| [1]In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. |
[1]AND when [there] had gathered [by] myriads great assemblies, so that they would have trodden upon one another, Jeshu began to say to his disciples, Beware for yourselves before all thingsⓘ of the leaven of the Pharishee, which is hypocrisy. |
| [2]For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. |
[2]For nothing is hidden which shall not be revealed, and nothing secreted which shall not be made known. |
| [3]Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. |
[3]For all that you say in darknesses in the light shall be heard, and what you whisper in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the housetops. |
| [4]And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. |
[4]But I say to you, my beloved ones, Fear not them who kill the body, and who afterward can do nothing more; |
| [5]But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. |
[5]But I will show you whom you shall fear;ⓘ Him who, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into gihana, yes, I say to you, Fear this [one]. |
| [6]Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? |
[6]Are not five sparrows sold for two asorin;ⓘ and one of them is not forgotten before Aloha. |
| [7]But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. |
[7]But of you, the numbers of the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; than many sparrows more precious are you. |
| [8]Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: |
[8]But I tell you that every one who shall confess me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of Aloha. |
| [9]But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. |
[9]But he who denieth me before men, I will deny him before the angels of Aloha. |
| [10]And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. |
[10]And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him; but whoever against the Spirit of Holiness shall blaspheme, it shall not be forgiven him. |
| [11]And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: |
[11]And when they bring you into the synagogues, before heads and authorities, be not anxious how you shall express yourselves,ⓘ or what you shall say; |
| [12]For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. |
[12]For the Spirit of Holiness will teach you in that hour what you ought to say. |
| [13]And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. |
[13]AND a man from the assembly said to him, Malphona, tell my brother to divide with me the inheritance. |
| [14]And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? |
[14]But Jeshu said to him, Man, who established me over you a judge and a divider? |
| [15]And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. |
[15]And he said to his disciples, Beware of all avarice: for life is not in the abundance of riches. |
| [16]And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: |
[16]And he spake a parable to them: The ground of a certain rich man produced him much provisions. |
| [17]And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? |
[17]And he thought within himself, and said, What shall I do? for I have not where to collect my provisions. |
| [18]And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. |
[18]And he said, This will I do: I will destroy my house of stores, and will build and enlarge it; and there will I collect all my provender and my good things: |
| [19]And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. |
[19]And I will say to my soul, My soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years: be at ease, eat, drink, and be merry. |
| [20]But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? |
[20]But Aloha said to him, Reasonless [man]!ⓘ this night thy soul they shall require of thee; and then, [the things] which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? |
| [21]So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. |
[21]So is he who layeth up to himself treasures, and towards Aloha is not rich. |
| [22]And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. |
[22]And he said to his disciples, Therefore I tell you, Be not anxious for yourselves, what you shall eat; neither for the body, how you shall dress: |
| [23]The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. |
[23]For the soul is more precious than food, and the body than raiment. |
| [24]Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? |
[24]Consider the ravens, which sow not nor reap, which have no chambers or barns, yet Aloha feeds them. How much, therefore, are you better than the fowls! |
| [25]And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? |
[25]And which of you by being anxious could add to his stature one cubit? |
| [26]If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? |
[26]But if indeed you are not capable of [that which is] the least, why concerning the rest are you anxious? |
| [27]Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. |
[27]Consider the lilies, how they grow, which toil not nor spin; but I tell you that even Shelemun in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. |
| [28]If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? |
[28]But if the herbage, which today is in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace, Aloha thus clothes, how much more you, little in faith! |
| [29]And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. |
[29]And seek you not what you shall eat, and what you shall drink; nor let your mind be distracted for these: |
| [30]For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. |
[30]For all these the nations of the world seek; but to you also your Father knoweth that these are needful. |
| [31]But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. |
[31]But seek the kingdom of Aloha, and these all shall be added to you. |
| [32]Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. |
[32]FEAR not, little flock; for your Father hath willed to give you the kingdom. |
| [33]Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. |
[33]Sell your substance, and give alms: make to you bags which become not old, and a treasure which is not transient, in the heavens, where the thief does not approach, and the moth destroys not. |
| [34]For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. |
[34]For where your treasure is, there will be also your heart. |
| [35]Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; |
[35]Let your loins be bound, and your lamps be burning, |
| [36]And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. |
[36]And be you like men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the place of festivity, that, when he hath come and knocked, immediately they may open to him. |
| [37]Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. |
[37]Blessed those servants who, when their lord shall come, shall be found watching. Amen I tell you, He will gird his loins, and make them recline, and will come over and serve them. |
| [38]And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. |
[38]And if in the second or the third watch he shall come and find them thus, blessed will be those servants. |
| [39]And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. |
[39]But this know, that if the lord of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have permitted his house to be dug through. |
| [40]Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. |
[40]Also you, be you therefore ready: for, in that hour that you think not, cometh the Son of man. |
| [41]Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? |
[41]Shemun Kipha said to him, Our Lord, to us speakest thou this parable, or to all men also? |
| [42]And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? |
[42]Jeshu said to him, Who then is that steward, faithful and wise, whom his lord hath established over his service, to give the portion in its time? |
| [43]Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. |
[43]Blessed that servant whom, when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing. |
| [44]Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. |
[44]Assuredly I tell you, He will establish him over all his substance. |
| [45]But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; |
[45]But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord withholdeth to come, and shall begin to beat the servants and the handmaids of his lord, and shall begin to eat and to drink and be drunken; |
| [46]The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. |
[46]The lord of that servant will come in a day when he thinketh not, and in an hour which he knoweth not; and shall sunder him, and set him his portion with those who are not faithful. |
| [47]And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. |
[47]And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself according to his will, shall be beaten with many. |
| [48]But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. |
[48]But he who knew not, and did that which was worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For every one to whom much is given, much will be required from him; and to whom much is committed, the more will they require at his hand. |
| [49]I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? |
[49]FIRE have I come to send forth upon the earth, and I would that it already burned: |
| [50]But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! |
[50]And I have a baptism [wherewith] to be baptized, and greatly am I pressed till it be completed. |
| [51]Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: |
[51]Suppose you that peace I have come to send forth on the earth? I tell you, not [peace], but divisions. |
| [52]For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. |
[52]For from henceforth there will be five in one house, who [will be] divided, three against two, and two against three. |
| [53]The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. |
[53]For the father will be divided against his son, and the son against his father; the mother against her daughter, and the daughter against her mother; the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law. |
| [54]And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. |
[54]And he said to the assembly, When you see a cloud arisen from the west, immediately you say, The rain cometh; and it is so: |
| [55]And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. |
[55]And when bloweth the south, you say, It becomes heat; and it is so. |
| [56]Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? |
[56]You hypocrites, the aspect of the sky and of the earth you know to distinguish; but this Time how do you not distinguish? |
| [57]Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? |
[57]But why of yourselves judge you not the truth? |
| [58]When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. |
[58]When thou art going with thine adversary to the magistrate, while in the way, negotiate, and be freed from him; lest he bring thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exactor, and the exactor cast thee into the house of the bound; |
| [59]I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. |
[59]And Amen I tell thee, Thou wilt not be delivered from thence till thou shalt have given the last shomona. |
