Matta 23
1 Bu sɵzlǝrdin keyin, Əysa top-top halayiⱪⱪa wǝ muhlisliriƣa mundaⱪ dedi:
Then Jesus said to the crowd and to us his disciples,
2 — Tǝwrat ustazliri wǝ Pǝrisiylǝr Musa pǝyƣǝmbǝrning [ⱨɵküm qiⱪirix] ornida olturƣan bolidu.
“Moses was the [renowned] teacher who taught [the people the laws that God gave him] [MTY]. Now, the Pharisees and the men who teach our [Jewish] laws have made themselves the ones who interpret those laws [IDM].
3 Xunga, ularning silǝrgǝ eytⱪan ⱨǝmmǝ sɵzlirigǝ kɵngül ⱪoyup, degǝnlirini ⱪilinglar. Lekin ularning ⱪilƣanliridǝk ⱪilmanglar; qünki ular ɵzlirining deginigǝ ɵzliri ǝmǝl ⱪilmaydu,
Consequently, you should do whatever they tell you that you must do. But do not do what they do, because they themselves do not do what they tell [you that you must do].
4 Bǝlki ular kɵtürǝlmigüdǝk eƣir yüklǝrni baƣlap adǝmlǝrning zimmisigǝ artip ⱪoyidu. Əmma ɵzliri bu yüklǝrni kɵtürüxkǝ birmu barmiⱪini midirlitixni huxyaⱪmaydu.
They [require you to obey many rules that are difficult to obey]. But they themselves [do not help anyone obey those rules. It is] as if they are tying up loads that are hard to carry and putting them on your shoulders [MET] [for you to carry. But they] themselves [do not desire to help anyone obey those laws. They are like] people who do not want to lift [even the slightest load] that they [could lift] [MET]
5 Ular ⱨǝmmǝ ǝmǝllirini insanlarƣa kɵz-kɵz ⱪilix üqünla ⱪilidu; qünki ular «ayǝt ⱪapliri»ni kǝng ⱪilip qigiwelip, tonlirining quqilirini uzun sanggilitip ⱪoyidu;
[with] one finger. Whatever they do, they do it to be seen by other people {so that other people will see them doing that}. [For example], they make extra wide the tiny boxes containing portions of Scripture that they wear on their arms. They enlarge the tassels on their robes, [to make others think that they are pious].
6 ular ziyapǝtlǝrdǝ tɵrdǝ, sinagoglarda aldinⱪi orunlarda olturuxⱪa,
[They want people to honor them. For example], at dinner parties they sit in the seats where the most important people sit. In the places of worship [they want to sit] in the seats where the most honored people sit.
7 bazarlarda kixilǝrning ularƣa bolƣan [uzun] salamliriƣa wǝ ɵzlirini «Ustaz, ustaz» dǝp ataxliriƣa amraⱪ kelidu.
Also, [they want people to] greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces and to honor them by calling them ‘Teacher’.
8 Biraⱪ silǝr bolsanglar «Ustaz» dǝp atilixni ⱪobul ⱪilmanglar; qünki silǝrning yalƣuz birla ustazinglar bar wǝ ⱨǝmminglar ⱪerindaxtursilǝr.
But you [who are my disciples] should not allow people to address you [honorably] as ‘Rabbi’, [which means ‘teacher]’. I [am the] only one who is [really] your teacher, which means that you are all [equal, like] brothers and sisters, [and none of you should act superior to another, as the Pharisees do].
9 Yǝr yüzidǝ ⱨeqⱪandaⱪ kixini «Atam» demǝnglar, qünki pǝⱪǝt birla Atanglar, yǝni ǝrxtǝ Turƣuqi bardur.
Do not [honor anyone] on earth [by] addressing him as ‘Father’, because God, your Father in heaven, is the only [spiritual] father of all of you.
