Vangelo secondo Matteo 12

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 In illo tempore abiit Iesus sabbatis per sata; discipuli autem eiusesurierunt et coeperunt vellere spicas et manducare.	1 At that time, Jesus went out through the ripe grain on the Sabbath. And his disciples, being hungry, began to separate the grain and to eat.
2 Pharisaei autem videntesdixerunt ei: “ Ecce discipuli tui faciunt, quod non licet facere sabbato ”.	2 Then the Pharisees, seeing this, said to him, “Behold, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths.”
3 At ille dixit eis: “ Non legistis quid fecerit David, quando esuriit, et quicum eo erant?	3 But he said to them: “Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
4 Quomodo intravit in domum Dei et panes propositionis comedit,quod non licebat ei edere neque his, qui cum eo erant, nisi solis sacerdotibus?	4 how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Aut non legistis in Lege quia sabbatis sacerdotes in templo sabbatum violantet sine crimine sunt?	5 Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbaths the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath, and they are without guilt?
6 Dico autem vobis quia templo maior est hic.	6 But I say to you, that something greater than the temple is here.
7 Si autemsciretis quid est: “Misericordiam volo et non sacrificium”, numquamcondemnassetis innocentes.	7 And if you knew what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would never have condemned the innocent.
8 Dominus est enim Filius hominis sabbati ”.	8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
9 Et cum inde transisset, venit in synagogam eorum;	9 And when he had passed from there, he went into their synagogues.
10 et ecce homo manum habensaridam. Et interrogabant eum dicentes: “ Licet sabbatis curare? ”, utaccusarent eum.	10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand, and they questioned him, so that they might accuse him, saying, “Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbaths?”
11 Ipse autem dixit illis: “ Quis erit ex vobis homo, quihabeat ovem unam et, si ceciderit haec sabbatis in foveam, nonne tenebit etlevabit eam?	11 But he said to them: “Who is there among you, having even one sheep, if it will have fallen into a pit on the Sabbath, would not take hold of it and lift it up?
12 Quanto igitur melior est homo ove! Itaque licet sabbatis benefacere ”.	12 How much better is a man than a sheep? And so, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbaths.”
13 Tunc ait homini: “ Extende manum tuam ”. Et extendit, etrestituta est sana sicut altera.	13 Then he said to the man, “Extend your hand.” And he extended it, and it was restored to health, just like the other one.
14 Exeuntes autem pharisaei consilium faciebantadversus eum, quomodo eum perderent.	14 Then the Pharisees, departing, took council against him, as to how they might destroy him.
15 Iesus autem sciens secessit inde. Et secuti sunt eum multi, et curavit eosomnes	15 But Jesus, knowing this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he cured them all.
16 et comminatus est eis, ne manifestum eum facerent,	16 And he instructed them, lest they make him known.
17 ut adimpleretur,quod dictum est per Isaiam prophetam dicentem:	17 Then what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled, saying:
18 “ Ecce puer meus, quem elegi, dilectus meus, in quo bene placuit animae meae; ponam Spiritum meum super eum, et iudicium gentibus nuntiabit.	18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will place my Spirit over him, and he shall announce judgment to the nations.
19 Non contendet neque clamabit, neque audiet aliquis in plateis vocem eius.	19 He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 Arundinem quassatam non confringet et linum fumigans non exstinguet, donec eiciat ad victoriam iudicium;	20 He shall not crush the bruised reed, and he shall not extinguish the smoking wick, until he sends forth judgment unto victory.
21 et in nomine eius gentes sperabunt ”.	21 And the Gentiles shall hope in his name.”
22 Tunc oblatus est ei daemonium habens, caecus et mutus, et curavit eum, ita utmutus loqueretur et videret.	22 Then one who had a demon, who was blind and mute, was brought to him. And he cured him, so that he spoke and saw.
23 Et stupebant omnes turbae et dicebant: “Numquid hic est filius David? ”.	23 And all the crowds were stupefied, and they said, “Could this be the son of David?”
24 Pharisaei autem audientes dixerunt: “Hic non eicit daemones nisi in Beelzebul, principe daemonum ”.	24 But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, “This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebub, the prince of the demons.”
25 Sciens autem cogitationes eorum dixit eis: “ Omne regnum divisum contra sedesolatur, et omnis civitas vel domus divisa contra se non stabit.	25 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself will become desolate. And every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
26 Et siSatanas Satanam eicit, adversus se divisus est; quomodo ergo stabit regnum eius?	26 So if Satan casts out Satan, then he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 Et si ego in Beelzebul eicio daemones, filii vestri in quo eiciunt? Ideo ipsiiudices erunt vestri.	27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your own sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.
28 Si autem in Spiritu Dei ego eicio daemones, igiturpervenit in vos regnum Dei.	28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has arrived among you.
