Matthew 23:15

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel over sea and land to make a single proselyte (convert to Judaism), and when he becomes a convert, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.

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.

“You’re hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You go halfway around the world to make a convert, but once you get him you make him into a replica of yourselves, double-damned. 16-22 “You’re hopeless! What arrogant stupidity! You say, ‘If someone makes a promise with his fingers crossed, that’s nothing; but if he swears with his hand on the Bible, that’s serious.’ What ignorance! Does the leather on the Bible carry more weight than the skin on your hands? And what about this piece of trivia: ‘If you shake hands on a promise, that’s nothing; but if you raise your hand that God is your witness, that’s serious’? What ridiculous hairsplitting! What difference does it make whether you shake hands or raise hands? A promise is a promise. What difference does it make if you make your promise inside or outside a house of worship? A promise is a promise. God is present, watching and holding you to account regardless. 23-24 “You’re hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You keep meticulous account books, tithing on every nickel and dime you get, but on the meat of God’s Law, things like fairness and compassion and commitment—the absolute basics!—you carelessly take it or leave it. Careful bookkeeping is commendable, but the basics are required. Do you have any idea how silly you look, writing a life story that’s wrong from start to finish, nitpicking over commas and semicolons? 25-26 “You’re hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You burnish the surface of your cups and bowls so they sparkle in the sun, while the insides are maggoty with your greed and gluttony. Stupid Pharisee! Scour the insides, and then the gleaming surface will mean something. 27-28 “You’re hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You’re like manicured grave plots, grass clipped and the flowers bright, but six feet down it’s all rotting bones and worm-eaten flesh. People look at you and think you’re saints, but beneath the skin you’re total frauds. 29-32 “You’re hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You build granite tombs for your prophets and marble monuments for your saints. And you say that if you had lived in the days of your ancestors, no blood would have been on your hands. You protest too much! You’re cut from the same cloth as those murderers, and daily add to the death count. 33-34 “Snakes! Reptilian sneaks! Do you think you can worm your way out of this? Never have to pay the piper? It’s on account of people like you that I send prophets and wise guides and scholars generation after generation—and generation after generation you treat them like dirt, greeting them with lynch mobs, hounding them with abuse. 35-36 “You can’t squirm out of this: Every drop of righteous blood ever spilled on this earth, beginning with the blood of that good man Abel right down to the blood of Zechariah, Barachiah’s son, whom you murdered at his prayers, is on your head. All this, I’m telling you, is coming down on you, on your generation. 37-39 “Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Murderer of prophets! Killer of the ones who brought you God’s news! How often I’ve ached to embrace your children, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you wouldn’t let me. And now you’re so desolate, nothing but a ghost town. What is there left to say? Only this: I’m out of here soon. The next time you see me you’ll say, ‘Oh, God has blessed him! He’s come, bringing God’s rule!’”

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one [f]proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of [g]hell as yourselves.

»¡Ay de vosotros, escribas y fariseos hipócritas!, que recorréis mar y tierra por conseguir un prosélito, y una vez conseguido lo hacéis dos veces más hijo del infierno que vosotros mismos.

“How terrible for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You pretenders! You travel everywhere to win one person to your faith. Then you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

‘Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell[f] you yourselves are!

الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْكَتَبَةُ وَالْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ الْمُرَاؤُونَ! فَإِنَّكُمْ تَطُوفُونَ الْبَحْرَ وَالْبَرَّ لِتَكْسَبُوا مُتَهَوِّداً وَاحِداً؛ فَإِذَا تَهَوَّدَ جَعَلْتُمُوهُ أَهْلاً لِجَهَنَّمَ ضِعْفَ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ!

“Alaot kamong mga magtutudlo sa Kasugoan ug mga Pariseo. Ang inyong pagtuo sa Dios pagpakaaron-ingnon lang! Ginalibot ninyo ang tibuok kalibotan aron makabig ninyo ang bisan usa lang ka tawo sa inyong pagtuo. Apan human ninyo siya makabig ginahimo ninyo siyang labaw pa kadaotan kay kaninyo ug angay gayod sa impiyerno.

Běda vám, pokrytci! Kraj světa projdete, abyste obrátili jednoho člověka na víru, ale sotva uvěří, zavalíte ho svými předpisy. Jestliže ho předtím čekalo zatracení, vaším přičiněním ho čeká dvojnásob.

Ve jer selvretfærdige farisæere og skriftlærde, for I farer land og rige rundt for at hverve tilhængere, og så gør I dem til Helvedes børn, dobbelt så slemme, som I selv er!

Wehe euch, ihr Schriftgelehrten und Pharisäer! Ihr Heuchler! Ihr reist in der Welt herum, um nur einen einzigen Nichtjuden dafür zu gewinnen, eure Gesetze anzuerkennen. Und wenn ihr einen gefunden habt, dann wird er durch euch zu einem Anwärter auf die Hölle, der euch an Bosheit noch übertrifft.

»¡Ay de vosotros, maestros de la ley y fariseos, hipócritas! Recorréis tierra y mar para ganar un solo adepto, y cuando lo habéis logrado lo hacéis dos veces más merecedor del infierno[d] que vosotros.

