Mataio 23
1 A LAILA, olelo mai la o Iesu i ka poe kanaka a me kana poe haumana.
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples.
2 I mai la, Ke noho nei ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio ma ka noho o Mose.
He said, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.
3 Nolaila, o na mea a pau a lakou e kauoha mai ai e malama, e malama oukou ia a e hana aku pela; aka, mai hana oukou e like me ka lakou hana ana: no ka mea, ke olelo nei lakou, aole nae e hana.
Therefore whatever they command you to do, do these things and observe them. But do not imitate their deeds, for they say things but then do not do them.
4 Ke nakinaki nei lakou i na ukana kaumaha, a he luhi hoi ke hali, a ke kau nei iluna o na hokua o na kanaka; aole nae lakou e hoopa iki aku ia mau mea me kekahi manamanalima o lakou.
Yes, they bind heavy burdens that are difficult to carry, and then they put them on people's shoulders. But they themselves will not move a finger to carry them.
5 Ke hana nei lakou i ka lakou mau hana a pau, i ikea mai ai e na kanaka. Ke hoopalahalaha nei lakou i ua apana kanawai o lakou; a ke hoonui nei hoi lakou i na lepa o ka lakou aahu.
They do all their deeds to be seen by people. For they make their phylacteries wide, and they enlarge the edges of their garments.
6 Ke makemake nei lakou i na wahi maikai ma na ahaaina, a me na noho kiekie ma na halehalawai;
They love the chief places at feasts and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 A me ka uwe alohaia'ku ma na aha kanaka, a me ke kapaia e na kanaka, E Rabi, e Rabi.
and special greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi' by people.
8 Aka, o oukou, mai kapaia oukou he Rabi, no ka mea, hookahi a oukou Kumu, o ka Mesia, a he poe hoahanau oukou a pau.
But you must not be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one teacher, and all you are brothers.
9 Aole hoi e hoomakua aku oukou i kekahi kanaka ma ka honua nei; hookahi o oukou Makua, aia i ka lani.
And call no man on earth your father, for you have only one Father, and he is in heaven.
10 Aole hoi oukou e kapaia mai na Haku, hookahi o oukou Haku, o ka Mesia.
Neither must you be called 'teacher,' for you have only one teacher, the Christ.
11 O ka mea nui iwaena o oukou, he pono e lilo ia i kauwa na oukou.
But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
12 O ka mea hookiekie ae ia ia iho, e hoohaahaaia iho no ia; a o ka mea hoohaahaa ia ia iho, e hookiekieia'e oia.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na bookamani! no ka mea, ke papani nei oukou i ke aupuni o ka lani imua o na kanaka; no ka mea, aole oukou e komo ae, aole hoi oukou e ae aku e komo iloko ka poe e komo ana.
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven against people. For you do not enter it yourselves, and neither do you allow those about to enter to do so.
14 Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me na Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ua pau ia oukou na hale o na wahinekanemake; a ke hooloihi nei oukou i na pule i mea e ikea ai. No ia hoi, e loaa uanei ia oukou ka make nui loa.
15 Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ke poaihaele nei oukou i ke kai a me ka aina, i kaana mai ai na oukou kekahi haumana; a loaa, ua hana oukou ia ia, a oi papalua kona keiki ana no Gehena mamua o ko oukou. (Geenna g1067)
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you go over sea and land to make one convert, and when he has become one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you. (Geenna g1067)
16 Auwe oukou, e na alakai makapo, ka i olelo, O ka hoohiki aku ma ka luakini he mea ole ia; aka, o ka mea hoohiki aku ma ke gula o ka luakini, he aie kana!
Woe to you, you blind guides, you who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing. But whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound to his oath.'
17 He poe naaupo a me ka makapo: heaha ka mea oi, o ke gula anei, a o ka luakini anei, ka mea e laa ai ke gula?
You blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy?
18 A, o ka mea hoohiki aku ma ke kuahu, he mea ole ia; aka, o ka mea hoohiki aku ma ka mohai iluna iho, he aie kana.
And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing. But whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is bound to his oath.'
19 He poe naaupo a me ka makapo: heaha ka mea oi, o ka mohai anei, a o ke kuahu anei, ka mea e laa ai ka mohai?
You blind people! Which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift holy?
