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 mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 Balae tih na manuca mik dongkah mikdaeng te na hmuh tih na mik kah thingboeng tah na hmat pawh?
Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy 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 sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy 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.
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.
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; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they 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 asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, 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.
Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?
10 Nga a hoe vaengah anih te rhul pae mahpawh.
Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach 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 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?
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 whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also 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 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.
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 narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth 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.
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening 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 shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Te dongah thing then boeih loh a thaih a then la thaii, tedae thing thae tah a thaih a thae la thaii.
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 Thing then dongah a thaih thae cuen thai pawt tih, thing thae dongah a thaih then cuen bal pawh.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.
19 A thaih then aka thaii pawh thingkung boeih te a vung tih hmai khuila a voeih uh.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.
20 Te dongah amih te a thaih ah na ming uh mako.
Wherefore 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 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.
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 not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?
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 unto 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.
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,
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 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.
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 heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that 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 fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.
28 Jesuh loh ol a khah vaengah a thuituennah soah hlangping tah let uh.
And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.
29 Amih te amamih kah cadaek rhoek banglam pawt tih saithainah aka khueh kah bangla a thuituen.
For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.
