Matthai 7
1 Nangmouh teh lawkceng lah na o awh hoeh nahanlah, ayânaw hah lawkceng awh hanh.
Judge not, that you be not judged;
2 Ayânaw lawk na ceng e patetlah nama hai lawkceng lah na o van han.
for as you judge, you shall be judged; and the measure which you give, the same you shall receive.
3 Na mit dawk e thingtaboung teh na pouk laipalah, hmaunawngha mit dawk e songnawng teh bangkongmaw khuet na hmu vaw.
And why do you observe the mote in your brother's eye, but you are insensible of the splinter in your own eye?
4 Na mit dawk thingtaboung ao nahlangva vah na hmaunawngha koe na mit dawk e songnawng ca hah na lat pouh vai khuet na ti a vaw.
Or how dare you say to your brother, let me take the mote out of your eye; when lo! you have a splinter in your own?
5 Ka kâsak e naw: na mit dawk e thingtaboung hah hmaloe takhoe awh ei. Hat boipawiteh nouh na hmaunawngha mit dawk e songnawngca hah kacaicalah na hmawt vaiteh na lat thai ti.
Hypocrite, first take the splinter out of your own eye; then you will see clearly to take the mote out of your brother's eye.
6 Kathounge hno hah Uinaw poe awh hanh. Pale hah voknaw hmalah tâkhawng awh hanh. A khok hoi coungroe awh vaiteh, nama koe lah kamlang awh vaiteh na kei awh han.
Give not things holy to dogs, and cast not your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot, and turn upon you, and tear you apart.
7 Het awh. Poe lah na o awh han. Tawng awh, na hmu awh han. Takhawngh awh, takhang teh nangmouh hanlah paawng lah ao han.
Ask, and you shall obtain; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
8 Apihai ka hete ni teh a hmu. Ka tawng e ni teh a pâphawng. Ka takhawng e teh paawng pouh lah ao.
For whosoever asks, obtains; whosoever seeks, finds; and to every one who knocks, the door shall be opened.
9 Nangmouh thung dawkvah, na ca ni vaiyei a hei nah talung ka poe hane tami na o a maw.
Who of you men would give his son a stone, when he asks bread;
10 Hoehpawiteh, tanga a hei nah tahrun ka poe hane tami na o a maw.
or a serpent, when he asks a fish?
11 Nangmouh ni patenghai canaw hanelah, hno kahawi poe hanelah na panuek awh pawiteh, kalvan kho kaawm e nangmae na Pa ni natawng teh, ka hetnaw hah banghloimaw kahawi e poehnonaw hah a poe han!
If you then, though evil, can give good things to your children, how much more will your Father, who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?
12 Hatdawkvah, nama koe ayânaw ni hnokahawi sak sak han na ngai e patetlah, ayânaw koehai sak van. Hethateh, kâlawk pueng hoi profetnaw e lawk doeh.
Whatever you would that others do to you, do you the same to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Kabueng e longkha dawk kâen awh. Rawknae koe ka phatkhai e longkha hoi lam teh a kaw dawkvah, ka dawn e tami apap.
Enter in through the strait gate; for wide is the gate of perdition, broad is its way leading thither; and many are they who enter by it.
14 Hringnae koe ka phatkhai e longkha hoi lam teh a bueng dawkvah kâen e tami teh a youn ca.
But how strait is the gate of life; how narrow the way leading thither; and how few are they who find it!
15 Profetkaphawknaw hah kâhruetcuet awh. Nangmouh koe a tho awh navah, tupho a kâkhu awh teh tu patetlah a kâsak awh. Athung teh Asui ka matheng lah ao awh.
Beware of false teachers, who come to you in the garb of sheep, while inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
16 Hotnaw teh amamae a paw lahoi na nout a thai. Pâkhing tangdun dawk hoi misurpaw paw boihoeh. Pâkhingkung dawk hoi thaibunglung paw paw boihoeh.
By their fruits you shall discover them. Are grapes gathered from thorns; or figs from thistles?
17 Hot patetvanlah, thingkung kahawi ni a paw kahawi a paw teh, thingkung kahawihoehe ni a paw kahawihoehe a paw van.
Every good tree yields good fruit, and every evil tree evil fruit.
18 Thingkung kahawi ni a paw kathout paw boi hoeh, hahoi, thingkung kathout ni a paw kahawi paw boihoeh.
A good tree can not yield evil fruit, nor an evil tree good fruit.
19 A paw kahawi ka paw hoeh e thingkungnaw pueng tâtueng vaiteh hmai dawk phum lah ao han.
Every tree which yields not good fruit, is cut down, and turned into fuel.
20 Hot patetvanlah profetkaphawknaw teh amamae paw lahoi nout thai e lah ao.
Wherefore, by their fruits you shall discover them.
21 Bawipa, Bawipa ka tet e pueng ni kalvan uknaeram thung a kâen awh han tinae nahoeh. Hatei, kalvan kho kaawm e a Pa lungngai ka sak e dueng ni doeh a kâen han.
Not every one who says to me, Master, Master, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven.
22 Tami moikapap ni hot hnin toteh, Bawipa, Bawipa, na min lahoi Cathut lawk ka dei a nahoehmaw. Na min lahoi kahraituilinaw hai ka pâlei a nahoehmaw. Na min lahoi kângairu hnonaw hai ka sak a nahoehmaw., telah ati awh han.
Many will say to me on that day, Master, Master, have we not taught in thy name, and in thy name performed many miracles?
23 Hat toteh, kai ni nangmanaw khoeroe na panuek awh hoeh. Cet awh. Hnokahawi ka sak hoeh e naw, telah kamcengcalah ka ti pouh awh han.
To whom I will declare, I never acknowledged you. Depart from me, you who practice iniquity.
24 Hatdawkvah, apipatet hai ka dei e lawknaw hah a thai teh ka tarawi e tami teh, lungsong dawk im ka sak e tami a lungkaang e hoi a kâvan.
Therefore, whosoever hears these my precepts, and does them, I will compare to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock.
25 Kho a nan, tui a len, kahlî a tho teh hote im hah a hmang. Hat nakunghai rawm hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungsong dawk adu a ung dawkvah.
For although the rain descended, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, it fell not, because it was founded upon the rock.
26 Hatei, apipatet hai ka dei e lawknaw hah a thai teh ka tarawi hoeh e teh, sadi dawk im ka sak e tami ka pathu e hoi a kâvan.
But whosoever hears these my precepts, and does them not, shall be compared to a simpleton, who built his house upon the sand.
27 Kho a nan, tui a len, kahlî a tho teh hote im a hmang toteh kayawicalah a rawp teh peng kâraphoe teh a rawk.
For when the rain descended, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and dashed against that house, it fell, and great was its ruin.
28 Jisuh ni hete lawknaw pueng koung a dei hnukkhu vah, tamimaya teh a cangkhai e dawk a kângairu awh.
When Jesus had ended this discourse, the people were struck with awe at his manner of teaching;
29 Bangkongtetpawiteh, cakathutkungnaw patetlah cangkhai laipalah, kâkatawnnaw patetlah a cangkhai.
for he taught as one who had authority, and not as the Scribes.
