Mattheum 12
1 In illo tempore abiit Iesus per sata sabbato: discipuli autem eius esurientes coeperunt vellere spicas, et manducare.
At that time Jesus went on the Sabbaths through the grainfields, and His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck ears, and to eat,
2 Pharisaei autem videntes, dixerunt ei: Ecce discipuli tui faciunt quod non licet eis facere sabbatis.
and the Pharisees having seen, said to Him, “Behold, Your disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on a Sabbath.”
3 At ille dixit eis: Non legistis quid fecerit David, quando esuriit, et qui cum eo erant?
And He said to them, “Did you not read what David did when he was hungry, himself and those with him—
4 quomodo intravit in domum Dei, et panes propositionis comedit, quos non licebat ei edere, neque his, qui cum eo erant, nisi solis sacerdotibus?
how he went into the house of God, and ate the Bread of the Presentation, which it is not lawful to him to eat, nor to those with him, except to the priests alone?
5 Aut non legistis in lege quia sabbatis sacerdotes in templo sabbatum violant, et sine crimine sunt?
Or did you not read in the Law that on the Sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless?
6 Dico autem vobis, quia templo maior est hic.
And I say to you that [One] greater than the temple is here;
7 Si autem sciretis, quid est: Misericordiam volo, et non sacrificium: numquam condemnassetis innocentes:
and if you had known what [this] is: Kindness I will, and not sacrifice—you had not condemned the blameless,
8 Dominus enim est filius hominis etiam sabbati.
for the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
9 Et cum inde transisset, venit in synagogam eorum.
And having departed from there, He went to their synagogue,
10 Et ecce homo manum habens aridam, et interrogabant eum, dicentes: Si licet sabbatis curare? ut accusarent eum.
and behold, there was a man having the hand withered, and they questioned Him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbaths?” That they might accuse Him.
11 Ipse autem dixit illis: Quis erit ex vobis homo, qui habeat ovem unam, et si ceciderit haec sabbatis in foveam, nonne tenebit, et levabit eam?
And He said to them, “What man will be of you who will have one sheep, and if this may fall on the Sabbaths into a ditch, will not lay hold on it and raise [it]?
12 Quanto magis melior est homo ove? Itaque licet sabbatis benefacere.
How much better, therefore, is a man than a sheep? So that it is lawful on the Sabbaths to do good.”
13 Tunc ait homini: Extende manum tuam. Et extendit, et restituta est sanitati sicut altera.
Then He says to the man, “Stretch forth your hand,” and he stretched [it] forth, and it was restored whole as the other.
14 Exeuntes autem Pharisaei, consilium faciebant adversus eum, quo modo perderent eum.
And the Pharisees having gone forth, held a consultation against Him, how they might destroy Him,
15 Iesus autem sciens recessit inde: et secuti sunt eum multi, et curavit eos omnes:
and Jesus having known, withdrew from there, and there followed Him great multitudes, and He healed them all,
16 et praecepit eis ne manifestum eum facerent.
and charged them that they might not make Him apparent,
17 Ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Isaiam prophetam, dicentem:
that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 Ecce puer meus, quem elegi, dilectus meus, in quo bene complacuit animae meae. Ponam spiritum meum super eum, et iudicium gentibus nunciabit.
“Behold, My Servant, whom I chose, My Beloved, in whom My soul delighted, I will put My Spirit on Him, And He will declare judgment to the nations;
19 Non contendet, neque clamabit, neque audiet aliquis in plateis vocem eius:
He will not strive nor cry, Nor will any hear His voice in the broad places;
20 arundinem quassatam non confringet, et linum fumigans non extinguet, donec eiiciat ad victoriam iudicium:
A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench, Until He may put forth judgment to victory,
21 et in nomine eius Gentes sperabunt.
And in His Name will nations hope.”
22 Tunc oblatus est ei daemonium habens, caecus, et mutus, et curavit eum ita ut loqueretur, et videret.
Then was brought to Him a demoniac, blind and mute, and He healed him, so that the blind and mute both spoke and saw.
23 Et stupebant omnes turbae, et dicebant: Numquid hic est filius David?
And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Is this the Son of David?”
24 Pharisaei autem audientes, dixerunt: Hic non eiicit daemones nisi in Beelzebub principe daemoniorum.
But the Pharisees having heard, said, “This One does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, ruler of the demons.”
25 Iesus autem sciens cogitationes eorum, dixit eis: Omne regnum divisum contra se, desolabitur: et omnis civitas, vel domus divisa contra se, non stabit.
And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated, and no city or house having been divided against itself stands,
26 Et si satanas satanam eiicit, adversus se divisus est: quomodo ergo stabit regnum eius?
and if Satan casts out Satan, against himself he was divided, how then does his kingdom stand?
27 Et si ego in Beelzebub eiicio daemones, filii vestri in quo eiiciunt? Ideo ipsi iudices vestri erunt.
And if I, by Beelzebul, cast out the demons, your sons—by whom do they cast out? Because of this they will be your judges.
