1 « لا تَحكُمُوا عَلَى الآخَرِينَ، كَي لا يَحكُمَ اللهُ عَلَيكُمْ.

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

2 ل ِأنَّهُ سَيَحكُمُ بِالطَّرِيقَةِ الَّتِي تَحكُمُونَ بِها عَلَى الآخَرِينَ. وَبِالكَيلِ الَّذِي تَكِيلُونَ بِهِ لِلآخَرِيْنَ سَيُكالُ لَكُمْ.

For 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.

3 « لِماذا تَرَى القَشَّةَ فِي عَينِ أخِيكَ لَكِنَّكَ لا تُلاحِظُ الخَشَبَةَ الكَبِيْرَةَ فِي عَينِكَ أنتَ؟

Why 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?

4 و َكَيفَ يُمكِنُكَ أنْ تَقُولَ لِأخِيكَ: دَعنِي أُخرِجُ القَشَّةَ مِنْ عَينِكَ، وَهُناكَ خَشَبَةٌ كَبيرَةٌ فِيْ عَينِكَ؟

Or 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?

5 ي ا مُنافِقُ! أخرِجْ أوَّلاً الخَشَبَةَ مِنْ عَينِكَ، وَبَعدَ ذَلِكَ سَتَرَى بِوُضُوحٍ لإخراجِ القَشَّةِ مِنْ عَينِ أخِيكَ.

You 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.

6 « لا تُعطُوا ما هُوَ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلكِلابِ، وَلا تَرمُوا جَواهِرَكُمْ أمامَ الخَنازِيرِ! فَالخَنازِيرُ تَدُوسُها بِأرجُلِها، وَتَلتَفِتُ الكِلابُ إلَيكُمْ فَتُقَطِّعُكُمْ. المُواظَبَةُ عَلَى الطَّلَب

Do 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.

7 « اطلُبُوا تُعْطَوا، اسعُوا تَجِدُوا، اقرَعُوا يُفتَحْ لَكُمْ.

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

8 ل ِأنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَطلُبُ يَنالُ، وَكُلَّ مَنْ يَسعَى يَجِدُ، وَمَنْ يَقرَعُ يُفتَحُ لَهُ.

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

9 ف َمَنْ مِنكُمْ إنْ طَلَبَ ابْنُهُ رَغِيفَ خُبزٍ، يُعطِيهِ حَجَراً؟

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

10 أ وْ إنْ طَلَبَ سَمَكَةً، يُعطِيهِ حَيَّةً؟

Or if he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent?

11 أ نتُمْ، رُغمَ شَرِّكُمْ، تَعرِفُونَ كَيفَ تُعطُونَ أبناءَكُمْ عَطايا حَسَنَةً. أفَلَيْسَ الآبُ الَّذيْ فِيْ السَّماءِ أجدَرَ بِكَثِيرٍ بِأنْ يُعطِيَ عَطايا صالِحَةً لِلَّذِينَ يَطلُبُونَهُ؟ القاعِدَةُ الذَّهَبِيَّة

If 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!

12 « فَبِالكَيفيَّةِ الَّتيْ تُحِبُّ أنْ يُعامِلَكَ الآخَرُونَ بِها، هَكَذا عَلَيكَ أنْ تُعامِلَهُمْ. هَذِهِ هِيَ خُلاصَةُ شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى وَتَعلِيمِ الأنبِياءِ. طَرِيقُ السَّماءِ وَطَرِيقُ الجَحِيم

So 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.

13 « ادخُلُوا مِنَ البابِ الضَّيِّقِ، الَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إلَى السَّماءِ. لِأنَّ البابَ الَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إلَى الهَلاكِ واسِعٌ، وَالطَّرِيقُ إلَيهِ سَهلٌ، وَكَثِيرُونَ يَدخُلُونَهُ.

Enter 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.

14 أ مّا البابُ الَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إلَى الحَياةِ فَضَيِّقٌ جِدّاً، وَالطَّرِيقُ إلَيهِ مَلِيءٌ بِالصُّعُوباتِ، وَقَلِيلُونَ فَقَطْ هُمْ مَنْ يَجِدُونَ هَذا الطَّرِيقَ. تَحذيرٌ مِنَ التَّعاليمِ الكاذِبَة

But 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.

