1Neuze Jezuz, o komz d'ar bobl ha d'e ziskibien, a lavaras:
1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
2Ar skribed hag ar farizianed a zo azezet war gador Moizez.
2saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses’ seat.
3Grit eta ha mirit kement a lavaront deoc'h; met na rit ket hervez o oberoù. Rak e lavaront, met ne reont ket.
3 All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.
4Eren a reont bec'hioù pounner ha diaes da zougen, ha o lakaont war divskoaz an dud, met ne fell ket dezho stekiñ outo gant o biz.
4 For 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.
5O holl oberoù a reont evit bezañ gwelet gant an dud. Evel-se eo, o deus fulakterioù ledan ha pempilhoù hir ouzh o dilhad;
5 But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries phylacteries (tefillin in Hebrew) are small leather pouches that some Jewish men wear on their forehead and arm in prayer. They are used to carry a small scroll with some Scripture in it. See Deuteronomy 6:8. broad, enlarge the fringes or, tassels of their garments,
6karout a reont ar plasoù kentañ er festoù, hag ar c'hadorioù kentañ er sinagogennoù;
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
7karout a reont bezañ saludet er marc'hallac'hoù, ha bezañ galvet gant an dud: Mestr, Mestr.
7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
8Met c'hwi, na rit ket ho kervel mestr, rak unan hepken eo ho Mestr, [ar C'hrist,] ha c'hwi holl a zo breudeur.
8 But don’t you be called ‘Rabbi,’ for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
9Na c'halvit den war an douar ho tad, rak unan hepken eo ho Tad, an hini a zo en neñvoù.
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
10Na rit ket ho kervel renerien, rak unan hepken eo ho Rener, ar C'hrist
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
11An hini brasañ en ho touez a vo ho servijer.
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
12Rak piv bennak en em uhela a vo izelaet, ha piv bennak en em izela a vo uhelaet.
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13Gwalleur deoc'h, skribed ha farizianed, pilpouzed! Abalamour ma serrit rouantelezh an neñvoù ouzh an dud, n'oc'h ket hoc'h-unan aet e-barzh, hag hoc'h eus c'hoazh harzet da vont e-barzh ar re a garje bezañ aet.
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.
14Gwalleur deoc'h, skribed ha farizianed, pilpouzed! Abalamour ma dismantrit tiez an intañvezed, hag e rit evit ar gweled pedennoù hir; abalamour da-se, e viot barnet garvoc'h.
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. Some Greek manuscripts reverse the order of verses 13 and 14, and some omit verse 13, numbering verse 14 as 13.
15Gwalleur deoc'h, skribed ha farizianed, pilpouzed! Rak redek a rit dre ar mor hag an douar evit ober ur prozelit, ha, pa hoc'h eus e c'hounezet, e rit anezhañ ur mab-ifern div wech gwashoc'h egedoc'h.
15 Woe 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 of a son of Gehenna or, Hell as yourselves.
16Gwalleur deoc'h, renerien dall! Lavarout a rit: Mar tou unan bennak dre an templ, se n'eo netra; met mar tou unan bennak dre aour an templ, hennezh a dle derc'hel e gomz.
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.’
17Tud diskiant ha dall! Pehini eo ar brasañ, an aour, pe an templ a santela an aour-se?
17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18Lavarout a rit c'hoazh: Mar tou unan bennak dre an aoter, se n'eo netra; met mar tou unan bennak dre ar prof a zo war an aoter, hennezh a dle derc'hel e gomz.
18 ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?’
19Tud dall! Pehini eo ar brasañ, ar prof, pe an aoter a santela ar prof-se?
19 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20An neb a dou dre an aoter, a dou dre an aoter ha dre gement a zo warni;
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
21an neb a dou dre an templ, a dou dre an templ ha dre an Hini a chom ennañ;
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who was living NU reads “lives” in it.
22hag an neb a dou dre an neñv, a dou dre dron Doue ha dre an Hini a zo azezet warnañ.
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
23Gwalleur deoc'h, skribed ha farizianed, pilpouzed! Abalamour ma paeit an deog war ar vent, war an aned, ha war ar c'houmin, hag e lezit a-gostez ar pezh a zo ar muiañ talvoudek el lezenn, ar reizhder, an drugarez hag al lealded. Ar re-se a oa an traoù a dleec'h d'ober, hep koulskoude dilezel ar re all.
23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, cumin is an aromatic seed from Cuminum cyminum, resembling caraway in flavor and appearance. It is used as a spice. 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.
24Renerien dall! Silañ a rit ar fubuenn, hag e lonkit ar c'hañval.
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
25Gwalleur deoc'h, skribed ha farizianed, pilpouzed! Abalamour ma naetait diavaez an hanaf hag ar plad, met en diabarzh oc'h leun a laeroñsi hag a zireizhder.
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. TR reads “self-indulgence” instead of “unrighteousness”
26Farizian dall! Naeta da gentañ an diabarzh eus an hanaf hag eus ar plad, evit ma teuio ivez an diavaez da vezañ naet.
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
27Gwalleur deoc'h, skribed ha farizianed, pilpouzed! Abalamour ma'z oc'h heñvel ouzh bezioù gwennet, en em ziskouez kaer en diavaez, hag a zo leun a eskern tud varv hag a bep dic'hlanded en diabarzh.
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.
28Evel-se c'hwi ivez, en diavaez, en em ziskouez reizh d'an dud, met en diabarzh, oc'h leun a bilpouzerezh hag a zireizhder.
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29Gwalleur deoc'h, skribed ha farizianed, pilpouzed! Abalamour ma savit bezioù d'ar brofeded ha ma vravait bezioù an dud reizh,
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
30en ur lavarout: Mar vijemp bet en amzer hon tadoù, ne vijemp ket en em unanet ganto da skuilh gwad ar brofeded.
30 and 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.’
31Testiñ a rit evel-se, a-enep deoc'h hoc'h-unan, penaos oc'h mibien ar re o deus lazhet ar brofeded.
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
32Leuniañ a rit eta muzul ho tadoù.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
33Naered, lignez a naered-gwiber, penaos e tec'hot diouzh kastiz ar gehenn?
33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna or, Hell ?
34Setu perak e kasan deoc'h profeded, tud fur ha skribed; lazhañ hag stagañ ouzh ar groaz a reot darn, skourjezañ a reot darn all en ho sinagogennoù, hag argas a reot anezho eus an eil kêr d'eben,
34 Therefore 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;
35evit ma kouezho warnoc'h an holl wad reizh a zo bet skuilhet war an douar, adalek gwad Abel, an hini reizh, betek gwad Zakaria, mab Barakia, hoc'h eus lazhet etre an templ hag an aoter.
35 that 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.
36Me a lavar deoc'h e gwirionez, kement-se holl a gouezho war ar rummad-mañ.
36 Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37Jeruzalem, Jeruzalem, te hag a lazh ar brofeded, hag a veinata ar re a zo kaset dit, pet gwech em eus c'hoantaet dastum da vugale, evel ma tastum ar yar he foñsined dindan he divaskell, ha n'eo ket bet fellet deoc'h!
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!
38Setu, ho ti a ya da chom hep den,
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
39rak me a lavar deoc'h, ne'm gwelot mui pelloc'h, betek ma lavarot: Ra vo benniget an hini a zeu en anv an Aotrou.
39 For 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!’” Psalm 118:26
