1 Orduan Iesus minça cequien gendetzey eta bere discipuluey.
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,
2 Cioela, Moysesen cadirán iarten dirade Scribác eta Phariseuac:
“The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat.
3 Cerere bada erranen baitrauçue beguira deçaçuen, beguira eçaçue eta eguiçue: baina hayén obrén araura eztaguiçuela: ecen erraiten duté, eta ez eguiten.
Therefore observe and do all that they tell you to observe. But do not do what they do, for they say things and do not do them.
4 Ecen carga piçuac eta iassan ecin daitezquenac biltzen dituzté, eta eçarten guiçonén soinetara: baina bere erhiaz hunqui nahi eztituzté.
They bind burdens that are heavy and hard to bear and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 Eta bere obra guciac eguiten dituzté guiçonéz ikus ditecençát: ecen çabaltzen dituzté bere philacterioac, eta luçatzen dituzté bere veztimendetaco bazterrac.
They do all their works to be seen by others. They make their phylacteries wide and the fringes of their garments long.
6 Eta on darizté lehen placey banquetetan, eta lehen cadirey synagoguetan,
They love the place of honor at banquets, the best seats in the synagogues,
7 Eta salutationey merkatuetan, eta guiçonéz deithu içateari Magistruá, Magistruá.
greetings in the marketplaces, and when others call them ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’
8 Baina çuec etzaiteztela dei Magistru: ecen bat da çuen doctora, Christ: eta çuec gucioc, anaye çarete.
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for there is one who is your instructor, the Christ, and you are all brothers.
9 Eta çuen aita ezteçaçuela nehor dei lurrean: ecen bat da çuen Aita, ceruètan dena.
And do not call anyone on earth your father, for there is one who is your Father, he who is in heaven.
10 Eta etzaiteztela dei doctor: ecen bat da çuen doctora, Christ.
Neither are you to be called instructors, for there is one who is your instructor, the Christ.
11 Baina çuen artean handién dena, biz çuen cerbitzari.
But he who is greater among you must be your servant.
12 Ecen bere buruä goraturen duena, beheraturen da: eta bere buruä beheraturen duena, goraturen da.
For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 Baina maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ceren ersten baituçue ceruètaco resumá guiçonén aitzinean: ecen çuec etzarete sartzen, eta sartzen diradenac eztituçue vtziten sartzera.
“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive a more severe judgment.
14 Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác, ecen iresten dituçue ema alhargunén etcheac, are luçaqui othoitz eguin irudiz: halacotz duçue condemnatione handiagoa recebituren.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut people out of the kingdom of heaven. You yourselves do not enter, nor do you let in those who are trying to enter.
15 Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác, ecen itsassoa eta leihorra inguratzen dituçue, proselytobat daguiçuençát, eta eguin denean, gehennaco seme eguiten duçue dobláz ceuroc baino areago. (Geenna g1067)
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cross sea and land to make a single convert, and when he has become one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 Maledictione çuen gainean guidari itsuác, ceinéc baitioçue, Norc-ere iuraturen baitu templeaz, ezta deus: baina norc-ere iuraturen baitu templeco vrrheaz, çordun da.
“Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’
17 Erhoác eta itsuác, cein da handiago vrrhea, ala vrrhea sanctificatzen duen templea?
You fools and blind men! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
18 Eta erraiten duçue, norc-ere iuraturen baitu aldareaz, ezta deus: baina norc-ere iuraturen baitu haren gainean den oblationeaz, çordun da.
You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’
19 Erhoác eta itsuác, cein da handiago oblationea, ala oblationea sanctificatzen duen aldarea?
You fools and blind men! Which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
20 Beraz aldareaz iuratzen duenac, iuratzen du harçaz, eta haren gainean diraden gauça guciéz.
Therefore, whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21 Eta norc-ere iuratzen baitu templeaz, iuratzen du harçaz, eta hartan habitatzen denaz.
And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it.
22 Eta iuratzen duenac ceruäz, iuratzen du Iaincoaren thronoaz eta haren gainean iarriric dagoenaz.
And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.
23 Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ecen detchematzen dituçue menta eta anisa eta cuminoa, eta vtziten dituçue Legueco gauça piçuagoac, hala nola, iugemendua eta misericordia eta leyaltatea: gauça hauc eguin behar ciraden, eta hec ez vtzi.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, yet you have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. These you ought to have practiced without neglecting the others.
24 Guidari itsuác, eltzoa irazten duçue: eta camelua iresten.
You blind guides, who strain out a gnat but swallow a camel!
25 Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ecen coparen eta plataren campoco aldea chahutzen duçue: baina barnetic dirade arrauberiaz, eta eccessez betheac.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but the inside is filled with the fruits of your robbery and unrighteousness.
26 Phariseu itsuá, chahu eçac lehenic coparen eta plataren barnecoa, hayén campocoa-ere chahu dadinçát.
Yoʋ blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside of them will also be clean.
27 Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ecen sepulchre churituac irudi duçue, hec campotic eder eracusten dirade: baina barnetic hilén heçurrez eta satsutassun oroz betheac dirade.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside they are full of the bones of the dead and all uncleanness.
28 Halaber çuec-ere campotic guiçoney eracusten çarete iusto, baina barnean hypocrisiaz eta iniquitatez betheac çarete.
In the same way, you also appear righteous to others on the outside, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ecen Prophetén sepulchreac edificatzen dituçue, eta iustoén monumentac ornatzen.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the graves of the righteous,
30 Eta dioçue, Baldin gure aitén egunetan içan baguina, ezquinén hayén lagun içanen Prophetén odolean.
and you say, ‘If we had been alive in the days of our fathers, we would not have been participants with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’
31 Halatan testificatzen duçue ceurón buruén contra, ecen Prophetác hil dituztenén seme çaretela.
Therefore you bear witness against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
32 Çuec-ere betha eçaçue çuen aitén neurria.
Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
You serpents, you brood of vipers! How will you escape being sentenced to hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Halacotz huná, nic igorten ditut çuetara Prophetác eta Çuhurrac eta Scribác eta hetaric batzu hilen dituçue eta crucificaturen: eta hetaric batzu açotaturen dituçue çuen synagoguetan, eta persecutaturen hiritic hirira:
Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets, sages, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town.
35 Dathorrençát çuén gainera lurraren gainean issuri içan den odol iusto guçia, Abel iustoaren odoletic, Zacharia Barachiaren semearen odoleranocoa, cein hil vkan baituçue templearen eta aldarearen artean.
As a result, all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth will come upon you, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
36 Eguiaz diotsuet, ethorrico dirade gauça hauc guciac natione hunen gainera.
Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37 Ierusalem, Ierusalem, Prophetác hiltzen eta hiregana igorriac lapidatzen dituaná, cembatetan bildu nahi vkan ditut hire haourrac, oilloac bere chitoac hegalen azpira biltzen dituen beçala, eta ezpaituc nahi vkan?
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to yoʋ! How often I have wanted to gather yoʋr children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
38 Horrá, guelditzen çaiçue çuen etchea desert.
Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
39 Ecen badiotsuet, eznauçue ikussiren hemendic harát derraqueçueno, Benedicatu dela Iaunaren icenean ethorten dena.
For I tell you, from now on you will certainly not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
