Mattheum 7
1 Nolite iudicare, et non iudicabimini: nolite condemnare, et non condemnabimini.
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 In quo enim iudicio iudicaveritis, iudicabimini: et in qua mensura mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye will be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you.
3 Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui: et trabem in oculo tuo non vides?
And why dost thou look at the mote that is in thy brother's eye, and not perceive the beam in thine own eye?
4 Aut quomodo dicis fratri tuo: Frater sine eiiciam festucam de oculo tuo, et ecce trabs est in oculo tuo?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me take the mote out of thine eye; when, lo! the beam is in thine own eye?
5 Hypocrita, eiice primum trabem de oculo tuo, et tunc videbis eiicere festucam de oculo fratris tui.
Hypocrite! first cast the beam out of thine own eye; and then wilt thou see clearly to take the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Nolite dare sanctum canibus: neque mittatis margaritas vestras ante porcos, ne forte conculcent eas pedibus suis, et conversi dirumpant vos.
Give not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine; lest they trample them under their feet, and turn upon you and rend you.
7 Petite, et dabitur vobis: quaerite, et invenietis: pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and ye will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
8 Omnis enim, qui petit, accipit: et qui quaerit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door will be opened.
9 Aut quis est ex vobis homo, quem si petierit filius suus panem, numquid lapidem porriget ei?
Or what man is there of you, who, if his son ask for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Aut si piscem petierit, numquid serpentem porriget ei?
or, if he ask for a fish, will give 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, though evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him!
12 Omnia ergo quaecumque vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis. Haec est enim lex, et Prophetae.
All things, then, whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye also so to them; for this is the Law 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 strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction; and many are they who go in thereat.
14 Quam angusta porta, et arcta via est, quae ducit ad vitam: et pauci sunt, qui inveniunt eam!
For strait is the gate, and narrow the way, that leadeth to life; and few are they who find it.
15 Attendite a falsis prophetis, qui veniunt ad vos in vestimentis ovium, intrinsecus autem sunt lupi rapaces:
Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
16 a fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos. Numquid colligunt de spinis uvas, aut de tribulis ficus?
Ye may know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Sic omnis arbor bona fructus bonos facit: mala autem arbor malos fructus facit.
So every good tree beareth good fruit; but a bad tree beareth bad fruit.
18 Non potest arbor bona malos fructus facere: neque arbor mala bonos fructus facere:
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor call a bad tree bear good fruit.
19 Omnis arbor, quae non facit fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
Every tree that beareth not good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
20 Igitur ex fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos.
So then ye may know them by their fruits.
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 every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
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, did we not prophesy in thy name, and in thy name cast out demons, and in thy name work many miracles?
23 Et tunc confitebor illis: Quia numquam novi vos: discedite a me omnes, qui operamini iniquitatem.
And then will I declare to them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Omnis ergo, qui audit verba mea haec, et facit ea, assimilabitur viro sapienti, qui aedificavit domum suam supra petram,
Every one then that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened to a wise man, who built his house upon 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 rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock.
26 Et omnis, qui audit verba mea haec, et non facit ea, similis erit viro stulto, qui aedificavit domum suam super arenam:
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon 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 rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell; and great was its fall.
28 Et factum est: cum consummasset Iesus verba haec, admirabantur turbae super doctrina eius.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching.
29 Erat enim docens eos sicut potestatem habens, et non sicut Scribae, et Pharisaei.
For he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.
