Mateo 23
1 Kalpasanna, nagsao ni Jesus kadagiti adu a tattao ken kadagiti adalanna.
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:
2 Kinunana, “Agtugtugaw dagiti eskriba ken Pariseo iti tugaw ni Moses'.
“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
3 Ngarud aniaman nga ibilinda kadakayo nga aramiden, aramidenyo ken tungpalenyo dagitoy a banbanag. Ngem saanyo a tuladen dagiti aramidda, ta mangibagada kadagiti banbanag ngem saanda nga aramiden dagitoy.
So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
4 Wen, mangreppetda kadagiti dadagsen a narigat nga awiten, ket ipabaklayda kadagiti tattao. Ngem mismo nga isuda ket saandanto nga ikuti iti ramayda tapno awitenda.
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 Amin dagiti aramidda, aramidenda tapno makita dagiti tattao. Ta aramidenda nga akaba dagiti filacteriada ken pagayadenda dagiti baruyboy dagiti pagan-anayda.
All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
6 Pagay-ayatda dagiti kangrunaan a lugar iti pagrarambakan ken dagiti kangrunaan a pagtugawan kadagiti sinagoga,
They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 ken dagiti naisangsangayan a kablaaw kadagiti pagtagilakoan, ken ti panawag kdakuada dagiti tattao iti 'Rabbi.'
the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
8 Ngem masapul a saankayo a maawagan iti 'Rabbi', ta addaankayo laeng iti maysa a maestro, ken agkakabsatkayo amin.
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9 Ken awan ti awaganyo iti ‘amak’ ditoy daga, ta addaankayo iti maysa laeng nga Ama, ket adda isuna idiay Langit.
And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
10 Wenno saan a masapul a maawagankayo iti 'maestro', ta addaankayo laeng iti maysa a maestro, ti Cristo.
Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.
11 Ngem ti siasinoman a katan-okan kadakayo isunanto ti adipenyo.
The greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 Maipababanto ti siasinoman a mangipangato iti bagina. Ken maitan-okto ti siasinoman a mangipakumbaba iti bagina.
For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 Ngem asikayo pay, dakayo nga eskriba ken Pariseo a managinsisingpet! Iserserrayo ti pagarian ti langit kadagiti tattao. Ta dakayo a mismo saankayo sumsumrek iti daytoy, ken saanyo nga ipalubos a sumrek dagiti sumrek koma. Dagiti kaunaan a kasayaatan a kopia ket naikkat ti bersikulo
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.
15 Asikayo pay, dakayo nga eskriba ken Pariseo, a managinsisingpet! Ta mapankayo iti ballasiw ti taaw ken daga tapno adda maallukoyyo a mamati iti isursuroyo. Ket inton agbalinen a kas kadakayo, pagbalinenyo isuna nga ad-adda pay nga anak ti impierno ngem kadakayo. (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 Asikayo pay, dakayo a bulsek a mangidaldalan, dakayo a nangibaga, 'Siasinoman nga agsapata babaen iti templo, ket awan serserbi ti sapatana. Ngem siasinoman nga agsapata babaen iti balitok iti templo, naigalut isuna iti dayta a sapatana,
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 Dakayo a bulsek a maag, ania ti natantan-ok, ti balitok, wenno ti templo a mamagbalin a nasantoan ti balitok?
You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?
18 Ken, 'Siasinoman nga agsapata iti altar ket awan mamaay ti sapatana. Ngem siasinoman nga agsapata babaen iti sagut nga adda iti dayta ket maigalut isuna iti dayta a karina,
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 Dakayo a bulsek a tattao, ania aya ti napatpateg, ti sagut, wenno ti altar a mamagbalin a nasantoan ti sagut?
You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?
20 Ngarud, siasinoman nga agsapata babaen iti altar ket agsapata babaen iti daytoy ken babaen kadagiti amin a banbanag a nakaparabaw iti daytoy.
So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21 Ken siasinoman nga agsapata babaen iti templo, agsapata babaen iti daytoy ken babaen kenkuana nga agnanaed iti daytoy.
