Evangelium secundum Matthaeum, 7
1. Nolite iudicare, ut non iudice mini;
1. "Judge not, that you be not judged.
2. in quo enim iudicio iudi caveritis, iudicabimini, et in qua mensura mensi fueritis, metietur vobis.
2. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get.
3. Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, et trabem in oculo tuo non vides?
3. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4. Aut quomodo dices fratri tuo: “Sine, eiciam festucam de oculo tuo”, et ecce trabes est in oculo tuo?
4. Or how can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye?
5. Hypocrita, eice primum trabem de oculo tuo, et tunc videbis eicere festucam de oculo fratris tui.
5. You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
6. Nolite dare sanctum canibus neque mittatis margaritas vestras ante porcos, ne forte conculcent eas pedibus suis et conversi dirumpant vos.
6. "Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you.
7. Petite, et dabitur vobis; quaerite et invenietis; pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
7. "Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8. Omnis enim qui petit, accipit; et, qui quaerit, invenit; et pulsanti aperietur.
8. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
9. Aut quis est ex vobis homo, quem si petierit filius suus panem, numquid lapidem porriget ei?
9. Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
10. Aut si piscem petierit, numquid serpentem porriget ei?
10. Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?
11. Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis dona bona dare filiis vestris, quanto magis Pater vester, qui in caelis est, dabit bona petentibus se.
11. If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
12. Omnia ergo, quaecumque vultis ut faciant vobis homines, ita et vos facite eis; haec est enim Lex et Prophetae.
12. So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
13. Intrate per angustam portam, quia lata porta et spatiosa via, quae ducit ad perditionem, et multi sunt, qui intrant per eam;
13. "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.
14. quam angusta porta et arta via, quae ducit ad vitam, et pauci sunt, qui inveniunt eam!
14. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
15. Attendite a falsis prophetis, qui veniunt ad vos in vestimentis ovium, intrinsecus autem sunt lupi rapaces.
15. "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16. A fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos; numquid colligunt de spinis uvas aut de tribulis ficus?
16. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17. Sic omnis arbor bona fructus bonos facit, mala autem arbor fructus malos facit;
17. So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit.
18. non potest arbor bona fructus malos facere, neque arbor mala fructus bonos facere.
18. A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
19. Omnis arbor, quae non facit fructum bonum, exciditur et in ignem mittitur.
19. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20. Igitur ex fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos.
20. Thus you will 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.
21. "Not every one who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22. Multi dicent mihi in illa die: “Domine, Domine, nonne in tuo nomine prophetavimus, et in tuo nomine daemonia eiecimus, et in tuo nomine virtutes multas fecimus?”.
22. On that day many will say to me, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'
23. Et tunc confitebor illis: Numquam novi vos; discedite a me, qui operamini iniquitatem.
23. And then will I declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.'
24. Omnis ergo, qui audit verba mea haec et facit ea, assimilabitur viro sapienti, qui aedificavit domum suam supra petram.
24. "Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise 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.
25. and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
26. Et omnis, qui audit verba mea haec et non facit ea, similis erit viro stulto, qui aedificavit domum suam supra arenam.
26. And every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like 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 eius magna”.
27. and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it."
28. Et factum est, cum consummasset Iesus verba haec, admirabantur turbae super doctrinam eius;
28. And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
29. erat enim docens eos sicut potestatem habens, et non sicut scribae eorum.
29. for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
