Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
Lani ki Jesu maadi yeni o nuwuligu yeni o ŋuankaabi ki tua:
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
U Tienu kadabanda nba yeni farisien nba n kubi Moyiisi ñɔmaama,
3 All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but do not do their works; for they say, and do not do.
ya tie mani ki gɔ cɔlni ban wangi yaali, ama yinbi n da nua ban tiendi yaali, kilima bi maadi ki naa tiendi.
4 For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
Bi tungi bi niba ya tuga n kpiagi, yaali ki ban mɔno kan tuo ki taa bi nubila ki tugi.
5 But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
Bi tie bi bona kuli ki bi niba n ya nɔbi (nuabi), yeni bi tila yia ya po ki bi diani U Tienu maama yi gbengi ki cie li liela kuli, ki bi tiadi ñɔgbana pia.
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
Bani n gɔ ŋanbi ki buadi a kinkaan cincina ti wondn ni yeni bi tintaandiena nni,
7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
bi bua k bi ya cua bi niba nni, ban ya fuondiba ki yib canba nba.
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
Ama yinbi, da ŋaa mani ki bi yii canba nba, kilima i pia canba yendi, yua n ye tapoli po.
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
Yin gɔ da yii nul i tinga ne po i baá, kilima i pia baá yendo, yua n ye tapoli po.
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
Da ŋaa mani k bi yii yonbidaan, kilima, yendo baba n tie i yudaano, lani n tie klisto.
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
Yua tie kpel i siign ni ba tua i tuonsɔnlo,
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
yua n dongi oba, b bu jiini o, ki yua jiindi oba ban doni o.
13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
Yubɔnli i po, yinbi a gbanbanda yeni falisien munafigi danbi ne, kilima i pangi bi niba U Tienu diema nni kuama, yinbi mɔno, i ki bua ki kua, i gɔ kan ŋaa yaabi n bua ban kua mɔ, ban kua.
14 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you do not enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
Yubɔnli i po, yinbi a gbanbanda yeni falisien mɔnafiki danba, kilima, i gbendi a pakuana (kpepuol) pianmi, k fani ki jaandi ki nan maadi ti maayuyuodi; li po n cedi ki buudi te baa bia.
15 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 a son of Gehenna (Geenna g1067) as yourselves.
Fala tie i yaali yinbi a gbanbanda yeni falisien nba, ki dugni i caa ya longbana n fagn ki kpaani yaabi n bu kua i jaandi. I ya la nuyendi, o biidi gɔ yi pugni ki kuan o o muu diegu. (Geenna g1067)
16 “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.’
Yubɔnli i po yinbi yaabi n ki nɔ ki mɔ ji ŋmagdi i liebi, yinbi n maadi k nuli ya puoni o puoni u jaandidieciangu yeli po li ki biidi, ama nul ya puoni k li tie o jaandidieciangu wula po k k cɔlni li puoni, li kanŋaagu.
17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
I ki pia yami ba waami, i tie juama paaa, le po n ji yabi ki cie o lieli, wula bii o jandidieciangu yia cedi wula yi ŋanbi U Tienu nugn ni?
18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
Yinbi n gɔ maadi ki nul ya poli salgbinbindli po l ki pia maami ama nul ya poli k li tie salgi yaali n maa l binbindli po k ki cɔln o maami li kan ŋaagu.
19 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
I tie juama paaa, le n cie l lieli i, salgi bii li binbindli yia cedi k salgi yen mɔni U Tienu nugn ni?
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
Yua puoni bonli, altaro yeli po, o puoni yeni yaali n maa l po kuli.
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
Yua n ́ puoni bonli k taa u jaandidieciangu yeli, u ta yeni U Tienu yeli, wani U le yeni li jaandidieli.
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
Ki yua n gɔ puoni bonli tapoli po yeli po, wan bandi k o puoni U Tienu kankaanu yeli po i, o taani yeni U Tienu kuli.
23 “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.
Yubɔnli i po yinbi a gbanbanda yeni farisien nba munafiki danbi ne, kilkima i paa......... k ŋaan yaali n mɔni, lani n tie k n kuni i mɔni, sugli yeni ti ŋandi nni.
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
Yinbi bi juanbi mɔ u, ki ji b dadi i lieba! Yinbi n yedi ki bua mi ñunŋanbi, ki bi tindi ki ñani i naasiigi ki nan sieni o taamo ki nali.
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
Fala tie i yali, yinbi a gbanbanda yeni ŋalacidanba, kilima i ŋanbd i jieditiadi yeni i ñuñubona puoli po i, ki ŋaa yaali n ye lien nni, k li gbieyeni ti naayignmi yeni o faagu.
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
Fini farisien juamo ne, cili ki ŋanbi a ñuñubonli nni yeni a jeditagdgin no, ki li puoli po n mɔn fidi ki ya ŋani.
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones and of all uncleanness.
Yubɔnli i po yinbi a gbanbanda yeni farisien ŋalacidanbi ne, kilima i tie nani ya kakula (kula) k bi yi ŋanbi li puoli po lan bedi ama k li tingi po gbieyeni a kpab bedma yeni i cincibiadmu buoli kuli.
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
I mɔ tie yeni, cincanli po i naan yen nimɔnbi yeni ama ki tukdn nan gbie yeni ŋalaci yeni biid.
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
Yubonli, i po yinba gbanbanda yeni farisienba ŋalacidanba, kelima, i maa bi sawalpuaba kakula ki ŋanbdi bi nimɔnba kakula.
30 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.’
I maadi: “Ti ya bo ye ti yaajanba yogu, ti bo kan kuani ti nuu yaaba wuli sawalpuaba sɔma.
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
Lanwani ii, i tuo ki tieni kasiedi ke i tie yaaba n wuli bi sawalpuaba sɔma bila i.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
I mɔko gbie yeni i yaajanba tuonbiadi i.
33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna (Geenna g1067)?
Waalaba, walabiada buolu, i ba fidi ki ciadi ku mubuogu yeni li daajuodkaali buudi jiama aa? (Geenna g1067)
34 Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, 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,
Lanyapo i ke n ba sɔni i kani bi sawalpuaba, bi yanfodanba, yeni yiko gbanbanda. I ba kpa bine, ki kpaa tianba li daapɔnpɔnli po, yaaba n sieni mo, yin pua ba a finfiba i yikodi cogdiena nni, ki beli ki ñani ba i dogu nni.
35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
Lan ba baa maama, li tie ke ban wuli ya niteginkaaba sɔma ki tinga po, ki cili o niteginka Abeli, ki ban juodi Berekia bijua Sakari, yin bo kpa yua ku jaandiegu yeni li jaanbinbindli siiga baa maa i yula po i.
36 Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
N maadi yi i mɔmɔni, ya bona ne kuli ba tieni ya nifiima ne ya yogu i.
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 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!
Jerusalema, Jerusalema, fini yua n kpa bi sawalpuaba, ki lugdi ban sɔni yaaba i kani a tana! bonmŋa i ke n bi sugni min taani a bila na ya koomado n yi taani o koobimu o fiabi nni yeni, ama a naa pia li buama.
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
Diidi, a diegu ba tua diegbenli.
39 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!’”
Kelima N maadi yi, i ji kan la nni, ki cili mɔla hali yeni yin yedi, “Mi yediŋanma ye yeni yua kpendi o Diedo yeli po.”
