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

`Judge not, that ye may not be judged,

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

for in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you.

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

`And why dost thou behold the mote that in thy brother's eye, and the beam that in thine own eye dost not consider?

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

or, how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer I may cast out the mote from thine eye, and lo, the beam in thine own eye?

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

Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy 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

`Ye may not give that which is to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned -- may rend you.

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

`Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;

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

for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

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

`Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask a loaf -- a stone will he present to him?

10 أ وْ إنْ طَلَبَ سَمَكَةً، يُعطِيهِ حَيَّةً؟

and if a fish he may ask -- a serpent will he present to him?

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, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give to your children, how much more shall your Father who in the heavens give good things to those 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

`All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is 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.

`Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in 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

how strait the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!

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

`But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep's clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves.

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

From their fruits ye shall know them; do gather from thorns grapes? or from thistles figs?

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

so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits.

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

A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits.

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

Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast to fire:

20 ل ِذَلِكَ سَتَعرِفُونَ الأنبِياءَ الكَذَبَةَ مِنْ ثَمَرِهمْ.

therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.

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

`Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

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 in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things?

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

and then I will acknowledge to them, that -- I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness.

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

`Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a 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 did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for 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 every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a 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 did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.'

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

And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

29 ل ِأنَّهُ كانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ بِسُلطانٍ وَلَيسَ كَمُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ.

for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
