< Matthew 23 >

1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
Jisasi'a anante ana vea kevugu'ene, amage nentaza disaipol nagaku anage hu'ne.
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
Kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'ene, Farisi vahe'mo'za, Mosesi kasege kemofonte nemanize.
3 All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.
Ana hu'negu nankna ke'ma tamasmi'sazana, tamagesa antahi ankeretma, tamasmisazaza hiho. Hianagi zamagrama hanaza zana osiho, na'ankure zamagrama rempima huzami'za zana amage' ante'za nosaze.
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.
Zamagra kna'nentake huno erisaga huama'a amuho hu'nea zantmi anakiza vahe zamafunte nentaze. Hu'neanagi zamagra zamazana ante'za zamazankonutira retufe zmage'sa nontahize.
5 But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
Ana mikazama nehzana vahe'mo'za zmagehogu zamagra ana nehaze. Na'ankure zamagra osi nunamu vogisifina mago'a mono kea kre vazite'za, zmazante'ene kokovite'ene anaki'za nofi arente arente zaza kukenare nehaze.
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
Hakare vahe atru hu'za ne'za nenafi kva vahe trate mani'zanku zamavenesi'za, osi mono nompi kva vahe trate manisnaza zanku zame'nesie.
7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
Hagi vahe'mo'za maketi kumapima humusema hunezmante'za, rempi huzami vahere'ma hu'za hanaza'zanku zmenesie.
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
Hu'neanagi tamagrikura rempi huzami vahere hu'za osiho. Na'ankure Rempi hurami'nera Magoke mani'negetma, tamagra ana miko'a kogna mani'naze.
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
Hagi ama mopafina nenfa'e hunka mago'mofonkura osuo, na'ankure tamagrira Magoke Nafa'tmimo monafinka mani'ne.
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
Anazanke hutma kvatie hutma mago nekura osiho. Na'ankure magoke Kva tamia Kraisi mani'ne.
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
Ugagotama tamagri'pima hu'nesnimo'a, tamagri eri'za ne' manino.
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Iza'o agra'ama ante marerisimofona, azeri anteramigahie, iza'o agra'ama anterami'simofona, azeri antesga hugahie.
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.
Hu'neanagi kva hiho, kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'ene, Farisi vahe'mota, tamagi'ari hutma tavre vahe mani'naze. Mona kumapima vunaku haza vahera, tamagra kafa erigita ahenkani renezmantaze. Na'ankure tamagratamia unofretama zamatrage'za ufrenaku'ma haza vahera unofraze.
14 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
[Kva hiho, kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'ene, Farisi vahera tamagi'ari hutma tavre vahe mani'naze. Na'ankure tamagra kento a'nemokizmi havige hunezmanteta nozimine, maka zazimine rezmatga hutma kumzafa eri vaganereta, kefo zama nehaza zantami refitenaku za'za nunamu nehaze. E'i ana'ma nehazagu tusi'a kna erigahaze.]
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 as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Kva hiho, kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'ene, Farisi vahera, tamagiri hutma tavre vahe mani'naze. Mago'mo agu'a akarahe hinogura, tamagra mopafina vanohutma, hagerina taka nehaze. Anama hutma mago'ma nevretma, anamofona tamagra mani'naza avamena ageteretma tarezupa tevemofo mofavre azerinesaze. (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.’
Kva hiho, tamavu suhu kva vahera, tamagra anage nehaze, iza'o ra mono nonte hunteno huvempa haniana, amne zane! Hianagi inamo'o ra mono nompima me'nea golimofo agire'ma huvempa hanimo'a, agrama huvempama hunte'nea kere amage anteno.
17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
Tamavu suhuno neginagi vahe mani'naze! Ina'nazamo tusi'a razana me'ne, goli mopi, hipi ra mono nomo'ma goliretima azeri ruotge hu'nea zamo'e?
18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
Hianagi tamagra anage nehaze, iza'o kre sramnavu itamofonte hunteno, huvempa haniana amne'zane. Hianagi iza'o kre sramnavu itamofo agofetu me'nea ofare hunteno huvempama hanimo'a, huvempama hunte'nea ke'are amage anteno.
19 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
Tamusuhu vahe mani'naze! Ina'nazamo razana me'ne, ofamopi, kre sramnavu itamo ofa azeri ruotgera nehio?
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
E'ina hu'negu, iza'o kre sramnavu itamofonte huvempa hanimo'a, kre sramnavu itare me'neazanku'ene huvempa nehie.
