Comparison
Matthew 7
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Judge not, that you may not be judged, | Nolite iudicare, ut non iudicemini. |
| 2 | For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. | In quo enim iudicio iudicaveritis, iudicabimini: et in qua mensura mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis. |
| 3 | Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye? | Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, et trabem in oculo tuo non vides? |
| 4 | Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye? | aut quomodo dicis fratri tuo: Sine eiiciam festucam de oculo tuo, et ecce trabs est in oculo tuo? |
| 5 | Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. | Hypocrita, eiice primum trabem de oculo tuo, et tunc videbis eiicere festucam de oculo fratris tui. |
| 6 | Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you. | Nolite dare sanctum canibus: neque mittatis margaritas vestras ante porcos, ne forte conculcent eas pedibus suis, et conversi dirumpant vos. |
| 7 | Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. | Petite, et dabitur vobis: quaerite, et invenietis: pulsate, et aperietur vobis. |
| 8 | For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. | Omnis enim qui petit, accipit: et qui quaerit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur. |
| 9 | Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone? | Aut quis est ex vobis homo, quem si petierit filius suus panem, numquid lapidem porriget ei? |
| 10 | Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent? | aut si piscem petierit, numquid serpentem porriget ei? |
| 11 | If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him? | Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris: quanto magis Pater vester, qui in caelis est, dabit bona petentibus se? |
| 12 | All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets. | Omnia ergo quaecumque vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis. Haec est enim lex, et prophetae. |
| 13 | Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. | Intrate per angustam portam: quia lata porta, et spatiosa via est, quae ducit ad perditionem, et multi sunt qui intrant per eam. |
| 14 | How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it! | Quam angusta porta, et arcta via est, quae ducit ad vitam: et pauci sunt qui inveniunt eam! |
| 15 | Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. | Attendite a falsis prophetis, qui veniunt ad vos in vestimentis ovium, intrinsecus autem sunt lupi rapaces: |
| 16 | By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? | a fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos. Numquid colligunt de spinis uvas, aut de tribulis ficus? |
| 17 | Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. | Sic omnis arbor bona fructus bonos facit: mala autem arbor malos fructus facit. |
| 18 | A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. | Non potest arbor bona malos fructus facere: neque arbor mala bonos fructus facere. |
| 19 | Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. | Omnis arbor, quae non facit fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur. |
| 20 | Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. | Igitur ex fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos. |
| 21 | Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. | Non omnis qui dicit mihi, Domine, Domine, intrabit in regnum caelorum: sed qui facit voluntatem Patris mei, qui in caelis est, ipse intrabit in regnum caelorum. |
| 22 | Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? | Multi dicent mihi in illa die: Domine, Domine, nonne in nomine tuo prophetavimus, et in nomine tuo daemonia eiecimus, et in nomine tuo virtutes multas fecimus? |
| 23 | And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. | Et tunc confitebor illis: Quia numquam novi vos: discedite a me, qui operamini iniquitatem. |
| 24 | Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock, | Omnis ergo qui audit verba mea haec, et facit ea, assimilabitur viro sapienti, qui aedificavit domum suam supra petram, |
| 25 | And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock. | et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et non cecidit: fundata enim erat super petram. |
| 26 | And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand, | Et omnis qui audit verba mea haec, et non facit ea, similis erit viro stulto, qui aedificavit domum suam super arenam: |
| 27 | And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof. | et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et cecidit, et fuit ruina illius magna. |
| 28 | And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine. | Et factum est: cum consummasset Iesus verba haec, admirabantur turbae super doctrina eius. |
| 29 | For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees. | Erat enim docens eos sicut potestatem habens, et non sicut scribae eorum, et pharisaei. |
