Matthew 23
1 Thanne Jhesus spac to the puple, and to hise disciplis,
Kisha Yesu akauambia umati wa watu pamoja na wanafunzi wake:
2 and seide, On the chayere of Moises, scribis and Farisees han sete.
“Walimu wa sheria na Mafarisayo wameketi katika kiti cha Mose,
3 Therfor kepe ye, and do ye alle thingis, what euer thingis thei seien to you. But nyle ye do aftir her werkis; for thei seien, and don not.
hivyo inawapasa kuwatii na kufanya kila kitu wanachowaambia. Lakini msifuate yale wanayotenda, kwa sababu hawatendi yale wanayohubiri.
4 And thei bynden greuouse chargis, and that moun not be borun, and putten on schuldris of men; but with her fyngur thei wolen not moue hem.
Wao hufunga mizigo mikubwa na kuiweka mabegani mwa watu, lakini wao wenyewe hawako radhi hata kuinua kidole ili kuisogeza.
5 Therfor thei don alle her werkis `that thei be seen of men; for thei drawen abrood her filateries, and magnifien hemmes.
“Wao hutenda mambo yao yote ili waonekane na watu. Hupanua vikasha vyao vyenye maandiko ya sheria na kurefusha matamvua ya mavazi yao.
6 And thei louen the first sittyng placis in soperis, and the first chaieris in synagogis;
Wanapenda kukalia viti vya heshima katika karamu, na vile viti maalum sana katika masinagogi.
7 and salutaciouns in chepyng, and to be clepid of men maystir.
Hupenda kusalimiwa masokoni na kutaka watu wawaite ‘Rabi.’
8 But nyle ye be clepid maister; for oon is youre maystir, and alle ye ben britheren.
“Lakini ninyi msiitwe ‘Rabi,’ kwa sababu mnaye Bwana mmoja na ninyi nyote ni ndugu.
9 And nyle ye clepe to you a fadir on erthe, for oon is your fadir, that is in heuenes.
Nanyi msimwite mtu yeyote ‘Baba,’ hapa duniani, kwa maana mnaye Baba mmoja, naye yuko mbinguni.
10 Nether be ye clepid maistris, for oon is youre maister, Crist.
Wala msiitwe ‘Mwalimu,’ kwa maana mnaye mwalimu mmoja tu, ndiye Kristo.
11 He that is grettest among you, schal be youre mynystre.
Yeye aliye mkuu kuliko ninyi nyote miongoni mwenu atakuwa mtumishi wenu.
12 For he that hieth himself, schal be mekid; and he that mekith hym silf, schal be enhaunsid.
Kwa kuwa yeyote anayejikweza atashushwa, na yeyote anayejinyenyekeza atakwezwa.
13 But wo to you, scribis and Farisees, ipocritis, that closen the kyngdom of heuenes bifore men; and ye entren not, nether suffren men entrynge to entre.
“Lakini ole wenu, walimu wa sheria na Mafarisayo, enyi wanafiki! Kwa maana mnawafungia watu milango ya Ufalme wa Mbinguni. Ninyi wenyewe hamuingii humo, nao wale wanaotaka kuingia mnawazuia. [
14 Wo to you, scribis and Farisees, ipocritis, that eten the housis of widowis, and preien bi longe preier; for this thing ye schulen take more doom.
Ole wenu walimu wa sheria na Mafarisayo, enyi wanafiki! Mnakula katika nyumba za wajane, nanyi kwa kujifanya kuwa wema, mnasali sala ndefu. Kwa hiyo hukumu yenu itakuwa kuu zaidi.]
15 Wo to you, scribis and Farisees, ypocritis, that goon aboute the see and the loond, to make o prosilite; and whanne he is maad, ye maken hym a sone of helle, double more than ye ben. (Geenna g1067)
“Ole wenu walimu wa sheria na Mafarisayo, enyi wanafiki! Ninyi mnasafiri baharini na nchi kavu ili kumfanya mtu mmoja mwongofu, lakini baada ya kumpata, mnamfanya mwana wa jehanamu mara mbili kuliko ninyi! (Geenna g1067)
16 Wo to you, blynde lederis, that seien, Who euer swerith bi the temple of God, it is `no thing; but he that swerith in the gold of the temple, is dettoure.
“Ole wenu, viongozi vipofu! Ninyi mwasema, ‘Mtu akiapa kwa Hekalu, kiapo hicho si kitu; lakini mtu akiapa kwa dhahabu ya Hekalu, amefungwa kwa kiapo chake.’
17 Ye foolis and blynde, for what is grettere, the gold, or the temple that halewith the gold?
Ninyi vipofu wapumbavu! Ni kipi kilicho kikuu zaidi: ni ile dhahabu, au ni lile Hekalu linaloifanya hiyo dhahabu kuwa takatifu?
18 And who euer swerith in the auter, it is no thing; but he that swerith in the yifte that is on the auter, owith.
Pia mnasema, ‘Mtu akiapa kwa madhabahu, si kitu; lakini mtu akiapa kwa sadaka iliyo juu ya madhabahu, amefungwa kwa kiapo chake’
19 Blynde men, for what is more, the yifte, or the auter that halewith the yifte?
Ninyi vipofu! Ni kipi kikuu zaidi: ni sadaka, au ni madhabahu yanayoifanya hiyo sadaka kuwa takatifu?
20 Therfor he that swerith in the auter, swerith in it, and in alle thingis that ben ther on.
Kwa hiyo, mtu aapaye kwa madhabahu, huapa kwa hayo madhabahu na vitu vyote vilivyo juu yake.
