Jesus Condemns the Pharisees and the Teachers of the Law of Moses
(Mark 12.38-40Luke 11.37-52Luke 20.45-47)1 Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
2 The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law are experts in the Law of Moses. 3 So obey everything they teach you, but don't do as they do. After all, they say one thing and do something else.
4 They pile heavy burdens on people's shoulders and won't lift a finger to help. 5 Everything they do is just to show off in front of others. They even make a big show of wearing Scripture verses on their foreheads and arms, and they wear big tassels for everyone to see. 6 They love the best seats at banquets and the front seats in the synagogues. 7 And when they are in the market, they like to have people greet them as their teachers.
8 But none of you should be called a teacher. You have only one teacher, and all of you are like brothers and sisters. 9 Don't call anyone on earth your father. All of you have the same Father in heaven. 10 None of you should be called the leader. The Messiah is your only leader. 11 Whoever is the greatest should be the servant of the others. 12 If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honored.
13-14 You Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses are in for trouble! You're nothing but show-offs. You lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. You won't go in yourselves, and you keep others from going in.
15 You Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses are in for trouble! You're nothing but show-offs. You travel over land and sea to win one follower. And when you have done so, you make that person twice as fit for hell as you are.
16 You are in for trouble! You are supposed to lead others, but you are blind. You teach that it doesn't matter if a person swears by the temple. But you say it does matter if someone swears by the gold in the temple. 17 You blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
18 You also teach that it doesn't matter if a person swears by the altar. But you say it does matter if someone swears by the gift on the altar. 19 Are you blind? Which is more important, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Anyone who swears by the altar also swears by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple also swears by God, who lives there. 22 To swear by heaven is the same as swearing by God's throne and by the one who sits on that throne.
23 You Pharisees and teachers are show-offs, and you're in for trouble! You give God a tenth of the spices from your garden, such as mint, dill, and cumin. Yet you neglect the more important matters of the Law, such as justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These are the important things you should have done, though you should not have left the others undone either. 24 You blind leaders! You strain out a small fly but swallow a camel.
25 You Pharisees and teachers are show-offs, and you're in for trouble! You wash the outside of your cups and dishes, while inside there is nothing but greed and selfishness. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of a cup, and then the outside will also be clean.
27 You Pharisees and teachers are in for trouble! You're nothing but show-offs. You're like tombs that have been whitewashed. On the outside they are beautiful, but inside they are full of bones and filth. 28 That's what you are like. Outside you look good, but inside you are evil and only pretend to be good.
29 You Pharisees and teachers are nothing but show-offs, and you're in for trouble! You build monuments for the prophets and decorate the tombs of good people. 30 And you claim you would not have taken part with your ancestors in killing the prophets. 31 But you prove you really are the relatives of the ones who killed the prophets. 32 So keep on doing everything they did. 33 You are nothing but snakes and the children of snakes! How can you escape going to hell?
34 I will send to you prophets and wise people and experts in the Law of Moses. You will kill them or nail them to a cross or beat them in your synagogues or chase them from town to town. 35 That's why you will be held guilty for the murder of every good person, beginning with the good man Abel. This also includes Barachiah's son Zechariah, the man you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 I can promise that you people living today will be punished for all these things!
Jesus Loves Jerusalem
(Luke 13.34Luke 35)37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Your people have killed the prophets and have stoned the messengers who were sent to you. I have often wanted to gather your people, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you wouldn't let me. 38 And now your temple will be deserted. 39 You won't see me again until you say,
“Blessed is the one who comes
in the name of the Lord.”

Breidynōjums pret rarizejim.
1 Tad Jezus runōja ļaužu pulkim un sovim mōceklim, 2 saceidams:
Rokstim mōceitī un farizeji sēd Moizeša krāslā. 3 Tū vysu, kū jī jums pīsaceis, dorit un izpiļdit, bet poši tai, kai tī dora, nadorit. Jī gon mōca, bet poši napylda. 4 Jī sīn gryutas, napanasamas nostas un līk jōs cylvākim uz placim, bet poši pat ar pērstu nagrib tūs kustynōt. 5 Vysus sovus dorbus dora tikai tōdēļ, lai pasarōdeitu ļaudim. Tai jī nosoj plotas pōtoru jūstas, pagarynōdami viņu strēmeles. 6 Mīļoj ījimt pi vīsu golda pyrmōs vītas un synagogōs augstōkūs krāslus. 7 Grib, ka jūs sveicynōtu atklōtūs laukumūs un sauktu par mōceitōjim.
8 Bet jyus naļaunit sevis saukt par mōceitōjim, jo tikai vīns ir jums mōceitōjs, jyus, turpretim, visi asat brōli. 9 Ari ni vīna nu jums vērs zemes nasaucit par tāvu, jo tikai vīns ir jums Tāvs, kas ir dabasūs. 10 Tai pat naļaunit sevis saukt par skūlōtōjim, jo tikai vīns ir jums skūlōtōjs: Kristus. 11 Tam, kas ir storp jums pats lelōkais, jōbyun jyusu kolpam. 12 Jo tys, kas pats sevi augstynoj, tops pazamynōts, bet kas sevi pazamynoj, tops paaugstynōts.
