¹Ary tamin'izany Jesosy dia niteny tamin'ny vahoaka sy tamin'ny mpianany ka nanao hoe:

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

²Eo amin'ny fipetrahan'i Mosesy no ipetrahan'ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo;

²saying, `On the seat of Moses sat down the scribes and the Pharisees;

³koa amin'izany, izay rehetra lazainy dia ataovy ka tandremo; fa aza mba manao araka ny asany, satria miteny ihany izy, nefa tsy manao.

³all, then, as much as they may say to you to observe, observe and do, but according to their works do not, for they say, and do not;

⁴Eny, mamehy entana sady mavesatra no sarotra entina izy ka manaingina izany eo amin'ny soroky ny olona, nefa ny tenany tsy mety manetsika izany na dia amin'ny rantsan-tànany anankiray asa.

⁴for they bind together burdens heavy and grievous to be borne, and lay upon the shoulders of men, but with their finger they will not move them.

⁵Ary ny asany rehetra dia ataony mba ho hitan'ny. olona; fa ataony lehibe ny fylakiterany, ary ataony vaventy ny somotraviaviny.

⁵`And all their works they do to be seen by men, and they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the fringes of their garments,

⁶Ary tia ny fitoerana aloha eo amin'ny fanasana izy, sy ny fipetrahana aloha eo amin'ny synagoga

⁶they love also the chief couches in the supper, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

⁷sy ny hoharabain'ny olona eny an-tsena ary ny hataon'ny olona hoe: Raby ô!

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

⁸Fa ianareo kosa aza mba mety hatao hoe: Raby ô; fa iray ihany no mpampianatra anareo, ary ianareo rehetra dia mpirahalahy avokoa.

⁸`And ye — ye may not be called Rabbi, for one is your director — the Christ, and all ye are brethren;

⁹Ary aza milaza olona etỳ an-tany ho rainareo; fa iray ihany no Rainareo, dia Izay any an-danitra.

⁹and ye may not call [any] your father on the earth, for one is your Father, who is in the heavens,

¹⁰Ary aza mba mety hatao hoe mpitarika ianareo; fa iray ihany no Mpitarika anareo, dia Kristy.

¹⁰nor may ye be called directors, for one is your director — the Christ.

¹¹Fa izay lehibe aminareo no ho mpanompo anareo.

¹¹And the greater of you shall be your ministrant,

¹²Fa izay manandra-tena no haetry; ary izay manetry tena no hasandratra.

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

¹³Fa lozanareo, mpanora-dalàna sy Fariseo, mpihatsaravelatsihy! fa arindrinareo eo anoloan'ny olona ny fanjakan'ny lanitra; fa ianareo tsy miditra, ary izay miditra dia tsy avelanareo hiditra.[Ampio hoe:]

¹³`Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut up the reign of the heavens before men, for ye do not go in, nor those going in do ye suffer to enter.

¹⁴(Lozanareo mpanora-dalàna sy Fariseo, mpihatsaravelatsihy! Fa laninareo ny tranon'ny mpitondratena, ary dia manao vavaka lavareny ho fiolahana ianareo; koa izany no hahazoanareo fahamelohana mafimafy kokoa.)

¹⁴`Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye eat up the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, because of this ye shall receive more abundant judgment.

¹⁵Lozanareo, mpanora-dalàna sy Fariseo, mpihatsaravelatsihy! fa mandeha mitety ny ranomasina sy ny tany maina ianareo mba hahazoanareo na dia iray ihany aza ho proselyta; ary rehefa azonareo izy, dia ataonareo zanaky ny helo mihoatra indroa noho ianareo aza.

¹⁵`Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye go round the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and whenever it may happen — ye make him a son of gehenna twofold more than yourselves.

¹⁶Lozanareo, mpitarika jamba izay manao hoe: Raha misy mianiana amin'ny tempoly, dia tsy mampaninona izany; fa raha misy mianiana amin'ny volamena amin'ny tempoly, dia haningo-tena izy.

¹⁶`Wo to you, blind guides, who are saying, Whoever may swear by the sanctuary, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by the gold of the sanctuary — is debtor!

¹⁷Ry adala sy jamba! iza no lehibe, ny volamena va, sa ny tempoly izay nahamasina ny volamena?

¹⁷Fools and blind! for which [is] greater, the gold, or the sanctuary that is sanctifying the gold?

¹⁸Ary koa: Raha misy mianiana amin'ny alitara, dia tsy mampaninona izany; fa raha misy mianiana amin'ny fanatitra eo amboniny, dia haningo-tena izy.

¹⁸`And, whoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever may swear by the gift that is upon it — is debtor!

¹⁹Ry jamba! iza no lehibe, ny fanatitra, sa ny alitara izay mahamasina ny fanatitra?

¹⁹Fools and blind! for which [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that is sanctifying the gift?

²⁰Koa amin'izany, izay mianiana amin'ny alitara, dia mianiana aminy mbamin'ny zavatra rehetra izay eo amboniny.

²⁰`He therefore who did swear by the altar, doth swear by it, and by all things on it;

²¹Ary izay mianiana amin'ny tempoly dia mianiana aminy mbamin'izay mitoetra ao anatiny.

