Κατα Ματθαιον 23
1 τοτε {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους ελαλησεν τοις οχλοις και τοις μαθηταις αυτου
Then Jeshu discoursed with the multitudes and with his disciples,
2 λεγων επι της μωυσεως καθεδρας εκαθισαν οι γραμματεις και οι φαρισαιοι
and said to them, Upon the chair of Musha sit the scribes and the Pharishee.
3 παντα ουν οσα εαν ειπωσιν υμιν ποιησατε και τηρειτε κατα δε τα εργα αυτων μη ποιειτε λεγουσιν γαρ και ου ποιουσιν
Every thing, therefore, which they tell you to observe, observe and do; but after their practices do not act; for they say, and do not.
4 δεσμευουσιν δε φορτια βαρεα {VAR2: [και δυσβαστακτα] } και επιτιθεασιν επι τους ωμους των ανθρωπων αυτοι δε τω δακτυλω αυτων ου θελουσιν κινησαι αυτα
And they bind heavy burdens, and lay them on the shoulders of men, but they with their fingers are not willing to touch them.
5 παντα δε τα εργα αυτων ποιουσιν προς το θεαθηναι τοις ανθρωποις πλατυνουσιν γαρ τα φυλακτηρια αυτων και μεγαλυνουσιν τα κρασπεδα
And all their works they do that they may be seen of men; for they widen their tephillin, and lengthen the fringes of their waving vestments,
6 φιλουσιν δε την πρωτοκλισιαν εν τοις δειπνοις και τας πρωτοκαθεδριας εν ταις συναγωγαις
and love the chief reclining-places at evening feasts, and the highest seats in synagogues,
7 και τους ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις και καλεισθαι υπο των ανθρωπων ραββι
and the shaloma in public places, and to be called of men Râbi.
8 υμεις δε μη κληθητε ραββι εις γαρ εστιν υμων ο διδασκαλος παντες δε υμεις αδελφοι εστε
But be you not called Râbi: for One is your Master; but all ye are brethren.
9 και πατερα μη καλεσητε υμων επι της γης εις γαρ εστιν υμων ο πατηρ ο ουρανιος
And call no man Abâ to you upon earth: for One is your Father, who is in heaven.
10 μηδε κληθητε καθηγηται οτι καθηγητης υμων εστιν εις ο χριστος
Neither be ye called Medabronee: for One is your Guide, -the Meshicha.
11 ο δε μειζων υμων εσται υμων διακονος
But he who is great among you, let him be your servitor.
12 οστις δε υψωσει εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται και οστις ταπεινωσει εαυτον υψωθησεται
For whosoever will exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever will abase himself shall be exalted.
13 ουαι δε υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι κλειετε την βασιλειαν των ουρανων εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων υμεις γαρ ουκ εισερχεσθε ουδε τους εισερχομενους αφιετε εισελθειν
Woe to you, scribes and Pharishee, hypocrites! because you hold the kingdom of heaven closed before the children of men; for you will not enter in yourselves, and them who are entering you will not permit to enter.
WOE to you, scribes and Pharishee, hypocrites! because you devour the houses of widows, with the pretext of prolonging your prayers; on account of which you shall receive the greater judgment.
15 ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι περιαγετε την θαλασσαν και την ξηραν ποιησαι ενα προσηλυτον και οταν γενηται ποιειτε αυτον υιον γεεννης διπλοτερον υμων (Geenna g1067)
Woe to you, scribes and Pharishee, hypocrites! because you go over sea and dry (land) to make one proselyte; and when you have done it, you make him doubly more a son of gihana than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 ουαι υμιν οδηγοι τυφλοι οι λεγοντες ος αν ομοση εν τω ναω ουδεν εστιν ος δ αν ομοση εν τω χρυσω του ναου οφειλει
Woe to you, ye blind guides, who say, That who sweareth by the temple, it is nothing; but if he swear by the gold which is in the temple, he is liable!
17 μωροι και τυφλοι τις γαρ μειζων εστιν ο χρυσος η ο ναος ο αγιασας τον χρυσον
You senseless and blind! for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 και ος αν ομοση εν τω θυσιαστηριω ουδεν εστιν ος δ αν ομοση εν τω δωρω τω επανω αυτου οφειλει
And (that) whoever sweareth by the altar, it is nothing; but he swear by the oblation which is upon it, he is liable.
19 τυφλοι τι γαρ μειζον το δωρον η το θυσιαστηριον το αγιαζον το δωρον
You foolish and sightless! for which is greater, the oblation, or the altar that sanctifieth the oblation?
20 ο ουν ομοσας εν τω θυσιαστηριω ομνυει εν αυτω και εν πασιν τοις επανω αυτου
He therefore who sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things that are upon it.
21 και ο ομοσας εν τω ναω ομνυει εν αυτω και εν τω κατοικουντι αυτον
And he who sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by whatever abideth in it.
