< مَتھِح 23 >
| اَنَنْتَرَں یِیشُ رْجَنَنِوَہَں شِشْیاںشْچاوَدَتْ، | 1 |
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:
| اَدھْیاپَکاح پھِرُوشِنَشْچَ مُوساسَنے اُپَوِشَنْتِ، | 2 |
“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
| اَتَسْتے یُشْمانْ یَدْیَتْ مَنْتُمْ آجْناپَیَنْتِ، تَتْ مَنْیَدھْوَں پالَیَدھْوَنْچَ، کِنْتُ تیشاں کَرْمّانُرُوپَں کَرْمَّ نَ کُرُدھْوَں؛ یَتَسْتیشاں واکْیَماتْرَں سارَں کارْیّے کِمَپِ ناسْتِ۔ | 3 |
So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
| تے دُرْوَّہانْ گُرُتَرانْ بھارانْ بَدْوّا مَنُشْیاناں سْکَنْدھیپَرِ سَمَرْپَیَنْتِ، کِنْتُ سْوَیَمَنْگُلْیَیکَیاپِ نَ چالَیَنْتِ۔ | 4 |
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.
| کیوَلَں لوکَدَرْشَنایَ سَرْوَّکَرْمّانِ کُرْوَّنْتِ؛ پھَلَتَح پَٹَّبَنْدھانْ پْرَسارْیَّ دھارَیَنْتِ، سْوَوَسْتْریشُ چَ دِیرْگھَگْرَنْتھِینْ دھارَیَنْتِ؛ | 5 |
All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
| بھوجَنَبھَوَنَ اُچَّسْتھانَں، بھَجَنَبھَوَنے پْرَدھانَماسَنَں، | 6 |
They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,
| ہَٹّھے نَمَسْکارَں گُرُرِتِ سَمْبودھَنَنْچَیتانِ سَرْوّانِ وانْچھَنْتِ۔ | 7 |
the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
| کِنْتُ یُویَں گُرَوَ اِتِ سَمْبودھَنِییا ما بھَوَتَ، یَتو یُشْماکَمْ ایکَح کھْرِیشْٹَایوَ گُرُ | 8 |
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
| رْیُویَں سَرْوّے مِتھو بھْراتَرَشْچَ۔ پُنَح پرِتھِوْیاں کَمَپِ پِتیتِ ما سَمْبُدھْیَدھْوَں، یَتو یُشْماکَمیکَح سْوَرْگَسْتھَایوَ پِتا۔ | 9 |
And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
| یُویَں نایَکیتِ سَمْبھاشِتا ما بھَوَتَ، یَتو یُشْماکَمیکَح کھْرِیشْٹَایوَ نایَکَح۔ | 10 |
Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.
| اَپَرَں یُشْماکَں مَدھْیے یَح پُمانْ شْریشْٹھَح سَ یُشْمانْ سیوِشْیَتے۔ | 11 |
The greatest among you shall be your servant.
| یَتو یَح سْوَمُنَّمَتِ، سَ نَتَح کَرِشْیَتے؛ کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَمَوَنَتَں کَروتِ، سَ اُنَّتَح کَرِشْیَتے۔ | 12 |
For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
| ہَنْتَ کَپَٹِنَ اُپادھْیایاح پھِرُوشِنَشْچَ، یُویَں مَنُجاناں سَمَکْشَں سْوَرْگَدْوارَں رُنْدھَ، یُویَں سْوَیَں تینَ نَ پْرَوِشَتھَ، پْرَوِوِکْشُونَپِ وارَیَتھَ۔ وَتَ کَپَٹِنَ اُپادھْیایاح پھِرُوشِنَشْچَ یُویَں چھَلادْ دِیرْگھَں پْرارْتھْیَ وِدھَواناں سَرْوَّسْوَں گْرَسَتھَ، یُشْماکَں گھورَتَرَدَنْڈو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 13 |
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.
