Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes, and to His disciples,
anantaraM yIzu rjananivahaM ziSyAMzcAvadat,
2 saying, “On the seat of Moses sat down the scribes and the Pharisees;
adhyApakAH phirUzinazca mUsAsanE upavizanti,
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;
atastE yuSmAn yadyat mantum AjnjApayanti, tat manyadhvaM pAlayadhvanjca, kintu tESAM karmmAnurUpaM karmma na kurudhvaM; yatastESAM vAkyamAtraM sAraM kAryyE kimapi nAsti|
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.
tE durvvahAn gurutarAn bhArAn badvvA manuSyANAM skandhEpari samarpayanti, kintu svayamaggulyaikayApi na cAlayanti|
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,
kEvalaM lOkadarzanAya sarvvakarmmANi kurvvanti; phalataH paTTabandhAn prasAryya dhArayanti, svavastrESu ca dIrghagranthIn dhArayanti;
6 they also cherish the first couches at the banquets, and the first seats in the synagogues,
bhOjanabhavana uccasthAnaM, bhajanabhavanE pradhAnamAsanaM,
7 and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
haTThE namaskAraM gururiti sambOdhananjcaitAni sarvvANi vAnjchanti|
8 And you may not be called Rabbi, for one is your teacher—the Christ, and you are all brothers;
kintu yUyaM gurava iti sambOdhanIyA mA bhavata, yatO yuSmAkam EkaH khrISTaEva guru
9 and you may not call [any] your father on the earth, for one is your Father, who is in the heavens,
ryUyaM sarvvE mithO bhrAtarazca| punaH pRthivyAM kamapi pitEti mA sambudhyadhvaM, yatO yuSmAkamEkaH svargasthaEva pitA|
10 nor may you be called teachers, for one is your teacher—the Christ.
yUyaM nAyakEti sambhASitA mA bhavata, yatO yuSmAkamEkaH khrISTaEva nAyakaH|
11 And the greater of you will be your servant,
aparaM yuSmAkaM madhyE yaH pumAn zrESThaH sa yuSmAn sEviSyatE|
12 and whoever will exalt himself will be humbled, and whoever will humble himself will be exalted.
yatO yaH svamunnamati, sa nataH kariSyatE; kintu yaH kazcit svamavanataM karOti, sa unnataH kariSyatE|
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.
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 ghOrataradaNPO bhaviSyati|
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.]]
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyamEkaM svadharmmAvalambinaM karttuM sAgaraM bhUmaNPalanjca pradakSiNIkurutha,
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)
kanjcana prApya svatO dviguNanarakabhAjanaM taM kurutha| (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!
vata andhapathadarzakAH sarvvE, yUyaM vadatha, mandirasya zapathakaraNAt kimapi na dEyaM; kintu mandirasthasuvarNasya zapathakaraNAd dEyaM|
17 Fools and blind! For which [is] greater, the gold, or the temple that is sanctifying the gold?
hE mUPhA hE andhAH suvarNaM tatsuvarNapAvakamandiram EtayOrubhayO rmadhyE kiM zrEyaH?
18 And, Whoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by the gift that is on it—is debtor!
anyacca vadatha, yajnjavEdyAH zapathakaraNAt kimapi na dEyaM, kintu taduparisthitasya naivEdyasya zapathakaraNAd dEyaM|
19 Fools and blind! For which [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that is sanctifying the gift?
hE mUPhA hE andhAH, naivEdyaM tannaivEdyapAvakavEdirEtayOrubhayO rmadhyE kiM zrEyaH?
20 He therefore who swore by the altar, swears by it, and by all things on it;
ataH kEnacid yajnjavEdyAH zapathE kRtE taduparisthasya sarvvasya zapathaH kriyatE|
21 and he who swore by the temple, swears by it, and by Him who is dwelling in it;
kEnacit mandirasya zapathE kRtE mandiratannivAsinOH zapathaH kriyatE|
22 and he who swore by Heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by Him who is sitting on it.
kEnacit svargasya zapathE kRtE IzvarIyasiMhAsanataduparyyupaviSTayOH zapathaH kriyatE|
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.
