< Matthew 7 >
1 Don't judge others, so that you won't be judged.
“Mũtigaciirithanagie nĩgeetha na inyuĩ mũtikanaciirithio.
2 For whatever standard you use to judge others will be used to judge you, and whatever measurement you use to measure others will be used to measure you.
Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa mũtuagĩra andũ arĩa angĩ ciira, noguo na inyuĩ mũgaatuĩrwo ciira, na gĩthimi kĩrĩa mũthimanagĩra nakĩo, no kĩo mũrĩthimagĩrwo nakĩo.
3 Why do you see the speck that's in your brother's eye? Don't you notice the plank that's in your own eye?
“Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga wone kĩhuti kĩrĩa kĩrĩ riitho rĩa mũrũ wa thoguo, no ũkaaga kuona mũgogo ũrĩa ũrĩ riitho rĩaku wee mwene?
4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take out that speck from your eye’ when you have a plank in your own eye?
Wahota atĩa kwĩra mũrũ wa thoguo atĩrĩ, ‘Reke ngũrute kĩhuti kĩu kĩrĩ riitho rĩaku,’ o rĩrĩa wee mwene ũrĩ na mũgogo riitho rĩaku?
5 You're being hypocritical! First get rid of the plank that's in your own eye. Then you'll be able to see clearly to take out the speck from your brother's eye.
Wee hinga ĩno, amba ũrute mũgogo ũcio ũrĩ riitho rĩaku, nĩguo wone wega na ũhote kũruta kĩhuti kĩrĩa kĩrĩ riitho rĩa mũrũ wa thoguo.
6 Don't give dogs what's holy. Don't throw your pearls to pigs. That way the pigs won't trample them underfoot, and the dogs won't turn and attack you.
“Mũtikanahe magui kĩndũ kĩrĩa kĩamũre, na mũtikanaikĩrie ngũrwe ruru cianyu. Mũngĩĩka ũguo-rĩ, ingĩrangĩrĩria ruru na magũrũ ma cio, icooke imũgarũrũke, imũtiihangie.
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
“Hooyai na nĩmũkũheo; mathaai na nĩmũkuona; ringaringai mũrango na nĩmũkũhingũrĩrwo.
8 Everyone who asks, receives; everyone who seeks, finds; and everyone who knocks has the door opened for them.
Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa wothe ũhooyaga nĩaheagwo, na ũrĩa ũmaathaga nĩonaga, na ũrĩa ũringaringaga mũrango, nĩahingũragĩrwo.
9 Would any of you give your son a stone if he asked for bread?
“Na rĩrĩ, nũũ wanyu ũngĩĩtio mũgate nĩ mwana wake amũhe ihiga?
10 Or if he asked for fish, would you give him a snake?
Kana amwĩtie thamaki nake amũhe nyoka?
11 So if even you who are evil know to give good things to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.
Angĩkorwo inyuĩ, o na mũrĩ ooru, nĩmũũĩ kũhe ciana cianyu iheo njega-rĩ, githĩ Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ ndagakĩrĩrĩria kũhe iheo njega kũrĩ arĩa mamũhooyaga!
12 Treat others the way you want them to treat you. This sums up the law and the prophets.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, maũndũ-inĩ mothe, ĩkagai andũ arĩa angĩ ũrĩa mũngĩenda mamwĩkage, nĩgũkorwo ũcio nĩguo Watho wa Musa na Ũrutani wa Anabii.
13 Enter by the narrow entrance. For the entrance is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many travel that way.
“Toonyerai mũromo ũrĩa mũceke. Nĩgũkorwo mũromo nĩ mwariĩ na njĩra nĩ njariĩ ĩrĩa yerekeire rĩũrĩro, na andũ arĩa matoonyagĩra ho nĩ aingĩ.
14 But the entrance is narrow, and the way is difficult that leads to life, and only a few find it.
No mũromo nĩ mũkunderu na njĩra nĩ njeke ĩrĩa ĩkinyaga muoyo-inĩ, na andũ arĩa mamĩonaga nĩ anini.
