Matthew 23
1 Then spake Iesus to the people and to his disciples
Tunc Jesus locutus est ad turbas, et ad discipulos suos,
2 sayinge. The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.
dicens: Super cathedram Moysi sederunt scribæ et pharisæi.
3 All therfore whatsoever they byd you observe that observe and do: but after their workes do not:
Omnia ergo quæcumque dixerint vobis, servate, et facite: secundum opera vero eorum nolite facere: dicunt enim, et non faciunt.
4 For they saye and do not. Ye and they bynde hevy burthes and grevous to be borne and ley the on menes shulders: but they themsylfes will not heave at them with one of their fyngers.
Alligant enim onera gravia, et importabilia, et imponunt in humeros hominum: digito autem suo nolunt ea movere.
5 All their workes they do for to be sene of me. They set abroade their philateries and make large borders on there garmetes
Omnia vero opera sua faciunt ut videantur ab hominibus: dilatant enim phylacteria sua, et magnificant fimbrias.
6 and love to sit vppermooste at feastes and to have the chefe seates in the synagoges
Amant autem primos recubitus in cœnis, et primas cathedras in synagogis,
7 and gretinges in the marketes and to be called of men Rabi.
et salutationes in foro, et vocari ab hominibus Rabbi.
8 But ye shall not suffre youre selves to be called Rabi. For one is youre master that is to wyt Christ and all ye are brethre.
Vos autem nolite vocari Rabbi: unus est enim magister vester, omnes autem vos fratres estis.
9 And call no man youre father vpon the erth for there is but one youre father and he is in heven.
Et patrem nolite vocare vobis super terram: unus est enim pater vester qui in cælis est.
10 Be not called masters for there is but one youre master and he is Christ.
Nec vocemini magistri: quia magister vester unus est, Christus.
11 He that is greatest amoge you shalbe youre seruaunte.
Qui major est vestrum, erit minister vester.
12 But whosoever exalteth himsilfe shalbe brought lowe. And he yt hubleth himsilfe shalbe exalted.
Qui autem se exaltaverit, humiliabitur: et qui se humiliaverit, exaltabitur.
13 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites for ye shutte vp the kyngdome of heve before men: ye youre selves goo not in nether suffre ye them that come to enter in.
Væ autem vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia clauditis regnum cælorum ante homines! vos enim non intratis, nec introëuntes sinitis intrare.
14 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites: ye devoure widdowes houses and that vnder a coloure of praying longe prayers: wherfore ye shall receave greater damnacion.
Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia comeditis domos viduarum, orationes longas orantes! propter hoc amplius accipietis judicium.
15 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites which compasse see and londe to bringe one in to youre belefe: and when he ys brought ye make him two folde more the chylde of hell then ye youre selves are. (Geenna g1067)
Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia circuitis mare, et aridam, ut faciatis unum proselytum, et cum fuerit factus, facitis eum filium gehennæ duplo quam vos. (Geenna g1067)
16 Wo be vnto you blynd gides which saye whosoever sweare by the teple it is no thinge: but whosoever sweare by the golde of the temple he offendeth.
Væ vobis duces cæci, qui dicitis: Quicumque juraverit per templum, nihil est: qui autem juraverit in auro templi, debet.
17 Ye foles and blinde? whether is greater the golde or the teple that sanctifieth ye golde.
Stulti et cæci: quid enim majus est? aurum, an templum, quod sanctificat aurum?
18 And whosoever sweareth by the aulter it is nothinge: but whosoever sweareth by ye offeringe yt lyeth on ye aultre offendeth.
Et quicumque juraverit in altari, nihil est: quicumque autem juraverit in dono, quod est super illud, debet.
19 Ye foles and blinde: whether is greater ye offeringe or ye aultre which sanctifieth ye offeringe?
Cæci: quid enim majus est, donum, an altare, quod sanctificat donum?
20 Whosoever therfore sweareth by ye aultre sweareth by it and by all yt there on is.
Qui ergo jurat in altari, jurat in eo, et in omnibus quæ super illud sunt.
21 And whosoever sweareth by the teple sweareth by it and by hym yt dwelleth therin.
Et quicumque juraverit in templo, jurat in illo, et in eo qui habitat in ipso:
22 And he that sweareth by heve swereth by the seate of God and by hym that sytteth theron.
et qui jurat in cælo, jurat in throno Dei, et in eo qui sedet super eum.
