46
Τί δέ με καλεῖτε· Κύριε κύριε, καὶ οὐ ποιεῖτε ἃ λέγω;
Perché mi invocate: 'Signore, Signore!' e non fate quello che dico?
Why then do you call me: Lord, Lordⓘ, and yet do not do what I tell youⓘ?
47
πᾶς ὁ ἐρχόμενος πρός με καὶ ἀκούων μου τῶν λόγων καὶ ποιῶν αὐτούς, ὑποδείξω ὑμῖν τίνι ἐστὶν ὅμοιος·
Chiunque viene a me e ascolta le mie parole e le mette in pratica, vi mostrerò a chi è simile:
Whoever comes to meⓘ and hears my wordsⓘ and puts them into practiceⓘ — I will show you whom he resembles:
48
ὅμοιός ἐστιν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομοῦντι οἰκίαν ὃς ἔσκαψεν καὶ ἐβάθυνεν καὶ ἔθηκεν θεμέλιον ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν· πλημμύρης δὲ γενομένης προσέρηξεν ὁ ποταμὸς τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσεν σαλεῦσαι αὐτὴν διὰ τὸ καλῶς οἰκοδομῆσθαι αὐτήν.
è simile a un uomo che, costruendo una casa, ha scavato molto profondo e ha posto le fondamenta sulla roccia. Venuta la piena, il fiume investì quella casa, ma non riuscì a smuoverla perché era costruita bene.
he resembles a manⓘ who, wishing to build a houseⓘ, dug deepⓘ and laid the foundation on the rockⓘ; then when the flood came and the river burstⓘ against that house, it had not the strength to shake itⓘ, because it had been built solidly.
49
ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας καὶ μὴ ποιήσας ὅμοιός ἐστιν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομήσαντι οἰκίαν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν χωρὶς θεμελίου, ᾗ προσέρηξεν ὁ ποταμός, καὶ εὐθὺς συνέπεσεν καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ ῥῆγμα τῆς οἰκίας ἐκείνης μέγα.
Chi invece ascolta e non mette in pratica, è simile a un uomo che ha costruito una casa sulla terra, senza fondamenta. Il fiume la investì e subito crollò; e la distruzione di quella casa fu grande».
But whoever has heard my words and has not put them into practiceⓘ, resembles a man who built a house on the bare ground, without any foundationⓘ; the river burst against it, and at once it collapsed, and great was the ruin of that houseⓘ.
