Matthew 23
1 JESUS itŭm'sĭtsĭpsiuax akai'tappix ki otŭsksĭnĭmats'ax,
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples.
2 Ki an'iu, Ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisees, Moses otsiso'pŏtsĭsaie itau'piau:
He said, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.
3 Ŭnnikaie kitomian'ĭstaniipuai sat'sĭk ki nĭstutsĭk'. Ki manĭstsĭs'tutsipiau, pinan ĭs'tutsik: tŭk'ka itan'iau, ki matsĭstutŭkkiu'axau.
Therefore whatever they command you to do, do these things and observe them. But do not imitate their deeds, for they say things but then 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.
Yes, they bind heavy burdens that are difficult to carry, and then they put them on people's shoulders. But they themselves will not move a finger to carry them.
5 Otokŏnap'otŭksuauĕsts itsĭstuts'ĭmiauĕsts mŏksĭnnu'yĭsau matap'pix: itopŭx'ĭstutsĭmiauĕsts phylacteries, ki itomŭx'ĭstutsĭmĕsts otsaieno'tŭksuauĕsts,
They do all their deeds to be seen by people. For they make their phylacteries wide, and they enlarge the edges of their garments.
6 Ki ŭkome'tsĭmiauĕsts oye'tanĭsts ĭstotom'iapioyĭsts, ki natoi'apioyĭsts ĭstotom'isopŏtsĭsts.
They love the chief places at feasts and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 Ki otsitau'pĭsau itau'pumaupi aiksemattsĭni'otseisĭnni, ki mŏks'ĭnikŏttosau, Rabbi, Rabbi.
and special greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi' by people.
8 Pinĭs'tsĭnikŭkĭk Rabbi: tuks'kŭmă kitsĭn'aimoauă, Christ: ki ksĕsto'au kĭtokŏnaix'okoauax.
But you must not be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one teacher, and all you are brothers.
9 Ki Pini'nikŏttok matap'pi, annom' ksŏk'kum, kĭn'a; tuks'kŭmă kĭn'oaua annŏk' spots'im itau'piuŏk.
And call no man on earth your father, for you have only one Father, and he is in heaven.
10 Ki pinitsĭn'ikŭkĭk Nin'ax: tuks'kŭma kitsĭn'aimoaua, Christ.
Neither must you be called 'teacher,' for you have only one teacher, the Christ.
11 Annŏk' omŭx'ĭmŏk ksĕsto'au, kitak'apotomokoau.
But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
12 Annŏk' ak'omuxĭstutosiuŏk, aks'inŭxĭstutoau; ki annŏk' aksinŭx'ĭstutosiuŏk, ak'omŭxĭstutoau.
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! You shut the kingdom of heaven against people. For you do not enter it yourselves, and neither do you allow those about to enter to do so.
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.
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 go over sea and land to make one convert, and when he has become one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you. (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, you blind guides, you who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing. But whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound to his oath.'
17 Kitŭt'tsapspuau, kitsaps'tsiipuau: Tsĭma' omŭk'o. Otoku'iĭxkĭm, ki omŭk'atoiapioyĭs annik' itatsĭm'mĭmmiik otoku'iĭxkĭm.
You blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy?
18 Ki annŏk' akitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk altar, matsikiu'ats; ki annŏk' akitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk kotŭk'sĭnni altar itokhĭts'tsipi, ai'aksĭstutsĭmaie.
And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing. But whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is bound to his oath.'
19 Kitŭt'tsapspuau, kitsaps'tsipuau Tsĭma' omŭk'o, kotŭk'sĭnni, ki altar annŏk' itatsĭm'etsĭmŏk kotŭk'sĭnni?
You blind people! Which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift holy?
20 Annŏk' aiakitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk altar, itup'ŭtauŭniu altar ki mian'ĭsttokhĭtstsii.
Therefore, he who 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.
The one who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who lives in it.
