Matthew 7
1 “Do not judge, or you will be judged.
“Mkoto kuvahamula vangi, muni na nyenye yati mwihamuliwa lepi na Chapanga,
2 For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Ndava muni chemukuvahamula vangi, na nyenye yati mwihamuliwa, na chipimu chilachila cha mwihengela kwa vangi, ndi Chapanga yati avahengela nyenye.
3 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
Ndava kyani wilola lungoda mulihu la mlongo waku, na kuni wangaluwona lumbagalu mulihu laku?
4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye?
Amala yati wijova wuli, kwa mlongo waku, ‘Linda hoti, nikuwusa lungoda mulihu laku,’ Kuni wamwene una lumbagalu mulihu laku?
5 You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Veve mweukujikita kuvya mbwina! Wusa hoti lumbagalu lweluvi mulihu laku. Pena ndi peuhotola kulola bwina kuwusa lungoda mulihu la mlongo waku.”
6 Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
“Mkoto kugapela mabwa vindu vyamsopi vakotoka kung'anamuka na kuvalemasa mwavene, amala mkoto kugapela maguluvi lulu zeziguliswa kwa mashonga gamahele muni vakotoka kulivatila kwa magendelu gavi.”
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
“Muyupa yati mwipewa, mlondai yati mwipata, muhodisa mlyangu yati vakuvadindulila.
8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Ndava muni mweiyupa ipewa na mweilonda yati ipata na mweihodisa mlyangu yati idinduliliwa.
9 Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
Wu, avi mmonga pagati yinu, ngati mwana waki akamuyupa libumunda akumpela liganga?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
Amala akamuyupa somba akumpela liyoka?
11 So if you who are 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!
Ngati hinu nyenye, mwavahakau, mwimanya kuvapela vana vinu vindu vyabwina, chakaka Dadi winu wa kunani akuvahengela neju akuvapela vindu vyabwina, vala vevakumuyupa.”
12 In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.
“Goha gemwigana vandu vavahengela nyenye, mvahengela na vene mewawa. Yeniyi ndi maana ya Malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa na mawuliwu ga vamlota va Chapanga.”
13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
“Muyingila kwa kupitila mlyangu udebe. Ndava muni njila yeyilongosa mukuyongomela ndi yipana na mlyangu waki ndi upana, veviyingila mwenumo ndi vamahele.
14 But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Nambu njila yeyilongosa kuyingila kuwumi wa magono goha ndi ngalingasi na mlyangu waki ungalingasi, vandu vamahele lepi vevihotola kumanya njila yeniyi.”
15 Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
“Mujiyangalila na vamlota va udese, vene vibwela kwinu vakujilangisa cha kuvala ngati limbelele, nambu chamugati ndi libwa likali la kudahi.
16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
Mukuvamanya ndava ya matendu gavi. Wu, vandu viyava matunda ga zabibu mumkongo wa minga amala tini mumkongo wa minga?
17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
Mewawa ndi kila mkongo wabwina wipambika matunda gabwina, na mkongo uhakau wipambika matunda gahakau.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
Mkongo wabwina nakuhotola kupambika matunda gahakau, kavili mkongo mhakau nakupambika matunda gabwina.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Kila mkongo wangapambika matunda gabwina yati udumuliwa na kutagiwa kumotu.
20 So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.
Hinu, mukuvamanya ndava ya matendu gavi.”
21 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.
“Lepi kila mundu mweakunikemela, ‘Bambu, Bambu,’ Yati iyingila Muunkosi wa Chapanga. Nambu ngayula mweihenga geigana Dadi wangu mweavi kunani.”
22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’
Vamahele, “Yati vakunijovela, ‘Ligono lila la uhamula wa Bambu, Bambu! Paliina laku tavakokosili vandu ujumbi waku, na paliina laku tavawusili vandu mizuka na kukita gachinamtiti yamahele.’
23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’
Kangi yati nikuvajovela, katu nakuvamanya nyenye, muwuka palongolo yangu mwemuhenga gahakau!”
24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
“Hinu mundu yeyoha mweiyuwana malovi gangu na kugahenga, iwanangana na mundu mweavi na luhala lwabwina, mweajengili nyumba yaki panani ya litalau.
25 The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock.
Fula yikatonya na mifuleni yikamema manji gamahele, mpungu wakabwela na kuyitova nyumba yeniyo. Nambu nyumba yeniyo nakugwa ndava yijengiwi panani ya litalau.”
26 But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
“Nambu mundu yeyoha mweiyuwana malovi gangu na ibela kugahenga, iwanangana na mundu myimu mweijenga nyumba yaki panani ya msavati.
27 The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!”
Fula yikatonya na mifuleni yikamema manji gamahele na mpungu ukabwela na kuitova nyumba yeniyo, nayene yikagwa na kudenyekana neju!”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,
Yesu peamali kujova malovi ago, msambi wa vandu ukakangaswa ndava ya mawuliwu gaki.
29 because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
Muni awulayi ngati mundu mweavi na uhotola ndi lepi ngati vawula vavi va malagizu.