10 Silǝr «muǝllim» dǝp atilixnimu ⱪobul ⱪilmanglar, qünki pǝⱪǝt birla muǝllim, yǝni Mǝsiⱨning ɵzi bardur;
Do not [allow people to] call you ‘Instructors’, because I, the Messiah, am the one instructor who [teaches all of] you.
11 bǝlki aranglarda ǝng mǝrtiwilik bolƣan kixi silǝrning hizmitinglarda bolidu.
In contrast, everyone among you who wants [God to consider them] to be important must serve others as servants do.
12 Ɵzini yuⱪiri tutmaⱪqi bolƣini tɵwǝn ⱪilinidu, ɵzini tɵwǝn tutⱪini yuⱪiri ⱪilinidu.
[God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
13 Biraⱪ ⱨalinglarƣa way, ǝy Tǝwrat ustazliri wǝ Pǝrisiylǝr, sahtipǝzlǝr! Silǝr ǝrx padixaⱨliⱪining ixikini insanlarƣa taⱪap keliwatisilǝr! Ya ɵzünglar kirmǝysilǝr, ya kirixni istigǝnlǝrning kirixigǝ yol ⱪoymaysilǝr.
[Then Jesus said to the religious leaders], “You men who teach the [Jewish] laws and you Pharisees are hypocrites! There will be terrible punishment for [you, because by teaching what is false], you [prevent people] [MTY/HYP] [who are thinking about letting] God rule their lives [from doing that] [MET]. [What you are doing is like] closing a gate [MET] [so that people who] are wanting to enter [a city cannot go in]. As for you, [you do not let] God [rule your lives. Neither do you allow] other people [to let God rule their lives. What you do is like] not going into a [house] yourselves, and not allowing others to enter it [either] [MET].”
14 Ⱨalinglarƣa way, ǝy Tǝwrat ustazliri wǝ Pǝrisiylǝr, sahtipǝzlǝr! Silǝr tul ayallarning mal-dunyasini yǝwatisilǝr, xundaⱪtimu baxⱪilar aldida tǝⱪwadar kɵrünsǝk dǝp, uzundin-uzun dua ⱪilisilǝr. Xunga, silǝr tehimu eƣir jazaƣa tartilisilǝr.
15 Ⱨalinglarƣa way, ǝy Tǝwrat ustazliri wǝ Pǝrisiylǝr, sahtipǝzlǝr! Silǝr birla adǝmni etiⱪadinglarƣa kirgüzüx üqün, dengiz wǝ ⱪuruⱪluⱪni kezip qiⱪisilǝr. Biraⱪ u kixi kirgüzülgǝndin keyin, silǝr uni ɵzliringlardin ikki ⱨǝssǝ bǝttǝr bolƣan dozahning pǝrzǝnti ⱪilip yetixtürüp qiⱪisilǝr. (Geenna g1067)
“You are hypocrites, you men who teach the [Jewish] laws and you Pharisees! Your punishment will be terrible, because you exert yourselves very much to get [even] one person to believe what you teach. For instance, you travel across seas and lands [to distant places] in order to do that. And [as a result], when one person [believes what you teach], you make that person much more deserving to go to hell than you yourselves [deserve to].” (Geenna g1067)
16 Ⱨalinglarƣa way, ǝy ⱪariƣu yolbaxqilar! Silǝr: «Ⱨǝrⱪandaⱪ kixi ibadǝthana bilǝn ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilsa, ⱨeqnemisi yoⱪ, biraⱪ ibadǝthanidiki altunni tilƣa elip ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilƣanlar ⱪǝsimidǝ turuxⱪa ⱪǝrzdar bolidu» dǝysilǝr.
“You [Jewish leaders], your punishment will be terrible! You are [like people who are] blind [MET] who are trying to lead others. You say, ‘[In the case of] those who promise to [do] something and then ask the Temple [to affirm what they have promised], it means nothing [if they do not do what] they have promised. But if they ask the gold that is in the Temple [to affirm what they have promised], they must do what they promised.’
