Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples, saying,
Kungai a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje bhandunji bhagumbelenje na bhaajiganywa bhabho, bhalinkuti.
2 The scholars and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat.
Bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo bhashipegwanga ukulungwa gwa shitengu sha a Musha.
3 All things therefore, however many they may tell you to observe, observe and do, but do not ye according to their works, for they say, and do not.
Kwa nneyo nkamulanje na tenda shoshowe shishibhannugulilanje. Ikabheje nnakaguyanje itendi yabhonji, pabha bhakaatendanga malinga shibhaajiganyanga.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and difficult to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders, but they do not want to move them with their finger.
Bhanatabhanga mishigo ja topa nikwaatwikanga bhandunji mmakoyo, ikabheje ashaayenenji bhakapinganga kujangutila nkali kwa lukowe.
5 But all their works they do in order to be seen by men. And they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the hems of their garments.
Bhanatendanga itendi yabhonji nkupinga bhalolwanje na bhandunji. Bhanawalanga mabhadili gamakulungwa pa shenyi na mmakono gajandikwe Shalia na leupya mbundo ya pai ya nngubho yabhonji.
6 And they love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Bhanaapinganga tama mwiitengu ya mmujo nkalamu na mmashinagogi.
7 and the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be designated by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Bhanapinganga kukomaywa kwa jogopekwa kushoko na bhanapinganga shemwa na bhandunji, Bhaajiganya.
8 But be ye not designated Rabbi, for one is your leader, the Christ, and ye are all brothers.
Ikabheje mmanganyanji nnashemwanje, Bhaajiganya, pabha bhaajiganya bhenunji bhamope, na mmanganya mmowe malinga bhandu bha lutumbo lumo.
9 And do not designate a father of you upon the earth, for one is your Father, he in the heavens.
Wala nnanshemanje mundu jojowe, Atati, pa shilambolyo, pabha Ainabhenunji bhamope, bhali kunnungu.
10 And be ye not designated leaders, for one is your leader, the Christ.
Wala nnashemwanje, Ashikalongolele, pabha kalongolele jwenunji jumope, ni a Kilishitu.
11 But the greater of you will be your helper.
Ali jwankulungwa munkumbi gwenunji anapinjikwa abhe ntumishi jwenunji.
12 And he who will exalt himself will be made low, and he who will make himself low will be exalted.
Jojowe akwiikuya apinga nyegaywa, na akwiinyegaya apinga kuywa.
13 Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye close up the kingdom of the heavens ahead of men. For ye enter not in, nor do ye allow those who are entering to enter in.
Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Pabha nnakwaugalilanga bhandunji nnango gwa Upalume gwa Kunnungu, mwaashayenenji nkajinjilanga, na wala bhapinganga jinjila bhala nkakwaalekanga bhajinjilangane.
14 But woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye devour widows' houses, and praying long in pretence. Because of this ye will receive greater condemnation.
Ole gwenunji mmaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo bhagulumba! Pabha nnapokonyolanga nyumba ya bhashitenga na nnajuganga Nnungu kwa leupya, nkupinga mmonekananje kubhandu kuti mmambonenji, kwa nneyo shinng'ukumulwanje kupunda bhananji.
15 Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye encompass the sea and the land to make one proselyte, and when it happens, ye make him twice more a son of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Nnaowanga mmashi na pa litaka nkupinga mumpatanje mundu shakagule dini jenunji. Mumpatangaga, nnakuntendanga mwana jwa ku Jeanamu pabhili kupunda mwaashayenenji. (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe to you, ye blind guides, who say, Whoever may swear by the temple, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.
Ole gwenunji ashikalongolele nangalole! Mmanganya nkutinji mundu alumbilaga kwa lina lya liekalu, kwene kulumbilako nngabha shindu, ikabheje alumbilaga kwa shaabhu ili nniekalu, kwene lumbilako kunakuntabha.
17 Ye foolish and blind men, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
Mmanganya ashikalongolele bhangumba! Shei shipundile, shaabhu eu liekalu litenda jene shaabhujo jibhe ja ukonjelo?
18 And, Whoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by the gift upon it, he is obligated.
Kabhili nnkutinji kuti mundu alumbilaga kwa shitala nngabha shindu, ikabheje alumbilaga kwa mbepei ibhishilwe pa shitala, kwene lumbilako kunakuntabha.
19 Ye foolish and blind men, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
Mmanganya ashinangalole! Shei shipundile, upo ila, eu shitala shitenda mbepeiyo ibhe ya ukonjelo?
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all things on it.
