< Κατα Ματθαιον 12 >
1 εν εκεινω τω καιρω επορευθη ο ιησους τοις σαββασιν δια των σποριμων οι δε μαθηται αυτου επεινασαν και ηρξαντο τιλλειν σταχυας και εσθιειν
At that time Jesus, on the sabbath, walked in the tillage grounds: and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears and to eat.
2 οι δε φαρισαιοι ιδοντες ειπον αυτω ιδου οι μαθηται σου ποιουσιν ο ουκ εξεστιν ποιειν εν σαββατω
And when the Pharisees saw them, they said to him: See; thy disciples are doing that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.
3 ο δε ειπεν αυτοις ουκ ανεγνωτε τι εποιησεν δαυιδ οτε επεινασεν αυτος και οι μετ αυτου
But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him?
4 πως εισηλθεν εις τον οικον του θεου και τους αρτους της προθεσεως εφαγεν ους ουκ εξον ην αυτω φαγειν ουδε τοις μετ αυτου ει μη μονοις τοις ιερευσιν
How he went to the house of God, and ate the bread of the Lord's table; which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but solely for the priests?
5 η ουκ ανεγνωτε εν τω νομω οτι τοις σαββασιν οι ιερεις εν τω ιερω το σαββατον βεβηλουσιν και αναιτιοι εισιν
Or have ye not read in the law, how that in the temple the priests profane the sabbath, and are without fault?
6 λεγω δε υμιν οτι του ιερου μειζον εστιν ωδε
But I say to you, that a greater than the temple is here.
7 ει δε εγνωκειτε τι εστιν ελεον θελω και ου θυσιαν ουκ αν κατεδικασατε τους αναιτιους
And if ye had known what that is, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; ye would not have criminated them who are without fault.
8 κυριος γαρ εστιν ο υιος του ανθρωπου και του σαββατου
For the Son of man, is lord of the sabbath.
9 και μεταβας εκειθεν ηλθεν εις την συναγωγην αυτων
And Jesus went from there, and came to their synagogue.
10 και ιδου ανθρωπος ην εκει την χειρα εχων ξηραν και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντες ει εξεστιν τοις σαββασιν θεραπευειν ινα κατηγορησωσιν αυτου
And a man was there, whose hand was withered. And they questioned him and said, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might defame him.
11 ο δε ειπεν αυτοις τις εσται εξ υμων ανθρωπος ος εξει προβατον εν και εαν εμπεση τουτο τοις σαββασιν εις βοθυνον ουχι κρατησει αυτο και εγερει
And he said to them, What man among you is there, who, if he have a sheep, and it fall into a pit on the day of the sabbath, doth not lay hold of it and lift it out?
12 ποσω ουν διαφερει ανθρωπος προβατου ωστε εξεστιν τοις σαββασιν καλως ποιειν
Now, how much better is a human being than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do what is good, on the sabbath.
13 τοτε λεγει τω ανθρωπω εκτεινον σου την χειρα και εξετεινεν και αποκατεσταθη υγιης ως η αλλη
Then said he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched out his hand; and it was restored, and like the other.
14 εξελθοντες δε οι φαρισαιοι συμβουλιον ελαβον κατ αυτου οπως αυτον απολεσωσιν
And the Pharisees went out and held a consultation against him, that they might destroy him.
15 ο δε ιησους γνους ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν και ηκολουθησαν αυτω οχλοι πολλοι και εθεραπευσεν αυτους παντας
But Jesus knew it; and he retired from there. And great multitudes followed him: and he cured them all.
16 και επετιμησεν αυτοις ινα μη φανερον ποιησωσιν αυτον
And he charged them not to make him known:
17 οπως πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια ησαιου του προφητου λεγοντος
that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, saying:
18 ιδου ο παις μου ον ηρετισα ο αγαπητος μου εις ον ευδοκησεν η ψυχη μου θησω το πνευμα μου επ αυτον και κρισιν τοις εθνεσιν απαγγελει
Behold my servant, in whom I have complacency; my beloved, in whom my soul delighteth. I will put my spirit upon him; and he shall proclaim judgment to the Gentiles.
