1 D o not judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves.

¶ No juzguéis, para que no seáis juzgados.

2 F or just as you judge and criticize and condemn others, you will be judged and criticized and condemned, and in accordance with the measure you deal out to others, it will be dealt out again to you.

Porque con el juicio con que juzgáis, seréis juzgados; y con la medida con que medís, os volverán a medir.

3 W hy do you stare from without at the very small particle that is in your brother’s eye but do not become aware of and consider the beam of timber that is in your own eye?

Y ¿por qué miras la mota que está en el ojo de tu hermano, y no echas de ver la viga que está en tu ojo?

4 O r how can you say to your brother, Let me get the tiny particle out of your eye, when there is the beam of timber in your own eye?

O ¿cómo dirás a tu hermano: Espera, echaré de tu ojo la mota, y he aquí hay una viga en tu ojo?

5 Y ou hypocrite, first get the beam of timber out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the tiny particle out of your brother’s eye.

¡Hipócrita! Echa primero la viga de tu ojo, y entonces mirarás en echar la mota del ojo de tu hermano.

6 D o not give that which is holy (the sacred thing) to the dogs, and do not throw your pearls before hogs, lest they trample upon them with their feet and turn and tear you in pieces.

No deis lo santo a los perros, ni echéis vuestras perlas delante de los puercos; no sea que las pisoteen, y se vuelvan y os despedacen.

7 K eep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking and will be opened to you.

¶ Pedid, y se os dará; buscad, y hallaréis; tocad, y se os abrirá.

8 F or everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, will be opened.

Porque cualquiera que pide, recibe; y el que busca, halla; y al que toca, se le abre.

9 O r what man is there of you, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone?

¿Qué hombre hay de vosotros, a quien si su hijo pidiere pan, le dará una piedra?

10 O r if he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent?

¿Y si le pidiere un pez, le dará una serpiente?

11 I f you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!

Pues si vosotros, siendo malos, sabéis dar buenas dádivas a vuestros hijos, ¿cuánto más vuestro Padre que está en los cielos, dará buenas cosas a los que le piden?

12 S o then, whatever you desire that others would do to and for you, even so do also to and for them, for this is (sums up) the Law and the Prophets.

¶ Así que, todas las cosas que quisiereis que los hombres hicieren con vosotros, así también haced vosotros con ellos; porque esta es la ley y los profetas.

13 E nter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it.

Entrad por la puerta estrecha: porque el camino que lleva a perdición es ancho y espacioso; y los que van por él, son muchos.

14 B ut the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.

Porque estrecha es la puerta, y angosto el camino que lleva a la vida; y pocos son los que lo hallan.

15 B eware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.

¶ También guardaos de los falsos profetas, que vienen a vosotros con vestidos de ovejas, mas de dentro son lobos robadores.

16 Y ou will fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Por sus frutos los conoceréis. ¿Se cogen uvas de los espinos, o higos de los abrojos?

17 E ven so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit '> worthy of admiration], but the sickly (decaying, worthless) tree bears bad (worthless) fruit.

De esta manera, todo buen árbol lleva buenos frutos; mas el árbol podrido lleva malos frutos.

18 A good (healthy) tree cannot bear bad (worthless) fruit, nor can a bad (diseased) tree bear excellent fruit.

No puede el buen árbol llevar malos frutos, ni el árbol podrido llevar frutos buenos.

19 E very tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

Todo árbol que no lleva buen fruto, se corta y se echa en el fuego.

20 T herefore, you will fully know them by their fruits.

Así que, por sus frutos los conoceréis.

21 N ot everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.

¶ No todo el que me dice: Señor, Señor, entrará en el Reino de los cielos, sino el que hiciere la voluntad de mi Padre que está en los cielos.

22 M any will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name?

Muchos me dirán en aquel día: Señor, Señor, ¿no profetizamos en tu nombre, y en tu nombre sacamos demonios, y en tu nombre hicimos muchas grandezas?

23 A nd then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly.

Y entonces les confesaré: Nunca os conocí; apartaos de mí, obradores de maldad.

24 S o everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them will be like a sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock.

Cualquiera, pues, que me oye estas palabras, y las hace, le compararé al varón prudente, que edificó su casa sobre la peña;

25 A nd the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

y descendió lluvia, y vinieron ríos, y soplaron vientos, y combatieron aquella casa; y no cayó, porque estaba fundada sobre la peña.

26 A nd everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand.

Y cualquiera que me oye estas palabras, y no las hace, le compararé al varón loco, que edificó su casa sobre la arena;

27 A nd the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great and complete was the fall of it.

y descendió lluvia, y vinieron ríos, y soplaron vientos, e hicieron ímpetu en aquella casa; y cayó; y fue grande su ruina.

28 W hen Jesus had finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished and overwhelmed with bewildered wonder at His teaching,

Y cuando Jesús acabó estas palabras, la multitud se admiraba de su doctrina;

29 F or He was teaching as One Who had authority, and not as the scribes.

porque les enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad, y no como los escribas.