15 « احذَرُوا مِنَ الأنبِياءِ الكَذَبَةِ الَّذِينَ يَأتُونَ إلَيكُمْ فِي صُورَةِ خِرافٍ وَدِيعَةٍ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ فِي الدّاخِلِ ذِئابٌ مُفتَرِسَةٌ.

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

16 س َتَعرِفُونَهُمْ مِنْ أعمالِهِمْ. فَلا يَجنِي النّاسُ العِنَبَ مِنْ شُجَيراتِ الشَّوكِ، وَلا التِّينَ مِنَ العُلِّيقِ!

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

17 ك َذَلِكَ فَإنَّ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ صالِحَةٍ تُعطِي ثَمَراً صالِحاً، وَكُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ رَدِيئَةٍ تُعطِي ثَمَراً رَدِيئاً.

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

18 ل ا تَستَطِيعُ شَجَرَةٌ صالِحَةٌ أنْ تُنتِجَ ثَمَراً رَدِيئاً، وَلا شَجَرَةٌ رَدِيئَةٌ أنْ تُنتِجَ ثَمَراً صالِحاً.

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

19 و َكُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ لا تُنتِجُ ثَمَراً صالِحاً تُقطَعُ وَتُلقَى فِي النّارِ.

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

20 ل ِذَلِكَ سَتَعرِفُونَ الأنبِياءَ الكَذَبَةَ مِنْ ثَمَرِهمْ.

Therefore, you will fully know them by their fruits.

21 « ليسَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَقُولُ لِي: ‹يا رَبُّ، يا رَبُّ،› يَدخُلُ مَلَكُوتَ السَّماواتِ، بَلْ مَنْ يَعمَلُ مَشِيئَةَ أبِي الَّذِي فِي السَّماءِ.

Not 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.

22 ك َثِيرُونَ سَيَقُولُونَ لِي فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ الأخِيرِ: ‹يا رَبُّ، يا رَبُّ، ألَمْ نَتَنَبَّأ باسمِكَ؟ ألَمْ نَطرُدِ الأرواحَ الشِّرِّيرَةَ باسمِكَ؟ ألَمْ نَعمَلْ عَجائِبَ كَثِيرَةً باسمِكَ؟›

Many 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?

23 ح ِينَئِذٍ سَأقُولُ لَهُمْ بِوُضُوحٍ: لَمْ يَسبِقْ لِي أنْ عَرَفْتُكُمْ. ابتَعِدُوا عَنِّي يا فاعِلِي الشَّرِّ. الرَّجُلُ الذَّكِيُّ وَالرَّجُلُ الغَبِي

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

24 « كُلُّ مَنْ يَستَمِعُ إلَى تَعاليمي هَذَهِ وَيَعمَلُ بِها، أشْبَهُ بِرَجُلٍ ذَكِيٍّ بَنَى بَيتَهُ عَلَى الصَّخْرِ.

So 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.

25 ف َسَقَطَ المَطَرُ، وَارْتَفَعَتْ مِياهُ السُّيُولِ، وَهَبَّتِ الرِّيحُ وَضَرَبَتْ ذَلِكَ البَيتَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَسقُطْ، لِأنَّ أساسَهُ كانَ عَلَى الصَّخْرِ.

And 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.

26 و َكُلُّ مَنْ يَستَمِعُ إلَى كَلامِي هَذا وَلا يَعمَلُ بِهِ، فَهُوَ أشْبَهُ بِرَجُلٍ غَبِيٍّ بَنَى بَيتَهُ عَلَى الرَّملِ.

And 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.

27 ف َنَزَلَ المَطَرُ، وَارتَفَعَتْ مِياهُ السُّيُولِ، وَهَبَّتِ الرِّيحُ وَضَرَبَتْ ذَلِكَ البَيتَ، فَسَقَطَ سُقوطاً هائِلاً!»

And 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.

28 و َعِندَما أنهَى يَسُوعُ حَدِيثَهُ هَذا، ذُهِلَ النّاسُ مِنْ تَعلِيمِهِ،

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

29 ل ِأنَّهُ كانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ بِسُلطانٍ وَلَيسَ كَمُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ.

For He was teaching as One Who had authority, and not as the scribes.
