Matthew 7
1 “Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.
—Lubika sambisa, tala mamveno luedi sambusu.
2 For with whatever judgment you judge, so shall you be judged; and with whatever measure you measure out, so shall it be measured back to you.
Bila bela kulusambisa banga phila lunsambisila ayi bela ku lutezila luelo luela dedakana banga lolo lutezila bankaka.
3 And how can you see the splinter in your brother’s eye, and not see the board in your own eye?
Vayi bila mbi wumonina kiti kidi mu dieso di khombꞌaku, vayi ngeyo veka wukadi mona tunga yidi mu dieso diaku e?
4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter from your eye,’ while, behold, a board is in your own eye?
Voti buevi wulenda kambila khombꞌaku: “Bika ndibotula kiti kidi mu dieso diaku! Vayi tunga yidi mu dieso diaku.”
5 Hypocrite, first remove the board from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.
Mutu wu mayuya! Botula theti tunga yoyi yidi mu dieso diaku buna bosi mawumona mboti mu botula kiti kidi mu dieso di khombꞌaku.
6 Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not cast your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they may trample them under their feet, and then, turning, they may tear you apart.
—Lubika vana bima binlongo kuidi zimbua. Lubika loza bilunga bieno bithalu vadi zingulu, bila mazi bidiatila ayi mazi lubalukila muingi ziluvanga phasi.
7 Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
—Lulomba ayi bela kuluvana. Lutomba ayi luela mona; lukokuta ayi luela zibudulu.
8 For everyone who asks, receives; and whoever seeks, finds; and to anyone who knocks, it will be opened.
Bila woso wunlombanga niandi wuntambulanga. Woso wuntombanga niandi wumonanga woso wunkokutanga niandi wunzibudulungu.
9 Or what man is there among you, who, if his son were to ask him for bread, would offer him a stone;
Nani mu beno lenda vana ditadi kuidi muanꞌandi bu kanlombidi dipha?
10 or if he were to ask him for a fish, would offer him a snake?
Voti bu kanlombidi mbizi buna nioka maka mvana e?
11 Therefore, if you, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your sons, how much more will your Father, who is in heaven, give good things to those who ask him?
Enati beno batu bambimbi, luzebi vana bima bimboti kuidi bana beno, buna Dise dieno di Diyilu diela luta vana bima bimboti kuidi bobo bakunlombanga.
12 Therefore, all things whatsoever that you wish that men would do to you, do so also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.
—Mambu moso momo lutidi ti batu baluvangila mawu mamveno lufueti kuba vangila. Bila mawu mama malongi ma Mina ayi ma mimbikudi.
13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate, and broad is the way, which leads to perdition, and many there are who enter through it.
—Lukotila va muelo wufuetama bila muelo widi wuyalumuka ayi nzila yinatanga ku nzimbala yidi yinneni, ayi, batu bawombo beti kotilanga muawu.
14 How narrow is the gate, and how straight is the way, which leads to life, and few there are who find it!
Vayi muelo widi wufietama, nzila yi luzingu yidi yifioti ayi batu bafioti kuandi beti kuyibakulanga.
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
—Lulubukila mimbikudi mi luvunu miomi minkuizanga kuidi beno banga mamemi vayi mu kiedika badi memvu ma nganzi.
16 You shall know them by their fruits. Can grapes be gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Luela kuba zabila mu mimbutu miawu. A buevi balenda vela makundi ma vinu mu nti widi zitsendi voti makundi ma figi mu nti wu zitsolokoto e?
17 So then, every good tree produces good fruit, and the evil tree produces evil fruit.
Diawu woso nti wumboti wumbutanga mimbutu mimboti vayi nti wumbimbi wumbutanga mimbutu mimbimbi.
18 A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, and an evil tree is not able to produce good fruit.
Nti wumboti wulendi buta ko mimbutu mambimbi ayi nti wumbimbi, wulendi buka ko mimbutu mamboti.
19 Every tree which does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
Woso nti wunkambu buta mimbutu mimboti wufueti vuzu ayi lozo ku mbazu.
20 Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
Mu mimbutu miawu kaka luela kuba zabila.
21 Not all who say to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
—Bika sia ti batu bobo beta kukhamba: “Pfumu! Pfumu!” ti bawu bela kota mu kipfumu ki Diyilu, vayi bobo bamvanganga luzolo lu Dise diama didi ku Diyilu.
22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and perform many powerful deeds in your name?’
Mu lumbu kina batu bawombo bela kukhamba: “A Pfumu! A Pfumu! A keti mu dizina diaku tubikudila! A keti mu dizina diaku tukukila ziphevi zimbimbi. A keti mu dizina diaku tuvangila bikumu biwombo!”
23 And then will I disclose to them: ‘I have never known you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.’
Buna minu ndiela kuba vutudila: “ndisi ku luzaba ko. Botukanu vava beno lumvanganga mambu mambimbi!”
24 Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and does them shall be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock.
—Diawu woso wulembo wa mambu ma ndilembo tubi ayi wunsadila mawu widi banga mutu wu diela wutunga nzoꞌandi va yilu ditadi.
25 And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, but it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
Mvula yingolo yinoka, minlangu miwala ayi bivuka biyiza lumbama mu nzo beni vayi nzo beni yisia bua ko bila yitungulu va yilu ditadi.
26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.
Vayi woso mutu wulembo wa mambu mama vayi kakadi ku masadila widi banga mutu wu buvungisi wutunga nzoꞌandi va mbata nzielo.
27 And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, and it did fall, and great was its ruin.”
Mvula yingolo yinoka, minlangu miwala ayi bivuka biyiza lumbama mu nzo beni. Nzo beni yitumbu bua ayi yitumbu tiolumuka.
28 And it happened, when Jesus had completed these words, that the crowds were astonished at his doctrine.
Yesu bu kamana tuba, nkangu wu batu wusimina mu diambu di malongi mandi.
29 For he was teaching them as one who has authority, and not like their scribes and Pharisees.
Bila kaba kuba longilanga ko banga minsoniki miawu, vayi niandi wuba longila mu lulendo loso.