²¹and he who did swear by the sanctuary, doth swear by it, and by Him who is dwelling in it;

²²Ary izay mianiana amin'ny lanitra dia mianiana amin'ny seza fiandrianan'Andriamanitra mbamin'izay mipetraka eo amboniny.

²²and he who did swear by the heaven, doth swear by the throne of God, and by Him who is sitting upon it.

²³Lozanareo, mpanora-dalàna sy Fariseo, mpihatsaravelatsihy! fa mandoa ny fahafolon'ny solila sy ny aneta ary ny komina ianareo, nefa navelanareo izay lehibe amin'ny lalàna, dia ny rariny sy ny famindram-po ary ny finoana; ireto tokony ho nataonareo, nefa tsy tokony havelanareo ireroana.[Anaran-java-maniry ireo]

²³`Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and did neglect the weightier things of the Law — the judgment, and the kindness, and the faith; these it behoved [you] to do, and those not to neglect.

²⁴Ry mpitarika jamba! tantavaninareo ny moka, nefa atelinareo ny rameva.

²⁴`Blind guides! who are straining out the gnat, and the camel are swallowing.

²⁵Lozanareo, mpanora-dalàna sy Fariseo, mpihatsaravelatsihy! fa diovinareo ny vohon'ny kapoaka sy ny lovia, nefa ny ao anatiny dia feno rombaka sy tsi-fahononana.

²⁵`Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye make clean the outside of the cup and the plate, and within they are full of rapine and incontinence.

²⁶Ry Fariseo jamba! diovy aloha ny atin'ny kapoaka sy ny lovia, mba ho madio koa ny vohony.

²⁶`Blind Pharisee! cleanse first the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside of them also may become clean.

²⁷Lozanareo, mpanora-dalàna sy Fariseo, mpihatsaravelatsihy! fa ianareo dia tahaka ny fasana voalalotra fotsy, izay miseho tsara tarehy eo ivelany, nefa ny ao anatiny dia feno taolan'ny maty mbamin'ny fahalotoana rehetra.

²⁷`Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye are like to whitewashed sepulchres, which outwardly indeed do appear beautiful, and within are full of bones of dead men, and of all uncleanness;

²⁸Dia tahaka izany koa ianareo: raha amin'ny eo ivelany dia miseho amin'ny olona ho marina, nefa ny ao anatinareo dia feno fihatsaram-belatsihy sy tsi-fankatoavan-dalàna.

²⁸so also ye outwardly indeed do appear to men righteous, and within ye are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

²⁹Lozanareo, mpanora-dalàna sy Fariseo, mpihatsaravelatsihy! fa manao ny fasan'ny mpaminany ianareo sady manisy haingony ny rarivatom-pasan'ny olona marina,

²⁹`Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous,

³⁰ka hoy ianareo: Raha niara-belona tamin'ny razanay izahay, dia tsy mba nikambana taminy handatsa-drà ny mpaminany.

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.

³¹Ka dia miampanga tena ianareo fa zanak'izay namono ny mpaminany.

³¹So that ye testify to yourselves, that ye are sons of them who did murder the prophets;

³²Ary ianareo koa dia mamenoa ny famaran'ny razanareo.

³²and ye — ye fill up the measure of your fathers.

³³Ry bibilava, taranaky ny menarana, hataonareo ahoana no fandositra ny fanamelohana ho any amin'ny helo?

³³`Serpents! brood of vipers! how may ye escape from the judgment of the gehenna?

³⁴Ary noho izany, indro, Izaho maniraka mpaminany sy olon-kendry ary mpanora-dalàna ho atỳ aminareo; koa ny sasany hovonoinareo sy hohomboanareo amin'ny hazo fijaliana, ary ny sasany hokapohinareo ao amin'ny synagoganareo sy henjehinareo mitety vohitra,-

³⁴`Because of this, lo, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and of them ye will kill and crucify, and of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will pursue from city to city;

³⁵mba hanody anareo ny rà marina rehetra, izay nalatsaka tambonin'ny tany, hatramin'ny ran'i Abela marina ka hatramin'ny ran'i Zakaria, zanak'i Barakia, izay novonoinareo teo anelanelan'ny tempoly sy ny alitara.

³⁵that on you may come all the righteous blood being poured out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar:

³⁶Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Hanody ity taranaka ity izany rehetra izany.

³⁶verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.

³⁷Ry Jerosalema, ry Jerosalema, izay mamono ny mpaminany sy mitora-bato izay irahina ho aminao, impiry Aho no ta-hanangona ny zanakao, tahaka ny fanomban'ny akoho ny zanany ao ambanin'ny elany, fa tsy nety ianareo!

³⁷`Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto thee, how often did I will to gather thy children together, as a hen doth gather her own chickens under the wings, and ye did not will.

³⁸Indro, avela ho lao ho anareo ny tranonareo.Fa lazaiko aminareo: Hatramin'izao dia tsy hahita Ahy tokoa ianareo mandra-pilazanareo hoe: Isaorana anie Izay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah.

³⁸Lo, left desolate to you is your house;

³⁹Fa lazaiko aminareo: Hatramin'izao dia tsy hahita Ahy tokoa ianareo mandra-pilazanareo hoe: Isaorana anie Izay avy amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah.

³⁹for I say to you, ye may not see me henceforth, till ye may say, Blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord.`
