马太福音 23
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
經學家和法利賽人有禍了(A)
23 那時，耶穌對群眾和他的門徒說： 2 “經學家和法利賽人坐在摩西的座位上， 3 所以凡他們吩咐你們的，你們都要遵行和謹守，但不可效法他們的行為，因為他們只會說而不去作。 4 他們把重擔捆起來，壓在人的肩頭上，但自己連一個指頭也不肯動。 5 他們所作的一切，都是要作給人看：他們把經文的匣子做大了，衣服的繸子做長了； 6 他們喜歡筵席上的首位、會堂裡的高位； 7 又喜歡人在市中心向他們問安，稱呼他們‘拉比’。 8 然而你們不要被人稱為‘拉比’，因為只有一位是你們的老師，你們都是弟兄。 9 不要稱呼地上的人為父，因為只有一位是你們的父，就是天父。 10 你們也不要被人稱為師傅，因為只有一位是你們的師傅，就是基督。 11 你們中間最大的，必作你們的僕人。 12 凡高抬自己的，必被降卑；凡自己謙卑的，必被升高。
13 “虛偽的經學家和法利賽人哪，你們有禍了！你們在人面前關了天國的門，自己不進去，連正要進去的人，你們也不准他們進去。（有些抄本有第14節：“虛偽的經學家和法利賽人哪，你們有禍了！你們吞沒了寡婦的房產，假裝作冗長的禱告，所以你們必受更重的刑罰。”）
15 “虛偽的經學家和法利賽人哪，你們有禍了！你們走遍海洋陸地，要使一個人入教；當他入了教，你們卻使他淪為地獄之子，比你們更甚。
16 “你們這些瞎眼的嚮導有禍了！你們說：‘凡指著聖所而起的誓，是沒有用的；但指著聖所的金子而起的誓，就必須遵守。’ 17 你們這些瞎眼的愚昧人哪，到底是金子大，還是使金子成聖的聖所大呢？ 18 你們又說：‘凡指著祭壇所起的誓，是沒有用的；但指著壇上的祭物所起的誓，就必須遵守。’ 19 瞎眼的人哪！到底是祭物大，還是使祭物成聖的祭壇大呢？ 20 所以，凡指著祭壇起誓的，他就是指著祭壇和壇上的一切起誓； 21 指著聖所起誓的，就是指著聖所和住在那裡的 神起誓； 22 指著天起誓的，就是指著 神的寶座和坐在寶座上的起誓。
23 “虛偽的經學家和法利賽人哪，你們有禍了！你們把薄荷、茴香、芹菜，獻上十分之一，卻忽略律法上更重要的，就如正義、憐憫和信實；這些更重要的是你們應當作的，但其他的也不可忽略。 24 你們這些瞎眼的嚮導啊，你們把蚊蟲濾出來，卻把駱駝吞下去。
25 “虛偽的經學家和法利賽人哪，你們有禍了！你們洗淨杯盤的外面，裡面卻裝滿了搶奪和放蕩。 26 瞎眼的法利賽人哪，先把杯和盤的裡面洗淨，好使外面也可以乾淨。
27 “虛偽的經學家和法利賽人哪，你們有禍了！你們好像粉飾了的墳墓，外面好看，裡面卻裝滿了死人的骨頭和各樣的污穢； 28 照樣，你們外面看來像義人，裡面卻充塞著虛偽和不法。
29 “虛偽的經學家和法利賽人哪，你們有禍了！你們建造先知的墓，修飾義人的碑， 30 並且說：‘我們若活在我們祖先的時代，決不會與他們一同流先知的血。’ 31 這樣，你們就指證自己是殺害先知的人的子孫了。 32 那麼，去完成你們祖先的罪孽吧！ 33 你們這些蛇，這些毒蛇所生的啊，你們怎能逃脫地獄的刑罰呢？ 34 因此，我差派先知、智慧人和經學家到你們那裡；有些你們要殺害又釘在十字架上，有些你們要在會堂裡鞭打，從一個城趕逐到另一個城。 35 所以，從義人亞伯的血起，到巴拉加的兒子撒迦利亞的血為止，他就是你們在聖所和祭壇中間所殺的，所有義人在地上所流的血，都要歸在你們身上。 36 我實在告訴你們，這一切都必臨到這個世代。
為耶路撒冷歎息（參(B)
37 “耶路撒冷，耶路撒冷啊，你殺害先知，又用石頭把奉派到你們那裡的人打死。我多次想招聚你的兒女，好像母雞招聚小雞到翅膀底下，只是你們不願意。 38 你看，你們的家必成為荒場，留給你們。 39 我告訴你們，從今以後，你們一定見不到我，直等到你們說：‘奉主名來的，是應當稱頌的。’”

Bulgarian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Исус порицава религиозните водачи
(Мк. 12:38-40; Лк. 11:37-52; 20:45-47)
23 След това Исус започна да говори на народа и учениците си, 2 казвайки: „Законоучителите и фарисеите имат правото да тълкуват закона на Моисей. 3 Затова правете и спазвайте всичко, което ви наставляват, но не се учете от делата им, защото те говорят, без да вършат. 4 Налагат върху плещите на хората тежки товари, а самите те и пръста си не помръдват да ги преместят.
