Mathayo 23
1 Pamande ahizizye nu wungano wa bhantu paka na bhanafunzi bhakwe akhayanga,
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
2 “Abhasimbi na Mafarisayo bhakhalila itengo ilya Musa.
saying, "Upon the seat of Moses the Pharisees and scribes sit.
3 Eshi lyolyonti lyabhalajizya wombaji, muwombaje nuhu mubhanajizyaje. Lakini msahinjile mmbhiwi zyao, maana awene bhayanga amambo ngasanga bhawomba.
All which they will say unto you, observe and do; but their works do not do, because they say, and do not do.
4 Lyoli, awene wapinya amazingo amamwamu gasanga bhabhajie ayumule alafu bhahuwatwiha abhantu muvipungo vyao. Lakini awene sagabhayembezya hata hayobhe anyumule.
For they bind heavy and hard to bear burdens, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
5 Imbombo zyao zyonti bhawomba ili abhantu. Bhabhenye maana awene. Wahovyezya amabokosi gao na bhahonjezya ungosi wao na menda gao.
But all their works they do to be seen by others. They make their tefillin broad and enlarge the fringe of their garments,
6 Awene wasongwa akhale isehemu inyinza yi shikulukulu, humatengo gishishi mvibhanza,
and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
7 na alamshilwe hushishi isehemu yakazizye na akwiziwe “Mwalimu” na bhantu.
the grteetings in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi' by people.
8 Lakini amwe sangamhwaziwa akwiziwe “Mwalimu” Mli nu mwalimu weka, amwe wonti mli kholo.
But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your Teacher, and all of you are brothers.
9 Msakha kwinzye umuntu wowonti munsi umu Daada wenyu maana mlinu Daada weke, tu nape ali humwanya.
Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
10 Nantele msahakwiziwe 'mwalimu.' maana mli nu mwalimu weka napo yu Klisiti.
Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Messiah.
11 Eshi yali gosi kati yenyu anzavye muwomba mbombo wenyu.
But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
12 Wowonti yahuisomba anza hulishe na wowonti yazahwishe anzazuwe.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 Lakini mwashela amwe awasimbi na Amafarisayo, awilenkha! Muhubhagalilila abhantu umwene wa humwanya. Amwesangamubhajie huwinjile na sangamuhubha ruhusu bhabhahuaza hwinjile.
"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 (Enya: Usitari ugwa 14 sagaulolekha isimbo inyiza izikhale, izimo isimbo zikhovyezya umstari ugu ugwa 12. Umsitari ugwa 14 “Mwashela amwe mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo muwilenkha amwe muhubhamila abhafyele”).
"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 Mwashela amwe mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, muwilenkha! Mfwemela hwisyela yi idimi igosi na humwombe umuntu weka awenu lwentekho hwagala mmanyizya, na lwabha na zimwe, Mhumwombela mala hawile abhe mwana wa hujehanamu nazi amwe shamlekho. (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 Mwashela amwe mubhalongozi mbadiye amwe mumuyanga, wowonti yalapa hushi bhanza sagahuli nazimo. Lakini yalapa hwiwye lihela yishibhanza apinyilwe na lapa hwankwe.
"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 Amwe mubadiye wapumbavu, shenu ishi gosi ashile isha mwao iweilihela au ishibhanza, liliweshilwe tayari iwyelihela hwa Ngolobhe?
You blind fools. For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctified the gold?
18 Wowonti ya lapa apafinjile, hamna ahatu, ila yalapa husadaka yili humwanya yakwe, apinyilwe ni ndopo yakwe.
'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'
19 Amwe mubhantu mubadiye shenu ishi gosi ashile isha mwao, isadaka au apafinjile papali tayari afumizye isadaka hwa Ngolobhe?
You blind people. For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20 Eshi, uumwene yalapa pashifinjile alapa hwisho ni vintu vyonti vivili pamwanya yakwe.
He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
21 Nape yalapa pashibhanza, alapa hulepo, nuyoakheye pakhanti yakwe.
He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
22 Nape yalapa humabhengo, alapa hwitengo lgosi lya Ngolobhe na hwamwene yakhenye pamwanya yakwe.
He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
23 Mwashela amwe mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, Mubhilenka! Msomba izaka zya bizali, mnamwamu ingindajizyo, ingi haki, isanjilo, ni ulwenlekho. Lakini enga muhwaziwa mugawombe, siyohugaleshe agamo bila hugawombe.
"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 Amwe mubhalongozi mubadiye, amwe myunga utududu utudondo lakini mumila idogobhi!
You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Mwashela amwe mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, bhilenkha! Aje mkhozya honzya ishikombe na honze nyi mbakuli, lakini mkhanti mumemile imbhiwi sangamli nu wonga.
"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 Amwe Mafarisayo mubadiye, ozyaji ahuande mukhanti yishikombe na mukhanti yimbakuli, na uupande wakhonzi nape ubhe zeru.
You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and the plate, so that the outside may become clean also.
27 Mwashela amwe, mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, Mubhilenkha! Mlinifyano yimakaburi gagapashilwe ichokaa, khoze gawhonekha miza lakini mukhanti gamemile amafupa gabhafyinye na shila khanti hintavu.
"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 Shishesho namwe, namwe honze muwhonekha winza hwilongolela lya bhantu, lakini mukhanti mumemile ilenkha nu walangani.
Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to people, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Mwashela amwe, mubhasimbi na Mafarisayo, Mubhilenkha! Mzenga amakaburi ya wakuwa nahugapambe amakaburi gabhagolosu.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
30 Namwe muyanga, aje mngakheye isiku izya waadadawenyu, indisanga muwombile peka akhinte ianda ilya wakuwa.
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 Amwe muhuyanga muwyene aje amwe muli bhana bhewo bhabhakhabha budile awakuwa.
Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
32 Nantele amwe mumalezezya amenye isehemu yihwanziwa imbibhi izyabhadaada wenyu.
Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Eshi, enyi ihumbatuma aawakuwa hulimwe, abhantu winjele, na waasimbi, abhamo munza hubhabude ua hubhakhobhekhanye. Na abhamo munza hubhashente muhanti yivibhanza vyenyu na hubhadaje afume mkhaya yeka hadi iyamwao.
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 Hakhanza fumilepo hulimwe pazafumile idada zyonti izya wagolofu zyazyahitilwe munsi, ahuande idada lya Habili ugolosu, mpaka idanda ilya Zakaria umwana wa Barakia, yamwahabudile pahanti yapafinjile na pashibhanza.
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 Lyoli ihumbawhuzya, amambo enga gonti gakhaibhanga ishikholo eshi.
Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37 Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, awe uhuwabuda abhakuwa na uhubhakhoma na mawe wala bhabhatumwilwe huliwe! khalenga imba whunganyenye abhana bhakho peka nanzi shila inkuku shiwhunganya inyana zyakwe pasi yi maapamikho agakwe, lakini sagahuentekha!
"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 Enya inyumba yakho isangeye wene.
Look, your house is abandoned to you.
39 Nane ihuwozya, ahuande isala enzi nahundelele sangaunza hudole, mpaka lwahaiyanga, 'Asayiwilwe umwene yahwenze hwitawa ilya Bwana.”
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.'"
