¹Ngkai ree, Yesus mpololitai ntodea pai' topetuku' -na, na'uli':

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

²"Guru-guru agama pai' to Parisi mohura hi pohuraa Musa, apa' hira' to mpotudui' -koi Atura Musa.

²saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses seat:

³Toe pai' kana nituku' omea napa to ratudui' -kokoi. Aga neo' nipenau' po'ingku-ra, apa' hira' toe uma mpotuku' napa to ratudui' -kokoi.

³all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, [these] do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.

⁴Hira' toe mpopokoloi ntodea hante parenta pai' ada to motomo, hiaa' hira' moto, uma-ra mpotulungi ntodea mpotuku' parenta pai' ada toe.

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

⁵"Wori' moto-hawo po'ingku-ra to lompe', aga patuju-ra mpobabehi po'ingku toe, bona rahilo doo-wadi. Mpopake' -ra tali posampaya to mopepa' -pepa', pai' rapokaloe wua' baju-ra, bona petuku' -ra hi Atura Musa ma'ala rahilo doo.

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

⁶Goe' -ra ane rapopohura-ra hi pohuraa to lompe' hi posusaa'. Goe' -ra rapopohura hi pohuraa karabilaa' hi tomi posampayaa.

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

⁷Goe' -ra ane ria tauna hi wiwi' karajaa motingkua' mpotabe-ra pai' mpokahangai' -ra `Guru.'

⁷and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.

⁸"Aga koi', neo' -koi mpopebila' pai' doko' rakahangai' `Guru,' apa' hadua-wadi Guru-ni, pai' koi' omea ntali ompi' -wadi.

⁸But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren.

⁹Pai' neo' wo'o nipomolangko rahi ba hema-hema hi dunia' toi pai' mpokahangai' -ra `Tuama,' apa' Tuama-ni hadua-wadi, Hi'a-mi Tuama-ni to hi rala suruga.

⁹And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, [even] he who is in heaven.

¹⁰Pai' neo' wo'o-koi doko' rakahangai' `Pangkeni,' apa' Pangkeni-ni hadua-wadi, Hi'a-mi Magau' Topetolo'.

¹⁰Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, [even] the Christ.

¹¹Hema-koi to doko' bohe tuwu' -na, kana jadi' pahawaa' hi doo-na.

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

¹²Tauna to mpakalangko nono-ra, Pue' Ala bate mpodingkihi-ra, pai' tauna to mpakadingki' nono-ra, Pue' Ala mpomolangko-ra.

¹²And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.

¹³"Pai' koi' guru agama pai' to Parisi! Bate mporata silaka-koi mpai'! Lompe' hi mali-na-wadi-koi! Tauna to doko' jadi' ntodea Alata'ala, nitagi-ra. Koi' moto uma dota jadi' ntodea-na Alata'ala, pai' tau ntani' -na to doko' jadi' ntodea-na, nihalawai' lau-rada. ((

¹³But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter[.]

¹⁴"Silaka-koi, guru agama pai' to Parisi! Lompe' hi mali-na-wadi-koi! Nibagiu tobine tobalu pai' nihagoi tomi-ra. Pai' mosampaya-koi nipomoloe-loe, bona tewunii' gau' -ni to dada'a tetu. Motomo lia mpai' huku' -ni.))

¹⁴Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, even while for a pretence ye make long prayers: therefore ye shall receive greater condemnation.

¹⁵"Silaka-koi, guru agama pai' to Parisi! Lompe' hi mali-na-wadi-koi! Mako' molaa-koi medipo tahi' modao' hi role-na, bona ngalai' ria nte hadua tauna to jadi' topetuku' -ni. Pai' ane ria-pi topetuku' -ni, nitudui' -ra mpotuku' pebagiu-ni, alaa-na meliu kadada'a gau' -ra ngkai koi', pai' meliu kamasipato' -ra rahuku' hi naraka ngkai koi'.

¹⁵Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.

¹⁶"Bate silaka-koi mpai'! Koi' hewa to wero to doko' mpotete' doo! Metudui' -koi hewa toi: Ane ria tauna to mpobabehi pojanci pai' mosumpa-i mpokahangai' Tomi Alata'ala, ni'uli' uma-i tehoo' hante sumpa-na toe. Hiaa' ane mpokahangai' -i bulawa to hi rala Tomi Alata'ala, tehoo' -i hante sumpa-na toe.

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

¹⁷Wojo mpu'u-koi, hewa to wero-koi! Ha ni'uli' -koina bulawa to meliu ngkai Tomi Alata'ala! Hiaa' bo Tomi Alata'ala toe-di to mpomoroli' bulawa to hi rala-na.

¹⁷Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold?

¹⁸Metudui' wo'o-koi hewa toi: Ane tauna mosumpa mpokahangai' meja' pontunua pepue' to hi rala Tomi Alata'ala, uma-i tehoo' hante sumpa-na toe. Aga ane mpokahangai' -i pepue' to ratunu hi lolo meja' toe, ni'uli' bate tehoo' -i hante sumpa-na.

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

¹⁹Hewa to wero mpu'u-koi! Ha ni'uli' -koina, pepue' to meliu ngkai meja' pontunua pepue'? Uma-e', apa' meja' toe-di to mpomoroli' pepue' to hi lolo-nae.

¹⁹Ye blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

²⁰Ane tauna mosumpa mpokahangai' meja' pontunua pepue', batua-na mpokahangai' -i meja' toe pai' hawe'ea to ratunu hi lolo-na.

