Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes, and to his disciples,
Kuleka ite auligilye ne antu neamanyisigwa ahwe,
2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses.
''Iaandeki neamafalisayo ikaie ituntu lang'wa Musa.
3 All, therefore, whatever they bid you, do and observe; but do not according to their works; for they say, and do not.
Kehi neakumuila kituma, itumi kunu mezeagoza. Kuita muteke kituma intendo yao, kunsoko neanso elunga imakani neshaituma.
4 They bind heavy burdens, and lay them on men's shoulders, and will not themselves move them with a finger.
Itai etunga meligo melito neanso hange mekaku humehenha, hange eahensha iantu mumeenga ao. Kuite neanso shaehugeela ata ninino kukenha.
5 And all their works they do to be observed by men. They make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge their fringes,
Inlendo yao yehi, ituma nsoko agozwe neantu. Kunsoko neanso igalipya imasandeko ao nukongeelya ukuulu nua upendi wang'wenda ao.
6 and love the first place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Neanso ilowa kikie muianza yakikulya muumalagone mumatuntu akakulya mukate amumasinagogi,
7 and salutations in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
nuhulamushigwa kukulyo nkani yakusoko, nukulang'wa, ''Amanyisi'' ne antu.
8 But be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your teacher; and ye are all brethren.
Kuite unye singainonee kitangwa''Miamanyisi'' Kunsoko muukete umumanyisi ung'wi, hange unye meehi mekiluna.
9 And call no one your father on the earth; for one is your father, he who is in heaven.
Muleke kuuitanga muntu wehi apa mihe kena Tata wanyu, kunsoko mukete Tata wang'wi alua, nung'wenso ukole hilunde.
10 Nor be ye called leaders; for one is your leader, the Christ.
Hange muleke kitangwa ''amanyisi'' kunsoko mukete umumanyisi ung'wi duu, inge Kristo.
11 But the greatest among you will be your servant.
Inge numukulu mulalanyu ukutala mutumi wanyu.
12 And whoever shall exalt himself will be humbled; and whoever shall humble himself will be exalted.
Wehi nukihumbula ukusimigwa, hange wehi nukisimya ukuhumbulwa.
13 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites I because ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for ye go not in yourselves, nor suffer those who are entering to go in.
Kuite ukea wanyu aandeki nea mafalisayo, ateele! mukua lugaile iantu utemi nuakilunde. Nunyenyeshamuhumile kingela, shamuagombilye neakingela hutende ite.
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, ye make him two-fold mole a son of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Ukae wanyu aandeki neafalisayo, ateele! Mukuputa itumbe labahali nukumutenda umuntu ung'wi wahuele kuaya nemukumanyisa. hangi nuekatenda anga unyenye, mukumulenda kabiili muntu nue [kumoto] jehanamu anga uu uuyenye nemile. (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe to you, blind guides, that say, Whoever sweareth by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever sweareth by the gold of the temple, is bound.
Ukae wanyu atongeeli nea poku, unye nemilunga, wehi nuelapa kitekeelo, singa kentu. Kuite nuelapa kilapo la zahabu ni lekeelo, ukulungwa nekelapokakwe.
17 Fools and blind I for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
Unye apoku meapungu, nekeule nekekulu kukelakeuya, zahabune angwi itekeelo neliikilwe wakufu nezahabu kung'wi Tunda?
18 And, Whoever sweareth by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, is bound.
Hange, wehi nukulapa kuzahabu, singa kentu. Inge nukulapa kisongelyo nelekole mung'waakwe, utungilwa nuulapi wakwe.
19 Blind men! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar flint sanctifieth the gift?
Unye antu nemeapoku, nekeule nekekulu kukele ikiunya isongeelyona ang'wi adhabu neekwa wakufu imasongeilyo nepumigwa kung'wi Tunda?
20 He then who sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that is upon it;
Kuite, nuanso nuelopa kuzahabu wilapa kunelanso nukumaintu ehe nahole kung'wa akwe.
