Matiyu 23
1 Nin nani, Yesu su uliru ligozi, nin nono katwa mye.
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
2 A woro, “Anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, asa iso kiti lisosin Musa.
saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have set themselves down 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.
all things therefore, whatever they may tell you, do and keep. But do not after their works, 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.
but bind burdens heavy and hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of men, but will not move them with their finger.
5 Vat nadu mine idin su, anit nan yenje nani, asa ikye ilaya gba gbardang, inin ta alutuk ajangaran.
And all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders [of their garments],
6 Idinin su niti lisosin tigo kiti nbuki, nin kiti lisosin nago nanya kutyi nlirag,
and love the chief place in feasts and the first seats in the synagogues,
7 nin nilip tikune nanya nkasu, anit yicu nani 'Unan yiru'.
and salutations in the market-places, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 Bara anung na iwa yicu munu 'Unan yiru', bara idinin nnan yiru warumari, vat mine linuanari.
But ye, be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor, and all ye 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 not [any one] your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens.
10 Sa iyicu munu 'Unan dursuzu', bara idinin nnan dursuzu warum, ame Kristi.
Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ.
11 Ame ulenge na adi udia nanya mine, na aso unan su munu katwa.
But the greatest of you shall be your servant.
12 Vat nlenge na aghantina liti mye, iba toltunghe, nin vat nlenge na a toltuno liti mye iba ghantinghe.
And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble 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 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.
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)
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)
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.'
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.
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 which 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, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor.
19 Anung anit aduu, Iyaghari katin, ufille sa ubagadi na nnere na kussu ufille?
[Fools and] blind ones, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift?
20 Bara nani, vat nlenge na asillp nin nbagadi, asillo nin vat nimon ile na idi kitene nbagade.
He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it.
21 Ame ule na asillo nin kutyi nlirag, asillo nin kunin nin nlenge na asosin nanya kunin.
And he that 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.
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.
24 Anung aduu, fe ulenge na asa ifillo kajiji kacing, ina milla kulonkomi.
Blind guides, who strain out the gnat, but drink down the camel.
25 Kash anung anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, a sa ukusu mamal kakuk nin kishik, ina suuna nanye nin ndinon.
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.
26 Anung Afarisiyawa aduu, burno ukussu nanya kakupe nin kishik, bara uddase nan da yita lau tutun.
Blind Pharisee, make clean first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that their outside also may become 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.
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.
28 Nin nanere, asa anung ndase inuzu anit alau, udu nanye ikullun nin rusuzu nati nin kulapi.
Thus also ye, outwardly ye appear righteous to men, but within 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.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets and adorn the tombs of the just,
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 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.
31 Bara nani, anung nsheida atimine, nworu anughere nono nalenge na iwa mollu anan nliru nin nnu Kutelle.
So that ye bear witness of yourselves that ye are sons of those who slew the prophets:
32 Anung tutun ba kullunu kagisin kulapi nacif mine.
and ye, fill ye 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, offspring of vipers, how should ye escape the judgment 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.
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;
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 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.
36 Kidegen Meng nbellin munu, vat nile imone base kuji kone.
Verily I say unto 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, [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!
38 Yenen nilari mine ba lawu ni lem sa anit.
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate;
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 unto you, Ye shall in no wise see me henceforth until ye say, Blessed [be] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord.
