Mattheum 7
1 Nolite iudicare, et non iudicabimini: nolite condemnare, et non condemnabimini.
Judge not, that ye be not iudged.
2 In quo enim iudicio iudicaveritis, iudicabimini: et in qua mensura mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis.
Eor with what iudgement ye iudge, ye shall be iudged, and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you againe.
3 Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui: et trabem in oculo tuo non vides?
And why seest thou the mote, that is in thy brothers eye, and perceiuest not the beame that is in thine owne eye?
4 Aut quomodo dicis fratri tuo: Frater sine eiiciam festucam de oculo tuo, et ecce trabs est in oculo tuo?
Or howe sayest thou to thy brother, Suffer me to cast out the mote out of thine eye, and beholde, a beame is in thine owne eye?
5 Hypocrita, eiice primum trabem de oculo tuo, et tunc videbis eiicere festucam de oculo fratris tui.
Hypocrite, first cast out that beame out of thine owne eye, and then shalt thou see clearely to cast out the mote out of thy brothers eye.
6 Nolite dare sanctum canibus: neque mittatis margaritas vestras ante porcos, ne forte conculcent eas pedibus suis, et conversi dirumpant vos.
Giue ye not that which is holy, to dogges, neither cast ye your pearles before swine, lest they treade them vnder their feete, and turning againe, all to rent you.
7 Petite, et dabitur vobis: quaerite, et invenietis: pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
Aske, and it shall be giuen you: seeke, and ye shall finde: knocke, and it shall be opened vnto you.
8 Omnis enim, qui petit, accipit: et qui quaerit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
For whosoeuer asketh, receiueth: and he, that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
9 Aut quis est ex vobis homo, quem si petierit filius suus panem, numquid lapidem porriget ei?
For what man is there among you, which if his sonne aske him bread, woulde giue him a stone?
10 Aut si piscem petierit, numquid serpentem porriget ei?
Or if he aske fish, wil he giue him a serpent?
11 Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris: quanto magis pater vester, qui in caelis est, dabit bona petentibus se?
If ye then, which are euill, can giue to your children good giftes, howe much more shall your Father which is in heauen, giue good thinges to them that aske him?
12 Omnia ergo quaecumque vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis. Haec est enim lex, et Prophetae.
Therefore whatsoeuer ye woulde that men should doe to you, euen so doe ye to them: for this is the Lawe and the Prophets.
13 Intrate per angustam portam: quia lata porta, et spatiosa via est, quae ducit ad perditionem, et multi sunt qui intrant per eam.
Enter in at the streight gate: for it is the wide gate, and broade way that leadeth to destruction: and many there be which goe in thereat,
14 Quam angusta porta, et arcta via est, quae ducit ad vitam: et pauci sunt, qui inveniunt eam!
Because the gate is streight, and the way narowe that leadeth vnto life, and fewe there be that finde it.
15 Attendite a falsis prophetis, qui veniunt ad vos in vestimentis ovium, intrinsecus autem sunt lupi rapaces:
Beware of false prophets, which come to you, in sheepes clothing, but inwardly they are rauening wolues.
16 a fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos. Numquid colligunt de spinis uvas, aut de tribulis ficus?
Ye shall know them by their fruites. Doe men gather grapes of thornes? or figges of thistles?
17 Sic omnis arbor bona fructus bonos facit: mala autem arbor malos fructus facit.
So euery good tree bringeth foorth good fruite, and a corrupt tree bringeth forth euill fruite.
18 Non potest arbor bona malos fructus facere: neque arbor mala bonos fructus facere:
A good tree can not bring forth euil fruite: neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruite.
19 Omnis arbor, quae non facit fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
Euery tree that bringeth not forth good fruite, is hewen downe, and cast into the fire.
20 Igitur ex fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos.
Therefore by their fruites ye shall knowe them.
21 Non omnis, qui dicit mihi, Domine, Domine, intrabit in regnum caelorum: sed qui facit voluntatem Patris mei, qui in caelis est, ipse intrabit in regnum caelorum.
Not euery one that sayeth vnto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdome of heauen, but he that doeth my Fathers will which is in heauen.
22 Multi dicent mihi in illa die: Domine, Domine, nonne in nomine tuo prophetavimus, et in nomine tuo daemonia eiecimus, et in nomine tuo virtutes multas fecimus?
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, haue we not by thy Name prophecied? and by thy name cast out deuils? and by thy name done many great workes?
23 Et tunc confitebor illis: Quia numquam novi vos: discedite a me omnes, qui operamini iniquitatem.
And then will I professe to them, I neuer knewe you: depart from me, ye that worke iniquitie.
24 Omnis ergo, qui audit verba mea haec, et facit ea, assimilabitur viro sapienti, qui aedificavit domum suam supra petram,
Whosoeuer then heareth of mee these words, and doeth the same, I will liken him to a wise man, which hath builded his house on a rock:
25 et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et non cecidit: fundata enim erat supra petram.
And the raine fell, and the floods came, and the windes blewe, and beat vpon that house, and it fell not: for it was grounded on a rocke.
26 Et omnis, qui audit verba mea haec, et non facit ea, similis erit viro stulto, qui aedificavit domum suam super arenam:
But whosoeuer heareth these my wordes, and doeth them not, shall be likened vnto a foolish man, which hath builded his house vpon the sand:
27 et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et cecidit, et fuit ruina illius magna.
And the raine fell, and the floods came, and the windes blewe, and beat vpon that house, and it fell, and the fall thereof was great.
28 Et factum est: cum consummasset Iesus verba haec, admirabantur turbae super doctrina eius.
And it came to passe, when Iesus had ended these wordes, the people were astonied at his doctrine.
29 Erat enim docens eos sicut potestatem habens, et non sicut Scribae, et Pharisaei.
For he taught them as one hauing authoritie, and not as the Scribes.
