Matthew 23
1 Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples,
anantaraṁ yīśu rjananivahaṁ śiṣyāṁścāvadat,
2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat:
adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca mūsāsane upaviśanti,
3 all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, [these] do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.
ataste yuṣmān yadyat mantum ājñāpayanti, tat manyadhvaṁ pālayadhvañca, kintu teṣāṁ karmmānurūpaṁ karmma na kurudhvaṁ; yatasteṣāṁ vākyamātraṁ sāraṁ kāryye kimapi nāsti|
4 Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
te durvvahān gurutarān bhārān badvvā manuṣyāṇāṁ skandhepari samarpayanti, kintu svayamaṅgulyaikayāpi na cālayanti|
5 But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders [of their garments],
kevalaṁ lokadarśanāya sarvvakarmmāṇi kurvvanti; phalataḥ paṭṭabandhān prasāryya dhārayanti, svavastreṣu ca dīrghagranthīn dhārayanti;
6 and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
bhojanabhavana uccasthānaṁ, bhajanabhavane pradhānamāsanaṁ,
7 and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.
haṭṭhe namaskāraṁ gururiti sambodhanañcaitāni sarvvāṇi vāñchanti|
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren.
kintu yūyaṁ gurava iti sambodhanīyā mā bhavata, yato yuṣmākam ekaḥ khrīṣṭaeva guru
9 And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, [even] he who is in heaven.
ryūyaṁ sarvve mitho bhrātaraśca| punaḥ pṛthivyāṁ kamapi piteti mā sambudhyadhvaṁ, yato yuṣmākamekaḥ svargasthaeva pitā|
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, [even] the Christ.
yūyaṁ nāyaketi sambhāṣitā mā bhavata, yato yuṣmākamekaḥ khrīṣṭaeva nāyakaḥ|
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
aparaṁ yuṣmākaṁ madhye yaḥ pumān śreṣṭhaḥ sa yuṣmān seviṣyate|
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
yato yaḥ svamunnamati, sa nataḥ kariṣyate; kintu yaḥ kaścit svamavanataṁ karoti, sa unnataḥ kariṣyate|
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter.
hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ manujānāṁ samakṣaṁ svargadvāraṁ rundha, yūyaṁ svayaṁ tena na praviśatha, pravivikṣūnapi vārayatha| vata kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca yūyaṁ chalād dīrghaṁ prārthya vidhavānāṁ sarvvasvaṁ grasatha, yuṣmākaṁ ghorataradaṇḍo bhaviṣyati|
hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyamekaṁ svadharmmāvalambinaṁ karttuṁ sāgaraṁ bhūmaṇḍalañca pradakṣiṇīkurutha,
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
kañcana prāpya svato dviguṇanarakabhājanaṁ taṁ kurutha| (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.
vata andhapathadarśakāḥ sarvve, yūyaṁ vadatha, mandirasya śapathakaraṇāt kimapi na deyaṁ; kintu mandirasthasuvarṇasya śapathakaraṇād deyaṁ|
17 Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold?
he mūḍhā he andhāḥ suvarṇaṁ tatsuvarṇapāvakamandiram etayorubhayo rmadhye kiṁ śreyaḥ?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor.
anyacca vadatha, yajñavedyāḥ śapathakaraṇāt kimapi na deyaṁ, kintu taduparisthitasya naivedyasya śapathakaraṇād deyaṁ|
19 Ye blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
he mūḍhā he andhāḥ, naivedyaṁ tannaivedyapāvakavediretayorubhayo rmadhye kiṁ śreyaḥ?
