Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus said to the people and to his disciples:
IESUS ap kotin kaparok ong pokon o sapwilim a tounpadak kan,
2 The scribes and the Pharisees have the authority of Moses;
Masani; Saunkawewe o Parisär akan kin mondi nan deun Moses.
3 All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say and do not.
Ari, karos me re indang komail, i me komail en wia o kapwaiada, a der ale sang ar wiawia kan; pwe irail kin indada, ap sota kapwaiada.
4 They make hard laws and put great weights on men's backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them.
Re kin pira pena kapwa en wisik me toutou melel, ap kidang pon apar en aramas, a irail sota men sairki sondin pa arail.
5 But all their works they do so as to be seen by men: for they make wide their phylacteries, and the edges of their robes,
O re kin kapwaiada ar wiawia kan karos, pwe aramas en ududial. Pwe irail kin kadälape ar kisin likau en kataman o kalaudela ni kailan ar likau.
6 And the things desired by them are the first places at feasts, and the chief seats in the Synagogues,
Irail kin ngongki mondi ni tapin tepel ni kamadip o, o leppandam nan sinakoke kan.
7 And words of respect in the market-places, and to be named by men, Teacher.
O re kin mauki, aramas en ranamau ong irail nan deun net, o aramas en wia kin ir Rapi, Rapi,
8 But you may not be named Teacher: for one is your teacher, and you are all brothers.
A komail der ngongki, aramas en wia kin komail Rapi, pwe me ta men omail Saunpadak, a komail pirien pena.
9 And give no man the name of father on earth: because one is your Father, who is in heaven.
O komail der kaadaneki meamen sam nan sappa, pwe amen Sam omail, me kotikot nanlang.
10 And you may not be named guides: because one is your Guide, even Christ.
O komail der ngongki, aramas en wia kin komail saumas, pwe me ta men omail Saumas: Kristus.
11 But let the greatest among you be your servant.
A me lapalap re omail, en omail papa.
12 And whoever makes himself high will be made low, and whoever makes himself low will be made high.
Pwe me pan kasapwilada pein i, pan sapwilidi, a me pan kasapwilidi pein i, pan kasapwilada.
13 But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.
Suedi ong komail saunkawewe o Parisär akan, malaun komail! Komail kin ritingidi wein nanlang mon aramas akan, pwe komail sota pan pedelong, a me men pedelong, komail sota kin mueid ong.
Suedi ong komail saunkawewe o Parisär akan, malaun komail! Komail me ngopur sang im en li odi kan ap liliasos kapakap reirei. Omail kalokolok pan laud melel.
15 A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you go about land and sea to get one disciple and, having him, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Suedi ong komail saunkawewe o Parisär akan, malaun komail! Komail kin pidipidaki sed o sap, pwen wiada proselit amen, a lao wialar, komail ap pan wia kin i toun pweleko amen, me sued sang komail. (Geenna g1067)
16 A curse is on you, blind guides, who say, Whoever takes an oath by the Temple, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the gold of the Temple, he is responsible.
Suedi ong komail saunkalua maskun, komail me kin inda: Meamen kin kaukila im en kaudok, dene sota katepa, a me kin kaukila kold en im en kaudok, i me pung.
17 You foolish ones and blind: which is greater, the gold, or the Temple which makes the gold holy?
Komail pweipwei o maskun, pwe da me kasampwal ren kold de im en kaudok o, me kin kasarauiala kold?
18 And, Whoever takes an oath by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the offering which is on it, he is responsible.
O meamen kin kaukila pei saraui, dene sota katepa, a me kaukila mairong, me mi poa dene i me pung,
19 You blind ones: which is greater, the offering, or the altar which makes the offering holy?
Komail pweipwei o maskun, pwe da me kasampwal ren mairong de pei saraui, me kin kasarauiala mairong?
20 He, then, who takes an oath by the altar, takes it by the altar and by all things on it.
Ari, meamen kaukila pei saraui, kin kaukila i o meakan, me mi poa.