»¡Ay de ustedes, maestros de la ley y fariseos, hipócritas! Recorren tierra y mar para ganar un solo adepto, y cuando lo han logrado lo hacen dos veces más merecedor del infierno[d] que ustedes.

Malheur à vous, spécialistes de la Loi et pharisiens hypocrites ! Vous parcourez terre et mer pour amener ne fût-ce qu’un seul païen à votre religion, et quand vous l’avez gagné, vous lui faites mériter l’enfer deux fois plus que vous.

כן, אוי לכם, צבועים! אתם נוסעים למרחקים כדי לגייר אדם אחד, ולאחר שהתגייר אתם הופכים אותו לבן-גיהינום עוד יותר מכם!

“Kaluluoy kamo nga mga manunudlo sang Kasuguan kag mga Pariseo, kamo nga mga hipokrito! Nagakadto kamo sa bisan diin nga lugar kag nagatabok pa sa mga dagat agod makomberter ninyo ang bisan isa lang ka tawo sa inyo relihiyon. Pero kon makomberter na ninyo ginahimo ninyo siya nga sobra pa sa inyo kalain kag bagay gid sa impyerno.

Teško vama, pismoznanci i farizeji! Licemjeri! Obilazite morem i kopnom da biste pridobili jednog sljedbenika, a kad vam postane sljedbenikom, učinite od njega sina paklenoga dvostruko gorega nego što ste i sami!

Sì, ipocriti! Perché percorrete enormi distanze per convertire qualcuno, che poi rendete figlio dellʼinferno il doppio di voi!

そうです。あなたがたのような偽善者こそいまわしいものです。たった一人の改宗者（ユダヤ教に転向する人）をつくるために、どんな遠くへでもせっせと出かけて行くが、結局その人を、自分より倍も悪い地獄の子にしてしまうのです。

“율법학자들과 바리새파 사람들아, 너희 위선자들에게 불행이 닥칠 것이다. 너희는 교인 하나를 얻기 위해 바다와 육지를 돌아다니다가 얻으면 너희보다 배나 더 악한 지옥 자식으로 만든다.

Ja, ulykken skal ramme dere, dere som bare later som om dere er lydige mot Gud! Dere kan reise over hav og land for å få noen til å tro på Gud, men etterpå gjør dere den arme stakkaren til et helvetes barn, dobbelt verre enn dere selv.

U bent stuk voor stuk huichelaars! Want u trekt stad en land door om één mens tot uw geloof te bekeren en dan wordt die wel twee keer zo slecht als u bent: klaar voor de hel!

Marny wasz los, przywódcy religijni i faryzeusze! Jesteście obłudnikami! Obchodzicie cały świat, aby nawrócić jednego człowieka. A gdy już się tak stanie, robicie z niego syna piekła, dwa razy gorszego niż wy sami.

“Ai de vocês, mestres da lei e fariseus, hipócritas, porque percorrem terra e mar para fazer um convertido e, quando conseguem, vocês o tornam duas vezes mais filho do inferno do que vocês.

Sim, ai de vocês, especialistas na Lei e fariseus, fingidos, porque fazem tudo para converter alguém e depois tornam essa pessoa duas vezes mais filha do inferno do que vocês mesmos!

Mandashcata yachachijcuna, fariseocuna, mishqui shimi, jayaj shungucunami canguichij. ¡Ai, imachari tucunguichij!

Vai de voi, cărturari şi farisei ipocriţi! Căci voi înconjuraţi marea şi uscatul pentru a face un prozelit, dar când devine astfel, faceţi din el de două ori mai mult un fiu al Gheenei[d] decât sunteţi voi!

– Горе вам, учители Таурата и блюстители Закона! Лицемеры! Вы проходите море и сушу, чтобы найти себе учеников, а когда вы находите хотя бы одного, то делаете его вдвое больше достойным ада, чем вы сами.

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.

Beda vám, učitelia Zákona a farizeji, pokrytci! Zašli by ste aj na kraj sveta, len aby ste jedného človeka obrátili, no len čo uverí, vlastným chápaním zbožnosti z neho urobíte syna pekla dva razy horšieho od vás.

Ve er, skriftlärda och fariseer, ni hycklare, som kan resa över både hav och land för att vinna en enda proselyt, men sedan gör ni honom till ett Gehennas barn, dubbelt värre än ni själva.

“Ole wenu walimu wa sheria na Mafarisayo, ninyi wana fiki! Mnasafiri baharini na nchi kavu ili kumfanya mtu mmoja awe mfuasi wa dini yenu, lakini baada ya kumpata, mnamfanya astahili kwenda Jehena mara mbili zaidi yenu!

“虚伪的律法教师和法利赛人啊，你们有祸了！因为你们走遍海洋和陆地去引人入教，等人入了教，却使他沦为地狱之子，比你们还坏一倍。

你 们 这 假 冒 为 善 的 文 士 和 法 利 赛 人 有 祸 了 ！ 因 为 你 们 走 遍 洋 海 陆 地 ， 勾 引 一 个 人 入 教 ， 既 入 了 教 ， 却 使 他 作 地 狱 之 子 ， 比 你 们 还 加 倍 。
