Mattiyu 23
1 Sa’an nan Yesu ya ce wa taron mutane da kuma almajiransa,
Then spake Jesus to the people and to his disciples, saying,
2 “Malaman dokoki da Farisiyawa suke zama a kujerar Musa.
The scribes and pharisees sit in the seat of Moses:
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.
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:
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 grievous and intolerable burthens, and impose them upon men; but they themselves will not put a finger to 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 uppermost places at feasts,
7 suna so a yi ta gaisuwarsu a kasuwa, ana kuma riƙa ce musu, ‘Rabbi.’
and the chief seats in the synagogues, and salutations in public assemblies, and to be called by men Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 “Amma kada a kira ku ‘Rabbi,’ gama kuna da Maigida ɗaya ne, ku duka kuwa,’yan’uwa ne.
But be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor even Christ, and ye are all brethren.
9 Kada kuma ku kira wani a duniya ‘uba,’ gama kuna da Uba ɗaya ne, yana kuwa a sama.
Neither call any man upon earth Father; for one is your Father, who is in heaven:
10 Ba kuwa za a kira ku ‘malam’ ba, gama kuna da Malami ɗaya ne, Kiristi.
neither be ye called masters; for one is your master, even Christ.
11 Mafi girma a cikinku, zai zama bawanku.
But let him that is greatest among you be your minister: and whosoever will exalt himself shall be abased,
12 Gama duk wanda ya ɗaukaka kansa, za a ƙasƙantar da shi, duk kuma wanda ya ƙasƙantar da kansa, za a ɗaukaka shi.
and whosoever will humble himself shall 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.
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.
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 “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)
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)
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.’
Wo unto you, ye blind guides, who say, If any one swear by the temple, it is nothing;
17 Wawaye makafi! Wanne ya fi girma, zinariyar, ko haikalin da yake tsarkake zinariyar?
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?
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, If any one swear by the altar, it is nothing; but if any one swear by the gift upon it, he is bound.
19 Makafi kawai! Wanne ya fi girma, bayarwar, ko kuwa bagaden da yake tsarkake bayarwar?
O foolish and blind! for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifieth the gift?
20 Saboda haka, duk wanda ya rantse da bagade, ya rantse ne da bagaden tare da abin da yake bisansa.
He then, that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it and by all things upon it:
21 Kuma duk wanda ya rantse da haikali, ya rantse ne da shi da kuma wanda yake zaune a cikinsa.
and he, that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by Him that dwelleth in it:
22 Duk kuma wanda ya rantse da sama, ya rantse ne da kursiyin Allah da kuma wanda yake zaune a kansa.
and he, that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by Him that sitteth upon 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.
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.
24 Makafi jagora! Kukan tace ƙwaro ɗan mitsil amma sai ku haɗiye raƙumi.
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.
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:
26 Kai makaho Bafarisiye! Ka fara wanke cikin kwaf da kwano, sa’an nan bayan ma zai zama da tsabta.
thou blind pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside of them may be also clean.
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.
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;
28 Haka ku ma, a waje, a idon mutane, ku masu adalci ne, amma a ciki, cike kuke da munafunci da mugunta.
so do ye likewise outwardly appear to men to be righteous, but within 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.
Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; who build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the just,
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 been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been concerned with them in shedding the blood of the prophets:
31 Ta haka kuna ba da shaida a kanku cewa ku zuriyar waɗanda suka karkashe annabawa ne.
so that ye are witnesses yourselves, that ye are the 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, ye serpents, ye brood of vipers:
how can ye escape the damnation of hell? (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.
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:
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 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.
36 Gaskiya nake gaya muku, duk wannan zai auko wa wannan zamani.
Verily I tell you, all these things shall 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.
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!
38 Ga shi, an bar muku gidanku a yashe.
Behold your house shall be left 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, ye shall not see me after this, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
