ZAJP
Abaho, Yesu kalonga na didale da wanhu na wanahina zake,
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:
2
ZAJP
“Wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na Mafalisayo wana udaho wa kugatapita Malagizo ga Musa.
BSB
BSB:
“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
3
ZAJP
Avo, gatendeni na kugagoga gaja gose gowowafundiza mweye, ila sambimtende vija vowotenda hewo, kwavija hewo hawagatenda gaja gowofundiza.
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
ZAJP
Wowafungila wanhu mibahasha mikulu na kuwadikwa mmaega, ila hewo wenyego hawalonda hata kugolosa kidole waipape.
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
ZAJP
Wotenda mbuli zao zose giladi woneke na wanhu. Avo, wofudika mifundo mikulu mgati yandikigwe Nyandiko za Malagizo ga Musa uchana mwa ikihanga na mmakono! Na wokwika minyemvule mitali ng'hani mmikanzu yao!
BSB
BSB:
All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
6
ZAJP
Wonogelwa kukala m'vigoda va haulongozi mulusona na kukala m'vigoda va haulongozi mzing'anda za nhambiko,
BSB
BSB:
They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,
7
ZAJP
na kulamsigwa na hishima mmasoko na kukemigwa, ‘Mkulufunzi.’
BSB
BSB:
the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
8
ZAJP
Ila mweye sambimkemigwe ‘Mkulufunzi,’ kwavija muna mkulufunzi imwe, na mweye mose mwa kinhu kimwe kamba ndugu.
BSB
BSB:
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9
ZAJP
Na sambimumkeme munhu yoyose ‘tata’ muisi, kwavija Tataenu iyo imwe yali kuulanga.
BSB
BSB:
And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
10
ZAJP
Ama sambimkemigwe ‘Vilangizi,’ kwavija muna kilangizi imwe, iyo Kilisto.
BSB
BSB:
Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.
11
ZAJP
Yali mkulu mmwanza wenu yawe mtumigwa wenu.
BSB
BSB:
The greatest among you shall be your servant.
12
ZAJP
Ila yoyose yokiinula kohumuluswa, na yoyose yokiihumulusa kokwinuligwa.
BSB
BSB:
For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13
ZAJP
“Mojona, wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na Mafalisayo, mweye videlenya! Moluhinda lwivi lwa Undewa wa Kuulanga haulongozi wa wanhu, na mweye wenyego hamwingila ama hamuwatogoza kwingila waja wolonda kwingila!
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
ZAJP
Mojona, wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na Mafalisayo, mweye videlenya! Mowabulunya vizuka na kutenda nhambiko nhali za uzenzeleganye. Avo nhaguso yenu yowa ng'hulu ng'hani!
BSB
BSB:
Not in the BSB
Not in the earliest manuscripts
15
ZAJP
“Mojona, wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na Mafalisayo, videlenya! Mofunga mwanza kuchola muisi inyalile na m'bahali giladi kumzahila munhu imwe yawinze nhamanila yenu. Na muhampata, momtenda yawe mwana wa kuzimu mianza mibili kubanza mweye wenyego.
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
ZAJP
“Mojona, vilangizi vimbugumbugu! Mweye mulonga, ‘Ihawa munhu yahaiduilila Ng'anda ya Mulungu, jaga bule. Ila munhu yahaiduilila zahabu ya muna Ing'anda ya Mulungu, kakiifunga na ikiduilo chake.’
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
ZAJP
Mweye vimbugumbugu wabozi! Kilihi kili kikulu, izahabu ama Ing'anda ya Mulungu iitenda izahabu ing'ale?
BSB
BSB:
You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?
18
ZAJP
Vivija mulonga, ‘Ihawa munhu yahaiduilila kilingo cha kulavila nhosa, jaga bule. Ila munhu yahaiduilila nhunza ili hachana ya ikilingo hicho, kakiifunga na ikiduilo chake.’
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
ZAJP
Mweye vimbugumbugu! Kilihi kili kikulu, inhunza ama ikilingo cha kulavila nhosa kiitenda inhunza ing'ale?
BSB
BSB:
You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?
20
ZAJP
Avo, heyo yoiduilila ikilingo cha kulavila nhosa, kaiduilila ikilingo hicho hamoja na kila kinhu kili hachana yake.
