Matio 23
1 Li yaa puoli Jesu den maadi leni ku niligu leni o hoadikaaba ki yedi:
THEN Jesus spake to the multitudes and to his disciples,
2 Li balimaama bangikaaba leni Falisieninba pia li bali ki bangi Musa n den soagini yaa balimaama.
saying, The scribes and Pharisees are seated on the chair of Moses;
3 Lanwani yin yaa tuodi ki tiendi ban yedi yi yaala kuli. Ama yin da tuuni ki togidi bi bontienkaala, kelima bi maadi ki naa tiendi.
all things therefore which they prescribe for you to observe, observe and practise; but do not according to their works, for they say, yet do not practise.
4 Bi luo a tugikpiaga ki tungi bi niba ki naa bua ki sii baa leni bi nubili.
For they bind burdens grievous, and difficultly borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they will not move them with a finger of their own.
5 Bi tiendi bi bontienkaala kuli ke bi niba n la. Yeni yaa po yo ke bi yabindi bi bonyilikaala, ki go foagidi bi liadicuadi.
And all their works they do to be seen of men: they make their phylacteries broad, and deepen the fringes of their garments,
6 Bi ya gedi mi jecianma kani bi lingi ki kali yaa kaani n gagidi, ki go bua ki ya ka i niciankali-kaani li balimaama bangima diena nni.
and love the principal couch at suppers, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 Bi bua bi niba n ya fuondi ki kpiagidi ba mu daamu nni, ki go yaa yi ba canba.
and salutations in the places of public concourse, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 Ama yinba, yin da cedi ban ya yi yi: Canba. Kelima yendo bebe n tie yi canba, yikuli mo tie kpiiba leni yaba.
But be not ye called Rabbi, for one is your leader, the Messiah; and ye all are brethren.
9 Yin da yini oba ki tinga nni yi baa, kelima yendo bebe n tie yi Baa, wani yua n ye tanpoli.
And call no man your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven.
10 Yin da cedi ban yaa yi yi: Cabaanciamo, kelima yendo bebe n tie yi cabaanciamo, lani n tie U Tienu n Gandi Yua.
And be not called leaders; for one is your leader, the Messiah.
11 Yi siiga nni yua n tugi li yuli baa tie yi naacemo.
But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 Yua n fiini o yuli kuli, U Tienu baa jiini o, yua n jiini o yuli mo kuli, U Tienu baa fiini o.
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and whosoever abaseth himself shall be exalted.
13 Fala baa ye leni yi, yinba li balimaama bangikaaba leni Falisieninba pala lie danba, kelima yi luoni tanpoli diema kuama nitoaba po. yii kua yiba, yaaba n bua ki kua mo, yi kan cedi ban kua.
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut up the kingdom of heaven from men; for ye yourselves enter not in, and those who were coming in, ye suffer not to enter.
14 Fala baa ye leni yi, yinba li balimaama bangikaaba leni Falisieninba pala lie danba, kelima yi fieni a kpepuona diema ki nan jaandi i jaandifoagi ki kpali ke yi tie jajaandimoana. Li tie lani yaa po, yi yaa buudi cuonu baa bia ki cie.
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: wherefore ye shall receive greater condemnation.
15 Fala baa ye leni yi, yinba li balimaama bangikaaba leni Falisieninba pala lie danba, kelima yi duodi mi ñincianma ki gaandi ki tinga ki bua ki ban baa baa niyendo wan tua yi hoadikoa. Ama o ya tua yi hoadikoa yeni, yi yen teni wan tua ku fantanbuogu yua ki yaa ji bia ki cie yi taalima lie. (Geenna g1067)
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is gained, ye make him doubly more the child of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 Fala baa ye leni yi, a gobidika-juama na, yinba yaaba n yedi: Yua n poli leni U Tienu diegu, li kan cuo o, ama yua n poli leni U Tienu diegu nni yaa wula, li baa cuo o. Bi yanluodanba leni a juama ne, li leepo n cie liyali, wula yeni bi U Tienu diegu nni yaa wula, li baa cuo o.
Wo unto you ye blind guides! who say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, it is binding.
17 Bi yanluodanba leni a juama ne, li leepo n cie liyala, wula yeni bi U Tienu diegu yaala n gagidi ki hanbi laa wula yo?
Ye fools and blind! for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple which consecrates the gold?
18 Yi go yedi ke o nilo ya poli leni li padibinbinli, li kan cuo o, ama yua n poli yaa padili n ye li padibinbinli po, li baa cuo o.
And again, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, it is binding.
19 Yinba, a juama ne, li leepo n cie li yali, li padili yeni bi li padibinbinli yaali n gagidi ki hanbi li padile?
Ye fools and blind! which is the greater, the gift, or the altar which consecrates the gift?
20 Yua n poli leni li padibinbinli poli leni lini, leni yaala n maa lipo kuli.
Whosoever therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things that are upon it.
21 Yua n poli leni U Tienu diegu poli leni lini, leni wani U Tienu yua n ye li niinni.
And whosoever sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him also who dwelleth in it.