17 Əy ǝhmǝⱪlǝr, korlar! Altun uluƣmu yaki altunni muⱪǝddǝs ⱪilƣan ibadǝthanimu?
You are fools, and you are [like people who are] blind [MET]! The gold [that is in the Temple] is important, but [the Temple] is even more important [RHQ], because it is the Temple that the gold is in that sets the gold apart for a special use for God.
18 Silǝr yǝnǝ: «Ⱨǝrkim ⱪurbangaⱨ bilǝn ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilsa, ⱨeqnemisi yoⱪ, biraⱪ ⱪurbangaⱨ üstidiki ⱨǝdiyǝni tilƣa elip ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilƣanlar ⱪǝsimidǝ turuxⱪa ⱪǝrzdar bolidu» dǝysilǝr.
Also [you say], ‘In the case of those who promise to [do] something and then ask [the altar to affirm what they have promised], it means nothing [if they do not do what they have promised]. But if they ask the gift [that] they have put on the altar [to support what they have promised], they must do [what they promised].’
19 Əy korlar! Ⱨǝdiyǝ uluƣmu yaki ⱨǝdiyini muⱪǝddǝs ⱪilƣan ⱪurbangaⱨmu?
[You are like people who are] blind [MET]. The gift [that is offered] on the altar is important, but the altar is even more important [RHQ] because it is the altar on which the offering is offered that sets it apart for a special use for God.
20 Xunga, ⱪurbangaⱨni tilƣa elip ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilƣuqi bolsa ⱨǝm ⱪurbangaⱨ bilǝn ⱨǝm uning üstidiki barliⱪ nǝrsilǝr bilǝn ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilƣan bolidu.
So, those who promise to do something, and then ask the altar [to affirm what they have promised] are asking everything on the altar [to support what they promised].
21 Ibadǝthanini tilƣa elip ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilƣuqimu ⱨǝm ibadǝthanini, ⱨǝm «ibadǝthanida Turƣuqi»ni tilƣa elip ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilƣan bolidu.
Those who promise to do something, and then ask the Temple [to affirm what they promised], are asking that [God], to whom the Temple belongs, [will affirm what they have promised].
22 Ərxni tilƣa elip ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilƣuqi Hudaning tǝhti wǝ tǝhttǝ olturƣuqining nami bilǝn ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilƣan bolidu.
Those who promise to do something and then ask heaven [to affirm what they promised] are asking the throne of God and [God], who sits on that throne, [to affirm what they promised].”
23 Ⱨalinglarƣa way, ǝy Tǝwrat ustazliri wǝ Pǝrisiylǝr, sahtipǝzlǝr! Qünki silǝr ⱨǝtta yalpuz, arpibǝdiyan wǝ zirilǝrning ondin bir ülüxini ɵxrǝ ⱪilip Hudaƣa ataysilǝr-yu, biraⱪ Tǝwrat ⱪanunining tehimu wǝzinlik tǝrǝpliri bolƣan adalǝt, rǝⱨimdillik wǝ sadiⱪliⱪni etibarƣa ⱨeq almaysilǝr. Awwal muxu ixlarni orundixinglar kerǝk, andin xu ixlarnimu ada ⱪilmay ⱪoymasliⱪinglar kerǝk.
“You men who teach the [Jewish] laws and you Pharisees, your punishment will be terrible! You are hypocrites because, [even though] you give [to God] a tenth of [the herbs you produce, such as] mint, dill, and cummin, you do not [obey God’s] laws that are more important. [For example, you do not act] justly toward others, you do not act mercifully toward people, and you are not trustworthy. It is good to [give a tenth of your herbs] to God, but you should also [obey] these other [more important laws].
24 Əy ⱪariƣu yolbaxqilar! Silǝr [qinǝnglǝrdiki] paxini süzüp eliwetisilǝr, lekin birǝr tɵgini pütün peti yutuwetisilǝr!