BSB
BSB:
So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21
ZAJP
Na heyo yoiduilila Ng'anda ya Mulungu, kaiduilila Ing'anda hiyo hamoja na Mulungu yokala himo.
BSB
BSB:
And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.
22
ZAJP
Na heyo yoiduilila ulanga, kakiiduilila kigoda cha undewa cha Mulungu hamoja na ija yakikalile.
BSB
BSB:
And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.
23
ZAJP
“Mojona, wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na Mafalisayo, videlenya! Kwavija molava zaka za vinhu va kulungila mandia na mboga kamba vija matepo ga kunung'hila, binzali, na jila. Ila muleka mafundo makulu ga Malagizo ga Musa, kamba vija bazi, nhamanila, na kuwa bule uzenzeleganye. Gano gago mulondigwa kutenda, na bila kuleka gaja gayagwe.
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
ZAJP
Mweye vilangizi vimbugumbugu! Molenguza nzuguni, ila momeza ngamia!
BSB
BSB:
You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25
ZAJP
“Mojona, wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na Mafalisayo, videlenya! Mweye mwa kamba munhu yosuluza hanze ya kikasi na sahani, ila mgati vimema vinhu m'vipatile muubavi na ugila.
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
ZAJP
Gweye Mfalisayo kimbugumbugu! Tanhu suluza mgati mwa ikikasi, abaho, vivija na hanze chong'ala!
BSB
BSB:
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.
27
ZAJP
“Mojona, wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na Mafalisayo, videlenya! Kwavija mulinga na mapanga gabakazigwe chokaa, hanze gokoneka mazelu ila mgati gamema mizege na vinhu vose vihile.
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
ZAJP
Vivo na mweye, kunze mokoneka na wanhu kamba mnoga, ila mgati mmema udelenya na mbuli zihile.
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
ZAJP
“Mojona, wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na Mafalisayo, videlenya! Mozenga mapanga ga wahokozi na kugahamba mapanga ga wanhu wanogile.
BSB
BSB:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.
30
ZAJP
Abaho, molonga, ‘Kamba tuhawile baho mkipigiti hicho cha wahenga zetu, sambituilumbe nao mkuwakoma wahokozi.’
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
ZAJP
Avo, mweye wenyego mosindila kamba mweye mwa lukolo lwa wanhu waja wawakomile wahokozi!
BSB
BSB:
So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
32
ZAJP
Avo, mambukizileni gaja gawasongile wahenga zenu!
BSB
BSB:
Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.
33
ZAJP
Mweye nyoka, wana wa nyoka! Moikimbila vilihi nhaguso ya kuzimu?
BSB
BSB:
You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?
34
ZAJP
Avo, nowalagizila wahokozi, wanhu wali na nzewele, na wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa. Ila wayagwe mowakoma na kuwawamba mumsalaba, na wayagwe mowalanha mbalati mzing'anda zenu za nhambiko na kuwawinga kulawa kiwambo kimwe mbaka kiwambo kiyagwe.
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
ZAJP
Nhaguso ya mulopa wa wanhu wose watendile ganogile muisi iwapate mweye, kulawa mulopa wa Abeli mbaka mulopa wa Zakalia, mwanage Balakia, mumkomile hagatigati ya Ing'anda ya Mulungu na ikilingo cha kulavila nhosa.
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
ZAJP
Nowalongela ikweli, nhaguso ya wakomaji wano wose yowapata wanhu wa mulelo uno!
BSB
BSB:
Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37
ZAJP
“Yelusalemu, Yelusalemu! Gweye uwakoma wahokozi na kuwatoa na mabwe waja watumigwe kumwako! Mianza mingahi nilonda kuwakunzanya hamoja wanago kamba nguku viyowafagatila wanage hasi ya mbawa zake, ila hutogole!
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
ZAJP
Na ng'anda yako yolekigwa na yowa ukiwa.
BSB
BSB:
Look, your house is left to you desolate.
39
ZAJP
Nokulongela, hunyona nie kabili mbaka vondaulonge, ‘Kamota ayo yokwiza mditwaga da Mndewa.’ ”
BSB
BSB:
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.’”