22 Yua n poli leni tanpoli, poli leni U Tienu bali kalikaanu leni wani U Tienu yua n ka upo kuli.
So he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him who is seated upon it.
23 Fala baa ye leni yinba li balimaama bangikaaba leni Falisieninba pala lie danba, kelima yi coadi yaa kpinfaadi n yi mendi leni anedi leni kumini ki ñandi li dim, ama yi fali li balimaama nni yaala n pia mayuli ki cie, lani n tie ki ya tiendi yaala n tiegi, ki ya gba mi nihima, ki ya go tie nidugikaaba mo. Lani n tie yin bi pundi ki ya tiendi yaala, ki nan da cedi yaala n sieni mo.
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithes of mint, and anise, and cummin, and have neglected the weightier precepts of the law, judgment, and mercy, and fidelity: these thing ought ye to have done, and not to leave the others undone.
24 Yinba a gibidika-juama ne, yi gaadi ki ñandi ki siiga, ki nan nali ku yuoyuogu.
Ye blind guides! who strain out a gnat, but gulp down a camel.
25 Fala baa ye leni yinba li balimaama bangikaaba leni Falisieninba pala lie danba, kelima yi yen huudi ki tadiñokaaga leni ki taditialiga puoli po, ke mu tugu nni nan gbie leni yin fenli yaala yi bonbuaka-biadila po.
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and of the dish, but within they are full of rapacity and intemperance.
26 Fini o Falisieni-juamo, kpa hanbi yaala n ye ki tadiñokaaga leni ki taditialiga tugu nni, lanwani mu puoli po moko baa hani.
Thou blind Pharisee! cleanse first the inside of the cup and dish, that their outside may become clean also.
27 Fala baa ye leni yinba li balimaama bangikaaba leni Falisieninba pala lie danba, kelima yi tie nani ban pendi yaa kakula ke a hani boncianla bi niba nuni po, ama ke a tugu nni nan gbie a tinkpikpaba leni joagindi buoli kuli.
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye resemble tombs whitewashed, which outwardly indeed appear specious, but within are full of dead men’s bones, and all manner of impurity.
28 Yi moko tie yeni, bi niba nuni po yi hani, ama yi pala nni gbie leni i boandi leni mi biadima.
And just so, ye without indeed appear to men righteous, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Fala baa ye leni leni yinba li balimaama bangikaaba leni Falisieninba pala lie danba, kelima yi maa bi sawalipuaba po yaa kakula n hani,
Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the sepulchres of the just,
30 ki hanbidi bi niteginkaaba mo yaa kakula, ki nan yedi: Ti ya den ye ti yaajanba n den ye yaa yogunu, ti kan den taani leni ba ki kpa bi sawapualiba ki wuli bi soama.
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.
31 Yi tiendi yi yula po seedi ke yi tie yaaba n den kpa bi sawalipuaba.
Wherefore ye bear a testimony to yourselves, that ye are the children of those who killed the prophets.
32 Lanwani, suagi mani ki dudi yi yaajanba n den cili ki tiendi yaala.
Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Yinba, i we, u waalabibuolu ne, yi baa tieni lede ki sani ki faabi leni ku fantanbuogu cuonu? (Geenna g1067)
Ye serpents, ye broods of vipers! how can ye escape from the damnation of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Li tie lani yaa po ke n tuuni yipo bi sawalipuaba, bi yanfodanba leni U Tienu laabaalihamo wangikaaba. Yi baa kpa bine, ki joani bine a dapoanpoana po, ki pua bine i baliji li balimaama bangima diena nni, ki yaa hoa ki wangi bine fala ban kua ya dogu nni kuli,
Therefore, behold, I am sending to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some of them ye shall kill, and crucify; and some of them ye shall scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
35 ke yaaba n ki den pia tagili soama yaama n den wuli ki tinga nni kuli, ki cili o niteginkoa Abela soama, ki pundi hali Belekia bijua Sakali yaa soama yin den kpa yua U Tienu diegu nni u kaangagidihamu leni li padibinbinli siiga yeni kuli baa jiidi yi yaa yula po.
that upon you may come all the righteous blood which hath been poured out upon the earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel, to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 N kadi ki waani yi ke lani kuli baa jiidi moala niba yula.
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come on this generation.
37 Jelusalema, Jelusalema, fini yua n kpa bi sawalipuaba, ki lugidi U Tienu n tuuni a kani yaaba a tana ki kpaani ba, taalima ha yo ke n den bua ki gobidi ki taani a bila nani o kooñua n yen hoagini o koobila o fiabi nni maama, ama a naa den bua.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest those who were sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children to me, as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not?
38 Lanwani bi baa yi a diegu diegbengu.
Behold, your habitation is left unto you desolate.
39 N waani yinba Jelusalema yaaba, yi kan go la nni hali yin baa ti maadi n maama yaa yogunu ki yedi: U Tienu n seligi yua n kpendi wani o Diedo yeli nni.
For I tell you, Ye shall henceforth no more see me, until ye say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