28 Si autem ego in spiritu Dei eiicio daemones, igitur pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
But if I, by the Spirit of God, cast out the demons, then the Kingdom of God has already come to you.
29 aut quomodo potest quisquam intrare in domum fortis, et vasa eius diripere, nisi prius alligaverit fortem? Et tunc domum illius diripiet.
Or how is one able to go into the house of the strong man, and to snatch his goods, if first he may not bind the strong man? And then his house he will plunder.
30 Qui non est mecum, contra me est: et qui non congregat mihi, spargit.
He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who is not gathering with Me, scatters.
31 Ideo dico vobis: Omne peccatum, et blasphemia remittetur hominibus, spiritus autem blasphemiae non remittetur.
Because of this I say to you, all sin and slander will be forgiven to men, but the slander of the Spirit will not be forgiven to men.
32 Et quicumque dixerit verbum contra filium hominis, remittetur ei: qui autem dixerit contra Spiritum sanctum, non remittetur ei neque in hoc saeculo, neque in futuro. (aiōn g165)
And whoever may speak a word against the Son of Man it will be forgiven to him, but whoever may speak against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is coming. (aiōn g165)
33 Aut facite arborem bonam, et fructum eius bonum: aut facite arborem malam, et fructum eius malum: siquidem ex fructu arbor agnoscitur.
Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad, for from the fruit is the tree known.
34 Progenies viperarum, quomodo potestis bona loqui, cum sitis mali? ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur.
Brood of vipers! How are you able to speak good things—being evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 Bonus homo de bono thesauro profert bona: et malus homo de malo thesauro profert mala.
The good man out of the good treasure of the heart puts forth the good things, and the evil man out of the evil treasure puts forth evil things.
36 Dico autem vobis quoniam omne verbum otiosum, quod locuti fuerint homines, reddent rationem de eo in die iudicii.
And I say to you that every idle word that men may speak, they will give for it a reckoning in [the] day of judgment;
37 Ex verbis enim tuis iustificaberis, et ex verbis tuis condemnaberis.
for from your words you will be declared righteous, and from your words you will be declared unrighteous.”
38 Tunc responderunt ei quidam de Scribis et Pharisaeis, dicentes: Magister, volumus a te signum videre.
Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, “Teacher, we will to see a sign from You.”
39 Qui respondens ait illis: Generatio mala, et adultera signum quaerit: et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Ionae prophetae.
And He answering said to them, “A generation, evil and adulterous, seeks a sign, and a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;
40 Sicut enim fuit Ionas in ventre ceti tribus diebus, et tribus noctibus; sic erit Filius hominis in corde terrae tribus diebus, et tribus noctibus.
for as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
41 Viri Ninivitae surgent in iudicio cum generatione ista, et condemnabunt eam: quia poenitentiam egerunt in praedicatione Ionae. Et ecce plus quam Ionas hic.
Men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they converted at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold, [One] greater than Jonah [is] here!
42 Regina austri surget in iudicio cum generatione ista, et condemnabit eam: quia venit a finibus terrae audire sapientiam Salomonis, et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.
A queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, [One] greater than Solomon [is] here!
43 Cum autem immundus spiritus exierit ab homine, ambulat per loca arida, quaerens requiem, et non invenit.
And when the unclean spirit may go forth from the man, it walks through dry places seeking rest and does not find;
44 Tunc dicit: Revertar in domum meam, unde exivi. Et veniens invenit eam vacantem, scopis mundatam, et ornatam.
then it says, I will return to my house from where I came forth; and having come, it finds [it] unoccupied, swept, and adorned:
45 Tunc vadit, et assumit septem alios spiritus secum nequiores se, et intrantes habitant ibi: et fiunt novissima hominis illius peiora prioribus. Sic erit et generationi huic pessimae.
then it goes, and takes with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having gone in they dwell there, and the last of that man becomes worse than the first; so will it also be to this evil generation.”
46 Adhuc eo loquente ad turbas, ecce mater eius, et fratres stabant foris, quaerentes loqui ei.
And while He was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers had stood outside, seeking to speak to Him,
47 Dixit autem ei quidam: Ecce mater tua, et fratres tui foris stant quaerentes te.
and one said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to You.”
48 At ipse respondens dicenti sibi, ait: Quae est mater mea, et qui sunt fratres mei?
And He answering said to him who spoke to Him, “Who is My mother? And who are My brothers?”
49 Et extendens manum in discipulos suos, dixit: Ecce mater mea, et fratres mei.
And having stretched forth His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold, My mother and My brothers!
50 Quicumque enim fecerit voluntatem Patris mei, qui in caelis est: ipse meus frater, et soror, et mater est.
For whoever may do the will of My Father who is in the heavens, He is My brother, and sister, and mother.”
