Matye 23
Haitian Creole Version
23 ¶ Apre sa, Jezi pale ak foul moun yo ansanm ak disip li yo, li di yo:
2 Dirèktè lalwa yo ak farizyen yo la pou esplike Lalwa Moyiz la.
3 Se pou nou koute yo, se pou nou fè tou sa yo di nou fè. Men, pa fè tankou yo. Paske yo menm, yo pa fè sa yo di nou fè.
4 Yo mare gwo chay lou yo mete sou zepòl lòt moun. Men, yo menm yo p'ap leve yon ti pwent dwèt pou ede moun yo pote chay la.
5 Tou sa yo fè, se pou moun kapab wè yo. Gade gwosè meday ki make ak pawòl Liv la yo mare sou fwon yo ak nan bra yo! Gade longè ganiti ki nan woulèt rad long yo!
6 Yo renmen pi bon plas nan reseptyon. Yo renmen chita kote pou tout moun wè yo nan sinagòg.
7 Yo renmen pou moun di yo bonjou jouk atè lè yo sou plas piblik, pou moun rele yo: Mèt, Mèt.
8 Men, nou menm, pa fè moun rele nou Mèt, paske se yon sèl mèt nou genyen. Apa sa, nou tout se frè.
9 Pa rele pesonn sou latè papa, paske nou gen yon sèl papa: sa ki nan syèl la.
10 Pa kite yo rele nou chèf, paske nou gen yon sèl chèf, se Kris la.
11 Moun ki pi grannèg nan mitan nou an, se moun k'ap sèvi nou an.
12 Moun ki vle leve tèt li, y'a desann li. Moun ki desann tèt li, y'a leve li.
13 ¶ Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! Nou fèmen pòt ki mennen nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la pou pesonn pa antre. Nou menm, nou pa antre ladan li. Lèfini, moun ki ta vle antre, nou enpoze yo antre.
14 Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! N'ap piye pòv vèv yo nèt ale, an menm tan n'ap plede fè lapriyè byen long pou parèt pi bon. Se poutèt sa, kondannasyon nou pral pi rèd toujou.
15 Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! N'ap vwayaje toupatou sou lanmè ak sou latè pou nou ka konvèti yon moun lòt nasyon nan relijyon nou an. Lè nou resi jwenn yonn, nou fè l' tounen yon pitit Satan de fwa pi mechan pase nou.
16 Malè pou nou, avèg k'ap kondi moun! Nou di konsa: Yon moun te mèt sèmante sou tanp lan, li pa bezwen kenbe pawòl li pou sa. Men, si l' sèmante sou lò ki nan tanp la, se pou l' kenbe pawòl li.
17 Bann egare, bann moun je pete! Kisa ki pi konsekan: lò a osinon tanp lan kote yo fè lò a sèvi pou Bondye?
18 Nou di ankò: O wi, si yon moun sèmante sou lòtèl la, se pa anyen sa. Li pa bezwen kenbe pawòl li. Men, si l' sèmante sou ofrann ki sou lòtèl la, se pou l' kenbe pawòl li.
19 Bann je pete! Kisa ki pi konsekan: ofrann lan osinon lòtèl la kote yo mete ofrann lan apa pou Bondye?
20 Se sa ki fè, moun ki sèmante sou lòtèl la, li sèmante sou lòtèl la ansanm ak tou sa ki sou li.
21 Moun ki sèmante sou tanp lan, li sèmante sou tanp lan ansanm ak sou Bondye ki rete nan tanp lan.
22 Moun ki sèmante sou syèl la, li sèmante sou fotèy kote Bondye chita a ansanm ak sou Bondye li menm ki chita sou fotèy la.
23 Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! Nou bay Bondye ladim nan rekòt pye mant, pye ani etwale ak pye pèsi, men, nou neglije bagay ki pi konsekan nan lalwa a: n'ap fè lenjistis, nou pa gen kè sansib, nou pa kenbe pawòl nou. Men sa pou n' te fè san nou pa neglije lòt bagay yo.
24 Nou menm k'ap kondi pèp la, nou se yon bann avèg pou tèt pa nou. Nou pase lèt la nan paswa pou nou wete ti mouch ki tonbe ladan li. Men, nou vale yon chwal!
25 Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! Nou netwaye tout deyò gode a ak deyò plat la byen netwaye. Men, anndan yo plen ak bagay nou pran nan vòlò, nan fè visye.
26 Farizyen avèg! Pwòpte anndan gode a ak anndan plat la anvan. Se lè sa a deyò yo va pwòp tou.
27 Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! Nou sanble tonm yo blanchi nan simityè. Deyò yo parèt byen bèl, anndan yo plen ak zosman mò ak tout kalite vye bagay pouri.