15 Watch out for false prophets who come wearing sheep's clothing, but who on the inside are vicious wolves.
“Mwĩhũgagei anabii a maheeni. Mokaga kũrĩ inyuĩ mehumbĩte njũa cia ngʼondu, no thĩinĩ wao nĩ njũũi ndĩani.
16 You can recognize them by their fruits. Do people harvest grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?
Nĩmũrĩmamenyaga na maciaro mao. Kaĩ thabibũ igĩtuuagwo mĩtĩ-inĩ ya mĩigua, kana ngũyũ igatuuo kuuma mahiũ-inĩ ma nyeki?
17 So every good tree produces good fruit, while a bad tree produces bad fruit.
Ũguo noguo, mũtĩ wothe mwega ũciaraga maciaro mega, no mũtĩ mũũru ũciaraga maciaro mooru.
18 A good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can't produce good fruit.
Mũtĩ mwega ndũngĩciara maciaro mooru, naguo mũtĩ mũũru ndũngĩciara maciaro mega.
19 Every tree that doesn't produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.
Mũtĩ o wothe ũtaciaraga maciaro mega nĩgũtemwo ũtemagwo ũgaikio mwaki-inĩ.
20 So you'll recognize them by their fruits.
Ũguo nĩguo mũrĩmamenyaga nĩ ũndũ wa maciaro mao.
21 Not everyone who calls me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of heaven—only those who do the will of my Father in heaven.
“To mũndũ ũrĩa ũnjĩtaga, ‘Mwathani, Mwathani,’ ũgaatoonya ũthamaki wa igũrũ, no nĩ ũrĩa wĩkaga ũrĩa Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ endaga.
22 Many will say to me at the Day of Judgment, ‘Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name and drive out demons in your name, and perform many miracles in your name?’
Mũthenya ũcio aingĩ makanjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani, Mwathani, githĩ tũtiarathaga maũndũ na rĩĩtwa rĩaku, na thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku tũkaingata ndaimono na tũkaringa ciama nyingĩ?’
23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Leave me, you people who practice wickedness!’
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngameera wega atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndirĩ hĩndĩ ndaamũũĩ o na rĩ. Eherai harĩ niĩ, inyuĩ mwĩkaga ũũru!’
24 Everyone that hears the words I say, and follows them, is like a wise man who built his house on solid rock.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mũndũ o wothe ũiguaga ciugo ici ciakwa na ageeka ũrĩa ciugĩte, ahaana ta mũndũ mũũgĩ ũrĩa wakire nyũmba yake igũrũ rĩa rwaro rwa ihiga.
25 The rain poured down, and the floods rose, and the winds blew hard against the house, but it didn't fall down, because its foundations were on solid rock.
Nayo mbura ĩkiura, na njũũĩ ikĩiyũra, naruo rũhuho rũkĩhurutana nacio ikĩhũũra nyũmba ĩyo na nditi, no nyũmba ĩyo ndĩagũire, tondũ mũthingi wayo wakĩtwo igũrũ rĩa rwaro rwa ihiga.
26 Everyone that hears the words I say, and doesn't follow them, is like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
No mũndũ o wothe ũiguaga ciugo ici ciakwa na ndekaga ũrĩa ciugĩte ahaana ta mũndũ mũkĩĩgu ũrĩa wakire nyũmba yake mũthanga igũrũ.
27 The rain poured down, and the floods rose, and the winds blew hard against the house, and it fell down—it totally collapsed.”
Nayo mbura ĩkiura, njũũĩ ikĩiyũra, naruo rũhuho rũkĩhurutana nacio ikĩhũũra nyũmba ĩyo na nditi, nayo nyũmba ĩyo ĩkĩmomoka na kũgũa kũnene.”
28 When Jesus finished explaining these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
Rĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩkirie kuuga maũndũ macio, kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩkĩgega nĩ ũndũ wa ũrutani wake,
29 for he taught like someone with authority, and not like their religious teachers.
tondũ aarutanaga ta mũndũ warĩ na ũhoti, na ti ta ũrĩa arutani ao a watho maarutanaga.
