1 ¶ Then Jesus spoke to the multitude and to his disciples,

Me i reira ka korero a Ihu ki te mano, ki ana akonga hoki,

2 s aying, The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down in Moses’ seat;

Ka mea, Kei te nohoanga o Mohi nga karaipi ratou ko nga Parihi e noho ana:

3 t herefore, whatever they bid you to observe, observe it and do it, but do not act according to their works, for they say and do not do it.

Ko nga mea katoa e mea ai ratou hei pupuri ma koutou, puritia, mahia; kei rite ia a koutou mahi ki a ratou mahi: ko ta ratou hoki he korero, kahore he mahi.

4 F or they bind burdens that are heavy and grievous to bear and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

E hereherea ana hoki e ratou nga wahanga taimaha, he uaua me ka pikaua, a whakawaha iho ki runga ki nga pokohiwi o te tangata; heoi kahore ratou e pai kia whakakorikoria ki tetahi o o ratou maihao.

5 B ut they do all their works that they may be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders of their garments

Ko a ratou mahi katoa e meatia ana hei matakitaki ma te tangata; e whakawhanuitia ana e ratou a ratou pairakere; e whakanuia ana ano nga taniko o o ratou kakahu;

6 a nd love the first place at feasts and the chief seats in the synagogues

Ko ta ratou e rawe ai ko nga nohoanga rangatira i nga hakari, me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia,

7 a nd greetings in the markets and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

Me nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko, a kia karangatia e te tangata, E Rapi.

8 B ut, as for you, desire not to be called Rabbi, for one is your Master, the Christ; and you are all brothers.

Otiia aua koutou e karangatia, E Rapi: kotahi hoki to koutou kaiwhakaako; a he tuakana, he teina, koutou katoa.

9 A nd call no one your father upon the earth, for one is your Father, who is in the heavens.

Kaua ano tetahi e kiia hei matua mo koutou i runga i te whenua: kotahi hoki to koutou Matua, ko tera i te rangi.

10 N either be ye called masters, for one is your Master, the Christ.

Kaua ano koutou e kiia he kaiarahi: kotahi ano to koutou kaiarahi, ko te Karaiti.

11 B ut he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

Ko te mea nui rawa hoki o koutou, hei kaimahi ia ma koutou.

12 A nd whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Ki te whakahira hoki tetahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; a ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, ka whakahirangia.

13 ¶ But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens in front of men, for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye those that are entering to go in.

Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e tutakina ana hoki e koutou te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki nga tangata: kahore koutou e tomo, kahore ano e tukua te hunga e tomo ana kia tapoko.

14 W oe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses and for a pretence make long prayer; therefore, ye shall receive the greater judgment.

Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! no te mea ka pau i a koutou nga whare o nga pouaru, a e maminga ana ki te inoi roa: mo reira he nui rawa te he e tau ki a koutou.

15 W oe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.

Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e taiawhiotia ana hoki e koutou te moana me te whenua, kia tahuri mai ai tetahi hei porohiraiti, a, no ka riro mai, ka meinga ia e koutou hei tamaiti mo Kehena, kino noa atu i a koutou.

16 W oe unto you, ye blind guides, who say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga kaiarahi matapo, e mea nei, Ki te oatitia te whare tapu e tetahi, he mea noa ano; otira ki te oatitia e tetahi te koura o te whare tapu, ka mau tana!

17 Y e fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?

E nga kuware, e nga matapo: ko tehea te mea nui, ko te koura ranei, ko te whare tapu ranei i tapu ai te koura?

18 A nd, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever swears by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor.

Me tenei, Ki te oatitia e tetahi te aata, he mea noa ano: otira ki te oatitia te whakahere i runga i te aata, ka mau tana.

19 Y e fools and blind, for which one is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

E nga kuware, e nga matapo, ko tehea te mea nui, ko te whakahere, ko te aata ranei i tapu ai te whakahere?

20 W hosoever therefore shall swear by the altar, swears by it and by all things thereon.

Na, ki te oatitia e tetahi te aata, e oatitia ana e ia tera mea, me nga mea katoa i runga.

