Then spake Iesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 “Cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek tah Moses kah ngoltlang dongah ngol uh.
Saying, The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.
3 Te dongah nangmih taengah a thui uh sarhui te boeih vai uh lamtah tuem uh. Tedae amih kah khoboe bangla saii uh boeh, a thui uh tih a vai uh haew moenih.
All therefore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and doe: but after their workes doe not: for they say, and doe not.
4 Te phoeiah hno te a rhih la a boep uh tih phueihtloel la hlang kah laengpang dongah a tloeng uh dae amamih tah a kutdawn nen khaw tat sak ham ngaih uh pawh.
For they binde heauie burdens, and grieuous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders, but they themselues will not moue them with one of their fingers.
5 A khoboe te khaw hlang kah a hmuh la boeih a saii uh. A cacimbu te a kaa uh tih salaw te oep uh.
All their workes they doe for to be seene of men: for they make their phylacteries broad, and make long the frindges of their garments,
6 Buhkung ah hmuensang, tunim ah ngolhmuen then neh,
And loue the chiefe place at feastes, and to haue the chiefe seates in the assemblies,
7 Hnoyoih hmuen kah toidalnah uh neh hlang loh Rhabbi la a khue te a lungnah uh.
And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 Tedae nangmih tah Rhabbi la n'khue boel saeh. Nangmih kah saya tah pakhat ni aka om tih nangmih boeih te boeinaphung la na om uh.
But be not ye called, Rabbi: for one is your doctour, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren.
9 Te dongah diklai hmankah he pa la na khue uh mahpawh, vaan kah pa pakhat ni nangmih ham a om.
And call no man your father vpon the earth: for there is but one, your father which is in heauen.
10 Mawtkung la n'khue uh boel saeh, Khrih tah nangmih mawtkung la rhenten om coeng.
Be not called doctours: for one is your doctour, euen Christ.
11 Nangmih khuikah aka tanglue tah nangmih kah tueihyoeih la om ni.
But he that is greatest among you, let him be your seruant.
12 Tedae amah aka pomsang te tah tlarhoel vetih amah aka tlarhoel te tah a pomsang ni.
For whosoeuer will exalt himselfe, shall be brought lowe: and whosoeuer will humble himselfe, shalbe exalted.
13 Anunae nangmih cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee hlangthai palat rhoek, hlang kah hmaiah vaan ram te na khaih uh tih, namamih khaw na kun uh pawh, aka kun rhoek te khaw kun ham na hlah pa uh pawh.
Wo therefore be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites, because ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men: for ye your selues go not in, neither suffer ye them that would enter, to come in.
14 Nuhmai kah imlo te na yoop uh phoeiah a hmanhu ah puet na thangthui uh. Te dongah nangmih kah laitloekkung la om uh ni.
Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers: wherefore ye shall receiue the greater damnation.
15 Anunae nangmih cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee hlangthai palat rhoek, pakhat te poehlip sak ham tuili neh rhamrhae na hil uh. Tedae a om tanglai vaengah tah anih te namamih laklah rhaepnit la hell kah a ca la na poeh sak uh. (Geenna g1067)
Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye compasse sea and land to make one of your profession: and when he is made, ye make him two folde more the childe of hell, then you your selues. (Geenna g1067)
16 Anunae nangmih mawtkung mikdael rhoek, 'Bawkim neh aka toemngam te tah a toemngam phu om pawh, tedae bawkim kah sui neh a toemngam te man a kuek nah mako,’ aka ti rhoek
Wo be vnto you blinde guides, which say, Whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the Temple, he offendeth.
17 Mikdael neh hlang ang rhoek, melae tanglue la aka om? Sui a? Sui aka ciim bawkim a?
Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the golde, or the Temple that sanctifieth the golde?

And whosoeuer sweareth by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the offering that is vpon it, offendeth.
19 Mikdael rhoek aw melae a tanglue? Kutdoe a? Kutdoe aka ciim hmueihtuk a?
Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering?
20 Te dongah hmueihtuk neh aka toemngam tah hmueihtuk neh a sokah boeih boeih neh a toemngam coeng.
Whosoeuer therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 Te phoeiah Bawkim neh aka toemngam tah Bawkim neh a tolvael te a toemngam coeng.
And whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye tithe mynt, and annyse, and cummyn, and leaue the weightier matters of the law, as iudgement, and mercy and fidelitie. These ought ye to haue done, and not to haue left the other.
24 Mawtkung mikdael rhoek, pildik pataeng na soih u dae kalauk na dolh uh.
Ye blinde guides, which straine out a gnat, and swallowe a camell.

Thou blinde Pharise, cleanse first the inside of the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be cleane also.
27 Anunae nangmih cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee hlangthai palat rhoek, hlan a bok neh na loo uh. Te te ahmanhu ah sawtthen la tueng dae aka duek kah a rhuh neh rhongingnah boeih neh bae.
Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are like vnto whited tombes, which appeare beautifull outward, but are within full of dead mens bones, and all filthines.
28 Nangmih khaw a hmanhu ah tah hlang dueng la na phoe uh tangloeng ngawn, tedae a khuiah thailatnah neh olaeknah a bae la om.
So are ye also: for outwarde ye appeare righteous vnto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisie and iniquitie.
29 Anunae nangmih cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee hlangthai palat rhoek, tonghma rhoek kah hlan te na saii uh tih hlang dueng rhoek kah phuel te na thoeihcam uh.
Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye build the tombes of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

And say, If we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we would not haue bene partners with them in the blood of the Prophets.
31 Te dongah tonghma rhoek aka ngawn kah a ca rhoek la na om uh te na oep uh.

O serpents, the generation of vipers, howe should ye escape the damnation of hell! (Geenna g1067)
34 He dongah ni kai loh tonghma rhoek, hlangcueih rhoek neh cadaek rhoek te nangmih taengah kan tueih he. Amih te na ngawn uh vetih na tai uh bal veh. Amih te namamih kah tunim ah na boh uh vetih khopuei lamkah khopuei la na hnaemtaek uh veh.
Wherefore beholde, I send vnto you Prophets, and wise men, and Scribes, and of them ye shall kill and crucifie: and of them shall ye scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from citie to citie,
35 Te dongah hlang dueng Abel kah thii lamloh bawkim neh hmueihtuk lakloah na ngawn uh Berikhiah kah capa Zekhriah kah thii duela, diklai hmanah hlang dueng rhoek kah thii a hawk te nangmih soah boeih thoeng.
That vpon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed vpon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, vnto the blood of Zacharias the sonne of Barachias, whome ye slewe betweene the Temple and the altar.

Verely I say vnto you, all these things shall come vpon this generation.

Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent to thee, how often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her chickins vnder her wings, and ye would not!
38 Na im tah namamih taengah khosoek la a hlahpham coeng he.
Beholde, your habitation shalbe left vnto you desolate,
39 Te dongah nangmih taengah kan thui, 'Boeipa ming neh aka pawk tah a yoethen pai, 'tila na ti uh hlan atah tahae lamkah loh kai muei na hmuh uh loeng loeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
For I say vnto you, ye shall not see mee henceforth till that ye say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