Draudi farizejim un Rokstim mōceitim.
13 Bāda jums, Rokstim mōceitī un farizeji‐lī‐kuli! Jyus tokš aizslādzat ļaudim dabasu vaļsteibu. Jyus ni poši jamā ejat, ni laižat tūs īt, kas grybātu īīt.
14 Bāda jums, Rokstim mōceitī un farizeji‐lī‐kuli! Jyus, garas lyugšonas skaiteidami, rejat atraitņu montu, tōdēļ jyus sajemsit bōrgu sūdu.
15 Bāda jums, Rokstim mōceitī un farizeji‐lī‐kuli! Jyus pōrejat sausu zemi un jyuru, lai īgyut sev kaut vīnu pīkritēju, un, jo ir īgyuts, tad jū padorat par eļnes dālu divi reizes ļaunōku, kai poši.
16 Bāda jums, oklūs vodūni, kas sokat: Jo kas pīzvērej svētneicai, tys nava nikas; bet jo kas pīzvērej svētneicas zaltam, tam zvārasts ir jōizpylda. 17 Jyus esit bezprōteigi un okli! Kas gon ir svareigōks: Zalts, vai svētneica, kas zaltu svētej? 18 Tōļōk: Kas pīzvērej oltoram, tys nav nikas; bet kas pīzvērej upurātai dōvonai, kas ir vērs oltora, tam zvārasts ir jōizpylda. 19 Oklī, kas tad ir svareigōks: dōvona vai oltors, kas jū svētej? 20 Zvārādams oltoram, tokš pīzvērej jam un vysam, kas uz jō atsarūn. 21 Zvārādams svētneicai, pīzvērej jai un vysam tam, kas jamā atsarūn. 22 Kas zvērej dabasim, tys zvērej Dīva krāslam un Tam, kas jamā sēd.
23 Bāda jums, Rokstim mōceitī un farizeji‐lī‐kuli! Jyus gon dūdat dasmytū daļu nu mātrom, diļlem un kiminim, bet aplaižat lykumā tū, kas ir vyssvareigōkais: taisneibu, žāļsirdeibu un ticeibu. Tys gon dorams, bet ari šytys nav aplaižams. 24 Oklūs vodūni! Jyus izkōšat ūdu, bet nūrejat kameli.
25 Bāda jums, Rokstim mōceitī un farizeji‐lī‐kuli, jo bikera un bļūdas ōrpusi jyus teirejat, bet īkšā asat piļni laupeišonas un nasōteibas. 26 Oklais farizej, izteirej pyrmōk bikera un bļūdas īkšpusi, tad ari ōrpuse byus teira.
27 Bāda jums, Rokstim mōceitī un farizeji‐lī‐kuli, jo jyus asat leidzeigi balsynōtam kopam, kurs nu ōrpuses izalīk skaists, bet īkšā ir pylns myrūņa kaulu un vysaidas nateireibas. 28 Tai pat ari jyus nu ōrpuses izalīkat ļaudim taisneigi, bet īkšpusē asat piļni līkuleibas un nataisneibas.
29 Bāda jums, Rokstim mōceitī un farizeji‐lī‐kuli! Jyus byuvejat pravīšim kapenes, puškojat taisneigū pīminekļus un sokat: 30 Jo mes byutu dzeivōjuši myusu tāvu laikūs, mes nabyutu paleidzējuši jim pi pravīšu ašņa līšonas. 31 Ar šū jyus poši aplīcynojat, ka jyus asat pravīšu slapkovu dāli. 32 Un pīpyldat sovu tāvu māru.
33 Jyus čyusku un ūdžu dzymums! Kai jyus izbēgsit nu eļnes sūda? 34 Tōpēc, raug, Es jums syutu pravīšus, gudrūs un Rokstim mōceitūs. Cytus nu tim jyus nūnōvēset, un krystā pakōrset; cytus otkon šausteiset sovōs synagogōs un nu mīsta mīstā vojōset. 35 Tai tad uz jums guļsīs vyss taisneigūs asnis, kas ir vērs zemes izlīts, īsōcūt nu taisneigō Abeļa ašņa leidz Barachija dāla Zacharija ašņam, kuru jyus storp svētneicu un oltori nūnōvējot. 36 Patīši, Es jums soku: tys vyss guļsīs uz šytō dzymuma.
Pōrmatumi Jeruzalemai.
37 Jeruzalem, Jeruzalem! Tu nūnōvej pravīšus un ar akminim nūmātoj tūs, kuri ir syuteiti uz tevi! Cik reižu Es gribēju savōkt tovus bārnus, kai vysta zam sovim spōrnim savōc sovus cōlānus, bet jyus nagribējot! 38 Raug, jyusu mōja izniks. 39 Jo Es jums soku: Jyus Manis vairs naredzēset, koleidz saceiset: Svēteigs Tys, kas nōk Kunga vōrdā.
