1 Yesuusis ergasii uummataa fi barattoota isaatiin akkana jedhe:
Then spake Iesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 “Barsiistonni seeraatii fi Fariisonni barcuma Musee irra taaʼaniiru.
Saying, The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.
3 Kanaafuu waan isaan isinitti himan hundumaa godhaa; eegaas. Garuu waan isaan hojjetan hin hojjetinaa; isaan ni dubbatu malee waan dubbatan sana hin hojjetaniitii.
All therefore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and doe: but after their workes doe not: for they say, and doe not.
4 Isaan baʼaa ulfaataa hidhanii gatiittii namaa irra kaaʼu; ofii isaaniitii garuu baʼaa sana sochoosuuf qubaan illee tuquu hin barbaadan.
For they binde heauie burdens, and grieuous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders, but they themselues will not moue them with one of their fingers.
5 “Isaan waan hojjetan hundumaa namootatti of argisiisuuf hojjetu: Kudhaama isaanii ni balʼifatuutii; handaara uffata isaaniis ni dheereffatu.
All their workes they doe for to be seene of men: for they make their phylacteries broad, and make long the frindges of their garments,
6 Iddoo cidhaatti iddoo ulfinaa, manneen sagadaa keessatti immoo taaʼumsa ulfinaa jaallatu.
And loue the chiefe place at feastes, and to haue the chiefe seates in the assemblies,
7 Gabaa keessattis akka namoonni nagaa isaan gaafatanii fi akka ‘Yaa barsiisaa’ jedhanii isaan waaman jaallatu.
And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 “Isin garuu, ‘Barsiisaa’ jedhamtanii hin waamaminaa; Barsiisaa tokko qofa qabduutii. Isin hundis obboloota walii keessanii ti.
But be not ye called, Rabbi: for one is your doctour, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren.
9 Lafa irratti nama tokkoon illee ‘Abbaa’ hin jedhinaa; isin Abbaa tokko qofa qabduutii; innis isa samii irraa ti.
And call no man your father vpon the earth: for there is but one, your father which is in heauen.
10 ‘Gooftota’ jedhamtanii hin waamaminaa; isin Gooftaa tokko qofa qabduutii; innis Kiristoos.
Be not called doctours: for one is your doctour, euen Christ.
11 Isin keessaa namni hunda keessan caalu tajaajilaa keessan haa taʼu.
But he that is greatest among you, let him be your seruant.
12 Namni ol of qabu kam iyyuu gad qabamaatii; namni gad of qabu kam iyyuu garuu ol qabama.
For whosoeuer will exalt himselfe, shall be brought lowe: and whosoeuer will humble himselfe, shalbe exalted.
13 “Yaa barsiistota seeraatii fi Fariisota fakkeessitoota nana, isiniif wayyoo! Isin mootummaa samii namoota duraa cuftuutii. Ofii keessanii hin seentan; warra seenuu yaalanis akka isaan seenan hin gootan. [
Wo therefore be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites, because ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men: for ye your selues go not in, neither suffer ye them that would enter, to come in.
14 Yaa barsiistota seeraatii fi Fariisota fakkeessitoota nana, isiniif wayyoo! Mana haadha hiyyeessaa saamtanii onsituutii; itti fakkeessuuf kadhannaa ni dheeressitu; kanaafuu murtii caalutu isinitti murama.]
Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers: wherefore ye shall receiue the greater damnation.
15 “Yaa barsiistota seeraatii fi Fariisota fakkeessitoota nana, isiniif wayyoo! Nama tokko amantii keessanitti galfachuuf jettanii lafaa fi galaana irra joortu; yommuu inni amanuttis akka inni isin caalaa dachaa lama ilma gahaannam taʼu isa gootu. (Geenna g1067)
Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye compasse sea and land to make one of your profession: and when he is made, ye make him two folde more the childe of hell, then you your selues. (Geenna g1067)
16 “Qajeelchitoota jaamota nana, isiniif wayyoo! Isin, ‘Namni kam iyyuu yoo mana qulqullummaatiin kakate, kun homaa miti; namni kam iyyuu yoo warqee mana qulqullummaatiin kakate garuu kakuun sun isa qaba’ jettu.
Wo be vnto you blinde guides, which say, Whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the Temple, he offendeth.
17 Isin gowwootaa fi jaamota nana, warqee moo mana qulqullummaa kan warqee sana qulqulleessutu caala?
Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the golde, or the Temple that sanctifieth the golde?
18 Akkasumas isin, ‘Namni kam iyyuu yoo iddoo aarsaatiin kakate, kun homaa miti; yoo kennaa iddoo aarsaa irra jiru sanaan kakate garuu kakuun sun isa qaba’ jettu.
And whosoeuer sweareth by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the offering that is vpon it, offendeth.
19 Isin jaamota nana, kennaa sana moo iddoo aarsaa isa kennaa sana qulqulleessutu caala?
Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering?
20 Kanaafuu namni iddoo aarsaatiin kakatu, iddoo aarsaatii fi waan isa irra jiru hundumaan ni kakata.
Whosoeuer therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 Namni mana qulqullummaatiin kakatu, mana qulqullummaatii fi isa mana qulqullummaa keessa jiraatuun kakata.
And whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 Namni samiidhaan kakatu, teessoo Waaqaatii fi isa teessoo sana irra taaʼuun kakata.