21 And he that swerith in the temple, swerith in it, and in hym that dwellith in the temple.
Naye mtu aapaye kwa Hekalu, huapa kwa hilo Hekalu na kwa huyo akaaye ndani yake.
22 And he that swerith in heuene, swerith in the trone of God, and in hym that sittith ther on.
Naye aapaye kwa mbingu, huapa kwa kiti cha enzi cha Mungu na kwa yeye aketiye juu ya kiti hicho.
23 Wo to you, scribis and Farisees, ypocritis, that tithen mynte, anete, and cummyn, and han left tho thingis that ben of more charge of the lawe, doom, and merci, and feith. And it bihofte to do these thingis, and not to leeue tho.
“Ole wenu walimu wa sheria na Mafarisayo, ninyi wanafiki! Kwa maana mnatoa zaka ya mnanaa, bizari na jira, lakini mmeacha mambo makuu zaidi ya sheria, yaani haki, huruma na uaminifu. Iliwapasa kufanya haya makuu ya sheria bila kupuuza hayo matoleo.
24 Blynde lederis, clensinge a gnatte, but swolewynge a camel.
Ninyi viongozi vipofu, mnachuja kiroboto lakini mnameza ngamia!
25 Woo to you, scribis and Farisees, ypocritis, that clensen the cuppe and the plater with outforth; but with ynne ye ben ful of raueyne and vnclennesse.
“Ole wenu, walimu wa sheria na Mafarisayo, ninyi wanafiki! Kwa maana mnasafisha kikombe na sahani kwa nje, lakini ndani mmejaa unyangʼanyi na kutokuwa na kiasi.
26 Thou blynde Farisee, clense the cuppe and the plater with ynneforth, that that that is with outforth be maad clene.
Ewe Farisayo kipofu! Safisha ndani ya kikombe na sahani kwanza, ndipo nje itakuwa safi pia.
27 Wo to you, scribis and Farisees, ipocritis, that ben lijk to sepulcris whitid, whiche with outforth semen faire to men; but with ynne thei ben fulle of boonus of deed men, and of al filthe.
“Ole wenu, walimu wa sheria na Mafarisayo, ninyi wanafiki! Mnafanana na makaburi yaliyopakwa chokaa, ambayo yanapendeza kwa nje, lakini ndani yamejaa mifupa ya wafu na kila aina ya uchafu.
28 So ye with outforth semen iust to men; but with ynne ye ben ful of ypocrisy and wickidnesse.
Vivyo hivyo, kwa nje ninyi mnaonekana kwa watu kuwa wenye haki, lakini kwa ndani mmejaa unafiki na uovu.
29 Wo to you, scribis and Farisees, ipocritis, that bilden sepulcris of profetis, and maken faire the birielis of iust men,
“Ole wenu, walimu wa sheria na Mafarisayo, ninyi wanafiki! Mnajenga makaburi ya manabii na kuyapamba makaburi ya wenye haki.
30 and seien, If we hadden be in the daies of oure fadris, we schulden not haue be her felowis in the blood of prophetis.
Nanyi mwasema, ‘Kama tungaliishi wakati wa baba zetu, tusingalikuwa tumeshiriki katika kumwaga damu ya manabii!’
31 And so ye ben in witnessyng to you silf, that ye ben the sones of hem that slowen the prophetis.
Hivyo mnajishuhudia wenyewe kwamba ninyi ni wana wa wale waliowaua manabii.
32 And fulfille ye the mesure of youre fadris.
Haya basi, kijazeni kipimo cha dhambi ya baba zenu!
“Ninyi nyoka, ninyi uzao wa nyoka wenye sumu! Mtaiepukaje hukumu ya jehanamu? (Geenna g1067)
34 Therfor lo! Y sende to you profetis, and wise men, and scribis; and of hem ye schulen sle and crucifie, and of hem ye schulen scourge in youre sinagogis, and schulen pursue fro cite in to citee;
Kwa sababu hii, tazameni, natuma kwenu manabii na wenye hekima na walimu. Baadhi yao mtawaua na kuwasulubisha, na wengine wao mtawapiga mijeledi katika masinagogi yenu na kuwafuatia kutoka mji mmoja hadi mji mwingine.
35 that al the iust blood come on you, that was sched on the erthe, fro the blood of iust Abel to the blood of Zacarie, the sone of Barachie, whom ye slowen bitwixe the temple and the auter.
Hivyo ile damu ya wenye haki wote iliyomwagwa hapa duniani, tangu damu ya Abeli, ambaye alikuwa hana hatia, hadi damu ya Zekaria mwana wa Barakia, mliyemuua kati ya patakatifu na madhabahu, itawajia juu yenu.
36 Treuli Y seie to you, alle these thingis schulen come on this generacioun.
Amin, nawaambia, haya yote yatakuja juu ya kizazi hiki.
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that sleest prophetis, and stoonest hem that ben sent to thee, hou ofte wolde Y gadere togidere thi children, as an henne gaderith togidir her chikenes vndir hir wengis, and thou woldist not.
“Ee Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, uwauaye manabii na kuwapiga mawe wale waliotumwa kwako! Mara ngapi nimetamani kuwakusanya watoto wako pamoja, kama vile kuku akusanyavyo vifaranga wake chini ya mabawa yake, lakini hukutaka!
38 Lo! youre hous schal be left to you desert.
Tazama nyumba yenu imeachwa ukiwa.
39 And Y seie to you, ye schulen not se me fro hennus forth, til ye seien, Blessid is he, that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Kwa maana nawaambia, hamtaniona tena tangu sasa mpaka mtakaposema, ‘Amebarikiwa yeye ajaye kwa Jina la Bwana.’”
