Matio 23
1 Li yaa puoli Jesu den maadi leni ku niligu leni o hoadikaaba ki yedi:
Then spake Jesus 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 the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat:
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 whatsoever they bid you, [these] do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.
4 Bi luo a tugikpiaga ki tungi bi niba ki naa bua ki sii baa leni bi nubili.
Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
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.
But all their works they do for to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders [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 chief place at feasts, 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 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, 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 teacher, and all ye 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 on the earth: for one is your Father, which 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.
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, [even] the Christ.
11 Yi siiga nni yua n tugi li yuli baa tie yi naacemo.
But he that 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.
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble 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.
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in 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.
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)
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son 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.
Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.
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 whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified 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, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor.
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 blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Yua n poli leni li padibinbinli poli leni lini, leni yaala n maa lipo kuli.
He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 Yua n poli leni U Tienu diegu poli leni lini, leni wani U Tienu yua n ye li niinni.
And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 Yua n poli leni tanpoli, poli leni U Tienu bali kalikaanu leni wani U Tienu yua n ka upo kuli.
And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
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.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.
24 Yinba a gibidika-juama ne, yi gaadi ki ñandi ki siiga, ki nan nali ku yuoyuogu.
Ye blind guides, which strain out the gnat, and swallow the 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.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess.
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 of the platter, that the outside thereof 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.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Yi moko tie yeni, bi niba nuni po yi hani, ama yi pala nni gbie leni i boandi leni mi biadima.
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly 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,
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and garnish the tombs of the righteous,
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 should 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 witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew 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 offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment 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 send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye 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 shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary 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 upon 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, which killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Lanwani bi baa yi a diegu diegbengu.
Behold, your house 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 say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
