Mathayo 23
1 Mbe niwo Yesu naika na liijo na bhweigisibhwa bhae naika ati,
Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes, and to his disciples,
2 “Abhandiki na Bhafalisayo bheyanjie echitebhe cha Musa.
saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses.
3 Mbe emisango jone jinu abhabhabhwila mujikole nokujigwata. Nawe mutakukolaga lwakutyo abhene abhakola, kubha okwaika abhaika nawe bhatakukola.
All, therefore, whatever they bid you, do and observe; but do not according to their works; for they say, and do not.
4 Nchimali, abhobhoya migugu misito jinu jitakwitwikwa, nibhajitwikya abhanu kumabhega. Nawe abhene bhatakwenda kujinamusha na Chala chebhwe.
They bind heavy burdens, and lay them on men's shoulders, and will not themselves move them with a finger.
5 Ebhikolwa bhwebhye bhyona, abhabhikola abhanu bhabhilole. Okubha abhagaliya amasandikwa gebhwe no kwongesha obhunene bhwe bhifwalo.
And all their works they do to be observed by men. They make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge their fringes,
6 Ka abhenda obhwinyanjo bhwa imbele kumalya na kubhitebhe bhye chibhalo mu mekofyanyisho.
and love the first place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 No kukesibhwa mumagulilo, no kutogwa na bhanu ati “Labhi” (bheigisha).
and salutations in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
8 Nawe emwe mutatogwa “bheigisha”. Okubha omwiigisha wemwe ni umwi. Na nemwe bhona muli bhanda imwi.
But be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your teacher; and ye are all brethren.
9 Mwasiga kumutoga munu wona wona ku chalo ati esomwana, okubha munage esomwana umwila, niwe ali mulwile.
And call no one your father on the earth; for one is your father, he who is in heaven.
10 Nawe mwasiga kutogwa “Bheigisha” Okubha munage Mwiigisha umwila niwe Kristo.
Nor be ye called leaders; for one is your leader, the Christ.
11 Tali unu ali mukulu agati yemwe abhe mukosi wemwe.
But the greatest among you will be your servant.
12 Wona wona unu kekusha alikeibhwa. Na unu wona kekeya alikisibhwa.
And whoever shall exalt himself will be humbled; and whoever shall humble himself will be exalted.
13 Nawe jilibhabhona abhandiki na Mafarisayo, bhalulimi omubhegalila abhanu Obhukama bhwa mulwile. Ka nemwe mutakwingila, Ka mutakubhekilisha abho abhengila abhengila okukola kutyo.
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites I because ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for ye go not in yourselves, nor suffer those who are entering to go in.
14 (Komelesha: olugobho olwa 14 lutakubhonekana mu maandiko ga kisi aga kala. Agandi aga maandiko jongesishe olungobho lunu 12. olugobho lwa 14 “jilibhabhona abhandiki na bhafarisayo bhalulimi! Okubha omubhamila abhatumbagasi”).
15 Nawe jilibhabhona abhandiki na bhafarisayo, bhalulimi! omwambuka ku chalo na munyanja kukinga okumuchusha omunu umwi ekilishe ganu omwiigisha, akamala okubha lwemwe nimumukola lwa kabhili kubha mwana wa mumulilo gunyatasima lwemwe abhene kutyo muli. (Geenna g1067)
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, ye make him two-fold mole a son of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 Jilibhabhona emwe abhatangasha bhaofu, bhanu omwaika ati, omunu wona unu alalailaga mu iyekalu, Iyekalu chitali chinu. Nawe unu alalailaga ku ijaabhu ya Muyekalu abhoyelwe na libhaja lyaye.
Woe to you, blind guides, that say, Whoever sweareth by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever sweareth by the gold of the temple, is bound.
17 Emwe bhaofu na abhatamu-tamu okubha echikulu ni chiya, Ijaabhu Angu Iyekalu linu liteyemo echogo ijaabhu ku Nyamuanga?
Fools and blind I for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 Lindi, wone wone unu kalailila kuchoto Cho okugabhilila chitali chinu, nawe unu kalailila echiyanwa chinu chili ingulu yaye, abhoyelwe na libhanja lyaye.
And, Whoever sweareth by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, is bound.
19 Emwe abhanu abhaofu, echikulu ni chiya kuchindi, echiyanwa tele echoto echo echitao okwesha ebhiyanwa bhinu ebhisosibhwa ku Nyamuanga?
Blind men! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar flint sanctifieth the gift?
