Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,
A LAILA, olelo mai la o Iesu i ka poe kanaka a me kana poe haumana.
2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat.
I mai la, Ke noho nei ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio ma ka noho o Mose.
3 Therefore observe and do all that they tell you to observe. But do not do what they do, for they say things and do not do them.
Nolaila, o na mea a pau a lakou e kauoha mai ai e malama, e malama oukou ia a e hana aku pela; aka, mai hana oukou e like me ka lakou hana ana: no ka mea, ke olelo nei lakou, aole nae e hana.
4 They bind burdens that are heavy and hard to bear and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Ke nakinaki nei lakou i na ukana kaumaha, a he luhi hoi ke hali, a ke kau nei iluna o na hokua o na kanaka; aole nae lakou e hoopa iki aku ia mau mea me kekahi manamanalima o lakou.
5 They do all their works to be seen by others. They make their phylacteries wide and the fringes of their garments long.
Ke hana nei lakou i ka lakou mau hana a pau, i ikea mai ai e na kanaka. Ke hoopalahalaha nei lakou i ua apana kanawai o lakou; a ke hoonui nei hoi lakou i na lepa o ka lakou aahu.
6 They love the place of honor at banquets, the best seats in the synagogues,
Ke makemake nei lakou i na wahi maikai ma na ahaaina, a me na noho kiekie ma na halehalawai;
7 greetings in the marketplaces, and when others call them ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’
A me ka uwe alohaia'ku ma na aha kanaka, a me ke kapaia e na kanaka, E Rabi, e Rabi.
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for there is one who is your instructor, the Christ, and you are all brothers.
Aka, o oukou, mai kapaia oukou he Rabi, no ka mea, hookahi a oukou Kumu, o ka Mesia, a he poe hoahanau oukou a pau.
9 And do not call anyone on earth your father, for there is one who is your Father, he who is in heaven.
Aole hoi e hoomakua aku oukou i kekahi kanaka ma ka honua nei; hookahi o oukou Makua, aia i ka lani.
10 Neither are you to be called instructors, for there is one who is your instructor, the Christ.
Aole hoi oukou e kapaia mai na Haku, hookahi o oukou Haku, o ka Mesia.
11 But he who is greater among you must be your servant.
O ka mea nui iwaena o oukou, he pono e lilo ia i kauwa na oukou.
12 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
O ka mea hookiekie ae ia ia iho, e hoohaahaaia iho no ia; a o ka mea hoohaahaa ia ia iho, e hookiekieia'e oia.
13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive a more severe judgment.
Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na bookamani! no ka mea, ke papani nei oukou i ke aupuni o ka lani imua o na kanaka; no ka mea, aole oukou e komo ae, aole hoi oukou e ae aku e komo iloko ka poe e komo ana.
14 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut people out of the kingdom of heaven. You yourselves do not enter, nor do you let in those who are trying to enter.
Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me na Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ua pau ia oukou na hale o na wahinekanemake; a ke hooloihi nei oukou i na pule i mea e ikea ai. No ia hoi, e loaa uanei ia oukou ka make nui loa.
15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cross sea and land to make a single convert, and when he has become one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ke poaihaele nei oukou i ke kai a me ka aina, i kaana mai ai na oukou kekahi haumana; a loaa, ua hana oukou ia ia, a oi papalua kona keiki ana no Gehena mamua o ko oukou. (Geenna g1067)
16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’
Auwe oukou, e na alakai makapo, ka i olelo, O ka hoohiki aku ma ka luakini he mea ole ia; aka, o ka mea hoohiki aku ma ke gula o ka luakini, he aie kana!
17 You fools and blind men! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
He poe naaupo a me ka makapo: heaha ka mea oi, o ke gula anei, a o ka luakini anei, ka mea e laa ai ke gula?
18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’
A, o ka mea hoohiki aku ma ke kuahu, he mea ole ia; aka, o ka mea hoohiki aku ma ka mohai iluna iho, he aie kana.
19 You fools and blind men! Which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
He poe naaupo a me ka makapo: heaha ka mea oi, o ka mohai anei, a o ke kuahu anei, ka mea e laa ai ka mohai?
