All things therefore as much as (if *N+kO) they shall tell you (to keep *K) (do perform *N+kO) and do observe. After however the works of them not do perform; They speak for and not act.

5 A khoboe te khaw hlang kah a hmuh la boeih a saii uh. A cacimbu te a kaa uh tih salaw te oep uh.
All now the deeds of them they do in order to be seen by men; They broaden (for *N+kO) the phylacteries of them and enlarge tassels (the *k) (of garments of them. *K)
6 Buhkung ah hmuensang, tunim ah ngolhmuen then neh,
They love (now *N+kO) the chief place at the banquets and the first seats in the synagogues

And father no [one] may call of you on the earth; One for is of you the Father who [is] (in heaven. *N+kO)
10 Mawtkung la n'khue uh boel saeh, Khrih tah nangmih mawtkung la rhenten om coeng.

And the greatest among you will be your servant.
12 Tedae amah aka pomsang te tah tlarhoel vetih amah aka tlarhoel te tah a pomsang ni.
He who then will exalt himself will be humbled, and whoever will humble himself will be exalted.
13 Anunae nangmih cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee hlangthai palat rhoek, hlang kah hmaiah vaan ram te na khaih uh tih, namamih khaw na kun uh pawh, aka kun rhoek te khaw kun ham na hlah pa uh pawh.
Woe (however *no) to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; You yourselves for neither enter nor even those entering do you allow to go in.

Jerusalem Jerusalem you who [are] (killing *NK+o) the prophets and stoning those sent to her! How often I wanted to gathered together the children of you, in which way a hen gathers together the chicks (of her *N+kO) under the wings, and not you were willing?
38 Na im tah namamih taengah khosoek la a hlahpham coeng he.
Behold is left to you the house of you desolate!
39 Te dongah nangmih taengah kan thui, ' Boeipa ming neh aka pawk tah a yoethen pai, 'tila na ti uh hlan atah tahae lamkah loh kai muei na hmuh uh loeng loeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
I say for to you; certainly not Me shall you see from now until when you may say; Blessed [is] the [One] coming in [the] name of [the] Lord.’
