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, shall ye be judged, —and, with what measure ye mete, shall it be measured unto you.
3 Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui: et trabem in oculo tuo non vides?
Why, moreover, beholdest thou the mote, in the eye of thy brother, —while, the beam in thine own eye, thou dost not consider?
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 unto thy brother, Let me cast the mote out of thine eye, —when lo! a beam, is in thine own eye?
5 Hypocrita, eiice primum trabem de oculo tuo, et tunc videbis eiicere festucam de oculo fratris tui.
Hypocrite! cast first, out of thine own eye, the beam, —and, then, shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote, out of the eye of thy brother.
6 Nolite dare sanctum canibus: neque mittatis margaritas vestras ante porcos, ne forte conculcent eas pedibus suis, et conversi dirumpant vos.
Do not give what is holy unto dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, —lest once they trample, them, down with their feet, and, turning, tear, you.
7 Petite, et dabitur vobis: quaerite, et invenietis: pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
Be asking, and it shall be given you, Be seeking, and ye shall find, —Be knocking, and it shall be opened unto you.
8 Omnis enim, qui petit, accipit: et qui quaerit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
For, whosoever asketh, receiveth, and, he that seeketh, findeth, —and, to him that knocketh, shall it be opened.
9 Aut quis est ex vobis homo, quem si petierit filius suus panem, numquid lapidem porriget ei?
Or what man, from among yourselves, whom his son shall ask for a loaf, —a stone, will give him?
10 Aut si piscem petierit, numquid serpentem porriget ei?
Or, a fish also, shall ask, —a serpent, will give him?
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 then, ye, being, evil, know how, good gifts, to be giving unto your children, how much more, will, your Father who is in the heavens, 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.
Whatsoever things, therefore, ye would, that men be doing unto you, so, be, ye also, doing, unto 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 ye in at, the narrow gate; because broad and roomy is the way that leadeth unto destruction, —and, many, are they who enter thereby:
14 Quam angusta porta, et arcta via est, quae ducit ad vitam: et pauci sunt, qui inveniunt eam!
Because, narrow, is the gate, and, confined, the way, that leadeth unto 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 false prophets, who come unto you in clothing of sheep, —while, within, they are ravening wolves.
16 a fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos. Numquid colligunt de spinis uvas, aut de tribulis ficus?
By their fruits, shall ye find, them, out, —unless perhaps men gather—from thorns, grapes! or, from thistles, figs!
17 Sic omnis arbor bona fructus bonos facit: mala autem arbor malos fructus facit.
So, every good tree, fine fruit, produceth, —whereas, the worthless tree, evil fruit, produceth:
18 Non potest arbor bona malos fructus facere: neque arbor mala bonos fructus facere:
It is, impossible, for a, good tree, to be bearing, evil fruit, neither doth, a worthless tree, produce, fine fruit.
19 Omnis arbor, quae non facit fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
Every tree that beareth not fine fruit, is hewn down, and, into fire, is cast.
20 Igitur ex fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos.
After all then, by their fruits, shall ye find, them, out.
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 unto me, Lord! Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, —but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
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 unto me, in, that, day, Lord! Lord! did we not, in thy name, prophesy, and, in thy name, cast, demons, out, —and, in thy name, many works of power, perform?
23 Et tunc confitebor illis: Quia numquam novi vos: discedite a me omnes, qui operamini iniquitatem.
And, then, will I confess unto them, Never, have I acknowledged you, —Depart from me, ye workers of lawlessness!
24 Omnis ergo, qui audit verba mea haec, et facit ea, assimilabitur viro sapienti, qui aedificavit domum suam supra petram,
Every one, therefore, who heareth [these] my words, and doeth them, shall be likened to a prudent man, who built his house upon the 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 rushed against that house, and it fell not; for it had been founded upon the 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 who heareth these my words, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto 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 dashed against 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 pass, when Jesus ended these words, with astonishment were the multitudes being struck at his teaching;
29 Erat enim docens eos sicut potestatem habens, et non sicut Scribae, et Pharisaei.
for he was teaching them as one having, authority, and not as their Scribes.
