Matthew 23
1 JESUS itŭm'sĭtsĭpsiuax akai'tappix ki otŭsksĭnĭmats'ax,
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,
2 Ki an'iu, Ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisees, Moses otsiso'pŏtsĭsaie itau'piau:
“The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat.
3 Ŭnnikaie kitomian'ĭstaniipuai sat'sĭk ki nĭstutsĭk'. Ki manĭstsĭs'tutsipiau, pinan ĭs'tutsik: tŭk'ka itan'iau, ki matsĭstutŭkkiu'axau.
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 Issoksĭs'tsĭsts itau'monĭmiauĕsts soku'ĕsts mŏkopa'tosau ki matap'pix otsĭstsoauĕsts itotom'iauĕsts; ki osto'auai matakotsĭstŭpakiotsĭm'axauĕsts tuks'kŭmi okĭt'suauax.
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 Otokŏnap'otŭksuauĕsts itsĭstuts'ĭmiauĕsts mŏksĭnnu'yĭsau matap'pix: itopŭx'ĭstutsĭmiauĕsts phylacteries, ki itomŭx'ĭstutsĭmĕsts otsaieno'tŭksuauĕsts,
They do all their works to be seen by others. They make their phylacteries wide and the fringes of their garments long.
6 Ki ŭkome'tsĭmiauĕsts oye'tanĭsts ĭstotom'iapioyĭsts, ki natoi'apioyĭsts ĭstotom'isopŏtsĭsts.
They love the place of honor at banquets, the best seats in the synagogues,
7 Ki otsitau'pĭsau itau'pumaupi aiksemattsĭni'otseisĭnni, ki mŏks'ĭnikŏttosau, Rabbi, Rabbi.
greetings in the marketplaces, and when others call them ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’
8 Pinĭs'tsĭnikŭkĭk Rabbi: tuks'kŭmă kitsĭn'aimoauă, Christ: ki ksĕsto'au kĭtokŏnaix'okoauax.
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for there is one who is your instructor, the Christ, and you are all brothers.
9 Ki Pini'nikŏttok matap'pi, annom' ksŏk'kum, kĭn'a; tuks'kŭmă kĭn'oaua annŏk' spots'im itau'piuŏk.
And do not call anyone on earth your father, for there is one who is your Father, he who is in heaven.
10 Ki pinitsĭn'ikŭkĭk Nin'ax: tuks'kŭma kitsĭn'aimoaua, Christ.
Neither are you to be called instructors, for there is one who is your instructor, the Christ.
11 Annŏk' omŭx'ĭmŏk ksĕsto'au, kitak'apotomokoau.
But he who is greater among you must be your servant.
12 Annŏk' ak'omuxĭstutosiuŏk, aks'inŭxĭstutoau; ki annŏk' aksinŭx'ĭstutosiuŏk, ak'omŭxĭstutoau.
For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 Kitaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai! Kitsitaiok'iauaiau matap'pix Spots'im ĭstsĭn'naiisĭnni: ksĕsto'au kimatsitaipipuau'ats, ki aiaksipimix kimats'epokkitsetomauaxau mŏk'itsipĭsau.
“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 Kitaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai! Nam'akex oko'auĕsts kitau'attopuaiau, ki kitaisŭmiksĭstapatsĭmoiikapuau: mĭs'tŭpkapii kitakoku'yisuai.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor do you let in those who are trying to enter.
15 Kitaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai kitotka'atau ksŏk'kum ki omŭk'sikĭmi kŏk'itokonoŏsi tuks'kŭmă matap'iuă mŏkĭtanĭs'tsitsitasi kanĭstsitsi'tawpi kitaumaitu'yĭssi, kanĭstŭm'ipuai ksĕsto'au Hell oku'yix kitak'anĭstsĭstokiaiĭstutoauau. (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 Kitaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au kitsaps'tsiotŭpĭnŭkipuau, kitan'ipuau annŏk' akitup'ŭtauŭniuŏk omŭk'atoiapioyĭs matsikiu'ats, ki annŏk' akitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk omŭk'atoiapioyĭs ĭsto'tokuiĭxkĭm, aks'ĭstutsĭmaie!
“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 Kitŭt'tsapspuau, kitsaps'tsiipuau: Tsĭma' omŭk'o. Otoku'iĭxkĭm, ki omŭk'atoiapioyĭs annik' itatsĭm'mĭmmiik otoku'iĭxkĭm.
You fools and blind men! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
18 Ki annŏk' akitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk altar, matsikiu'ats; ki annŏk' akitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk kotŭk'sĭnni altar itokhĭts'tsipi, ai'aksĭstutsĭmaie.
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 Kitŭt'tsapspuau, kitsaps'tsipuau Tsĭma' omŭk'o, kotŭk'sĭnni, ki altar annŏk' itatsĭm'etsĭmŏk kotŭk'sĭnni?
You fools and blind men! Which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
20 Annŏk' aiakitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk altar, itup'ŭtauŭniu altar ki mian'ĭsttokhĭtstsii.
Therefore, whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21 Ki annŏk' aiakitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk omŭk'atoiapioyĭs, itŭp'ŭtauŭniu omŭk'atoiapioyĭs ki annŏk' iko'attomŏk.
And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it.
22 Ki annŏk' aiakitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk spots' im, itŭp'ŭtauŭniu Ap'ĭstotokiuă otspiso'pŏtsis ki annŏk' itokhittaupiuŏk.
And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.
23 Kitaks'ksĭnipuau makapi ksĕsto'au ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai!

