Matthew 23
1 Then, Jesus spake unto the multitudes and unto his disciples,
Adudagi Jisuna miyamsing amadi mahakki tung-inbasing aduda hairak-i,
2 saying—Upon Moses’ seat, have sat down, the Scribes and the Pharisees:
“Wayel Yathanggi ojasing amasung Pharisee-singna Moses-ki phamphamda phammi.
3 All things, therefore, whatsoever they tell you, do and observe, —but, according to their works, do ye not, for they, say, and do not, perform.
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 But they bind together heavy burdens, and lay upon men’s shoulders, whereas, they, with their finger, are not willing to move them.
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, to be gazed at, by men, —for they make broad their amulets, and make large their fringes,
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 dearly love the first couch in the chief meals, and the first seats in the synagogues,
Aduga makhoina chak-khangbada ikaikhumnaba misinggi phamphamda amadi Synagogue-singda akhannaba phamphamda phamba pammi.
7 And the salutations in the market-places, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
Makhoina keithelnachingba miyam tinba maphamda chatpada misingna makhoibu ikaikhumnabaga loinana koubirakpa amadi ‘Rabbi’ haina kouhanba pammi.
8 But, ye, —do not be 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, father, be none of you called, upon the earth, for, one, is your Father, the Heavenly;
Aduga malem asida leiriba kanagumba amada ‘Ipa,’ haina kouganu maramdi nakhoigi Napa Ibungodi ama-khaktani aduga mahakti swargada lei.
10 Neither be called leaders, for, your leader, is one, the Christ;
Aduga nakhoibudi oja kouhan-ganu, maramdi nakhoigi ojadi Christta mathantani.
11 And, the greatest of you, shall be to you, a minister;
Nakhoigi narakta khwaidagi chaoba mahak aduna nakhoigi manai oigani.
12 And, whoever shall exalt himself, shall be, abased, and, whoever shall abase himself, shall be, exalted,
Masa mathanta chaojaningba mahak adubu nolluk-han-gani, aduga masana nollukchaba mahak adubu chaohanbigani.”
13 But alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye are locking up the kingdom of the heavens before men, —for, ye, are not entering, neither, them who are entering, suffer ye 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 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because ye compass sea and dry land, to make one convert—and, when it is done, ye make him a son of gehenna, twofold more than ye. (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 Alas for you, blind guides! that say—Whosoever shall swear by the Temple, it is, nothing, but, whosoever shall swear by the gold of the Temple, is bound:
“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 Foolish and blind! for which is, greater, The gold, or the Temple that hath hallowed 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, is bound:
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 Blind! for which is greater, The gift, or the altar that halloweth the gift?
Apangba amasung mittangbasa! Athenpotka athenpot adubu senghalliba latnapungga kanana henna chaobage?
20 He therefore that hath sworn by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that is upon it;
Maram aduna latnapung panduna wasakliba mahak aduna latnapung amadi madugi mathakta leiriba pot pumnamak adubu panduna wasaklabani.
21 And, he that hath sworn by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him who dwelleth therein;
Aduga Mapugi sang panduna wasakliba mahak aduna madubu amasung madugi manungda leiba Tengban Mapu mahakpu panduna wasaklabani.
22 And, he that hath sworn by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him who sitteth thereupon.
Aduga swarga panduna wasakliba mahak aduna Tengban Mapugi phambalbu amasung madugi mathakta phamliba Tengban Mapu mahakpu panduna wasaklabani.”
23 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye tithe the mint and the anise and the cummin, —and have dismissed the weightier matters of the law—the justice, the mercy, and the faith; whereas, these, it was binding, to do, and, those, not to, dismiss.
“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 Blind guides! Straining out the gnat, but, the camel, swallowing.
Mittangba lamjingbasa! Nakhoina nakhoigi thaknanaba isingdagi tumitpudi phijumda chumthok-i adubu chaoraba utpudi yotsilli!”
25 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, —while, within, they are full of plunder and intemperance.
“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 Blind Pharisee! cleanse, first, the inside, of the cup [and of the dish], that, the outside thereof, may become, clean.
Mittangba Pharisee-sa! Nakhoina ahanbada pukham tenggotki manung thangba saruk adu hanna sengdok-u, aduga mapan thangba adusu senglakkani.”
27 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye make yourselves like sepulchres whitewashed, which, outside, indeed, appear, beautiful, but, within, are full, of dead men’s bones and 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 Thus, ye also, outside, indeed, appear to men, righteous, but, within, are full, of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Matou adugumna nakhoisu mapanthongda misinggi maphamda achumba chatpa oina ui, adubu manungdadi aphasasinnaba amasung papna pik thalli.”
29 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the monuments 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 would not have been their partners 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 So that ye bear witness against yourselves, that ye are, sons, of them who murdered the prophets.
Adubu nakhoina madu haiba matamda Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpasingbu hatkhibasing adugi macha masusingni haiba nakhoi nasana phongdokchare.
32 And, ye, fill ye up the measure of your fathers!
Adu oirabadi, nakhoigi napa-napusingna houramlaba adu nakhoina mapung phahallu.
He lilsa, he lindugi machasa, norokki wayen adudagi nakhoina karamna nanthokkadage? (Geenna g1067)
34 For this cause, lo! I, send unto you, prophets and wise men and scribes, —some from among them, ye will slay and crucify, And some from among them ye will—scourge in your synagogues, and pursue 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 there may come upon you—all righteous blood poured out upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye murdered between the Temple 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, will have come, upon this generation.
Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, masi pumnamaksing asigi cheirak adu miron asigi mathakta tagani!”
37 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that have been sent unto her, —how often, would I have gathered thy children, like 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 Lo! your house is left to you;
Yeng-u, nakhoigi yum adu thadokkadouri amasung itak takkadouri.
39 For I say unto you—in no wise, may ye see me, henceforth, until ye 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.’”
