¹Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

¹Tedaj govori Jezus množici in učencem svojim

²Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

²takole: Na Mojzesov stol so sedli pismarji in farizeji.

³All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

³Vse torej, karkoli vam reko, izpolnjujte in delajte; po njih delih pa ne delajte, ker govoré, pa ne delajo.

⁴For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

⁴Vežejo namreč težka in neznosna bremena in jih nakladajo ljudem na pleča, sami jih pa še s svojim prstom nočejo geniti.

⁵But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

⁵Vsa dela svoja pa delajo, da jih vidijo ljudje. Razširjajo si namreč molilne listke in delajo velike robove oblačilom svojim;

⁶And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

⁶in ljubijo prve prostore pri gostijah in prve stole v shodnicah

⁷And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

⁷in pozdrave po ulicah ter da jih ljudje imenujejo: Rabi!

⁸But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

⁸Vi pa se ne imenujte Rabi; kajti eden je vaš učenik, Kristus, vsi vi ste pa bratje.

⁹And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

⁹In ne imenujte nikogar na zemlji očeta svojega; kajti eden je vaš Oče, ta, ki je v nebesih.

¹⁰Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

¹⁰Tudi se ne imenujte voditeljev, kajti eden je vaš voditelj, Kristus.

¹¹But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

¹¹A kdor je največji med vami, bodi vam služabnik.

¹²And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

¹²Kdor se pa povišuje, bo ponižan, in kdor se ponižuje, bo povišan.

¹³But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

¹³Gorje pa vam pismarji in farizeji, hinavci! da zapirate nebeško kraljestvo pred ljudmi; sami namreč ne greste vanje, in kateri hočejo vanje iti, jim ne puščate, da bi šli.

¹⁴Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

¹⁴Gorje vam, pismarji in farizeji, hinavci! da požirate vdovam hiše, ko na videz opravljate dolge molitve; zategadelj prejmete ostrejšo sodbo.

¹⁵Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

¹⁵Gorje vam pismarji in farizeji, hinavci! ker prehodite morje in zemljo, da pridobite enega, ki se pojudi, in ko se pojudi, naredite iz njega peklenskega sinu, dvakrat hujšega od sebe.

¹⁶Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

¹⁶Gorje vam, slepi vodniki, ki pravite: Če kdo priseže pri templju, ni nič; če pa priseže kdo pri templjevem zlatu, je zavezan.

¹⁷Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

¹⁷Bebci in slepci! kaj pa je več, zlato ali tempelj, ki posvečuje zlato?

¹⁸And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

¹⁸In: Če priseže kdo pri oltarju, ni nič; če pa priseže kdo pri daru, ki je na njem, je zavezan.

¹⁹Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

¹⁹Slepci! kaj pa je več, dar ali oltar, ki posvečuje dar?

²⁰Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

²⁰Kdor torej prisega pri oltarju, prisega pri njem in pri vsem, kar je na njem.

²¹And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

²¹In kdor prisega pri templju, prisega pri njem in pri tistem, ki prebiva v njem.

²²And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

²²In kdor prisega pri nebu, prisega pri prestolu Božjem in pri tistem, ki sedi na njem.

²³Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

²³Gorje vam, pismarji in farizeji, hinavci! da dajete desetino od mete in kopra in kumina, opuščate pa, kar je važnejše v postavi: sodbo [Ali: pravico.], usmiljenje in vero. To pa je treba delati, a onega ne opuščati.

²⁴Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

²⁴Slepi vodniki, ki precejate komarje, velbloda pa požirate!

²⁵Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

²⁵Gorje vam, pismarji in farizeji, hinavci! da čistite kozarec in skledo odzunaj, znotraj pa sta polna ropa in nezmernosti.

²⁶Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

²⁶Slepi farizej! očisti poprej kozarec in skledo znotraj, da bodeta čista tudi zunaj.

²⁷Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

²⁷Gorje vam, pismarji in farizeji, hinavci! da ste podobni pobeljenim grobom, ki se odzunaj zde lepi, znotraj pa so polni mrtvaških kosti in vse nesnage.

²⁸Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

²⁸Tako se kažete tudi vi ljudem zunaj pravične, znotraj pa ste polni hinavstva in krivičnosti.

²⁹Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

²⁹Gorje vam, pismarji in farizeji, hinavci! da zidate prorokom grobe in lepšate pravičnim nagrobne spomenike,

³⁰And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

³⁰in pravite: Da smo živeli v dnevih očetov svojih, ne bi bili ž njimi deležni krvi prorokov.

³¹Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

³¹Tako pričate sami zoper sebe, da ste sinovi teh, ki so morili proroke.

³²Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

³²Napolnite le tudi vi mero očetov svojih!

³³Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

³³Kače, gadja zalega! kako boste ubežali sodbi pekla?

³⁴Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

³⁴Zato, glejte, pošiljam jaz k vam proroke in modrce in pismouke; in nekatere izmed njih pomorite in na križ razpnete, a nekatere boste bičali v shodnicah svojih in preganjali od mesta do mesta;

³⁵That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

³⁵da pride na vas vsa pravična kri, ki se je prelila na zemlji, od krvi pravičnega Abela do krvi Zaharija, sinu Barahijevega, ki ste ga umorili med svetiščem in oltarjem.

³⁶Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

³⁶Resnično vam pravim: Vse to pride na ta rod.

³⁷O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

³⁷Jeruzalem, Jeruzalem, ki ubijaš proroke in kamenaš tiste, ki so poslani k tebi! Kolikokrat sem hotel zbrati otroke tvoje, kakor zbira kokla piščeta svoja pod peruti, pa niste hoteli!

³⁸Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

³⁸Glej, hiša vaša se vam ostavlja pusta.Kajti pravim vam: Ne boste me videli odslej, dokler ne rečete: Blagoslovljen, ki prihaja v imenu Gospodovem!

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.

³⁹Kajti pravim vam: Ne boste me videli odslej, dokler ne rečete: Blagoslovljen, ki prihaja v imenu Gospodovem!
