Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes, and to His disciples,
Hathnukkhu Jisuh ni a hnukkâbangnaw hoi tamimaya koe lawk a dei pouh.
2 saying, “On the seat of Moses sat down the scribes and the Pharisees;
Cakathutkungnaw hoi Farasinaw teh Mosi e tahungnae dawk a tahung awh.
3 all, then, as much as they may say to you to observe, observe and do, but according to their works do not do, for they say, and do not do;
Hatdawkvah ahnimouh ni a dei awh e pueng hah tarawi a nateh sak pouh awh. Ahnimae sak e patetlah teh sak awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a dei awh e patetlah a sak awh hoeh dawk doeh.
4 for they bind together burdens [too] heavy and grievous to bear, and lay [them] on the shoulders of men, but with their finger they will not move them.
Ahnimouh ni ka ri ni teh phu ka ru e hnonaw hah a roup awh teh taminaw e loung dawk ouk a patue awh. Amamouh ni hote hnonaw teh a kutdawn ca hoi boehai takhoe ngai awh hoeh.
5 And all their works they do to be seen by men, and they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
A sak awh e hno pueng hah ayâ ni hmu nahanlah doeh a sak awh. A tampa dawk a kawm sin awh e akana a len sak awh teh, khohna dawk e akana a saw sak awh.
6 they also cherish the first couches at the banquets, and the first seats in the synagogues,
Buvennae hoi sinakoknaw koe kahawi e tahungnae hah a lungpataw awh,
7 and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
hno yonae koe barinae, kacangkhaikung telah kawnae hah a ngai awh.
8 And you may not be called Rabbi, for one is your teacher—the Christ, and you are all brothers;
Nangmouh teh Rabbi telah kawnae hah dâw awh hanh. Khrih buet touh dueng doeh nangmouh na kacangkhaikung na tawn awh. Nangmouh pueng teh hmaunawngha lah na o awh.
9 and you may not call [any] your father on the earth, for one is your Father, who is in the heavens,
Talai van vah apihai apa telah kaw awh hanh. Kalvan kho vah nangmae na Pa buet touh dueng doeh kaawm.
10 nor may you be called teachers, for one is your teacher—the Christ.
Saya telah kawnae hai dâw awh hanh. Khrih dueng doeh nangmouh na kacangkhaikung lah ka awm.
11 And the greater of you will be your servant,
Nangmouh thung dawk kalenpounge tami teh nangmae patoun patang e lah ao han.
12 and whoever will exalt himself will be humbled, and whoever will humble himself will be exalted.
Apipatethai amahoima kârasang e teh a rahim vah pabo lah kaawm han. Apipatethai amahoima kârahnoum e teh tawm lah kaawm han.
13 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men, for you do not go in, nor do you permit those going in to enter.
A laikathout e cakathutkungnaw hoi Farasinaw yawthoe lah na o awh. Kalvan uknaeram teh ayânaw hanlah na khan awh teh namamouh hai na kâen awh hoeh, kâen han kangainaw haiyah na ngang awh.
14 [[Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you eat up the houses of the widows, and for a pretense make long prayers, because of this you will receive more abundant judgment.]]
A laikathout e cakathutkungnaw hoi Farasinaw yawthoe lah na o awh. Lahmainu e im hah na lawp awh teh a kamphawng hoeh nahanlah kasaw poung lah na ratoum awh. Hatdawkvah hoe kalen e yonphukhangnae hah na khang awh han.
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you go around the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and whenever it may happen—you make him a son of Gehenna twofold more than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
A laikathout e cakathutkungnaw hoi Farasinaw, yawthoe lah na o awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami buet touh hai namamae bawknae dawk kâen sak hanlah talî hoi a oung pheng na katin awh teh, na kâen sak hnukkhu teh namamouh hlak let hni e hell ca lah na o sak awh. (Geenna g1067)
16 Woe to you, blind guides, who are saying, Whoever may swear by the temple, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by the gold of the temple—is debtor!
Kahrawikung mit ka dawnnaw, yawthoe lah na o awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawkim hah noe lahoi thoe ka bo e teh cak hoeh. Bawkim thung e sui hah noe hoi thoe ka bo e doeh ka cak na ti awh.
17 Fools and blind! For which [is] greater, the gold, or the temple that is sanctifying the gold?
Tamipathu, mitdawnnaw, nâ e hno maw ka talue. Sui maw, nahoeh pawiteh sui ka thoungsak e Bawkim na ou.
18 And, Whoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by the gift that is on it—is debtor!
Thuengnae khoungroe noe lahoi thoe ka bo e teh cak hoeh, thuengnae khoungroe van kaawm e thuengnae hno hah noe lahoi thoe ka bo e teh a cak na ti awh.
19 Fools and blind! For which [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that is sanctifying the gift?
Mitdawnnaw, bangpatet e hno maw hoe ka talue. Hote thuengnae hno na ou, Hote thuengnae hno hah ka thoungsak e thuengnae khoungroe na ou.
20 He therefore who swore by the altar, swears by it, and by all things on it;
Hatdawkvah thuengnae khoungroe hah noe lahoi thoe na bo pawiteh thuengnae khoungroe khuehoi avan e kaawm hno pueng hah mek na noe teh thoe na bo toe.
