Mattiyu 23
1 Sa’an nan Yesu ya ce wa taron mutane da kuma almajiransa,
Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
2 “Malaman dokoki da Farisiyawa suke zama a kujerar Musa.
saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
3 Saboda haka dole ku yi musu biyayya, ku kuma yi duk abin da suka faɗa muku. Sai dai kada ku yi abin da suke yi, gama ba sa yin abin da suke wa’azi.
All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but do not do their works; for they say, and do not do.
4 Sukan ɗaura kaya masu nauyi, su sa wa mutane a kafaɗa. Amma su kansu, ba sa ko sa yatsa su taimaka.
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.
5 “Kome suke yi, suna yi ne don mutane su gani. Sukan yi layunsufantam-fantam bakin rigunarsu kuma sukan kai har ƙasa;
But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
6 suna son wurin zaman manya a wurin biki, da kuma wuraren zama gaba-gaba a majami’u;
and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
7 suna so a yi ta gaisuwarsu a kasuwa, ana kuma riƙa ce musu, ‘Rabbi.’
the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
8 “Amma kada a kira ku ‘Rabbi,’ gama kuna da Maigida ɗaya ne, ku duka kuwa,’yan’uwa ne.
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
9 Kada kuma ku kira wani a duniya ‘uba,’ gama kuna da Uba ɗaya ne, yana kuwa a sama.
Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
10 Ba kuwa za a kira ku ‘malam’ ba, gama kuna da Malami ɗaya ne, Kiristi.
Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
11 Mafi girma a cikinku, zai zama bawanku.
But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
12 Gama duk wanda ya ɗaukaka kansa, za a ƙasƙantar da shi, duk kuma wanda ya ƙasƙantar da kansa, za a ɗaukaka shi.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 “Kaitonku, malaman dokoki da Farisiyawa, ku munafukai! Kun rufe ƙofar mulkin sama a gaban mutane. Ku kanku ba ku shiga ba, ba kuwa bar waɗanda suke ƙoƙarin shiga su shiga ba.
“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.
“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you do not enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
15 “Kaitonku, malaman dokoki da Farisiyawa, munafukai! Kukan yi tafiye-tafiye zuwa ƙasashe, ku ƙetare teku don ku sami mai tuba ɗaya, sa’ad da ya tuba kuwa, sai ku mai da shi ɗan wuta fiye da ku, har sau biyu. (Geenna g1067)
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 Gehenna (Geenna g1067) as yourselves.
16 “Kaitonku, makafi jagora! Kukan ce, ‘In wani ya rantse da haikali, ba damuwa; amma in ya rantse da zinariyar haikali, sai rantsuwar ta kama shi.’
“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.’
17 Wawaye makafi! Wanne ya fi girma, zinariyar, ko haikalin da yake tsarkake zinariyar?
You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18 Kukan kuma ce, ‘In wani ya rantse da bagade, ba damuwa; amma in ya rantse da bayarwar da take bisansa, sai rantsuwar ta kama shi.’
And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
19 Makafi kawai! Wanne ya fi girma, bayarwar, ko kuwa bagaden da yake tsarkake bayarwar?
You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20 Saboda haka, duk wanda ya rantse da bagade, ya rantse ne da bagaden tare da abin da yake bisansa.
He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
21 Kuma duk wanda ya rantse da haikali, ya rantse ne da shi da kuma wanda yake zaune a cikinsa.
He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
22 Duk kuma wanda ya rantse da sama, ya rantse ne da kursiyin Allah da kuma wanda yake zaune a kansa.
He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
23 “Kaitonku, malaman dokoki da Farisiyawa, munafukai! Kukan ba da kashi ɗaya bisa goma na kayan yajinku, na’ana’a, anise, da lafsur. Amma kun ƙyale abubuwan da suka fi girma na dokoki, adalci, jinƙai da aminci. Waɗannan ne ya kamata da kun kiyaye ba tare da kun ƙyale sauran ba.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
24 Makafi jagora! Kukan tace ƙwaro ɗan mitsil amma sai ku haɗiye raƙumi.
You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
25 “Kaitonku, malaman dokoki da Farisiyawa, munafukai! Kukan wanke bayan kwaf da kwano, amma a ciki, cike suke da zalunci da sonkai.
“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.
26 Kai makaho Bafarisiye! Ka fara wanke cikin kwaf da kwano, sa’an nan bayan ma zai zama da tsabta.
You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
27 “Kaitonku, malaman dokoki da Farisiyawa, munafukai! Kuna kama da kaburburan da aka shafa musu farin fenti, waɗanda suna da kyan gani a waje, amma a ciki, cike suke da ƙasusuwan matattu da kuma kowane irin abu mai ƙazanta.
“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.
28 Haka ku ma, a waje, a idon mutane, ku masu adalci ne, amma a ciki, cike kuke da munafunci da mugunta.
Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 “Kaitonku, malaman dokoki da Farisiyawa, munafukai! Kukan gina kaburbura don annabawa, ku kuma yi wa kaburburan mutane masu adalci ado.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
30 Kuna cewa, ‘Da mun kasance a zamanin kakanninmu, ai, da ba mu haɗa hannu da su muka karkashe annabawa ba.’
and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
31 Ta haka kuna ba da shaida a kanku cewa ku zuriyar waɗanda suka karkashe annabawa ne.
Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
32 To, sai ku ci gaba ku cikasa ayyukan da kakanninku suka fara!
Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna (Geenna g1067)?
34 Saboda haka ina aika muku da annabawa, da masu hikima da malamai. Waɗansunsu za ku kashe ku kuma gicciye; waɗansu kuma za ku yi musu bulala a majami’unku kuna kuma binsu gari-gari.
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,
35 Ta haka alhakin jinin masu adalcin da aka zubar a duniya, tun daga jinin Habila mai adalci, zuwa jinin Zakariya ɗan Berekiya, wanda kuka kashe tsakanin haikali da bagade zai koma kanku.
that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
36 Gaskiya nake gaya muku, duk wannan zai auko wa wannan zamani.
Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37 “Urushalima, ayya Urushalima, ke da kike kashe annabawa, kike kuma jifan waɗanda aka aiko gare ki, sau da sau na so in tattara’ya’yanki wuri ɗaya, yadda kaza takan tattara’ya’yanta cikin fikafikanta, amma kuka ƙi.
“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!
38 Ga shi, an bar muku gidanku a yashe.
Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
39 Gama ina gaya muku, ba za ku sāke ganina ba sai kun ce, ‘Mai albarka ne wanda yake zuwa cikin sunan Ubangiji.’”
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!’”
