Okuhandi Yezu anacibwîra olubaga n’abaganda bâge, erhi:
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:
2
SHR
«Abashamuka b’ihano n’Abafarizeyi babwârhala oku ntebe ya Mûsa.
BSB
BSB:
“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
3
SHR
“Kuziga ngasi byoshi bammubwîre, mubishimbe munabijire; ci mumanye murhajiraga ebijiro byâbo: bulya banakâderha, ci barhajira”.
BSB
BSB:
So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
4
SHR
“Banakashwêka emizigo mizirho, banayibarhuze abantu, ci okuyidundaganya n’omunwe barhankakulonza”.
BSB
BSB:
They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5
SHR
“Ebijiro byâbo byoshi babijira mpu babonwe n’abantu. Co cirhuma bayambala amahembe manene banasîma emishumi mirîrî”.
BSB
BSB:
All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
6
SHR
“Basîma ebibwârhalo bya burhanzi oku cîbo n’entebe ntanzi omu masinagogi”.
BSB
BSB:
They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,
7
SHR
“Basîma okulamusibwa oku mmâna n’okubwîrwa n’abantu mpu Muyigîriza”.
BSB
BSB:
the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
8
SHR
“Ci mwêhe murhakâg’ilonza bammubwîre mpu Muyigîriza, bulya Omuyigîriza winyu ali muguma, ninyu muli baguma mweshi”.
BSB
BSB:
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9
SHR
“Mumanye murhakâg’ibwîra ndi mpu Larha en’igulu, bulya Sho ali muguma yênene, ye Sho w’empingu”.
BSB
BSB:
And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
10
SHR
“Murhakâg’ilonza bammubwîre mpu Waliha, bulya Nnâhamwinyu ali muguma, ye Kristu”.
BSB
BSB:
Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.

BSB
BSB:
The greatest among you shall be your servant.
12
SHR
“Ngasi wacîkuze, ayish’irhôhibwa, na ngasi wacîrhohye, ayish’ikuzibwa”».

BSB:
For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13
SHR
«Yajowe mweki, bashamuka b’ihano ninyu, ezi ndyâlya zikayigalira abantu Obwâmi bw’empingu! Mumanyire oku murhakabubalalamwo n’abalonza okubujamwo mudwîrhe mwabahanza. [
BSB
BSB:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let in those who wish to enter.
14
SHR
“Muli bahanya, Bashamuka b’ihano ninyu Bafarizeyi, ezi ndyâlya zikaja zalya eby’abakana zanaderha amasala malîmalî. Okwo kwârhume mwayagîrizibwa omu lubanja.]”
BSB
BSB:
Not in the BSB
Not in the earliest manuscripts
15
SHR
“Muli bahanya mwe bashamuka b’ihano ninyu Bafarizeyi, ezi ndyâlya zikahinduka enyanja n’ebihugo mpu zilonze omupagani zayigîriza, na hano zibà zamamubona, zimujire mwâna wa nyenga y’omuliro, mubî kuzilusha”.
BSB
BSB:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You traverse land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
16
SHR
“Muli bahanya mwe balangûzi b’emihûrha mukaderha, mpu”: “Olahîre oku izîno ly’aka-Nyamuzinda erhi ntâco; ci olahîre okw’izîno ly’isholo limuli, agwâsirwe n’endahiro yâge”.
BSB
BSB:
Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’
17
SHR
“Yajowe! abà banyakasirhye n’eyi mihûrha! cici cilushire, isholo erhi aka-Nyamuzinda kalijira litagatîfu?”»
BSB
BSB:
You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?
18
SHR
«Erhi ngasi walahîre oku izîno ly’olutare, erhi ntâco; ci owalahire oku nterekêro erikwo, erhi agwâsirwe n’endahiro yâge».
BSB
BSB:
And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.’
19
SHR
Eyi mihûrha! cici cilushire, erhi enterekêro erhi olutare luyijira ntagatîfu?
BSB
BSB:
You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?
20
SHR
Ci mbona olahira olutare, alulahira alahire n’ebi kuli byoshi.
BSB
BSB:
So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21

Okucigasha ahantu hatagatîfu, kuli kucîgasha ye na kucîgasha Nnaho.
BSB
BSB:
And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.

BSB:
And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.

Muli bahanya mwe bashamuka b’ihano ninyu Bafarizeyi, ezi ndyâlya zikalyûla entûlo y’emento, n’eneto, n’ecimino, mugal’ivuna amarhegeko makulu: okutwa kwinjà olubanja, obwonjo n’okurhalyaliha. Murhegesirwe okujira ebyo byoshi buzira okuleka ebirhanzi.
BSB
BSB:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
24
SHR
Ezi nnongozi mpûrha zidôkôla ehihuka omu mîshi, zigaligorhomera enjavu!
BSB
BSB:
You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25
SHR
Muli bahanya, mwe bashamuka b’ihano ninyu Bafarizeyi, ezi ndyâlya zishuka emugongo gw’akahe n’akazinzi, n’obwo omu nda muyunjwîre bushambo n’obudambi!
BSB
BSB:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
26
SHR
Mufarizeyi w’omuhûrha! orhang’icêsa ehiri omu nda y’akahe n’akazinzi, lyo ehiri emugongo bica.
BSB
BSB:
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.
27
SHR
Muli bahanya, mwe bashamuka b’ihano ninyu Bafarizeyi, ezi ndyâlya zishushire enshinda nyêru: embuga zibonekana nyinjà, n’obwo omu nda ziyunjwîre mavuha g’abafù n’ebibolêreza.
BSB
BSB:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity.
28
SHR
Kwo ninyu abantu bammubona ntyo embuga nka bashinganya, ci omu nda obulyâlya n’obubî bwammuyunjulirîne.
BSB
BSB:
In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29
SHR
Muli bahanya, mwe bashamuka b’ihano ninyu Bafarizeyi, ezi ndyâlya zikayûbaka enshinda z’abalêbi, zinakakombêza ebyûsho by’abanya-bushinganyanya,
BSB
BSB:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.
30
SHR
n’okuderha erhi: «nka rhwaliho amango ga balarha, rhurhankajir’irhigi nabo ry’okubulaga omukò gw’abalêbi».
BSB
BSB:
And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’
31
SHR
Na ntyo munahamîrize mwêne oku muli bagala b’abanigaga abalêbi!
BSB
BSB:
So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.

SHR
Ninyu muyunjuzagye olugero lwa basho!
BSB
BSB:
Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.
33
SHR
Ezi njoka, bûko bwa cibugusha, kurhi mwâfume obuhane bw’enyenga y’omuliro?
BSB
BSB:
You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?
34
SHR
Lêro mushub’ilola: nammurhumira abalêbi, abanya-bushinganya n’abigîriza; ci mwayirhemwo baguma munababambe oku musalaba, n’abandi mubashûrhire emikoba omu masinagogi ginyu, munabashimbûlule omu ngasi cishagala.
BSB
BSB:
Because of this, I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and others you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town.
35
SHR
mpu lyo mubarhuzibwa ngasi mukò mwêru-kwêru gwajire omu budaka, kurhenga omukò mwêrukwêru gw’Abeli kuhika oku mukò gwa Zakariya, mugala wa Barakiya, mwayîrhiraga omu ka-Nyamuzinda embere z’olutare!
BSB
BSB:
And so upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
36

Okuli, mmubwîre, ebyo byoshi byâbarhuzibwa ogu mulala!

Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.

BSB
BSB:
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
38
SHR
Obu mukola mwâlekerwa enyumpa yinyu mushaka.
BSB
BSB:
Look, your house is left to you desolate.

For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
