Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
Kuleka ite auligilye ne antu neamanyisigwa ahwe,
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
''Iaandeki neamafalisayo ikaie ituntu lang'wa Musa.
3 All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but do not do their works; for they say, and do not do.
Kehi neakumuila kituma, itumi kunu mezeagoza. Kuita muteke kituma intendo yao, kunsoko neanso elunga imakani neshaituma.
4 For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
Itai etunga meligo melito neanso hange mekaku humehenha, hange eahensha iantu mumeenga ao. Kuite neanso shaehugeela ata ninino kukenha.
5 But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
Inlendo yao yehi, ituma nsoko agozwe neantu. Kunsoko neanso igalipya imasandeko ao nukongeelya ukuulu nua upendi wang'wenda ao.
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
Neanso ilowa kikie muianza yakikulya muumalagone mumatuntu akakulya mukate amumasinagogi,
7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
nuhulamushigwa kukulyo nkani yakusoko, nukulang'wa, ''Amanyisi'' ne antu.
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
Kuite unye singainonee kitangwa''Miamanyisi'' Kunsoko muukete umumanyisi ung'wi, hange unye meehi mekiluna.
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
Muleke kuuitanga muntu wehi apa mihe kena Tata wanyu, kunsoko mukete Tata wang'wi alua, nung'wenso ukole hilunde.
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
Hange muleke kitangwa ''amanyisi'' kunsoko mukete umumanyisi ung'wi duu, inge Kristo.
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
Inge numukulu mulalanyu ukutala mutumi wanyu.
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Wehi nukihumbula ukusimigwa, hange wehi nukisimya ukuhumbulwa.
13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
Kuite ukea wanyu aandeki nea mafalisayo, ateele! mukua lugaile iantu utemi nuakilunde. Nunyenyeshamuhumile kingela, shamuagombilye neakingela hutende ite.
14 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you do not enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
15 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 a son of Gehenna (Geenna g1067) as yourselves.
Ukae wanyu aandeki neafalisayo, ateele! Mukuputa itumbe labahali nukumutenda umuntu ung'wi wahuele kuaya nemukumanyisa. hangi nuekatenda anga unyenye, mukumulenda kabiili muntu nue [kumoto] jehanamu anga uu uuyenye nemile. (Geenna g1067)
16 “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.’
Ukae wanyu atongeeli nea poku, unye nemilunga, wehi nuelapa kitekeelo, singa kentu. Kuite nuelapa kilapo la zahabu ni lekeelo, ukulungwa nekelapokakwe.
17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
Unye apoku meapungu, nekeule nekekulu kukelakeuya, zahabune angwi itekeelo neliikilwe wakufu nezahabu kung'wi Tunda?
18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
Hange, wehi nukulapa kuzahabu, singa kentu. Inge nukulapa kisongelyo nelekole mung'waakwe, utungilwa nuulapi wakwe.
19 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
Unye antu nemeapoku, nekeule nekekulu kukele ikiunya isongeelyona ang'wi adhabu neekwa wakufu imasongeilyo nepumigwa kung'wi Tunda?
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
Kuite, nuanso nuelopa kuzahabu wilapa kunelanso nukumaintu ehe nahole kung'wa akwe.
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
Nung'wenso nuelapa mitekeelo, wilapa kunelanso kung'wenso nuekili akwe.
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
Nung'wenso nuelapa kiluunde, wilapa pituntu la utemi ne lang'wi Tunda nukung'wenso nuikie mung'wanso.
23 “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.
Ukae wanyu, aandeki neafalisayo, ateele! kunsoko mukupunya ezaka kubizali, mnaanaa nechicha, kuita mukuleka imakani nemalito milego -tai ukende, nuuhueli. Kuite aya yemunonee kutula mutumile, hange singa kumaleka nemangiza muhile kumitumela.
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
Unye atongeeli nemeapoku, nemukusuza umududu numuniino kuite mukuimela ingamia!
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
Ukae wanyu, andeki neafalisayo, miateele! Kunsoko mukoja ikole kunzi ne sahani kuhunzi, kuite kunzi izue uubi hange kulile anga upolo.
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
Unye aaafalisa nemiapoku, oji hanza ikole mukati ne mukati a sahani, nsoko inkika na kunzi etule nza nenyenso gaa.
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones and of all uncleanness.
Ukae wanyi, aandeke neafalisayo, meateele! kunsoko mukimpyana niibeela napakilwe ukenke, kunzi igela maza, kuite mukati izue imakupa naashi hange kela kentu neke bii.
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Uulukuli, nunye kunzi migee kena miaza ntongeele aantu, kuite kunzi mizue uteele nuubi.
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
Ukae wanyu, aandeki neafalisayo, meateele! kunsoko mukuzenga iibiila na anyakidagu nukupambe iibiila yao awa nea tai.
30 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.’
Unye milunga, anga aekikie mumahiku a tata itu, shanga aezekipalung'wi nao kuhunula usakami nuanya kidagu.
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
Kuite mukihenga unyenye kena unye miana ao awa nae abulagile ianyakidagu.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
Hange unyenye mukupikeelya kizulya pang'wanso niinonee umulandu nua Tata anyu.
33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna (Geenna g1067)?
Unye nzoka, akete vipilibao, muuekile ule uulamuli nuakujehanamu? (Geenna g1067)
34 Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, 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,
Kuite, goza, kuatuma kitalanyu ianyakidagu, antuneakuligwa, neaandeki, Ang'wi ao mukuabulaga nukuaja. Ang'wiao mukuakua mumasinagogi anyu nukuazunsa nukupuma makesale king'wi sunga numuya.
35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
Upumeli kena kung'wa anyu ukupumela usakami wehi nua tai nauhunuwe mihe, kaziilya isakamiang'wa Habili nua tai sunga isakani niya Zakalia ung'waa Balaki, nae mumubulabile patakatifu nepa kezindaalo.
36 Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
Tai, kumuila, imakani aya ehi akuupata uwileli uwu.
37 “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!
Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, uewe nukeze abulaga ianyakidagu nukuakua namagwe awa neatumilwe kung'wa ako! Nkua inga kumilingeela iang'enya ako palung'wi anga enkuku nilingeela iana akwe mumanana akwe, kuite singa wikagomba!
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
Goza ito lako lasaga nuula.
39 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!’”
Nunee kuila, kandeelya, itungo lele nukulongoleka singa umona, sunga nuekalunga, “Ukembetilwe nuanso nuzile kulina nela Mukulu.”
