hear him speak..
[49](a)
1 The scribe that day read the psalm of David, where saith David ( [1] ): ‘when I shall find a time, I will judge uprightly.’ 2 Then after the reading of the prophets, arose Jesus and made sign of silence with his hands, 3 and opening his mouth he spake thus: ‘Brethren, ye have heard the words spoken by David the prophet, our father, that when he should have found a time he would judge uprightly. 4 I tell you in truth that many judge, in which judgement they fall 5 for no other reason than because they judge that which is not meet for them, 6 and that which is meet for them they judge before the time. 7 Wherefore the God of our fathers crieth to us by his prophet David, saying: ‘Justly judge O sons of men.’ 8 Miserable therefore are those who set themselves at street corners, and do nothing but judge all those who pass by, 9 saying: ‘that one is fair, this one is ugly, that one is good, this one is bad.’’
10 Woe unto them, because they lift the sceptre

1 قرأ الكتبة في ذلك اليوم مزمور داود حيث يقول داود :" متى وجدت وقتا اقض بالعدل " 2 وبعد قراءة الأنبياء انتصب يسوع وأومأ إيماء السكوت بيديه 3 وفتح فاه وتكلم هكذا :" أيها الاخوة لقد سمعتم الكلام الذي تكلم به النبي داود أبونا أنه متى وجد وقتا قضى بالعدل 4 إني أقول لكم حقا إن كثيرين يقضون فيخطئون 5 وأنما يخطئون فيما لا يوافق أهواءهم 6 وأما ما يوافقها فيقضون به قبل وقته 7 كذلك ينادينا إله آبائنا على لسان نبيه داود قائلا :" اقضوا بالعدل يا أبناء الناس ( [2] ) 8 فما أشقى أولئك الذين يجلسون على منعطفات الشوارع ولا عمل لهم إلا الحكم على المارة 9 قائلين :" ذلك جميل وهذا قبيح ذلك حسن وهذا رديء 10 ويل لهم لأنهم يرفعون قضيب
