Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
Erah lidi Jisu ah heliphante nyia miloong damdi waantiitta.
2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have set themselves down in Moses' seat:
“Pharisi nyia Hootthe nyootte loong ah Moses Hootthe toombaat kotsuh chaan kotcho ang rumta.
3 all things therefore, whatever they may tell you, do and keep. But do not after their works, for they say and do not,
Erah raang ih sen neng jengchaatchaat etheng, neng ih ere etheng ih baat han radoh ah, enoothong neng reeraang abah lanyoot theng, tumeah neng ih nyoot rumha jun ih tareeraang rumka.
4 but bind burdens heavy and hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of men, but will not move them with their finger.
Neng ih huijih nyia echeh echaan lajen huiji ah mih sakkhoh ni luulu khak korumha, eno neng ih erah huijih huite loong ah chosok suh neng laktiik tiksiit taan uh tamaak rumka.
5 And all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders [of their garments],
Jaatrep mih suh noisok suh ba reeraang rumla. Sok an neng khodek adi Rangte jengkhaap raangcho ang arah dek rum ano noisok rumha, neng sook adi khak et rum, eno neng ah elong hoonkap ih noisok rumha! Neng samsong adi jaannaat ah elootlootwah ih waangchi rum ano noisok rumha!
6 and love the chief place in feasts and the first seats in the synagogues,
Neng ih sadung theng ni tongtheng ese ni tong suh nook rumla nyia Jehudi rangsoomnok ni neng tongtheng ah ban khookham cho et thiin arah suh nook rumha;
7 and salutations in the market-places, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
thaangtaam theng ni karum adi uh mih ih jengkhaapse jenglam ih toom soom he ih thun rumha adoleh ‘Nyootte’ toom et poonhe ih thun rumha.’
8 But ye, be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor, and all ye are brethren.
Mih ih sen suh “Nyootte” ih nak toom poon han, tumeah sen soophoh soowah loong suh nyootte abah wasiit luulu.
9 And call not [any one] your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens.
Erah dam ih sen ih arah hatoh adoh ‘Ewah’ ih o uh nak poon an, tumeah sen wah wasiit luulu rangmong dowa ah.
10 Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ.
Adoleh sen ih o suh uh ‘Phansiitte’ ih lapoon theng, tumeah sen phansiitte ah wasiit Kristo luulu.
11 But the greatest of you shall be your servant.
Sendung nawa elongthoon angsuh nookte ah sen loong laksuh angjih.
12 And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
O ih heh teeteewah suh elong ih thiik ha erah mih ah ehin ih hoon theng, eno o heh teeteewah suh ehin et thiik ha erah mih ah elong ih hoon ah.
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for ye do not enter, nor do ye suffer those that are entering to go in.
“Tumthan echoojih ang ah, sen Hootthe nyootte nyi Pharisi loong suh ah! Lonoite sen loong ah! Sen ih Rangmong Hasong kaasak ah mih uh lanop thuk ih tangsak han, senteewah uh tanop kan, erah dam ih erah doh nopte taatje abah uh sen ih tanghaam et han!
Tumthan echoojih ang ah sen, Hootthe nyootte nyi Pharisi loong suh ah! Lonoite sen loong! Sen ih thaknuh loong ah neng nok ni put kaleh, elootlootwah ih rangsoom jeng ah noisok et kohan! Erah loong ah tungthoidoh sen ethithoon ih cham thukte!
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye compass the sea and the dry [land] to make one proselyte, and when he is become [such], ye make him twofold more [the] son of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
“Tumthan echoojih ang ah, sen Hootthe nyootte nyi Pharisi loong suh ah! Lonoite sen loong! Sen ih mih wasiit leksiit suh juungko saangko deek akaan ni ih daankhoom lan, ang abah uh chojam ano erah mih ah ethithoon soolam ni we wang thuk lan sente senwah likhiikkhiik ah! (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe to you, blind guides, who say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.
“Tumthan echoojih ah, mih lamthih ni siitte sen loong ah! Sen ih nyoot han, ‘o ih Rangteenok mendoh thoomhoon ah erah tumjih uh tah angka; enoothong o mina ih Rangteenok ni thiinha hun mendoh thoomhoon ah, erah thoomhoon jun doh re ejih jaatjaat ang ah.’
17 Fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple which sanctifies the gold?
Edook lam ni siitte loong! Hun akom ah tam rakla tam ah Rangteenok ah rakla?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor.
Sen ih amah nep et nyoot han, ‘O mina ih romthong mendoh thoomhoon ah erah tumjih uh tah angka; enoothong o ih lakkot lam ih romthong ni thoomhoon ah erah thoomhoon jun doh re ejih jaatjaat ang ah.’
19 [Fools and] blind ones, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift?
Mamah lajat ehan! Marah ah rakla, lakkot ah tam rakla tam aleh lakkot saasiitte romthong ah rakla?
