< Matthew 7 >
1 Do not judge, that you may not be judged.
yathA yUyaM doShIkR^itA na bhavatha, tatkR^ite. anyaM doShiNaM mA kuruta|
2 For, just as you judge others, you will yourselves be judged, and the measure that you mete will be meted out to you.
yato yAdR^ishena doSheNa yUyaM parAn doShiNaH kurutha, tAdR^ishena doSheNa yUyamapi doShIkR^itA bhaviShyatha, anya ncha yena parimANena yuShmAbhiH parimIyate, tenaiva parimANena yuShmatkR^ite parimAyiShyate|
3 And why do you look at the straw in your brother’s eye, while you pay no attention at all to the beam in yours?
apara ncha nijanayane yA nAsA vidyate, tAm anAlochya tava sahajasya lochane yat tR^iNam Aste, tadeva kuto vIkShase?
4 How will you say to your brother ‘Let me take out the straw from your eye,’ when all the time there is a beam in your own?
tava nijalochane nAsAyAM vidyamAnAyAM, he bhrAtaH, tava nayanAt tR^iNaM bahiShyartuM anujAnIhi, kathAmetAM nijasahajAya kathaM kathayituM shaknoShi?
5 Hypocrite! Take out the beam from your own eye first, and then you will see clearly how to take out the straw from your brother’s.
he kapaTin, Adau nijanayanAt nAsAM bahiShkuru tato nijadR^iShTau suprasannAyAM tava bhrAtR^i rlochanAt tR^iNaM bahiShkartuM shakShyasi|
6 Do not give what is sacred to dogs; nor yet throw your pearls before pigs, lest they should trample them under their feet, and then turn and attack you.
anya ncha sArameyebhyaH pavitravastUni mA vitarata, varAhANAM samakSha ncha muktA mA nikShipata; nikShepaNAt te tAH sarvvAH padai rdalayiShyanti, parAvR^itya yuShmAnapi vidArayiShyanti|
7 Ask, and your prayer shall be granted; search, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.
yAchadhvaM tato yuShmabhyaM dAyiShyate; mR^igayadhvaM tata uddeshaM lapsyadhve; dvAram Ahata, tato yuShmatkR^ite muktaM bhaviShyati|
8 For he that asks receives, he that searches finds, and to him that knocks the door shall be opened.
yasmAd yena yAchyate, tena labhyate; yena mR^igyate tenoddeshaH prApyate; yena cha dvAram Ahanyate, tatkR^ite dvAraM mochyate|
9 Who among you, when his son asks him for a loaf, will give him a stone,
Atmajena pUpe prArthite tasmai pAShANaM vishrANayati,
10 or when he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
mIne yAchite cha tasmai bhujagaM vitarati, etAdR^ishaH pitA yuShmAkaM madhye ka Aste?
11 If you, then, wicked though you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in Heaven give what is good to those that ask him!
tasmAd yUyam abhadrAH santo. api yadi nijabAlakebhya uttamaM dravyaM dAtuM jAnItha, tarhi yuShmAkaM svargasthaH pitA svIyayAchakebhyaH kimuttamAni vastUni na dAsyati?
12 Do to others whatever you would wish them to do to you; for that is the teaching of both the Law and the Prophets.
yUShmAn pratItareShAM yAdR^isho vyavahAro yuShmAkaM priyaH, yUyaM tAn prati tAdR^ishAneva vyavahArAn vidhatta; yasmAd vyavasthAbhaviShyadvAdinAM vachanAnAm iti sAram|
13 Go in by the small gate. Broad and spacious is the road that leads to destruction, and those that go in by it are many;
sa NkIrNadvAreNa pravishata; yato narakagamanAya yad dvAraM tad vistIrNaM yachcha vartma tad bR^ihat tena bahavaH pravishanti|
14 for small is the gate, and narrow the road, that leads to Life, and those that find it are few.
