< Matthew 23 >

1 Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples,
Adudagi Jisuna miyamsing amadi mahakki tung-inbasing aduda hairak-i,
2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat:
“Wayel Yathanggi ojasing amasung Pharisee-singna Moses-ki phamphamda phammi.
3 all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, [these] do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.
Maram aduna makhoina haiba pumnamak adu nakhoina ngak-u amasung tou. Adumakpu makhoina touba matou adugumnadi touganu, maramdi makhoina tambiba wa adu makhoina toude.
4 Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
Makhoina arumba amadi pubada wagadaba potlumsingbu misinggi marengbanda thonggatli, adubu makhoi masanadi makhoibu mateng pangnanaba khudombi phaoba thanggatningde.
5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders [of their garments],
Aduga makhoina touba thabak khudingmak misingna unanaba tou-i. Makhoina Mapugi Puyagi aiba wahei haptuna sijinnaba sawunna semba upu adu pak-halli aduga makhoigi phigi phinasing adu cholhalli.
6 and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Aduga makhoina chak-khangbada ikaikhumnaba misinggi phamphamda amadi Synagogue-singda akhannaba phamphamda phamba pammi.
7 and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.
Makhoina keithelnachingba miyam tinba maphamda chatpada misingna makhoibu ikaikhumnabaga loinana koubirakpa amadi ‘Rabbi’ haina kouhanba pammi.
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren.
Adubu nakhoibudi ‘Rabbi’ kouhan-ganu, maramdi nakhoigi ojadi ama-khaktani, aduga nakhoi pumnamak nachin-nanao ngaktani.
9 And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Aduga malem asida leiriba kanagumba amada ‘Ipa,’ haina kouganu maramdi nakhoigi Napa Ibungodi ama-khaktani aduga mahakti swargada lei.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, [even] the Christ.
Aduga nakhoibudi oja kouhan-ganu, maramdi nakhoigi ojadi Christta mathantani.
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Nakhoigi narakta khwaidagi chaoba mahak aduna nakhoigi manai oigani.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Masa mathanta chaojaningba mahak adubu nolluk-han-gani, aduga masana nollukchaba mahak adubu chaohanbigani.”
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter.
“Adubu aphasasinnaba, he Wayel Yathanggi ojasing amasung Pharisee-sing nakhoidi awabanida! Maramdi misingna changjagadaba swarga leibakki thong adu nakhoina thingjilli. Aduga nakhoi nasamaksu maduda changde aduga maduda changnaba hotnajariba makhoi adubusu nakhoina thing-i.
Aphasasinaba, he Wayel Yathanggi ojasing amasung Pharisee-sing nakhoidi awabanida! Maramdi nakhoina lukhrabisingdagi khudongchaba louduna mayum-makei mulli, aduga misingna unanabagidamak tousinnaduna Tengban Mapuda haijaba adu sangna haijei. Maram aduna nakhoina henna kanba cheirak phanggani.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
“Aphasasinaba, he Wayel Yathanggi ojasing amasung Pharisee-sing nakhoidi awabanida! Maramdi nakhoina mi amabu nakhoigi lainingda olhannabagidamak ipak kaya amasung lamdam kaya koina chatli. Aduga mahakna ollaklabada mahakpu nakhoina oiba adudagi saruk ani henna norokki macha oihalli.” (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.
“Mittangba lamjingbasa, nakhoidi awabanida! Nakhoina hai ningnasang panduna wasakpadi karisu natte, ‘Adubu Mapugi Sanglengi sana adu panduna wasakpa mahak adu mahakki wasak aduna pullabani.’
17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold?
Apangba amasung mittangbasa! Sanaga sana adubu senghalliba Mapugi Sang aduga kanana henna chaobage?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor.
Aduga nakhoina asisu tambi madudi, ‘Kanagumbana latnapung panduna wasaklabasu karisu natte, adubu latnapunggi mathakta leiba athenpot adu panduna wasakpa mahak adudi mahakki wasak aduna pullabani.’
19 Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
Apangba amasung mittangbasa! Athenpotka athenpot adubu senghalliba latnapungga kanana henna chaobage?
20 He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
Maram aduna latnapung panduna wasakliba mahak aduna latnapung amadi madugi mathakta leiriba pot pumnamak adubu panduna wasaklabani.
21 And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
Aduga Mapugi sang panduna wasakliba mahak aduna madubu amasung madugi manungda leiba Tengban Mapu mahakpu panduna wasaklabani.
