< Matthew 23 >
1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
Orduan Iesus minça cequien gendetzey eta bere discipuluey.
2 saying, "Upon the seat of Moses the Pharisees and scribes sit.
Cioela, Moysesen cadirán iarten dirade Scribác eta Phariseuac:
3 All which they will say unto you, observe and do; but their works do not do, because they say, and do not do.
Cerere bada erranen baitrauçue beguira deçaçuen, beguira eçaçue eta eguiçue: baina hayén obrén araura eztaguiçuela: ecen erraiten duté, eta ez eguiten.
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.
Ecen carga piçuac eta iassan ecin daitezquenac biltzen dituzté, eta eçarten guiçonén soinetara: baina bere erhiaz hunqui nahi eztituzté.
5 But all their works they do to be seen by others. They make their tefillin broad and enlarge the fringe of their garments,
Eta bere obra guciac eguiten dituzté guiçonéz ikus ditecençát: ecen çabaltzen dituzté bere philacterioac, eta luçatzen dituzté bere veztimendetaco bazterrac.
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
Eta on darizté lehen placey banquetetan, eta lehen cadirey synagoguetan,
7 the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi' by people.
Eta salutationey merkatuetan, eta guiçonéz deithu içateari Magistruá, Magistruá.
8 But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your Teacher, and all of you are brothers.
Baina çuec etzaiteztela dei Magistru: ecen bat da çuen doctora, Christ: eta çuec gucioc, anaye çarete.
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
Eta çuen aita ezteçaçuela nehor dei lurrean: ecen bat da çuen Aita, ceruètan dena.
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
Eta etzaiteztela dei doctor: ecen bat da çuen doctora, Christ.
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
Baina çuen artean handién dena, biz çuen cerbitzari.
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Ecen bere buruä goraturen duena, beheraturen da: eta bere buruä beheraturen duena, goraturen da.
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.
Baina maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ceren ersten baituçue ceruètaco resumá guiçonén aitzinean: ecen çuec etzarete sartzen, eta sartzen diradenac eztituçue vtziten sartzera.
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.
Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác, ecen iresten dituçue ema alhargunén etcheac, are luçaqui othoitz eguin irudiz: halacotz duçue condemnatione handiagoa recebituren.
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 )
Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác, ecen itsassoa eta leihorra inguratzen dituçue, proselytobat daguiçuençát, eta eguin denean, gehennaco seme eguiten duçue dobláz ceuroc baino areago. (Geenna )
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.'
Maledictione çuen gainean guidari itsuác, ceinéc baitioçue, Norc-ere iuraturen baitu templeaz, ezta deus: baina norc-ere iuraturen baitu templeco vrrheaz, çordun da.
17 You blind fools. For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctified the gold?
Erhoác eta itsuác, cein da handiago vrrhea, ala vrrhea sanctificatzen duen templea?
18 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'
Eta erraiten duçue, norc-ere iuraturen baitu aldareaz, ezta deus: baina norc-ere iuraturen baitu haren gainean den oblationeaz, çordun da.
19 You blind people. For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
Erhoác eta itsuác, cein da handiago oblationea, ala oblationea sanctificatzen duen aldarea?
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
Beraz aldareaz iuratzen duenac, iuratzen du harçaz, eta haren gainean diraden gauça guciéz.
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
Eta norc-ere iuratzen baitu templeaz, iuratzen du harçaz, eta hartan habitatzen denaz.
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
Eta iuratzen duenac ceruäz, iuratzen du Iaincoaren thronoaz eta haren gainean iarriric dagoenaz.
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.
Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ecen detchematzen dituçue menta eta anisa eta cuminoa, eta vtziten dituçue Legueco gauça piçuagoac, hala nola, iugemendua eta misericordia eta leyaltatea: gauça hauc eguin behar ciraden, eta hec ez vtzi.
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Guidari itsuác, eltzoa irazten duçue: eta camelua iresten.
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.
Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ecen coparen eta plataren campoco aldea chahutzen duçue: baina barnetic dirade arrauberiaz, eta eccessez betheac.
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and the plate, so that the outside may become clean also.
Phariseu itsuá, chahu eçac lehenic coparen eta plataren barnecoa, hayén campocoa-ere chahu dadinçát.
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.
Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ecen sepulchre churituac irudi duçue, hec campotic eder eracusten dirade: baina barnetic hilén heçurrez eta satsutassun oroz betheac dirade.
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to people, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Halaber çuec-ere campotic guiçoney eracusten çarete iusto, baina barnean hypocrisiaz eta iniquitatez betheac çarete.
29 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ecen Prophetén sepulchreac edificatzen dituçue, eta iustoén monumentac ornatzen.
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.'
Eta dioçue, Baldin gure aitén egunetan içan baguina, ezquinén hayén lagun içanen Prophetén odolean.
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
Halatan testificatzen duçue ceurón buruén contra, ecen Prophetác hil dituztenén seme çaretela.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
Çuec-ere betha eçaçue çuen aitén neurria.
33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of hell? (Geenna )
Sugueác, vipera castác, nola itzuriren çaizquiote gehennaco iugemenduari? (Geenna )
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;
Halacotz huná, nic igorten ditut çuetara Prophetác eta Çuhurrac eta Scribác eta hetaric batzu hilen dituçue eta crucificaturen: eta hetaric batzu açotaturen dituçue çuen synagoguetan, eta persecutaturen hiritic hirira:
35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
Dathorrençát çuén gainera lurraren gainean issuri içan den odol iusto guçia, Abel iustoaren odoletic, Zacharia Barachiaren semearen odoleranocoa, cein hil vkan baituçue templearen eta aldarearen artean.
36 Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
Eguiaz diotsuet, ethorrico dirade gauça hauc guciac natione hunen gainera.
37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 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.
Ierusalem, Ierusalem, Prophetác hiltzen eta hiregana igorriac lapidatzen dituaná, cembatetan bildu nahi vkan ditut hire haourrac, oilloac bere chitoac hegalen azpira biltzen dituen beçala, eta ezpaituc nahi vkan?
38 Look, your house is abandoned to you.
Horrá, guelditzen çaiçue çuen etchea desert.
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.'"
Ecen badiotsuet, eznauçue ikussiren hemendic harát derraqueçueno, Benedicatu dela Iaunaren icenean ethorten dena.
