Matiyu 23
1 Nin nani, Yesu su uliru ligozi, nin nono katwa mye.
Then Yeshua spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
2 A woro, “Anan ninyerte nin na Farisiyawa, asa iso kiti lisosin Musa.
saying, "Upon the seat of Mushe the Pharisees and scribes sit.
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 which they will say unto you, observe and do; but their works do not do, because they say, and do not do.
4 Nanere, asa itere kutura ku getek, kun nijasin inyaunu, inin tarda anit nabandang, inung atimine na iba dudu nin ticin bara iyaun ba.
For they bind heavy and hard to bear burdens, and lay them on people's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help 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 to be seen by others. They make their tefillin broad and enlarge the fringe of their garments,
6 Idinin su niti lisosin tigo kiti nbuki, nin kiti lisosin nago nanya kutyi nlirag,
and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
7 nin nilip tikune nanya nkasu, anit yicu nani 'Unan yiru'.
the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi' by people.
8 Bara anung na iwa yicu munu 'Unan yiru', bara idinin nnan yiru warumari, vat mine linuanari.
But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your Teacher, and all of you are brothers.
9 Na iwa yicu unit nanya inyi Ucif mine ba, bara tidi nin Ncif warum, amere ule na adi nanya kitene kani.
Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
10 Sa iyicu munu 'Unan dursuzu', bara idinin nnan dursuzu warum, ame Kristi.
Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Meshikha.
11 Ame ulenge na adi udia nanya mine, na aso unan su munu katwa.
But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
12 Vat nlenge na aghantina liti mye, iba toltunghe, nin vat nlenge na a toltuno liti mye iba ghantinghe.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will 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 to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you devour the houses of widows, and for show make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
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.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you shut up the kingdom of heaven in front of people; for you do not enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
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 you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of 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.'
"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.'
17 Fe uduu ulalang, iyaghari katin, azurfe sa kutyi nlirag na kuna kussu fi azurfe?
You blind fools. For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctified 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.
'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'
19 Anung anit aduu, Iyaghari katin, ufille sa ubagadi na nnere na kussu ufille?
You blind people. For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20 Bara nani, vat nlenge na asillp nin nbagadi, asillo nin vat nimon ile na idi kitene nbagade.
He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
21 Ame ule na asillo nin kutyi nlirag, asillo nin kunin nin nlenge na asosin nanya kunin.
He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
22 Ame ulle na asillo nin kitene kani, asillo nin kutet tigo Kutelle ninghe ule na asoson kitene.
He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits 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.
"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.
24 Anung aduu, fe ulenge na asa ifillo kajiji kacing, ina milla kulonkomi.
You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a 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 you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but within they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.
26 Anung Afarisiyawa aduu, burno ukussu nanya kakupe nin kishik, bara uddase nan da yita lau tutun.
You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and the plate, so that the outside may become clean also.
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 you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead people's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Nin nanere, asa anung ndase inuzu anit alau, udu nanye ikullun nin rusuzu nati nin kulapi.
Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to people, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
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 you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
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 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.'
31 Bara nani, anung nsheida atimine, nworu anughere nono nalenge na iwa mollu anan nliru nin nnu Kutelle.
Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
32 Anung tutun ba kullunu kagisin kulapi nacif mine.
Fill up, 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 serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gihana? (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, look, I send to you prophets, wise people, 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;
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.
that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Habeil to the blood of Zekharya son of Berakhiya, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
36 Kidegen Meng nbellin munu, vat nile imone base kuji kone.
Truly I tell you, all these things will 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!
"Urishlim, Urishlim, 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.
38 Yenen nilari mine ba lawu ni lem sa anit.
Look, your house is abandoned to you.
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 tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