5 Вършат добри дела само за да ги видят хората. Наистина, те все уголемяват филактериите[a] си и удължават полите на дрехите си. 6 Обичат да заемат най-почетните места при празненствата и най-предните столове в синагогите. 7 Ласкаят се, когато ги поздравяват с уважение по пазарите и обичат да ги наричат „Учителю“.
8 Но вие не трябва да позволявате да ви наричат „Учителю“, защото всички сте братя и сестри и имате само един Учител. 9 И не наричайте никого на земята „Отче“, защото имате само един Баща — небесния. 10 И не позволявайте да ви наричат „Господарю“, защото един е вашият Господар — Месията. 11 Най-великият сред вас трябва да ви бъде слуга. 12 Всеки, който въздига себе си, ще бъде смирен, а всеки, който смирява себе си, ще бъде въздигнат.
13 Горко ви, лицемерни законоучители и фарисеи! Вие затваряте за хората вратите на небесното царство. Нито вие влизате, нито пускате вътре другите, които се опитват да влязат. 14 [b]
15 Горко ви, лицемерни законоучители и фарисеи! Вие кръстосвате морета и държави, за да намерите един прозелит, а когато го намерите, го правите двойно по-лош и от самите вас, които заслужавате да отидете в пъкъла.
16 Горко ви, слепи водачи, които казвате: „Ако някой се закълне в храма, това не означава нищо. Но ако се закълне в златото в храма, трябва да изпълни клетвата си.“ 17 Слепи глупци! Кое е по-важно: златото или храмът, който прави златото свещено? 18 Вие казвате също: „Ако някой се закълне в олтара, това не означава нищо. Но ако се закълне в дара върху олтара, трябва да изпълни клетвата си.“ 19 Слепци! Кое е по-важно: дарът или олтарът, който прави дара свещен? 20 Който се кълне в олтара, се кълне както в него, така и във всичко, което е върху него. 21 И който се кълне в храма, се кълне както в него, така и в Онзи, който живее в него. 22 Който се кълне в небето, се кълне и в Божия престол, и в Онзи, който седи на него.
23 Горко ви, лицемерни законоучители и фарисеи! Вие давате на Бога една десета от всичко, което имате, дори от джоджена, копъра и кимиона. Но не спазвате онова, което е наистина важно в закона: да сте справедливи, милостиви и честни. Тези неща трябваше да спазвате, като не забравяте и другите. 24 Слепи водачи! Вие сте като човек, който изважда от чашата си мушичка, поглъщайки междувременно камила.
