mathiḥ 7
1 yathā yūyaṁ doṣīkṛtā na bhavatha, tatkṛte'nyaṁ doṣiṇaṁ mā kuruta|
Do not judge, that you may not be judged.
2 yato yādṛśena doṣeṇa yūyaṁ parān doṣiṇaḥ kurutha, tādṛśena doṣeṇa yūyamapi doṣīkṛtā bhaviṣyatha, anyañca yena parimāṇena yuṣmābhiḥ parimīyate, tenaiva parimāṇena yuṣmatkṛte parimāyiṣyate|
For, just as you judge others, you will yourselves be judged, and the measure that you mete will be meted out to you.
3 aparañca nijanayane yā nāsā vidyate, tām anālocya tava sahajasya locane yat tṛṇam āste, tadeva kuto vīkṣase?
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?
4 tava nijalocane nāsāyāṁ vidyamānāyāṁ, he bhrātaḥ, tava nayanāt tṛṇaṁ bahiṣyartuṁ anujānīhi, kathāmetāṁ nijasahajāya kathaṁ kathayituṁ śaknoṣi?
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?
5 he kapaṭin, ādau nijanayanāt nāsāṁ bahiṣkuru tato nijadṛṣṭau suprasannāyāṁ tava bhrātṛ rlocanāt tṛṇaṁ bahiṣkartuṁ śakṣyasi|
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.
6 anyañca sārameyebhyaḥ pavitravastūni mā vitarata, varāhāṇāṁ samakṣañca muktā mā nikṣipata; nikṣepaṇāt te tāḥ sarvvāḥ padai rdalayiṣyanti, parāvṛtya yuṣmānapi vidārayiṣyanti|
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.
7 yācadhvaṁ tato yuṣmabhyaṁ dāyiṣyate; mṛgayadhvaṁ tata uddeśaṁ lapsyadhve; dvāram āhata, tato yuṣmatkṛte muktaṁ bhaviṣyati|
Ask, and your prayer shall be granted; search, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.
8 yasmād yena yācyate, tena labhyate; yena mṛgyate tenoddeśaḥ prāpyate; yena ca dvāram āhanyate, tatkṛte dvāraṁ mocyate|
For he that asks receives, he that searches finds, and to him that knocks the door shall be opened.
9 ātmajena pūpe prārthite tasmai pāṣāṇaṁ viśrāṇayati,
Who among you, when his son asks him for a loaf, will give him a stone,
10 mīne yācite ca tasmai bhujagaṁ vitarati, etādṛśaḥ pitā yuṣmākaṁ madhye ka āste?
or when he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
11 tasmād yūyam abhadrāḥ santo'pi yadi nijabālakebhya uttamaṁ dravyaṁ dātuṁ jānītha, tarhi yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā svīyayācakebhyaḥ kimuttamāni vastūni na dāsyati?
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!
12 yūṣmān pratītareṣāṁ yādṛśo vyavahāro yuṣmākaṁ priyaḥ, yūyaṁ tān prati tādṛśāneva vyavahārān vidhatta; yasmād vyavasthābhaviṣyadvādināṁ vacanānām iti sāram|
Do to others whatever you would wish them to do to you; for that is the teaching of both the Law and the Prophets.
13 saṅkīrṇadvāreṇa praviśata; yato narakagamanāya yad dvāraṁ tad vistīrṇaṁ yacca vartma tad bṛhat tena bahavaḥ praviśanti|
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;
14 aparaṁ svargagamanāya yad dvāraṁ tat kīdṛk saṁkīrṇaṁ| yacca vartma tat kīdṛg durgamam| taduddeṣṭāraḥ kiyanto'lpāḥ|
for small is the gate, and narrow the road, that leads to Life, and those that find it are few.
15 aparañca ye janā meṣaveśena yuṣmākaṁ samīpam āgacchanti, kintvantardurantā vṛkā etādṛśebhyo bhaviṣyadvādibhyaḥ sāvadhānā bhavata, yūyaṁ phalena tān paricetuṁ śaknutha|
Beware of false Teachers — men who come to you in the guise of sheep, but at heart they are ravenous wolves.
16 manujāḥ kiṁ kaṇṭakino vṛkṣād drākṣāphalāni śṛgālakolitaśca uḍumbaraphalāni śātayanti?
By the fruit of their lives you will know them. Do people gather grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?
17 tadvad uttama eva pādapa uttamaphalāni janayati, adhamapādapaevādhamaphalāni janayati|
So, too, every sound tree bears good fruit, while a worthless tree bears bad fruit.
18 kintūttamapādapaḥ kadāpyadhamaphalāni janayituṁ na śaknoti, tathādhamopi pādapa uttamaphalāni janayituṁ na śaknoti|
A sound tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a worthless tree bear good fruit.
19 aparaṁ ye ye pādapā adhamaphalāni janayanti, te kṛttā vahnau kṣipyante|
Every tree that fails to bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 ataeva yūyaṁ phalena tān pariceṣyatha|
Hence it is by the fruit of their lives that you will know such men.
21 ye janā māṁ prabhuṁ vadanti, te sarvve svargarājyaṁ pravekṣyanti tanna, kintu yo mānavo mama svargasthasya pituriṣṭaṁ karmma karoti sa eva pravekṣyati|
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.
22 tad dine bahavo māṁ vadiṣyanti, he prabho he prabho, tava nāmnā kimasmāmi rbhaviṣyadvākyaṁ na vyāhṛtaṁ? tava nāmnā bhūtāḥ kiṁ na tyājitāḥ? tava nāmnā kiṁ nānādbhutāni karmmāṇi na kṛtāni?
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?’
23 tadāhaṁ vadiṣyāmi, he kukarmmakāriṇo yuṣmān ahaṁ na vedmi, yūyaṁ matsamīpād dūrībhavata|
And then I shall say to them plainly ‘I never knew you. Go from my presence, you who live in sin.’
24 yaḥ kaścit mamaitāḥ kathāḥ śrutvā pālayati, sa pāṣāṇopari gṛhanirmmātrā jñāninā saha mayopamīyate|
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.
25 yato vṛṣṭau satyām āplāva āgate vāyau vāte ca teṣu tadgehaṁ lagneṣu pāṣāṇopari tasya bhittestanna patati
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.
26 kintu yaḥ kaścit mamaitāḥ kathāḥ śrutvā na pālayati sa saikate gehanirmmātrā 'jñāninā upamīyate|
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.
27 yato jalavṛṣṭau satyām āplāva āgate pavane vāte ca tai rgṛhe samāghāte tat patati tatpatanaṁ mahad bhavati|
The rain poured down, the rivers rose, the winds blew and struck against that house, and it fell; and great was its downfall.”
28 yīśunaiteṣu vākyeṣu samāpiteṣu mānavāstadīyopadeśam āścaryyaṁ menire|
By the time that Jesus had finished speaking, the crowd was filled with amazement at his teaching.
29 yasmāt sa upādhyāyā iva tān nopadideśa kintu samarthapuruṣa̮iva samupadideśa|
For he taught them like one who had authority, and not like their Teachers of the Law.
