Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye be not iudged.
Usihukumu, nawe usije ukahukumiwa.
2 Eor with what iudgement ye iudge, ye shall be iudged, and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you againe.
Kwa hukumu unayohukumu, nawe utahukumiwa. Na kwa kipimo unachopima na wewe pia utapimiwa hicho hicho.
3 And why seest thou the mote, that is in thy brothers eye, and perceiuest not the beame that is in thine owne eye?
Na kwa nini unatazama kipande cha mti kilichoko kwenye jicho la ndugu yako, lakini hutambuwi kipande cha gogo ambalo limo katika jicho lako?
4 Or howe sayest thou to thy brother, Suffer me to cast out the mote out of thine eye, and beholde, a beame is in thine owne eye?
Unawezaje kusema kwa ndugu yako, ngoja nikutolee kipande kilichomo kwenye jicho lako, wakati kipande cha gogo kimo ndani ya jicho lako?
5 Hypocrite, first cast out that beame out of thine owne eye, and then shalt thou see clearely to cast out the mote out of thy brothers eye.
Mnafiki wewe; kwanza toa gogo lililomo kwenye jicho lako, na ndipo utakapoweza kuona vizuri na kukitoa kipande cha mti kilichomo kwenye jicho la ndugu yako.
6 Giue ye not that which is holy, to dogges, neither cast ye your pearles before swine, lest they treade them vnder their feete, and turning againe, all to rent you.
Usiwape mbwa kilicho kitakatifu, na usiwarushie nguruwe lulu mbele yao. Vinginevyo wataviharibu na kuvikanyaga kwa miguu, na tena watakugeukia wewe na kukurarua vipande vipande.
7 Aske, and it shall be giuen you: seeke, and ye shall finde: knocke, and it shall be opened vnto you.
Omba, nawe utapewa. Tafuta, nawe utapata. Bisha hodi, na wewe utafunguliwa.
8 For whosoeuer asketh, receiueth: and he, that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
Kwa yeyote anayeomba, hupokea. Na kwa yeyote anayetafuta, hupata. Na kwa mtu ambaye anayebisha hodi, atafunguliwa.
9 For what man is there among you, which if his sonne aske him bread, woulde giue him a stone?
Au kuna mtu miongoni mwenu ambaye, ikiwa mtoto wake amemwomba kipande cha mkate atampa jiwe?
10 Or if he aske fish, wil he giue him a serpent?
Au ikiwa atamwomba samaki, na yeye atampa nyoka?
11 If ye then, which are euill, can giue to your children good giftes, howe much more shall your Father which is in heauen, giue good thinges to them that aske him?
Kwa hiyo, ikiwa ninyi mlio waovu mnajua kuwapa watoto wenu zawadi nzuri, Je! Ni kiasi gani zaidi Baba aliye mbinguni atawapa vitu vizuri wale wanao muomba yeye?
12 Therefore whatsoeuer ye woulde that men should doe to you, euen so doe ye to them: for this is the Lawe and the Prophets.
Kwa sababu hiyo, unapotaka kufanyiwa kitu chochote na watu wengine, nawe pia itakupasa kuwafanyia hivyo hivyo wao. Kwa kuwa hiyo ni sheria na manabii.
13 Enter in at the streight gate: for it is the wide gate, and broade way that leadeth to destruction: and many there be which goe in thereat,
Ingieni kwa kupitia geti jembamba. Kwa kuwa geti ni pana na njia ni pana inayoongoza kwenye uharibifu, na kuna watu wengi wanaopitia njia hiyo.
14 Because the gate is streight, and the way narowe that leadeth vnto life, and fewe there be that finde it.
Geti ni jembamba, Geti jembamba ni njia inayongooza katika uzima na ni wachache wanaoweza kuiona.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you, in sheepes clothing, but inwardly they are rauening wolues.
Jihadhari na manabii wa uongo, wanaokuja wamevaa ngozi ya kondoo, lakini kweli ni mbweha wakali.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruites. Doe men gather grapes of thornes? or figges of thistles?
Kwa matunda yao mtawatambua. Je watu wanaweza kuvuna matunda kwenye miba, au mtini kwenye mbengu ya mbaruti?
17 So euery good tree bringeth foorth good fruite, and a corrupt tree bringeth forth euill fruite.
Kwa jinsi hiyo, kila mti mzuri huzaa matunda mazuri, lakini mti mbaya huzaa matunda mabaya.
18 A good tree can not bring forth euil fruite: neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruite.
Mti mzuri hauwezi kuzaa matunda mabaya, wala mti mbaya hauwezi kuzaa matunda mazuri.
19 Euery tree that bringeth not forth good fruite, is hewen downe, and cast into the fire.
Kila mti ambao hauzai matunda mazuri utakatwa na kutupwa katika moto.
20 Therefore by their fruites ye shall knowe them.
Hivyo basi, utawatambua kutokana na matunda yao.
21 Not euery one that sayeth vnto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdome of heauen, but he that doeth my Fathers will which is in heauen.
Si kila mtu aniambiaye mimi, 'Bwana, Bwana,' ataingia katika ufalme wa mbinguni, bali ni yule pekee atendaye mapenzi ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, haue we not by thy Name prophecied? and by thy name cast out deuils? and by thy name done many great workes?
Watu wengi wataniambia siku hiyo, 'Bwana, Bwana, hatukutoa unabii kwa jina lako, hatukutoa mapepo kwa jina lako, na kwa jina lako tulifanya matendo mengi makuu?'
23 And then will I professe to them, I neuer knewe you: depart from me, ye that worke iniquitie.
Ndipo nitawaambia wazi, 'sikuwatambua ninyi! Ondokeni kwangu, ninyi mtendao maovu!'
24 Whosoeuer then heareth of mee these words, and doeth the same, I will liken him to a wise man, which hath builded his house on a rock:
Kwa hiyo, kila mmoja asikiaye maneno yangu na kutii atafanana na mtu mwenye hekima aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mwamba.
25 And the raine fell, and the floods came, and the windes blewe, and beat vpon that house, and it fell not: for it was grounded on a rocke.
Mvua ikanyesha, mafuriko yakaja, na upepo ukaja na ukaipiga nyumba hiyo, lakini haikuweza kuanguka chini, kwa kuwa ilikuwa imejengwa juu ya mwamba.
26 But whosoeuer heareth these my wordes, and doeth them not, shall be likened vnto a foolish man, which hath builded his house vpon the sand:
Lakini kila mtu anayesikia neno langu na asilitii, atafananishwa na mtu mpumbavu aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mchanga.
27 And the raine fell, and the floods came, and the windes blewe, and beat vpon that house, and it fell, and the fall thereof was great.
Mvua ikaja, mafuriko yakaja, na upepo ukaja na kuipiga nyumba hiyo. Na ikaanguka, na uharibifu wake ukakamilika.”
28 And it came to passe, when Iesus had ended these wordes, the people were astonied at his doctrine.
Ulifika wakati ambao Yesu alipomaliza kuongea maneno haya, makutano walishangazwa na mafundisho yake,
29 For he taught them as one hauing authoritie, and not as the Scribes.
kwa kuwa alifundisha kama mtu mwenye mamlaka, na si kama waandishi wao.