22 και ο ομοσας εν τω ουρανω ομνυει εν τω θρονω του θεου και εν τω καθημενω επανω αυτου
And whosoever sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of Aloha, and by Him who sitteth thereon.
23 ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι αποδεκατουτε το ηδυοσμον και το ανηθον και το κυμινον και αφηκατε τα βαρυτερα του νομου την κρισιν και το ελεος και την πιστιν ταυτα {VAR1: δε } {VAR2: [δε] } εδει ποιησαι κακεινα μη {VAR1: αφειναι } {VAR2: αφιεναι }
Woe to you, scribes, Pharishee, hypocrites! because you tithe mint, dill, and cummin, and omit the more grave of the law, -justice, benignity, and faithfulness. For these you should have done, and those not omitted.
24 οδηγοι τυφλοι {VAR2: οι } διυλιζοντες τον κωνωπα την δε καμηλον καταπινοντες
You blind guides, who strain out gnats and swallow camels.
25 ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι καθαριζετε το εξωθεν του ποτηριου και της παροψιδος εσωθεν δε γεμουσιν εξ αρπαγης και ακρασιας
Woe to you, scribes and Pharishee, hypocrites! who cleanse the outside of the cup and dish (which) within are full of rapine and injustice.
26 φαρισαιε τυφλε καθαρισον πρωτον το εντος του ποτηριου {VAR1: [και της παροψιδος] } ινα γενηται και το εκτος αυτου καθαρον
Sightless Pharishee! cleanse first the inside of the cup and the dish, that their outside also may be clean.
27 ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι παρομοιαζετε ταφοις κεκονιαμενοις οιτινες εξωθεν μεν φαινονται ωραιοι εσωθεν δε γεμουσιν οστεων νεκρων και πασης ακαθαρσιας
Woe to you, scribes and Pharishee, hypocrites! for you are like whited sepulchres, which without appear beautiful, but within are full of the bones of the dead and all impurity.
28 ουτως και υμεις εξωθεν μεν φαινεσθε τοις ανθρωποις δικαιοι εσωθεν δε εστε μεστοι υποκρισεως και ανομιας
So you also from without appear to the sons of men as righteous, but within you are full of unrighteousness and hypocrisy.
29 ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι οικοδομειτε τους ταφους των προφητων και κοσμειτε τα μνημεια των δικαιων
WOE to you, scribes and Pharishee, hypocrites! because you rebuild the tombs of the prophets and beautify the sepulchres of the just; and say,
30 και λεγετε ει ημεθα εν ταις ημεραις των πατερων ημων ουκ αν ημεθα αυτων κοινωνοι εν τω αιματι των προφητων
If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been with them partakers in the blood of the prophets:
31 ωστε μαρτυρειτε εαυτοις οτι υιοι εστε των φονευσαντων τους προφητας
thus bearing witness against yourselves, that you are the sons of them who killed the prophets.
32 και υμεις πληρωσατε το μετρον των πατερων υμων
And you also, -complete the measure of your fathers.
Serpents, birth of vipers! how will you escape from the judgment of gihana? (Geenna g1067)
34 δια τουτο ιδου εγω αποστελλω προς υμας προφητας και σοφους και γραμματεις εξ αυτων αποκτενειτε και σταυρωσετε και εξ αυτων μαστιγωσετε εν ταις συναγωγαις υμων και διωξετε απο πολεως εις πολιν
On this account, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; (some) of these you shall kill and crucify; and (some) of these you shall scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city.
35 οπως ελθη εφ υμας παν αιμα δικαιον εκχυννομενον επι της γης απο του αιματος αβελ του δικαιου εως του αιματος ζαχαριου υιου βαραχιου ον εφονευσατε μεταξυ του ναου και του θυσιαστηριου
So that there shall come upon you all the blood of the just which hath been shed upon the earth; from the blood of Habil the righteous, unto the blood of Zakaria-bar-Barakia, whom you slew between the temple and the altar.
36 αμην λεγω υμιν ηξει ταυτα παντα επι την γενεαν ταυτην
Amen I say unto you, that all these shall come upon this generation.
37 ιερουσαλημ ιερουσαλημ η αποκτεινουσα τους προφητας και λιθοβολουσα τους απεσταλμενους προς αυτην ποσακις ηθελησα επισυναγαγειν τα τεκνα σου ον τροπον ορνις επισυναγει τα νοσσια {VAR1: [αυτης] } {VAR2: αυτης } υπο τας πτερυγας και ουκ ηθελησατε
Urishlem, Urishlem! who killest the prophets, and stonest them who are sent unto her, what times would I have gathered thy children, as gathereth the hen her young ones beneath her wings, and you would not!
38 ιδου αφιεται υμιν ο οικος υμων {VAR2: ερημος }
Lo, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 λεγω γαρ υμιν ου μη με ιδητε απ αρτι εως αν ειπητε ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι κυριου
For I say unto you, That you shall not see me from henceforth, until you shall say, Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord.
