Matthew 23
1 Then Yeshua spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
anantaraṁ yīśu rjananivahaṁ śiṣyāṁścāvadat,
2 saying, "Upon the seat of Mushe the Pharisees and scribes sit.
adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca mūsāsane upaviśanti,
3 All which they will say unto you, observe and do; but their works do not do, because they say, and do not do.
ataste yuṣmān yadyat mantum ājñāpayanti, tat manyadhvaṁ pālayadhvañca, kintu teṣāṁ karmmānurūpaṁ karmma na kurudhvaṁ; yatasteṣāṁ vākyamātraṁ sāraṁ kāryye kimapi nāsti|
4 For they bind heavy and hard to bear burdens, and lay them on people's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
te durvvahān gurutarān bhārān badvvā manuṣyāṇāṁ skandhepari samarpayanti, kintu svayamaṅgulyaikayāpi na cālayanti|
5 But all their works they do to be seen by others. They make their tefillin broad and enlarge the fringe of their garments,
kevalaṁ lokadarśanāya sarvvakarmmāṇi kurvvanti; phalataḥ paṭṭabandhān prasāryya dhārayanti, svavastreṣu ca dīrghagranthīn dhārayanti;
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
bhojanabhavana uccasthānaṁ, bhajanabhavane pradhānamāsanaṁ,
7 the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi' by people.
haṭṭhe namaskāraṁ gururiti sambodhanañcaitāni sarvvāṇi vāñchanti|
8 But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your Teacher, and all of you are brothers.
kintu yūyaṁ gurava iti sambodhanīyā mā bhavata, yato yuṣmākam ekaḥ khrīṣṭaeva guru
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
ryūyaṁ sarvve mitho bhrātaraśca| punaḥ pṛthivyāṁ kamapi piteti mā sambudhyadhvaṁ, yato yuṣmākamekaḥ svargasthaeva pitā|
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Meshikha.
yūyaṁ nāyaketi sambhāṣitā mā bhavata, yato yuṣmākamekaḥ khrīṣṭaeva nāyakaḥ|
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
aparaṁ yuṣmākaṁ madhye yaḥ pumān śreṣṭhaḥ sa yuṣmān seviṣyate|
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
yato yaḥ svamunnamati, sa nataḥ kariṣyate; kintu yaḥ kaścit svamavanataṁ karoti, sa unnataḥ kariṣyate|
13 "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you devour the houses of widows, and for show make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ manujānāṁ samakṣaṁ svargadvāraṁ rundha, yūyaṁ svayaṁ tena na praviśatha, pravivikṣūnapi vārayatha| vata kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca yūyaṁ chalād dīrghaṁ prārthya vidhavānāṁ sarvvasvaṁ grasatha, yuṣmākaṁ ghorataradaṇḍo bhaviṣyati|
14 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you shut up the kingdom of heaven in front of people; for you do not enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyamekaṁ svadharmmāvalambinaṁ karttuṁ sāgaraṁ bhūmaṇḍalañca pradakṣiṇīkurutha,
15 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of hell as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
kañcana prāpya svato dviguṇanarakabhājanaṁ taṁ kurutha| (Geenna g1067)
16 "Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.'
vata andhapathadarśakāḥ sarvve, yūyaṁ vadatha, mandirasya śapathakaraṇāt kimapi na deyaṁ; kintu mandirasthasuvarṇasya śapathakaraṇād deyaṁ|
17 You blind fools. For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctified the gold?
he mūḍhā he andhāḥ suvarṇaṁ tatsuvarṇapāvakamandiram etayorubhayo rmadhye kiṁ śreyaḥ?
18 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'
anyacca vadatha, yajñavedyāḥ śapathakaraṇāt kimapi na deyaṁ, kintu taduparisthitasya naivedyasya śapathakaraṇād deyaṁ|
19 You blind people. For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
he mūḍhā he andhāḥ, naivedyaṁ tannaivedyapāvakavediretayorubhayo rmadhye kiṁ śreyaḥ?
