Then Yeshua spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
2 Cioela, Moysesen cadirán iarten dirade Scribác eta Phariseuac:
saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
3 Cerere bada erranen baitrauçue beguira deçaçuen, beguira eçaçue eta eguiçue: baina hayén obrén araura eztaguiçuela: ecen erraiten duté, eta ez eguiten.
All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.
4 Ecen carga piçuac eta iassan ecin daitezquenac biltzen dituzté, eta eçarten guiçonén soinetara: baina bere erhiaz hunqui nahi eztituzté.
For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
5 Eta bere obra guciac eguiten dituzté guiçonéz ikus ditecençát: ecen çabaltzen dituzté bere philacterioac, eta luçatzen dituzté bere veztimendetaco bazterrac.
But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
6 Eta on darizté lehen placey banquetetan, eta lehen cadirey synagoguetan,
and love the place of honour at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
7 Eta salutationey merkatuetan, eta guiçonéz deithu içateari Magistruá, Magistruá.
the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
8 Baina çuec etzaiteztela dei Magistru: ecen bat da çuen doctora, Christ: eta çuec gucioc, anaye çarete.
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your Rabbi, the Messiah, and all of you are brothers.
9 Eta çuen aita ezteçaçuela nehor dei lurrean: ecen bat da çuen Aita, ceruètan dena.
Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
10 Eta etzaiteztela dei doctor: ecen bat da çuen doctora, Christ.
Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Messiah.
11 Baina çuen artean handién dena, biz çuen cerbitzari.
But he who is greatest amongst you will be your servant.
12 Ecen bere buruä goraturen duena, beheraturen da: eta bere buruä beheraturen duena, goraturen da.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 Baina maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ceren ersten baituçue ceruètaco resumá guiçonén aitzinean: ecen çuec etzarete sartzen, eta sartzen diradenac eztituçue vtziten sartzera.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretence you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
14 Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác, ecen iresten dituçue ema alhargunén etcheac, are luçaqui othoitz eguin irudiz: halacotz duçue condemnatione handiagoa recebituren.
“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
15 Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác, ecen itsassoa eta leihorra inguratzen dituçue, proselytobat daguiçuençát, eta eguin denean, gehennaco seme eguiten duçue dobláz ceuroc baino areago. (Geenna g1067)
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehinnom as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 Maledictione çuen gainean guidari itsuác, ceinéc baitioçue, Norc-ere iuraturen baitu templeaz, ezta deus: baina norc-ere iuraturen baitu templeco vrrheaz, çordun da.
“Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’
17 Erhoác eta itsuác, cein da handiago vrrhea, ala vrrhea sanctificatzen duen templea?
You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18 Eta erraiten duçue, norc-ere iuraturen baitu aldareaz, ezta deus: baina norc-ere iuraturen baitu haren gainean den oblationeaz, çordun da.
And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
19 Erhoác eta itsuác, cein da handiago oblationea, ala oblationea sanctificatzen duen aldarea?
You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20 Beraz aldareaz iuratzen duenac, iuratzen du harçaz, eta haren gainean diraden gauça guciéz.
He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
21 Eta norc-ere iuratzen baitu templeaz, iuratzen du harçaz, eta hartan habitatzen denaz.
He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
22 Eta iuratzen duenac ceruäz, iuratzen du Iaincoaren thronoaz eta haren gainean iarriric dagoenaz.
He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
23 Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ecen detchematzen dituçue menta eta anisa eta cuminoa, eta vtziten dituçue Legueco gauça piçuagoac, hala nola, iugemendua eta misericordia eta leyaltatea: gauça hauc eguin behar ciraden, eta hec ez vtzi.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the Torah: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
24 Guidari itsuác, eltzoa irazten duçue: eta camelua iresten.
You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
25 Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ecen coparen eta plataren campoco aldea chahutzen duçue: baina barnetic dirade arrauberiaz, eta eccessez betheac.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
26 Phariseu itsuá, chahu eçac lehenic coparen eta plataren barnecoa, hayén campocoa-ere chahu dadinçát.
You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
27 Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ecen sepulchre churituac irudi duçue, hec campotic eder eracusten dirade: baina barnetic hilén heçurrez eta satsutassun oroz betheac dirade.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones and of all uncleanness.
28 Halaber çuec-ere campotic guiçoney eracusten çarete iusto, baina barnean hypocrisiaz eta iniquitatez betheac çarete.
Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Maledictione çuen gainean Scriba eta Phariseu hypocritác: ecen Prophetén sepulchreac edificatzen dituçue, eta iustoén monumentac ornatzen.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
30 Eta dioçue, Baldin gure aitén egunetan içan baguina, ezquinén hayén lagun içanen Prophetén odolean.
and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn’t have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
31 Halatan testificatzen duçue ceurón buruén contra, ecen Prophetác hil dituztenén seme çaretela.
Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
32 Çuec-ere betha eçaçue çuen aitén neurria.
Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgement of Gehinnom? (Geenna g1067)
34 Halacotz huná, nic igorten ditut çuetara Prophetác eta Çuhurrac eta Scribác eta hetaric batzu hilen dituçue eta crucificaturen: eta hetaric batzu açotaturen dituçue çuen synagoguetan, eta persecutaturen hiritic hirira:
Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
35 Dathorrençát çuén gainera lurraren gainean issuri içan den odol iusto guçia, Abel iustoaren odoletic, Zacharia Barachiaren semearen odoleranocoa, cein hil vkan baituçue templearen eta aldarearen artean.
that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
36 Eguiaz diotsuet, ethorrico dirade gauça hauc guciac natione hunen gainera.
Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37 Ierusalem, Ierusalem, Prophetác hiltzen eta hiregana igorriac lapidatzen dituaná, cembatetan bildu nahi vkan ditut hire haourrac, oilloac bere chitoac hegalen azpira biltzen dituen beçala, eta ezpaituc nahi vkan?
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
38 Horrá, guelditzen çaiçue çuen etchea desert.
Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
39 Ecen badiotsuet, eznauçue ikussiren hemendic harát derraqueçueno, Benedicatu dela Iaunaren icenean ethorten dena.
For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
