Matthew 7
1 “Do not talk about how sinfully others have acted, in order that God will not say how sinfully you have acted.
| «در مورد دیگران قضاوت نکنید، تا خودتان مورد قضاوت قرار نگیرید. |
2 If you condemn [other people], [God] will condemn you. To the same extent that you condemn others, you will be condemned {[God] will condemn you}.
| زیرا هر طور که دیگران را مورد قضاوت قرار دهید و برایشان رأی صادر کنید، همان‌گونه نیز در مورد شما قضاوت خواهد شد. و با همان معیاری که دیگران را قضاوت کنید، خود نیز مورد قضاوت قرار خواهید گرفت. |
3 (None of you should be concerned [about someone else’s small faults] [MET]!/Why should any of you be concerned [about someone else’s small faults]?) [MET, RHQ] [That would be like noticing] a speck in that person’s eye. But you should [be concerned about your own big faults. They are like] [MET] planks in your own eye, which you do not notice.
| چرا پَرِ کاه را در چشم برادرت می‌بینی، اما تیر چوب را در چشم خود نمی‌بینی؟ |
4 (You should not say to other people [about their minor faults], ‘Let me remove the specks from your eyes!’/Why do you say to other people [about their minor faults], ‘Let me remove the specks from your eyes?’) [RHQ] [You should not say that] if a plank is still in your own eye [MET].
| چگونه جرأت می‌کنی به برادرت بگویی:”بگذار پر کاه را از چشمت درآورم“، حال آنکه خودت تیرِ چوبی در چشم داری؟ |
5 You hypocrite, [stop committing your own sins! That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye [MET]. Then, as a result, you will be able to perceive things spiritually so that you can help other people get rid of the [faults] [MET] [that are like] specks in their eyes.”
| ای ریاکار، نخست چوب را از چشم خود درآور، آنگاه می‌توانی بهتر ببینی تا پرِ کاه را از چشم برادرت درآوری. |
6 “You do not give holy things to dogs [that would ignore those things] and attack you [CHI]. You do not throw pearls in front of hogs, [because they would just ignore them] and trample them. [Similarly], do not give [precious spiritual truth to people you know will not value it but instead will do evil things to you].”
| «آنچه مقدّس است به سگها ندهید، و مرواریدهای خود را جلوی خوکها نیندازید، زیرا آنها مرواریدها را لگدمال می‌کنند و برگشته، به شما حمله‌ور می‌شوند. |
7 “Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you. Confidently keep [expecting God to give you the things that you need, and he will give them to you. It will be like] [MET] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying persistently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] [MET] knocking [on a door in order to enter a room]. And the way will be opened {[God] will open the way} for you [to get what you pray for].
| «درخواست کنید تا به شما داده شود؛ بجویید تا پیدا کنید؛ بکوبید تا در به روی شما باز شود. |
8 Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep persistently praying for].
| زیرا هر که درخواست کند، به دست خواهد آورد، و هر که بجوید، پیدا خواهد کرد، و هر که بکوبد، در به رویش باز خواهد شد. |
9 (No man among you would give a stone to his son if his son were to ask for bread./Would anyone among you give a stone to his son if his son were to ask for bread?) [RHQ]
| کدام یک از شما اگر فرزندش از او نان بخواهد، به او سنگ می‌دهد؟ |
10 Likewise, (no man would give a [poisonous] snake to his son if his son would ask for a fish./would anyone give a [poisonous] snake to his son if his son would ask for a fish?) [RHQ]
| یا اگر ماهی بخواهد، به او مار می‌دهد؟ |
11 You, who are evil, know how to give good things to your children. So [God], your Father who is in heaven, will certainly give good things to the people who ask him.”
| پس اگر شما، اشخاص گناهکار، می‌دانید که باید چیزهای خوب را به فرزندانتان بدهید، چقدر بیشتر پدر آسمانی شما به کسانی که از او درخواست کنند، هدایای خوب عطا خواهد کرد. |
12 “So in whatever way you want others to act toward you [(pl)], that is the way you [(pl)] should act toward them, because that [sums up what Moses wrote in] the laws [that God gave him] and [also what] the prophets [wrote long ago].”
| پس با مردم آن گونه رفتار کنید که انتظار دارید با شما رفتار کنند. این است اصل تورات و کتب انبیا. |
13 “[Going to] where people live eternally [with God in heaven] is difficult. [It is like] going along a narrow road [PRS, MET] that leads to a narrow gate. Not many people find that way. [The way] that most [people take] is easy, [but it results in their being punished] {[God punishing them]} [in hell. That way is like a] wide road that people walk on [PRS, MET] until they reach the wide gate, but that road and that gate lead to where [they] will be destroyed {[God] will destroy them}. Many people enter that gate. So I [am telling you to leave the wide road and] enter the narrow gate [to heaven].” (questioned)
| «تنها با عبور از درِ تنگ می‌توانید به ملکوت خدا دست یابید. راهی که به سوی هلاکت می‌رود بسیار عریض است و دروازه‌اش بسیار وسیع، و کسانی که آن را انتخاب می‌کنند، بسیارند. |
| اما دری که به روی حیات جاودان گشوده می‌شود، بسیار تنگ است و راهش نیز باریک، و تنها عدهٔ کمی به آن راه می‌یابند. |
15 “Beware of people who come to you and say falsely that they are telling you [what God has said]. [They seem to be harmless, but they are extremely harmful. They are like] wolves that have covered themselves with sheepskins [to make people believe that they are sheep] [MET], but they actually are wolves that attack people [MET].
