²saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses’ seat.

²a riekol: Na stolici Mojžišovej posadili sa zákonníci a farizeovia;

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.

³tedy všetko, čo by vám povedali, aby ste zachovávali, zachovávajte a čiňte, ale podľa ich skutkov nečiňte, lebo hovoria, ale nečinia.

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.

⁴A viažu ťažké bremená a neznesiteľné a uvaľujú ich na plecia ľudí, ale oni sami nechcú ich pohnúť svojím prstom.

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,

⁵A všetky svoje skutky činia nato, aby ich ľudia videli. Lebo rozširujú svoje filaktéria a robia veľké podolky svojich plášťov;

⁶ and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,

⁷a pozdravovania na trhoch, a aby ich ľudia volali: Rabbi! Rabbi!

⁸ But don’t you be called ‘Rabbi,’ for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.

⁸Ale vy sa nevolajte rabbim, lebo jeden je váš Učiteľ, Kristus, a vy všetci ste bratia.

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

⁹A svojím otcom nenazývajte nikoho na zemi, lebo jeden je váš Otec, ten, ktorý je v nebesiach.

¹⁰ Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.

¹⁰Ani sa nenazývajte duchovnými vodcami, lebo jeden je váš vodca, Kristus.

¹¹ But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.

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.

¹³Ale beda vám, zákonníci a farizeovia, pokrytci, pretože zavierate nebeské kráľovstvo pred ľuďmi, lebo vy do neho nevchádzate ani tých, ktorí vchádzajú, nenecháte vojsť.

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.

¹⁴Beda vám zákonníci a farizeovia, pokrytci, pretože zožierate domy vdôv, a to pod zámienkou dlhého modlenia; preto ponesiete ťažší súd.

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.

¹⁵Beda vám zákonníci a farizeovia, pokrytci, pretože obchádzate more i suchú zem, aby ste učinili jedného novoverca, a keď sa ním niekto stane, činíte z neho syna pekla, dva razy horšieho ako ste sami.

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.’

¹⁶Beda vám, slepí vodcovia, ktorí hovoríte: Kto by prisahal na chrám, to nie je nič; ale kto by prisahal na zlato chrámu, ten je povinný držať.

¹⁷ You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?

¹⁷Blázni a slepci, veď čože je väčšie, zlato a či chrám, ktorý posväcuje zlato?

¹⁸ ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?’

¹⁸A kto by vraj prisahal na oltár, to nie je nič; ale kto by prisahal na dar, ktorý je na ňom, ten je povinný držať.

¹⁹ You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

¹⁹Blázni a slepci, veď čože je väčšie, dar a či oltár, ktorý posväcuje dar?

²⁰ He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.

²⁰A tak tedy ten, kto prisahá na oltár, prisahá naň i na všetko. čo je na ňom;

²¹ He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who was living NU reads “lives” in it.

²¹a ten, kto prisahá na chrám, prisahá naň i na toho, ktorý býva v ňom;

²² He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.

²²a ten, kto prisahá na nebo, prisahá na trón Boží, i na toho, ktorý sedí na ňom.

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.

²³Beda vám, zákonníci a farizeovia, pokrytci, pretože dávate desiatky z máty, z kôpru a kmínu a opustili ste to, čo je ťažšieho v zákone, súd, milosrdenstvo a vernosť; toho bolo treba činiť a tamto neopustiť.

²⁴ You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!

²⁴Slepí vodcovia, ktorí cedíte komára a veľblúda prehlcujete!

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”

²⁵Beda vám, zákonníci a farizeovia, pokrytci, pretože čistíte vonok pohára a misy, ale zvnútra sú plné lúpeže a nezdržanlivosti!

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

²⁶Farizee, slepče, vyčisti najprv vnútro pohára a misy, aby bol čistý aj ich vonok!

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.

²⁷Beda vám, zákonníci a farizeovia, pokrytci, pretože sa podobáte hrobom, obieleným vápnom, ktoré sa síce zvonku zdajú byť krásnymi, ale vnútri sú plné umrlčích kostí a každej nečistoty.

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

²⁸Tak aj vy, zvonku síce zdáte sa ľuďom, že ste spravedliví, ale vnútri ste plní pokrytectva a neprávosti.

²⁹ “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous,

²⁹Beda vám, zákonníci a farizeovia, pokrytci, že staviate hroby prorokov a ozdobujete pomníky spravedlivých

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.’

³⁰a hovoríte: Keby sme boli žili za dní našich otcov, neboli by sme bývali ich spoluúčastníkmi na krvi prorokov.

³¹ Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.

³¹A tak sami si vydávate svedoctvo, že ste synovia tých, ktorí povraždili prorokov.

³² Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.

³²Naplňte aj vy mieru svojich otcov!

³³ You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna or, Hell ?

³³Hadi! Plemä vreteníc, ako by ste vy utiekli odsúdeniu do pekla?!

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;

³⁴Preto hľa, ja posielam k vám prorokov a múdrych a učených v zákone, a niektorých z nich zabijete a ukrižujete a niektorých z nich zbičujete vo svojich synagógach a budete ich prenasledovať z mesta do mesta,

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.

³⁵aby prišla na vás všetka krv spravedlivá, vylievaná na zemi, od krvi spravedlivého Ábela až po krv Zachariáša, syna Barachiášovho, ktorého ste zavraždili medzi chrámom a oltárom.

³⁶ Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.

³⁶Ameň vám hovorím, že prijde toto všetko na toto pokolenie.

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!

³⁷Jeruzaleme, Jeruzaleme, ty, ktorý vraždíš prorokov a kameňuješ tých, ktorí sú kedy poslaní k tebe, koľko ráz som chcel shromaždiť tvoje deti, tak ako sliepka shromažďuje svoje kuriatka pod svoje krýdla, ale nechceli ste!

³⁸ Behold, your house is left to you desolate.

³⁸Hľa, zanecháva sa vám váš dom pustý!

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

³⁹Lebo vám hovorím, že ma už odteraz nikdy neuvidíte, až poviete: Požehnaný, ktorý prichádza v mene Pánovom!
