Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
anantaraM yIzu rjananivahaM ziSyAMzcAvadat,
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
adhyApakAH phirUzinazca mUsAsanE upavizanti,
3 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.
atastE yuSmAn yadyat mantum AjnjApayanti, tat manyadhvaM pAlayadhvanjca, kintu tESAM karmmAnurUpaM karmma na kurudhvaM; yatastESAM vAkyamAtraM sAraM kAryyE kimapi nAsti|
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.
tE durvvahAn gurutarAn bhArAn badvvA manuSyANAM skandhEpari samarpayanti, kintu svayamaggulyaikayApi na cAlayanti|
5 But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
kEvalaM lOkadarzanAya sarvvakarmmANi kurvvanti; phalataH paTTabandhAn prasAryya dhArayanti, svavastrESu ca dIrghagranthIn dhArayanti;
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
bhOjanabhavana uccasthAnaM, bhajanabhavanE pradhAnamAsanaM,
7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
haTThE namaskAraM gururiti sambOdhananjcaitAni sarvvANi vAnjchanti|
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
kintu yUyaM gurava iti sambOdhanIyA mA bhavata, yatO yuSmAkam EkaH khrISTaEva guru
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
ryUyaM sarvvE mithO bhrAtarazca| punaH pRthivyAM kamapi pitEti mA sambudhyadhvaM, yatO yuSmAkamEkaH svargasthaEva pitA|
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
yUyaM nAyakEti sambhASitA mA bhavata, yatO yuSmAkamEkaH khrISTaEva nAyakaH|
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
aparaM yuSmAkaM madhyE yaH pumAn zrESThaH sa yuSmAn sEviSyatE|
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
yatO yaH svamunnamati, sa nataH kariSyatE; kintu yaH kazcit svamavanataM karOti, sa unnataH kariSyatE|
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.
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM manujAnAM samakSaM svargadvAraM rundha, yUyaM svayaM tEna na pravizatha, pravivikSUnapi vArayatha| vata kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca yUyaM chalAd dIrghaM prArthya vidhavAnAM sarvvasvaM grasatha, yuSmAkaM ghOrataradaNPO bhaviSyati|
14 “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.
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyamEkaM svadharmmAvalambinaM karttuM sAgaraM bhUmaNPalanjca pradakSiNIkurutha,
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 as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
kanjcana prApya svatO dviguNanarakabhAjanaM taM kurutha| (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.’
vata andhapathadarzakAH sarvvE, yUyaM vadatha, mandirasya zapathakaraNAt kimapi na dEyaM; kintu mandirasthasuvarNasya zapathakaraNAd dEyaM|
17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
hE mUPhA hE andhAH suvarNaM tatsuvarNapAvakamandiram EtayOrubhayO rmadhyE kiM zrEyaH?
18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
anyacca vadatha, yajnjavEdyAH zapathakaraNAt kimapi na dEyaM, kintu taduparisthitasya naivEdyasya zapathakaraNAd dEyaM|
19 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
hE mUPhA hE andhAH, naivEdyaM tannaivEdyapAvakavEdirEtayOrubhayO rmadhyE kiM zrEyaH?
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
ataH kEnacid yajnjavEdyAH zapathE kRtE taduparisthasya sarvvasya zapathaH kriyatE|
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
kEnacit mandirasya zapathE kRtE mandiratannivAsinOH zapathaH kriyatE|
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
kEnacit svargasya zapathE kRtE IzvarIyasiMhAsanataduparyyupaviSTayOH zapathaH kriyatE|
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.
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM pOdinAyAH sitacchatrAyA jIrakasya ca dazamAMzAn dattha, kintu vyavasthAyA gurutarAn nyAyadayAvizvAsAn parityajatha; imE yuSmAbhirAcaraNIyA amI ca na laMghanIyAH|
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
hE andhapathadarzakA yUyaM mazakAn apasArayatha, kintu mahAggAn grasatha|
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.
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM pAnapAtrANAM bhOjanapAtrANAnjca bahiH pariSkurutha; kintu tadabhyantaraM durAtmatayA kaluSENa ca paripUrNamAstE|
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
hE andhAH phirUzilOkA Adau pAnapAtrANAM bhOjanapAtrANAnjcAbhyantaraM pariSkuruta, tEna tESAM bahirapi pariSkAriSyatE|
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.
hanta kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM zuklIkRtazmazAnasvarUpA bhavatha, yathA zmazAnabhavanasya bahizcAru, kintvabhyantaraM mRtalOkAnAM kIkazaiH sarvvaprakAramalEna ca paripUrNam;
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
hA hA kapaTina upAdhyAyAH phirUzinazca, yUyaM bhaviSyadvAdinAM zmazAnagEhaM nirmmAtha, sAdhUnAM zmazAnanikEtanaM zObhayatha
30 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.’
vadatha ca yadi vayaM svESAM pUrvvapuruSANAM kAla asthAsyAma, tarhi bhaviSyadvAdinAM zONitapAtanE tESAM sahabhAginO nAbhaviSyAma|
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
atO yUyaM bhaviSyadvAdighAtakAnAM santAnA iti svayamEva svESAM sAkSyaM dattha|
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.

33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna? (Geenna g1067)
rE bhujagAH kRSNabhujagavaMzAH, yUyaM kathaM narakadaNPAd rakSiSyadhvE| (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,
pazyata, yuSmAkamantikam ahaM bhaviSyadvAdinO buddhimata upAdhyAyAMzca prESayiSyAmi, kintu tESAM katipayA yuSmAbhi rghAniSyantE, kruzE ca ghAniSyantE, kEcid bhajanabhavanE kaSAbhirAghAniSyantE, nagarE nagarE tAPiSyantE ca;
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.

36 Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.

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!

38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.

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!’”
