Matei 23
1 Kungai a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje bhandunji bhagumbelenje na bhaajiganywa bhabho, bhalinkuti.
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
2 Bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo bhashipegwanga ukulungwa gwa shitengu sha a Musha.
saying, "Upon the seat of Moses the Pharisees and scribes sit.
3 Kwa nneyo nkamulanje na tenda shoshowe shishibhannugulilanje. Ikabheje nnakaguyanje itendi yabhonji, pabha bhakaatendanga malinga shibhaajiganyanga.
All which they will say unto you, observe and do; but their works do not do, because they say, and do not do.
4 Bhanatabhanga mishigo ja topa nikwaatwikanga bhandunji mmakoyo, ikabheje ashaayenenji bhakapinganga kujangutila nkali kwa lukowe.
For they bind heavy and hard to bear burdens, and lay them on people's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
5 Bhanatendanga itendi yabhonji nkupinga bhalolwanje na bhandunji. Bhanawalanga mabhadili gamakulungwa pa shenyi na mmakono gajandikwe Shalia na leupya mbundo ya pai ya nngubho yabhonji.
But all their works they do to be seen by others. They make their tefillin broad and enlarge the fringe of their garments,
6 Bhanaapinganga tama mwiitengu ya mmujo nkalamu na mmashinagogi.
and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
7 Bhanapinganga kukomaywa kwa jogopekwa kushoko na bhanapinganga shemwa na bhandunji, Bhaajiganya.
the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi' by people.
8 Ikabheje mmanganyanji nnashemwanje, Bhaajiganya, pabha bhaajiganya bhenunji bhamope, na mmanganya mmowe malinga bhandu bha lutumbo lumo.
But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your Teacher, and all of you are brothers.
9 Wala nnanshemanje mundu jojowe, Atati, pa shilambolyo, pabha Ainabhenunji bhamope, bhali kunnungu.
Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
10 Wala nnashemwanje, Ashikalongolele, pabha kalongolele jwenunji jumope, ni a Kilishitu.
Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
11 Ali jwankulungwa munkumbi gwenunji anapinjikwa abhe ntumishi jwenunji.
But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
12 Jojowe akwiikuya apinga nyegaywa, na akwiinyegaya apinga kuywa.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Pabha nnakwaugalilanga bhandunji nnango gwa Upalume gwa Kunnungu, mwaashayenenji nkajinjilanga, na wala bhapinganga jinjila bhala nkakwaalekanga bhajinjilangane.
"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you devour the houses of widows, and for show make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
14 Ole gwenunji mmaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo bhagulumba! Pabha nnapokonyolanga nyumba ya bhashitenga na nnajuganga Nnungu kwa leupya, nkupinga mmonekananje kubhandu kuti mmambonenji, kwa nneyo shinng'ukumulwanje kupunda bhananji.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you shut up the kingdom of heaven in front of people; for you do not enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
15 Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Nnaowanga mmashi na pa litaka nkupinga mumpatanje mundu shakagule dini jenunji. Mumpatangaga, nnakuntendanga mwana jwa ku Jeanamu pabhili kupunda mwaashayenenji. (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 of a son of hell as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 Ole gwenunji ashikalongolele nangalole! Mmanganya nkutinji mundu alumbilaga kwa lina lya liekalu, kwene kulumbilako nngabha shindu, ikabheje alumbilaga kwa shaabhu ili nniekalu, kwene lumbilako kunakuntabha.
"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 Mmanganya ashikalongolele bhangumba! Shei shipundile, shaabhu eu liekalu litenda jene shaabhujo jibhe ja ukonjelo?
You blind fools. For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctified the gold?
18 Kabhili nnkutinji kuti mundu alumbilaga kwa shitala nngabha shindu, ikabheje alumbilaga kwa mbepei ibhishilwe pa shitala, kwene lumbilako kunakuntabha.
