Chamorro: Gospels, Acts and Psalms
1Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:
1AYO nae si Jesus, jacuentuse y linajyan taotao, yan y disipuluña sija,
2“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
2Ylegña: Y escriba yan y Fariseo sija manmatatachong gui tachong Moises;
3So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
3Todo y mansinangane jamyo na inadaje, fatinas yan adaje; lao chamiyo fumatitinas taegüije y finatinasñiñija, sa sija jasasangan, lao ti jafatitinas.
4They 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.
4Sa manmangogode catga sija na manmacat ya mapot machule, ya japolo gui jilo y apagan y taotao sija; lao sija ni y calalotñija ti manmalago janacalamten.
5All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
5Lao todo y chechoñija, jafatinas para umalie ni y taotao sija sa janaancho y filacteriañija, ya jajujuto y madoblan y magagonñija.
6They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,
6Ya yañija y finenana na saga gui guipot, yan y finenana na tachong gui sinagoga;
7the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
7Yan y manmasaluda gui plasa, yan ufanmafanaan ni y taotao sija, Rabi.
8But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
8Lao jamyo chamiyo fanmalalago manmafanaan. Rabi; sa unoja Maestronmiyo, ya todo jamyo mañelo.
9And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
9Chamiyo fanmamananaan ni uno tatanmiyo gui tano; sa unoja Tatanmiyo, na gaegue gui langet.
10Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.
10Ni infanmamanaan uno amunmiyo; sa unoja amunmiyo, si Cristo.
11The greatest among you shall be your servant.
11Lao y mas dangculo guiya jamyo, güiya utentagonmiyo.
12For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
12Sa jayeja y munadangculon namae sagüe, umumitde; ya jayeja y munaumitden namaesagüe, güiya udangculo.
13Woe 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.
13Lao ay ay para jamyo escriba yan Fariseo sija, hipocrita! sa injichom y raenon langet gui menan y taotao sija; ya ni jamyo ti manjalom, ni y para ufanjalom ti inpelo na ufanjalom.
no verse 14 in this text
14(Ay ay para jamyo, escriba yan Fariseo sija, hipocrita! sa inticho y guima y biuda sija yan inagó y tinaetae; pot este inresibe dangculo na sentensia.)
15Woe 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.
15Ay ay para jamyo, escriba yan Fariseo sija, hipocrita! sa inlilicue y tase yan y tano para infatinas un prosélito, ya anae esta infatinas, infatitinas güe lalajin sasalaguan dosbiaje mas qui jamyo.
16Woe 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.’
16Ay ay para jamyo, bachet na guia sija ni y ilegmiyo: Jayeja y manjula pot templo, taya este; lao jayeja y manjula pot y oron y templo, gaeisao güe.
17You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?
17Manbababa yan manbachet! Jafa mas dangculo, y oro pat y templo, ni y munasantos y oro?
18And 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.’
18Ya jayeja y manjula pot y attat, taya este; lao jayeja y manjula pot y ninae ni gaegue gui jiloña, gaeisao güe.
19You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?
19Manbachet jamyo! Jafa mas dangculo, y ninae pat y attat ni munasantos y ninae?
20So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
20Enao mina y manjula pot y attat, manjula pot ayo yan todo y guaja gui jiloña.
21And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.
21Ya y manjula pot y templo, manjula pot ayo yan pot güiya y sumaga gui jinalomña.
22And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.
22Ya y manjula pot y langet, manjula pot y trono Yuus, yan pot güiya ni gaegue na matatachong gui jiloña.
23Woe 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.
23Ay ay para jamyo, escriba yan Fariseo sija, hipocrita! sa manmanapase jamyo diesmo y yetba buena, yan anis yan comino, ya inpelo y mas dangculo gui lay; y juisio, y minaase, yan y jinenggue. Este nesesita umafatinas, ya munga mapolo na ti infatinas y otro sija.
24You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
24Bachet jamyo na guia sija! sa inguicula y ñamo, ya inpapañot y cameyo.
25Woe 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.
25Ay ay para jamyo, escriba yan Fariseo sija, hipocrita! sa infagagase y sumanjiyeng y posuelo yan y plato; lao y sumanjalom bula inamot yan minampos.
26Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.
26Fariseo bachet jao! fagase finena y sumanjalom gui posuelo yan y plato, ya despues y sumanjiyong ugasgas locue.
27Woe 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.
27Ay ay para jamyo, escriba yan Fariseo sija, hipocrita! sa manparejo jamyo yan y manmablanquea na naftan na y sanjiyongña magajet na mauleg malie: lao y sumanjalomña bula tolang manmatae, yan todo y ináplacha.
28In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
28Taegüenao locue jamyo y sumanjiyong magajet na manunas malie jamyo ni taotao sija; lao y sumanjalom bula hipocresia yan inechong.
29Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.
29Ay ay para jamyo escriba yan Fariseo sija, hipocrita! sa infatinas naftan y profeta sija, ya inadotna y naftan y manunas,
30And 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.’
30Ya ilegmiyo: Yaguin mangaeguejam gui jaanin y tatanmame sija, ti infangachong yan sija gui jâgâ y profeta sija.
31So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
31Ayo mina jamyo mismo innae testimonio contra jamyo, na jamyo famaguon ayo sija y pumuno y profeta sija.
32Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.
32Jamyo locue innabula y medidan y tatanmiyo.
33You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?
33Colebla sija, rasan colebla sija! Jaf taemano jamyo insujaye gui sentensian sasalaguan?
34Because 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 in town after town.
34Enaomina estagüeyo na junae jamyo profeta sija, yan manmalate yan escribasija; ya palo guiya sija inpino ya inatane gui quiluus; ya y palo guiya sija, inpanag gui sinagoganmiyo, ya inpetsigue sija guinin siuda asta siuda;
35And 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.
35Para ufato gui jilomiyo todo y tunas na jâgâ ni y machuda gui jilo y tano, desde y jâgân Abel y tinas, asta y jâgâ Sacharias, lajin Barachias, ni inpino gui entalo templo yan y attat.
36Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
36Magajet jusagane jamyo, na todo estesija ufanmato gui jilo este na generasion.
37O 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!
37Jerusalem! Jerusalem! ni y pumuno y profeta sija, ni infagas ni acho todo y manmatago para jago, cuanto biaje malagoyo na jurecoje y famaguonmo, calang y ponedera yan jarecoje y poyitasña sija gui papa papaña, lao ti manmalago jamyo!
38Look, your house is left to you desolate.
38Estagüe na madingo guiya jamyo y guimanmiyo na ti mataotagüe.
39For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
39Sa guajo jamyo sumangane, na desde pago, ti inliiyo, asta qui ilegmiyo: Dichoso güe y mato. pot y naan y Señot.
