Matiyu 23
1 Nin nani, Yesu su uliru ligozi, nin nono katwa mye.
Then Jesus said to the people and to his disciples:
2 A woro, “Anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, asa iso kiti lisosin Musa.
The scribes and the Pharisees have the authority of Moses;
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.
All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say 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.
They make hard laws and put great weights on men's backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them.
5 Vat nadu mine idin su, anit nan yenje nani, asa ikye ilaya gba gbardang, inin ta alutuk ajangaran.
But all their works they do so as to be seen by men: for they make wide their phylacteries, and the edges of their robes,
6 Idinin su niti lisosin tigo kiti nbuki, nin kiti lisosin nago nanya kutyi nlirag,
And the things desired by them are the first places at feasts, and the chief seats in the Synagogues,
7 nin nilip tikune nanya nkasu, anit yicu nani 'Unan yiru'.
And words of respect in the market-places, and to be named by men, Teacher.
8 Bara anung na iwa yicu munu 'Unan yiru', bara idinin nnan yiru warumari, vat mine linuanari.
But you may not be named Teacher: for one is your teacher, and you are all brothers.
9 Na iwa yicu unit nanya inyi Ucif mine ba, bara tidi nin Ncif warum, amere ule na adi nanya kitene kani.
And give no man the name of father on earth: because one is your Father, who is in heaven.
10 Sa iyicu munu 'Unan dursuzu', bara idinin nnan dursuzu warum, ame Kristi.
And you may not be named guides: because one is your Guide, even Christ.
11 Ame ulenge na adi udia nanya mine, na aso unan su munu katwa.
But let the greatest among you be your servant.
12 Vat nlenge na aghantina liti mye, iba toltunghe, nin vat nlenge na a toltuno liti mye iba ghantinghe.
And whoever makes himself high will be made low, and whoever makes himself low will be made high.
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 a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.
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.
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)
A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you go about land and sea to get one disciple and, having him, you make him twice as much a son of hell as 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.'
A curse is on you, blind guides, who say, Whoever takes an oath by the Temple, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the gold of the Temple, he is responsible.
17 Fe uduu ulalang, iyaghari katin, azurfe sa kutyi nlirag na kuna kussu fi azurfe?
You foolish ones and blind: which is greater, the gold, or the Temple which makes the gold holy?
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 takes an oath by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the offering which is on it, he is responsible.
19 Anung anit aduu, Iyaghari katin, ufille sa ubagadi na nnere na kussu ufille?
You blind ones: which is greater, the offering, or the altar which makes the offering holy?
20 Bara nani, vat nlenge na asillp nin nbagadi, asillo nin vat nimon ile na idi kitene nbagade.
He, then, who takes an oath by the altar, takes it by the altar and by all things on it.
21 Ame ule na asillo nin kutyi nlirag, asillo nin kunin nin nlenge na asosin nanya kunin.
And he who takes an oath by the Temple, takes it by the Temple and by him whose house it is.
22 Ame ulle na asillo nin kitene kani, asillo nin kutet tigo Kutelle ninghe ule na asoson kitene.
And he who takes an oath by heaven, takes it by the seat of God, and by him who is seated on 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.
A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone.
24 Anung aduu, fe ulenge na asa ifillo kajiji kacing, ina milla kulonkomi.
You blind guides, who take out a fly from your drink, but make no trouble over a camel.
25 Kash anung anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, a sa ukusu mamal kakuk nin kishik, ina suuna nanye nin ndinon.
A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of violent behaviour and uncontrolled desire.
26 Anung Afarisiyawa aduu, burno ukussu nanya kakupe nin kishik, bara uddase nan da yita lau tutun.
You blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may become equally 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.
A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you are like the resting-places of the dead, which are made white, and seem beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and of all unclean things.
28 Nin nanere, asa anung ndase inuzu anit alau, udu nanye ikullun nin rusuzu nati nin kulapi.
Even so you seem to men to be full of righteousness, but inside you are all false and full of wrongdoing.
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.
A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you put up buildings for housing the dead bodies of the prophets, and make fair the last resting-places of good men, and say,
30 Anung sa iworo, 'Nda tiwa duku nayiri nacif bite, na tiwa munnu nanghinu nanya ngutunu nmyi, na nan nliru nin nnu Kutelle ba.'
If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part 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 that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death.
32 Anung tutun ba kullunu kagisin kulapi nacif mine.
Make full, then, the measure of your fathers.
33 Anung iyii abuni, inung isudun niyii, iba ti iyiziyari isortu kiti nwucu kidegen nin kilari nlah? (Geenna g1067)
You snakes, offspring of snakes, how will you be kept from the punishment 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, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them you will put to death and put on the cross, and to some of them you will give blows in your Synagogues, driving them from town to town;
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.
So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar.
36 Kidegen Meng nbellin munu, vat nile imone base kuji kone.
Truly I say to you, All these things will come on 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!
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who are sent to her! Again and again would I have taken your children to myself as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, and you would not!
38 Yenen nilari mine ba lawu ni lem sa anit.
See, your house is made waste.
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, You will not see me from this time till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.