20 He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
ataḥ kenacid yajñavedyāḥ śapathe kṛte taduparisthasya sarvvasya śapathaḥ kriyate|
21 And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
kenacit mandirasya śapathe kṛte mandiratannivāsinoḥ śapathaḥ kriyate|
22 And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
kenacit svargasya śapathe kṛte īśvarīyasiṁhāsanataduparyyupaviṣṭayoḥ śapathaḥ kriyate|
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.
hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ podināyāḥ sitacchatrāyā jīrakasya ca daśamāṁśān dattha, kintu vyavasthāyā gurutarān nyāyadayāviśvāsān parityajatha; ime yuṣmābhirācaraṇīyā amī ca na laṁghanīyāḥ|
24 Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel!
he andhapathadarśakā yūyaṁ maśakān apasārayatha, kintu mahāṅgān grasatha|
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess.
hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ pānapātrāṇāṁ bhojanapātrāṇāñca bahiḥ pariṣkurutha; kintu tadabhyantaraṁ durātmatayā kaluṣeṇa ca paripūrṇamāste|
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also.
he andhāḥ phirūśilokā ādau pānapātrāṇāṁ bhojanapātrāṇāñcābhyantaraṁ pariṣkuruta, tena teṣāṁ bahirapi pariṣkāriṣyate|
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ śuklīkṛtaśmaśānasvarūpā bhavatha, yathā śmaśānabhavanasya bahiścāru, kintvabhyantaraṁ mṛtalokānāṁ kīkaśaiḥ sarvvaprakāramalena ca paripūrṇam;
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
tathaiva yūyamapi lokānāṁ samakṣaṁ bahirdhārmmikāḥ kintvantaḥkaraṇeṣu kevalakāpaṭyādharmmābhyāṁ paripūrṇāḥ|
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and garnish the tombs of the righteous,
hā hā kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ śmaśānagehaṁ nirmmātha, sādhūnāṁ śmaśānaniketanaṁ śobhayatha
30 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
vadatha ca yadi vayaṁ sveṣāṁ pūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ kāla asthāsyāma, tarhi bhaviṣyadvādināṁ śoṇitapātane teṣāṁ sahabhāgino nābhaviṣyāma|
31 Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets.
ato yūyaṁ bhaviṣyadvādighātakānāṁ santānā iti svayameva sveṣāṁ sākṣyaṁ dattha|
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
ato yūyaṁ nijapūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ parimāṇapātraṁ paripūrayata|
re bhujagāḥ kṛṣṇabhujagavaṁśāḥ, yūyaṁ kathaṁ narakadaṇḍād rakṣiṣyadhve| (Geenna g1067)
34 Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
paśyata, yuṣmākamantikam ahaṁ bhaviṣyadvādino buddhimata upādhyāyāṁśca preṣayiṣyāmi, kintu teṣāṁ katipayā yuṣmābhi rghāniṣyante, kruśe ca ghāniṣyante, kecid bhajanabhavane kaṣābhirāghāniṣyante, nagare nagare tāḍiṣyante ca;
35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar.
tena satpuruṣasya hābilo raktapātamārabhya berikhiyaḥ putraṁ yaṁ sikhariyaṁ yūyaṁ mandirayajñavedyo rmadhye hatavantaḥ, tadīyaśoṇitapātaṁ yāvad asmin deśe yāvatāṁ sādhupuruṣāṇāṁ śoṇitapāto 'bhavat tat sarvveṣāmāgasāṁ daṇḍā yuṣmāsu varttiṣyante|
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
ahaṁ yuṣmānta tathyaṁ vadāmi, vidyamāne'smin puruṣe sarvve varttiṣyante|
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
he yirūśālam he yirūśālam nagari tvaṁ bhaviṣyadvādino hatavatī, tava samīpaṁ preritāṁśca pāṣāṇairāhatavatī, yathā kukkuṭī śāvakān pakṣādhaḥ saṁgṛhlāti, tathā tava santānān saṁgrahītuṁ ahaṁ bahuvāram aicchaṁ; kintu tvaṁ na samamanyathāḥ|
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
paśyata yaṣmākaṁ vāsasthānam ucchinnaṁ tyakṣyate|
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
ahaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi, yaḥ parameśvarasya nāmnāgacchati, sa dhanya iti vāṇīṁ yāvanna vadiṣyatha, tāvat māṁ puna rna drakṣyatha|