22 And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Aduga swarga panduna wasakliba mahak aduna Tengban Mapugi phambalbu amasung madugi mathakta phamliba Tengban Mapu mahakpu panduna wasaklabani.”
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.
“Aphasasinnba, he Wayel Yathanggi ojasing amasung pharisee-sing nakhoidi awabanida! Maramdi nakhoina nungsihidak, hop, amadi jira phaoba saruk taragi ama katli adubu nakhoina Wayel Yathanggi maru oiba hiramsing haibadi achumba wayel, chanbiba, amasung thajaba yaba adubudi thou-oide. Hoi nakhoina madusu tougadabani adubu henna maruoibasing adubu thou-oidaba touroidabani.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel.
Mittangba lamjingbasa! Nakhoina nakhoigi thaknanaba isingdagi tumitpudi phijumda chumthok-i adubu chaoraba utpudi yotsilli!”
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess.
“Aphasasinnaba, he Wayel Yathanggi ojasing amasung Pharisee-sing nakhoidi awabanida! Maramdi nakhoigi pukham tenggotki mapan thangba saruk adubudi sengdok-i, adubu manungdadi mihouba amasung masa khudum chanjadabana pik thalli.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also.
Mittangba Pharisee-sa! Nakhoina ahanbada pukham tenggotki manung thangba saruk adu hanna sengdok-u, aduga mapan thangba adusu senglakkani.”
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
“Aphasasinnaba, he Wayel Yathanggi ojasing amasung Pharisee-sing nakhoidi awabanida! Maramdi nakhoidi mapanthongda phajana uba adubu manungdadi asibasinggi saru amasung amotpa pumnamakna pik thanba angouba teiba mongphamsingumbani.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Matou adugumna nakhoisu mapanthongda misinggi maphamda achumba chatpa oina ui, adubu manungdadi aphasasinnaba amasung papna pik thalli.”
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and garnish the tombs of the righteous,
“Aphasasinnaba, he Wayel Yathanggi ojasing amasung Pharisee-sing nakhoidi awabanida! Maramdi nakhoina Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpasinggi phajaba mongphamsing sai amasung achumba chatpasinggi mongphamgi phurasingbu ningthina leiteng-i.
30 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Aduga nakhoina hai, ‘Eikhoina eikhoigi ipa ipusinggi haktakta hinglamba tarabadi, eikhoina Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpasingbu makhoina hatpa aduda eikhoina saruk yaramloi.’
31 Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets.
Adubu nakhoina madu haiba matamda Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpasingbu hatkhibasing adugi macha masusingni haiba nakhoi nasana phongdokchare.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Adu oirabadi, nakhoigi napa-napusingna houramlaba adu nakhoina mapung phahallu.
33 Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell? (Geenna g1067)
He lilsa, he lindugi machasa, norokki wayen adudagi nakhoina karamna nanthokkadage? (Geenna g1067)
34 Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
Maram aduna, yeng-u, eina nakhoida hairi, eina nakhoida Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpasing, asingba mising amasung ojasingbu thagani. Aduga nakhoina makhoi kharabu hatkani amasung kharabuna cross-ta hatkani. Amasung atoppa ateisingbuna nakhoina nakhoigi Synagogue-singda phugani amasung makhoibu sahar amadagi sahar amada tannaduna ot-neigani.
35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar.
Masi achumba chatpa Abel hatpadagi houraga Mapugi Sanglen amasung latnapunggi marakta hatkhiba Barachiah-gi machanupa Zechariah hatkhiba matam phaobada malemda takhiba achumba chatpa mi pumnamakki eegi cheirak adu nakhoigi nathakta tananabani.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, masi pumnamaksing asigi cheirak adu miron asigi mathakta tagani!”
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
“Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpasingbu hatpa amasung nangonda thakhiba Mapu Ibungogi pao pubasingbu nungna thaba, he Jerusalem Jerusalem! Yenbina machasingbu mathanungda konsinbagumna kayamuk thoina nahakki nachasingbu eina ithanungda konjaningkhiba! Adubu nakhoina kolhankhide.
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Yeng-u, nakhoigi yum adu thadokkadouri amasung itak takkadouri.
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.
Maramdi eina nakhoida hairibasini, ‘MAPU IBUNGO-gi mingda lenglakliba Ibungo mahak adu yaiphabani haibasi nakhoina haidriphaoba nakhoina eibu keidounungda amuk hanna uraroi.’”
