1Tok kutu, Jesus el kaskas nu sin un mwet uh wi mwet tumal lutlut,
1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
2ac fahk, “Mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee pa fal in aketeya Ma Sap lal Moses uh.
2saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
3Ke ma inge kowos enenu in akos ac oru ma nukewa ma elos fahk kowos in oru uh; tusruktu, nimet kowos etai orekma lalos, mweyen elos tia oru oana ma elos fahk.
3All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.
4Elos kapreni mwe utuk toasr ac upa ac filiya finpisen mwet uh, ac elos tia sang sokofanna kufinpaolos in kasrelos us ma toasr inge.
4For 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.
5Ma nukewa elos oru, elos oru mwet uh in liye. Ngetang liye ke elos arulana akyokye box in nein verse in Ma Simusla ma elos kapriya ke motonsrolos ac paolos! Liye pac ke arulana loes mwe yun ke pulun nuknuk lalos uh!
5But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
6Elos lungse muta ke acn wowo ke pacl in kufwa, ac ke acn ma sriyukla nu sin mwet fulat in iwen lolngok uh.
6and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
7Elos lungse mwet uh in paingulos ac srim nu selos ke nien tukeni lun mwet uh, ac lungse mwet in pangnolos ‘Mwet Luti.’
7the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
8Tia enenu in pangpang kowos ‘Mwet Luti,’ mweyen kowos nukewa mwet lili ac lulu lun sie sin sie, ac oasr Mwet Luti sefanna lowos nukewa.
8But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
9Ac kowos in tia pangon kutena mwet fin faclu ‘Papa,’ mweyen Papa sefanna tomowos su inkusrao.
9Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
10Kowos in tia pac lela mwet uh in pangon kowos ‘Mwet Kol,’ mweyen mwet kol sefanna lowos uh pa Messiah.
10Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
11Eneneyuk tuh el su fulat emeet inmasrlowos elan mwet kulansap lowos.
11But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
12El su sifacna akfulatyal ac fah akpusiselyeyuk, ac el su sifacna akpusiselyal el ac fah akfulatyeyuk.
12Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13“We nu suwos, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee! Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos kaliya nien utyak nu in Tokosrai lun kusrao nu sin mwet uh, a kowos sifacna tia utyak nu we ku fuhlela mwet su lungse utyak in utyak! [
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.
14We nu suwos, kowos mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee. Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos kiapu katinmas ac pusrala lohm selos, tari kowos filangkin pre loeloes lowos! Ke kowos oru ouinge ac fah arulana yohk kaiyuk nu suwos!]
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.
15“We nu suwos, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee! Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos kalkal in meoa uh ac tupalla facl lulap in furokla moul lun sie mwet nu ke alu lun mwet Jew; ac tukun el forla kowos oru tuh elan ilyak nu in Hell ac koluk yohk liki kowos pacl luo.
15Woe 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.
16“We nu suwos, kowos mwet kol kun! Kowos luti mwet uh ac fahk, ‘Kutena mwet su fulahk ke Tempul, el tia enenu in akfalye fulahk lal; a el fin fulahk ke gold ma oan in Tempul, na el enenu na in akfalye.’
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.’
17Kowos mwet sulonginten ac lalfon! Ma ya kac yohk uh: gold uh, ku Tempul su oru gold uh in mutal?
17You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18Kowos oayapa luti ac fahk mu, ‘Kutena mwet su fulahk ke loang in kisa uh, el ac tia enenu in akfalye fulahk lal uh; a el fin fulahk ke mwe kisa ma oan fin loang uh, na el enenu na in akfalye.’
18And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
19Kowos arulana kun! Pia ma se ma yohk sripa uh: mwe kisa uh, ku loang se su oru tuh mwe kisa uh in mutal?
19You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20Ke ma inge, mwet se fin fulahk ke loang uh, el fulahk ke loang uh ac ma nukewa ma oan fac,
20He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
21ac el fin fulahk ke Tempul, el fulahk kac ac oayapa ke God su muta we.
21He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
22Ac mwet se fin fulahk ke acn inkusrao, el orek fulahk ke tron lun God ac ke El su muta fac.
22He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
23“We nu suwos, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee! Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos sang nu sin God sie tafu singoul, finne ke mahsrik mwe akyuye mongo, oana mint, dill, ac cumin; a kowos tiana akos ma yohk sripa ke Ma Sap inge uh: moulkin nununku suwohs, pakoten, ac inse pwaye. Fal kowos in oru ma inge, ac tia pilesru ma saya uh.
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.
24Kowos mwet kol kun! Kowos srengak ke won srisrik ngalngul ma putati nu ke ma nimowos uh, a kowos okomla camel na fon soko!
24You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
25“We nu suwos, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee! Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos aknasnasye likin cup lowos ac ahlu lowos uh, a acn luac uh sessesla ke ma kowos eis ke inkanek in funmwet ac sulallal.
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.
26Kom sie mwet Pharisee kun! Aknasnasyela luin cup uh meet, na acn lik uh ac fah nasnasla pac!
26You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
27“We nu suwos, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee! Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos oana kulyuk ma sroalla fasrfasr luku uh, a acn loac uh sessesla ke srin mwet misa ac ke ma kulawi.
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.
28In lumah sac pacna, wona lumowos lik, a insiowos sesseslana ke wosounkas ac ke ma koluk.
28Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29“We nu suwos, mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee! Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos oru kulyuk na wowo nu sin mwet palu, ac nawela eot ke kulyuk lun mwet ma wo moul la,
29“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
30a kowos fahk mu kowos funu oasr in pacl lun mwet matu lowos, kowos lukun tia oru ma elos tuh oru, ke elos uniya mwet palu ah.
30and 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.’
31Ke fahk lowos inge, kowos sifacna akkalemye lah kowos ma nutin mwet akmas su tuh uniya mwet palu ah!
31Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
32Fin ouinge, kowos tafwelana orekma su mwet matu lowos ah tuh mutawauk ah!
32Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
33Kowos wet sulallal ac wen nutin wet pwasin! Kowos ac kaingla fuka in tia anwuki kowos in hell?
33You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?
34Ke ma inge nga fahkot nu suwos lah nga ac supwaot nu yuruwos mwet palu, mwet lalmwetmet, ac mwet luti. Kowos ac fah uniya kutu, srupusrak kutu fin sakseng, ac sringil kutu in iwen lolngok ac ukwalos liki sie siti nu ke sie pac siti.
34Therefore, 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,
35Ac ke ma inge, kaiyuk nu ke akmas ma orek nu sin mwet wangin mwata nukewa ac fah putati fowos, mutawauk oe ke akmas nu sel Abel, su wangin mwatal, nwe ke anwuki lal Zechariah wen natul Berechiah, su kowos akmuseya inmasrlon Tempul ac loang in kisa uh.
35that 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.
36Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, kaiyuk nu ke akmas inge nukewa ac fah putati nu fin mwet in fwil se inge!
36Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37“Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Kom uniya mwet palu, ac tungal nu ke misa elos su God El supwalosme in fahkak kas lal nu sum! Pacl ekasr nga tuh kena sruokkomi inpouk oana ke sie won el kafisani torokrok natul ye paol, a kom tia lela!
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!
38Ke ma inge, Tempul lom uh ac fah pisinmala mweyen mwet uh ac fahsrelik liki.
38Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
39Nga fahkot nu suwos, ingela kowos fah tia sifil liyeyu nwe ke na kowos fahk, ‘God Elan akinsewowoyal su tuku Inen Leum.’”
39For 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!’”
