Matthew 23
1 Then spake Iesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Mpawo Jesu wakambuula kubbunga lyabantu alimwi akuli basikwiiya bakwe.
2 Saying, The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.
Wakati, “Balembi aba Falisi bakkala muchuno cha Mozesi.
3 All therefore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and doe: but after their workes doe not: for they say, and doe not.
Nkiinkako kufumbwa nchibamulayilila kuchita amuchite nzizyo akuzibeleka. Pesi mutakatobelezyi inchito zyabo pe, nkambo baambula zintu nzibatachiti pe.
4 For they binde heauie burdens, and grieuous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders, but they themselues will not moue them with one of their fingers.
Iyii, balabamba mitolo miyumu kukwinyampula, alimwi balabikkala amakkuko aabantu. Pesi bo lwabo tabanyampuli pe kanwe kabo kuti banyampule.
5 All their workes they doe for to be seene of men: for they make their phylacteries broad, and make long the frindges of their garments,
Balachita zyoonse nzibachita kuti babonwe abantu. Balalichitila zipati alimwi balakomezya myoombe yezibaki zyabo.
6 And loue the chiefe place at feastes, and to haue the chiefe seates in the assemblies,
Bayanda zyuuno zyabapati kumapobwe alimwi azyuuno ezyuuno zyabapati muzikombelo,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
alimwi bayanda injuzyo zilikabotu muzisambalilo, alimwi akwiitwa kuti 'Mwami'abantu.
8 But be not ye called, Rabbi: for one is your doctour, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren.
Pesi inywebo tamwelede pe kwitwa kuti 'Mwami' nkambo mulijisi umwi alimwi nywebo moonse mulibabunyina.
9 And call no man your father vpon the earth: for there is but one, your father which is in heauen.
Alimwi mutayiti muntu anyika ansi aano kuti Taata, nkambo mulawe omwe Taata, alimwi ulikujulu.
10 Be not called doctours: for one is your doctour, euen Christ.
Nikuba kuti ngamulategwa muyiisi, nkambo mulijisi muyisi umwi luzutu, Kkilisitu.
11 But he that is greatest among you, let him be your seruant.
Pesi oyo mupati akati kenu uyoba mulanda wenu.
12 For whosoeuer will exalt himselfe, shall be brought lowe: and whosoeuer will humble himselfe, shalbe exalted.
Nikuba nabaani ulisumpula uyofwinsigwa, alimwi nikubaani ulifwinsya uyosumpulwa.
13 Wo therefore be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites, because ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men: for ye your selues go not in, neither suffer ye them that would enter, to come in.
Pesi maawe kuli ndinywe, nobalembi alimwi abaFalisi, nobasikuupawupa! mulajala abwami bwakujulu kubantu.
14 Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers: wherefore ye shall receiue the greater damnation.
Nkambo tamunjili pe nywebo, alimwi tamukwe nimubazumizya aabo abayanda kunjila kuti banjile.
15 Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye compasse sea and land to make one of your profession: and when he is made, ye make him two folde more the childe of hell, then you your selues. (Geenna g1067)
Maawe kulindinywe, nobalembi alimwi nobaFalisi, basikuupawupa! nkaambo muulya zintu zili mumaanda abamukabafu kamukomba nkombyo ndamfu. Muyotambula mulandu mupati. Maawe kulindinywe, nobalembi alimwi nobaFalisi, basikuupawupa! Nkambo mulayinka akulwizi alimwi akunyika kuti mukasandule muntu umwi, alimwi na waba oyo umwi, ngamwamuchita tubili kuba mwana wegehena mbuli ndinywe. (Geenna g1067)
16 Wo be vnto you blinde guides, which say, Whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the Temple, he offendeth.
“Maawe kuli ndinywe, nobeenzyi baboofu, inywe nimuti, “Ooyo ukonka antempele takwe pe. Pesi ooyo ukonka angolida zyantempeli, ulangidwe kuchizuminano chakwe.
17 Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the golde, or the Temple that sanctifieth the golde?
Inywe noboofu bafubafuba! Niinzi chipati, ingolida nikuba ntempeli eyo ichita ngolida kuti isalale?
18 And whosoeuer sweareth by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the offering that is vpon it, offendeth.
Alimwi, óyo ukonka kuchipayililo, takukwepe. Pesi ooyo ukonka echo chili achipayililo, ulaangidwe kuchizuminano chakwe.
19 Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering?
Inywe nobantu boofu, Niinzi chipati, ichipo nikuba chipayililo eecho chichita kuti ichipo chisalale?
20 Whosoeuer therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
Eelyo, ooyo ukonka kuchipayililo ukonka nchiicho alimwi azyoonse ezyo zili alinchicho.
21 And whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
Ooyo ukonka kuntempeli ukonka njiiyo alimwi ayooyo ukkala mukati.
22 And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Alimwi ayooyo ukonka akujulu ukonka achuuno chabulemu bwa Leza alimwi ayooyo ukkala alinchiicho.
