Matej 7
1 »Ne sodite, da ne boste sojeni.
JUDGE not, that ye be not judged.
2 Kajti s kakršno sodbo vi sodite, boste sojeni in s kakršno mero merite, vam bo ponovno odmerjeno.
For with the same judgment ye judge others, shall ye be judged: and with the measure ye mete, shall it be measured to you again.
3 In zakaj gledaš drobec, ki je v očesu tvojega brata, toda ne preudarjaš o brunu, ki je v tvojem lastnem očesu?
And why spiest thou out the mote which is in thy brother’s eye, yet payest no attention to the beam which is in thine own eye?
4 Ali kako lahko rečeš svojemu bratu: ›Dovoli mi iz tvojega očesa izvleči drobec, ‹ in glej, bruno je v tvojem lastnem očesu?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer me to take the mote off from thine eye: and behold there is a beam in thine own eye?
5 Ti hinavec, najprej vrzi bruno iz svojega lastnega očesa in tedaj boš razločno videl vreči ven drobec iz očesa svojega brata.
Thou hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou see clearly to take off the mote from thy brother’s eye.
6 Ne dajajte tega, kar je sveto, psom niti ne mečite svojih biserov pred svinje, da jih ne bi pomendrale pod svojimi stopali in se obrnile proti vam in vas raztrgale.
Give not that which is holy to dogs, nor cast pearls before swine; lest they tread them under foot, and turning round tear you.
7 Prosite in to vam bo dano; iščite in boste našli; trkajte in se vam bo odprlo,
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 kajti vsak, kdor prosi, prejema; in kdor išče, najde; in tistemu, ki trka, se bo odprlo.
for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Ali kakšen človek je tam izmed vas, če ga njegov sin prosi kruha, ali mu bo dal kamen?
What man is there of you, of whom if his son ask a loaf, will he give him a stone?
10 Ali če prosi ribe ali mu bo dal kačo?
or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 Če potem vi, ki ste hudobni, veste kako dajati dobra darila svojim otrokom, kako mnogo bolj bo vaš Oče, ki je v nebesih, dajal dobre stvari tistim, ki ga prosijo?
If ye then, evil as ye are, know how to bestow good gifts on your children; how much more will your Father who is in heaven, bestow good things on those who ask him?
12 Zatorej vse stvari, katerekoli si želite, da bi ljudje storili vam, storite vi njim popolnoma tako, kajti to je postava in preroki.
All things therefore whatsoever ye would be willing that men should do to you, just so do ye to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Vstopite pri ozkih vratih, kajti široka so vrata in prostrana je pot, ki vodi k uničenju in mnogo jih bo tam, ki gredo tja,
Enter in through the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and spacious the road, which leadeth to perdition, and they are many who enter that way:
14 zato ker ozka so vrata in tesna je pot, ki vodi v življenje in tam jih bo malo, ki jo najdejo.
because strait is the gate, and narrow the road, which leadeth to life, and they are but a few who find it.
15 Varujte se lažnih prerokov, ki prihajajo k vam v ovčjih oblačilih, toda navznoter so požrešni volkovi.
Take heed then of false prophets, who come to you in the garb of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Spoznali jih boste po njihovih sadovih. Mar ljudje obirajo grozdje iz trnja ali fige iz osata?
By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather a bunch of grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Točno takó vsako dobro drevo prinaša dober sad, toda slabo drevo prinaša hudoben sad.
So every good tree beareth good fruits; but every bad tree in kind, produceth bad fruits.
18 Dobro drevo ne more obroditi hudobnega sadu niti slabo drevo ne more obroditi dobrega sadu.
A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, neither can a tree bad in kind produce good fruits.
19 Vsako drevo, ki ne prinaša dobrega sadu, je posekano in vrženo v ogenj.
Every tree that beareth not good fruit, is cut down, and cast into the fire.
20 Zatorej jih boste spoznali po njihovih sadovih.
Well then! by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Ne bo vsak, kdor mi pravi: ›Gospod, Gospod, ‹ vstopil v nebeško kraljestvo, temveč kdor izvršuje voljo mojega Očeta, ki je v nebesih.
Not every one who saith to me, Lord, Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Mnogi mi bodo na tisti dan rekli: ›Gospod, Gospod, ali nismo v tvojem imenu prerokovali in v tvojem imenu izganjali hudičev in v tvojem imenu storili mnogo čudovitih del?‹
Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have we not cast out devils? and in thy name done many miracles?
23 In tedaj jim bom zatrdil: ›Nikoli vas nisem poznal. Odidite od mene, vi, ki počnete krivičnost.‹
And then will I profess unto them, that I never knew you: depart from me, ye workers of iniquity.
24 Zatorej kdorkoli sliši te moje besede in jih izvršuje, ga bom primerjal z modrim človekom, ki je svojo hišo zgradil na skali;
Every man therefore who is hearing from me these words, and puts them in practice, I will compare him to the intelligent man, who erected his house upon a rock:
25 in padal je dež in prišle so poplave in pihali so vetrovi in udarili na to hišo; in ni padla, kajti bila je utemeljena na skali.
and the rain descended, and the rivers rushed, and the winds blew, and they beat against that house, and it fell not; for it was founded on a rock.
26 In vsak, kdor posluša te moje besede in jih ne izvršuje, bo primerjan z nespametnim človekom, ki je svojo hišo zgradil na pesku;
And every man who is hearing these sayings of mine, and doth not practise them, he will resemble the foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:
27 in padal je dež in prišle so poplave in pihali so vetrovi ter udarili na to hišo; in je padla in njen padec je bil velik.«
and the rain descended, and the rivers rushed, and the winds blew, and set against that house, and it fell; and the fall of it was great.
28 In pripetilo se je, ko je Jezus končal te govore, da je bila množica nad njegovim naukom osupla,
And it was so, that when Jesus had concluded all these sayings, the multitudes were exceedingly struck with his teaching:
29 kajti poučeval jih je kakor nekdo, ki ima oblast in ne tako kakor pisarji.
for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
