Mataio 23
1 A LAILA, olelo mai la o Iesu i ka poe kanaka a me kana poe haumana.
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:
2 I mai la, Ke noho nei ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio ma ka noho o Mose.
“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
3 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.
So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
4 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.
They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 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.
All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
6 Ke makemake nei lakou i na wahi maikai ma na ahaaina, a me na noho kiekie ma na halehalawai;
They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 A me ka uwe alohaia'ku ma na aha kanaka, a me ke kapaia e na kanaka, E Rabi, e Rabi.
the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
8 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.
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9 Aole hoi e hoomakua aku oukou i kekahi kanaka ma ka honua nei; hookahi o oukou Makua, aia i ka lani.
And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
10 Aole hoi oukou e kapaia mai na Haku, hookahi o oukou Haku, o ka Mesia.
Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.
11 O ka mea nui iwaena o oukou, he pono e lilo ia i kauwa na oukou.
The greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 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.
For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 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.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let in those who wish to enter.
14 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 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)
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You traverse land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are. (Geenna g1067)
16 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!
Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’
17 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?
You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?
18 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.
And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.’
19 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?
You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?
20 O ka mea hoohiki ma ke kuahu, oia no ka hoohiki ma ia mea a me na mea a pau maluna iho.
So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21 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.
And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.
22 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.
And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.
23 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.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
24 E na alakai makapo, ke kanana nei i ka naonao, me ke ale wale iho i ke kamelo.
You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 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.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
26 E ka Parisaio makapo: e holoi mua oe ia loko o ke kiaha a me ke pa, i maemae pu ia me ko waho.
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.
27 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.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity.
28 Pela hoi oukou, ua ikea e na kanaka, he maikai mawaho; aka, ua piha o loko i ka hoopunipuni a me ka pono ole.
In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29 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;
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.
30 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.
And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’
31 Pela oukou e hoike mai nei ia oukou iho, he mamo oukou na ka poe pepehi kaula.
So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
32 E hoopiha ae hoi oukou i ke ana o ko oukou poe kupuna.
Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.
33 E ka poe nahesa, ka ohana moonihoawa, pehea la auanei oukou e pakele ai i ka make ma gehena? (Geenna g1067)
You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 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.
Because of this, I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and others you will flog in your synagogues and persecute in town after town.
35 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.
And so upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
36 He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, E kau mai ana keia mau mea a pau maluna o keia hanauna.
Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37 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.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
38 Aia hoi, ua waiho neoneo ia no oukou ko oukou hale o noho ai.
Look, your house is left to you desolate.
39 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.
For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
