Mathayo 23
1 Mbe niwo Yesu naika na liijo na bhweigisibhwa bhae naika ati,
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
2 “Abhandiki na Bhafalisayo bheyanjie echitebhe cha Musa.
saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have set themselves down in Moses' seat:
3 Mbe emisango jone jinu abhabhabhwila mujikole nokujigwata. Nawe mutakukolaga lwakutyo abhene abhakola, kubha okwaika abhaika nawe bhatakukola.
all things therefore, whatever they may tell you, do and keep. But do not after their works, for they say and do not,
4 Nchimali, abhobhoya migugu misito jinu jitakwitwikwa, nibhajitwikya abhanu kumabhega. Nawe abhene bhatakwenda kujinamusha na Chala chebhwe.
but bind burdens heavy and hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of men, but will not move them with their finger.
5 Ebhikolwa bhwebhye bhyona, abhabhikola abhanu bhabhilole. Okubha abhagaliya amasandikwa gebhwe no kwongesha obhunene bhwe bhifwalo.
And all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders [of their garments],
6 Ka abhenda obhwinyanjo bhwa imbele kumalya na kubhitebhe bhye chibhalo mu mekofyanyisho.
and love the chief place in feasts and the first seats in the synagogues,
7 No kukesibhwa mumagulilo, no kutogwa na bhanu ati “Labhi” (bheigisha).
and salutations in the market-places, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 Nawe emwe mutatogwa “bheigisha”. Okubha omwiigisha wemwe ni umwi. Na nemwe bhona muli bhanda imwi.
But ye, be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor, and all ye are brethren.
9 Mwasiga kumutoga munu wona wona ku chalo ati esomwana, okubha munage esomwana umwila, niwe ali mulwile.
And call not [any one] your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens.
10 Nawe mwasiga kutogwa “Bheigisha” Okubha munage Mwiigisha umwila niwe Kristo.
Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ.
11 Tali unu ali mukulu agati yemwe abhe mukosi wemwe.
But the greatest of you shall be your servant.
12 Wona wona unu kekusha alikeibhwa. Na unu wona kekeya alikisibhwa.
And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13 Nawe jilibhabhona abhandiki na Mafarisayo, bhalulimi omubhegalila abhanu Obhukama bhwa mulwile. Ka nemwe mutakwingila, Ka mutakubhekilisha abho abhengila abhengila okukola kutyo.
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for ye do not enter, nor do ye suffer those that are entering to go in.
14 (Komelesha: olugobho olwa 14 lutakubhonekana mu maandiko ga kisi aga kala. Agandi aga maandiko jongesishe olungobho lunu 12. olugobho lwa 14 “jilibhabhona abhandiki na bhafarisayo bhalulimi! Okubha omubhamila abhatumbagasi”).
15 Nawe jilibhabhona abhandiki na bhafarisayo, bhalulimi! omwambuka ku chalo na munyanja kukinga okumuchusha omunu umwi ekilishe ganu omwiigisha, akamala okubha lwemwe nimumukola lwa kabhili kubha mwana wa mumulilo gunyatasima lwemwe abhene kutyo muli. (Geenna g1067)
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye compass the sea and the dry [land] to make one proselyte, and when he is become [such], ye make him twofold more [the] son of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 Jilibhabhona emwe abhatangasha bhaofu, bhanu omwaika ati, omunu wona unu alalailaga mu iyekalu, Iyekalu chitali chinu. Nawe unu alalailaga ku ijaabhu ya Muyekalu abhoyelwe na libhaja lyaye.
Woe to you, blind guides, who 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 Emwe bhaofu na abhatamu-tamu okubha echikulu ni chiya, Ijaabhu Angu Iyekalu linu liteyemo echogo ijaabhu ku Nyamuanga?
Fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple which sanctifies the gold?
18 Lindi, wone wone unu kalailila kuchoto Cho okugabhilila chitali chinu, nawe unu kalailila echiyanwa chinu chili ingulu yaye, abhoyelwe na libhanja lyaye.
And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor.
19 Emwe abhanu abhaofu, echikulu ni chiya kuchindi, echiyanwa tele echoto echo echitao okwesha ebhiyanwa bhinu ebhisosibhwa ku Nyamuanga?
[Fools and] blind ones, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift?
20 Nawe unu kalaila ku choto kalaila kwicho na kubhinu bhyone bhinu bhili ingulu yacho.
He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it.
21 Na unu kalaila ku Iyekalu, kalaila kwilyo na kumwene unu aikayemo.
And he that swears by the temple swears by it and by him that dwells in it.
