1Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples,
1 Gannaaw loolu Yeesu waxoon na mbooloo ma ak taalibeem ya ne leen:
2saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses seat:
2 «Xutbakat ya ak Farisen ya ñu ngi toog ci jalu Musaa.
3all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, [these] do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.
3 Lépp lu ñu leen wax nag, defleen ko te sàmm ko, waaye buleen roy seeni jëf, ndaxte dañuy wax waaye duñu ko jëfe.
4Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
4 Dañuy takk say yu diis, yen leen ci nit ñi, waaye duñu ko nangoo laal sax ak seen cati baaraam.
5But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders [of their garments],
5 Dañuy def seeni jëf yépp, ngir nit ñi gis leen, di takk ay téere yu réy, tey réyal seeni laari mbubb.
6and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
6 Ca reeri xew yi, toogu yu yiw lañuy taamu, tey féete kanam ca jàngu ya.
7and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.
7 Dañoo bëgg ñépp nuyoo leen ñaari loxo ca pénc ma, di leen wooye “Kilifa gi.”
8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren.
8 Waaye yéen buñu leen wooye “Kilifa gi,” ndaxte kenn rekk moo di seen Kilifa, te yéen ñépp ay bokk ngeen.
9And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, [even] he who is in heaven.
9 Te buleen tudde kenn seen “baay” ci àddina, ndaxte kenn rekk moo di seen Baay, ki ci kaw.
10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, [even] the Christ.
10 Buñu leen tudde it ay “njiit,” ndaxte kenn rekk moo di seen Njiit, mooy Kirist.
11But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
11 Ki gën a mag ci yéen mooy ki nangoo nekk seen surga.
12And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
12 Kuy yékkatiku, dees na la suufeel; kuy suufeelu, ñu yékkati la.
13But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter[.]
13 «Yéen xutbakat yi ak Farisen yi, naaféq yi, dingeen torox! Ndaxte yéena ngi tëj nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji ci kanamu nit ñi; yéen dungeen ci dugg, te dungeen bàyyi ku ci bëgg a dugg, mu dugg ci.
14Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, even while for a pretence ye make long prayers: therefore ye shall receive greater condemnation.
15 «Yéen xutbakat yi ak Farisen yi, naaféq yi, dingeen torox! Ndaxte yéena ngi wër géej ak suuf, ngir sàkku benn taalibe, ba noppi ngeen def ko nitu safara, ku leen yées ñaari yoon.
15Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.
16 «Yéen njiit yu gumba yi, dingeen torox! Yéena ngi wax ne: “Ku giñe kër Yàlla gi, ngiñ li duggul, waaye ku giñ ci wurusu kër Yàlla gi, dugg na.”
16Woe unto you, ye blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.
17 Yéen ñi dof te gumba! Lan moo gën a màgg, wurus wi walla kër Yàlla, gi tax wurus wi sell?
17Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold?
18 Dangeen ne it: “Ku giñe saraxalukaay bi ci kër Yàlla gi, ngiñ li duggul, waaye ku giñ ci sarax si ci kawam, dugg na.”
18And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor.
19 Gumba yi! Lan moo gën a màgg, sarax si walla saraxalukaay bi tax sarax si sell?
19Ye blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Ku giñe saraxalukaay bi, giñ nga ci saraxalukaay bi ak li ci kawam lépp.
20He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 Ku giñe kër Yàlla gi, giñ nga ci kër Yàlla gi ak Ki ci dëkk.
21And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 Ku giñ ci asamaan, giñ nga ci jalu Buur Yàlla ak Ki ci toog.
22And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23 «Yéen xutbakat yi ak Farisen yi, naaféq yi, dingeen torox! Ndaxte yéena ngi sàkk asaka ci naana ak anet ak kumin, te sàggane yi gën a màgg ci yoonu Musaa, maanaam njub, yërmande ak ngëm. Loolu ngeen war a def, waxuma nag ngeen bàyyi la ca des.
23Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.
24 Yéen njiit yu gumba yi! Yéena ngi segg wallax-njaan, tey wann giléem.
24Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel!
25 «Yéen xutbakat yi ak Farisen yi, naaféq yi, dingeen torox! Ndaxte yéena ngi setal bitib kaas bi ak ndab li, waaye ci biir dafa fees ak càcc ak ëppal.
25Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess.
26 Farisen yu gumba yi! Jëkkleen a setal biir kaas bi ak ndab li, ngir biti bi itam set.
26Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also.
27 «Yéen xutbakat yi ak Farisen yi, naaféq yi, dingeen torox! Ndaxte yéena ngi mel ni bàmmeel yu ñu weexal. Ci biti am nañu melo wu rafet, waaye ci biir dañoo fees ak yaxi ñi dee ak tilim ju nekk.
27Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Yéen itam, ci ngistal dangeen a mel ni ñu jub, waaye ci seen biir dangeen fees ak naaféq ak lu bon.
28Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 «Yéen xutbakat yi ak Farisen yi, naaféq yi, dingeen torox! Ndaxte yéena ngi tabax xabruy yonent yi, tey rafetal bàmmeeli ñu jub ñi.
29Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and garnish the tombs of the righteous,
30 Te yéena ngi wax ne: “Bu nu fekke woon sunu jamonoy maam, dunu ànd ak ñoom ciy tuur deretu yonent yi.”
30and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Seede ngeen nii ne, yey ngeen seen bopp, te yéenay doomi ñi doon rey yonent yi,
31Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets.
32 di aw seen tànki baay, ba yées leen sax.
32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Yéen ñi mel ni ay jaan, te fees ak daŋar niy co, naka ngeen di mucce mbugalu safara?
33Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell?
34 Moo tax maa ngi leen di yónnee ay yonent ak ay boroom xam-xam ak ay xutbakat. Ñenn ñi dingeen leen rey te daaj leen ci bant; ñeneen ñi dingeen leen dóor ay yar ci seeni jàngu, di leen fitnaal ci dëkkoo-dëkk.
34Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
35 Noonu deretu ñi jub, ji ñu tuur jépp ci àddina, dina xëppu ci seen kaw, li dale ci deretu Abel mi jub, ba ci deretu Sakariya doomu Baraki, mi ngeen rey ci diggante bérab bu sell bi ak saraxalukaay bi.
35that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar.
36 Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, loolu lépp dina dal ci niti jamono jii.
36Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 «Yerusalem, Yerusalem, yaw miy rey yonent yi, tey sànni ay doj ndaw yi, ba ñu dee, aka maa bëggoon a dajale say doom, ni ginaar di uufe ay cuujam, te nanguwuleen!
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Kon nag Yàlla dina bërgël seen kër, ba mu gent.
38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 Ndaxte maa ngi leen koy wax, dungeen ma gisati li dale tey, ba kera ngeen ne: “Yaw miy ñëw ci turu Boroom bi, ku barkeel nga!”»
39For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
