Matthew 7

1 “Do not judge, or you will be judged.

1 «لَا تَدِينُوا لِكَيْ لَا تُدَانُوا،

2 For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

2 لِأَنَّكُمْ بِٱلدَّيْنُونَةِ ٱلَّتِي بِهَا تَدِينُونَ تُدَانُونَ، وَبِالْكَيْلِ ٱلَّذِي بِهِ تَكِيلُونَ يُكَالُ لَكُمْ.

3 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

3 وَلِمَاذَا تَنْظُرُ ٱلْقَذَى ٱلَّذِي فِي عَيْنِ أَخِيكَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْخَشَبَةُ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَيْنِكَ فَلَا تَفْطَنُ لَهَا؟

4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye?

4 أَمْ كَيْفَ تَقُولُ لِأَخِيكَ: دَعْنِي أُخْرِجِ ٱلْقَذَى مِنْ عَيْنِكَ، وَهَا ٱلْخَشَبَةُ فِي عَيْنِكَ؟

5 You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

5 يَا مُرَائِي، أَخْرِجْ أَوَّلًا ٱلْخَشَبَةَ مِنْ عَيْنِكَ، وَحِينَئِذٍ تُبْصِرُ جَيِّدًا أَنْ تُخْرِجَ ٱلْقَذَى مِنْ عَيْنِ أَخِيكَ!

6 Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

6 لَا تُعْطُوا ٱلْقُدْسَ لِلْكِلَابِ، وَلَا تَطْرَحُوا دُرَرَكُمْ قُدَّامَ ٱلْخَنَازِيرِ، لِئَلَّا تَدُوسَهَا بِأَرْجُلِهَا وَتَلْتَفِتَ فَتُمَزِّقَكُمْ.

7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

7 «اِسْأَلُوا تُعْطَوْا. اُطْلُبُوا تَجِدُوا. اِقْرَعُوا يُفْتَحْ لَكُمْ.

8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

8 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَسْأَلُ يَأْخُذُ، وَمَنْ يَطْلُبُ يَجِدُ، وَمَنْ يَقْرَعُ يُفْتَحُ لَهُ.

9 Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

9 أَمْ أَيُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْكُمْ إِذَا سَأَلَهُ ٱبْنُهُ خُبْزًا، يُعْطِيهِ حَجَرًا؟

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?

10 وَإِنْ سَأَلَهُ سَمَكَةً، يُعْطِيهِ حَيَّةً؟

11 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

11 فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ أَشْرَارٌ تَعْرِفُونَ أَنْ تُعْطُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ عَطَايَا جَيِّدَةً، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ أَبُوكُمُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، يَهَبُ خَيْرَاتٍ لِلَّذِينَ يَسْأَلُونَهُ!

12 In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.

12 فَكُلُّ مَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ٱلنَّاسُ بِكُمُ ٱفْعَلُوا هَكَذَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا بِهِمْ، لِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلنَّامُوسُ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ.

13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

13 «اُدْخُلُوا مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلضَّيِّقِ، لِأَنَّهُ وَاسِعٌ ٱلْبَابُ وَرَحْبٌ ٱلطَّرِيقُ ٱلَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إِلَى ٱلْهَلَاكِ، وَكَثِيرُونَ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ مِنْهُ!

14 But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.

14 مَا أَضْيَقَ ٱلْبَابَ وَأَكْرَبَ ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إِلَى ٱلْحَيَاةِ، وَقَلِيلُونَ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَجِدُونَهُ!

15 Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

15 «اِحْتَرِزُوا مِنَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلْكَذَبَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَكُمْ بِثِيَابِ ٱلْحُمْلَانِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ ذِئَابٌ خَاطِفَةٌ!

16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

16 مِنْ ثِمَارِهِمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُمْ. هَلْ يَجْتَنُونَ مِنَ ٱلشَّوْكِ عِنَبًا، أَوْ مِنَ ٱلْحَسَكِ تِينًا؟

17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

17 هَكَذَا كُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ جَيِّدَةٍ تَصْنَعُ أَثْمَارًا جَيِّدَةً، وَأَمَّا ٱلشَّجَرَةُ ٱلرَّدِيَّةُ فَتَصْنَعُ أَثْمَارًا رَدِيَّةً،

18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

18 لَا تَقْدِرُ شَجَرَةٌ جَيِّدَةٌ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ أَثْمَارًا رَدِيَّةً، وَلَا شَجَرَةٌ رَدِيَّةٌ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ أَثْمَارًا جَيِّدَةً.

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

19 كُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ لَا تَصْنَعُ ثَمَرًا جَيِّدًا تُقْطَعُ وَتُلْقَى فِي ٱلنَّارِ.

20 So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.

20 فَإِذًا مِنْ ثِمَارِهِمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُمْ.

21 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

21 «لَيْسَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَقُولُ لِي: يَارَبُّ، يَارَبُّ! يَدْخُلُ مَلَكُوتَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. بَلِ ٱلَّذِي يَفْعَلُ إِرَادَةَ أَبِي ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’

22 كَثِيرُونَ سَيَقُولُونَ لِي فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ: يَارَبُّ، يَارَبُّ! أَلَيْسَ بِٱسْمِكَ تَنَبَّأْنَا، وَبِٱسْمِكَ أَخْرَجْنَا شَيَاطِينَ، وَبِٱسْمِكَ صَنَعْنَا قُوَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً؟

23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’

23 فَحِينَئِذٍ أُصَرِّحُ لَهُمْ: إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْرِفْكُمْ قَطُّ! ٱذْهَبُوا عَنِّي يافَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ!

24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

24 «فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالِي هَذِهِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِهَا، أُشَبِّهُهُ بِرَجُلٍ عَاقِلٍ، بَنَى بَيْتَهُ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ.

25 The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock.

25 فَنَزَلَ ٱلْمَطَرُ، وَجَاءَتِ ٱلْأَنْهَارُ، وَهَبَّتِ ٱلرِّيَاحُ، وَوَقَعَتْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْبَيْتِ فَلَمْ يَسْقُطْ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُؤَسَّسًا عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ.

26 But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

26 وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالِي هَذِهِ وَلَا يَعْمَلُ بِهَا، يُشَبَّهُ بِرَجُلٍ جَاهِلٍ، بَنَى بَيْتَهُ عَلَى ٱلرَّمْلِ.

27 The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!”

27 فَنَزَلَ ٱلْمَطَرُ، وَجَاءَتِ ٱلْأَنْهَارُ، وَهَبَّتِ ٱلرِّيَاحُ، وَصَدَمَتْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْبَيْتَ فَسَقَطَ، وَكَانَ سُقُوطُهُ عَظِيمًا!».

28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,

28 فَلَمَّا أَكْمَلَ يَسُوعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْوَالَ بُهِتَتِ ٱلْجُمُوعُ مِنْ تَعْلِيمِهِ،

29 because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

29 لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ كَمَنْ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ وَلَيْسَ كَٱلْكَتَبَةِ.