22 Ki annŏk' aiakitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk spots' im, itŭp'ŭtauŭniu Ap'ĭstotokiuă otspiso'pŏtsis ki annŏk' itokhittaupiuŏk.
And the one who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
23 Kitaks'ksĭnipuau makapi ksĕsto'au ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai! Kitai'ponitasuai mint ki anise ki cummin, ki ĭssoku'ĭsts kimatsatsipuauĕstsau, okŏk'itsimanĭsts, kĭm'apiisĭnni ki aumai'tŭksĭnni: am'osts ŏkh'si kŏk'satsŏsuaiau; ki mat'ŏkhsiuats kŏk staiĭstutsĭssuai stsĭk'ists.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, but you have left undone the weightier matters of the law—justice and mercy and faith. But these you ought to have done and not to have left the other undone.
24 Kits' apstsiotŭpĭnŭkipuau, kitai'soautsauau inŭx'soĭsksĭssi, ki kitaits'ĭssttimauau camel:
You blind guides, you who strain out a gnat but swallow a camel!
25 Kitaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au ai'sinakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai! Kŏs'ă ki saiĕtso'kosi sauauts'i kitŭs'siipuaiau, ki pĭstots'ĭm itui'tsiau minĭk'otŭksĭnni ki auŭt'tseisĭnni.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
26 Kitsaps'tsii Pharisee, matom'siitau pistots'im kos'ă ki saiĕtso'kosa mŏk'ŭtsitsiksixĭssi sauauts'i,
You blind Pharisee! Clean first the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may become clean also.
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 on the outside look beautiful, but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.
28 Netoi'nitsiii ksĕsto'au kĭto'kŏmotsitappiĭnipuau matap'pi, ki pĭstots'im kitotuitskitsipuai ksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiisĭnni ki sauum'itsitappiisĭnni.
In the same way, you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but on the 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 decorate the tombs of the righteous.
30 Ki kitanipuau nitsa'kiaitappiipĭnanopi nĭn'anĭx otsa'kiaitappiisau nĭs'tasauopoksĭstokemaumŭnanopiau prophetix otsa'apŭnoauĕsts.
You say, 'If we had lived 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 testify against yourselves that you are sons of those who killed the prophets.
32 Tu'itok kĭn'oauax otsauum'itsitappiisuauĕsts.
You also fill up the measure of your fathers.
33 Pitseksĭnax, opĭx'exĭnasĭnna, Tsa'a kitakanĭstupĭs'tapixsattopats Hell ĭstokŏk'itsimani? (Geenna g1067)
You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of 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, see, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some you will whip in your synagogues and drive them out from city to city.
35 Mŏkĭttokh'ittaitsĭssi ksĕsto'au kŏnau'kŏmotsitappiaapŭni ksŏk'kum itsai'kimskaii. Abel mokŏm'otsitappiuă otsa'apŭn itŭpots'tsiuaie Zacharias, Barachias okku'i otsa'apŭniaie annŏk', kitsitsenitauauŏk itŭt'sikatsi omŭk'atoiapioyĭs ki altar.
The result is that upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary 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.
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem ksĕsto'auă kitai'nitauaie prophetĭx, ki anniks'isk itŭp'skuaxk ksĕsto'auă ok'otokĭx kumutauauaiak'iauaiau, nŏkstanĭstsikapumoi'piauopi ko'kosoauax nipuau'ă manĭstau'moipiopi o'kosĭx ki kimat'ŏkhsitsipuau'ats!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often did I long to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
38 Sat'sĭk, Koko'auai nam'itaitsiu kĭt'skĭtomoko.
See, your house is left to you desolate.
39 Kitan'ĭstopuau, ĭssoots'i kimatakainokipuaua sauanenoainiki Atsĭm'siu annŏk' paiuksipu'ŏk Ap'istotokiuă otsĭn'ikŏsĭm.
For I say to you, You will not see me from now on until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'”