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
ataḥ kenacid yajñavedyāḥ śapathe kṛte taduparisthasya sarvvasya śapathaḥ kriyate|
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
kenacit mandirasya śapathe kṛte mandiratannivāsinoḥ śapathaḥ kriyate|
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
kenacit svargasya śapathe kṛte īśvarīyasiṁhāsanataduparyyupaviṣṭayoḥ śapathaḥ kriyate|
23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the Law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ podināyāḥ sitacchatrāyā jīrakasya ca daśamāṁśān dattha, kintu vyavasthāyā gurutarān nyāyadayāviśvāsān parityajatha; ime yuṣmābhirācaraṇīyā amī ca na laṁghanīyāḥ|
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
he andhapathadarśakā yūyaṁ maśakān apasārayatha, kintu mahāṅgān grasatha|
25 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but within they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.
hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ pānapātrāṇāṁ bhojanapātrāṇāñca bahiḥ pariṣkurutha; kintu tadabhyantaraṁ durātmatayā kaluṣeṇa ca paripūrṇamāste|
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and the plate, so that the outside may become clean also.
he andhāḥ phirūśilokā ādau pānapātrāṇāṁ bhojanapātrāṇāñcābhyantaraṁ pariṣkuruta, tena teṣāṁ bahirapi pariṣkāriṣyate|
27 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead people's bones, and of all uncleanness.
hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ śuklīkṛtaśmaśānasvarūpā bhavatha, yathā śmaśānabhavanasya bahiścāru, kintvabhyantaraṁ mṛtalokānāṁ kīkaśaiḥ sarvvaprakāramalena ca paripūrṇam;
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to people, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
tathaiva yūyamapi lokānāṁ samakṣaṁ bahirdhārmmikāḥ kintvantaḥkaraṇeṣu kevalakāpaṭyādharmmābhyāṁ paripūrṇāḥ|
29 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
hā hā kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ śmaśānagehaṁ nirmmātha, sādhūnāṁ śmaśānaniketanaṁ śobhayatha
30 and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'
vadatha ca yadi vayaṁ sveṣāṁ pūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ kāla asthāsyāma, tarhi bhaviṣyadvādināṁ śoṇitapātane teṣāṁ sahabhāgino nābhaviṣyāma|
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
ato yūyaṁ bhaviṣyadvādighātakānāṁ santānā iti svayameva sveṣāṁ sākṣyaṁ dattha|
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
ato yūyaṁ nijapūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ parimāṇapātraṁ paripūrayata|
33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gihana? (Geenna g1067)
re bhujagāḥ kṛṣṇabhujagavaṁśāḥ, yūyaṁ kathaṁ narakadaṇḍād rakṣiṣyadhve| (Geenna g1067)
34 Therefore, look, I send to you prophets, wise people, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city;
paśyata, yuṣmākamantikam ahaṁ bhaviṣyadvādino buddhimata upādhyāyāṁśca preṣayiṣyāmi, kintu teṣāṁ katipayā yuṣmābhi rghāniṣyante, kruśe ca ghāniṣyante, kecid bhajanabhavane kaṣābhirāghāniṣyante, nagare nagare tāḍiṣyante ca;
35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Habeil to the blood of Zekharya son of Berakhiya, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
tena satpuruṣasya hābilo raktapātamārabhya berikhiyaḥ putraṁ yaṁ sikhariyaṁ yūyaṁ mandirayajñavedyo rmadhye hatavantaḥ, tadīyaśoṇitapātaṁ yāvad asmin deśe yāvatāṁ sādhupuruṣāṇāṁ śoṇitapāto 'bhavat tat sarvveṣāmāgasāṁ daṇḍā yuṣmāsu varttiṣyante|
36 Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
ahaṁ yuṣmānta tathyaṁ vadāmi, vidyamāne'smin puruṣe sarvve varttiṣyante|
37 "Urishlim, Urishlim, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not.
he yirūśālam he yirūśālam nagari tvaṁ bhaviṣyadvādino hatavatī, tava samīpaṁ preritāṁśca pāṣāṇairāhatavatī, yathā kukkuṭī śāvakān pakṣādhaḥ saṁgṛhlāti, tathā tava santānān saṁgrahītuṁ ahaṁ bahuvāram aicchaṁ; kintu tvaṁ na samamanyathāḥ|
38 Look, your house is abandoned to you.
paśyata yaṣmākaṁ vāsasthānam ucchinnaṁ tyakṣyate|
39 For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
ahaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi, yaḥ parameśvarasya nāmnāgacchati, sa dhanya iti vāṇīṁ yāvanna vadiṣyatha, tāvat māṁ puna rna drakṣyatha|
