Maatewos 23
1 Yesuusis ergasii uummataa fi barattoota isaatiin akkana jedhe:
Then spake Yahushua to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 “Barsiistonni seeraatii fi Fariisonni barcuma Musee irra taaʼaniiru.
Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
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 whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4 Isaan baʼaa ulfaataa hidhanii gatiittii namaa irra kaaʼu; ofii isaaniitii garuu baʼaa sana sochoosuuf qubaan illee tuquu hin barbaadan.
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5 “Isaan waan hojjetan hundumaa namootatti of argisiisuuf hojjetu: Kudhaama isaanii ni balʼifatuutii; handaara uffata isaaniis ni dheereffatu.
But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6 Iddoo cidhaatti iddoo ulfinaa, manneen sagadaa keessatti immoo taaʼumsa ulfinaa jaallatu.
And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
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 Rabbi, even the Messiah; 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 upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10 ‘Gooftota’ jedhamtanii hin waamaminaa; isin Gooftaa tokko qofa qabduutii; innis Kiristoos.
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, even the Messiah.
11 Isin keessaa namni hunda keessan caalu tajaajilaa keessan haa taʼu.
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 Namni ol of qabu kam iyyuu gad qabamaatii; namni gad of qabu kam iyyuu garuu ol qabama.
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be 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. [
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go 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.]
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive 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)
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (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.
Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17 Isin gowwootaa fi jaamota nana, warqee moo mana qulqullummaa kan warqee sana qulqulleessutu caala?
Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
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, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 Isin jaamota nana, kennaa sana moo iddoo aarsaa isa kennaa sana qulqulleessutu caala?
Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Kanaafuu namni iddoo aarsaatiin kakatu, iddoo aarsaatii fi waan isa irra jiru hundumaan ni kakata.
Whoso therefore shall swear 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 whoso shall swear 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 shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of Elohim, 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.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24 Isin qajeelchitoota jaamota nana! Bookee ni calaltu; gaala immoo ni liqimsitu.
Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 “Yaa barsiistota seeraatii fi Fariisota fakkeessitoota nana, isiniif wayyoo! Duuba xoofootii fi caabii ni qulqulleessitu; keessi isaanii garuu saamichaa fi ofittummaadhaan guutameera.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Yaa Fariisicha jaamaa nana! Jalqabatti keessa xoofootii fi caabii qulqulleessi; ergasii duubni isaas ni qulqullaaʼaa.
Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean 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.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Isinis akkasuma duubaan qajeeltota fakkaattanii namootatti mulʼattu; keessi keessan garuu fakkeessuu fi hamminaan guutameera.
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 “Yaa barsiistota seeraatii fi Fariisota fakkeessitoota nana, isiniif wayyoo! Isin raajotaaf awwaala ijaartuutii; soodduu qajeeltotaas ni bareechitu.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs 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 been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Kanaafuu isin akka sanyii warra raajota ajjeesan sanaa taatan ofuma keessanitti dhugaa baatu.
Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Egaa safartuu cubbuu abbootii keessanii guutaa!
Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 “Bofoota nana! Ijoollee buutii nana! Isin akkamitti murtii gahaannam jalaa baʼuu dandeessu? (Geenna g1067)
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can 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, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
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 upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Ani dhuguma isinittin hima; kun hundinuu dhaloota kanatti ni dhufa.
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon 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.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Kunoo, manni keessan onee isinii hafa.
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 Ani isinittin himaatii; isin hamma, ‘Inni maqaa Gooftaatiin dhufu sun eebbifamaa dha’ jettanitti lammata na hin argitan.”
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of YHWH.