²⁰He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

²¹Pai' ane tauna mosumpa mpokahangai' Tomi Alata'ala, batua-na mpokahangai' -i Tomi Alata'ala pai' Alata'ala to mo'oha' hi tomi toe.

²¹And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

²²Pai' ane tauna mosumpa mpokahangai' suruga, batua-na mpokahangai' -i pohuraa Alata'ala, pai' mpokahangai' wo'o-i Alata'ala to mohura hi pohuraa toe.

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

²³"Silaka-koi, guru agama pai' to Parisi! Lompe' hi mali-na-wadi-koi! Ntahawe' hinu'a to kedi', hewa tarangkada', ngkoromonyi' pai' wunga bonea, nipopepue' hampobagiahampulu' hi Alata'ala. Hiaa' parenta hi rala Atura Pue' to bohe mpu'u, hewa po'ingku to monoa', ma'ahi' hi doo, pai' mpo'ihii' janci, uma nisaile'. Kakoo-kono-na, ke parenta to bohe toe-hanale to kana nituku' -e, pai' neo' wo'o nilipo' mpotuku' parenta to kedi'.

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

²⁴Koi' hewa towero to mpotete' doo. Koi' hewa tauna to mpolali koromu' nete' ngkai ue ininu-ni, hiaa' hama'a unta, to bohe lia, ni'ome' lau.

²⁴Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel!

²⁵"Silaka-koi, guru agama pai' to Parisi! Lompe' hi mali-na-wadi-koi! Koi' hewa tauna to mpobohoi' sangkiri' pai' piri hi mali-na-wadi, hiaa' hi rala-na babo' moto. Ada agama to kahiloa hi mali-na-wadi nituku' lia. Hiaa' hi rala nono-ni jampa pai' mpokahina anu doo-koi.

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

²⁶Hewa towero mpu'u-koi, koi' to Parisi! Bohoi' ulu rala-na sangkiri', bona lompe' wo'o to hi mali-na.

²⁶Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also.

²⁷"Silaka-koi, guru agama pai' to Parisi! Lompe' hi mali-na-wadi-koi! Hewa daeo' to rasapuru' bula-koi: hi mali-na lompe' -damo hiloa-na, hiaa' bo hi rala-na paka' wuku kiu pai' wori' nyala to merungkui.

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

²⁸Wae wo'o koi': ane hi pogau' to hi mali-na to rahilo doo, monoa' -koi. Hiaa' hi rala nono-ni topebagiu-koi pai' dada'a kehi-ni.

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

²⁹"Silaka-koi, guru agama pai' to Parisi! Lompe' hi mali-na-wadi-koi! Nipenasa-damo mpakalompe' daeo' -ra nabi-nabi pai' tauna to monoa' owi.

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

³⁰Molangko nono-ni, ni'uli': `Ane ke rapa' -na tuwu' -makai hingkala'ia hante totu'a-kai owi, ke uma-ka-kaina mpodohei-ra mpatehi nabi-nabi.'

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

³¹Jadi', nipangaku' moto kakoi' -na muli-ra to mpatehi nabi-nabi, pai' kehi ntu'a-ni tetu bate ni'uhi.

³¹Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets.

³²Wae-pi, pokaliliu lau-mi mpobabehi jeko' hewa to rababehi ntu'a-ni tetu!

³²Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

³³"He topebagiu, he koi' to bengku' gau' -ni! Ha ni'uli' -koina tewi'iha-koi mpai' ngkai huku' -ni hi rala naraka-e?

³³Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell?

³⁵Ntu'a-ni owi mpopatehi wori' tauna to monoa' ingku-ra, ntepu'u ngkai kampopatehi-ra Habel, tauna to monoa' ingku-na owi, rata-rata hi kampopatehi-ni Zakharia ana' Berekia, to nipatehi hi berewe Tomi Alata'ala hi olo' tomi to moroli' pai' meja' pontunua pepue'. Jadi', hi koi' to tuwu' tempo toi, kupahawa' wo'o mpai' nabi, tauna to pante pai' guru to mpotudui' -koi lolita-ku. Hantongo' -ra mpai' nipatehi, hantongo' -ra niparika', ria wo'o-ra to niweba' hi rala tomi posampayaa-ni, ria wo'o-ra to nidapa' hilou hi ngata-ngata petiboa' -ra. Ka'omea-na mpai', koi' to tuwu' tempo toi-mi to mpokolo hawe'ea kasalaa' totu'a-ni to mpatehi tauna to monoa' owi.

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

³⁶Wae mpu'u-di! Koi' to tuwu' tempo toi bate rahuku' sabana hawe'ea kasalaa' -ra totu'a-ni toe.

³⁵that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar.

³⁷"Ee to Yerusalem! to Yerusalem! Nipatehi-ra-koina nabi-nabi, pai' nipana' watu-ra-koina tauna to nasuro Alata'ala hi koi'. Wori' ngkani-mi kupehuka' ngkupui-koi, hewa hama'a manu' tina mpo'urui ana' -na hi une' pani' -na, aga uma-koi dota.

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

³⁸Bona ni'inca: tomi pepuea' -ni toi napalahii-kokoi mpai' Alata'ala.

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

³⁹Mpu'u ku'uli' -kokoi, uma-apa nihiloi, duu' -na rata tempo-na ni'uli': `Une' -imi to rata mpokeni hanga' Pue' Ala!'"

³⁸Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

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.
