1

अनन्तरं यीशु र्जननिवहं शिष्यांश्चावदत्,

anantaraṁ yīśu rjananivahaṁ śiṣyāṁścāvadat,

Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2

अध्यापकाः फिरूशिनश्च मूसासने उपविशन्ति,

adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca mūsāsane upaviśanti,

Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:
3

अतस्ते युष्मान् यद्यत् मन्तुम् आज्ञापयन्ति, तत् मन्यध्वं पालयध्वञ्च, किन्तु तेषां कर्म्मानुरूपं कर्म्म न कुरुध्वं; यतस्तेषां वाक्यमात्रं सारं कार्य्ये किमपि नास्ति।

ataste yuṣmān yadyat mantum ājñāpayanti, tat manyadhvaṁ pālayadhvañca, kintu teṣāṁ karmmānurūpaṁ karmma na kurudhvaṁ; yatasteṣāṁ vākyamātraṁ sāraṁ kāryye kimapi nāsti|

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

ते दुर्व्वहान् गुरुतरान् भारान् बद्व्वा मनुष्याणां स्कन्धेपरि समर्पयन्ति, किन्तु स्वयमङ्गुल्यैकयापि न चालयन्ति।

te durvvahān gurutarān bhārān badvvā manuṣyāṇāṁ skandhepari samarpayanti, kintu svayamaṅgulyaikayāpi na cālayanti|

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

केवलं लोकदर्शनाय सर्व्वकर्म्माणि कुर्व्वन्ति; फलतः पट्टबन्धान् प्रसार्य्य धारयन्ति, स्ववस्त्रेषु च दीर्घग्रन्थीन् धारयन्ति;

kevalaṁ lokadarśanāya sarvvakarmmāṇi kurvvanti; phalataḥ paṭṭabandhān prasāryya dhārayanti, svavastreṣu ca dīrghagranthīn dhārayanti;

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

भोजनभवन उच्चस्थानं, भजनभवने प्रधानमासनं,

bhojanabhavana uccasthānaṁ, bhajanabhavane pradhānamāsanaṁ,

And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7

हट्ठे नमस्कारं गुरुरिति सम्बोधनञ्चैतानि सर्व्वाणि वाञ्छन्ति।

haṭṭhe namaskāraṁ gururiti sambodhanañcaitāni sarvvāṇi vāñchanti|

And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8

किन्तु यूयं गुरव इति सम्बोधनीया मा भवत, यतो युष्माकम् एकः ख्रीष्टएव गुरु

kintu yūyaṁ gurava iti sambodhanīyā mā bhavata, yato yuṣmākam ekaḥ khrīṣṭaeva guru

But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9

र्यूयं सर्व्वे मिथो भ्रातरश्च। पुनः पृथिव्यां कमपि पितेति मा सम्बुध्यध्वं, यतो युष्माकमेकः स्वर्गस्थएव पिता।

ryūyaṁ sarvve mitho bhrātaraśca| punaḥ pṛthivyāṁ kamapi piteti mā sambudhyadhvaṁ, yato yuṣmākamekaḥ svargasthaeva pitā|

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10

यूयं नायकेति सम्भाषिता मा भवत, यतो युष्माकमेकः ख्रीष्टएव नायकः।

yūyaṁ nāyaketi sambhāṣitā mā bhavata, yato yuṣmākamekaḥ khrīṣṭaeva nāyakaḥ|

Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
11

अपरं युष्माकं मध्ये यः पुमान् श्रेष्ठः स युष्मान् सेविष्यते।

aparaṁ yuṣmākaṁ madhye yaḥ pumān śreṣṭhaḥ sa yuṣmān seviṣyate|

But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12

यतो यः स्वमुन्नमति, स नतः करिष्यते; किन्तु यः कश्चित् स्वमवनतं करोति, स उन्नतः करिष्यते।

yato yaḥ svamunnamati, sa nataḥ kariṣyate; kintu yaḥ kaścit svamavanataṁ karoti, sa unnataḥ kariṣyate|

