Matthew 23
1 Then spoke Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Me i reira ka korero a Ihu ki te mano, ki ana akonga hoki,
2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
Ka mea, Kei te nohoanga o Mohi nga karaipi ratou ko nga Parihi e noho ana:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not all of you after their works: for they say, and do not.
Ko nga mea katoa e mea ai ratou hei pupuri ma koutou, puritia, mahia; kei rite ia a koutou mahi ki a ratou mahi: ko ta ratou hoki he korero, kahore he mahi.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
E hereherea ana hoki e ratou nga wahanga taimaha, he uaua me ka pikaua, a whakawaha iho ki runga ki nga pokohiwi o te tangata; heoi kahore ratou e pai kia whakakorikoria ki tetahi o o ratou maihao.
5 But all their works they do in order to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Ko a ratou mahi katoa e meatia ana hei matakitaki ma te tangata; e whakawhanuitia ana e ratou a ratou pairakere; e whakanuia ana ano nga taniko o o ratou kakahu;
6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Ko ta ratou e rawe ai ko nga nohoanga rangatira i nga hakari, me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Me nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko, a kia karangatia e te tangata, E Rapi.
8 But be not all of you called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all you are brethren.
Otiia aua koutou e karangatia, E Rapi: kotahi hoki to koutou kaiwhakaako; a he tuakana, he teina, koutou katoa.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Kaua ano tetahi e kiia hei matua mo koutou i runga i te whenua: kotahi hoki to koutou Matua, ko tera i te rangi.
10 Neither be all of you called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Kaua ano koutou e kiia he kaiarahi: kotahi ano to koutou kaiarahi, ko te Karaiti.
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Ko te mea nui rawa hoki o koutou, hei kaimahi ia ma koutou.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be brought low; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Ki te whakahira hoki tetahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; a ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, ka whakahirangia.
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for all of you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer all of you them that are entering to go in.
Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e tutakina ana hoki e koutou te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki nga tangata: kahore koutou e tomo, kahore ano e tukua te hunga e tomo ana kia tapoko.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore all of you shall receive the greater damnation.
Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! no te mea ka pau i a koutou nga whare o nga pouaru, a e maminga ana ki te inoi roa: mo reira he nui rawa te he e tau ki a koutou.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, all of you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e taiawhiotia ana hoki e koutou te moana me te whenua, kia tahuri mai ai tetahi hei porohiraiti, a, no ka riro mai, ka meinga ia e koutou hei tamaiti mo Kehena, kino noa atu i a koutou. (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe unto you, all of you blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga kaiarahi matapo, e mea nei, Ki te oatitia te whare tapu e tetahi, he mea noa ano; otira ki te oatitia e tetahi te koura o te whare tapu, ka mau tana!
17 All of you fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that santifies the gold?
E nga kuware, e nga matapo: ko tehea te mea nui, ko te koura ranei, ko te whare tapu ranei i tapu ai te koura?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever swears by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
Me tenei, Ki te oatitia e tetahi te aata, he mea noa ano: otira ki te oatitia te whakahere i runga i te aata, ka mau tana.
19 All of you fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that santifies the gift?
E nga kuware, e nga matapo, ko tehea te mea nui, ko te whakahere, ko te aata ranei i tapu ai te whakahere?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, swears by it, and by all things thereon.
Na, ki te oatitia e tetahi te aata, e oatitia ana e ia tera mea, me nga mea katoa i runga.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, swears by it, and by him that dwells therein.
Ki te oatitia e tetahi te whare tapu, e oatitia ana e ia tera mea, me te kainoho o roto.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him that sits thereon.
Ki te oatitia hoki e tetahi te rangi, e oatitia ana e ia te torona o te Atua, me te kainoho o runga.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought all of you to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e hoatu ana e koutou te wahi whakatekau o te miniti, o te anihi, o te kumine, a kapea ake nga mea nunui o te ture, te whakawa, te tohu tangata, te whakapono: he tika kia meatia e koutou enei, engari kaua tera ra e kapea.
24 All of you blind guides, which strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
E nga kaiarahi matapo, e tatari nei i te waeroa, a horomia ake te kamera.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Aue, te mate mo koutou e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e horoi nei i waho o te kapu, o te pereti, ko roto ia ki tonu i te pahua, i te taikaha.
26 You blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
E te Parihi matapo, matua horoia a roto o te kapu, o te pereti, kia ma ai hoki a waho.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you are like unto whitewashed sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! he rite hoki koutou ki nga urupa kua oti te pani ki te paru ma, ko waho he ataahua ki te titiro atu, ko roto ia ki tonu i nga koiwi tupapaku, i nga mea poke katoa.
28 Even so all of you also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within all of you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
He pena hoki koutou, ko waho e tika ana ki ta te tangata titiro, ko roto ia e ki ana i te tinihanga, i te kino.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because all of you build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous,
Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga? ko koutou nei hoki hei hanga i nga tanumanga o nga poropiti, hei whakapaipai i nga urupa o nga tangata tika,
30 And 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.
Me te ki ano, Me i nga ra tatou o o tatou matua, kihai tatou i uru tahi me ratou ki te whakaheke i te toto o nga poropiti.
31 Wherefore all of you be witnesses unto yourselves, that all of you are the children of them which killed the prophets.
He whakaatu tera na koutou, ko koutou nga tamariki a te hunga nana i patu nga poropiti.
32 Fill all of you up then the measure of your fathers.
Tena ra, kia ki a koutou te mehua a o koutou matua.
33 All of you serpents, all of you generation of vipers, how can all of you escape the damnation of hell? (Geenna g1067)
E nga neke, e te uri nakahi, me aha ka rere ai koutou i te kupu tuku ki te reinga? (Geenna g1067)
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them all of you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall all of you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
Na ka tonoa atu e ahau ki a koutou nga poropiti, nga tangata mahara, nga karaipi: ko etahi o ratou e whakamatea e koutou, e ripekatia; ko etahi e whiua i roto i o koutou whare karakia, e whaia hoki i tetahi pa ki tetahi pa:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom all of you slew between the temple and the altar.
A ka utaina ki a koutou nga toto katoa o te hunga tika i whakahekea ki te whenua, no te toto o Apera, o te tangata tika tae iho ki te toto o Hakaraia, o te tama a Parakia, i kohurutia e koutou i waenganui o te whare tapu, o te aata.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou. Tera e pa enei mea katoa ki tenei whakatupuranga.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and stone them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and all of you would not!
E Hiruharama, e Hiruharama, e whakamate nei i nga poropiti, e aki nei ki te kamaka i te hunga e tonoa ana ki a koe, ano te tini o aku meatanga kia whakaminea au tamariki, kia peratia me te heihei e whakamine nei i ana pi ki raro i ona parirau, a kihai koutou i pai!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Na ka mahue atu ki a koutou to koutou whare kia takoto noa ana.
39 For I say unto you, All of you shall not see me henceforth, till all of you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E kore koutou e kite i ahau a mua ake nei, kia mea ra ano koutou, Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki.