Alumbila kwa shitala analumbila kwa shitala, na kwa indu yowe ili pa shitala.
21 And he who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
Na alumbila ku liekalu ashilumbila ku liekalu na kwa bhatama nkati bhala.
22 And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits upon it.
Na alumbila kunnungu ashilumbila ku shitengu sha Upalume gwa a Nnungu, na bhaatama panani jakwe.
23 Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye tithe the mint and the anise and the cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law-justice and mercy and faith. These things must be done, and not neglecting those things.
Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Nnashoyanga lipungu lya kumi, nkali maamba ga mmboga, bhishali na tindi, akuno nnilekanga indu ya mana ya Shalia malinga, aki na shiya na ngulupai. Genega gumpinjilwenje kugabhika mmitima gwangali kulibhala gana.
24 Ye blind guides, who strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel.
Ashikalongolele nangalole! Nnashoyanga libhembe, ikabheje nimila ngamia, nnyama jwankulungwa.
25 Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but inside they are full of plunder and unrighteousness.
“Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Mmanganya nninginji malinga mundu aukanga ikombe na bhakuli kua, ikabheje nkati mugumbele indu impatilenje kwa pokonyola na shojo.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, so that the outside of them may also become clean.
Mmwe a Palishayo nangalole! Nng'ukanje oti shikombe nkati na kua shikukonje.
27 Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye are like whitewashed tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
“Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Puninginji mbuti likabhuli lipashilwe shokaa, kwa palanga linabhoneka kukonja, ikabheje nkati kushigumbala maupa ga bhawilenje na ikoko yaigwinji.
28 In this way also, ye indeed outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside ye are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Nneyo peyo mmanganya nnabhonekanga na bhandunji mbuti nkwetenje aki, ikabheje nkati nshigumbalanga ugulumba na ungamanyika.
29 Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the sepulchers of the righteous,
“Ole gwenunji bhaajiganya bha Shalia na Mapalishayo, mmagulumba! Nnashenjelanga makabhuli ga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu na konjeleya makabhuli ga bhandunji bhakwetenje aki.
30 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.
Nnikutinji, ‘Monaga uwe tukapali bhukala ja ashinakulu bhetu, tukanakunde kwaabhulaganga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu!’
31 So then ye testify to yourselves that ye are sons of those who murdered the prophets.
Kwa nneyo, nnakong'ondelanga mwaashayenenji kuti mmanganya bha ulongo gwa bhaabhulegenje ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu.
32 Then fill ye up the measure of your fathers.
Bhai, mmaliyanje liengo libhatandubhenje bhanyikala bhenunji lila.
33 Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how will ye escape from the damnation of hell? (Geenna g1067)
Mmanganya nninginji malinga majoka, bhana bha majoka! Shinnjikubhutukanje bhuli ukumu ja ku Jeanamu? (Geenna g1067)
34 Because of this, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scholars. And some of them ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will persecute from city to city,
Pabha nnolanje, nne ngunakumpeleshelanga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, bhandunji bhakwetenje lunda na bhaajiganya bha Shalia. Bhananji nkupinga kwaabhulaganga na kwaakomelanga munshalabha bhananji, shimwaakomanje ibhoko mmashinagogi genunji na kwaabhinganga shilambo kwa shilambo.
35 so that upon 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 ye murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.
Kwa nneyo kugambwa kowe shikung'ishilanje kwa ligongo lya minyai ja bhandunji bhakwetenje aki jijitishile pa litaka. Elo, tandubhila kubhulagwa kwa a Abheli bhaaliji bhanguja, mpaka kubhulagwa kwa a Shakalia bhanabhabho a Bhalakiya, bhumwaabhulegenje ku liekalu pakati shitala na liekalu.
36 Truly I say to you, that all these things will come upon this generation.
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, lwene lubhelekolu lupinga ukumulwa kwa ligongo lya genego.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who have been sent to her. How often I wanted to gathered thy children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and ye would not.
“Ugwe Yelushalemu, Ugwe Yelushalemu! Ukwaabhulaganga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, na kwaakomanga maganga mpaka kuwa bhatumilwenje kunngwako bhala. Palingwa njilinga kwaakundikanyanga ashibhanago, malinga nanunu jwa nnguku shakuti kwiigutamila yana yakwe, ikabheje gwaangapinga.
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
Bhai nnoje, nyumba jako shijibhe liame na ushubha.
39 For I say to you, ye will, no, not see me henceforth, until ye say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Pabha, nkamonanga kabhili mpaka pushimmeleketanje, ‘Apegwe mboka jwene akwiya kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa.’”
