1 Baadaye akalongela ni bhumati bhwa bhanafunzi bha muene ni bhanu. Akajobha, 2 “Bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo bhitamila kiti kya Musa. 3 Henu kyokyoha khela kyabhakaa munu kubhomba, mubhombayi khoni mukabhachungusya. Lakini msijhesi matendo gha bhene, kwa ndabha bhene bhitamka mambo gha bhibhomba lepi. 4 Kweli, bhene bhikhonga misighu ghyaghitopa ambaghyo ni figumu kup'henda, na kisha bhakabhap'endesya bhanu mu mabega gha bhene. Lakini bhene bhihegelesya lepi hata kikonji kujhip'henda. 5 Matendo ghoha agha ghakaghabhomba ili bhalangibhuajhi ni bhanu. Kwa ndabha bhene bhipanula masanduku gha bhene na bhijhongesya mapindo gha mavazi gha bhene. 6 Bhene bhip'hendelela kutama maeneo gha kifahari mu sherehe ni mu fiti fya heshima mugati mu masinagogi, 7 ni kusalimibhwa kwa heshima maeneo gha pa soko, ni kukutibhwa “Bhalimu” ni bhanu. 8 Lakini muenga mwilondeka lepi kukutibhwa “Bhalimi,” kwa ndabha mujhenaku Mwalimu mmonga tu, yaani Kristu na muenga mwebhoha lukholo. 9 Musin'kuti munu jhojhioha jhola pa duniani apa kujha dadi jhinu, kwa kujha myenaku dadi yinu, mmonga tu, nu muene ajhele kumbinguni. 10 Bhwala musihidi kukutibhwa 'bhalimu,' kwa kujha mjhenaku Mwalimu tu, yaani Kristu. 11 Bali jhaajhe mbaha mugati mwa muenga ibetakujha n'tumishib ghwa muenga. Jhejhioha jhola jhaikwikuesya ibetaselesibhwa. 12 Na jhejhioha jha ibetakwiselesya ibetakukwesibhwa. 13 Lakini ole bhwinu bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo, bhanafiki! Mkabhafungila bhanu bhufalme bhwa mbinguni. Namu mwibhwesya lepi kujhingila, na mkabharuhusu lepi bha bhijhingila kubhomba aghu. 14 * Zingatilayi: N'sitari ghwa 14 ghwibhonekana lepi mu nakala bora sya lukhombi. Baadhi sya nakala sijhongesya nsitari obho baada jha n'sitari ghwa 12. N'sitari ghwa 14 “Ole bhinu bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo bhanafiki! Kwa kujha mkabhamila bhajane”). 15 Mwilobhoka kwiselya jha bahari ni kufika kummbomba munu mmonga jhaiamini ghala gha mughamanyisi, na paijha kama muenga, mwibhomba mara mbili mwana ghwa jehanamu kama muenga mwebhene kyamujhele. 16 Ole bhinu muenga bhalongosi bhabhilola lepi, muenga mwijobha, Jhejhioha jha ilapa ku lihekalu khenu lepi. Lakini jhailapa kwa dhabahu jha hekalu, afungibhu kwa kiapo kya muene. 17 Muenga fipofu bhapumbafu, kheleku kibhaha kuliko khenge, dhahabu au lihekalu ambalyo libhabhekili bhakfu dhahabu kwa K'yara? 18 Na, j'hejhioha jhailapa kwa madhabahu, khenu lepi. Bali jhailapa kwa sadaka jhaijhele panani pa muene, afungibhu ni kiapo kya muene. 19 Muenga bhanu fipofu, khelekhu kibhaha kuliko khenge, sadaka au madhabahu ambagho ghibheka bhakfu sadaka syasipisibhwa kwa K'yara? 20 Henu, muene jhailapa kwa madhabahu ilapa kwa ejhu ni kwa fenu fyoha fyafijhele panani pa muene. 21 Nu muene jhailapa kwa hekalu, ilapa kwa elu na kwa muene jhaitama mugati mwa muene. 22 Nu muene jhailapa kwa mbingu, ilapa kwa kya enzi kya K'yara ni kwa muene jhaitama kunani kwa muene. 23 Ole bhinu, bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo, bhanafiki! Kwa kujha mwilepa zaka kwa bizali, mnaanaa ni nchicha, lakini mwilepa mambo masitu gha sheria- haki, rehema, ni imani. Lakini agha mwilondeka kujha mughabhombili, na siyo kuleka ghangi bila kughatekelesya. 24 Muenga bhalongosi fipofu, muenga ambabho mwichuja lenu lidusu mwimila ngamia! 25 Ole bhinu, bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo, bhanafiki kwa kujha mwisuka kwibhala ku fikombe ni kwibhala ku sahani, lakini mugati mumemili dhuluma ni kutokujha ni kiasi. 26 Muenga Mafarisayo fipofu, musukayi hoti mugati mu kikombi ni musahani, ili lubhafu lwa kwibhala nu luene lujhelayi kinofu pia. 27 Ole bhinu, bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo, bhanafiki! kwa ndabha mwiwaningana ni makaburi ghaghabakibhu chokaa, ambagho kwa kwibhala ghibhonekana manofu, lakini kwa mugati ghamemili mafupa gha bhafu ni khila khenu kyakijhele kichafu. 28 Fefuefu, namu kwa kwibhala mwibhonekana bhenye haki mbele sa bhanu, lakini kwa mugati mumemili bhunafiki ni bhudhalimu. 29 Ole bhinu, bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo, bhanafiki! kwa kujha mwijenga makaburi gha manabii ni kughapamba makaburi gha bhenye haki. 30 Muenga mwijobha, kama tungeishi magono gha tata ghwitu, ngatujhelepi pamonga nabhu kujhitisya lilopa lya manabii. 31 Henu, mwishuhudila mwebhene kujha muenga ndo bhana bha abhu bha bhakomili manabii. 32 Pia muenga mwikamilisya kumemesya sehemu jhajhilondeka dhambi sya bha tata jhinu. 33 Muenga mayoka, bhana bha vipiribao, kibhuli mkajhiyepa hukumu jha jehanamu? 34 Henu, langayi, nikabhatuma kwa muenga manabii, bhanu bhabhajhe ni hekima, ni bhaandishi. Baadhi jha bhene bhibeta kubhakhoma ni kubhasulubisya. Na baadhi jha bhene mwibetakubhatobha mgati mu masinagogi gha muenga ni kubhabhenga kuh'omela mji umonga hadi bhongi. 35 Matokeo ni kwamba panani pa muenga pibeta kuhomela lilopa lyoha lya bhenye haki syasijhitisibhu pa duniani, kujhandila kilo pa lya Habili jhaajhe ni haki hadi kwa lilopa lya Zakaria mwana ghwa Barakia, jha mwan'komili kati jha patakatifu ni madhabahu. 36 Bhukweli, nikabhajobhela, mambo agha ghoha ghibetakukikabha kizazi e'khe. 37 Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, bhebhe jhaukabhakhoma manabii ni kubhahomelela maganga bhala ambabho bhatumwa bha bhebhe! mara silenga nibhabhongeniye bhana bha bhebhe pamonga kama vile n'ng'oko kya ikafibhonganiya fyana fya muene pasi pa mababatilu gha muene, lakini ghwabelili! 38 Langai, nyumba jha jhobhi jhisiele bhukhebha. 39 Nani nikujobhela, Kujhandila henu ni kujhendelela ghwibeta lepi kunibhona, hadi paghibeta kujobha, 'Abarikibhu muene jhaibetakuhida ku lihina lya Bwana.'”
