Matiyu 23
1 Nin nani, Yesu su uliru ligozi, nin nono katwa mye.
Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes, and to his disciples,
2 A woro, “Anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, asa iso kiti lisosin Musa.
saying: The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses seat:
3 Bara nani, vat nile imon na ibellin munu isu, suun inin kin yenje, na iwa su adu mine ba. Bara inung di nbellu, na idin su inin ba.
therefore, all things that they command you to observe, observe and do. But do not according to their works: for they command, and do not.
4 Nanere, asa itere kutura ku getek, kun nijasin inyaunu, inin tarda anit nabandang, inung atimine na iba dudu nin ticin bara iyaun ba.
For they bind up burdens that are heavy and hard to be borne, and lay them on the shoulders of men; but they refuse to move them with one of their fingers.
5 Vat nadu mine idin su, anit nan yenje nani, asa ikye ilaya gba gbardang, inin ta alutuk ajangaran.
And they do all their works for the purpose of being seen by men. They make their amulets broad, and enlarge the fringes of their mantles.
6 Idinin su niti lisosin tigo kiti nbuki, nin kiti lisosin nago nanya kutyi nlirag,
They also love the most honorable places at suppers, and the first seats in the synagogues,
7 nin nilip tikune nanya nkasu, anit yicu nani 'Unan yiru'.
and salutations in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 Bara anung na iwa yicu munu 'Unan yiru', bara idinin nnan yiru warumari, vat mine linuanari.
But you must not be called Rabbi; for one is your leader, and all of you are brethren.
9 Na iwa yicu unit nanya inyi Ucif mine ba, bara tidi nin Ncif warum, amere ule na adi nanya kitene kani.
And call no man on earth your father; for one is your Father, who is in heaven.
10 Sa iyicu munu 'Unan dursuzu', bara idinin nnan dursuzu warum, ame Kristi.
And be not called leaders; for one is your leader, the Christ.
11 Ame ulenge na adi udia nanya mine, na aso unan su munu katwa.
And the greatest among you shall be your minister.
12 Vat nlenge na aghantina liti mye, iba toltunghe, nin vat nlenge na a toltuno liti mye iba ghantinghe.
Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
13 Kash anughe, anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, anan rusuzu nati, anung ntursu kipin tigo Kutelle kiti nanit, na anung ati mine npira ba, a na iyinna ale na idinin su pire, ipuru ba.
But alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you eat up the houses of widows, and for a pretext make long prayers. For this reason, you shall receive the greater condemnation.
14 Kash anung, anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, anan rusuzu nati, idin bolusu nalari nawani ale na ales mine na kuzu, inani din dursuzu ati mine kiti nlirag mijangarang bara nani iba seru uca nkul udia.
Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you close the kingdom of heaven in the face of men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you suffer those who are entering, to go in.
15 Kash anung, anan ninyerte nin nafarisiyawa, bara asa idoo kurawa nin kutyin, npiziru anan dortu Kutelle, iwa se, asa ukuru itaghe aso gono nlahira nafo na anung atimine di. (Geenna g1067)
Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you traverse sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, you make him twofold more a child of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 Kash anung anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, anung na ina woro, 'Vat nlenge na asillo nin kutyi nlirag, na imomo nari ba, vat nlenge na a sillo nin nazurfa kutyi nlirag, isillin ntere ghe.'
Alas for you, blind guides! who say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, becomes a debtor.
17 Fe uduu ulalang, iyaghari katin, azurfe sa kutyi nlirag na kuna kussu fi azurfe?
Fools and blind! for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18 Nin nworu, vat nlenge na asillo nin bagadi na imomonari ba, bara vat nlenge na asillo nin nfillu na udi kitene, isillin in tereghe.
And, Whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gift that is on it, becomes a debtor.
19 Anung anit aduu, Iyaghari katin, ufille sa ubagadi na nnere na kussu ufille?
Fools and blind! for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20 Bara nani, vat nlenge na asillp nin nbagadi, asillo nin vat nimon ile na idi kitene nbagade.
Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all that is on it.
21 Ame ule na asillo nin kutyi nlirag, asillo nin kunin nin nlenge na asosin nanya kunin.
And whoever swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him that dwells in it.