23 Wo be to you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites which tythe mynt annyse and comen and leave the waygthtyer mattres of ye lawe vndone: iudgemet mercy and fayth. These ought ye to have done and not to have left the othre vndone.
Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, qui decimatis mentham, et anethum, et cyminum, et reliquistis quæ graviora sunt legis, judicium, et misericordiam, et fidem! hæc oportuit facere, et illa non omittere.
24 Ye blinde gydes which strayne out a gnat and swalowe a cammyll.
Duces cæci, excolantes culicem, camelum autem glutientes.
25 Wo be to you scribes and pharises ypocrites which make clene ye vtter syde of the cuppe and of the platter: but within they are full of brybery and excesse.
Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia mundatis quod deforis est calicis et paropsidis; intus autem pleni estis rapina et immunditia!
26 Thou blinde Pharise clense fyrst the outsyde of the cup and platter that the ynneside of them maye be clene also.
Pharisæe cæce, munda prius quod intus est calicis, et paropsidis, ut fiat id, quod deforis est, mundum.
27 Wo be to you Scribe and Pharises ypocrite for ye are lyke vnto paynted tombes which appere beautyfull outwarde: but are wt in full of deed bones and of all fylthynes.
Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia similes estis sepulchris dealbatis, quæ a foris parent hominibus speciosa, intus vero pleni sunt ossibus mortuorum, et omni spurcitia!
28 So are ye for outwarde ye appere righteous vnto me when within ye are full of ypocrisie and iniquite.
Sic et vos a foris quidem paretis hominibus justi: intus autem pleni estis hypocrisi et iniquitate.
29 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites: ye bylde the tombes of the Prophetes and garnisshe the sepulchres of the righteous
Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, qui ædificatis sepulchra prophetarum, et ornatis monumenta justorum,
30 and saye: Yf we had bene in the dayes of oure fathers we wolde not have bene parteners with them in the bloud of the Prophetes.
et dicitis: Si fuissemus in diebus patrum nostrorum, non essemus socii eorum in sanguine prophetarum!
31 So then ye be witnesses vnto youre selfes that ye are the chyldren of them which killed the prophetes.
itaque testimonio estis vobismetipsis, quia filii estis eorum, qui prophetas occiderunt.
32 Fulfill ye lyke wyse the measure of youre fathers.
Et vos implete mensuram patrum vestrorum.
Serpentes, genimina viperarum, quomodo fugietis a judicio gehennæ? (Geenna g1067)
34 Wherfore beholde I sende vnto you prophetes wyse men and scribes and of the ye shall kyll and crucifie: and of the ye shall scourge in youre synagoges and persecute from cyte to cyte
Ideo ecce ego mitto ad vos prophetas, et sapientes, et scribas, et ex illis occidetis, et crucifigetis, et ex eis flagellabitis in synagogis vestris, et persequemini de civitate in civitatem:
35 that vpon you maye come all the righteous bloude that was sheed vpon the erth fro the bloud of righteous Abell vnto ye bloud of zacharias the sonne of Barachias who ye slewe betwene the teple and ye altre.
ut veniat super vos omnis sanguis justus, qui effusus est super terram, a sanguine Abel justi usque ad sanguinem Zachariæ, filii Barachiæ, quem occidistis inter templum et altare.
36 Verely I say vnto you all these thinges shall light vpon this generacion.
Amen dico vobis, venient hæc omnia super generationem istam.
37 Hierusalem hierusalem which kyllest prophetes and stonest the which are sent to the: how often wolde I have gadered thy chyldren to gether as the henne gadreth her chickes vnder her winges but ye wolde not:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, quæ occidis prophetas, et lapidas eos, qui ad te missi sunt, quoties volui congregare filios tuos, quemadmodum gallina congregat pullos suos sub alas, et noluisti?
38 Beholde youre habitacio shalbe lefte vnto you desolate.
Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta.
39 For I saye to you ye shall not se me heceforthe tyll that ye saye: blessed is he that cometh in the name of ye Lorde.
Dico enim vobis, non me videbitis amodo, donec dicatis: Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini.
