Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Lani ki Jesu maadi yeni o nuwuligu yeni o ŋuankaabi ki tua:
2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses's seat.
U Tienu kadabanda nba yeni farisien nba n kubi Moyiisi ñɔmaama,
3 All therefore, whatever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do: but do not ye according to their works: for they say, and do not.
ya tie mani ki gɔ cɔlni ban wangi yaali, ama yinbi n da nua ban tiendi yaali, kilima bi maadi ki naa tiendi.
4 For they bind heavy burdens, and grievous to be borne, and lay [them] on men's shoulders; but they [themselves] will not move them with one of their fingers.
Bi tungi bi niba ya tuga n kpiagi, yaali ki ban mɔno kan tuo ki taa bi nubila ki tugi.
5 But all their works they do to be seen by men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Bi tie bi bona kuli ki bi niba n ya nɔbi (nuabi), yeni bi tila yia ya po ki bi diani U Tienu maama yi gbengi ki cie li liela kuli, ki bi tiadi ñɔgbana pia.
6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Bani n gɔ ŋanbi ki buadi a kinkaan cincina ti wondn ni yeni bi tintaandiena nni,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
bi bua k bi ya cua bi niba nni, ban ya fuondiba ki yib canba nba.
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Ama yinbi, da ŋaa mani ki bi yii canba nba, kilima i pia canba yendi, yua n ye tapoli po.
9 And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father who is in heaven.
Yin gɔ da yii nul i tinga ne po i baá, kilima i pia baá yendo, yua n ye tapoli po.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, [even] Christ.
Da ŋaa mani k bi yii yonbidaan, kilima, yendo baba n tie i yudaano, lani n tie klisto.
11 But he that is greatest among you, shall be your servant.
Yua tie kpel i siign ni ba tua i tuonsɔnlo,
12 And whoever shall exalt himself, shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself, shall be exalted.
yua n dongi oba, b bu jiini o, ki yua jiindi oba ban doni o.
13 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees! hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither suffer ye them that are entering, to go in.
Yubɔnli i po, yinbi a gbanbanda yeni falisien munafigi danbi ne, kilima i pangi bi niba U Tienu diema nni kuama, yinbi mɔno, i ki bua ki kua, i gɔ kan ŋaa yaabi n bua ban kua mɔ, ban kua.
14 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Yubɔnli i po, yinbi a gbanbanda yeni falisien mɔnafiki danba, kilima, i gbendi a pakuana (kpepuol) pianmi, k fani ki jaandi ki nan maadi ti maayuyuodi; li po n cedi ki buudi te baa bia.
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 more the child of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Fala tie i yaali yinbi a gbanbanda yeni falisien nba, ki dugni i caa ya longbana n fagn ki kpaani yaabi n bu kua i jaandi. I ya la nuyendi, o biidi gɔ yi pugni ki kuan o o muu diegu. (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe to you, [ye] blind guides, who say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.
Yubɔnli i po yinbi yaabi n ki nɔ ki mɔ ji ŋmagdi i liebi, yinbi n maadi k nuli ya puoni o puoni u jaandidieciangu yeli po li ki biidi, ama nul ya puoni k li tie o jaandidieciangu wula po k k cɔlni li puoni, li kanŋaagu.
17 [Ye] fools, and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
I ki pia yami ba waami, i tie juama paaa, le po n ji yabi ki cie o lieli, wula bii o jandidieciangu yia cedi wula yi ŋanbi U Tienu nugn ni?
18 And whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
Yinbi n gɔ maadi ki nul ya poli salgbinbindli po l ki pia maami ama nul ya poli k li tie salgi yaali n maa l binbindli po k ki cɔln o maami li kan ŋaagu.
19 [Ye] fools, and blind: for which [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
I tie juama paaa, le n cie l lieli i, salgi bii li binbindli yia cedi k salgi yen mɔni U Tienu nugn ni?
20 Whoever therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things upon it.
Yua puoni bonli, altaro yeli po, o puoni yeni yaali n maa l po kuli.
