Matthai 7
1 Hlang te laitloek thil uh boeh, te daengah ni namamih lai n'tloek thil pawt eh.
Judge not, that you may not be judged:
2 Laitloeknah neh lai na tloek bangla namamih soah lai han tloek ni. Cungnueh neh na nueh uh te namamih taengah khaw han nueh ni.
for with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you.
3 Balae tih na manuca mik dongkah mikdaeng te na hmuh tih na mik kah thingboeng tah na hmat pawh?
And why do you look at the splinter that is in your brother’s eye, but perceive not the beam that is in your own eye?
4 Na manuca te balae tih, “Na mik kah mikdaeng ng'koeih sak, “na ti eh. Na mik ah thingboeng om ta te.
Or, how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the splinter from your eye: and lo; a beam is in your own eye?
5 Hlangthai palat aw na mik khuikah thingboeng te lamhma la koeih dae. Te daengah ni na manuca mik kah mikdaeng koeih ham te phaeng na hmuh eh.
Hypocrite! first pull the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to pull the splinter out of your brother’s eye.
6 A cim te ui pae uh boeh, na laitha te ok hmaiah voei boeh. A kho neh a taelh uh phoeiah aka mael loh namamih vik a pawnsoem la ng'khueh ve.
Give not that which is holy to dogs, nor throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and tear you.
7 Bih uh lamtah nangmih te m'paek bitni. Toem uh lamtah na hmuh uh bitni. Khoek uh lamtah nangmih ham ong uh bitni.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
8 Aka bih rhoek boeih loh a dang tih aka toem rhoek loh a hmuh, aka khoek rhoek khaw a ong pah ni.
For every one that asks, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks, it shall be opened.
9 Nangmih taengah mebang hlang nim aka om. A ca loh buh a hoe vaengah anih te lungto pae tang mahpawh.
What man is there of you, of whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Nga a hoe vaengah anih te rhul pae mahpawh.
And if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 Nangmih a thae la aka om long pataeng, na ca rhoek te kutdoe then paek ham na ming uh atah, vaan kah na pa loh a taengah aka bih rhoek te hno then muep a paek ngai ni ta.
If then you, 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 those who ask him?
12 Te dongah hlang loh nangmih taengah saii sak ham na ngaih uh sarhui boeih te tah namamih long khaw amih ham saii pah van. Hetah olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek ol ni.
All things, therefore, whatever you would that men should do to you, even so do you to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Vongka caek longah kun uh. Pocinah la aka khuen vongka tah ka tih longpuei khaw tampahyal mai. Te dongah te longah aka kun rhoek khaw muep om uh.
Enter in through the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction; and many there are that go in through it.
14 Hingnah la aka khuen vongka tah caek tih longpuei khaw thet. Te dongah te te aka hmu khaw a yool ni a om.
How strait is the gate, and how narrow the way, that leads to life! and few there are that find it.
15 Laithae tonghma rhoek te ngaithuen uh. Amih loh nangmih taengah tu pho neh ha pai uh. Tedae a khuiah kutveet aka khueh uithang la om uh.
But beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but within are ravenous wolves.
16 Amih te a thaih dongah kangna ming uh bitni. Hling lamloh misur, lota lamloh thaibu thaih a bit uh mai khaming.
By their fruits you will know them. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Te dongah thing then boeih loh a thaih a then la thaii, tedae thing thae tah a thaih a thae la thaii.
So every good tree produces goodly fruit: but an unsound tree produces diseased fruit.
18 Thing then dongah a thaih thae cuen thai pawt tih, thing thae dongah a thaih then cuen bal pawh.
A good tree can not produce diseased fruit; nor can an unsound tree produce goodly fruit.
19 A thaih then aka thaii pawh thingkung boeih te a vung tih hmai khuila a voeih uh.
Every tree that does not produce goodly fruit, is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Te dongah amih te a thaih ah na ming uh mako.
Therefore, by their fruits you shall know them.
21 “Kai taengah ‘Boeipa, Boeipa,’ aka ti boeih loh, vaan ram khuiah kun mahpawh. Tedae vaan kah a Pa kongaih aka saii rhoek ni a kun eh.
Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Tekah khohnin atah kai taengah, 'Boeipa, Boeipa,’ na ming neh ka phong uh, na ming neh rhaithae ka haek uh moenih a? Na ming neh thaomnah khaw muep ka tak sak moenih a?, 'a ti uh ni.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name cast out demons, and in thy name done many mighty works?
23 Te vaengah amih te, 'Nangmih kan ming pawh, olaeknah aka saii rhoek te kai taeng lamloh mael uh,’ tila ka phong ni.
And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
24 “Te dongah kai ol he a yaak tih aka saii boeih te tah hlang cueih la a thuidoek ni. Anih tah a im te lungpang soah a sak.
Therefore, whoever hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on the rock:
25 Rhotui bo tih tuiva ha lo, khohli te hli tih tekah im te a palet. Tedae lungpang soah a sut dongah bung pawh.
and the rain descended, and the torrents came, and the winds blew, and they beat against that house, and it fell not: for it was founded on the rock.
26 Ka ol a yaak dae aka saii pawt boeih tah hlang ang nen ni a vai uh eh. Amih long tah laivin soah ni a im a sak.
And every one that hears these words of mine, and does them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.
27 Rhotui bo tih tuili ha lo, hlipuei ha hli vaengah tekah im a daeng tih bung. Tekah a bungnah te tah a tloh la om coeng,” a ti nah.
And the rain descended, and the torrents came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell: and great was its fall.
28 Jesuh loh ol a khah vaengah a thuituennah soah hlangping tah let uh.
And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:
29 Amih te amamih kah cadaek rhoek banglam pawt tih saithainah aka khueh kah bangla a thuituen.
for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
