1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
1Antunchi O Jesus phendia le narodoske ai peske disiplonge,
2saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses’ seat.
2"Le Gramnoturia ai le Farizeanuria thodepe ando than le Mosesosko.
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.
3Keren so mothon ai sikaven tumen: numa na keren sar lende, ke won sikaven tumen numa chi keren so sikaven.
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.
4Thon pharipe pel dume le manushenge, numa won chi mangen te vazden ek nai.
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,
5Ai won so godi keren keren kashte te dikhen le manush pe lende. Phiraven E Vorba le Devleski pe pengo shero ai pengo vas, ai lunzharen le chukuria ka penge tsalia!
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
6Ai drago lenge te beshen ka shero la skafidiako kal pachiva, ai le mai lashe skamina ande synagogue.
7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
7Ai drago lenge te den le dies lasho pel vulitsi, ai te mothon lenge le manush, "Rabbi"
8 But don’t you be called ‘Rabbi,’ for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
8"Na roden te akharen tume "Rabbi" ke iek si tumaro gazda, "O Kristo" ai tume san sa phral.
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
9Na phenen kanikaske pe phuv "Murho Dat". Ke iek ferdi si tumaro Dat kodo kai si ando rhaio.
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
10Na roden te akharen tume "Baro", ke iek si tumaro "Baro", "O Kristo".
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
11"O mai baro mashkar tumende trobul te avel tumari sluga.
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
12Kon godi bariarelape si te avel teliardo, ai kon godi mekelape tele si te avel vazdino.
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.
13"Nasul tumenge, Gramnoturia ai Farizeanuria! Tume manush kai ankerdion so chi san! Ke tume phandaven le manushenge, e amperetsia le rhaioski, tume chi zhan andre, ai chi meken te zhan andre kodola kai mangen te zhan andre!
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.
14Nasul tumenge, Gramnoturia ai Farizeanuria Tume manush kai ankerdion so chi san! Ke tume xan le phivliange khera, ai rhugin tume lungo rhugimos, te miazol ke lashe san! Anda kodia si te pherel mai phari kris pe tumende!
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.
15Nasul tumenge, Gramnoturia ai Farizeanuria! Tume manush kai ankerdion so chi san! Tume phiren pe swako rig la phuviake ai pe maria te nirin ai te parhuven iekes manushes; antunchi, keren anda leste duvar mai but shav iadosko sar tume!
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.’
16"Nasul tumenge, tume korhe kai ningeren le korhen! Tume phenen, "Kon godi solaxala pe tamplo, kodia nai khanchi; numa kon godi solaxala po sumnakai kai si ande tamplo, kodo phanglo lo ka peske solax!"
17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
17Tume prosti ai korhe manush! So si mai baro, o sumnakai vai e tamplo kai swuntsol o sumnakai?
18 ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?’
18Ai kon godi solaxala po altari, kodia nai khanchi, numa kon godi solaxala pe soste si shinado po altari, phanglo lo ka peske solax.
19 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
19Tume prosti ai korhe manush! So si mai baro, so si shinado po altari vai o altari kai swuntsol so si shinado po altari?
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
20Kon godi solaxal po altari, solaxal po altari ai pe soste godi si po altari.
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who was living NU reads “lives” in it.
21Ai kodo kai solaxal pe tamplo, solaxal vi pe tamplo ai po Del kai si ande tamplo.
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
22Ai kodo kai solaxal po rhaio, solaxal vi po skamin le Devlesko ai po Del kai beshel pe leste.
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.
23"Nasul tumenge, Gramnoturia ai Farizeanuria! Tume manush kai ankerdion so chi san! Ke tume den desh anda iek shel e partia kai trobun te den andai mai tsinorhi diela, Mint, Dill, ai Cummin, numa chi keren so si mai baro ando zakono. So si vorta, Mila; ai Pachamos.
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
24Tume korhe kai sikaven kavren! Tume arakhen tume kaste te na nakhaven tsintsari, numa e gemula nakhavel!
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”
25"Nasul tumenge, tume Gramnoturia ai Farizeanuria! Tume manush kai ankerdion so chi san! Ke tume vuzharen avrial e kuchi ai o tiari, numa andral san pherde chorimos, atsaimos ai keren so si tumenge mishto.
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
26Tume korhe Farizeanuria! Vuzharen andral mai anglal e kuchi ai o tiari, kashte te avel vuzho vi avrial!
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.
27"Nasul tumenge, Gramnoturia ai Farizeanuria! Tume manush kai ankerdion so chi san! Tume san sar greposhevuria vusharade, ai kerde te miazon shukar avrial, numa andral pherde mule manushenge kokala ai so godi nai vuzho.
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
28Sakadia vi tume avrial miazon vorta le manushenge, numa andral bezexale san ai chi san so keren te miazon.
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
29"Nasul tumenge, Gramnoturia ai Farizeanuria! Tume manush kai ankerdion so chi san! Ke tume thon le murmunturia le profetonge, ai shukaren le greposhevuria manushenge kai sas chache;
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.’
30ai phenen, "Te traiisardiamas andel diesa amare dadenge ai paponge, nas te mudaras le profeton sar kerde won.
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
31Ke mothon kadia san marturis tumenge ke san shave kodolenge kai mudarde le profeton!
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
32Tume geton so tumare dada thodepe de anda gor te keren!
33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna or, Hell ?
33Tume sap, tume vitsa sapenge! Sar skepina e kris kai tradela tume ando iado?
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;
34"Anda kodia tradav tumenge profeturia ai manush kai haliaren ai le manush kai sikaven; uni anda lende mudaren ai thona po trushul, avren si te maren bichonsa ande tumare synagoguria, ai chinuina le foro forestar.
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.
35Kadia si te perel e dosh pe tumende pala sa o rat shordo ande lumia chache manushengo, de katar o rat le Abelosko o chacho, zhi ka rat le Zachariahosko, o shav le Barachiasesko, kai tume mudardian mashkar e tamplo ai o altari.
36 Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
36O chachimos me mothav tumenge, sa e dosh si te perel pe kadia vitsa!"
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!
37"Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Kai mudaren le profeton ai kai shuden baxensa ande kodola kai si tumenge tradine! Sodivar manglem te chidav che shaven, sar ek kaini kai chidel peske puion tela peske paka numa chi manglian.
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
38Eta so ashshilo tume tumari tamplo pusto.
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
39Me mothav tumenge, chi mai dikhena ma zhi pon chi mothona, Raduime kodo kai avel ando anav le Devlesko."
