Matthai 7
1 Hlang te laitloek thil uh boeh, te daengah ni namamih lai n'tloek thil pawt eh.
Judge not, that ye be not 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 the judgment that ye judge, ye shall be judged; and by the measure that ye measure, shall it 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 observest thou the straw in thy brother's eye, and regardest not the beam that is in thine 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 canst thou say to thy brother, Allow me to pluck the straw from thy eye; and lo! 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; pluck first the beam from thy own eye; and then thou wilt see clearly, to pluck the straw 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 a holy thing to dogs: and cast not your pearls before swine; lest they tread them under their feet, and turn and lacerate 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 to you: seek, and ye 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.
For what man is there among you, of whom if his son ask bread, will he reach him a stone?
10 Nga a hoe vaengah anih te rhul pae mahpawh.
Or if he ask of 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 ye then, who are 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.
Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you; so also do ye 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 by the strait gate; for wide is the gate and broad the way which leadeth to destruction; and many are they that walk in 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 small the gate and straitened the way that leadeth to life, and few they who 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 garb of sheep, but internally they are rapacious wolves.
16 Amih te a thaih dongah kangna ming uh bitni. Hling lamloh misur, lota lamloh thaibu thaih a bit uh mai khaming.
And from their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes; 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 beareth good fruits; but a bad tree beareth bad fruits.
18 Thing then dongah a thaih thae cuen thai pawt tih, thing thae dongah a thaih then cuen bal pawh.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruits; nor can a bad tree bear good fruits.
19 A thaih then aka thaii pawh thingkung boeih te a vung tih hmai khuila a voeih uh.
Every tree that beareth not good fruits, is cut down and consigned to the fire.
20 Te dongah amih te a thaih ah na ming uh mako.
Wherefore, by their fruits ye 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 whoever may say to me, My Lord, my Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doeth 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, My Lord, my Lord, have-we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name wrought many works of power?
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 declare to them; I never knew you. Depart from me, ye doers of evil.
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 discourses, and doeth them, will be like to a wise man, one 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 descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew; and they rushed upon that house; and it fell not, for its foundations were laid upon 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 discourses, and doeth them not, will be like a foolish man that built his house upon 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 floods came, and the winds blew; and they rushed upon that house, and it fell; and great was the ruin of it.
28 Jesuh loh ol a khah vaengah a thuituennah soah hlangping tah let uh.
And so it was, that when Jesus had ended these discourses, 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 having authority; and not as their Scribes and Pharisees.