| ہَنْتَ کَپَٹِنَ اُپادھْیایاح پھِرُوشِنَشْچَ، یُویَمیکَں سْوَدھَرْمّاوَلَمْبِنَں کَرْتُّں ساگَرَں بھُومَنْڈَلَنْچَ پْرَدَکْشِنِیکُرُتھَ، | 14 |
| کَنْچَنَ پْراپْیَ سْوَتو دْوِگُنَنَرَکَبھاجَنَں تَں کُرُتھَ۔ (Geenna ) | 15 |
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 )
| وَتَ اَنْدھَپَتھَدَرْشَکاح سَرْوّے، یُویَں وَدَتھَ، مَنْدِرَسْیَ شَپَتھَکَرَناتْ کِمَپِ نَ دییَں؛ کِنْتُ مَنْدِرَسْتھَسُوَرْنَسْیَ شَپَتھَکَرَنادْ دییَں۔ | 16 |
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.’
| ہے مُوڈھا ہے اَنْدھاح سُوَرْنَں تَتْسُوَرْنَپاوَکَمَنْدِرَمْ ایتَیورُبھَیو رْمَدھْیے کِں شْرییَح؟ | 17 |
You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?
| اَنْیَچَّ وَدَتھَ، یَجْنَویدْیاح شَپَتھَکَرَناتْ کِمَپِ نَ دییَں، کِنْتُ تَدُپَرِسْتھِتَسْیَ نَیویدْیَسْیَ شَپَتھَکَرَنادْ دییَں۔ | 18 |
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.’
| ہے مُوڈھا ہے اَنْدھاح، نَیویدْیَں تَنَّیویدْیَپاوَکَویدِریتَیورُبھَیو رْمَدھْیے کِں شْرییَح؟ | 19 |
You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?
| اَتَح کینَچِدْ یَجْنَویدْیاح شَپَتھے کرِتے تَدُپَرِسْتھَسْیَ سَرْوَّسْیَ شَپَتھَح کْرِیَتے۔ | 20 |
So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
| کینَچِتْ مَنْدِرَسْیَ شَپَتھے کرِتے مَنْدِرَتَنِّواسِنوح شَپَتھَح کْرِیَتے۔ | 21 |
And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.
| کینَچِتْ سْوَرْگَسْیَ شَپَتھے کرِتے اِیشْوَرِییَسِںہاسَنَتَدُپَرْیُّپَوِشْٹَیوح شَپَتھَح کْرِیَتے۔ | 22 |
And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.
| ہَنْتَ کَپَٹِنَ اُپادھْیایاح پھِرُوشِنَشْچَ، یُویَں پودِنایاح سِتَچّھَتْرایا جِیرَکَسْیَ چَ دَشَماںشانْ دَتّھَ، کِنْتُ وْیَوَسْتھایا گُرُتَرانْ نْیایَدَیاوِشْواسانْ پَرِتْیَجَتھَ؛ اِمے یُشْمابھِراچَرَنِییا اَمِی چَ نَ لَںگھَنِییاح۔ | 23 |
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.
| ہے اَنْدھَپَتھَدَرْشَکا یُویَں مَشَکانْ اَپَسارَیَتھَ، کِنْتُ مَہانْگانْ گْرَسَتھَ۔ | 24 |
You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
| ہَنْتَ کَپَٹِنَ اُپادھْیایاح پھِرُوشِنَشْچَ، یُویَں پانَپاتْراناں بھوجَنَپاتْرانانْچَ بَہِح پَرِشْکُرُتھَ؛ کِنْتُ تَدَبھْیَنْتَرَں دُراتْمَتَیا کَلُشینَ چَ پَرِپُورْنَماسْتے۔ | 25 |
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.
| ہے اَنْدھاح پھِرُوشِلوکا آدَو پانَپاتْراناں بھوجَنَپاتْرانانْچابھْیَنْتَرَں پَرِشْکُرُتَ، تینَ تیشاں بَہِرَپِ پَرِشْکارِشْیَتے۔ | 26 |
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.