And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23 “Yaa barsiistota seeraatii fi Fariisota fakkeessitoota nana, isiniif wayyoo! Isin abasuuda, insilaalaa fi kamuunii kudhan keessaa tokko ni kennitu. Garuu seera keessaa waan caalaatti barbaachisaa taʼe jechuunis murtii qajeelaa, araaraa fi amanamummaa dhiiftaniirtu. Silaa utuu isa duraa hin dhiisin isa duubaa hojii irra oolchuu qabdu ture.
Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye tithe mynt, and annyse, and cummyn, and leaue the weightier matters of the law, as iudgement, and mercy and fidelitie. These ought ye to haue done, and not to haue left the other.
24 Isin qajeelchitoota jaamota nana! Bookee ni calaltu; gaala immoo ni liqimsitu.
Ye blinde guides, which straine out a gnat, and swallowe a camell.
25 “Yaa barsiistota seeraatii fi Fariisota fakkeessitoota nana, isiniif wayyoo! Duuba xoofootii fi caabii ni qulqulleessitu; keessi isaanii garuu saamichaa fi ofittummaadhaan guutameera.
Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye make cleane the vtter side of the cup, and of the platter: but within they are ful of briberie and excesse.
26 Yaa Fariisicha jaamaa nana! Jalqabatti keessa xoofootii fi caabii qulqulleessi; ergasii duubni isaas ni qulqullaaʼaa.
Thou blinde Pharise, cleanse first the inside of the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be cleane also.
27 “Yaa barsiistota seeraatii fi Fariisota fakkeessitoota nana, isiniif wayyoo! Isin akkuma awwaala nooraa dibame kan duubni isaa bareedaa fakkaatee keessi isaa immoo lafee namoota duʼaniitiin, xuraaʼummaa hundaanis guutamee ti.
Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are like vnto whited tombes, which appeare beautifull outward, but are within full of dead mens bones, and all filthines.
28 Isinis akkasuma duubaan qajeeltota fakkaattanii namootatti mulʼattu; keessi keessan garuu fakkeessuu fi hamminaan guutameera.
So are ye also: for outwarde ye appeare righteous vnto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisie and iniquitie.
29 “Yaa barsiistota seeraatii fi Fariisota fakkeessitoota nana, isiniif wayyoo! Isin raajotaaf awwaala ijaartuutii; soodduu qajeeltotaas ni bareechitu.
Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye build the tombes of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 Isin, ‘Nu utuu bara abbootii keenyaa sana jiraannee silaa dhiiga raajotaa dhangalaasuu keessatti isaan wajjin hin hirmaannu ture’ jettu.
And say, If we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we would not haue bene partners with them in the blood of the Prophets.
31 Kanaafuu isin akka sanyii warra raajota ajjeesan sanaa taatan ofuma keessanitti dhugaa baatu.
So then ye be witnesses vnto your selues, that ye are the children of them that murthered the Prophets.
32 Egaa safartuu cubbuu abbootii keessanii guutaa!
Fulfill ye also ye measure of your fathers.
33 “Bofoota nana! Ijoollee buutii nana! Isin akkamitti murtii gahaannam jalaa baʼuu dandeessu? (Geenna g1067)
O serpents, the generation of vipers, howe should ye escape the damnation of hell! (Geenna g1067)
34 Kanaafuu, kunoo ani raajotaa fi ogeeyyii, barsiistotas gara keessanitti nan erga. Isinis isaan keessaa gartokko ni ajjeeftu; ni fanniftu; warra kaan immoo manneen sagadaa keessan keessatti garaftu; magaalaa tokko irraa gara magaalaa biraattis isaan ariitu.
Wherefore beholde, I send vnto you Prophets, and wise men, and Scribes, and of them ye shall kill and crucifie: and of them shall ye scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from citie to citie,
35 Kanaaf dhiiga Abeel nama qajeelaa sanaatii jalqabee hamma dhiiga Zakkaariyaas ilma Baraakiyuu isa isin mana qulqullummaatii fi iddoo aarsaa gidduutti ajjeeftaniitti, dhiiga qulqulluu lafatti dhangalaafame hundumatti ni gaafatamtu.
That vpon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed vpon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, vnto the blood of Zacharias the sonne of Barachias, whome ye slewe betweene the Temple and the altar.
36 Ani dhuguma isinittin hima; kun hundinuu dhaloota kanatti ni dhufa.
Verely I say vnto you, all these things shall come vpon this generation.
37 “Yaa Yerusaalem, yaa Yerusaalem, ati kan raajota ajjeeftu, warra gara keetti ergamanis kan dhagaadhaan tumtu, akkuma indaanqoon cuucii ishee qoochoo ishee jalatti walitti qabattu sana anis ijoollee kee walitti qabuuf yeroo meeqan hawwe! Isin garuu hin barbaanne.
Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent to thee, how often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her chickins vnder her wings, and ye would not!
38 Kunoo, manni keessan onee isinii hafa.
Beholde, your habitation shalbe left vnto you desolate,
39 Ani isinittin himaatii; isin hamma, ‘Inni maqaa Gooftaatiin dhufu sun eebbifamaa dha’ jettanitti lammata na hin argitan.”
For I say vnto you, ye shall not see mee henceforth till that ye say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