21 And he who takes an oath by the Temple, takes it by the Temple and by him whose house it is.
O meamen kaukila im en kaudok, king kaukila i iangaki i me kotikot lole.
22 And he who takes an oath by heaven, takes it by the seat of God, and by him who is seated on it.
O me kaukila nanlang, kin kaukila mol en Kot o me kin kaipokedi ong poa.
23 A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone.
Suedi ong komail saunkawewe o Parisär akan, malaun komail! Komail kin mairongki eisokkis eu en minse, o til, o kimel, ap sota insenoki kusoned en kapung kasampwal akan: Pung, o kadek, o poson. Komail wiada mepukat, ap pil kapwaiada me tei kan!
24 You blind guides, who take out a fly from your drink, but make no trouble over a camel.
Saunkalua maskun komail, me kin isenoki kisin am en wel, ap katalala kamel!
25 A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of violent behaviour and uncontrolled desire.
Suedi ong komail saunkawewe o Parisär akan, malaun komail! Pwe komail kin kamakelekel kasak o dal liki, a lol me dir en me re kuliada o me sued.
26 You blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may become equally clean.
Parisär maskun koe, kamakelekele mas lol en kasak o dal akan, pwe pali liki en pil makelekeleda!
27 A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you are like the resting-places of the dead, which are made white, and seem beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and of all unclean things.
Suedi ong komail saunkawewe o Parisär akan, malaun komail! Komail rasong sousou kan, me sementen, me kin sansal kaselel, a lole me dir en ti en me melar akan o song en saut karos.
28 Even so you seem to men to be full of righteousness, but inside you are all false and full of wrongdoing.
I duen komail, me sansal pung mon aramas, a lole komail me dir en malaun o sapung.
29 A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you put up buildings for housing the dead bodies of the prophets, and make fair the last resting-places of good men, and say,
Suedi ong komail saunkawewe o Parisär akan, malaun komail! Pwe komail kin apapwali sousou en saukop akan o kapwataki sousou en me pung kan.
30 If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in the blood of the prophets.
Ap inda: Ma kit mia ni muein sam atail akan, kit sota pan iang irail kamela saukop akan.
31 So that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death.
Ari, pein komail kin kadede, me komail nain me kamelar saukop akan.
32 Make full, then, the measure of your fathers.
A komail kaunsokala wiawia en sam omail akan!
33 You snakes, offspring of snakes, how will you be kept from the punishment of hell? (Geenna g1067)
Komail serpent o wan oter akan! Pala komail pan piti sang kadeik en nan pweleko? (Geenna g1067)
34 For this reason, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them you will put to death and put on the cross, and to some of them you will give blows in your Synagogues, driving them from town to town;
Kilang, i me I kadara dong komail saukop akai, o me lolekong kai, o saunkawewe kai; a akai irail, me komail pan kamela, o kalopuela, o akai komail pan kaloke nan omail sinakoke kan, o komail pan paki irail sang nan eu kanim ong nan eu.
35 So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar.
Pwen kapokon ong komail nta makelekel karos, me kapwilipwilidier nan sappa sang ntan Apel pung kokodo lel ntan Sakarias, nain Parakias, me komail kamelar nan pung en im en kaudok o pei saraui.
36 Truly I say to you, All these things will come on this generation.
Melel I indai ong komail, mepukat pan pwai ong di wet.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who are sent to her! Again and again would I have taken your children to myself as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, and you would not!
O Ierusalem, Ierusalem, me kin kamela saukop akan o kate me pakadara dong uk kan; pan pak toto, me I pan kapokon pena noumail akan, duen litok kin kompwal pena na purok kan pan pa a, a komail kang.
38 See, your house is made waste.
Kilang, im omail pan tanla.
39 For I say to you, You will not see me from this time till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.
Pwe I indai ong komail, komail solar pan kilang ia sang ni ansau wet, lao komail pan inda: Meid iasanai, me kotido ni mar en Kaun o!
