Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds, and to his disciples,
anantaraM yIzu rjananivahaM ziSyAMzcAvadat,
2 saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down in the chair of Moses.
adhyApakAH phirUzinazca mUsAsane upavizanti,
3 Therefore, all things whatsoever that they shall say to you, observe and do. Yet truly, do not choose to act according to their works. For they say, but they do not do.
ataste yuSmAn yadyat mantum AjJApayanti, tat manyadhvaM pAlayadhvaJca, kintu teSAM karmmAnurUpaM karmma na kurudhvaM; yatasteSAM vAkyamAtraM sAraM kAryye kimapi nAsti|
4 For they bind up heavy and unbearable burdens, and they impose them on men’s shoulders. But they are not willing to move them with even a finger of their own.
te durvvahAn gurutarAn bhArAn badvvA manuSyANAM skandhepari samarpayanti, kintu svayamaGgulyaikayApi na cAlayanti|
5 Truly, they do all their works so that they may be seen by men. For they enlarge their phylacteries and glorify their hems.
kevalaM lokadarzanAya sarvvakarmmANi kurvvanti; phalataH paTTabandhAn prasAryya dhArayanti, svavastreSu ca dIrghagranthIn dhArayanti;
6 And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,
bhojanabhavana uccasthAnaM, bhajanabhavane pradhAnamAsanaM,
7 and greetings in the marketplace, and to be called Master by men.
haTThe namaskAraM gururiti sambodhanaJcaitAni sarvvANi vAJchanti|
8 But you must not be called Master. For One is your Master, and you are all brothers.
kintu yUyaM gurava iti sambodhanIyA mA bhavata, yato yuSmAkam ekaH khrISTaeva guru
9 And do not choose to call anyone on earth your father. For One is your Father, who is in heaven.
ryUyaM sarvve mitho bhrAtarazca| punaH pRthivyAM kamapi piteti mA sambudhyadhvaM, yato yuSmAkamekaH svargasthaeva pitA|
10 Neither should you be called teachers. For One is your Teacher, the Christ.
yUyaM nAyaketi sambhASitA mA bhavata, yato yuSmAkamekaH khrISTaeva nAyakaH|
11 Whoever is greater among you shall be your minister.
aparaM yuSmAkaM madhye yaH pumAn zreSThaH sa yuSmAn seviSyate|
12 But whoever has exalted himself, shall be humbled. And whoever has humbled himself, shall be exalted.
yato yaH svamunnamati, sa nataH kariSyate; kintu yaH kazcit svamavanataM karoti, sa unnataH kariSyate|
13 So then: Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you close the kingdom of heaven before men. For you yourselves do not enter, and those who are entering, you would not permit to enter.
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM manujAnAM samakSaM svargadvAraM rundha, yUyaM svayaM tena na pravizatha, pravivikSUnapi vArayatha| vata kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca yUyaM chalAd dIrghaM prArthya vidhavAnAM sarvvasvaM grasatha, yuSmAkaM ghorataradaNDo bhaviSyati|
14 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you consume the houses of widows, praying long prayers. Because of this, you shall receive the greater judgment.
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyamekaM svadharmmAvalambinaM karttuM sAgaraM bhUmaNDalaJca pradakSiNIkurutha,
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and by land, in order to make one convert. And when he has been converted, you make him twice the son of Hell that you are yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
kaJcana prApya svato dviguNanarakabhAjanaM taM kurutha| (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe to you, blind guides, who say: ‘Whoever will have sworn by the temple, it is nothing. But whoever will have sworn by the gold of the temple is obligated.’
vata andhapathadarzakAH sarvve, yUyaM vadatha, mandirasya zapathakaraNAt kimapi na deyaM; kintu mandirasthasuvarNasya zapathakaraNAd deyaM|
17 You are foolish and blind! For which is greater: the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
he mUDhA he andhAH suvarNaM tatsuvarNapAvakamandiram etayorubhayo rmadhye kiM zreyaH?
18 And you say: ‘Whoever will have sworn by the altar, it is nothing. But whoever will have sworn by the gift that is on the altar is obligated.’
anyacca vadatha, yajJavedyAH zapathakaraNAt kimapi na deyaM, kintu taduparisthitasya naivedyasya zapathakaraNAd deyaM|
19 How blind you are! For which is greater: the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
he mUDhA he andhAH, naivedyaM tannaivedyapAvakavediretayorubhayo rmadhye kiM zreyaH?
