¹Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,

¹¶ Me i reira ka korero a Ihu ki te mano, ki ana akonga hoki,

²saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have set themselves down in Moses' seat:

²Ka mea, Kei te nohoanga o Mohi nga karaipi ratou ko nga Parihi e noho ana:

³all things therefore, whatever they may tell you, do and keep. But do not after their works, for they say and do not,

³Ko nga mea katoa e mea ai ratou hei pupuri ma koutou, puritia, mahia; kei rite ia a koutou mahi ki a ratou mahi: ko ta ratou hoki he korero, kahore he mahi.

⁴but bind burdens heavy and hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of men, but will not move them with their finger.

⁴E hereherea ana hoki e ratou nga wahanga taimaha, he uaua me ka pikaua, a whakawaha iho ki runga ki nga pokohiwi o te tangata; heoi kahore ratou e pai kia whakakorikoria ki tetahi o o ratou maihao.

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

⁵Ko a ratou mahi katoa e meatia ana hei matakitaki ma te tangata; e whakawhanuitia ana e ratou a ratou pairakere; e whakanuia ana ano nga taniko o o ratou kakahu;

⁶and love the chief place in feasts and the first seats in the synagogues,

⁶Ko ta ratou e rawe ai ko nga nohoanga rangatira i nga hakari, me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia,

⁷and salutations in the market-places, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

⁷Me nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko, a kia karangatia e te tangata, E Rapi.

⁸But *ye*, be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor, and all *ye* are brethren.

⁸Otiia aua koutou e karangatia, E Rapi: kotahi hoki to koutou kaiwhakaako; a he tuakana, he teina, koutou katoa.

⁹And call not [any one] your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens.

⁹Kaua ano tetahi e kiia hei matua mo koutou i runga i te whenua: kotahi hoki to koutou Matua, ko tera i te rangi.

¹⁰Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ.

¹⁰Kaua ano koutou e kiia he kaiarahi: kotahi ano to koutou kaiarahi, ko te Karaiti.

¹¹But the greatest of you shall be your servant.

¹¹Ko te mea nui rawa hoki o koutou, hei kaimahi ia ma koutou.

¹²And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.

¹²Ki te whakahira hoki tetahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; a ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, ka whakahirangia.

¹³But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for *ye* do not enter, nor do ye suffer those that are entering to go in.

¹³¶ Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e tutakina ana hoki e koutou te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki nga tangata: kahore koutou e tomo, kahore ano e tukua te hunga e tomo ana kia tapoko.

¹⁵Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye compass the sea and the dry [land] to make one proselyte, and when he is become [such], ye make him twofold more [the] son of hell than yourselves.

¹⁴Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! no te mea ka pau i a koutou nga whare o nga pouaru, a e maminga ana ki te inoi roa: mo reira he nui rawa te he e tau ki a koutou.

¹⁶Woe to you, blind guides, who say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.

¹⁵Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e taiawhiotia ana hoki e koutou te moana me te whenua, kia tahuri mai ai tetahi hei porohiraiti, a, no ka riro mai, ka meinga ia e koutou hei tamaiti mo Kehena, kino noa atu i a koutou.

¹⁷Fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple which sanctifies the gold?

¹⁶Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga kaiarahi matapo, e mea nei, Ki te oatitia te whare tapu e tetahi, he mea noa ano; otira ki te oatitia e tetahi te koura o te whare tapu, ka mau tana!

¹⁸And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor.

¹⁷E nga kuware, e nga matapo: ko tehea te mea nui, ko te koura ranei, ko te whare tapu ranei i tapu ai te koura?

¹⁹[Fools and] blind ones, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift?

¹⁸Me tenei, Ki te oatitia e tetahi te aata, he mea noa ano: otira ki te oatitia te whakahere i runga i te aata, ka mau tana.

²⁰He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it.

¹⁹E nga kuware, e nga matapo, ko tehea te mea nui, ko te whakahere, ko te aata ranei i tapu ai te whakahere?

²¹And he that swears by the temple swears by it and by him that dwells in it.

²⁰Na, ki te oatitia e tetahi te aata, e oatitia ana e ia tera mea, me nga mea katoa i runga.

²²And he that swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him that sits upon it.

