Matthai 7
1 Hlang te laitloek thil uh boeh, te daengah ni namamih lai n'tloek thil pawt eh.
“Do not judge, so that you will 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 the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
3 Balae tih na manuca mik dongkah mikdaeng te na hmuh tih na mik kah thingboeng tah na hmat pawh?
Why do yoʋ see the speck in yoʋr brother's eye, but do not consider the beam in yoʋr 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 yoʋ say to yoʋr brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of yoʋr eye,’ when there is a beam in yoʋr 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 take the beam out of yoʋr own eye, and then yoʋ will see clearly to take the speck out of yoʋr 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.
“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them with their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
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 will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for 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 everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and for him who knocks, the door will 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, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone;
10 Nga a hoe vaengah anih te rhul pae mahpawh.
and if he asks for a fish, will 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 you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father 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.
“Therefore whatever you wish that others would do to you, do the same 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 through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter 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 narrow is the gate, and restricted the way that leads to life, and there are few 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 sheep's clothing but inwardly 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. Do people gather grapes 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.
In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad 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 produce bad fruit, neither can a bad tree produce good 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 good 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 will 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 everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father 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 on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in yoʋr name, and in yoʋr name cast out demons, and in yoʋr name do many miracles?’
23 Te vaengah amih te, ‘Nangmih kan ming pawh, olaeknah aka saii rhoek te kai taeng lamloh mael uh,’ tila ka phong ni.
Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.’
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.
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them I will compare 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.
The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, 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.
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be compared to a foolish man who built his house on 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.
The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was its fall.”
28 Jesuh loh ol a khah vaengah a thuituennah soah hlangping tah let uh.
When Jesus finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
29 Amih te amamih kah cadaek rhoek banglam pawt tih saithainah aka khueh kah bangla a thuituen.
because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