| ہَنْتَ کَپَٹِنَ اُپادھْیایاح پھِرُوشِنَشْچَ، یُویَں شُکْلِیکرِتَشْمَشانَسْوَرُوپا بھَوَتھَ، یَتھا شْمَشانَبھَوَنَسْیَ بَہِشْچارُ، کِنْتْوَبھْیَنْتَرَں مرِتَلوکاناں کِیکَشَیح سَرْوَّپْرَکارَمَلینَ چَ پَرِپُورْنَمْ؛ | 27 |
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.
| تَتھَیوَ یُویَمَپِ لوکاناں سَمَکْشَں بَہِرْدھارْمِّکاح کِنْتْوَنْتَحکَرَنیشُ کیوَلَکاپَٹْیادھَرْمّابھْیاں پَرِپُورْناح۔ | 28 |
In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
| ہا ہا کَپَٹِنَ اُپادھْیایاح پھِرُوشِنَشْچَ، یُویَں بھَوِشْیَدْوادِناں شْمَشانَگیہَں نِرْمّاتھَ، سادھُوناں شْمَشانَنِکیتَنَں شوبھَیَتھَ | 29 |
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.
| وَدَتھَ چَ یَدِ وَیَں سْویشاں پُورْوَّپُرُشاناں کالَ اَسْتھاسْیامَ، تَرْہِ بھَوِشْیَدْوادِناں شونِتَپاتَنے تیشاں سَہَبھاگِنو نابھَوِشْیامَ۔ | 30 |
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.’
| اَتو یُویَں بھَوِشْیَدْوادِگھاتَکاناں سَنْتانا اِتِ سْوَیَمیوَ سْویشاں ساکْشْیَں دَتّھَ۔ | 31 |
So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
| اَتو یُویَں نِجَپُورْوَّپُرُشاناں پَرِمانَپاتْرَں پَرِپُورَیَتَ۔ | 32 |
Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.
| رے بھُجَگاح کرِشْنَبھُجَگَوَںشاح، یُویَں کَتھَں نَرَکَدَنْڈادْ رَکْشِشْیَدھْوے۔ (Geenna ) | 33 |
You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell? (Geenna )
| پَشْیَتَ، یُشْماکَمَنْتِکَمْ اَہَں بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنو بُدّھِمَتَ اُپادھْیایاںشْچَ پْریشَیِشْیامِ، کِنْتُ تیشاں کَتِپَیا یُشْمابھِ رْگھانِشْیَنْتے، کْرُشے چَ گھانِشْیَنْتے، کیچِدْ بھَجَنَبھَوَنے کَشابھِراگھانِشْیَنْتے، نَگَرے نَگَرے تاڈِشْیَنْتے چَ؛ | 34 |
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.
| تینَ سَتْپُرُشَسْیَ ہابِلو رَکْتَپاتَمارَبھْیَ بیرِکھِیَح پُتْرَں یَں سِکھَرِیَں یُویَں مَنْدِرَیَجْنَویدْیو رْمَدھْیے ہَتَوَنْتَح، تَدِییَشونِتَپاتَں یاوَدْ اَسْمِنْ دیشے یاوَتاں سادھُپُرُشاناں شونِتَپاتو بھَوَتْ تَتْ سَرْوّیشاماگَساں دَنْڈا یُشْماسُ وَرْتِّشْیَنْتے۔ | 35 |
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.
| اَہَں یُشْمانْتَ تَتھْیَں وَدامِ، وِدْیَمانےسْمِنْ پُرُشے سَرْوّے وَرْتِّشْیَنْتے۔ | 36 |
Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.

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!
| پَشْیَتَ یَشْماکَں واسَسْتھانَمْ اُچّھِنَّں تْیَکْشْیَتے۔ | 38 |
Look, your house is left to you desolate.

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.’”
