Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
Me i reira ka korero a Ihu ki te mano, ki ana akonga hoki,
2 saying, "Upon the seat of Moses the Pharisees and scribes sit.
Ka mea, Kei te nohoanga o Mohi nga karaipi ratou ko nga Parihi e noho ana:
3 All which they will say unto you, observe and do; but their works do not do, because they say, and do not do.
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 and hard to bear burdens, and lay them on people's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
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 to be seen by others. They make their tefillin broad and enlarge the fringe 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 place of honor at feasts, the best 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 the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi' by people.
Me nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko, a kia karangatia e te tangata, E Rapi.
8 But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your Teacher, and all of you are brothers.
Otiia aua koutou e karangatia, E Rapi: kotahi hoki to koutou kaiwhakaako; a he tuakana, he teina, koutou katoa.
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who 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 called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
Kaua ano koutou e kiia he kaiarahi: kotahi ano to koutou kaiarahi, ko te Karaiti.
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
Ko te mea nui rawa hoki o koutou, hei kaimahi ia ma koutou.
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will 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 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.
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 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.
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 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)
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 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.'
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 You blind fools. For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctified 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 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'
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 You blind people. For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies 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 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
Na, ki te oatitia e tetahi te aata, e oatitia ana e ia tera mea, me nga mea katoa i runga.
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
Ki te oatitia e tetahi te whare tapu, e oatitia ana e ia tera mea, me te kainoho o roto.
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
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 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.
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 You blind guides, who 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 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.
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, first clean the inside of the cup and the plate, so that the outside may become clean also.
E te Parihi matapo, matua horoia a roto o te kapu, o te pereti, kia ma ai hoki a waho.
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.
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 you also outwardly appear righteous to people, but inwardly 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 to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs 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 lived 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 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
He whakaatu tera na koutou, ko koutou nga tamariki a te hunga nana i patu nga poropiti.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
Tena ra, kia ki a koutou te mehua a o koutou matua.
E nga neke, e te uri nakahi, me aha ka rere ai koutou i te kupu tuku ki te reinga? (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;
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 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.
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 Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou. Tera e pa enei mea katoa ki tenei whakatupuranga.
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.
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 Look, your house is abandoned to you.
Na ka mahue atu ki a koutou to koutou whare kia takoto noa ana.
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.'"
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.