19 ουκ ερισει ουδε κραυγασει ουδε ακουσει τις εν ταις πλατειαις την φωνην αυτου
He shall not contend, nor be clamorous, nor shall any one hear his voice in the market-place.
20 καλαμον συντετριμμενον ου κατεαξει και λινον τυφομενον ου σβεσει εως αν εκβαλη εις νικος την κρισιν
The crushed reed he will not break; and the flickering lamp he will not extinguish; until he bring judgment to be victorious.
21 και τω ονοματι αυτου εθνη ελπιουσιν
And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
22 τοτε προσηνεχθη αυτω δαιμονιζομενος τυφλος και κωφος και εθεραπευσεν αυτον ωστε τον τυφλον και κωφον και λαλειν και βλεπειν
Then they brought to him a demoniac that was dumb and blind; and he healed him, so that the dumb and blind man both talked and saw.
23 και εξισταντο παντες οι οχλοι και ελεγον μητι ουτος εστιν ο χριστος ο υιος δαυιδ
And all the multitude were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David?
24 οι δε φαρισαιοι ακουσαντες ειπον ουτος ουκ εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια ει μη εν [ τω ] βεελζεβουλ αρχοντι των δαιμονιων
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said: This man doth not cast out demons, except by Beelzebub the prince of demons.
25 ειδως δε ο ιησους τας ενθυμησεις αυτων ειπεν αυτοις πασα βασιλεια μερισθεισα καθ εαυτην ερημουται και πασα πολις η οικια μερισθεισα καθ εαυτην ου σταθησεται
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: Every kingdom that is divided against itself, will become desolate; and every house or city which is divided against itself, will not stand.
26 και ει ο σατανας τον σαταναν εκβαλλει εφ εαυτον εμερισθη πως ουν σταθησεται η βασιλεια αυτου
Now if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then doth his kingdom stand?
27 και ει εγω εν βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια οι υιοι υμων εν τινι εκβαλουσιν δια τουτο αυτοι κριται εσονται υμων
And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Wherefore they will be your judges.
28 ει δε εγω εν πνευματι θεου εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια αρα εφθασεν εφ υμας η βασιλεια του θεου
But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, the kingdom of God hath come near to you.
29 η πως δυναται τις εισελθειν εις την οικιαν του ισχυρου και τα σκευη αυτου αρπασαι εαν μη πρωτον δηση τον ισχυρον και τοτε την οικιαν αυτου διαρπασει
Or how can one enter the house of a strong man, and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? and then he may plunder his house.
30 ο μη ων μετ εμου κατ εμου εστιν και ο μη συναγων μετ εμου σκορπιζει
He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me actually scattereth.
31 δια τουτο λεγω υμιν πασα αμαρτια και βλασφημια αφεθησεται τοις ανθρωποις η δε του πνευματος βλασφημια ουκ αφεθησεται τοις ανθρωποις
Therefore I say to you, that all sins and contumelies shall be forgiven to men; but the contumely which is against the Spirit, shall not be forgiven to men.
32 και ος εαν ειπη λογον κατα του υιου του ανθρωπου αφεθησεται αυτω ος δ αν ειπη κατα του πνευματος του αγιου ουκ αφεθησεται αυτω ουτε εν τω νυν αιωνι ουτε εν τω μελλοντι (aiōn )
And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him: but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him; not in this world, and not in the world to come. (aiōn )
33 η ποιησατε το δενδρον καλον και τον καρπον αυτου καλον η ποιησατε το δενδρον σαπρον και τον καρπον αυτου σαπρον εκ γαρ του καρπου το δενδρον γινωσκεται
Either make the tree good, and its fruits good; or make the tree bad, and its fruits bad: for a tree is known by its fruits.
34 γεννηματα εχιδνων πως δυνασθε αγαθα λαλειν πονηροι οντες εκ γαρ του περισσευματος της καρδιας το στομα λαλει
Offspring of vipers, how can ye who are evil, speak good things? For out of the fullnesses of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 ο αγαθος ανθρωπος εκ του αγαθου θησαυρου εκβαλλει αγαθα και ο πονηρος ανθρωπος εκ του πονηρου θησαυρου εκβαλλει πονηρα
A good man out of good treasures bringeth forth good things, and a bad man out of bad treasures bringeth forth bad things.