| «مراقب پیامبران دروغین باشید، آنها که در لباس میشِ بی‌آزار نزد شما می‌آیند، اما در واقع گرگهای درنده می‌باشند. |
16 [So how will you know that they are false?] Well, by seeing what plants produce, you know [what kind of plants] they are [MET]. [For example, thornbushes cannot produce grapes], so (no one can pick grapes from thornbushes./can anyone pick grapes from thornbushes?) [RHQ] And [thistles cannot produce figs], so (no one can pick figs from thistles./can anyone pick figs from thistles?) [RHQ]
| ایشان را می‌توانید از میوه‌هایشان بشناسید، یعنی از شیوۀ عملکردشان. آیا انگور را از بوتۀ خار یا انجیر را از خَس می‌چینند؟ |
17 [Here is another example]: All good fruit trees produce good fruit, but all unhealthy trees produce worthless fruit.
| درخت خوب، میوهٔ خوب می‌دهد و درخت بد، میوهٔ بد. |
18 No good fruit tree is able to produce worthless fruit, and no unhealthy tree is able to produce good fruit.
| درخت خوب نمی‌تواند میوهٔ بد بدهد؛ درخت بد نیز نمی‌تواند میوهٔ خوب بدهد. |
19 [And] all the trees that do not produce good fruit are chopped down and burned in a fire {people chop them down and burn them in a fire} [to get rid of them]. [Similarly], those who falsely claim to be prophets [will be thrown] {[God will throw false prophets]} [into the fires of hell]. (questioned)
| پس هر درختی که میوهٔ بد بدهد، بریده شده، در آتش انداخته می‌شود. |
20 By seeing [what plants] produce, you know [what kind of plants] they are. [Similarly, when you see what the people who come to you do], [you will know if they are false prophets].”
| بله، همان‌طور که درخت را از میوه‌اش می‌شناسند، شما نیز می‌توانید مردم را از اعمالشان بشناسید. |
21 “[Even though many] people [habitually] call me ‘Lord’, [pretending that they have my authority], some of them will not go to heaven where God rules, [because they do not do what he desires]. [Only] those people who do what my Father, who is in heaven, desires [will go there].
| «گمان مبرید هر که مرا”خداوندا! خداوندا!“صدا کند، وارد ملکوت آسمان خواهد شد. فقط آنانی وارد خواهند شد که ارادۀ پدر آسمانی مرا در عمل به‌جا آوَرَند. |
22 On the day [MTY] [that God judges everyone], many [people, trying to tell me that they deserve to go to heaven], will say to me, ‘Lord, we(exc) spoke God’s message as your representatives [MTY, RHQ]! As your representatives we(exc) expelled demons from [people] [RHQ]! And as your representatives, many times we(exc) performed miracles [RHQ]!’
| در روز داوری، بسیاری به من خواهند گفت:”خداوندا! خداوندا! ما به نام تو نبوّت کرده، پیام تو را به مردم رساندیم، و با ذکر نام تو، ارواح پلید را اخراج کردیم، و معجزاتِ بسیاری به نام تو انجام دادیم.“ |
23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I have never said that you belonged to me. Go away from me, you who do what is evil!’”
| اما من با صراحت پاسخ خواهم داد:”هرگز شما را نشناخته‌ام. از من دور شوید، ای بدکاران.“» |
24 “So then, anyone who hears what I say and does what I command, will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
| «هر که به تعالیم من گوش فرا می‌دهد و به آنها عمل می‌کند، شخصی داناست. او مانند کسی است که خانه‌اش را بر صخره‌ای محکم بنا کرد. |
25 [Even though] the rain came down and the river flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it did not fall down because it had been built {he built it} on a solid foundation.
| هر چه باران بارید و سیل آمد، و باد و توفان بر آن خانه وزید، خراب نشد، زیرا روی صخره بنا شده بود. |
26 On the other hand, anyone who hears what I say but does not obey what I say will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
| اما هر که تعالیم مرا بشنود و از آنها اطاعت نکند، نادان است. او مانند کسی است که خانه‌اش را بر شن و ماسه بنا کرد. |
27 When the rain fell and the rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it crashed down and broke completely apart, [because it was built on the sand. So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
| وقتی باران و سیل آمد و باد و توفان بر آن خانه وزید، چنان خراب شد که اثری از آن باقی نماند.» |
28 When Jesus finished saying all those things, the [who had been listening to him were] amazed at the [new] teaching that he had taught them.
| وقتی عیسی بیان این امور را به پایان رساند، جماعت از تعلیم او شگفت‌زده شدند، |
29 The reason they were amazed was that he was teaching as a person does who has authority. He was not teaching like the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, [who just repeated what other people had taught them].
| زیرا با قدرت و اقتدار به ایشان تعلیم می‌داد، نه مانند علمای دین یهود. |