22 Na unu kalaila kulwile, kalaila ku chitebhe cho bhutelo echa Nyamuanga no mwene unu enyanjile ingulu yacho.
And he that swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him that sits upon it.
23 Jilibhabhona, emwe abhandiki na abhafarisayo, bhalulimi! Kulwo kubha omusosha omugabho gwa likumi gwe bhilungo, Mnaanaa no muchicha, nawe mwasigile emisango emikulu ejebhilagilo, ejo kulema okwitililanya, nechigongo no kwikilisha. Nawe bhinu bhiile okubhikola na mutasiga agandi mutagakumisishe.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cummin, and ye have left aside the weightier matters of the law, judgment and mercy and faith: these ye ought to have done and not have left those aside.
24 Emwe bhatangasha bhaofu, omusekesha akasami nawe nimumila ingamia!
Blind guides, who strain out the gnat, but drink down the camel.
25 Jilibhabhona, emwe abhandiki na bhafarisayo, bhalulimi! okubha omwosha anja ye bhikombe na anja ya isaani, kenu Munda bhijuye obhusakusi no kulema okwibhalilila.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of rapine and intemperance.
26 Emwe Mafarisayo abhaofu tangata okwamba mwoshe Munda ye bhikombe na Munda isaani koleleki anja one bhibhe bhelu.
Blind Pharisee, make clean first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that their outside also may become clean.
27 Jilibhabhona abhene, abhandik na abhfarisayo, bhalumi! okubha omususana ne ebhitulo bhinu bhipambilwe ichokaa, anja yabyo ebhibhonekana bhikondele nawe, Munda bhijuye amawa gabhafuye bhuli chinu chili chijabhi.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are like whited sepulchres, which appear beautiful outwardly, but within are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.
28 Niko kutyo, emwe one ingulu omubhonekana ati muli bhalengelesi ku bhanu, nawe Munda mwijuye olulimi no bhwikoti. jibhabhona emwe, abhandiki na Bhafarisayo,
Thus also ye, outwardly ye appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 bhalulimi! okubha omumbaka ebhitulo bhya bhalangi nimuchuma ebhitulo bhya bhalengelesi.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets and adorn the tombs of the just,
30 Emwe omwaika ati, chibha chikaye musiku jabhajaji weswe, chitakabhee chisangie amwi nabho okwitila jisagama ja Bhalangi.
and ye 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 Nikwo kutyo omwibhula abhene ati emwe mulibhana bhabhanu bhetilwe abhalangi.
So that ye bear witness of yourselves that ye are sons of those who slew the prophets:
32 Mbe emwe one omwikuisha okwijusha idengo inu iile echikayo chabhesomwana.
and ye, fill ye up the measure of your fathers.
33 Emwe jinjoka, abhana bhajimili, muliluka kutiki intambala ya indamu ya omulilo gunu gutalisima? (Geenna g1067)
Serpents, offspring of vipers, how should ye escape the judgment of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Lola nikwo, enikola, nibatumila Abhalangi, abhanu abho bhwengeso na bhandiki. abhandi mwabho omubheta no kubhabhamba abhandi mwabho mulibhabhuma Munda ya mekofyanyisho gemwe no kubhabhamba okusoka mumusi gumwi okuja mugundi.
Therefore, 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 will persecute from city to city;
35 Chinu chililubhila ingulu yemwe mwijilwe amanyinga gone agabhalengelesi ganu getikile kuchalo, okwambila isagama ya Abeli omulengilesi okukinga kusangama ya Jakalia omwana wa Balanki a unu mwetie agati yaiyekalu nechoto chokugabhilila.
so that all righteous blood shed upon the earth should come upon you, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Nichimali enibhabhwila ati amagambo ganu gone agalubhona olwibhulo lunu.
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 Yelusalemu, Yelusalemu, awe unu owitinga Abhalangi no kubhalasa na mabhui bhalia abhatumwa kwawe! nikwia kalinga enibhakumanya abhana bhao amwi lwain'goko eikumanya obhana Koko emwalo ya mabhabha gayo, nawe atekilisishe!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [the city] that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Lola, inyumba yao yasigala elugu.
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate;
39 Lola enikubhwila ati, okwambila oli nokugendelela utalisubha kundola okukinga lunu ulyaika, analibhando unu alija kwisina lya Latabhugenyi.”
for I say unto you, Ye shall in no wise see me henceforth until ye say, Blessed [be] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord.
