Berean Standard Bible
1Ege Iesu detager gaire le lakub, pako abara kaimeg giz,
1Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:
2Kega, Aotale giz pako Faresaio giz bakiri Mose ra bas.
2“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
3Peike uaba mamor asarare a uaba ikerare lu uridili uiaba daratagerare, mamor asarare: epe uaba nole ereuerem uiaba tonar giz; abelelam uiaba no mer detaut, a umer kak ikerare abkoreb.
3So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
4Abelelam uiaba didbare au lu beber uiaba dikemerik le giz uiaba tabo ge; ege uiaba umer kak uiaba kebi kei etadmir.
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.
5Gaire uiaba dorge uridili ikerare, iaueakai le giz uiabi darasmerare: uiaba ikerare au filakteri, pako ko au sisero uiaba am uali,
5All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
6Uiaba au sererege eidi abele aule ra uteb leuer ero, pako aule ra bao sunago ge,
6They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,
7Pako gaire le uiabi nasege segur uteb ge, a gaire le giz uiaba nei natkerauem, Rabi ae, Rabi ae.
7the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
8Ege uaba nole nei atker Rabi; abelelam netate uaba Ereuer le, abele Keriso idali, a uaba uridili keimer giz.
8But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9Uaba nole nerute le geseb ge nei atker uaba aba; abelelam netate uaba Baba, penoka dali kotor ge.
9And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
10Uaba nole nei atker ereuer le, abelelam netate uaba Ereuer le, Keriso idali.
10Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.
11Epe abele le aule uabim, E uabim memeg le.
11The greatest among you shall be your servant.
12Ese nerute le tababu babei E aule, E ekekeli; Ese nerute le E tababu gebgeb, E bataili uiabim tumge uridili.
12For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! abelelam uaba dimi abele kotor baselaia lelam; abelelam uaba umer kak barot, a uaba ko daraisumdarare uader le barota.
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.
14Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! abelelam uaba ais eseamulu mai kosker uiaba meta, a uaba esorerapare au pereper ikerare ispilu; abele lulam Ade ra urker aule uabi tumge.
no verse 14 in this text
15Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! abelelam uaba deraueili gur ge pako sep ge iaueakai uaba nagri nerute le uaba esorerapare; ese uaba erpei, a uaba ikerare Gena ra le E au adud uabielam.
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.
16Uaiai uaba datkimuar sadamer le, a uaba mer, Ese le iskosi abele zogo meta nolea kar, epe le iskosi abele zogo meta ra golo, niaiem peike!
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.’
17Le giz paim ae, pako sadamer; abelelam nade aule, nako abele golo, pako abele zogo meta zogoem abele golo?
17You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?
18A nerute, Ese le iskosi abele zegu lu bao, nolea kar; epe abele iskosi abele zegu lu abi tumge, niaiem peike.
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.’
19Le giz paim ae, pako sadamer; abelelam nade lu aule, nako zegu lu, nako bao ge zogoem abele zegu lu?
19You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?
20Dasmer, abele le iskosi abele bao zegu lu, E iskosi gaire lu uridili abi tumge.
20So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21Abele le iskosi abele zogo meta, E abi iskosi, pako le emeri muige abele zogo meta.
21And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.
22Abele le iskosi abele kotor ge, E iskosi Ade ra bao, pako le abi dog egimulu.
22And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.
23Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! uaba ikuar kebi lu abele mili pako abele aneto pako abele kumina, a gaire au lu uaba ispilu abele gelarlam, abele barkak tonar, pako abele omare, pako abele oituli: abkoreb ikelare lu ike, a nole dikaer lu peike.
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.
24Uaba datkimuar sadamer le, uaba dirimid abele lag, a mamor irusere kemerkemer abele kamela.
24You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! uaba dirup abele tanelu ge ra sor pako abele kumeti, epe muige mitkar lu itike pako abele adud tonar giz.
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.
26Mama le Faresaio sadamer, mama kekiam dirup muige abele tanelu ge pako abele kumeti, iaueakai ogo kak kemerkemer abele sor ge.
26Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.
27Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! abelelam uaba mokakalam ao giz, adige au kakekake, debele le dasmer, epe muige mitkar eud le la lid, pako gaire adud lu uridili.
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.
28Mokakalam uaba, adige mokakalam barkak tonar le ise gaire le ra opem, epe muige uaba au mitkar abele bes mer pako abele tonar barbar.
28In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29Uaiai uaba aotale pako Faresaio, bes le giz! abelelam uaba emoare gaire perofeta uiaba ao, a ko deiriem uiaba ao le barkak tonar giz,
29Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.
30A uaba mer kega, Ese keriba abi dog emri abele kerker keriba aba giz emeret, umer kak keriba okakis uiaba narsare perofeta giz.
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.’
31Peike abele mer uabu etomeret uabim, uaba omasker gaire le giz narsare gaire perofeta giz.
31So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.
32A uaba ko mitkar abele tonar lu uaba aba giz lam.
32Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.
33Ege uaba tabo, tabo areg ra omasker giz, nako uaba derar abele urker Genaim?
33You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?
34Dasmer abele lu, kaka uabi namarida perofeta giz, pako pardali le giz, pako aotale le giz; uader le uaba narsare, pako satauroem; a uader le uaba damarika uaba sunago, pako deraimerare nerute uteb a nerute uteb;
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.
35Iaueakai bakedida uabi dog gaire le giz barkak tonar uiaba mam uabielam emetu epaitered abele geseb ge, ditimedelu Abela ra mam, le barkak tonar, a bakedilu Zakaria ra mam, abele Barakaio ra uerem, uaba ipiti eumid abele kesi zogo meta pako zegu lu bao ge.
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.
36Ageakar kaka uabi detager, Gaire lu uridili tabarki tumem abele nosik.
36Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37Ierusalema ae, Ierusalema ae, le ipitare gaire perofeta giz, pako baker erboro le giz emetu namarid marim! kaka au lagelag etami mara omasker giz, mokakalam faul akuadare abara omasker muige abara peo, epe uaba nole la kak!
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!
38Dasmer, uaba meta dikaertare a ko pisoger nagri.
38Look, your house is left to you desolate.
39Abelelam kaka uabi detager, Uaba umer kak kari dasmer, mena keubu uaba kari daratagerare, Uerkab le tabarki Opole ra nei.
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.’”