And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.
22 Ken siasinoman nga agsapata babaen iti langit ket agsapata babaen iti trono ti Dios ken babaen kenkuana nga agtugtugaw iti daytoy.
And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.
23 Asikayo pay, dakayo nga eskriba ken Pariseo, managinsisingpetkayo! Ta mangtedkayo iti apagkapullo ti inmulayo a yerbabuena, anis, ken kumino, ngem binaybay-anyo a saan a nalpas dagiti nadagdagsen a banbanag a maipapan iti linteg- hustisia, asi, ken pammati. Ngem dagitoy ket rebbbeng koma a naaramidyo, ken saanyo koma a pinanawan a saan a nalpas ti sabali.
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 Dakayo a bulsek a mangidaldalan, dakayo a mangsagat iti ngilaw ngem alun-unenyo ti kamelio!
You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 Asikayo pay, dakayo nga eskriba ken Pariseo, managinsisingpetkayo! Ta dalusanyo ti ruar ti baso ken ti pinggan ngem iti uneg napunno dagitoy iti kinaagum ken kinalabes.
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 Dakayo a bulsek a Pariseo, dalusanyo nga umuna ti uneg ti baso ken pinggan, tapno agbalin met a nadalus iti ruar.
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.
27 Asikayo pay, dakayo nga eskriba ken Pariseo, managinsisingpetkayo! Ta maiyarigkayo kadagiti tanem a napintoran iti puraw, a napintas iti ruarna ngem iti unegna ket napno iti tulang ti natay a tattao ken amin a banag a narugit.
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 Kasta met kadakayo, kasla kayla nalinteg iti panagkita dagiti tattao, ngem iti kaungganyo ket napno iti panaginsisingpet ken basol.
In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29 Asikayo pay, dakayo nga eskriba ken Pariseo, managinsisingpetkayo! Ta yaramidanyo iti tanem dagiti profeta ken ar-arkusanyo dagiti tanem dagiti nalinteg.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.
30 Kunayo, 'No addakami koma idin a sibibiag kadagiti aldaw dagiti am-ammami, saankami koma a nakiraman kadakuada iti pannakaiparukpok iti dara dagiti profeta.'
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 Ngarud, dakayo ti mangpaneknek a dakayo ket annak dagidiay nangpapatay kadagiti profeta.
So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
32 Punnoenyo pay ti rukod dagiti amaenyo.
Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.
33 Dakayo nga uleg, dakayo a kaputotan dagiti karasaen, kasano a malibasanyo ti panangukom ti impierno? (Geenna g1067)
You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Ngarud, kitaenyo, nangibaonak kadakayo kadagiti profeta, mamasirib a lallaki, ken kadagiti eskriba. Dadduma kadakuada ket papatayenyo ken ilansayo iti krus. Ken saplitenyonto dagiti dadduma kadakuada kadagiti sinagogayo ken kamatenyonto ida iti inilin-ili.
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 Ti pagbanaganna ket maipabaklay kadakayo amin a pannakaiparukpok ti dara iti daga, manipud iti dara ni Abel a nalinteg agingga iti dara ni Zacarias a putot a lalaki ni Barakias, a pinatayyo iti nagbaetan ti santuario ken altar.
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 Pudno, ibagak kadakayo, mapasamakto amin dagitoy a banbanag iti daytoy a henerasion.
Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, sika a nangpapatay kadagiti profeta ken nangbato kadagidiay naibaon kenka! Namin-anon a daras a kayatko nga ummongen dagiti annakmo, kas iti panangsalikepkep ti maysa nga upa kadagiti piyyekna, ngem saanyo a kayat!
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 Makitayo, naibati kadakayo ti balayyo nga awan ti aggigian.
Look, your house is left to you desolate.
39 Ta ibagak kadakayo, saandakto a Makita agingga nga ibagayo, ‘Nabendisionan isuna nga umay iti nagan ti Apo.’”
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.’”