You [leaders are like] blind people [who are trying to lead others. According to your laws you say that touching gnats and camels makes you unacceptable to God. What you are doing is like] straining a gnat [out of a jar of water so that you do not swallow it and thereby become unacceptable to God], and [at the same time] swallowing a camel [with the water] [MET]!”
25 Ⱨalinglarƣa way, ǝy Tǝwrat ustazliri wǝ Pǝrisiylǝr, sahtipǝzlǝr! Silǝr qinǝ-ⱪaqilarning texinila yuyup pakizliƣininglar bilǝn ularning iqi ⱨǝrtürlük ⱨerislik wǝ ixrǝtpǝrǝslikkǝ tolƣan.
“You men who teach people the [Jewish] laws and you Pharisees, your punishment will be terrible! You are hypocrites! You are greedy and selfish, but you [make yourselves appear holy. You are like] cups and plates that have been cleaned on the outside, but on the inside [they are very filthy].
26 Əy ⱪariƣu Pǝrisiy! Awwal qinǝ-ⱪaqining iqini pakla, xundaⱪta teximu pak bolidu!
You blind Pharisees! First you must [stop being greedy and selfish]. [Then you will be able to do what] is [righteous. That will be like] cleaning the inside of a cup first. Then when you clean [MET] the outside [of the cup], [the cup will truly be clean].”
27 Ⱨalinglarƣa way, ǝy Tǝwrat ustazliri wǝ Pǝrisiylǝr, sahtipǝzlǝr! Silǝr aⱪartip ⱪoyulƣan, sirti qirayliⱪ kɵrünidiƣan lekin iqi ɵlüklǝrning ustihanliri wǝ ⱨǝrhil napak nǝrsilǝrgǝ tolƣan ⱪǝbrilǝrgǝ ohxaysilǝr.
“You men who teach the [Jewish] laws and you Pharisees, your punishment will be terrible! You are hypocrites! You are like tombs [SIM] that are painted white [so that people can see them and avoid touching them]. The outside surfaces are beautiful, but inside they are full of dead people’s bones and filth.
28 Xuningdǝk texinglardin insanlarning aldida ⱨǝⱪⱪaniy adǝmlǝrdǝk kɵrünisilǝr, lekin iqinglar sahtipǝzlik wǝ itaǝtsizlik bilǝn tolƣan.
You are [like those tombs]. When people look at you, they think that you are righteous, but in your (inner beings/hearts) you are hypocrites and you disobey [God’s] commands.”
29 Ⱨalinglarƣa way, ǝy Tǝwrat ustazliri wǝ Pǝrisiylǝr, sahtipǝzlǝr! Qünki silǝr pǝyƣǝmbǝrlǝrning ⱪǝbrilirini yasap keliwatisilǝr, ⱨǝⱪⱪaniylarning mazarlirini bezǝp keliwatisilǝr
“You men who teach the [Jewish] laws and you Pharisees are hypocrites! Your punishment will be terrible! You rebuild the tombs of the [prophets whom others killed long ago]. You decorate the monuments [that honor] righteous [people].
30 wǝ silǝr: «Ata-bowilirimizning zamanida yaxiƣan bolsaⱪ iduⱪ, ularning pǝyƣǝmbǝrlǝrning ⱪenini tɵküxlirigǝ xerik bolmayttuⱪ» — dǝysilǝr.
You say, ‘If we had [lived] when our ancestors [MET] [lived], we would not have helped [MET] those who killed [MTY] the prophets.’
31 Xunga silǝr ɵz sɵzünglar bilǝn ɵzünglarning pǝyƣǝmbǝrlǝrni ɵltürgǝnlǝrning ǝwladliri ikǝnlikinglarƣa guwaⱨliⱪ bǝrdinglar.
Thus [you recognize that you should honor the prophets, but you disregard the word of God that other men whom God has sent teach you. In that way] you testify against yourselves that you are descendants and disciples [MET] of those who killed the prophets.
