Matthew 23
1 Then spake Jesus to the people and to his disciples, saying,
Baadaye akalongela ni bhumati bhwa bhanafunzi bha muene ni bhanu. Akajobha,
2 The scribes and pharisees sit in the seat of Moses:
“Bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo bhitamila kiti kya Musa.
3 observe therefore and do all things whatsoever they tell you to observe; but do not ye according to their works, for they say and do not:
Henu kyokyoha khela kyabhakaa munu kubhomba, mubhombayi khoni mukabhachungusya. Lakini msijhesi matendo gha bhene, kwa ndabha bhene bhitamka mambo gha bhibhomba lepi.
4 for they bind grievous and intolerable burthens, and impose them upon men; but they themselves will not put a finger to them:
Kweli, bhene bhikhonga misighu ghyaghitopa ambaghyo ni figumu kup'henda, na kisha bhakabhap'endesya bhanu mu mabega gha bhene. Lakini bhene bhihegelesya lepi hata kikonji kujhip'henda.
5 but they do all their works to be seen by men; they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
Matendo ghoha agha ghakaghabhomba ili bhalangibhuajhi ni bhanu. Kwa ndabha bhene bhipanula masanduku gha bhene na bhijhongesya mapindo gha mavazi gha bhene.
6 and love the uppermost places at feasts,
Bhene bhip'hendelela kutama maeneo gha kifahari mu sherehe ni mu fiti fya heshima mugati mu masinagogi,
7 and the chief seats in the synagogues, and salutations in public assemblies, and to be called by men Rabbi, Rabbi.
ni kusalimibhwa kwa heshima maeneo gha pa soko, ni kukutibhwa “Bhalimu” ni bhanu.
8 But be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor even Christ, and ye are all brethren.
Lakini muenga mwilondeka lepi kukutibhwa “Bhalimi,” kwa ndabha mujhenaku Mwalimu mmonga tu, yaani Kristu na muenga mwebhoha lukholo.
9 Neither call any man upon earth Father; for one is your Father, who is in heaven:
Musin'kuti munu jhojhioha jhola pa duniani apa kujha dadi jhinu, kwa kujha myenaku dadi yinu, mmonga tu, nu muene ajhele kumbinguni.
10 neither be ye called masters; for one is your master, even Christ.
Bhwala musihidi kukutibhwa 'bhalimu,' kwa kujha mjhenaku Mwalimu tu, yaani Kristu.
11 But let him that is greatest among you be your minister: and whosoever will exalt himself shall be abased,
Bali jhaajhe mbaha mugati mwa muenga ibetakujha n'tumishib ghwa muenga. Jhejhioha jhola jhaikwikuesya ibetaselesibhwa.
12 and whosoever will humble himself shall be exalted.
Na jhejhioha jha ibetakwiselesya ibetakukwesibhwa.
13 But wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites, who shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, nor suffer those that are entering to go in.
Lakini ole bhwinu bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo, bhanafiki! Mkabhafungila bhanu bhufalme bhwa mbinguni. Namu mwibhwesya lepi kujhingila, na mkabharuhusu lepi bha bhijhingila kubhomba aghu.
14 Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; for ye devour widows houses, and for a cover make long prayers: therefore ye shall receive the heavier judgement.
15 Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites: for ye compass sea and land to make a proselyte, and when he is gained, ye make him more the child of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Mwilobhoka kwiselya jha bahari ni kufika kummbomba munu mmonga jhaiamini ghala gha mughamanyisi, na paijha kama muenga, mwibhomba mara mbili mwana ghwa jehanamu kama muenga mwebhene kyamujhele. (Geenna g1067)
16 Wo unto you, ye blind guides, who say, If any one swear by the temple, it is nothing;
Ole bhinu muenga bhalongosi bhabhilola lepi, muenga mwijobha, Jhejhioha jha ilapa ku lihekalu khenu lepi. Lakini jhailapa kwa dhabahu jha hekalu, afungibhu kwa kiapo kya muene.
17 but if any man swear by the gold of the temple, the oath is binding. Foolish and blind creatures! for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
Muenga fipofu bhapumbafu, kheleku kibhaha kuliko khenge, dhahabu au lihekalu ambalyo libhabhekili bhakfu dhahabu kwa K'yara?
18 And, If any one swear by the altar, it is nothing; but if any one swear by the gift upon it, he is bound.
Na, j'hejhioha jhailapa kwa madhabahu, khenu lepi. Bali jhailapa kwa sadaka jhaijhele panani pa muene, afungibhu ni kiapo kya muene.
19 O foolish and blind! for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifieth the gift?
Muenga bhanu fipofu, khelekhu kibhaha kuliko khenge, sadaka au madhabahu ambagho ghibheka bhakfu sadaka syasipisibhwa kwa K'yara?
