Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
अनन्तरं यीशु र्जननिवहं शिष्यांश्चावदत्,
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
अध्यापकाः फिरूशिनश्च मूसासने उपविशन्ति,
3 All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but do not do their works; for they say, and do not do.
अतस्ते युष्मान् यद्यत् मन्तुम् आज्ञापयन्ति, तत् मन्यध्वं पालयध्वञ्च, किन्तु तेषां कर्म्मानुरूपं कर्म्म न कुरुध्वं; यतस्तेषां वाक्यमात्रं सारं कार्य्ये किमपि नास्ति।
4 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.
ते दुर्व्वहान् गुरुतरान् भारान् बद्व्वा मनुष्याणां स्कन्धेपरि समर्पयन्ति, किन्तु स्वयमङ्गुल्यैकयापि न चालयन्ति।
5 But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
केवलं लोकदर्शनाय सर्व्वकर्म्माणि कुर्व्वन्ति; फलतः पट्टबन्धान् प्रसार्य्य धारयन्ति, स्ववस्त्रेषु च दीर्घग्रन्थीन् धारयन्ति;
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
भोजनभवन उच्चस्थानं, भजनभवने प्रधानमासनं,
7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
हट्ठे नमस्कारं गुरुरिति सम्बोधनञ्चैतानि सर्व्वाणि वाञ्छन्ति।
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
किन्तु यूयं गुरव इति सम्बोधनीया मा भवत, यतो युष्माकम् एकः ख्रीष्टएव गुरु
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
र्यूयं सर्व्वे मिथो भ्रातरश्च। पुनः पृथिव्यां कमपि पितेति मा सम्बुध्यध्वं, यतो युष्माकमेकः स्वर्गस्थएव पिता।
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
यूयं नायकेति सम्भाषिता मा भवत, यतो युष्माकमेकः ख्रीष्टएव नायकः।
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
अपरं युष्माकं मध्ये यः पुमान् श्रेष्ठः स युष्मान् सेविष्यते।
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
यतो यः स्वमुन्नमति, स नतः करिष्यते; किन्तु यः कश्चित् स्वमवनतं करोति, स उन्नतः करिष्यते।
13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
हन्त कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च, यूयं मनुजानां समक्षं स्वर्गद्वारं रुन्ध, यूयं स्वयं तेन न प्रविशथ, प्रविविक्षूनपि वारयथ। वत कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च यूयं छलाद् दीर्घं प्रार्थ्य विधवानां सर्व्वस्वं ग्रसथ, युष्माकं घोरतरदण्डो भविष्यति।
14 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you do not enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
हन्त कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च, यूयमेकं स्वधर्म्मावलम्बिनं कर्त्तुं सागरं भूमण्डलञ्च प्रदक्षिणीकुरुथ,
15 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 Gehenna (Geenna g1067) as yourselves.
कञ्चन प्राप्य स्वतो द्विगुणनरकभाजनं तं कुरुथ। (Geenna g1067)
16 “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.’
वत अन्धपथदर्शकाः सर्व्वे, यूयं वदथ, मन्दिरस्य शपथकरणात् किमपि न देयं; किन्तु मन्दिरस्थसुवर्णस्य शपथकरणाद् देयं।
17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
हे मूढा हे अन्धाः सुवर्णं तत्सुवर्णपावकमन्दिरम् एतयोरुभयो र्मध्ये किं श्रेयः?
18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
अन्यच्च वदथ, यज्ञवेद्याः शपथकरणात् किमपि न देयं, किन्तु तदुपरिस्थितस्य नैवेद्यस्य शपथकरणाद् देयं।
19 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
हे मूढा हे अन्धाः, नैवेद्यं तन्नैवेद्यपावकवेदिरेतयोरुभयो र्मध्ये किं श्रेयः?