20 Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all that is on it.
ataH kenacid yajJavedyAH zapathe kRte taduparisthasya sarvvasya zapathaH kriyate|
21 And whoever will have sworn by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
kenacit mandirasya zapathe kRte mandiratannivAsinoH zapathaH kriyate|
22 And whoever swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits upon it.
kenacit svargasya zapathe kRte IzvarIyasiMhAsanataduparyyupaviSTayoH zapathaH kriyate|
23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you collect tithes on mint and dill and cumin, but you have abandoned the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, while not omitting the others.
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM podinAyAH sitacchatrAyA jIrakasya ca dazamAMzAn dattha, kintu vyavasthAyA gurutarAn nyAyadayAvizvAsAn parityajatha; ime yuSmAbhirAcaraNIyA amI ca na laMghanIyAH|
24 You blind guides, straining out a gnat, while swallowing a camel!
he andhapathadarzakA yUyaM mazakAn apasArayatha, kintu mahAGgAn grasatha|
25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you clean what is outside the cup and the dish, but on the inside you are full of avarice and impurity.
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM pAnapAtrANAM bhojanapAtrANAJca bahiH pariSkurutha; kintu tadabhyantaraM durAtmatayA kaluSeNa ca paripUrNamAste|
26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish, and then what is outside becomes clean.
he andhAH phirUzilokA Adau pAnapAtrANAM bhojanapAtrANAJcAbhyantaraM pariSkuruta, tena teSAM bahirapi pariSkAriSyate|
27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed sepulchers, which outwardly appear brilliant to men, yet truly, inside, they are filled with the bones of the dead and with all filth.
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM zuklIkRtazmazAnasvarUpA bhavatha, yathA zmazAnabhavanasya bahizcAru, kintvabhyantaraM mRtalokAnAM kIkazaiH sarvvaprakAramalena ca paripUrNam;
28 So also, you certainly appear to men outwardly to be just. But inwardly you are filled with hypocrisy and iniquity.
tathaiva yUyamapi lokAnAM samakSaM bahirdhArmmikAH kintvantaHkaraNeSu kevalakApaTyAdharmmAbhyAM paripUrNAH|
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites, who build the sepulchers of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the just.
hA hA kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM bhaviSyadvAdinAM zmazAnagehaM nirmmAtha, sAdhUnAM zmazAnaniketanaM zobhayatha
30 And then you say, ‘If we had been there in the days of our fathers, we would not have joined with them in the blood of the prophets.’
vadatha ca yadi vayaM sveSAM pUrvvapuruSANAM kAla asthAsyAma, tarhi bhaviSyadvAdinAM zoNitapAtane teSAM sahabhAgino nAbhaviSyAma|
31 And so you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of those who killed the prophets.
ato yUyaM bhaviSyadvAdighAtakAnAM santAnA iti svayameva sveSAM sAkSyaM dattha|
32 Complete, then, the measure of your fathers.
ato yUyaM nijapUrvvapuruSANAM parimANapAtraM paripUrayata|
re bhujagAH kRSNabhujagavaMzAH, yUyaM kathaM narakadaNDAd rakSiSyadhve| (Geenna g1067)
34 For this reason, behold, I send to you prophets and wise men, and scribes. And some of these you will put to death and crucify; and some you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
pazyata, yuSmAkamantikam ahaM bhaviSyadvAdino buddhimata upAdhyAyAMzca preSayiSyAmi, kintu teSAM katipayA yuSmAbhi rghAniSyante, kruze ca ghAniSyante, kecid bhajanabhavane kaSAbhirAghAniSyante, nagare nagare tADiSyante ca;
35 so that upon you may fall all the blood of the just, which has been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.
tena satpuruSasya hAbilo raktapAtamArabhya berikhiyaH putraM yaM sikhariyaM yUyaM mandirayajJavedyo rmadhye hatavantaH, tadIyazoNitapAtaM yAvad asmin deze yAvatAM sAdhupuruSANAM zoNitapAto 'bhavat tat sarvveSAmAgasAM daNDA yuSmAsu varttiSyante|
36 Amen I say to you, all these things shall fall upon this generation.
ahaM yuSmAnta tathyaM vadAmi, vidyamAne'smin puruSe sarvve varttiSyante|
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets and stone those who have been sent to you. How often I have wanted to gather your children together, in the way that a hen gathers her young under her wings. But you were not willing!
he yirUzAlam he yirUzAlam nagari tvaM bhaviSyadvAdino hatavatI, tava samIpaM preritAMzca pASANairAhatavatI, yathA kukkuTI zAvakAn pakSAdhaH saMgRhlAti, tathA tava santAnAn saMgrahItuM ahaM bahuvAram aicchaM; kintu tvaM na samamanyathAH|
38 Behold, your house shall be abandoned to you, having been deserted.
pazyata yaSmAkaM vAsasthAnam ucchinnaM tyakSyate|
39 For I say to you, you shall not see me again, until you say: ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