23 Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye tithe mynt, and annyse, and cummyn, and leaue the weightier matters of the law, as iudgement, and mercy and fidelitie. These ought ye to haue done, and not to haue left the other.
Maawe kulindinywe nobalembi alimwi anoba Falisi basikuupawupa! Nkambo mulapayizya chakumi chazisyu zyachinsyungwa abbonko akanyansya, pesi mwasiya akutachita zintu zipati ezyo zyaamba mulawu- bwendelezi bubotu alimwi aluzyalo mpawo alusyomo. Pesi eezi mwalelede kuti naka mwazichita alimwi akutasiya nikuba chimwi chanzizyo.
24 Ye blinde guides, which straine out a gnat, and swallowe a camell.
Inywebo nobasikwenzya boofu, mulatingwa akawuka pesi mumena inkamela!
25 Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye make cleane the vtter side of the cup, and of the platter: but within they are ful of briberie and excesse.
Maawe kulindinywe, nobalembi alimwi aba Falisi, basikuupawupa! Nkaambo musanzya inkomeki kunze kwayo mpawo andyido, pesi muzili mukati zilizwide kutangala akutayendelezegwa kabotu.
26 Thou blinde Pharise, cleanse first the inside of the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be cleane also.
Inywe noba Falisi boofu! Musanzye muzili mukati nkomeki sansina amukati kandyido, kuchitila kuti kunze kusambe akulako.
27 Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are like vnto whited tombes, which appeare beautifull outward, but are within full of dead mens bones, and all filthines.
Maawe kulindinywe, nobalembi aba Falisi basikuupawupa! Nkaambo mulimbuli tubanda tulambidwe amilambo ituuba, eezyo zilangiika kubota anze, pesi mukati zizwide mafuwa abantu bakafwa alimwi azyoonse zyamudima.
28 So are ye also: for outwarde ye appeare righteous vnto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisie and iniquitie.
Munzila njiyeeyo, anywebo aanze kwanu muli mbuli bantu baluleme kubantu, pesi mukati mulizwide kuupawupa ameso alimwi abubi.
29 Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye build the tombes of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Maawe kulindinywe, nobalembi aba Falisi, basikuupawupa! Nkaambo mulayaka tubanda twabasinsiimi alimwi akubotezya tubanda twabaluleme.
30 And say, If we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we would not haue bene partners with them in the blood of the Prophets.
Mwamba kuti, “Kwanoli twakaliko mumazuba abamataata, nikuli tetwakabape mulibaabo bakatila bulowa bwabasinsiimi.'
31 So then ye be witnesses vnto your selues, that ye are the children of them that murthered the Prophets.
Nkinkaako mulalyaamba nobeeni kuti muli bana babaabo bakajaya basinsiimi.
32 Fulfill ye also ye measure of your fathers.
Alimwi mwazuzikizya bulemu bwabamawuso.
33 O serpents, the generation of vipers, howe should ye escape the damnation of hell! (Geenna g1067)
Inywe nobazooka, inywe nobana bachipile, muyokuchija biyeni kubetekwa kwagehena? (Geenna g1067)
34 Wherefore beholde, I send vnto you Prophets, and wise men, and Scribes, and of them ye shall kill and crucifie: and of them shall ye scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from citie to citie,
Nkambo kako, amubone, ndamutumina basinsimi abalumi basongo alimwi abalembi. Bamwi babo muyobajaya akubagankamina, alimwi bamwi muyobakwipawula muzikombelo zyenu alimwi muyobatanda kuzwa kumunzi akumunzi.
35 That vpon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed vpon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, vnto the blood of Zacharias the sonne of Barachias, whome ye slewe betweene the Temple and the altar.
Impindu njakuti andinywe kuyozwa bulowa boonse bwabataluleme oobo bwakatika enyika, kuzwa kubulowa bwa Abbelu mululami, domane kubulowa bwa Zakkaliya mwana wa Bbelekkiya, ooyo ngumwakajaya akati kantempeli achipayililo.
36 Verely I say vnto you, all these things shall come vpon this generation.
Kasimpe ndamwambila, zintu eezi zyoonse ziyozida aabo bapona sunu
37 Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent to thee, how often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her chickins vnder her wings, and ye would not!
“Jelusalema, Jelusalema, inywe nimujaya basinsiimi alimwi akudonkola aabo batumwa kuli nduuwe! Ndakaliswini kuyanda kubunganya bana bako antoomwe, mbuli inkuku mbifukatila twana twayo munsi lyamababa ayo, pesi tewakazumina pe!
38 Beholde, your habitation shalbe left vnto you desolate,
Amubone, ngánda yenu yachaala kulindinywe yaba mbulitongo.
39 For I say vnto you, ye shall not see mee henceforth till that ye say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
Alimwi ndamwambila, tamuchizondiboni pe kuzwa lino dokusikila mukaambe kuti, uulachoolwe ooyo uuza muzina lya Mwami.”