21 and he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him who dwelleth in it;
Nung'wenso nuelapa mitekeelo, wilapa kunelanso kung'wenso nuekili akwe.
22 and he who sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him who sitteth thereon.
Nung'wenso nuelapa kiluunde, wilapa pituntu la utemi ne lang'wi Tunda nukung'wenso nuikie mung'wanso.
23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithes of the mint, and the dill, and the cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the Law, justice, and mercy, and faith; these ought ye to have done, and not to leave those undone.
Ukae wanyu, aandeki neafalisayo, ateele! kunsoko mukupunya ezaka kubizali, mnaanaa nechicha, kuita mukuleka imakani nemalito milego -tai ukende, nuuhueli. Kuite aya yemunonee kutula mutumile, hange singa kumaleka nemangiza muhile kumitumela.
24 Blind guides! who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Unye atongeeli nemeapoku, nemukusuza umududu numuniino kuite mukuimela ingamia!
25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and the platter, but within they are full of robbery and licentiousness.
Ukae wanyu, andeki neafalisayo, miateele! Kunsoko mukoja ikole kunzi ne sahani kuhunzi, kuite kunzi izue uubi hange kulile anga upolo.
26 Blind Pharisee! cleanse first the inside of the cup, that its outside side also may become clean.
Unye aaafalisa nemiapoku, oji hanza ikole mukati ne mukati a sahani, nsoko inkika na kunzi etule nza nenyenso gaa.
27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whited sepulchres, which outwardly indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Ukae wanyi, aandeke neafalisayo, meateele! kunsoko mukimpyana niibeela napakilwe ukenke, kunzi igela maza, kuite mukati izue imakupa naashi hange kela kentu neke bii.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Uulukuli, nunye kunzi migee kena miaza ntongeele aantu, kuite kunzi mizue uteele nuubi.
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous,
Ukae wanyu, aandeki neafalisayo, meateele! kunsoko mukuzenga iibiila na anyakidagu nukupambe iibiila yao awa nea tai.
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.
Unye milunga, anga aekikie mumahiku a tata itu, shanga aezekipalung'wi nao kuhunula usakami nuanya kidagu.
31 So that ye bear witness against yourselves, that ye are the sons of those who killed the prophets.
Kuite mukihenga unyenye kena unye miana ao awa nae abulagile ianyakidagu.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers!
Hange unyenye mukupikeelya kizulya pang'wanso niinonee umulandu nua Tata anyu.
Unye nzoka, akete vipilibao, muuekile ule uulamuli nuakujehanamu? (Geenna g1067)
34 Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; some of them ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city;
Kuite, goza, kuatuma kitalanyu ianyakidagu, antuneakuligwa, neaandeki, Ang'wi ao mukuabulaga nukuaja. Ang'wiao mukuakua mumasinagogi anyu nukuazunsa nukupuma makesale king'wi sunga numuya.
35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye slew, between the temple and the altar.
Upumeli kena kung'wa anyu ukupumela usakami wehi nua tai nauhunuwe mihe, kaziilya isakamiang'wa Habili nua tai sunga isakani niya Zakalia ung'waa Balaki, nae mumubulabile patakatifu nepa kezindaalo.
36 Truly do I say to you, All these things will come upon this generation.
Tai, kumuila, imakani aya ehi akuupata uwileli uwu.
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, uewe nukeze abulaga ianyakidagu nukuakua namagwe awa neatumilwe kung'wa ako! Nkua inga kumilingeela iang'enya ako palung'wi anga enkuku nilingeela iana akwe mumanana akwe, kuite singa wikagomba!
38 Lo! your house is left to you desolate.
Goza ito lako lasaga nuula.
39 For I say to you, Ye will not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Nunee kuila, kandeelya, itungo lele nukulongoleka singa umona, sunga nuekalunga, “Ukembetilwe nuanso nuzile kulina nela Mukulu.”
