is your leader, even the Christ.
Nantele msahakwiziwe 'mwalimu.' maana mli nu mwalimu weka napo yu Klisiti.
11 "Whoever is great among you shall be your minister;
Eshi yali gosi kati yenyu anzavye muwomba mbombo wenyu.
12 "whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.
Wowonti yahuisomba anza hulishe na wowonti yazahwishe anzazuwe.
13 "But woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces; for you do not enter, yourselves, nor do you permit those who are about to come 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! For you scour sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is gained, you make him twofold more a son of hell than you are, 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 say, If any one swears by the Sanctuary, it is nothing, but if any one swears by the gold of the Sanctuary, the oath is binding.
Mwashela amwe mubhalongozi mbadiye amwe mumuyanga, wowonti yalapa hushi bhanza sagahuli nazimo. Lakini yalapa hwiwye lihela yishibhanza apinyilwe na lapa hwankwe.
17 "You fools and blind; for which is greater, the gold, or the Sanctuary which hallows the gold?
Amwe mubadiye wapumbavu, shenu ishi gosi ashile isha mwao iweilihela au ishibhanza, liliweshilwe tayari iwyelihela hwa Ngolobhe?
18 "You say, too, that whoever swears by the offering that is upon it, his oath is binding.
Wowonti ya lapa apafinjile, hamna ahatu, ila yalapa husadaka yili humwanya yakwe, apinyilwe ni ndopo yakwe.
19 "You blind! Which is greater, the offering or the altar which hallows the offering?
Amwe mubhantu mubadiye shenu ishi gosi ashile isha mwao, isadaka au apafinjile papali tayari afumizye isadaka hwa Ngolobhe?
20 "He then, who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it;
Eshi, uumwene yalapa pashifinjile alapa hwisho ni vintu vyonti vivili pamwanya yakwe.
21 "and he who swears by the Sanctuary swears by it and by Him who dwells therein;
Nape yalapa pashibhanza, alapa hulepo, nuyoakheye pakhanti yakwe.
22 "and he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits thereon.
Nape yalapa humabhengo, alapa hwitengo lgosi lya Ngolobhe na hwamwene yakhenye pamwanya yakwe.
23 "Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and neglect the weightier matters of the Law - justice and mercy and good faith; these latter you ought to have done, and not to have left the former 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 "You blind guides! who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel!
Amwe mubhalongozi mubadiye, amwe myunga utududu utudondo lakini mumila idogobhi!
25 "Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but within they are filled with 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 Pharisees, first clean the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside of it 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! You are like white- washed sepulchers. They look beautiful without, but within they are filled with dead men’s bones and all rottenness.
Mwashela amwe, mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, Mubhilenkha! Mlinifyano yimakaburi gagapashilwe ichokaa, khoze gawhonekha miza lakini mukhanti gamemile amafupa gabhafyinye na shila khanti hintavu.
28 "Just so you also outwardly appear to men, just, but within you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
Shishesho namwe, namwe honze muwhonekha winza hwilongolela lya bhantu, lakini mukhanti mumemile ilenkha nu walangani.
29 "Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You rebuild the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the righteous, and say,
Mwashela amwe, mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, Mubhilenkha! Mzenga amakaburi ya wakuwa nahugapambe amakaburi gabhagolosu.
30 "‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been their comrades in the murder of the prophets.’
Namwe muyanga, aje mngakheye isiku izya waadadawenyu, indisanga muwombile peka akhinte ianda ilya wakuwa.
31 "So you bear witness against yourselves, that you are the descendants of those who slew the prophets!
Amwe muhuyanga muwyene aje amwe muli bhana bhewo bhabhakhabha budile awakuwa.
32 "Fill up then 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 "For this cause, behold! I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and 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 upon your heads may come every drop of innocent blood spilt upon the earth, from the blood of Abel, the just, to the blood of Zechariah the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the Sanctuary 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 "In solemn truth I tell you that all these things will come upon this generation.
Lyoli ihumbawhuzya, amambo enga gonti gakhaibhanga ishikholo eshi.
37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murdering the prophets, and stoning those who have been sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and 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 to you desolate!
Enya inyumba yakho isangeye wene.
39 "For I tell you that never shall you see me again until you say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." "nor did they know until the deluge came and swept them away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.
Nane ihuwozya, ahuande isala enzi nahundelele sangaunza hudole, mpaka lwahaiyanga, 'Asayiwilwe umwene yahwenze hwitawa ilya Bwana.”