28 Konsa tou, sou deyò nan je moun, nou sanble moun k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye. Men anndan kè nou, nou plen ipokrizi ak mechanste.
29 Malè pou nou, nou menm dirèktè lalwa ak farizyen, bann ipokrit! Gade, n'ap bati bèl tonm pou pwofèt yo, nou mete flè sou kavo moun ki te mache dwat devan Bondye yo.
30 Epi n'ap di: Si nou te viv nan tan zansèt nou yo, nou pa ta dakò ak yo lè yo t'ap touye pwofèt yo.
31 Lè nou di sa, nou admèt nou menm tou se pitit pitit moun ki te ansasinen pwofèt yo nou ye.
32 Konsa, nou mèt fin fè sa zansèt nou yo te kòmanse fè a.
33 Bann rize, bann vèmen! Kouman n'a fè chape anba chatiman lanfè a?
34 ¶ Se poutèt sa, men sa ki genyen: mwen pral voye pwofèt, moun ki gen bon konprann ak dirèktè lalwa ban nou. Nou pral touye kèk, gen ladan yo n'ap kloure sou kwa, gen ladan yo n'ap bat ak fwèt nan sinagòg nou yo, n'ap pousib yo soti yon lavil al nan yon lòt.
35 Konsa, n'ap reskonsab san tout inonsan ki koule sou latè, depi san Abèl, nonm ki te fè sa ki byen devan Bondye a, jouk san Zakari, pitit Barachi, moun nou te ansasinen ant lòtèl la ak kote ki rezève apa pou Bondye nan tanp lan.
36 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Chatiman gen pou tonbe sou moun k'ap viv koulye a pou tout krim sa yo.
37 Jerizalèm, Jerizalèm, ou menm ki touye pwofèt yo, ou menm k'ap touye moun Bondye voye ba ou yo ak kout wòch, depi lontan mwen te vle sanble moun ou yo tankou manman poul k'ap sanble pitit li anba zèl li, men ou pa t' vle!
38 Enben, tout kay ou yo pral rete san yon moun ladan yo.
39 Paske, m'ap di ou sa: Depi jòdi a, nou p'ap wè m' ankò jouk lè a va rive pou nou di: Benediksyon pou Moun ki vini nan non Mèt la.
От Матфея 23
New Russian Translation
Иисус предостерегает от лицемерия(A)
23 Тогда Иисус сказал народу и Своим ученикам:
2 – Учители Закона и фарисеи заняли место Моисея. 3 Поэтому вы должны делать все, что они говорят, но делам их не подражайте, потому что они проповедуют одно, а делают другое. 4 Они взваливают на плечи людей непомерно тяжелые ноши, а сами и пальцем не пошевельнут, чтобы хоть чуть-чуть сдвинуть этот груз.
5 Они все делают напоказ: их коробочки становятся все шире, и кисточки на краях одежды – все длиннее[a]. 6 Им нравится занимать почетные места на пирах и в синагогах. 7 Они любят, когда их приветствуют на площадях и когда люди обращаются к ним: «Рабби[b]».
8 Вас же пусть не называют «рабби», потому что у вас один Рабби, а вы все – братья. 9 И ни к кому на земле не обращайтесь «отец», потому что у вас только один Отец, Который на небе[c]. 10 Пусть вас не называют наставниками, потому что у вас один только Наставник – Христос. 11 Самый великий из вас будет вам слугой, 12 потому что, кто возвышает себя, будет унижен, а кто принижает себя, будет возвышен.
Иисус обличает религиозных вождей(B)
13 Горе вам, учители Закона и фарисеи! Лицемеры! Вы закрываете от людей Небесное Царство, сами не входите в него и не даете войти тем, кто хочет. 14 Горе вам, учители Закона и фарисеи! Лицемеры! Вы разоряете дома вдов и напоказ долго молитесь. За это вас ждет самое суровое наказание.
15 Горе вам, учители Закона и фарисеи! Лицемеры! Вы проходите море и сушу, чтобы обратить хоть одного человека, а когда вы его обращаете, то делаете его вдвое больше достойным ада, чем вы сами.
16 Горе вам, слепые поводыри! Вы говорите: «Если кто поклянется храмом, это еще ничего не значит, но если кто поклянется золотом храма, то он связан своей клятвой». 17 Вы – слепые безумцы! Что важнее: золото или храм, освятивший золото? 18 Вы говорите: «Если кто поклянется жертвенником, то это еще ничего не значит, но если кто поклянется даром, принесенным на жертвенник, тот связан своей клятвой». 19 Слепцы! Что важнее, дар или жертвенник, который освящает дар? 20 Тот, кто поклялся жертвенником, поклялся и всем, что на жертвеннике, 21 и кто клянется храмом, клянется и Тем, Кто обитает в храме. 22 Кто клянется небом, клянется престолом Божьим и Тем, Кто сидит на нем.
