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.

⁵Lao todo y chechoñija, jafatinas para umalie ni y taotao sija sa janaancho y filacteriañija, ya jajujuto y madoblan y magagonñija.

⁹ Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.

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.

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.

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.

²⁶ You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.

²⁷¶ Ay 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.

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.

²⁸ Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