21 And whoever shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it.
Yua n ́ puoni bonli k taa u jaandidieciangu yeli, u ta yeni U Tienu yeli, wani U le yeni li jaandidieli.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth upon it.
Ki yua n gɔ puoni bonli tapoli po yeli po, wan bandi k o puoni U Tienu kankaanu yeli po i, o taani yeni U Tienu kuli.
23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint, and anise, and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ye ought to have done, and not to leave the others undone.
Yubɔnli i po yinbi a gbanbanda yeni farisien nba munafiki danbi ne, kilkima i paa......... k ŋaan yaali n mɔni, lani n tie k n kuni i mɔni, sugli yeni ti ŋandi nni.
24 [Ye] blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Yinbi bi juanbi mɔ u, ki ji b dadi i lieba! Yinbi n yedi ki bua mi ñunŋanbi, ki bi tindi ki ñani i naasiigi ki nan sieni o taamo ki nali.
25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Fala tie i yali, yinbi a gbanbanda yeni ŋalacidanba, kilima i ŋanbd i jieditiadi yeni i ñuñubona puoli po i, ki ŋaa yaali n ye lien nni, k li gbieyeni ti naayignmi yeni o faagu.
26 [Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is] within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Fini farisien juamo ne, cili ki ŋanbi a ñuñubonli nni yeni a jeditagdgin no, ki li puoli po n mɔn fidi ki ya ŋani.
27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whitened sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness.
Yubɔnli i po yinbi a gbanbanda yeni farisien ŋalacidanbi ne, kilima i tie nani ya kakula (kula) k bi yi ŋanbi li puoli po lan bedi ama k li tingi po gbieyeni a kpab bedma yeni i cincibiadmu buoli kuli.
28 Thus ye also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
I mɔ tie yeni, cincanli po i naan yen nimɔnbi yeni ama ki tukdn nan gbie yeni ŋalaci yeni biid.
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous,
Yubonli, i po yinba gbanbanda yeni farisienba ŋalacidanba, kelima, i maa bi sawalpuaba kakula ki ŋanbdi bi nimɔnba kakula.
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.
I maadi: “Ti ya bo ye ti yaajanba yogu, ti bo kan kuani ti nuu yaaba wuli sawalpuaba sɔma.
31 Wherefore ye are witnesses to yourselves, that ye are the children of them who killed the prophets.
Lanwani ii, i tuo ki tieni kasiedi ke i tie yaaba n wuli bi sawalpuaba sɔma bila i.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
I mɔko gbie yeni i yaajanba tuonbiadi i.
33 [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? (Geenna g1067)
Waalaba, walabiada buolu, i ba fidi ki ciadi ku mubuogu yeni li daajuodkaali buudi jiama aa? (Geenna g1067)
34 Wherefore behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and [some] of them ye will kill and crucify, and [some] of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute [them] from city to city:
Lanyapo i ke n ba sɔni i kani bi sawalpuaba, bi yanfodanba, yeni yiko gbanbanda. I ba kpa bine, ki kpaa tianba li daapɔnpɔnli po, yaaba n sieni mo, yin pua ba a finfiba i yikodi cogdiena nni, ki beli ki ñani ba i dogu nni.
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Lan ba baa maama, li tie ke ban wuli ya niteginkaaba sɔma ki tinga po, ki cili o niteginka Abeli, ki ban juodi Berekia bijua Sakari, yin bo kpa yua ku jaandiegu yeni li jaanbinbindli siiga baa maa i yula po i.
36 Verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
N maadi yi i mɔmɔni, ya bona ne kuli ba tieni ya nifiima ne ya yogu i.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them who are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not!
Jerusalema, Jerusalema, fini yua n kpa bi sawalpuaba, ki lugdi ban sɔni yaaba i kani a tana! bonmŋa i ke n bi sugni min taani a bila na ya koomado n yi taani o koobimu o fiabi nni yeni, ama a naa pia li buama.
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
Diidi, a diegu ba tua diegbenli.
39 For I say to you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Kelima N maadi yi, i ji kan la nni, ki cili mɔla hali yeni yin yedi, “Mi yediŋanma ye yeni yua kpendi o Diedo yeli po.”