23 Горе вам, учители Закона и фарисеи! Лицемеры! Вы даете десятую часть с мяты, укропа и тмина[d], а самым важным в Законе – справедливостью, милостью и верностью – вы пренебрегаете. И то нужно делать, и другого не оставлять. 24 Слепые поводыри! Вы отцеживаете комара из вашего питья, а верблюда проглатываете.
25 Горе вам, учители Закона и фарисеи! Лицемеры! Вы очищаете чашу и блюдо снаружи, но внутри они полны тем, что вы награбили в своей алчности и распущенности. 26 Слепой фарисей! Очисти сначала чашу и блюдо внутри, тогда и снаружи они станут чисты.
27 Горе вам, учители Закона и фарисеи! Лицемеры! Вы – как побеленные гробницы[e], которые снаружи выглядят красиво, а внутри полны костей мертвецов и всякой нечистоты. 28 Так и вы снаружи можете показаться людям праведными, но внутри вы полны лицемерия и беззакония.
29 Горе вам, учители Закона и фарисеи! Лицемеры! Вы строите гробницы пророкам, украшаете надгробные памятники праведникам 30 и говорите: «Если бы мы жили во времена наших отцов, то мы бы не проливали вместе с ними крови пророков». 31 Тем самым вы свидетельствуете о себе, что вы сыновья тех, кто убил пророков. 32 Ну что же, продолжайте пополнять чашу злодейств ваших отцов! 33 Змеи, отродье змеиное! Вы еще надеетесь избежать осуждения и не попасть в ад? 34 Вот, Я посылаю к вам пророков, мудрых людей, учителей, а вы некоторых из них убьете и распнете, других будете бичевать в ваших синагогах и гнать из города в город. 35 И потому падет на вас вина за кровь всех праведников, пролитую на земле, от крови Авеля и до крови Захарии, сына Берехии, которого вы убили между храмом и жертвенником. 36 Говорю вам истину: наказание за все эти преступления падет на нынешнее поколение.
Иисус оплакивает Иерусалим(C)
37 – О Иерусалим, Иерусалим, убивающий пророков и побивающий камнями посланных к тебе! Сколько раз Я хотел собрать твоих детей, как птица собирает своих птенцов под крылья, но вы не захотели! 38 А теперь ваш дом оставляется вам пустым[f]. 39 Говорю вам, что вы уже не увидите Меня до тех пор, пока не скажете: «Благословен Тот, Кто приходит во имя Господа!»[g]

- 23:5 Основываясь на словах Писания (Исх. 13:9, 16; Втор. 6:8; 11:18), иудеи во время молитвы привязывали ко лбу и на левую руку кожаные коробочки (филактерии) с текстами из Закона. Кроме того, они нашивали кисти на края своей верхней одежды (Чис. 15:37-41; Втор. 22:12). Такие кисти, по всей вероятности, носил и Сам Иисус Христос (см. 9:20; 14:36). Но фарисеи, желая показать всем свою особую набожность, чрезмерно увеличивали размеры своих филактерий и длину кистей на одежде.
- 23:7 То есть учитель.
- 23:9 Здесь нужно понять, что речь не идет о родных отцах, но о том, что мы никого не должны превозносить в своей среде, используя высокие религиозные титулы, саны и т. п.

Matthew 23
King James Version
23 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe 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 the child of hell than yourselves.
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And 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.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That 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 slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Matthew 23
Easy-to-Read Version
Jesus Criticizes the Religious Leaders(A)
23 Then Jesus spoke to the people and to his followers. He said, 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees have the authority to tell you what the Law of Moses says. 3 So you should obey them. Do everything they tell you to do. But their lives are not good examples for you to follow. They tell you to do things, but they don’t do those things themselves. 4 They make strict rules that are hard for people to obey. They try to force others to obey all their rules. But they themselves will not try to follow any of those rules.
5 “The only reason they do what they do is for other people to see them. They make the little Scripture boxes[a] they wear bigger and bigger. And they make the tassels[b] on their prayer clothes long enough for people to notice them. 6 These men love to have the places of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues. 7 They love for people to show respect to them in the marketplaces and to call them ‘Teacher.’
8 “But you must not be called ‘Teacher.’ You are all equal as brothers and sisters. You have only one Teacher. 9 And don’t call anyone on earth ‘Father.’ You have one Father. He is in heaven. 10 And you should not be called ‘Master.’ You have only one Master, the Messiah. 11 Whoever serves you like a servant is the greatest among you. 12 People who think they are better than others will be made humble. But people who humble themselves will be made great.
