Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Judge not, that you may not be judged,
1Nolite judicare, ut non judicemini.
2For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.
2In quo enim judicio judicaveritis, judicabimini: et in qua mensura mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis.
3Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
3Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, et trabem in oculo tuo non vides?
4Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?
4aut quomodo dicis fratri tuo: Sine ejiciam festucam de oculo tuo, et ecce trabs est in oculo tuo?
5Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
5Hypocrita, ejice primum trabem de oculo tuo, et tunc videbis ejicere festucam de oculo fratris tui.
6Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.
6Nolite dare sanctum canibus: neque mittatis margaritas vestras ante porcos, ne forte conculcent eas pedibus suis, et conversi dirumpant vos.
7Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.
7Petite, et dabitur vobis: quærite, et invenietis: pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
8For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
8Omnis enim qui petit, accipit: et qui quærit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
9Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?
9Aut quis est ex vobis homo, quem si petierit filius suus panem, numquid lapidem porriget ei?
10Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?
10aut si piscem petierit, numquid serpentem porriget ei?
11If you then being 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?
11Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris: quanto magis Pater vester, qui in cælis est, dabit bona petentibus se?
12All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.
12Omnia ergo quæcumque vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis. Hæc est enim lex, et prophetæ.
13Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.
13Intrate per angustam portam: quia lata porta, et spatiosa via est, quæ ducit ad perditionem, et multi sunt qui intrant per eam.
14How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!
14Quam angusta porta, et arcta via est, quæ ducit ad vitam: et pauci sunt qui inveniunt eam !
15Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
15Attendite a falsis prophetis, qui veniunt ad vos in vestimentis ovium, intrinsecus autem sunt lupi rapaces:
16By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
16a fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos. Numquid colligunt de spinis uvas, aut de tribulis ficus?
17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
17Sic omnis arbor bona fructus bonos facit: mala autem arbor malos fructus facit.
18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.
18Non potest arbor bona malos fructus facere: neque arbor mala bonos fructus facere.
19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.
19Omnis arbor, quæ non facit fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
20Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
20Igitur ex fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos.
21Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21Non omnis qui dicit mihi, Domine, Domine, intrabit in regnum cælorum: sed qui facit voluntatem Patris mei, qui in cælis est, ipse intrabit in regnum cælorum.
22Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?
22Multi dicent mihi in illa die: Domine, Domine, nonne in nomine tuo prophetavimus, et in nomine tuo dæmonia ejecimus, et in nomine tuo virtutes multas fecimus?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
23Et tunc confitebor illis: Quia numquam novi vos: discedite a me, qui operamini iniquitatem.
24Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,
24Omnis ergo qui audit verba mea hæc, et facit ea, assimilabitur viro sapienti, qui ædificavit domum suam supra petram,
25And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.
25et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et non cecidit: fundata enim erat super petram.
26And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,
26Et omnis qui audit verba mea hæc, et non facit ea, similis erit viro stulto, qui ædificavit domum suam super arenam:
27And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.
27et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et cecidit, et fuit ruina illius magna.
28And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.
28Et factum est: cum consummasset Jesus verba hæc, admirabantur turbæ super doctrina ejus.
29For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.
29Erat enim docens eos sicut potestatem habens, et non sicut scribæ eorum, et pharisæi.