25 Горко ви, лицемерни законоучители и фарисеи! Вие измивате чашите и чиниите отвън, но вътре те са пълни с неща, които сте получили с измама и задоволяване на собствените си страсти. 26 Слепи фарисеино! Първо изчисти вътрешността на чашата и тогава външността й също ще бъде чиста.
27 Горко ви, лицемерни законоучители и фарисеи! Вие сте като варосани гробници — хубави отвън, но вътре пълни с кости на мъртъвци и всякакви нечистотии. 28 Така и вие — отвън изглеждате като праведници, но отвътре сте пълни с лицемерие и грехове.
29 Горко ви, лицемерни законоучители и фарисеи! Вие строите гробници за пророците и украсявате гробовете на праведните, 30 и казвате: „Ако бяхме живели по времето на нашите предци, нямаше да им помагаме да убият пророците.“ 31 С това потвърждавате, че сте потомци на тези, които са убили пророците. 32 Хайде, довършете онова, което предците ви са започнали! 33 Змии и рожби на ехидни! Как мислите, че ще избегнете осъждението на пъкъла? 34 Затова изпращам при вас пророци, мъдреци и учители. Някои от тях ще убиете, други ще разпънете на кръст, трети ще бичувате в синагогите си и ще ги преследвате от град на град. 35 Ваша ще бъде вината за невинно пролятата на земята кръв — от тази на праведника Авел до тази на Захария,[c] Верахиевия син, когото убихте между храма и олтара. 36 Истина ви казвам: наказанието за всичко това ще дойде върху сегашното поколение.
Исус предупреждава хората в Ерусалим
(Лк. 13:34-35)
37 Ерусалиме, Ерусалиме! Ти, който избиваш пророците и с камъни посрещаш онези, които Бог ти изпраща! Колко пъти исках да събера децата ти, както кокошката събира своите пиленца под крилата си! Но вие отказахте. 38 Вижте! Сега домът ви ще остане пуст. 39 Казвам ви: няма да ме видите вече, докато не дойде времето да кажете: «Благословен да бъде този, който идва в името на Господа!»(A)“

Ways of the legal experts and the Pharisees
23 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and his disciples, 2 “The legal experts and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat. 3 Therefore, you must take care to do everything they say. But don’t do what they do. 4 For they tie together heavy packs that are impossible to carry. They put them on the shoulders of others, but are unwilling to lift a finger to move them. 5 Everything they do, they do to be noticed by others. They make extra-wide prayer bands for their arms and long tassels for their clothes. 6 They love to sit in places of honor at banquets and in the synagogues. 7 They love to be greeted with honor in the markets and to be addressed as ‘Rabbi.’
8 “But you shouldn’t be called Rabbi, because you have one teacher, and all of you are brothers and sisters. 9 Don’t call anybody on earth your father, because you have one Father, who is heavenly. 10 Don’t be called teacher, because Christ is your one teacher. 11 But the one who is greatest among you will be your servant. 12 All who lift themselves up will be brought low. But all who make themselves low will be lifted up.
Condemnation of the legal experts and the Pharisees
13 “How terrible it will be for you legal experts and Pharisees! Hypocrites! You shut people out of the kingdom of heaven. You don’t enter yourselves, and you won’t allow those who want to enter to do so.[a]
15 “How terrible it will be for you, legal experts and Pharisees! Hypocrites! You travel over sea and land to make one convert. But when they’ve been converted, they become twice the child of hell you are.
16 “How terrible it will be for you blind guides who say, ‘If people swear by the temple, it’s nothing. But if people swear by the gold in the temple, they are obligated to do what they swore.’ 17 You foolish and blind people! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy? 18 You say, ‘If people swear by the altar, it’s nothing. But if they swear by the gift on the altar, they are obligated to do what they swore.’ 19 You blind people! Which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift holy? 20 Therefore, those who swear by the altar swear by it and by everything that’s on it. 21 Those who swear by the temple swear by it and by everything that’s part of it. 22 Those who swear by heaven swear by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.
