Vangelo secondo Matteo - Matthew 11

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και οτε ετελειωσεν ο Ιησους διαταττων εις τους δωδεκα μαθητας αυτου, μετεβη εκειθεν δια να διδασκη και να κηρυττη εν ταις πολεσιν αυτων.	1 And it happened that, when Jesus had completed instructing his twelve disciples, he went away from there in order to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Ο δε Ιωαννης, ακουσας εν τω δεσμωτηριω τα εργα του Χριστου, επεμψε δυο των μαθητων αυτου,	2 Now when John had heard, in prison, about the works of Christ, sending two of his disciples, he said to him,
3 και ειπε προς αυτον? Συ εισαι ο ερχομενος, η αλλον προσδοκωμεν;	3 “Are you he who is to come, or should we expect another?”
4 Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους? Υπαγετε και απαγγειλατε προς τον Ιωαννην οσα ακουετε και βλεπετε?	4 And Jesus, responding, said to them: “Go and report to John what you have heard and seen.
5 τυφλοι αναβλεπουσι και χωλοι περιπατουσι, λεπροι καθαριζονται και κωφοι ακουουσι, νεκροι εγειρονται και πτωχοι ευαγγελιζονται?	5 The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor are evangelized.
6 και μακαριος ειναι οστις δεν σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι.	6 And blessed is he who has found no offense in me.”
7 Ενω δε ουτοι ανεχωρουν, ηρχισεν ο Ιησους να λεγη προς τους οχλους περι του Ιωαννου? Τι εξηλθετε εις την ερημον να ιδητε; καλαμον υπο ανεμου σαλευομενον;	7 Then, after they departed, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8 Αλλα τι εξηλθετε να ιδητε; ανθρωπον ενδεδυμενον μαλακα ιματια; ιδου, οι τα μαλακα φορουντες εν τοις οικοις των βασιλεων ευρισκονται.	8 So what did you go out to see? A man in soft garments? Behold, those who are clothed in soft garments are in the houses of kings.
9 Αλλα τι εξηλθετε να ιδητε; προφητην; ναι, σας λεγω, και περισσοτερον προφητου.	9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
10 Διοτι ουτος ειναι, περι του οποιου ειναι γεγραμμενον? Ιδου, εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου, οστις θελει κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου.	10 For this is he, of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send my Angel before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.’
11 Αληθως σας λεγω, μεταξυ των γεννηθεντων υπο γυναικων δεν ηγερθη μεγαλητερος Ιωαννου του βαπτιστου? πλην ο μικροτερος εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων ειναι μεγαλητερος αυτου.	11 Amen I say to you, among those born of women, there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 Απο δε των ημερων Ιωαννου του βαπτιστου εως του νυν η βασιλεια των ουρανων βιαζεται, και οι βιασται αρπαζουσιν αυτην.	12 But from the days of John the Baptist, even until now, the kingdom of heaven has endured violence, and the violent carry it away.
13 Διοτι παντες οι προφηται και ο νομος εως Ιωαννου προεφητευσαν.	13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied, even until John.
14 Και αν θελητε να δεχθητε τουτο, αυτος ειναι ο Ηλιας, οστις εμελλε να ελθη.	14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah, who is to come.
15 Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη ας ακουη.	15 Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Αλλα με τι να ομοιωσω την γενεαν ταυτην; ειναι ομοια με παιδαρια καθημενα εν ταις αγοραις και φωναζοντα προς τους συντροφους αυτων,	16 But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplace,
17 και λεγοντα? Αυλον σας επαιξαμεν, και δεν εχορευσατε, σας εθρηνωδησαμεν, και δεν εκλαυσατε.	17 who, calling out to their companions, say: ‘We played music for you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and you did not mourn.’
18 Διοτι ηλθεν ο Ιωαννης μητε τρωγων μητε πινων, και λεγουσι? Δαιμονιον εχει.	18 For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
19 Ηλθεν ο Υιος του ανθρωπου τρωγων και πινων, και λεγουσιν? Ιδου, ανθρωπος φαγος και οινοποτης, φιλος τελωνων και αμαρτωλων. Και εδικαιωθη η σοφια απο των τεκνων αυτης.	19 The Son of man came eating and drinking; and they say, ‘Behold, a man who eats voraciously and who drinks wine, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is justified by her sons.”
20 Τοτε ηρχισε να ονειδιζη τας πολεις εν αις εγειναν τα πλειοτερα θαυματα αυτου, διοτι δεν μετενοησαν?	20 Then he began to rebuke the cities in which many of his miracles were accomplished, for they still had not repented.
21 Ουαι εις σε, Χοραζιν, ουαι εις σε, Βηθσαιδαν? διοτι εαν τα θαυματα τα γενομενα εν υμιν εγινοντο εν τη Τυρω και Σιδωνι προ πολλου ηθελον μετανοησει εν σακκω και σποδω.	21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in haircloth and ashes.
22 Πλην σας λεγω εις την Τυρον και Σιδωνα ελαφροτερα θελει εισθαι η τιμωρια εν ημερα κρισεως παρα εις εσας.	22 Yet truly, I say to you, Tyre and Sidon shall be forgiven more than you, on the day of judgment.
23 Και συ, Καπερναουμ, η υψωθεισα εως του ουρανου, θελεις καταβιβασθη εως αδου? διοτι εαν τα θαυματα τα γενομενα εν σοι εγινοντο εν Σοδομοις, ηθελον μεινει μεχρι της σημερον.	23 And you, Capernaum, would you be exalted all the way to heaven? You shall descend all the way to Hell. For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Sodom, perhaps it would have remained, even to this day.
24 Πλην σας λεγω, οτι εις την γην των Σοδομων ελαφροτερα θελει εισθαι η τιμωρια εν ημερα κρισεως παρα εις σε.	24 Yet truly, I say to you, that the land of Sodom shall be forgiven more than you, on the day of judgment.”
25 Εν εκεινω τω καιρω αποκριθεις ο Ιησους ειπε? Δοξαζω σε, Πατερ, κυριε του ουρανου και της γης, οτι απεκρυψας ταυτα απο σοφων και συνετων και απεκαλυψας αυτα εις νηπια?	25 At that time, Jesus responded and said: “I acknowledge you, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones.
26 ναι, ω Πατερ, διοτι ουτως εγεινεν αρεστον εμπροσθεν σου.	26 Yes, Father, for this was pleasing before you.
27 Παντα παρεδοθησαν εις εμε απο του Πατρος μου? και ουδεις γινωσκει τον Υιον ει μη ο Πατηρ? ουδε τον Πατερα γινωσκει τις ειμη ο Υιος και εις οντινα θελει ο Υιος να αποκαλυψη αυτον.	27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.
28 Ελθετε προς με, παντες οι κοπιωντες και πεφορτισμενοι, και εγω θελω σας αναπαυσει.	28 Come to me, all you who labor and have been burdened, and I will refresh you.
29 Αρατε τον ζυγον μου εφ' υμας και μαθετε απ' εμου, διοτι πραος ειμαι και ταπεινος την καρδιαν, και θελετε ευρει αναπαυσιν εν ταις ψυχαις υμων?	29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.
30 διοτι ο ζυγος μου ειναι καλος και το φορτιον μου ελαφρον.	30 For my yoke is sweet and my burden is light.”