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
अतः केनचिद् यज्ञवेद्याः शपथे कृते तदुपरिस्थस्य सर्व्वस्य शपथः क्रियते।
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
केनचित् मन्दिरस्य शपथे कृते मन्दिरतन्निवासिनोः शपथः क्रियते।
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
केनचित् स्वर्गस्य शपथे कृते ईश्वरीयसिंहासनतदुपर्य्युपविष्टयोः शपथः क्रियते।
23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
हन्त कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च, यूयं पोदिनायाः सितच्छत्राया जीरकस्य च दशमांशान् दत्थ, किन्तु व्यवस्थाया गुरुतरान् न्यायदयाविश्वासान् परित्यजथ; इमे युष्माभिराचरणीया अमी च न लंघनीयाः।
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
हे अन्धपथदर्शका यूयं मशकान् अपसारयथ, किन्तु महाङ्गान् ग्रसथ।
25 “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.
हन्त कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च, यूयं पानपात्राणां भोजनपात्राणाञ्च बहिः परिष्कुरुथ; किन्तु तदभ्यन्तरं दुरात्मतया कलुषेण च परिपूर्णमास्ते।
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
हे अन्धाः फिरूशिलोका आदौ पानपात्राणां भोजनपात्राणाञ्चाभ्यन्तरं परिष्कुरुत, तेन तेषां बहिरपि परिष्कारिष्यते।
27 “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.
हन्त कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च, यूयं शुक्लीकृतश्मशानस्वरूपा भवथ, यथा श्मशानभवनस्य बहिश्चारु, किन्त्वभ्यन्तरं मृतलोकानां कीकशैः सर्व्वप्रकारमलेन च परिपूर्णम्;
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
तथैव यूयमपि लोकानां समक्षं बहिर्धार्म्मिकाः किन्त्वन्तःकरणेषु केवलकापट्याधर्म्माभ्यां परिपूर्णाः।
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
हा हा कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च, यूयं भविष्यद्वादिनां श्मशानगेहं निर्म्माथ, साधूनां श्मशाननिकेतनं शोभयथ
30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
वदथ च यदि वयं स्वेषां पूर्व्वपुरुषाणां काल अस्थास्याम, तर्हि भविष्यद्वादिनां शोणितपातने तेषां सहभागिनो नाभविष्याम।
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
अतो यूयं भविष्यद्वादिघातकानां सन्ताना इति स्वयमेव स्वेषां साक्ष्यं दत्थ।
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
अतो यूयं निजपूर्व्वपुरुषाणां परिमाणपात्रं परिपूरयत।
33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna (Geenna g1067)?
रे भुजगाः कृष्णभुजगवंशाः, यूयं कथं नरकदण्डाद् रक्षिष्यध्वे। (Geenna g1067)
34 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,
पश्यत, युष्माकमन्तिकम् अहं भविष्यद्वादिनो बुद्धिमत उपाध्यायांश्च प्रेषयिष्यामि, किन्तु तेषां कतिपया युष्माभि र्घानिष्यन्ते, क्रुशे च घानिष्यन्ते, केचिद् भजनभवने कषाभिराघानिष्यन्ते, नगरे नगरे ताडिष्यन्ते च;
35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
तेन सत्पुरुषस्य हाबिलो रक्तपातमारभ्य बेरिखियः पुत्रं यं सिखरियं यूयं मन्दिरयज्ञवेद्यो र्मध्ये हतवन्तः, तदीयशोणितपातं यावद् अस्मिन् देशे यावतां साधुपुरुषाणां शोणितपातो ऽभवत् तत् सर्व्वेषामागसां दण्डा युष्मासु वर्त्तिष्यन्ते।
36 Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
अहं युष्मान्त तथ्यं वदामि, विद्यमानेऽस्मिन् पुरुषे सर्व्वे वर्त्तिष्यन्ते।
37 “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!
हे यिरूशालम् हे यिरूशालम् नगरि त्वं भविष्यद्वादिनो हतवती, तव समीपं प्रेरितांश्च पाषाणैराहतवती, यथा कुक्कुटी शावकान् पक्षाधः संगृह्लाति, तथा तव सन्तानान् संग्रहीतुं अहं बहुवारम् ऐच्छं; किन्तु त्वं न सममन्यथाः।
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
पश्यत यष्माकं वासस्थानम् उच्छिन्नं त्यक्ष्यते।
39 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!’”
अहं युष्मान् तथ्यं वदामि, यः परमेश्वरस्य नाम्नागच्छति, स धन्य इति वाणीं यावन्न वदिष्यथ, तावत् मां पुन र्न द्रक्ष्यथ।