23 “How terrible it will be for you legal experts and Pharisees! Hypocrites! You give to God a tenth of mint, dill, and cumin, but you forget about the more important matters of the Law: justice, peace, and faith. You ought to give a tenth but without forgetting about those more important matters. 24 You blind guides! You filter out an ant but swallow a camel.
25 “How terrible it will be for you legal experts and Pharisees! Hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and plate, but inside they are full of violence and pleasure seeking. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup so that the outside of the cup will be clean too.
27 “How terrible it will be for you legal experts and Pharisees! Hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs. They look beautiful on the outside. But inside they are full of dead bones and all kinds of filth. 28 In the same way you look righteous to people. But inside you are full of pretense and rebellion.
29 “How terrible it will be for you legal experts and Pharisees! Hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 You say, ‘If we had lived in our ancestors’ days, we wouldn’t have joined them in killing the prophets.’ 31 You testify against yourselves that you are children of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Go ahead, complete what your ancestors did. 33 You snakes! You children of snakes! How will you be able to escape the judgment of hell? 34 Therefore, look, I’m sending you prophets, wise people, and legal experts. Some of them you will kill and crucify. And some you will beat in your synagogues and chase from city to city. 35 Therefore, upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been poured out on the earth, from the blood of that righteous man Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the temple and the altar. 36 I assure you that all these things will come upon this generation.
Crying over Jerusalem
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You who kill the prophets and stone those who were sent to you. How often I wanted to gather your people together, just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you didn’t want that. 38 Look, your house is left to you deserted. 39 I tell you, you won’t see me until you say, Blessings on the one who comes in the Lord’s name.”[b]

Seven Woes Pronounced on the Scribes and Pharisees
23 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on the seat of Moses. 3 Therefore do and observe everything that they tell you, but do not do as they do,[a] for they tell others to do something[b] and do not do it themselves.[c] 4 And they tie up heavy burdens[d] and put them[e] on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing with their finger to move them. 5 And they do all their deeds in order to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries broad and make their[f] tassels long. 6 And they love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues 7 and the greetings in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by people. 8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ because one is your teacher, and you are all brothers, 9 And do not call anyone[g] your father on earth, for one is your heavenly Father. 10 And do not be called teachers, because one is your teacher, the Christ. 11 And the greatest among you will be your servant. 12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you shut the kingdom of heaven before people! For you do not enter, nor permit those wanting to go in[h] to enter.[i]
15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you travel around the sea and the dry land to make one convert, and when he becomes one,[j] you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are!
16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing! But whoever swears by the gold of the temple is bound by his oath.’[k] 17 Fools and blind people! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy? 18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing! But whoever swears by the gift that is on it is bound by his oath.’[l] 19 Blind people! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift holy? 20 Therefore the one who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything that is on it. 21 And the one who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. 22 And the one who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by the one who sits on it.
23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you pay a tenth of mint and dill and cumin, and neglect the more important matters of the law—justice and mercy and faithfulness! It was necessary[m] to do these things while not neglecting those.[n] 24 Blind guides who filter out a gnat and swallow a camel!
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence! 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish,[o] so that the outside of it may become clean also.
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and of everything unclean! 28 In the same way, on the outside you also appear righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous, 30 and you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in the blood of the prophets!’ 31 Thus you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets! 32 And you—fill up the measure of your fathers! 33 Serpents! Offspring of vipers! How will you escape from the condemnation to hell? 34 For this reason, behold, I am sending to you prophets and wise men and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and will pursue from town to town, 35 so that upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on the earth from the blood of righteous Abel up to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation!
The Lament over Jerusalem
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together the way[p] a hen gathers her young together under her[q] wings, and you were not willing! 38 Behold, your house has been left to you desolate! 39 For I tell you, you will never see me from now on until you say,
‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”[r]