20 He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it.
O ih romthong mendi thoomhoonha erah romthong dowa hukkhaak loongtang mendi thoomla;
21 And he that swears by the temple swears by it and by him that dwells in it.
erah dam ih o ih Rangteenok mendi thoomhoonha, erah Rangteenok ni tongte Rangte mendi thoomla;
22 And he that swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him that sits upon it.
erah damdi o mina rangmong hasong mendi thoomla, erah Rangte nyia Rangte tongtheng ni o tongla erah mendi thoomla.
23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cummin, and ye have left aside the weightier matters of the law, judgment and mercy and faith: these ye ought to have done and not have left those aside.
“Tumthan echoojih ang ah sen, Hootthe nyootte nyia Pharisi loong suh ah! Sen lonoite loong! Sen ih Rangte suh asithiik hepoot phaksat, pochina, phantho nyia khokileeso botseh kohan, enoothong amiimi elong Hootthe jengkhaap loong ah phaang haat ehan, jengjuntiit nyia minchan adoleh toongtang reeraang loong ah. Erah loong Hootthe ah sen ih laphaang haat thang ih nyia mih uh laphaang thukthang ih, ban maak ruh etjih.
24 Blind guides, who strain out the gnat, but drink down the camel.
Mih lamthih ni siitte loong! Sen ih joktheng joong nawa sewiik ah toonhaat et han, enoothong mokchongdoot ah elem et han!
25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of rapine and intemperance.
“Tumthan echoojih ang ah sen suh ah, Hootthe nyootte nyi Pharisi loong oh! Sen lonoite loong! Sen khuung akhaak ah rangkhoh ko ah laklak saachot han, hemong ko adi bah sen mongthet nyia nyamnyook loong ih boh nyaansiit han.
26 Blind Pharisee, make clean first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that their outside also may become clean.
Edook Pharisi loong oh! Khuung akhaak ah hemong ko ah chaak saachot an erah lidoh ba rangkhoh ko ah we saachot an!
27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are like whited sepulchres, which appear beautiful outwardly, but within are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.
“Tumthan echoojih ang ah sen Pharisi nyia Hootthe nyootte loong suh ah! Lonoite sen loong ah! Sen ah mangbeng nok puungmook arah likhiik boh ah, rangkhoh ah sok koleh puungchamcham hemong ah sok koleh mih mang nyia kiing araang loong namchaam arah likhiik ah.
28 Thus also ye, outwardly ye appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Erah likhiik, rangkhoh ni ba ese ih noisok han, enoothong hemong ni bah ethih tenthun nyia rangdah loong laklak meela.
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets and adorn the tombs of the just,
“Tumthan echoojih ang ah, sen Hootthe nyootte nyia Pharisi sen loong suh ah! Lonoite sen loong! Sen ih khowah loong mangbeng theng ah jaaseemoong ih hoon han nyia elong elang loong mangbeng ah naririh ih choomraang han;
30 and ye say, If we had been in the days of our fathers we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
eno sen ih chaang han, te awah hasong tokdoh seng mok roongjeeti bah khowah loong taroong tek haat thengti eah.
31 So that ye bear witness of yourselves that ye are sons of those who slew the prophets:
Sen teeteewah ih jatthuk hali sen ah khowah loong tek haatte sutoom satoom eah!
32 and ye, fill ye up the measure of your fathers.
Erah ang abah, sente senwah loong reeraang rumta rah sen we tuk reeraang an!
Pu sen loong nyia pu suh asah loong! Soolam nawa epi ete ih mamet mi banthun han? (Geenna g1067)
34 Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and [some] of them ye will kill and crucify, and [some] of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will persecute from city to city;
Erah thoidi ngah ih baat rumhala, ngah ih khowah, jatwah nyia nyootte loong daapkaat hang; erah dowa sen ih mararah ah tek haat et an, mararah ah bangphak nah tek haat an, rukho ah Jehudi rangsoomnok nah ruh ih buh ano hadaang hadaang nah tum phanjoh an.
35 so that all righteous blood shed upon the earth should come upon you, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Erah raang ih, sen ih toongtang mina mathan tek haattan chamnaang ah sen sak nah dat ha, marah Abel dowa ih Berekia sah Jekaria tuk ih romthong nyia Rangteenok chamchi ni tek haattan loong ah.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Ngah ih baat rumhala: erah tek haat rumta mat ah ahaangwa mina loong sak nah ang ah!
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [the city] that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Rangte ih daapjah taha khowah loong nyia ruurang baatte loong ah jong ih tekpat han! Wonuh ih hejang khui ni wothaang loong khon arah likhiik, sen loong ah nga lak ih khonjoot suh tumthan taat thuntang, ang abah uh sen ih tare thukri!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate;
Erah raangtaan ih Rangteenok ah hahuung et thiinhaatte anglan.
39 for I say unto you, Ye shall in no wise see me henceforth until ye say, Blessed [be] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord.
Ngah ih baat rumhala aadowa ih bah, sen ih ngah babah uh takah we japtup ri, ‘Teesu mendi raakte asuh Rangte ih romseetam koh ah,’ ih sen ih maang liili bah ah.”