20 Therefore, whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
O ka mea hoohiki ma ke kuahu, oia no ka hoohiki ma ia mea a me na mea a pau maluna iho.
21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it.
A o ka mea hoohiki aka ma ka luakini, oia no ke hoohiki aku ma ia mea, a me ka mea e noho ana iloko.
22 And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.
A o ka mea hoohiki ma ka lani, oia ke hoohiki ma ka nohoalii o ke Akua, a me ka mea e noho ana iluna iho.
23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, yet you have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. These you ought to have practiced without neglecting the other things.
Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ke hookupu nei oukou i ka hapaumi o ka mineta me ka aneto a me ke kumino; a ke haalele nei i na mea nui o ke kanawai, i ka hoopono, i ke aloha a me ka hooiaio: o ka oukou mau mea keia e pono ai ke hana, aole hoi e haalele i kela.
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat but swallow a camel!
E na alakai makapo, ke kanana nei i ka naonao, me ke ale wale iho i ke kamelo.
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but the inside is filled with the fruits of your robbery and unrighteousness.
Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ke holoi nei oukou ia waho o ke kiaha a me ke pa; aka, ua piha o loko i ka mea i kaili wale ia a me ka liki ole i ka hoomanawanui.
26 Yoʋ blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside of them will also be clean.
E ka Parisaio makapo: e holoi mua oe ia loko o ke kiaha a me ke pa, i maemae pu ia me ko waho.
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside they are full of the bones of the dead and all uncleanness.
Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ua like oukou me na halekupapau keokeo; ua ikea nae ko waho he maikai; aka, ua piha o loko i na iwikupapau a me ka pelapela.
28 In the same way, you also appear righteous to others on the outside, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Pela hoi oukou, ua ikea e na kanaka, he maikai mawaho; aka, ua piha o loko i ka hoopunipuni a me ka pono ole.
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the graves of the righteous,
Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ke hana nei oukou i na halekupapau no ka poe kaula, a ke hoonaui nei hoi i na halekupapau no ka poe haipule;
30 and you say, ‘If we had been alive in the days of our fathers, we would not have been participants with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’
A ke olelo nei oukou, Ina makou i ola pu i ka wa o ka makou poe kupuna, aole makou i hookahe pu me lakou i ke koko o ka poe kaula.
31 Therefore you bear witness against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
Pela oukou e hoike mai nei ia oukou iho, he mamo oukou na ka poe pepehi kaula.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
E hoopiha ae hoi oukou i ke ana o ko oukou poe kupuna.
E ka poe nahesa, ka ohana moonihoawa, pehea la auanei oukou e pakele ai i ka make ma gehena? (Geenna g1067)
34 Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets, sages, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town.
Nolaila hoi, ke hoouna aku nei au ia oukou la i na kaula a me na kanaka naauao, a me na kakaoolelo: a na oukou e pepehi a e kau ma ke kea i kekahi poe o lakou; a e hahau hoi i kekahi poe o lakou ma na halehalawai; a e alualu hoi ia lakou mai keia kulanakauhale a kela kulanakauhale.
35 As a result, all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth will come upon you, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
I hookauia maluna iho o oukou ke koko hala ole a pau i hookaheia maluna o ka honua, mai ke koko o Abela o ke kanaka pono mai, a hiki i ke koko o Zakaria ke keiki a Barakia, a oukou i pepehi ai mawaena o ka luakini a me ke kuahu.
36 Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, E kau mai ana keia mau mea a pau maluna o keia hanauna.
37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to yoʋ! How often I have wanted to gather yoʋr children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
E Ierusalema, e Iersualema! ka mea nana i pepehi i na kaula, a i hailuku hoi i ka poe i hoounaia mai iou nei; nani kuu makemake e houluulu mai i kau poe keiki, e like me ka houluulu ana a ka mea i kana ohana keiki malalo iho o kona mau eheu; aole nae oukou i makemake mai.
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
Aia hoi, ua waiho neoneo ia no oukou ko oukou hale o noho ai.
39 For I tell you, from now on you will certainly not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
No ka mea, ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, Aole oukou e ike hou mai ia, u, a hiki i ka wa e olelo mai ai oukou, e hoomaikaiia ka mea e hele mai ana ma ka iuoa o ka Haku.
