Chamorro: Gospels, Acts and Psalms
1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
1AYO nae si Jesus, jacuentuse y linajyan taotao, yan y disipuluña sija,
2saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
2Ylegña: Y escriba yan y Fariseo sija manmatatachong gui tachong Moises;
3All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.
3Todo y mansinangane jamyo na inadaje, fatinas yan adaje; lao chamiyo fumatitinas taegüije y finatinasñiñija, sa sija jasasangan, lao ti jafatitinas.
4For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help 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.
5But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
5Lao todo y chechoñija, jafatinas para umalie ni y taotao sija sa janaancho y filacteriañija, ya jajujuto y madoblan y magagonñija.
6and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
6Ya yañija y finenana na saga gui guipot, yan y finenana na tachong gui sinagoga;
7the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
7Yan y manmasaluda gui plasa, yan ufanmafanaan ni y taotao sija, Rabi.
8But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
8Lao jamyo chamiyo fanmalalago manmafanaan. Rabi; sa unoja Maestronmiyo, ya todo jamyo mañelo.
9Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
9Chamiyo fanmamananaan ni uno tatanmiyo gui tano; sa unoja Tatanmiyo, na gaegue gui langet.
10Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
10Ni infanmamanaan uno amunmiyo; sa unoja amunmiyo, si Cristo.
11But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
11Lao y mas dangculo guiya jamyo, güiya utentagonmiyo.
12Whoever 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.
13“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
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.
14“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
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, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehenna as yourselves.
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.
16“Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’
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! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
17Manbababa yan manbachet! Jafa mas dangculo, y oro pat y templo, ni y munasantos y oro?
18And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
18Ya jayeja y manjula pot y attat, taya este; lao jayeja y manjula pot y ninae ni gaegue gui jiloña, gaeisao güe.
19You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
19Manbachet jamyo! Jafa mas dangculo, y ninae pat y attat ni munasantos y ninae?
20He therefore 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.
21He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
21Ya y manjula pot y templo, manjula pot ayo yan pot güiya y sumaga gui jinalomña.
22He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
22Ya y manjula pot y langet, manjula pot y trono Yuus, yan pot güiya ni gaegue na matatachong gui jiloña.
23“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
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, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
24Bachet jamyo na guia sija! sa inguicula y ñamo, ya inpapañot y cameyo.
25“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
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.
26You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
26Fariseo bachet jao! fagase finena y sumanjalom gui posuelo yan y plato, ya despues y sumanjiyong ugasgas locue.
27“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones and of all uncleanness.
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.
28Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
28Taegüenao locue jamyo y sumanjiyong magajet na manunas malie jamyo ni taotao sija; lao y sumanjalom bula hipocresia yan inechong.
29“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs 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 say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn’t have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
30Ya ilegmiyo: Yaguin mangaeguejam gui jaanin y tatanmame sija, ti infangachong yan sija gui jâgâ y profeta sija.
31Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed 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 your fathers.
32Jamyo locue innabula y medidan y tatanmiyo.
33You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?
33Colebla sija, rasan colebla sija! Jaf taemano jamyo insujaye gui sentensian sasalaguan?
34Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
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;
35that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary 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.
36Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
36Magajet jusagane jamyo, na todo estesija ufanmato gui jilo este na generasion.
37“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
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!
38Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
38Estagüe na madingo guiya jamyo y guimanmiyo na ti mataotagüe.
39For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, 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.