29 Aut quomodo potest quisquam intrare in domumfortis et vasa eius diripere, nisi prius alligaverit fortem? Et tunc domumillius diripiet.	29 Or how can anyone enter into the house of a strong man, and plunder his belongings, unless he first restrains the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
30 Qui non est mecum, contra me est; et, qui non congregatmecum, spargit.	30 Whoever is not with me, is against me. And whoever does not gather with me, scatters.
31 Ideo dico vobis: Omne peccatum et blasphemia remittetur hominibus, Spiritusautem blasphemia non remittetur.	31 For this reason, I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
32 Et quicumque dixerit verbum contra Filiumhominis, remittetur ei; qui autem dixerit contra Spiritum Sanctum, nonremittetur ei neque in hoc saeculo neque in futuro.	32 And anyone who will have spoken a word against the Son of man shall be forgiven. But whoever will have spoken against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven, neither in this age, nor in the future age.
33 Aut facite arborem bonam et fructum eius bonum, aut facite arborem malam etfructum eius malum: si quidem ex fructu arbor agnoscitur.	33 Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree evil and its fruit evil. For certainly a tree is known by its fruit.
34 Progeniesviperarum, quomodo potestis bona loqui, cum sitis mali? Ex abundantia enimcordis os loquitur.	34 Progeny of vipers, how are you able to speak good things while you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
35 Bonus homo de bono thesauro profert bona, et malus homode malo thesauro profert mala.	35 A good man offers good things from a good storehouse. And an evil man offers evil things from an evil storehouse.
36 Dico autem vobis: Omne verbum otiosum, quodlocuti fuerint homines, reddent rationem de eo in die iudicii:	36 But I say to you, that for every idle word which men will have spoken, they shall render an account in the day of judgment.
37 ex verbis enimtuis iustificaberis, et ex verbis tuis condemnaberis ”.	37 For by your words shall you be justified, and by your words shall you be condemned.”
38 Tunc responderunt ei quidam de scribis et pharisaeis dicentes: “ Magister,volumus a te signum videre ”.	38 Then certain ones from the scribes and the Pharisees responded to him, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
39 Qui respondens ait illis: “ Generatio malaet adultera signum requirit; et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Ionaeprophetae.	39 And answering, he said to them: “An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. But a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
40 Sicut enim fuit Ionas in ventre ceti tribus diebus et tribusnoctibus, sic erit Filius hominis in corde terrae tribus diebus et tribusnoctibus.	40 For just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights, so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
41 Viri Ninevitae surgent in iudicio cum generatione ista etcondemnabunt eam, quia paenitentiam egerunt in praedicatione Ionae; et ecce plusquam Iona hic!	41 The men of Nineveh shall arise in judgment with this generation, and they shall condemn it. For, at the preaching of Jonah, they repented. And behold, there is a greater than Jonah here.
42 Regina austri surget in iudicio cum generatione ista etcondemnabit eam, quia venit a finibus terrae audire sapientiam Salomonis; etecce plus quam Salomon hic!	42 The Queen of the South shall arise in judgment with this generation, and she shall condemn it. For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, there is a greater than Solomon here.
43 Cum autem immundus spiritus exierit ab homine, ambulat per loca aridaquaerens requiem et non invenit.	43 Now when an unclean spirit departs from a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and he does not find it.
44 Tunc dicit: “Revertar in domum meam undeexivi”; et veniens invenit vacantem, scopis mundatam et ornatam.	44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house, from which I departed’. And arriving, he finds it vacant, swept clean, and decorated.
45 Tunc vaditet assumit secum septem alios spiritus nequiores se, et intrantes habitant ibi;et fiunt novissima hominis illius peiora prioribus. Sic erit et generationi huicpessimae ”.	45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and live there. And in the end, the man becomes worse than he was at first. So, too, shall it be with this most wicked generation.”
46 Adhuc eo loquente ad turbas, ecce mater et fratres eius stabant forisquaerentes loqui ei.	46 While he was still speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and his brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak with him.
47 Dixit autem ei quidam: “ Ecce mater tua et fratres tuiforis stant quaerentes loqui tecum ”.	47 And someone said to him: “Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking you.”
48 At ille respondens dicenti sibi ait:“ Quae est mater mea, et qui sunt fratres mei? ”.	48 But responding to the one speaking to him, he said, “Which one is my mother, and who are my brothers?”
49 Et extendens manum suamin discipulos suos dixit: “ Ecce mater mea et fratres mei.	49 And extending his hand to his disciples, he said: “Behold: my mother and my brothers.
50 Quicumque enimfecerit voluntatem Patris mei, qui in caelis est, ipse meus frater et soror etmater est ”.	50 For anyone who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
