Matthew, chapter 23 / Bible / Bibleox

1	Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples,
	Τότε-ο-Ιησοῦς-ελάλησεν-τοῖς-όχλοις-καὶ-τοῖς-μαθηταῖς-αυτοῦ-
2	saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
	λέγων-,-Επὶ-τῆς-Μωυσέως-καθέδρας-εκάθισαν-οι-γραμματεῖς-καὶ-οι-Φαρισαῖοι-.-
3	Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.
	πάντα-οῦν-όσα-εὰν-είπωσιν-υμῖν-ποιήσατε-καὶ-τηρεῖτε-,-κατὰ-δὲ-τὰ-έργα-αυτῶν-μὴ-ποιεῖτε-·-λέγουσιν-γὰρ-καὶ-ου-ποιοῦσιν-.-
4	For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
	δεσμεύουσιν-δὲ-φορτία-βαρέα-καὶ-επιτιθέασιν-επὶ-τοὺς-ώμους-τῶν-ανθρώπων-,-αυτοὶ-δὲ-τῶ-δακτύλω-αυτῶν-ου-θέλουσιν-κινῆσαι-αυτά-.-
5	But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.
	πάντα-δὲ-τὰ-έργα-αυτῶν-ποιοῦσιν-πρὸς-τὸ-θεαθῆναι-τοῖς-ανθρώποις-·-πλατύνουσιν-γὰρ-τὰ-φυλακτήρια-αυτῶν-καὶ-μεγαλύνουσιν-τὰ-κράσπεδα-,-
6	They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
	φιλοῦσιν-δὲ-τὴν-πρωτοκλισίαν-εν-τοῖς-δείπνοις-καὶ-τὰς-πρωτοκαθεδρίας-εν-ταῖς-συναγωγαῖς-
7	greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’
	καὶ-τοὺς-ασπασμοὺς-εν-ταῖς-αγοραῖς-καὶ-καλεῖσθαι-υπὸ-τῶν-ανθρώπων-,-Ραββί-.-
8	But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren.
	υμεῖς-δὲ-μὴ-κληθῆτε-,-Ραββί-,-εῖς-γάρ-εστιν-υμῶν-ο-διδάσκαλος-,-πάντες-δὲ-υμεῖς-αδελφοί-εστε-.-
9	Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
	καὶ-πατέρα-μὴ-καλέσητε-υμῖν-επὶ-τῆς-γῆς-,-εῖς-γάρ-εστιν-υμῶν-ο-πατὴρ-ο-ουράνιος-.-
10	And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.
	μηδὲ-κληθῆτε-καθηγηταί-,-ότι-καθηγητὴς-υμῶν-εστιν-εῖς-ο-Χριστός-.-
11	But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.
	ο-δὲ-μείζων-υμῶν-έσται-υμῶν-διάκονος-.-
12	And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
	όστις-δὲ-υψώσει-εαυτὸν-ταπεινωθήσεται-,-καὶ-όστις-ταπεινώσει-εαυτὸν-υψωθήσεται-.-
13	“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
	Ουαὶ-δὲ-υμῖν-,-γραμματεῖς-καὶ-Φαρισαῖοι-υποκριταί-,-ότι-κλείετε-τὴν-βασιλείαν-τῶν-ουρανῶν-έμπροσθεν-τῶν-ανθρώπων-·-υμεῖς-γὰρ-ουκ-εισέρχεσθε-,-ουδὲ-τοὺς-εισερχομένους-αφίετε-εισελθεῖν-.-
14	Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
	.-
15	“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.
	Ουαὶ-υμῖν-,-γραμματεῖς-καὶ-Φαρισαῖοι-υποκριταί-,-ότι-περιάγετε-τὴν-θάλασσαν-καὶ-τὴν-ξηρὰν-ποιῆσαι-ένα-προσήλυτον-,-καὶ-όταν-γένηται-ποιεῖτε-αυτὸν-υιὸν-γεέννης-διπλότερον-υμῶν-.-
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, he is obliged to perform it.’
	Ουαὶ-υμῖν-,-οδηγοὶ-τυφλοὶ-οι-λέγοντες-,-Ὸς-ὰν-ομόση-εν-τῶ-ναῶ-,-ουδέν-εστιν-·-ὸς-δ᾿-ὰν-ομόση-εν-τῶ-χρυσῶ-τοῦ-ναοῦ-οφείλει-.-
17	Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
	μωροὶ-καὶ-τυφλοί-,-τίς-γὰρ-μείζων-εστίν-,-ο-χρυσὸς-ὴ-ο-ναὸς-ο-αγιάσας-τὸν-χρυσόν-;-
18	And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’
	καί-,-Ὸς-ὰν-ομόση-εν-τῶ-θυσιαστηρίω-,-ουδέν-εστιν-·-ὸς-δ᾿-ὰν-ομόση-εν-τῶ-δώρω-τῶ-επάνω-αυτοῦ-οφείλει-.-
19	Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
	τυφλοί-,-τί-γὰρ-μεῖζον-,-τὸ-δῶρον-ὴ-τὸ-θυσιαστήριον-τὸ-αγιάζον-τὸ-δῶρον-;-
20	Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it.
	ο-οῦν-ομόσας-εν-τῶ-θυσιαστηρίω-ομνύει-εν-αυτῶ-καὶ-εν-πᾶσι-τοῖς-επάνω-αυτοῦ-·-
21	He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells in it.
	καὶ-ο-ομόσας-εν-τῶ-ναῶ-ομνύει-εν-αυτῶ-καὶ-εν-τῶ-κατοικοῦντι-αυτόν-·-
22	And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.
	καὶ-ο-ομόσας-εν-τῶ-ουρανῶ-ομνύει-εν-τῶ-θρόνω-τοῦ-θεοῦ-καὶ-εν-τῶ-καθημένω-επάνω-αυτοῦ-.-
23	“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.
