World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1“Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.
1Nolite judicare, ut non judicemini.
2For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
2In quo enim judicio judicaveritis, judicabimini: et in qua mensura mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis.
3Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
3Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, et trabem in oculo tuo non vides?
4Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?
4aut quomodo dicis fratri tuo: Sine ejiciam festucam de oculo tuo, et ecce trabs est in oculo tuo?
5You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.
5Hypocrita, ejice primum trabem de oculo tuo, et tunc videbis ejicere festucam de oculo fratris tui.
6“Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
6Nolite dare sanctum canibus: neque mittatis margaritas vestras ante porcos, ne forte conculcent eas pedibus suis, et conversi dirumpant vos.
7“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
7Petite, et dabitur vobis: quærite, et invenietis: pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
8For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
8Omnis enim qui petit, accipit: et qui quærit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
9Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
9Aut quis est ex vobis homo, quem si petierit filius suus panem, numquid lapidem porriget ei?
10Or if he asks for a fish, who will give 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 those who 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?
12Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do 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.
13“Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it.
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 the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.
14Quam angusta porta, et arcta via est, quæ ducit ad vitam: et pauci sunt qui inveniunt eam !
15“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
15Attendite a falsis prophetis, qui veniunt ad vos in vestimentis ovium, intrinsecus autem sunt lupi rapaces:
16By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?
16a fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos. Numquid colligunt de spinis uvas, aut de tribulis ficus?
17Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
17Sic omnis arbor bona fructus bonos facit: mala autem arbor malos fructus facit.
18A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
18Non potest arbor bona malos fructus facere: neque arbor mala bonos fructus facere.
19Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
19Omnis arbor, quæ non facit fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
20Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
20Igitur ex fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos.
21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in 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 tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’
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?
23Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
23Et tunc confitebor illis: Quia numquam novi vos: discedite a me, qui operamini iniquitatem.
24“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
24Omnis ergo qui audit verba mea hæc, et facit ea, assimilabitur viro sapienti, qui ædificavit domum suam supra petram,
25The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.
25et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et non cecidit: fundata enim erat super petram.
26Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
26Et omnis qui audit verba mea hæc, et non facit ea, similis erit viro stulto, qui ædificavit domum suam super arenam:
27The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”
27et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et cecidit, et fuit ruina illius magna.
28When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
28Et factum est: cum consummasset Jesus verba hæc, admirabantur turbæ super doctrina ejus.
29for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
29Erat enim docens eos sicut potestatem habens, et non sicut scribæ eorum, et pharisæi.
