Matthew 7

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 “Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.	1 Nolite judicare, ut non judicemini.
2 For with whatever judgment you judge, so shall you be judged; and with whatever measure you measure out, so shall it be measured back to you.	2 In quo enim judicio judicaveritis, judicabimini : et in qua mensura mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis.
3 And how can you see the splinter in your brother’s eye, and not see the board in your own eye?	3 Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, et trabem in oculo tuo non vides ?
4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter from your eye,’ while, behold, a board is in your own eye?	4 aut quomodo dicis fratri tuo : Sine ejiciam festucam de oculo tuo, et ecce trabs est in oculo tuo ?
5 Hypocrite, first remove the board from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the board from your brother’s eye.	5 Hypocrita, ejice primum trabem de oculo tuo, et tunc videbis ejicere festucam de oculo fratris tui.
6 Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not cast your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they may trample them under their feet, and then, turning, they may tear you apart.	6 Nolite dare sanctum canibus : neque mittatis margaritas vestras ante porcos, ne forte conculcent eas pedibus suis, et conversi dirumpant vos.
7 Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.	7 Petite, et dabitur vobis : quærite, et invenietis : pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
8 For everyone who asks, receives; and whoever seeks, finds; and to anyone who knocks, it will be opened.	8 Omnis enim qui petit, accipit : et qui quærit, invenit : et pulsanti aperietur.
9 Or what man is there among you, who, if his son were to ask him for bread, would offer him a stone;	9 Aut quis est ex vobis homo, quem si petierit filius suus panem, numquid lapidem porriget ei ?
10 or if he were to ask him for a fish, would offer him a snake?	10 aut si piscem petierit, numquid serpentem porriget ei ?
11 Therefore, if you, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your sons, how much more will your Father, who is in heaven, give good things to those who ask him?	11 Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris : quanto magis Pater vester, qui in cælis est, dabit bona petentibus se ?
12 Therefore, all things whatsoever that you wish that men would do to you, do so also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.	12 Omnia ergo quæcumque vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis. Hæc est enim lex, et prophetæ.
13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate, and broad is the way, which leads to perdition, and many there are who enter through it.	13 Intrate per angustam portam : quia lata porta, et spatiosa via est, quæ ducit ad perditionem, et multi sunt qui intrant per eam.
14 How narrow is the gate, and how straight is the way, which leads to life, and few there are who find it!	14 Quam 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 ravenous wolves.	15 Attendite a falsis prophetis, qui veniunt ad vos in vestimentis ovium, intrinsecus autem sunt lupi rapaces :
16 You shall know them by their fruits. Can grapes be gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?	16 a fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos. Numquid colligunt de spinis uvas, aut de tribulis ficus ?
17 So then, every good tree produces good fruit, and the evil tree produces evil fruit.	17 Sic omnis arbor bona fructus bonos facit : mala autem arbor malos fructus facit.
18 A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, and an evil tree is not able to produce good fruit.	18 Non potest arbor bona malos fructus facere : neque arbor mala bonos fructus facere.
19 Every tree which does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.	19 Omnis arbor, quæ non facit fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
20 Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.	20 Igitur ex fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos.
21 Not all who say to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.	21 Non 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.
22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and perform many powerful deeds in your name?’	22 Multi 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 ?
23 And then will I disclose to them: ‘I have never known you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.’	23 Et tunc confitebor illis : Quia numquam novi vos : discedite a me, qui operamini iniquitatem.
24 Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and does them shall be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock.	24 Omnis ergo qui audit verba mea hæc, et facit ea, assimilabitur viro sapienti, qui ædificavit domum suam supra petram,
25 And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, but it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.	25 et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et non cecidit : fundata enim erat super petram.
26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.	26 Et omnis qui audit verba mea hæc, et non facit ea, similis erit viro stulto, qui ædificavit domum suam super arenam :
27 And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, and it did fall, and great was its ruin.”	27 et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et cecidit, et fuit ruina illius magna.
28 And it happened, when Jesus had completed these words, that the crowds were astonished at his doctrine.	28 Et factum est : cum consummasset Jesus verba hæc, admirabantur turbæ super doctrina ejus.
29 For he was teaching them as one who has authority, and not like their scribes and Pharisees.	29 Erat enim docens eos sicut potestatem habens, et non sicut scribæ eorum, et pharisæi.