'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'
19 Mmanganya ashinangalole! Shei shipundile, upo ila, eu shitala shitenda mbepeiyo ibhe ya ukonjelo?
You blind people. For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20 Alumbila kwa shitala analumbila kwa shitala, na kwa indu yowe ili pa shitala.
He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
21 Na alumbila ku liekalu ashilumbila ku liekalu na kwa bhatama nkati bhala.
He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
22 Na alumbila kunnungu ashilumbila ku shitengu sha Upalume gwa a Nnungu, na bhaatama panani jakwe.
He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
23 Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Nnashoyanga lipungu lya kumi, nkali maamba ga mmboga, bhishali na tindi, akuno nnilekanga indu ya mana ya Shalia malinga, aki na shiya na ngulupai. Genega gumpinjilwenje kugabhika mmitima gwangali kulibhala gana.
"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 Ashikalongolele nangalole! Nnashoyanga libhembe, ikabheje nimila ngamia, nnyama jwankulungwa.
You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 “Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Mmanganya nninginji malinga mundu aukanga ikombe na bhakuli kua, ikabheje nkati mugumbele indu impatilenje kwa pokonyola na shojo.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but within they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.
26 Mmwe a Palishayo nangalole! Nng'ukanje oti shikombe nkati na kua shikukonje.
You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and the plate, so that the outside may become clean also.
27 “Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Puninginji mbuti likabhuli lipashilwe shokaa, kwa palanga linabhoneka kukonja, ikabheje nkati kushigumbala maupa ga bhawilenje na ikoko yaigwinji.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead people's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Nneyo peyo mmanganya nnabhonekanga na bhandunji mbuti nkwetenje aki, ikabheje nkati nshigumbalanga ugulumba na ungamanyika.
Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to people, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 “Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Nnashenjelanga makabhuli ga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu na konjeleya makabhuli ga bhandunji bhakwetenje aki.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
30 Nnikutinji, ‘Monaga uwe tukapali bhukala ja ashinakulu bhetu, tukanakunde kwaabhulaganga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu!’
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 Kwa nneyo, nnakong'ondelanga mwaashayenenji kuti mmanganya bha ulongo gwa bhaabhulegenje ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu.
Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
32 Bhai, mmaliyanje liengo libhatandubhenje bhanyikala bhenunji lila.
Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
33 Mmanganya nninginji malinga majoka, bhana bha majoka! Shinnjikubhutukanje bhuli ukumu ja ku Jeanamu? (Geenna g1067)
You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Pabha nnolanje, nne ngunakumpeleshelanga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, bhandunji bhakwetenje lunda na bhaajiganya bha Shalia. Bhananji nkupinga kwaabhulaganga na kwaakomelanga munshalabha bhananji, shimwaakomanje ibhoko mmashinagogi genunji na kwaabhinganga shilambo kwa shilambo.
Therefore, look, I send to you prophets, wise people, 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 Kwa nneyo kugambwa kowe shikung'ishilanje kwa ligongo lya minyai ja bhandunji bhakwetenje aki jijitishile pa litaka. Elo, tandubhila kubhulagwa kwa a Abheli bhaaliji bhanguja, mpaka kubhulagwa kwa a Shakalia bhanabhabho a Bhalakiya, bhumwaabhulegenje ku liekalu pakati shitala na liekalu.
that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
36 Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, lwene lubhelekolu lupinga ukumulwa kwa ligongo lya genego.
Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37 “Ugwe Yelushalemu, Ugwe Yelushalemu! Ukwaabhulaganga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, na kwaakomanga maganga mpaka kuwa bhatumilwenje kunngwako bhala. Palingwa njilinga kwaakundikanyanga ashibhanago, malinga nanunu jwa nnguku shakuti kwiigutamila yana yakwe, ikabheje gwaangapinga.
"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 Bhai nnoje, nyumba jako shijibhe liame na ushubha.
Look, your house is abandoned to you.
39 Pabha, nkamonanga kabhili mpaka pushimmeleketanje, ‘Apegwe mboka jwene akwiya kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa.’”
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.'"