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
Hagi iza'o ra mono nonte'ma huvempama himo'a, anampinkama nemania Anumzante ene huvempa nehie.
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
Iza'o monamofonte huvempa hanimo'a Anumzamofo traku'ene, anantema nemania Anumzanku huvempa nehie.
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.
Kva hiho, kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'ene Farisi vahera, tamagi'ari hutma tavre vahe mani'naze. Na'ankure tamagra migufa'ene, nasene, zonkofea ofa nentaze. Hianagi kasegefima ugagota hu'neazana, fatgo avu'ava huzanki, asunkuzane, ke amage ante'zana tamagena hu'nemize. Hianagi ama zantamine, mago'azama nehaza zane tamagena huomitma amne hugahaze.
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
Tamagra tamuvusuhu kva nagare, havigafa kuko antetma azeri netraze, hianagi kemoli afura asagahu nevazize.
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.
Kva hiho, kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'ene, Farisi vahera, tamagi'ari hutma tavre vahe mani'naze. Na'ankure amega kapumofone, zuompamofona tamagra azeri avusese nehaze. Hianagi zamagu'afina kumzafa'sezane zamagraguke huzamo avitene.
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
Tamavu asuhu Farisi vahekure, pusantera zuompane kapumofona agu'afi sesehugeno, amega avufamo'a anahu kna huno avusese hino.
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.
Kva hiho, kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'ene, Farisi vahera, tamagi'ari hutma tavre vahe mani'naze. Na'ankure tamagra efeke paseteti vahe kerire frentageno amega kerimo'a avusese huno knare'za hiankna nehaze. Hianagi agu'afinka fri vahe'mokizmi zaferinamo'ene avusese osu'nea zantamimo avite'ne.
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
E'inahu kante amega'a vahe zamurera tamagra fatgo huta mani'none nehaze. Hianagi tamagu'afinka tavrema hu'zamo'ene tra kema amage'ma onte'zamo osu'zamo avite'ne.
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
Kva hiho, kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'ene, Farisi vahera, tamagi'ari hutma tavre vahe mani'naze, na'ankure tamagra kasnampa vahe'mokizimi keri tro nehutma, fatgo vahe'mokizmi keri konariri hunentaze.
30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn’t have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
Ana nehutma amanage huta nehaze, korapa tagehezane mani'nona sinifa, tagra anampina ufreta, zamagra'nena kasnampa vahe korana eri megira otro'sine nehaze.
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
Amanahu kema nehazana agafatami hufore hutma, tagra kasnampa vahe'ma zamahe fri'naza vahe'mokizmi zamagehete hutma nehaze.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
Tamagra nermageho'zama hunaza'zana huvagareho.
33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna? (Geenna g1067)
Tamagra osifave, tamagra ha' osifavemofo mofavre zage. Inankna hutma tevefima vugahaze huno huramante'neana maniganegahaze? (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,
E'ina hu'negu keho, Nagra kasnampa vahe'ene, antahi'zane vahe'ma, kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahezaga, huzmantoge'za neaze, mago'amokizimia zamahetma hantigahaze. Mago'amokizmia osi mono'nontamifi zamazeritma nofi knonu sefu nezamitma, rankumate kumate zamazeri haviza hutma vano hugahaze.
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.
Ana'ma hanageno'a mika fatgo vahe ama mopafi zamahageno tagirami'nea koramo mofo kumimo'a tamagrite egahie. Fatgo ne' Eboli koranteti agafa huno Berekaia nemofo Zekaraiama, tamagrama ra mono none, kre sramanavu itamofo amu'nompima ahe fri'naza ne'mofo koramofo knazana tamagra erigahaze.
36 Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
Nagra tamage hu'na neramasmue. Amana knafi vahe'motmage', ama ana knazana erigahaze.
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!
Jerusalemi vahere, Jerusalemi vahere. Kasnampa vahe zamahe nefritma, huzmantege'za tamagritega aza vahera have kanonu zamahe'naze. Nama'a kna mofavre'zagatamia kokoremo anenta'a zaga agekonanu zamazeri atru huno refite zamanteankna hunaku nehuanagi tamagria tamave'nosie.
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
Keho, tamagri ra mono nomo'a, vahera omanigeno megusa avu'ava hie.
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!’”
Na'ankure Nagra neramasmue, meninteti agafa hutma tamagra Nagrira onagetma manime nevuta anage hugahaze. Anumzamofo agifima e'nemofona asomu hunteno huta hugahaze.