aparaM svargagamanAya yad dvAraM tat kIdR^ik saMkIrNaM| yachcha vartma tat kIdR^ig durgamam| taduddeShTAraH kiyanto. alpAH|
15 Beware of false Teachers — men who come to you in the guise of sheep, but at heart they are ravenous wolves.
apara ncha ye janA meShaveshena yuShmAkaM samIpam AgachChanti, kintvantardurantA vR^ikA etAdR^ishebhyo bhaviShyadvAdibhyaH sAvadhAnA bhavata, yUyaM phalena tAn parichetuM shaknutha|
16 By the fruit of their lives you will know them. Do people gather grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?
manujAH kiM kaNTakino vR^ikShAd drAkShAphalAni shR^igAlakolitashcha uDumbaraphalAni shAtayanti?
17 So, too, every sound tree bears good fruit, while a worthless tree bears bad fruit.
tadvad uttama eva pAdapa uttamaphalAni janayati, adhamapAdapaevAdhamaphalAni janayati|
18 A sound tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a worthless tree bear good fruit.
kintUttamapAdapaH kadApyadhamaphalAni janayituM na shaknoti, tathAdhamopi pAdapa uttamaphalAni janayituM na shaknoti|
19 Every tree that fails to bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
aparaM ye ye pAdapA adhamaphalAni janayanti, te kR^ittA vahnau kShipyante|
20 Hence it is by the fruit of their lives that you will know such men.
ataeva yUyaM phalena tAn paricheShyatha|
21 Not every one who says to me ‘Master! Master!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven.
ye janA mAM prabhuM vadanti, te sarvve svargarAjyaM pravekShyanti tanna, kintu yo mAnavo mama svargasthasya pituriShTaM karmma karoti sa eva pravekShyati|
22 On ‘That Day’ many will say to me ‘Master, Master, was not it in your name that we taught, and in your name that we drove out demons, and in your name that we did many miracles?’
tad dine bahavo mAM vadiShyanti, he prabho he prabho, tava nAmnA kimasmAmi rbhaviShyadvAkyaM na vyAhR^itaM? tava nAmnA bhUtAH kiM na tyAjitAH? tava nAmnA kiM nAnAdbhutAni karmmANi na kR^itAni?
23 And then I shall say to them plainly ‘I never knew you. Go from my presence, you who live in sin.’
tadAhaM vadiShyAmi, he kukarmmakAriNo yuShmAn ahaM na vedmi, yUyaM matsamIpAd dUrIbhavata|
24 Everyone, therefore, that listens to this teaching of mine and acts upon it may be compared to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock.
yaH kashchit mamaitAH kathAH shrutvA pAlayati, sa pAShANopari gR^ihanirmmAtrA j nAninA saha mayopamIyate|
25 The rain poured down, the rivers rose, the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, for its foundations were upon the rock.
yato vR^iShTau satyAm AplAva Agate vAyau vAte cha teShu tadgehaM lagneShu pAShANopari tasya bhittestanna patati
26 And every one that listens to this teaching of mine and does not act upon it may be compared to a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.
kintu yaH kashchit mamaitAH kathAH shrutvA na pAlayati sa saikate gehanirmmAtrA. aj nAninA upamIyate|
27 The rain poured down, the rivers rose, the winds blew and struck against that house, and it fell; and great was its downfall.”
yato jalavR^iShTau satyAm AplAva Agate pavane vAte cha tai rgR^ihe samAghAte tat patati tatpatanaM mahad bhavati|
28 By the time that Jesus had finished speaking, the crowd was filled with amazement at his teaching.
yIshunaiteShu vAkyeShu samApiteShu mAnavAstadIyopadesham AshcharyyaM menire|
29 For he taught them like one who had authority, and not like their Teachers of the Law.
yasmAt sa upAdhyAyA iva tAn nopadidesha kintu samarthapuruShaiva samupadidesha|