22 Ame ulle na asillo nin kitene kani, asillo nin kutet tigo Kutelle ninghe ule na asoson kitene.
And he that swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him that sits upon it.
23 Kash anung anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, anan rusuzu nati, idin nizu uzakka vat nimon kunen, ina suna litino nimone, kidegen usu gegeme, uyitu dert, ile imonere caun isu, na iwa fillin inin ba.
Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, its justice, its mercy, and its faithfulness. These you ought to have done, and those you ought not to have neglected.
24 Anung aduu, fe ulenge na asa ifillo kajiji kacing, ina milla kulonkomi.
Blind guides! who strain out a gnat, but swallow a camel.
25 Kash anung anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, a sa ukusu mamal kakuk nin kishik, ina suuna nanye nin ndinon.
Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you make clean the outside of the cup and the plate; but within they are full of rapine and excess.
26 Anung Afarisiyawa aduu, burno ukussu nanya kakupe nin kishik, bara uddase nan da yita lau tutun.
Blind Pharisee! first make clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside of them also may be clean.
27 Kash anung anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, anan rusuzu nati, anung di nafo nisek nibo pert, alenge ndase idin yenju gegeme, nanye kullun nin nakuu na nan kuzu, nan nimon nsalin nlau.
Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like whitened sepulchers, which without appear beautiful, but within are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Nin nanere, asa anung ndase inuzu anit alau, udu nanye ikullun nin rusuzu nati nin kulapi.
So also you outwardly appear to men to be just, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 Kash anung anan ninyerte nin nafarisiyawa, bara din nkye nissek na nan nliru nin nnu Kutelle, nin su nissek na nan fiu Kutelle kuyok.
Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the sepulchers of the righteous,
30 Anung sa iworo, 'Nda tiwa duku nayiri nacif bite, na tiwa munnu nanghinu nanya ngutunu nmyi, na nan nliru nin nnu Kutelle ba.'
and 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 Bara nani, anung nsheida atimine, nworu anughere nono nalenge na iwa mollu anan nliru nin nnu Kutelle.
So then you testify against yourselves, that you are the sons of those who killed the prophets.
32 Anung tutun ba kullunu kagisin kulapi nacif mine.
Do you also fill up the measure of your fathers.
33 Anung iyii abuni, inung isudun niyii, iba ti iyiziyari isortu kiti nwucu kidegen nin kilari nlah? (Geenna g1067)
Serpents, generation of vipers, how can you escape the condemnation of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Bara nani, yenen ntoo munu anan nliru nin nnu kutelle, anit ajinjin, nin na nan ninyerte, among nanya mine iba mollu nani, ibana nani kutca, amon nanya mine iba kpizu nani nanya kutyi nlirag, ukoo nani kagbir udu kagbir.
For this reason, behold, I send you prophets and wise men and scribes; and 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 Kiti minere alakin nmyi nanan fiu kutelle, mongo na iwa gutun inye, uyiru nmyi Habila unan fiu Kutelle, udu nmyi zakariya usaun Barikiya ulenge na iwa mollughe, kiyitik, kiti nlirag nin nbagadi.
that upon you may come all the righteous blood which has been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just to the blood of Zachariah, the son of Barachiah, whom you slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Kidegen Meng nbellin munu, vat nile imone base kuji kone.
Verily I say to you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 Urushelima, Urushelima, fe ulenge na udin mollusu anan nliru nin nnu Kutelle, idin filisu na ina tuu nani kiti mine, iyanghari uworsu ndinin su npitirin nono fe, kiti kirum, nafo kukuru na asa pitirino nono mye, nagilit mye, bara nani, inani nari!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest those who are sent to thee, how often have I desired to gather thy children together, as a bird gathers her young under her wings, and you refused.
38 Yenen nilari mine ba lawu ni lem sa anit.
Behold, your house is left to you deserted.
39 Bara Meng nbellin munu, na iba kuru iyenei ba nene udu ubun, se iworo, 'Unan nmariari ule na aba dak nanya lisa Ncikilarie.'”
For I say to you, That you shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