21 and he who swore by the temple, swears by it, and by Him who is dwelling in it;
Bawkim hah noe lahoi thoe na bo pawiteh a thung kaawm e khuehoi thoe mek na bo toe.
22 and he who swore by Heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by Him who is sitting on it.
Kalvan kho noe hoi thoe ka bo e teh Cathut e bawitungkhung hoi, a van ka tahung e khuehoi mek na noe teh thoe na bo toe.
23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and neglected the weightier things of the Law—judgment, and kindness, and faith; these it was necessary to do, and those not to neglect.
A laikathout cakathutkungnaw hoi Farasinaw yawthoe lah na o awh. Nangmouh ni teh anhla a pawhiknaw hoi sawngpam totouh hra touh dawk buet touh na hmoun awh. Hatei, kâlawk thung dawk hoi hoe alawkpui e lannae, pahrennae yuemnae hah lat na hnoun awh. Hete hnonaw na sak han roeroe lah ao. A lathueng lah dei e hai sak laipalah awm awh hanh.
24 Blind guides! Who are straining out the gnat, and are swallowing the camel.
Kahrawikung mitdawnnaw, tui dawk manging buet touh boehai ao hoeh nahanlah na raci awh ei kalauk hah na payawp awh.
25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you make clean the outside of the cup and the plate, and within they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.
A laikathout e cakathutkungnaw hoi Farasinaw yawthoe lah na o awh. Manang hoi tongben hah avanlah na pâle awh ei a thung lah teh lawpnae hoi dumyennae hoi na kawi awh.
26 Blind Pharisee! First cleanse the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside of them may also become clean.
Mit ka dawn e Farasinaw, manang hoi tongben hah a thung lah hmaloe pâle awh. Hottelah na sak pawiteh doeh alawilah hai thoung tih.
27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you are like to whitewashed graves, which outwardly indeed appear beautiful, and within are full of bones of dead men, and of all uncleanness;
A laikathout e cakathutkungnaw hoi Farasinaw yawthoe lah na o awh. Avan ka pangaw dui hluk e tangkom hoi na kâvan awh. Hote tangkom teh alawilah hroung ahawi. Athung teh tami hru, khinnae a cawngca hoi akawi.
28 so also you outwardly indeed appear to men righteous, and within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Hot patetvanlah alawilah, taminaw hmalah teh tamikalan patetlah na o awh, athunglah teh laithoenae hoi dumyennae hoi na kawi awh.
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the graves of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous,
A laikathout e cakathutkungnaw hoi Farasinaw, yawthoe lah na o awh. Profetnaw e phuen hah na sak awh teh tami kalannaw e phuen hah na pathoup awh.
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.
A mintoenaw e se nah kaawm awh pawiteh profetnaw theinae dawk ka bawk awh mahoeh na ti awh.
31 So that you testify to yourselves that you are sons of them who murdered the prophets;
Hottelah na tet awh pawiteh profetnaw ka thet awh e catoun lah ka o awh tie hah namamouh hoi namamouh ni na kampangkhai awh toe.
32 and you fill up the measure of your fathers.
Hatdawkvah mintoenaw e a sakyoe awh e totouh phat awh.
Hrunthoe catounnaw bangtelamaw lawkcengnae hell thung hoi na hlout a thai han raw vaw. (Geenna g1067)
34 Because of this, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and of them you will kill and crucify, and of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and will pursue from city to city,
Hatdawkvah thai awh haw, nangmouh koevah, profetnaw, a lungkaang naw, cakathutkungnaw ka patoun han. A tangawn teh na thei awh vaiteh thingpalam dawk na pathout awh han. Atangawn hah sinakoknaw dawk na hem awh teh, kho buet touh hoi buet touh na rektap awh teh na hrek awh han.
35 that on you may come all the righteous blood being poured out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar:
Hatdawkvah, tamikalan Abel e thi koehoi athung bawkim hoi thuengnae khoungroe rahak na thei awh e Berekhiah capa Zekhariah e a thi totouh talai van dawk rabawk lah kaawm tangcoung e tami kalannaw e thi teh nangmae lû dawk ka bawt han.
36 truly I say to you, all these things will come on this generation.
Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Hete hno pueng heh, hete catounnaw van vah ka phat han.
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that are killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to you, how often I willed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her own chickens under the wings, and you did not will.
Oe! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, profetnaw kathetkung, nang koe patoun lah kaawm e naw talung hoi kadêikung, Âpui ni a canaw hah a rathei rahim a pâkhueng e patetlah na canaw hah kamkhueng sak hanlah avai moikapap ngainae ka tawn toe. Hatei, nang ni teh na ngai hoeh.
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate;
Thai haw, na onae im teh tami kingkadi lah doeh ceitakhai lah ao toe.
39 for I say to you, you may not see Me from now on, until you may say, Blessed [is] He who is coming in the Name of the LORD.”
Na dei pouh awh, Bawipa min lahoi ka tho e hah yawhawinae awm naseh telah na dei awh hoehroukrak, atu hoi teh nangmouh ni ka minhmai hah na hmawt a mahoeh toe atipouh.