And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13

हन्त कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च, यूयं मनुजानां समक्षं स्वर्गद्वारं रुन्ध, यूयं स्वयं तेन न प्रविशथ, प्रविविक्षूनपि वारयथ। वत कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च यूयं छलाद् दीर्घं प्रार्थ्य विधवानां सर्व्वस्वं ग्रसथ, युष्माकं घोरतरदण्डो भविष्यति।

hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ manujānāṁ samakṣaṁ svargadvāraṁ rundha, yūyaṁ svayaṁ tena na praviśatha, pravivikṣūnapi vārayatha| vata kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca yūyaṁ chalād dīrghaṁ prārthya vidhavānāṁ sarvvasvaṁ grasatha, yuṣmākaṁ ghorataradaṇḍo bhaviṣyati|

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

हन्त कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च, यूयमेकं स्वधर्म्मावलम्बिनं कर्त्तुं सागरं भूमण्डलञ्च प्रदक्षिणीकुरुथ,

hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyamekaṁ svadharmmāvalambinaṁ karttuṁ sāgaraṁ bhūmaṇḍalañca pradakṣiṇīkurutha,

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

कञ्चन प्राप्य स्वतो द्विगुणनरकभाजनं तं कुरुथ।

kañcana prāpya svato dviguṇanarakabhājanaṁ taṁ kurutha|

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

वत अन्धपथदर्शकाः सर्व्वे, यूयं वदथ, मन्दिरस्य शपथकरणात् किमपि न देयं; किन्तु मन्दिरस्थसुवर्णस्य शपथकरणाद् देयं।

vata andhapathadarśakāḥ sarvve, yūyaṁ vadatha, mandirasya śapathakaraṇāt kimapi na deyaṁ; kintu mandirasthasuvarṇasya śapathakaraṇād deyaṁ|

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

हे मूढा हे अन्धाः सुवर्णं तत्सुवर्णपावकमन्दिरम् एतयोरुभयो र्मध्ये किं श्रेयः?

he mūḍhā he andhāḥ suvarṇaṁ tatsuvarṇapāvakamandiram etayorubhayo rmadhye kiṁ śreyaḥ?

Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18

अन्यच्च वदथ, यज्ञवेद्याः शपथकरणात् किमपि न देयं, किन्तु तदुपरिस्थितस्य नैवेद्यस्य शपथकरणाद् देयं।

anyacca vadatha, yajñavedyāḥ śapathakaraṇāt kimapi na deyaṁ, kintu taduparisthitasya naivedyasya śapathakaraṇād deyaṁ|

And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19

हे मूढा हे अन्धाः, नैवेद्यं तन्नैवेद्यपावकवेदिरेतयोरुभयो र्मध्ये किं श्रेयः?

he mūḍhā he andhāḥ, naivedyaṁ tannaivedyapāvakavediretayorubhayo rmadhye kiṁ śreyaḥ?

Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20

अतः केनचिद् यज्ञवेद्याः शपथे कृते तदुपरिस्थस्य सर्व्वस्य शपथः क्रियते।

ataḥ kenacid yajñavedyāḥ śapathe kṛte taduparisthasya sarvvasya śapathaḥ kriyate|

Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21

केनचित् मन्दिरस्य शपथे कृते मन्दिरतन्निवासिनोः शपथः क्रियते।

kenacit mandirasya śapathe kṛte mandiratannivāsinoḥ śapathaḥ kriyate|

And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22

केनचित् स्वर्गस्य शपथे कृते ईश्वरीयसिंहासनतदुपर्य्युपविष्टयोः शपथः क्रियते।

kenacit svargasya śapathe kṛte īśvarīyasiṁhāsanataduparyyupaviṣṭayoḥ śapathaḥ kriyate|