21 A nd whosoever shall swear by the temple, swears by it and by Him that dwells therein.

Ki te oatitia e tetahi te whare tapu, e oatitia ana e ia tera mea, me te kainoho o roto.

22 A nd he that shall swear by the heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him that sits thereon.

Ki te oatitia hoki e tetahi te rangi, e oatitia ana e ia te torona o te Atua, me te kainoho o runga.

23 W oe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin and have omitted that which is more important of the law: judgment, mercy, and faith; these were expedient for ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e hoatu ana e koutou te wahi whakatekau o te miniti, o te anihi, o te kumine, a kapea ake nga mea nunui o te ture, te whakawa, te tohu tangata, te whakapono: he tika kia meatia e koutou enei, engari kaua tera ra e kapea.

24 Y e blind guides, who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.

E nga kaiarahi matapo, e tatari nei i te waeroa, a horomia ake te kamera.

25 W oe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup or of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and incontinence.

Aue, te mate mo koutou e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e horoi nei i waho o te kapu, o te pereti, ko roto ia ki tonu i te pahua, i te taikaha.

26 T hou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter that the outside of them may be clean also.

E te Parihi matapo, matua horoia a roto o te kapu, o te pereti, kia ma ai hoki a waho.

27 W oe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whitewashed sepulchres, who indeed appear beautiful outside, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and of all uncleanness.

Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! he rite hoki koutou ki nga urupa kua oti te pani ki te paru ma, ko waho he ataahua ki te titiro atu, ko roto ia ki tonu i nga koiwi tupapaku, i nga mea poke katoa.

28 E ven so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

He pena hoki koutou, ko waho e tika ana ki ta te tangata titiro, ko roto ia e ki ana i te tinihanga, i te kino.

29 W oe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the sepulchres of the righteous

Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga? ko koutou nei hoki hei hanga i nga tanumanga o nga poropiti, hei whakapaipai i nga urupa o nga tangata tika,

30 a nd say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

Me te ki ano, Me i nga ra tatou o o tatou matua, kihai tatou i uru tahi me ratou ki te whakaheke i te toto o nga poropiti.

31 T herefore ye are witnesses unto yourselves that ye are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.

He whakaatu tera na koutou, ko koutou nga tamariki a te hunga nana i patu nga poropiti.

32 F ill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

Tena ra, kia ki a koutou te mehua a o koutou matua.

33 Y e serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the judgment of hell?

E nga neke, e te uri nakahi, me aha ka rere ai koutou i te kupu tuku ki te reinga?

34 ¶ Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets and wise men and scribes, and some of them ye shall kill and crucify, and some of them ye shall scourge in your synagogues and persecute them from city to city,

Na ka tonoa atu e ahau ki a koutou nga poropiti, nga tangata mahara, nga karaipi: ko etahi o ratou e whakamatea e koutou, e ripekatia; ko etahi e whiua i roto i o koutou whare karakia, e whaia hoki i tetahi pa ki tetahi pa:

35 t hat upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye murdered between the temple and the altar.

A ka utaina ki a koutou nga toto katoa o te hunga tika i whakahekea ki te whenua, no te toto o Apera, o te tangata tika tae iho ki te toto o Hakaraia, o te tama a Parakia, i kohurutia e koutou i waenganui o te whare tapu, o te aata.

36 V erily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou. Tera e pa enei mea katoa ki tenei whakatupuranga.

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that didst kill the prophets and stone those who are sent unto thee, how often I desired to gather thy children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

E Hiruharama, e Hiruharama, e whakamate nei i nga poropiti, e aki nei ki te kamaka i te hunga e tonoa ana ki a koe, ano te tini o aku meatanga kia whakaminea au tamariki, kia peratia me te heihei e whakamine nei i ana pi ki raro i ona parirau, a kihai koutou i pai!

38 B ehold, your house is left unto you desolate.

Na ka mahue atu ki a koutou to koutou whare kia takoto noa ana.

39 F or I say unto you, Ye shall not see me from now on until ye shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.

Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E kore koutou e kite i ahau a mua ake nei, kia mea ra ano koutou, Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki.