36 λεγω δε υμιν οτι παν ρημα αργον ο εαν λαλησωσιν οι ανθρωποι αποδωσουσιν περι αυτου λογον εν ημερα κρισεως
For I say to you, That for every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account of it in the day of judgment.
37 εκ γαρ των λογων σου δικαιωθηση και εκ των λογων σου καταδικασθηση
For by thy words thou shalt be justified; and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 τοτε απεκριθησαν τινες των γραμματεων και φαρισαιων λεγοντες διδασκαλε θελομεν απο σου σημειον ιδειν
Then answered some of the Scribes and of the Pharisees, and said to him: Teacher, we wish to see from thee a sign.
39 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις γενεα πονηρα και μοιχαλις σημειον επιζητει και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον ιωνα του προφητου
But he replied and said to them: A wicked and adulterous generation demandeth a sign: but a sign will not be given to it, unless it be the sign of Jonah the prophet.
40 ωσπερ γαρ εγενετο ιωνας ο προφητης εν τη κοιλια του κητους τρεις ημερας και τρεις νυκτας ουτως εσται [ και ] ο υιος του ανθρωπου εν τη καρδια της γης τρεις ημερας και τρεις νυκτας
For as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights; so will the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
41 ανδρες νινευιται αναστησονται εν τη κρισει μετα της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινουσιν αυτην οτι μετενοησαν εις το κηρυγμα ιωνα και ιδου πλειον ιωνα ωδε
The people of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment against this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and lo, a greater than Jonah is here.
42 βασιλισσα νοτου εγερθησεται εν τη κρισει μετα της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινει αυτην οτι ηλθεν εκ των περατων της γης ακουσαι την σοφιαν σολομωνος και ιδου πλειον σολομωνος ωδε
The queen of the south will stand up in the judgment against this generation, and will condemn it: for she came from the extremities of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo, a superior to Solomon is here.
43 οταν δε το ακαθαρτον πνευμα εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου διερχεται δι ανυδρων τοπων ζητουν αναπαυσιν και ουχ ευρισκει
And when an unclean spirit goeth out of a man, it wandereth in places where is no water, and seeketh comfort and findeth it not.
44 τοτε λεγει εις τον οικον μου επιστρεψω οθεν εξηλθον και ελθον ευρισκει σχολαζοντα [ και ] σεσαρωμενον και κεκοσμημενον
Then it saith: I will return to my house, from which I came out. And it cometh, and findeth it vacated, and swept clean, and set in order.
45 τοτε πορευεται και παραλαμβανει μεθ εαυτου επτα ετερα πνευματα πονηροτερα εαυτου και εισελθοντα κατοικει εκει και γινεται τα εσχατα του ανθρωπου εκεινου χειρονα των πρωτων ουτως εσται και τη γενεα τη πονηρα ταυτη
So it goeth and taketh with it seven other spirits, worse than itself, and they enter and dwell in it; and the end of that man is worse than his beginning. So will it be to this evil generation.
46 ετι δε αυτου λαλουντος τοις οχλοις ιδου η μητηρ και οι αδελφοι αυτου ειστηκεισαν εξω ζητουντες λαλησαι αυτω
And while he was discoursing to the multitudes, his mother and his brothers came and stood with out, and sought to speak with him.
47 ειπεν δε τις αυτω ιδου η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου εστηκασιν εξω ζητουντες σε ιδειν
And a person said to him: Lo, thy mother and thy brothers stand without, and seek to speak with thee.
48 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν τω λεγοντι αυτω τις εστιν η μητηρ μου και τινες εισιν οι αδελφοι μου
But he replied, and said to him that informed him: Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?
49 και εκτεινας την χειρα αυτου επι τους μαθητας αυτου εφη ιδου η μητηρ μου και οι αδελφοι μου
And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said: Behold my mother, and behold my brothers!
50 οστις γαρ αν ποιηση το θελημα του πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις αυτος μου αδελφος και αδελφη και μητηρ εστιν
For every one that doeth the good pleasure of my Father who is in heaven, that person is my brother, and my sister, and my mother.