And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23

हन्त कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च, यूयं पोदिनायाः सितच्छत्राया जीरकस्य च दशमांशान् दत्थ, किन्तु व्यवस्थाया गुरुतरान् न्यायदयाविश्वासान् परित्यजथ; इमे युष्माभिराचरणीया अमी च न लंघनीयाः।

hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ podināyāḥ sitacchatrāyā jīrakasya ca daśamāṁśān dattha, kintu vyavasthāyā gurutarān nyāyadayāviśvāsān parityajatha; ime yuṣmābhirācaraṇīyā amī ca na laṁghanīyāḥ|

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

हे अन्धपथदर्शका यूयं मशकान् अपसारयथ, किन्तु महाङ्गान् ग्रसथ।

he andhapathadarśakā yūyaṁ maśakān apasārayatha, kintu mahāṅgān grasatha|

Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25

हन्त कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च, यूयं पानपात्राणां भोजनपात्राणाञ्च बहिः परिष्कुरुथ; किन्तु तदभ्यन्तरं दुरात्मतया कलुषेण च परिपूर्णमास्ते।

hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ pānapātrāṇāṁ bhojanapātrāṇāñca bahiḥ pariṣkurutha; kintu tadabhyantaraṁ durātmatayā kaluṣeṇa ca paripūrṇamāste|

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

हे अन्धाः फिरूशिलोका आदौ पानपात्राणां भोजनपात्राणाञ्चाभ्यन्तरं परिष्कुरुत, तेन तेषां बहिरपि परिष्कारिष्यते।

he andhāḥ phirūśilokā ādau pānapātrāṇāṁ bhojanapātrāṇāñcābhyantaraṁ pariṣkuruta, tena teṣāṁ bahirapi pariṣkāriṣyate|

Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27

हन्त कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च, यूयं शुक्लीकृतश्मशानस्वरूपा भवथ, यथा श्मशानभवनस्य बहिश्चारु, किन्त्वभ्यन्तरं मृतलोकानां कीकशैः सर्व्वप्रकारमलेन च परिपूर्णम्;

hanta kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ śuklīkṛtaśmaśānasvarūpā bhavatha, yathā śmaśānabhavanasya bahiścāru, kintvabhyantaraṁ mṛtalokānāṁ kīkaśaiḥ sarvvaprakāramalena ca paripūrṇam;

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

तथैव यूयमपि लोकानां समक्षं बहिर्धार्म्मिकाः किन्त्वन्तःकरणेषु केवलकापट्याधर्म्माभ्यां परिपूर्णाः।

tathaiva yūyamapi lokānāṁ samakṣaṁ bahirdhārmmikāḥ kintvantaḥkaraṇeṣu kevalakāpaṭyādharmmābhyāṁ paripūrṇāḥ|

Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29

हा हा कपटिन उपाध्यायाः फिरूशिनश्च, यूयं भविष्यद्वादिनां श्मशानगेहं निर्म्माथ, साधूनां श्मशाननिकेतनं शोभयथ

hā hā kapaṭina upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca, yūyaṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ śmaśānagehaṁ nirmmātha, sādhūnāṁ śmaśānaniketanaṁ śobhayatha

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30

वदथ च यदि वयं स्वेषां पूर्व्वपुरुषाणां काल अस्थास्याम, तर्हि भविष्यद्वादिनां शोणितपातने तेषां सहभागिनो नाभविष्याम।

vadatha ca yadi vayaṁ sveṣāṁ pūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ kāla asthāsyāma, tarhi bhaviṣyadvādināṁ śoṇitapātane teṣāṁ sahabhāgino nābhaviṣyāma|

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

अतो यूयं भविष्यद्वादिघातकानां सन्ताना इति स्वयमेव स्वेषां साक्ष्यं दत्थ।

ato yūyaṁ bhaviṣyadvādighātakānāṁ santānā iti svayameva sveṣāṁ sākṣyaṁ dattha|

Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32

अतो यूयं निजपूर्व्वपुरुषाणां परिमाणपात्रं परिपूरयत।

ato yūyaṁ nijapūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ parimāṇapātraṁ paripūrayata|

Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33

रे भुजगाः कृष्णभुजगवंशाः, यूयं कथं नरकदण्डाद् रक्षिष्यध्वे।

re bhujagāḥ kṛṣṇabhujagavaṁśāḥ, yūyaṁ kathaṁ narakadaṇḍād rakṣiṣyadhve|

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34

पश्यत, युष्माकमन्तिकम् अहं भविष्यद्वादिनो बुद्धिमत उपाध्यायांश्च प्रेषयिष्यामि, किन्तु तेषां कतिपया युष्माभि र्घानिष्यन्ते, क्रुशे च घानिष्यन्ते, केचिद् भजनभवने कषाभिराघानिष्यन्ते, नगरे नगरे ताडिष्यन्ते च;

paśyata, yuṣmākamantikam ahaṁ bhaviṣyadvādino buddhimata upādhyāyāṁśca preṣayiṣyāmi, kintu teṣāṁ katipayā yuṣmābhi rghāniṣyante, kruśe ca ghāniṣyante, kecid bhajanabhavane kaṣābhirāghāniṣyante, nagare nagare tāḍiṣyante ca;

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

तेन सत्पुरुषस्य हाबिलो रक्तपातमारभ्य बेरिखियः पुत्रं यं सिखरियं यूयं मन्दिरयज्ञवेद्यो र्मध्ये हतवन्तः, तदीयशोणितपातं यावद् अस्मिन् देशे यावतां साधुपुरुषाणां शोणितपातो ऽभवत् तत् सर्व्वेषामागसां दण्डा युष्मासु वर्त्तिष्यन्ते।

tena satpuruṣasya hābilo raktapātamārabhya berikhiyaḥ putraṁ yaṁ sikhariyaṁ yūyaṁ mandirayajñavedyo rmadhye hatavantaḥ, tadīyaśoṇitapātaṁ yāvad asmin deśe yāvatāṁ sādhupuruṣāṇāṁ śoṇitapāto 'bhavat tat sarvveṣāmāgasāṁ daṇḍā yuṣmāsu varttiṣyante|

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

अहं युष्मान्त तथ्यं वदामि, विद्यमानेऽस्मिन् पुरुषे सर्व्वे वर्त्तिष्यन्ते।

ahaṁ yuṣmānta tathyaṁ vadāmi, vidyamāne'smin puruṣe sarvve varttiṣyante|

Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37

हे यिरूशालम् हे यिरूशालम् नगरि त्वं भविष्यद्वादिनो हतवती, तव समीपं प्रेरितांश्च पाषाणैराहतवती, यथा कुक्कुटी शावकान् पक्षाधः संगृह्लाति, तथा तव सन्तानान् संग्रहीतुं अहं बहुवारम् ऐच्छं; किन्तु त्वं न सममन्यथाः।

he yirūśālam he yirūśālam nagari tvaṁ bhaviṣyadvādino hatavatī, tava samīpaṁ preritāṁśca pāṣāṇairāhatavatī, yathā kukkuṭī śāvakān pakṣādhaḥ saṁgṛhlāti, tathā tava santānān saṁgrahītuṁ ahaṁ bahuvāram aicchaṁ; kintu tvaṁ na samamanyathāḥ|

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

पश्यत यष्माकं वासस्थानम् उच्छिन्नं त्यक्ष्यते।

paśyata yaṣmākaṁ vāsasthānam ucchinnaṁ tyakṣyate|

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39

अहं युष्मान् तथ्यं वदामि, यः परमेश्वरस्य नाम्नागच्छति, स धन्य इति वाणीं यावन्न वदिष्यथ, तावत् मां पुन र्न द्रक्ष्यथ।

ahaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi, yaḥ parameśvarasya nāmnāgacchati, sa dhanya iti vāṇīṁ yāvanna vadiṣyatha, tāvat māṁ puna rna drakṣyatha|

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.