20 He then, that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it and by all things upon it:
Henu, muene jhailapa kwa madhabahu ilapa kwa ejhu ni kwa fenu fyoha fyafijhele panani pa muene.
21 and he, that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by Him that dwelleth in it:
Nu muene jhailapa kwa hekalu, ilapa kwa elu na kwa muene jhaitama mugati mwa muene.
22 and he, that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by Him that sitteth upon it.
Nu muene jhailapa kwa mbingu, ilapa kwa kya enzi kya K'yara ni kwa muene jhaitama kunani kwa muene.
23 Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites, who tithe even your mint, and anise, and cummin, but neglect the weightier matters of the law, judgement, mercy, and fidelity: these ye ought undoubtedly to practise, and not to omit the others.
Ole bhinu, bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo, bhanafiki! Kwa kujha mwilepa zaka kwa bizali, mnaanaa ni nchicha, lakini mwilepa mambo masitu gha sheria- haki, rehema, ni imani. Lakini agha mwilondeka kujha mughabhombili, na siyo kuleka ghangi bila kughatekelesya.
24 Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
Muenga bhalongosi fipofu, muenga ambabho mwichuja lenu lidusu mwimila ngamia!
25 Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; for ye clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of rapine and intemperance:
Ole bhinu, bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo, bhanafiki kwa kujha mwisuka kwibhala ku fikombe ni kwibhala ku sahani, lakini mugati mumemili dhuluma ni kutokujha ni kiasi.
26 thou blind pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside of them may be also clean.
Muenga Mafarisayo fipofu, musukayi hoti mugati mu kikombi ni musahani, ili lubhafu lwa kwibhala nu luene lujhelayi kinofu pia.
27 Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; who are like whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful without, but within are full of the bones of the dead, and all manner of filthiness;
Ole bhinu, bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo, bhanafiki! kwa ndabha mwiwaningana ni makaburi ghaghabakibhu chokaa, ambagho kwa kwibhala ghibhonekana manofu, lakini kwa mugati ghamemili mafupa gha bhafu ni khila khenu kyakijhele kichafu.
28 so do ye likewise outwardly appear to men to be righteous, but within are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Fefuefu, namu kwa kwibhala mwibhonekana bhenye haki mbele sa bhanu, lakini kwa mugati mumemili bhunafiki ni bhudhalimu.
29 Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; who build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the just,
Ole bhinu, bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo, bhanafiki! kwa kujha mwijenga makaburi gha manabii ni kughapamba makaburi gha bhenye haki.
30 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been concerned with them in shedding the blood of the prophets:
Muenga mwijobha, kama tungeishi magono gha tata ghwitu, ngatujhelepi pamonga nabhu kujhitisya lilopa lya manabii.
31 so that ye are witnesses yourselves, that ye are the children of those who killed the prophets:
Henu, mwishuhudila mwebhene kujha muenga ndo bhana bha abhu bha bhakomili manabii.
32 fill up then the measure of your fathers, ye serpents, ye brood of vipers:
Pia muenga mwikamilisya kumemesya sehemu jhajhilondeka dhambi sya bha tata jhinu.
Muenga mayoka, bhana bha vipiribao, kibhuli mkajhiyepa hukumu jha jehanamu? (Geenna g1067)
34 For behold I send unto 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:
Henu, langayi, nikabhatuma kwa muenga manabii, bhanu bhabhajhe ni hekima, ni bhaandishi. Baadhi jha bhene bhibeta kubhakhoma ni kubhasulubisya. Na baadhi jha bhene mwibetakubhatobha mgati mu masinagogi gha muenga ni kubhabhenga kuh'omela mji umonga hadi bhongi.
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 the son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Matokeo ni kwamba panani pa muenga pibeta kuhomela lilopa lyoha lya bhenye haki syasijhitisibhu pa duniani, kujhandila kilo pa lya Habili jhaajhe ni haki hadi kwa lilopa lya Zakaria mwana ghwa Barakia, jha mwan'komili kati jha patakatifu ni madhabahu.
36 Verily I tell you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
Bhukweli, nikabhajobhela, mambo agha ghoha ghibetakukikabha kizazi e'khe.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, bhebhe jhaukabhakhoma manabii ni kubhahomelela maganga bhala ambabho bhatumwa bha bhebhe! mara silenga nibhabhongeniye bhana bha bhebhe pamonga kama vile n'ng'oko kya ikafibhonganiya fyana fya muene pasi pa mababatilu gha muene, lakini ghwabelili!
38 Behold your house shall be left you desolate:
Langai, nyumba jha jhobhi jhisiele bhukhebha.
39 for I tell you, ye shall not see me after this, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Nani nikujobhela, Kujhandila henu ni kujhendelela ghwibeta lepi kunibhona, hadi paghibeta kujobha, 'Abarikibhu muene jhaibetakuhida ku lihina lya Bwana.'”
