Matthew 23
1 Then Yeshua spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
Vbvrikunamv Jisu nyitwng ngala okv ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwa mintoku.
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
“Pvbv tamsarnv vdwv la okv Parisis vdwv Moses gv Pvbv nga miriadubv tolwkkunam vdwvku.
3 All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.
Vkvlvgabv nonuno bunugv ritokv vla minam a tvvrung tvka; vbvrijvka, bunugv rinam a rimwng gvyoka, ogulvgavbolo bunu oguaingbv japdudw vbv bunu rima.
4 For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
Bunu nyi vdwgv nangkulo ai ngv baknyu madubv baknam go mvlwk jido, ho gv bakjinama baknam lvgabv bunu ridur dubvka lakching ngvka chikka madu.
5 But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
Bunugv rinam minam mvnwngngv nyi vdwa kaakudubv vla rinam gomwng. Kaatoka bunu darwknv Kitap lokv akor a chartv dubv lvktola atubogv toktam lo lvngbwnglo gvnam a, okv kaadvtvka vji jenyam a asukoyo dubv gvnam a.”
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
Bunu dvpam tvngpam lo alvyachoknv dooku a doonwng nyadu okv Jius kumkunaamlo dooku a atu tola gakchodu;
7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
Bunu bajar lo mvngdvla salaam mvrwk konwng do okv “Tamsarnv” vla mingku nwngdo.
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your Rabbi, the Messiah, and all of you are brothers.
Nonuv “Tamsarnv” vla mirung mase ngv, ogulvgavbolo nonuv tamsarnv akin gomwng doodu okv nonu mvnwngngv achiboru hvku.
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
Okv nonuno sichingmooku so yvvnyika ‘Abu’ vla miyoka, ogulvgavbolo nonugv abuv akin gomwng nyidomooku tv doodunv.
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Messiah.
Vmaloka nonuno ‘Rigvdakgvnv’ vlaka minse mangngv ogulvgavbolo nonugv rigvdakgvnv Kristo akin mwng.
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
Nonu mvnwng lokv yvv kaiyachokbv ridunv, hv miang nvgobv rirunglaka.
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Yvvdw atubongv kainvgobv mvsu dunv, hv miang nvgobv rire, okv yvvdw atubongv miangbv mvngsudunv, hv kainvgobv rireku.
13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
“Vdwnvgo achialvbv mvngru runam gubv rirekunv, Pvbv tamsarnv okv Parisis kaakudubvrinv nonu lo! Nonu nyi vdwgv kaagialo nyidomooku gv Karv nga mvtum nvngv, okv nonu atuv aama gvri okv nyi v aadu bv vla rikw nvnga ka aamu magvri!
14 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
Pvbv tamsarnv okv Parisis kaakudubvrinv nonu achialvbv mvngru runam gubv rire! Nonu hvngmi vdwa riging nvminla okv bunugv naam nesung nga dvritpaapi jila, okv kumrinyi tvvpa modubv vla asu dubv kumla! vbvrinam lvkwngbv nonugv hirukaya hinse ngv achialvbv alvmanv gubv rireku!
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehinnom as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
“Pvbv tamsarnv okv Parisis kaakudubvrinv nonu achialvbv mvngru runam gubv rire! Nonu nyi ako naalwkkunam lvgabv svmasa vdwa durapla okv mooku mvnwngnga vngbo nyala; okv vdwlo hum rijik rikudw, nonu bunua lvnyi yago uyumooku bolo vngmu dubv mvyadu, nonu atubongv bolo vngrung jinv aingbv! (Geenna g1067)
16 “Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’
Kanvpvram lo vnggvnv nonu, achialvbv mvngru runam gubv rire! nonu tamsardo, ‘Yvv akonv Pwknvyarnvnaam lo milv mvngdunv, hv ogu arin kaama, okv yvvdw ain nam Pwknvyarnvnaam lo bvnglwkla milv dunv, hv milvnam lo doorung dunv’ vla.
17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
Nyikchingnv nonu! ogulo angv dinchiyanv, ain vri vmalo ain nam darwk dubv mvnv yugwng yangvri?
18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
Nonu vbvka tamsardu, ‘Yvvnyi gonv Pwknvyarnvnaam lo amin bvnglwkla milv dunv, hv milvvnam gv anyung kaama; vbvritola nw amin go bvnglwkla milv dubolo hv milv namgv anyung doodunv.’
19 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
Achialvbv nyikchingnv nonu! ogulo angv alvyanv, amin vri vmalo amen nam darwk monv yugwng vri?
