Matthew 23
1 Then, Jesus spake unto the multitudes and unto his disciples,
Lani ki Jesu maadi yeni o nuwuligu yeni o ŋuankaabi ki tua:
2 saying—Upon Moses’ seat, have sat down, the Scribes and the Pharisees:
U Tienu kadabanda nba yeni farisien nba n kubi Moyiisi ñɔmaama,
3 All things, therefore, whatsoever they tell you, do and observe, —but, according to their works, do ye not, for they, say, and do not, perform.
ya tie mani ki gɔ cɔlni ban wangi yaali, ama yinbi n da nua ban tiendi yaali, kilima bi maadi ki naa tiendi.
4 But they bind together heavy burdens, and lay upon men’s shoulders, whereas, they, with their finger, are not willing to move them.
Bi tungi bi niba ya tuga n kpiagi, yaali ki ban mɔno kan tuo ki taa bi nubila ki tugi.
5 But, all their works, they do, to be gazed at, by men, —for they make broad their amulets, and make large their fringes,
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 dearly love the first couch in the chief meals, and the first seats in the synagogues,
Bani n gɔ ŋanbi ki buadi a kinkaan cincina ti wondn ni yeni bi tintaandiena nni,
7 And the salutations in the market-places, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
bi bua k bi ya cua bi niba nni, ban ya fuondiba ki yib canba nba.
8 But, ye, —do not be called Rabbi, —for, one, is your Teacher, and, all ye, are brethren;
Ama yinbi, da ŋaa mani ki bi yii canba nba, kilima i pia canba yendi, yua n ye tapoli po.
9 And, father, be none of you called, upon the earth, for, one, is your Father, the Heavenly;
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 leaders, for, your leader, is one, the Christ;
Da ŋaa mani k bi yii yonbidaan, kilima, yendo baba n tie i yudaano, lani n tie klisto.
11 And, the greatest of you, shall be to you, a minister;
Yua tie kpel i siign ni ba tua i tuonsɔnlo,
12 And, whoever shall exalt himself, shall be, abased, and, whoever shall abase himself, shall be, exalted,
yua n dongi oba, b bu jiini o, ki yua jiindi oba ban doni o.
13 But alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye are locking up the kingdom of the heavens before men, —for, ye, are not entering, neither, them who are entering, suffer ye to enter.
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.
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 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because ye compass sea and dry land, to make one convert—and, when it is done, ye make him a son of gehenna, twofold more than ye. (Geenna g1067)
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 Alas for you, blind guides! that say—Whosoever shall swear by the Temple, it is, nothing, but, whosoever shall swear by the gold of the Temple, is bound:
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 Foolish and blind! for which is, greater, The gold, or the Temple that hath hallowed 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, whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is, nothing, but, whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is bound:
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 Blind! for which is greater, The gift, or the altar that halloweth 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 that hath sworn by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that is upon it;
Yua puoni bonli, altaro yeli po, o puoni yeni yaali n maa l po kuli.
21 And, he that hath sworn by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him who dwelleth therein;
Yua n ́ puoni bonli k taa u jaandidieciangu yeli, u ta yeni U Tienu yeli, wani U le yeni li jaandidieli.
22 And, he that hath sworn by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him who sitteth thereupon.
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 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye tithe the mint and the anise and the cummin, —and have dismissed the weightier matters of the law—the justice, the mercy, and the faith; whereas, these, it was binding, to do, and, those, not to, dismiss.
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 Blind guides! Straining out the gnat, but, the camel, swallowing.
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 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, —while, within, they are full of plunder and intemperance.
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 Blind Pharisee! cleanse, first, the inside, of the cup [and of the dish], that, the outside thereof, may become, clean.
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 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye make yourselves like sepulchres whitewashed, which, outside, indeed, appear, beautiful, but, within, are full, of dead men’s bones and 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 Thus, ye also, outside, indeed, appear to men, righteous, but, within, are full, of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
I mɔ tie yeni, cincanli po i naan yen nimɔnbi yeni ama ki tukdn nan gbie yeni ŋalaci yeni biid.
29 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the monuments 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 been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been their partners 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 So that ye bear witness against yourselves, that ye are, sons, of them who murdered the prophets.
Lanwani ii, i tuo ki tieni kasiedi ke i tie yaaba n wuli bi sawalpuaba sɔma bila i.
32 And, ye, fill ye up the measure of your fathers!
I mɔko gbie yeni i yaajanba tuonbiadi i.
Waalaba, walabiada buolu, i ba fidi ki ciadi ku mubuogu yeni li daajuodkaali buudi jiama aa? (Geenna g1067)
34 For this cause, lo! I, send unto you, prophets and wise men and scribes, —some from among them, ye will slay and crucify, And some from among them ye will—scourge in your synagogues, and pursue 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 there may come upon you—all righteous blood poured out upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye murdered between the Temple 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 Verily, I say unto you—All these things, will have come, upon this generation.
N maadi yi i mɔmɔni, ya bona ne kuli ba tieni ya nifiima ne ya yogu i.
37 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that have been sent unto her, —how often, would I have gathered thy children, like as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, —and ye 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 Lo! your house is left to you;
Diidi, a diegu ba tua diegbenli.
39 For I say unto you—in no wise, may ye see me, henceforth, until ye say, Blessed, is he that cometh, 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.”
