< Matthew 23 >

1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
JESUS itŭm'sĭtsĭpsiuax akai'tappix ki otŭsksĭnĭmats'ax,
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
Ki an'iu, Ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisees, Moses otsiso'pŏtsĭsaie itau'piau:
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.
Ŭnnikaie kitomian'ĭstaniipuai sat'sĭk ki nĭstutsĭk'. Ki manĭstsĭs'tutsipiau, pinan ĭs'tutsik: tŭk'ka itan'iau, ki matsĭstutŭkkiu'axau.
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.
Issoksĭs'tsĭsts itau'monĭmiauĕsts soku'ĕsts mŏkopa'tosau ki matap'pix otsĭstsoauĕsts itotom'iauĕsts; ki osto'auai matakotsĭstŭpakiotsĭm'axauĕsts tuks'kŭmi okĭt'suauax.
5 But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
Otokŏnap'otŭksuauĕsts itsĭstuts'ĭmiauĕsts mŏksĭnnu'yĭsau matap'pix: itopŭx'ĭstutsĭmiauĕsts phylacteries, ki itomŭx'ĭstutsĭmĕsts otsaieno'tŭksuauĕsts,
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
Ki ŭkome'tsĭmiauĕsts oye'tanĭsts ĭstotom'iapioyĭsts, ki natoi'apioyĭsts ĭstotom'isopŏtsĭsts.
7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
Ki otsitau'pĭsau itau'pumaupi aiksemattsĭni'otseisĭnni, ki mŏks'ĭnikŏttosau, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
Pinĭs'tsĭnikŭkĭk Rabbi: tuks'kŭmă kitsĭn'aimoauă, Christ: ki ksĕsto'au kĭtokŏnaix'okoauax.
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
Ki Pini'nikŏttok matap'pi, annom' ksŏk'kum, kĭn'a; tuks'kŭmă kĭn'oaua annŏk' spots'im itau'piuŏk.
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
Ki pinitsĭn'ikŭkĭk Nin'ax: tuks'kŭma kitsĭn'aimoaua, Christ.
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
Annŏk' omŭx'ĭmŏk ksĕsto'au, kitak'apotomokoau.
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Annŏk' ak'omuxĭstutosiuŏk, aks'inŭxĭstutoau; ki annŏk' aksinŭx'ĭstutosiuŏk, ak'omŭxĭstutoau.
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.
Kitaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai! Kitsitaiok'iauaiau matap'pix Spots'im ĭstsĭn'naiisĭnni: ksĕsto'au kimatsitaipipuau'ats, ki aiaksipimix kimats'epokkitsetomauaxau mŏk'itsipĭsau.
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.
Kitaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai! Nam'akex oko'auĕsts kitau'attopuaiau, ki kitaisŭmiksĭstapatsĭmoiikapuau: mĭs'tŭpkapii kitakoku'yisuai.
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)
Kitaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai kitotka'atau ksŏk'kum ki omŭk'sikĭmi kŏk'itokonoŏsi tuks'kŭmă matap'iuă mŏkĭtanĭs'tsitsitasi kanĭstsitsi'tawpi kitaumaitu'yĭssi, kanĭstŭm'ipuai ksĕsto'au Hell oku'yix kitak'anĭstsĭstokiaiĭstutoauau. (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.’
Kitaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au kitsaps'tsiotŭpĭnŭkipuau, kitan'ipuau annŏk' akitup'ŭtauŭniuŏk omŭk'atoiapioyĭs matsikiu'ats, ki annŏk' akitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk omŭk'atoiapioyĭs ĭsto'tokuiĭxkĭm, aks'ĭstutsĭmaie!
17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
Kitŭt'tsapspuau, kitsaps'tsiipuau: Tsĭma' omŭk'o. Otoku'iĭxkĭm, ki omŭk'atoiapioyĭs annik' itatsĭm'mĭmmiik otoku'iĭxkĭm.
18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
Ki annŏk' akitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk altar, matsikiu'ats; ki annŏk' akitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk kotŭk'sĭnni altar itokhĭts'tsipi, ai'aksĭstutsĭmaie.