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM pOdinAyAH sitacchatrAyA jIrakasya ca dazamAMzAn dattha, kintu vyavasthAyA gurutarAn nyAyadayAvizvAsAn parityajatha; imE yuSmAbhirAcaraNIyA amI ca na laMghanIyAH|
24 Blind guides! Who are straining out the gnat, and are swallowing the camel.
hE andhapathadarzakA yUyaM mazakAn apasArayatha, kintu mahAggAn grasatha|
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.
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM pAnapAtrANAM bhOjanapAtrANAnjca bahiH pariSkurutha; kintu tadabhyantaraM durAtmatayA kaluSENa ca paripUrNamAstE|
26 Blind Pharisee! First cleanse the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside of them may also become clean.
hE andhAH phirUzilOkA Adau pAnapAtrANAM bhOjanapAtrANAnjcAbhyantaraM pariSkuruta, tEna tESAM bahirapi pariSkAriSyatE|
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;
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM zuklIkRtazmazAnasvarUpA bhavatha, yathA zmazAnabhavanasya bahizcAru, kintvabhyantaraM mRtalOkAnAM kIkazaiH sarvvaprakAramalEna ca paripUrNam;
28 so also you outwardly indeed appear to men righteous, and within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
tathaiva yUyamapi lOkAnAM samakSaM bahirdhArmmikAH kintvantaHkaraNESu kEvalakApaTyAdharmmAbhyAM paripUrNAH|
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the graves of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous,
hA hA kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM bhaviSyadvAdinAM zmazAnagEhaM nirmmAtha, sAdhUnAM zmazAnanikEtanaM zObhayatha
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.
vadatha ca yadi vayaM svESAM pUrvvapuruSANAM kAla asthAsyAma, tarhi bhaviSyadvAdinAM zONitapAtanE tESAM sahabhAginO nAbhaviSyAma|
31 So that you testify to yourselves that you are sons of them who murdered the prophets;
atO yUyaM bhaviSyadvAdighAtakAnAM santAnA iti svayamEva svESAM sAkSyaM dattha|
32 and you fill up the measure of your fathers.
atO yUyaM nijapUrvvapuruSANAM parimANapAtraM paripUrayata|
rE bhujagAH kRSNabhujagavaMzAH, yUyaM kathaM narakadaNPAd rakSiSyadhvE| (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,
pazyata, yuSmAkamantikam ahaM bhaviSyadvAdinO buddhimata upAdhyAyAMzca prESayiSyAmi, kintu tESAM katipayA yuSmAbhi rghAniSyantE, kruzE ca ghAniSyantE, kEcid bhajanabhavanE kaSAbhirAghAniSyantE, nagarE nagarE tAPiSyantE ca;
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:
tEna satpuruSasya hAbilO raktapAtamArabhya bErikhiyaH putraM yaM sikhariyaM yUyaM mandirayajnjavEdyO rmadhyE hatavantaH, tadIyazONitapAtaM yAvad asmin dEzE yAvatAM sAdhupuruSANAM zONitapAtO 'bhavat tat sarvvESAmAgasAM daNPA yuSmAsu varttiSyantE|
36 truly I say to you, all these things will come on this generation.
ahaM yuSmAnta tathyaM vadAmi, vidyamAnE'smin puruSE sarvvE varttiSyantE|
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.
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 is left to you desolate;
pazyata yaSmAkaM vAsasthAnam ucchinnaM tyakSyatE|
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.”
ahaM yuSmAn tathyaM vadAmi, yaH paramEzvarasya nAmnAgacchati, sa dhanya iti vANIM yAvanna vadiSyatha, tAvat mAM puna rna drakSyatha|