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
Vkvlvgabv vdwlo akonv Pwknvyarnvnaam lo milv rikudw, nw hum okv ho gv doonv amin mvnwng ngaaka milv dukunv;
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
okv vdwlo nw Pwknvyarnvnaam lo milv rikudw, nw Naam haka okv hoka doonv Pwknvyarnv nyika milv dukunv;
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
okv vdwlo yvv nyidomooku a milv nvbolo, nw Pwknvyarnv gv dooging nga okv ho doonv nw nyika milv dukunv.
23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the Torah: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
Pvbv tamsarnv okv Parisis kaakudubv rinv vdw nonu achialvbv mvngru runam gubv rire! nonuno pwnampaanam lokv miangjeka vring lokv akin jinam a jibwng gvri, nonunogv nayam lokv ujiuu miang nvnga ka, vbvritola nonu pvbv lokv dinchi nvnga rimadu hv minkiam miriam manam, aya minsunam, okv alv minsunam, sum nonu rirung svngv, akonyika kayu mabv.
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
Kanvpvram lo vnggvnv nonu! Nonu nonugv tvngku lokv tanyik jarlwk nvnga naala naa gvri, vbvritola kemel go dvmit gvri!
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
Pvbv tamsarnv okv Parisis kaakudubvrinv vdw nonu achialvbv mvngru runam gubv rire! Nonu nonugv taali koobu gv agum a harkak do, vbvritola arwng ngv mvvnamrunam mv okv atu mvngwngbv rimin kunam mv awyaje duku.
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
Nyikchingnv Parisi nonu! Koobu arwng nga kakcho tvka, okv vbvrikubolo agum hvka darwk minggv riku!
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones and of all uncleanness.
Pvbv tamsarnv okv Parisis kaadubv rinv, nonu achialvbv mvngru runam gubv rire! nyibung nga tanu piaknam jvbv ridu, hv agum hv kaarinyi kaapudo vbvritola arwng ngv svma alo ako ngvku yaaku nvngv doodu.
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Hvkv aingbv, nonu agum lo mvnwngnga alv nvgubv kaatamdo, vbvritola arwnglo nonuno tanyumtaa ngv rimur doomur v awyaje duku.
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
Pvbv tamsarnv okv Parisis, kaakudubv rinv nonu achialvgo hirukaya hinre! Nonu nyijwk vdwgv lvgabv alvnv nyibung mvdu okv nyi alvbv svngto kula sinv vdwgv nyibung ngaaka kaapu alvbv kaau pvvnamgo mvdu.
30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn’t have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
Okv nonuno mindu, nonu nonugv abuapa vdwgv doori ho doonv guilo, bunugv rinam aingbv nyijwk vdwa gwngrw gwma dunvpv.
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
Vkvlvgabv nonuno nyijwk vdwa gwngrw gwnv gv husi gubv minduku.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
Vbvrikunamv, vngnyila nonugv abuapa gv rirap kunam a rime tvkuka!
33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehinnom? (Geenna g1067)
Tabw nonu okv tabw vdwgv umvuu vdw nonu! Nonuno oguaingbv miyakaya nama paala uyumooku bolo ima rinvpv vla dvmin dunv? (Geenna g1067)
34 Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
Okv vkvlvgabv ngo nonua hum minpa jidunv, ngo nonu gvlo nyijwk vdwa vngmure okv chinv mvngnv vdwa okv tamsarnv vdwaka; nonu bunua kvgonyi mvkire, kvgonyi daapo lo takire, okv kvgonyi Jius kumkunaamlo svnyakpare, okv bunua banggu lokv banggu gunvlo charare.
35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
Vbvrikunamv, alvnv nyi mvnwngnga gwngrw gwnv vdwa mvritririt svngv nonu gvlo doolwkre, alvnv Abelnyi gwngrw gwnam lokv naalayila Berukia gv kuunyilo Jakarianyi nonugv Pwknvyarnvnaam gvla yugwng gv pingko lo gwngrw gwkunamv.

37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Nonu nyijwk vdwa mvkito okv Pwknvyarnv gv nonu gvlo gindungpingko vngmunam vdwa nonu vlwng orkito! Vdwnvgo ngo noogv nyi mvnwngnga laakhv laakyum dubv ridukubv, poruk roknv gv ruu vdwa ninyigv laap lokv lapyumnam aingbv, vbvritola nonu ngam vbv rimuma!
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
Okv vkvlvgabv nonugv Pwknvyarnvnaam ma toapagga laku oguka dooku mare.
39 For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