“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 done without neglecting the others.
24 Kits' apstsiotŭpĭnŭkipuau, kitai'soautsauau inŭx'soĭsksĭssi, ki kitaits'ĭssttimauau camel:
You blind guides, who strain out a gnat but swallow a camel!

“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 Kitsaps'tsii Pharisee, matom'siitau pistots'im kos'ă ki saiĕtso'kosa mŏk'ŭtsitsiksixĭssi sauauts'i,
Yoʋ blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside of them will also be clean.
27 Kitsaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisee kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai! Ksĭkoken'imanĭsts kine'tŭmanĭstspuau ai'ŏkhsĭnipiau sauauts'ĭstsi, ki pĭstots' im itui'tsiau enix' okin'oauĕsts ki makap'ĭsts.
“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 Netoi'nitsiii ksĕsto'au kĭto'kŏmotsitappiĭnipuau matap'pi, ki pĭstots'im kitotuitskitsipuai ksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiisĭnni ki sauum'itsitappiisĭnni.
In the same way, you also appear righteous to others on the outside, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 Kitaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au ai'sinakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai! Kitap'ĭstutsipuaiau prophetix otoken'imanoauĕsts, ki kita'nŭtsĭstutsipuaiau mokŏm'otsitappix otoken'imanoauĕsts,
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the graves of the righteous,
30 Ki kitanipuau nitsa'kiaitappiipĭnanopi nĭn'anĭx otsa'kiaitappiisau nĭs'tasauopoksĭstokemaumŭnanopiau prophetix otsa'apŭnoauĕsts.
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 Ŭn'nikaie kit'auŭtanipuau, ksĕsto'auŭkauk anniks'isk matap'pixk initsixk' prophetsix o'kosoauax.
Therefore you bear witness against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
32 Tu'itok kĭn'oauax otsauum'itsitappiisuauĕsts.
Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
33 Pitseksĭnax, opĭx'exĭnasĭnna, Tsa'a kitakanĭstupĭs'tapixsattopats Hell ĭstokŏk'itsimani? (Geenna g1067)
You serpents, you brood of vipers! How will you escape being sentenced to hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Ŭn'nikaie, sat'sĭk kĭtakittŭp'skoaiau ksĕsto'au prophetix, ki mokŏk'ietappix ki ai'sĭnakix: ki stsĭk'ĭx kitax'enitauaiau ki kitiikau'aistauaiau; ki stsĭk'ĭx kitakitsipstŭstsipĭs'auaiau kitatoi'apioyimoauests, ki kĭtak'auksĭstutuauaiau amian'ĭstakap'ioyĭsts otai'akitsipĭsau:
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.

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 Kitau'mŭnĭstopuau kŏnai'sĭstskă aunok' o'tappiisĭnna akĭtotu'iĕsts.
Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

“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 Sat'sĭk, Koko'auai nam'itaitsiu kĭt'skĭtomoko.
Behold, your house is left to you desolate.

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!’”