	Ουαὶ-υμῖν-,-γραμματεῖς-καὶ-Φαρισαῖοι-υποκριταί-,-ότι-αποδεκατοῦτε-τὸ-ηδύοσμον-καὶ-τὸ-άνηθον-καὶ-τὸ-κύμινον-,-καὶ-αφήκατε-τὰ-βαρύτερα-τοῦ-νόμου-,-τὴν-κρίσιν-καὶ-τὸ-έλεος-καὶ-τὴν-πίστιν-·-ταῦτα-[-δὲ-]-έδει-ποιῆσαι-κακεῖνα-μὴ-αφιέναι-.-
24	Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
	οδηγοὶ-τυφλοί-,-οι-διυλίζοντες-τὸν-κώνωπα-τὴν-δὲ-κάμηλον-καταπίνοντες-.-
25	“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.
	Ουαὶ-υμῖν-,-γραμματεῖς-καὶ-Φαρισαῖοι-υποκριταί-,-ότι-καθαρίζετε-τὸ-έξωθεν-τοῦ-ποτηρίου-καὶ-τῆς-παροψίδος-,-έσωθεν-δὲ-γέμουσιν-εξ-αρπαγῆς-καὶ-ακρασίας-.-
26	Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.
	Φαρισαῖε-τυφλέ-,-καθάρισον-πρῶτον-τὸ-εντὸς-τοῦ-ποτηρίου-,-ίνα-γένηται-καὶ-τὸ-εκτὸς-αυτοῦ-καθαρόν-.-
27	“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.
	Ουαὶ-υμῖν-,-γραμματεῖς-καὶ-Φαρισαῖοι-υποκριταί-,-ότι-παρομοιάζετε-τάφοις-κεκονιαμένοις-,-οίτινες-έξωθεν-μὲν-φαίνονται-ωραῖοι-έσωθεν-δὲ-γέμουσιν-οστέων-νεκρῶν-καὶ-πάσης-ακαθαρσίας-.-
28	Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
	ούτως-καὶ-υμεῖς-έξωθεν-μὲν-φαίνεσθε-τοῖς-ανθρώποις-δίκαιοι-,-έσωθεν-δέ-εστε-μεστοὶ-υποκρίσεως-καὶ-ανομίας-.-
29	“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,
	Ουαὶ-υμῖν-,-γραμματεῖς-καὶ-Φαρισαῖοι-υποκριταί-,-ότι-οικοδομεῖτε-τοὺς-τάφους-τῶν-προφητῶν-καὶ-κοσμεῖτε-τὰ-μνημεῖα-τῶν-δικαίων-,-
30	and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
	καὶ-λέγετε-,-Ει-ήμεθα-εν-ταῖς-ημέραις-τῶν-πατέρων-ημῶν-,-ουκ-ὰν-ήμεθα-αυτῶν-κοινωνοὶ-εν-τῶ-αίματι-τῶν-προφητῶν-.-
31	“Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.
	ώστε-μαρτυρεῖτε-εαυτοῖς-ότι-υιοί-εστε-τῶν-φονευσάντων-τοὺς-προφήτας-.-
32	Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt.
	καὶ-υμεῖς-πληρώσατε-τὸ-μέτρον-τῶν-πατέρων-υμῶν-.-
33	Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?
	όφεις-γεννήματα-εχιδνῶν-,-πῶς-φύγητε-απὸ-τῆς-κρίσεως-τῆς-γεέννης-;-
34	Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, 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,
	διὰ-τοῦτο-ιδοὺ-εγὼ-αποστέλλω-πρὸς-υμᾶς-προφήτας-καὶ-σοφοὺς-καὶ-γραμματεῖς-·-εξ-αυτῶν-αποκτενεῖτε-καὶ-σταυρώσετε-,-καὶ-εξ-αυτῶν-μαστιγώσετε-εν-ταῖς-συναγωγαῖς-υμῶν-καὶ-διώξετε-απὸ-πόλεως-εις-πόλιν-·-
35	that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
	όπως-έλθη-εφ᾿-υμᾶς-πᾶν-αῖμα-δίκαιον-εκχυννόμενον-επὶ-τῆς-γῆς-απὸ-τοῦ-αίματος-Άβελ-τοῦ-δικαίου-έως-τοῦ-αίματος-Ζαχαρίου-υιοῦ-Βαραχίου-,-ὸν-εφονεύσατε-μεταξὺ-τοῦ-ναοῦ-καὶ-τοῦ-θυσιαστηρίου-.-
36	Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
	αμὴν-λέγω-υμῖν-,-ήξει-ταῦτα-πάντα-επὶ-τὴν-γενεὰν-ταύτην-.-
37	“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
	Ιερουσαλὴμ-Ιερουσαλήμ-,-η-αποκτείνουσα-τοὺς-προφήτας-καὶ-λιθοβολοῦσα-τοὺς-απεσταλμένους-πρὸς-αυτήν-,-ποσάκις-ηθέλησα-επισυναγαγεῖν-τὰ-τέκνα-σου-,-ὸν-τρόπον-όρνις-επισυνάγει-τὰ-νοσσία-αυτῆς-υπὸ-τὰς-πτέρυγας-,-καὶ-ουκ-ηθελήσατε-.-
38	See! Your house is left to you desolate;
	ιδοὺ-αφίεται-υμῖν-ο-οῖκος-υμῶν-έρημος-.-
39	for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’ ”