13 “It will be bad for you teachers of the law and you Pharisees! You are hypocrites! You close the way for people to enter God’s kingdom. You yourselves don’t enter, and you stop those who are trying to enter. 14 [c]
15 “It will be bad for you teachers of the law and you Pharisees! You are hypocrites. You travel across the seas and across different countries to find one person who will follow your ways. When you find that person, you make him worse than you are. And you are so bad that you belong in hell!
16 “It will be bad for you teachers of the law and you Pharisees! You guide the people, but you are blind. You say, ‘If anyone uses the name of the Temple to make a promise, that means nothing. But anyone who uses the gold that is in the Temple to make a promise must keep that promise.’ 17 You are blind fools! Can’t you see that the Temple is greater than the gold on it? It’s the Temple that makes the gold holy!
18 “And you say, ‘If anyone uses the altar to make a promise, that means nothing. But anyone who uses the gift on the altar to make a promise must keep that promise.’ 19 You are blind! Can’t you see that the altar is greater than any gift on it? It’s the altar that makes the gift holy! 20 Whoever uses the altar to make a promise is really using the altar and everything on the altar. 21 And anyone who uses the Temple to make a promise is really using the Temple and God, who lives in it. 22 Whoever uses heaven to make a promise is using God’s throne and the one who is seated on it.
23 “It will be bad for you teachers of the law and you Pharisees! You are hypocrites! You give God a tenth of the food you get, even your mint, dill, and cumin.[d] But you don’t obey the really important teachings of the law—being fair, showing mercy, and being faithful. These are the things you should do. And you should also continue to do those other things. 24 You guide the people, but you are blind! Think about a man picking a little fly out of his drink and then swallowing a camel! You are like that.[e]
25 “It will be bad for you teachers of the law and you Pharisees! You are hypocrites! You wash clean the outside of your cups and dishes. But inside they are full of what you got by cheating others and pleasing yourselves. 26 Pharisees, you are blind! First make the inside of the cup clean and good. Then the outside of the cup will also be clean.
27 “It will be bad for you teachers of the law and you Pharisees! You are hypocrites! You are like tombs that are painted white. Outside they look fine, but inside they are full of dead people’s bones and all kinds of filth. 28 It is the same with you. People look at you and think you are godly. But on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and evil.
29 “It will be bad for you teachers of the law and you Pharisees! You are hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets. And you show honor to the graves of the godly people who were killed. 30 And you say, ‘If we had lived during the time of our ancestors, we would not have helped them kill these prophets.’ 31 So you give proof that you are descendants of those who killed the prophets. 32 And you will finish the sin that your ancestors started!
33 “You are snakes! You are from a family of poisonous snakes! You will not escape God. You will all be judged guilty and go to hell! 34 So I tell you this: I send to you prophets and teachers who are wise and know the Scriptures. You will kill some of them. You will hang some of them on crosses. You will beat some of them in your synagogues. You will chase them from town to town.
35 “So you will be guilty for the death of all the good people who have been killed on earth. You will be guilty for the killing of that godly man Abel. And you will be guilty for the killing of Zechariah[f] son of Berachiah. He was killed between the Temple and the altar. You will be guilty for the killing of all the good people who lived between the time of Abel and the time of Zechariah. 36 Believe me when I say that all these things will happen to you people who are living now.
Jesus Warns the People of Jerusalem(B)
37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets. You stone to death those that God has sent to you. Many, many times I wanted to help your people. I wanted to gather them together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you did not let me. 38 Now your house will be left completely empty. 39 I tell you, you will not see me again until that time when you will say, ‘Welcome! God bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’[g]”

- Matthew 23:5 Scripture boxes Small leather boxes containing four important Scriptures. Some Jews tied these to the forehead and left arm to show their devotion to God and his word. Many Pharisees made these bigger to show that they were more religious than others.
- Matthew 23:5 tassels Decorations made from wool threads that hung down from the four corners of the clothing or prayer shawls worn by Jews. They were supposed to be reminders of God’s commands (see Num. 15:38-41).
- Matthew 23:14 Some Greek copies add verse 14: “It will be bad for you, teachers of the law and you Pharisees. You are hypocrites. You cheat widows and take their homes. Then you make long prayers so that people can see you. So you will have a worse punishment.” See Mk. 12:40; Lk. 20:47.
- Matthew 23:23 You give … cumin Literally, “You tithe mint, dill, and cumin.” The Law of Moses required Israelites to share their food supply by dedicating a tenth of their field crops and livestock to God (see Lev. 27:30-32; Deut. 26:12). This did not include such small garden plants as those mentioned here. So these Pharisees were giving more than required to be sure they were not breaking the Law.
- Matthew 23:24 You are like that Meaning “You worry about the smallest mistakes but commit the biggest sin.”