20 Nawe unu kalaila ku choto kalaila kwicho na kubhinu bhyone bhinu bhili ingulu yacho.
He then who sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that is upon it;
21 Na unu kalaila ku Iyekalu, kalaila kwilyo na kumwene unu aikayemo.
and he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him who dwelleth in it;
22 Na unu kalaila kulwile, kalaila ku chitebhe cho bhutelo echa Nyamuanga no mwene unu enyanjile ingulu yacho.
and he who sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him who sitteth thereon.
23 Jilibhabhona, emwe abhandiki na abhafarisayo, bhalulimi! Kulwo kubha omusosha omugabho gwa likumi gwe bhilungo, Mnaanaa no muchicha, nawe mwasigile emisango emikulu ejebhilagilo, ejo kulema okwitililanya, nechigongo no kwikilisha. Nawe bhinu bhiile okubhikola na mutasiga agandi mutagakumisishe.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithes of the mint, and the dill, and the cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the Law, justice, and mercy, and faith; these ought ye to have done, and not to leave those undone.
24 Emwe bhatangasha bhaofu, omusekesha akasami nawe nimumila ingamia!
Blind guides! who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Jilibhabhona, emwe abhandiki na bhafarisayo, bhalulimi! okubha omwosha anja ye bhikombe na anja ya isaani, kenu Munda bhijuye obhusakusi no kulema okwibhalilila.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and the platter, but within they are full of robbery and licentiousness.
26 Emwe Mafarisayo abhaofu tangata okwamba mwoshe Munda ye bhikombe na Munda isaani koleleki anja one bhibhe bhelu.
Blind Pharisee! cleanse first the inside of the cup, that its outside side also may become clean.
27 Jilibhabhona abhene, abhandik na abhfarisayo, bhalumi! okubha omususana ne ebhitulo bhinu bhipambilwe ichokaa, anja yabyo ebhibhonekana bhikondele nawe, Munda bhijuye amawa gabhafuye bhuli chinu chili chijabhi.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whited sepulchres, which outwardly indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Niko kutyo, emwe one ingulu omubhonekana ati muli bhalengelesi ku bhanu, nawe Munda mwijuye olulimi no bhwikoti. jibhabhona emwe, abhandiki na Bhafarisayo,
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 bhalulimi! okubha omumbaka ebhitulo bhya bhalangi nimuchuma ebhitulo bhya bhalengelesi.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous,
30 Emwe omwaika ati, chibha chikaye musiku jabhajaji weswe, chitakabhee chisangie amwi nabho okwitila jisagama ja Bhalangi.
and 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 Nikwo kutyo omwibhula abhene ati emwe mulibhana bhabhanu bhetilwe abhalangi.
So that ye bear witness against yourselves, that ye are the sons of those who killed the prophets.
32 Mbe emwe one omwikuisha okwijusha idengo inu iile echikayo chabhesomwana.
Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers!
33 Emwe jinjoka, abhana bhajimili, muliluka kutiki intambala ya indamu ya omulilo gunu gutalisima? (Geenna g1067)
Serpents, brood of vipers! how can ye escape the punishment of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Lola nikwo, enikola, nibatumila Abhalangi, abhanu abho bhwengeso na bhandiki. abhandi mwabho omubheta no kubhabhamba abhandi mwabho mulibhabhuma Munda ya mekofyanyisho gemwe no kubhabhamba okusoka mumusi gumwi okuja mugundi.
Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; some of them ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city;
35 Chinu chililubhila ingulu yemwe mwijilwe amanyinga gone agabhalengelesi ganu getikile kuchalo, okwambila isagama ya Abeli omulengilesi okukinga kusangama ya Jakalia omwana wa Balanki a unu mwetie agati yaiyekalu nechoto chokugabhilila.
that on you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye slew, between the temple and the altar.
36 Nichimali enibhabhwila ati amagambo ganu gone agalubhona olwibhulo lunu.
Truly do I say to you, All these things will come upon this generation.
37 Yelusalemu, Yelusalemu, awe unu owitinga Abhalangi no kubhalasa na mabhui bhalia abhatumwa kwawe! nikwia kalinga enibhakumanya abhana bhao amwi lwain'goko eikumanya obhana Koko emwalo ya mabhabha gayo, nawe atekilisishe!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Lola, inyumba yao yasigala elugu.
Lo! your house is left to you desolate.
39 Lola enikubhwila ati, okwambila oli nokugendelela utalisubha kundola okukinga lunu ulyaika, analibhando unu alija kwisina lya Latabhugenyi.”
For I say to you, Ye will not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