²¹Ki te oatitia e tetahi te whare tapu, e oatitia ana e ia tera mea, me te kainoho o roto.

²³Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cummin, and ye have left aside the weightier matters of the law, judgment and mercy and faith: these ye ought to have done and not have left those aside.

²²Ki te oatitia hoki e tetahi te rangi, e oatitia ana e ia te torona o te Atua, me te kainoho o runga.

²⁴Blind guides, who strain out the gnat, but drink down the camel.

²³Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e hoatu ana e koutou te wahi whakatekau o te miniti, o te anihi, o te kumine, a kapea ake nga mea nunui o te ture, te whakawa, te tohu tangata, te whakapono: he tika kia meatia e koutou enei, engari kaua tera ra e kapea.

²⁵Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of rapine and intemperance.

²⁴E nga kaiarahi matapo, e tatari nei i te waeroa, a horomia ake te kamera.

²⁶Blind Pharisee, make clean first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that their outside also may become clean.

²⁵Aue, te mate mo koutou e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e horoi nei i waho o te kapu, o te pereti, ko roto ia ki tonu i te pahua, i te taikaha.

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

²⁶E te Parihi matapo, matua horoia a roto o te kapu, o te pereti, kia ma ai hoki a waho.

²⁸Thus also *ye*, outwardly ye appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

²⁷Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! he rite hoki koutou ki nga urupa kua oti te pani ki te paru ma, ko waho he ataahua ki te titiro atu, ko roto ia ki tonu i nga koiwi tupapaku, i nga mea poke katoa.

²⁹Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets and adorn the tombs of the just,

²⁸He pena hoki koutou, ko waho e tika ana ki ta te tangata titiro, ko roto ia e ki ana i te tinihanga, i te kino.

³⁰and ye 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.

²⁹Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga? ko koutou nei hoki hei hanga i nga tanumanga o nga poropiti, hei whakapaipai i nga urupa o nga tangata tika,

³¹So that ye bear witness of yourselves that ye are sons of those who slew the prophets:

³⁰Me te ki ano, Me i nga ra tatou o o tatou matua, kihai tatou i uru tahi me ratou ki te whakaheke i te toto o nga poropiti.

³²and *ye*, fill ye up the measure of your fathers.

³¹He whakaatu tera na koutou, ko koutou nga tamariki a te hunga nana i patu nga poropiti.

³³Serpents, offspring of vipers, how should ye escape the judgment of hell?

³²Tena ra, kia ki a koutou te mehua a o koutou matua.

³⁴Therefore, behold, *I* send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and [some] of them ye will kill and crucify, and [some] of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will persecute from city to city;

³³E nga neke, e te uri nakahi, me aha ka rere ai koutou i te kupu tuku ki te reinga?

³⁵so that all righteous blood shed upon the earth should come upon *you*, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

³⁴¶ Na ka tonoa atu e ahau ki a koutou nga poropiti, nga tangata mahara, nga karaipi: ko etahi o ratou e whakamatea e koutou, e ripekatia; ko etahi e whiua i roto i o koutou whare karakia, e whaia hoki i tetahi pa ki tetahi pa:

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

³⁵A ka utaina ki a koutou nga toto katoa o te hunga tika i whakahekea ki te whenua, no te toto o Apera, o te tangata tika tae iho ki te toto o Hakaraia, o te tama a Parakia, i kohurutia e koutou i waenganui o te whare tapu, o te aata.

³⁷Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [the city] that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

³⁶He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou. Tera e pa enei mea katoa ki tenei whakatupuranga.

³⁸Behold, your house is left unto you desolate;

³⁷E Hiruharama, e Hiruharama, e whakamate nei i nga poropiti, e aki nei ki te kamaka i te hunga e tonoa ana ki a koe, ano te tini o aku meatanga kia whakaminea au tamariki, kia peratia me te heihei e whakamine nei i ana pi ki raro i ona parirau, a kihai koutou i pai!

³⁹for I say unto you, Ye shall in no wise see me henceforth until ye say, Blessed [be] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord.

³⁸Na ka mahue atu ki a koutou to koutou whare kia takoto noa ana.

³⁹Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E kore koutou e kite i ahau a mua ake nei, kia mea ra ano koutou, Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki.