19 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
Kitŭt'tsapspuau, kitsaps'tsipuau Tsĭma' omŭk'o, kotŭk'sĭnni, ki altar annŏk' itatsĭm'etsĭmŏk kotŭk'sĭnni?
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
Annŏk' aiakitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk altar, itup'ŭtauŭniu altar ki mian'ĭsttokhĭtstsii.
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
Ki annŏk' aiakitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk omŭk'atoiapioyĭs, itŭp'ŭtauŭniu omŭk'atoiapioyĭs ki annŏk' iko'attomŏk.
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
Ki annŏk' aiakitŭp'ŭtauŭniuŏk spots' im, itŭp'ŭtauŭniu Ap'ĭstotokiuă otspiso'pŏtsis ki annŏk' itokhittaupiuŏk.
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.
Kitaks'ksĭnipuau makapi ksĕsto'au ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai! Kitai'ponitasuai mint ki anise ki cummin, ki ĭssoku'ĭsts kimatsatsipuauĕstsau, okŏk'itsimanĭsts, kĭm'apiisĭnni ki aumai'tŭksĭnni: am'osts ŏkh'si kŏk'satsŏsuaiau; ki mat'ŏkhsiuats kŏk staiĭstutsĭssuai stsĭk'ists.
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
Kits' apstsiotŭpĭnŭkipuau, kitai'soautsauau inŭx'soĭsksĭssi, ki kitaits'ĭssttimauau camel:
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.
Kitaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au ai'sinakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai! Kŏs'ă ki saiĕtso'kosi sauauts'i kitŭs'siipuaiau, ki pĭstots'ĭm itui'tsiau minĭk'otŭksĭnni ki auŭt'tseisĭnni.
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
Kitsaps'tsii Pharisee, matom'siitau pistots'im kos'ă ki saiĕtso'kosa mŏk'ŭtsitsiksixĭssi sauauts'i,
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.
Kitsaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au ai'sĭnakix ki Pharisee kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai! Ksĭkoken'imanĭsts kine'tŭmanĭstspuau ai'ŏkhsĭnipiau sauauts'ĭstsi, ki pĭstots' im itui'tsiau enix' okin'oauĕsts ki makap'ĭsts.
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Netoi'nitsiii ksĕsto'au kĭto'kŏmotsitappiĭnipuau matap'pi, ki pĭstots'im kitotuitskitsipuai ksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiisĭnni ki sauum'itsitappiisĭnni.
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
Kitaks'ksĭnipuau maka'pi ksĕsto'au ai'sinakix ki Pharisees, kitsiksĭs'tapokŏmotsitappiansuai! Kitap'ĭstutsipuaiau prophetix otoken'imanoauĕsts, ki kita'nŭtsĭstutsipuaiau mokŏm'otsitappix otoken'imanoauĕsts,
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.’
Ki kitanipuau nitsa'kiaitappiipĭnanopi nĭn'anĭx otsa'kiaitappiisau nĭs'tasauopoksĭstokemaumŭnanopiau prophetix otsa'apŭnoauĕsts.
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
Ŭn'nikaie kit'auŭtanipuau, ksĕsto'auŭkauk anniks'isk matap'pixk initsixk' prophetsix o'kosoauax.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
Tu'itok kĭn'oauax otsauum'itsitappiisuauĕsts.
33 You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna? (Geenna g1067)
Pitseksĭnax, opĭx'exĭnasĭnna, Tsa'a kitakanĭstupĭs'tapixsattopats Hell ĭstokŏk'itsimani? (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,
Ŭn'nikaie, sat'sĭk kĭtakittŭp'skoaiau ksĕsto'au prophetix, ki mokŏk'ietappix ki ai'sĭnakix: ki stsĭk'ĭx kitax'enitauaiau ki kitiikau'aistauaiau; ki stsĭk'ĭx kitakitsipstŭstsipĭs'auaiau kitatoi'apioyimoauests, ki kĭtak'auksĭstutuauaiau amian'ĭstakap'ioyĭsts otai'akitsipĭsau:
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.
