Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
Kuleka ite auligilye ne antu neamanyisigwa ahwe,
2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have set themselves down in Moses' seat:
''Iaandeki neamafalisayo ikaie ituntu lang'wa Musa.
3 all things therefore, whatever they may tell you, do and keep. But do not after their works, for they say and do not,
Kehi neakumuila kituma, itumi kunu mezeagoza. Kuita muteke kituma intendo yao, kunsoko neanso elunga imakani neshaituma.
4 but bind burdens heavy and hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of men, but will not move them with their finger.
Itai etunga meligo melito neanso hange mekaku humehenha, hange eahensha iantu mumeenga ao. Kuite neanso shaehugeela ata ninino kukenha.
5 And all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders [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 chief place in feasts and the first seats in the synagogues,
Neanso ilowa kikie muianza yakikulya muumalagone mumatuntu akakulya mukate amumasinagogi,
7 and salutations in the market-places, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
nuhulamushigwa kukulyo nkani yakusoko, nukulang'wa, ''Amanyisi'' ne antu.
8 But ye, be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor, and all ye are brethren.
Kuite unye singainonee kitangwa''Miamanyisi'' Kunsoko muukete umumanyisi ung'wi, hange unye meehi mekiluna.
9 And call not [any one] your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens.
Muleke kuuitanga muntu wehi apa mihe kena Tata wanyu, kunsoko mukete Tata wang'wi alua, nung'wenso ukole hilunde.
10 Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ.
Hange muleke kitangwa ''amanyisi'' kunsoko mukete umumanyisi ung'wi duu, inge Kristo.
11 But the greatest of you shall be your servant.
Inge numukulu mulalanyu ukutala mutumi wanyu.
12 And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Wehi nukihumbula ukusimigwa, hange wehi nukisimya ukuhumbulwa.
13 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.
Kuite ukea wanyu aandeki nea mafalisayo, ateele! mukua lugaile iantu utemi nuakilunde. Nunyenyeshamuhumile kingela, shamuagombilye neakingela hutende ite.
15 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)
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, 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.
Ukae wanyu atongeeli nea poku, unye nemilunga, wehi nuelapa kitekeelo, singa kentu. Kuite nuelapa kilapo la zahabu ni lekeelo, ukulungwa nekelapokakwe.
17 Fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple which sanctifies the gold?
Unye apoku meapungu, nekeule nekekulu kukelakeuya, zahabune angwi itekeelo neliikilwe wakufu nezahabu kung'wi Tunda?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor.
Hange, wehi nukulapa kuzahabu, singa kentu. Inge nukulapa kisongelyo nelekole mung'waakwe, utungilwa nuulapi wakwe.
19 [Fools and] blind ones, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift?
Unye antu nemeapoku, nekeule nekekulu kukele ikiunya isongeelyona ang'wi adhabu neekwa wakufu imasongeilyo nepumigwa kung'wi Tunda?
20 He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it.
Kuite, nuanso nuelopa kuzahabu wilapa kunelanso nukumaintu ehe nahole kung'wa akwe.
21 And he that swears by the temple swears by it and by him that dwells in it.
Nung'wenso nuelapa mitekeelo, wilapa kunelanso kung'wenso nuekili akwe.
22 And he that swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him that sits upon 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 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.
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 Blind guides, who strain out the gnat, but drink down the camel.
Unye atongeeli nemeapoku, nemukusuza umududu numuniino kuite mukuimela ingamia!
25 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.
Ukae wanyu, andeki neafalisayo, miateele! Kunsoko mukoja ikole kunzi ne sahani kuhunzi, kuite kunzi izue uubi hange kulile anga upolo.
26 Blind Pharisee, make clean first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that their outside also may become clean.
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 ye are like whited sepulchres, which appear beautiful outwardly, but within are full of dead men's bones and 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 Thus also ye, outwardly ye appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Uulukuli, nunye kunzi migee kena miaza ntongeele aantu, kuite kunzi mizue uteele nuubi.
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets and adorn the tombs of the just,
Ukae wanyu, aandeki neafalisayo, meateele! kunsoko mukuzenga iibiila na anyakidagu nukupambe iibiila yao awa nea tai.
30 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.
Unye milunga, anga aekikie mumahiku a tata itu, shanga aezekipalung'wi nao kuhunula usakami nuanya kidagu.
31 So that ye bear witness of yourselves that ye are sons of those who slew the prophets:
Kuite mukihenga unyenye kena unye miana ao awa nae abulagile ianyakidagu.
32 and ye, fill ye up the measure of your fathers.
Hange unyenye mukupikeelya kizulya pang'wanso niinonee umulandu nua Tata anyu.
Unye nzoka, akete vipilibao, muuekile ule uulamuli nuakujehanamu? (Geenna g1067)
34 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;
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 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.
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 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Tai, kumuila, imakani aya ehi akuupata uwileli uwu.
37 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!
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 unto you desolate;
Goza ito lako lasaga nuula.
39 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.
Nunee kuila, kandeelya, itungo lele nukulongoleka singa umona, sunga nuekalunga, “Ukembetilwe nuanso nuzile kulina nela Mukulu.”