32 Undaⱪta, ata-bowiliringlar baxliƣan ⱪilmixlirini toluⱪlanglar!
You are as ready to murder people as [MET] your ancestors were!
33 Əy yilanlar! Zǝⱨǝrlik yilanlarning nǝsilliri! Dozah jazasidin ⱪandaⱪmu ⱪutulalarsilǝr? (Geenna g1067)
[You people are so wicked] You are [as dangerous as poisonous] snakes [DOU, MET]! (You [foolishly] think that you will escape being punished in hell!/Do you [foolishly] think that you will escape when [God] punishes [wicked people] in hell?) [RHQ] (Geenna g1067)
34 Xunga mana, silǝrgǝ pǝyƣǝmbǝrlǝr, danixmǝnlǝr wǝ alimlarni ǝwǝtip turimǝn. Silǝr ularning bǝzilirini krestlǝp ɵltürisilǝr, bǝzilirini sinagogliringlarda dǝrrigǝ basisilǝr, xǝⱨǝrdin xǝⱨǝrgǝ ⱪoƣlaysilǝr.
Take note that this is why I will send prophets, wise men, and other men who will teach you [my message]. You will kill some of them by nailing them to crosses, and you will kill some in other ways. You will whip some of them in the places where you worship, and [you will] chase them from city to city.
35 Xundaⱪ ⱪilip, ⱨǝⱪⱪaniy Ⱨabilning ⱪan ⱪǝrzidin tartip taki silǝr ibadǝthanidiki muⱪǝddǝs jay bilǝn ⱪurbangaⱨning ariliⱪida ɵltürgǝn Bǝrǝkiyaning oƣli Zǝkǝriyaning ⱪan ⱪǝrzigiqǝ, ⱨǝⱪⱪaniylarning yǝr yüzidǝ eⱪitilƣan barliⱪ ⱪan ⱪǝrzliri bu dǝwrning bexiƣa qüxürülidu.
As a result, God will consider that you are guilty for killing [SYN] all the righteous [people], including killing [MTY] [Adam’s son] Abel, who was a righteous man [SYN], and Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, whom you [are guilty of] killing [in the holy place] between the Temple and the altar, and for killing [all the prophets] who lived between [the times that those two men lived].
36 Mǝn silǝrgǝ bǝrⱨǝⱪ xuni eytip ⱪoyayki, xu ⱪilmixlarning jazasining ⱨǝmmisi muxu dǝwrning bexiƣa qüxidu.
Think about this: You people who have observed my ministry, it is you whom [God] will punish [for killing all] those [prophets]!”
37 Əy Yerusalem, Yerusalem! Pǝyƣǝmbǝrlǝrni ɵltüridiƣan, ɵzigǝ ǝwǝtilgǝn ǝlqilǝrni qalma-kesǝk ⱪilidiƣan xǝⱨǝr! Mekiyan qüjilirini ⱪanat astiƣa yiƣⱪandǝk pǝrzǝntliringni ⱪanqǝ ⱪetim ⱪoynumƣa almaⱪqi boldum, lekin silǝr unimidinglar!
“O [people of] Jerusalem [MTY, APO], you killed the prophets [who lived long ago], and you killed others whom [God] sent to you. You killed them by throwing stones at them [DOU]! Many times I wanted to gather you together [to protect you], like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings [MET]. But you did not want [me to do that].
38 Mana, ǝmdi ɵyünglar silǝrgǝ harabǝ bolup ⱪalidu!
So listen to this: Your city [SYN] will [soon] become an uninhabited place.
39 Qünki mǝn xuni silǝrgǝ eytip ⱪoyayki, silǝr: «Pǝrwǝrdigarning namida kǝlgüqigǝ mubarǝk bolsun!» demigüqǝ, silǝr meni ⱪaytidin ⱨeq kɵrǝlmǝysilǝr.
Keep this in mind: You will see me again only when I [return], and you say [about me], ‘[God] is truly pleased with this man who comes with God’s authority [MTY].’”
