1 M e i reira ka korero a Ihu ki te mano, ki ana akonga hoki,

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,

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

saying: “ The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses;

3 K o 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.

therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.

4 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.

They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger.

5 K o 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;

But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.

6 K o ta ratou e rawe ai ko nga nohoanga rangatira i nga hakari, me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia,

They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues,

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

and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men.

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

But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.

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

Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

10 K aua ano koutou e kiia he kaiarahi: kotahi ano to koutou kaiarahi, ko te Karaiti.

Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.

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

But the greatest among you shall be your servant.

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

Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. Eight Woes

13 A ue, 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.

“ But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.

14 A ue, 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.

'> Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation. ]

15 A ue, 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.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

16 A ue, 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!

“Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘ Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.’

17 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?

You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?

18 M e 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.

And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the offering on it, he is obligated.’

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

You blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?

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

Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it.

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

And whoever swears by the temple, swears both by the temple and by Him who dwells within it.

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

And whoever swears by heaven, swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.

23 A ue, 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.

“ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

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

You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!

25 A ue, 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.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.

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

You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.

27 A ue, 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.

“ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.

28 H e 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.

So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

29 A ue, 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,

“ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,

30 M e 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.

and say, ‘If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’

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

So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.

32 T ena ra, kia ki a koutou te mehua a o koutou matua.

Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers.

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

You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell?

34 N a 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:

“ Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and 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,

35 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.

so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

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

Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. Lament over Jerusalem

37 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!

“ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.

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

Behold, your house is being left to you desolate!

39 K o 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.

For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘ Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
