Mataio 23
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A LAILA, olelo mai la o Iesu i ka poe kanaka a me kana poe haumana.
1Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:
2I mai la, Ke noho nei ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio ma ka noho o Mose.
2“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
3Nolaila, 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.
3So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
4Ke 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.
4They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5Ke 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.
5All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
6Ke makemake nei lakou i na wahi maikai ma na ahaaina, a me na noho kiekie ma na halehalawai;
6They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,
7A me ka uwe alohaia'ku ma na aha kanaka, a me ke kapaia e na kanaka, E Rabi, e Rabi.
7the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
8Aka, o oukou, mai kapaia oukou he Rabi, no ka mea, hookahi a oukou Kumu, o ka Mesia, a he poe hoahanau oukou a pau.
8But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9Aole hoi e hoomakua aku oukou i kekahi kanaka ma ka honua nei; hookahi o oukou Makua, aia i ka lani.
9And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
10Aole hoi oukou e kapaia mai na Haku, hookahi o oukou Haku, o ka Mesia.
10Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.
11O ka mea nui iwaena o oukou, he pono e lilo ia i kauwa na oukou.
11The greatest among you shall be your servant.
12O ka mea hookiekie ae ia ia iho, e hoohaahaaia iho no ia; a o ka mea hoohaahaa ia ia iho, e hookiekieia'e oia.
12For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13Auwe 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.
13Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let in those who wish to enter.
14Auwe 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.
no verse 14 in this text
15Auwe 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.
15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You traverse land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
16Auwe 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!
16Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’
17He 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?
17You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?
18A, 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.
18And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.’
19He 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?
19You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?
20O ka mea hoohiki ma ke kuahu, oia no ka hoohiki ma ia mea a me na mea a pau maluna iho.
20So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21A o ka mea hoohiki aka ma ka luakini, oia no ke hoohiki aku ma ia mea, a me ka mea e noho ana iloko.
21And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.
22A 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.
22And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.
23Auwe 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.
23Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
24E na alakai makapo, ke kanana nei i ka naonao, me ke ale wale iho i ke kamelo.
24You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25Auwe 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.
25Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
26E ka Parisaio makapo: e holoi mua oe ia loko o ke kiaha a me ke pa, i maemae pu ia me ko waho.
26Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.
27Auwe 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.
27Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity.
28Pela hoi oukou, ua ikea e na kanaka, he maikai mawaho; aka, ua piha o loko i ka hoopunipuni a me ka pono ole.
28In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29Auwe 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;
29Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.
30A 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.
30And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’
31Pela oukou e hoike mai nei ia oukou iho, he mamo oukou na ka poe pepehi kaula.
31So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
32E hoopiha ae hoi oukou i ke ana o ko oukou poe kupuna.
32Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.
33E ka poe nahesa, ka ohana moonihoawa, pehea la auanei oukou e pakele ai i ka make ma gehena?
33You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?
34Nolaila 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.
34Because of this, I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and others you will flog in your synagogues and persecute in town after town.
35I 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.
35And so upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
36He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, E kau mai ana keia mau mea a pau maluna o keia hanauna.
36Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37E 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.
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
38Aia hoi, ua waiho neoneo ia no oukou ko oukou hale o noho ai.
38Look, your house is left to you desolate.
39No 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.
39For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