20 O ka mea hoohiki ma ke kuahu, oia no ka hoohiki ma ia mea a me na mea a pau maluna iho.
Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21 A o ka mea hoohiki aka ma ka luakini, oia no ke hoohiki aku ma ia mea, a me ka mea e noho ana iloko.
The one who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who lives in it.
22 A o ka mea hoohiki ma ka lani, oia ke hoohiki ma ka nohoalii o ke Akua, a me ka mea e noho ana iluna iho.
And the one who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
23 Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ke hookupu nei oukou i ka hapaumi o ka mineta me ka aneto a me ke kumino; a ke haalele nei i na mea nui o ke kanawai, i ka hoopono, i ke aloha a me ka hooiaio: o ka oukou mau mea keia e pono ai ke hana, aole hoi e haalele i kela.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, but you have left undone the weightier matters of the law—justice and mercy and faith. But these you ought to have done and not to have left the other undone.
24 E na alakai makapo, ke kanana nei i ka naonao, me ke ale wale iho i ke kamelo.
You blind guides, you who strain out a gnat but swallow a camel!
25 Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ke holoi nei oukou ia waho o ke kiaha a me ke pa; aka, ua piha o loko i ka mea i kaili wale ia a me ka liki ole i ka hoomanawanui.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
26 E ka Parisaio makapo: e holoi mua oe ia loko o ke kiaha a me ke pa, i maemae pu ia me ko waho.
You blind Pharisee! Clean first the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may become clean also.
27 Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ua like oukou me na halekupapau keokeo; ua ikea nae ko waho he maikai; aka, ua piha o loko i na iwikupapau a me ka pelapela.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which on the outside look beautiful, but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.
28 Pela hoi oukou, ua ikea e na kanaka, he maikai mawaho; aka, ua piha o loko i ka hoopunipuni a me ka pono ole.
In the same way, you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ke hana nei oukou i na halekupapau no ka poe kaula, a ke hoonaui nei hoi i na halekupapau no ka poe haipule;
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous.
30 A ke olelo nei oukou, Ina makou i ola pu i ka wa o ka makou poe kupuna, aole makou i hookahe pu me lakou i ke koko o ka poe kaula.
You say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been participants with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'
31 Pela oukou e hoike mai nei ia oukou iho, he mamo oukou na ka poe pepehi kaula.
Therefore you testify against yourselves that you are sons of those who killed the prophets.
32 E hoopiha ae hoi oukou i ke ana o ko oukou poe kupuna.
You also fill up the measure of your fathers.
33 E ka poe nahesa, ka ohana moonihoawa, pehea la auanei oukou e pakele ai i ka make ma gehena? (Geenna g1067)
You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Nolaila hoi, ke hoouna aku nei au ia oukou la i na kaula a me na kanaka naauao, a me na kakaoolelo: a na oukou e pepehi a e kau ma ke kea i kekahi poe o lakou; a e hahau hoi i kekahi poe o lakou ma na halehalawai; a e alualu hoi ia lakou mai keia kulanakauhale a kela kulanakauhale.
Therefore, see, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some you will whip in your synagogues and drive them out from city to city.
35 I hookauia maluna iho o oukou ke koko hala ole a pau i hookaheia maluna o ka honua, mai ke koko o Abela o ke kanaka pono mai, a hiki i ke koko o Zakaria ke keiki a Barakia, a oukou i pepehi ai mawaena o ka luakini a me ke kuahu.
The result is that upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
36 He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, E kau mai ana keia mau mea a pau maluna o keia hanauna.
Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37 E Ierusalema, e Iersualema! ka mea nana i pepehi i na kaula, a i hailuku hoi i ka poe i hoounaia mai iou nei; nani kuu makemake e houluulu mai i kau poe keiki, e like me ka houluulu ana a ka mea i kana ohana keiki malalo iho o kona mau eheu; aole nae oukou i makemake mai.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often did I long to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
38 Aia hoi, ua waiho neoneo ia no oukou ko oukou hale o noho ai.
See, your house is left to you desolate.
39 No ka mea, ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, Aole oukou e ike hou mai ia, u, a hiki i ka wa e olelo mai ai oukou, e hoomaikaiia ka mea e hele mai ana ma ka iuoa o ka Haku.
For I say to you, You will not see me from now on until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'”
