Matthew 7
1 Criticise not, that you may not be criticised.
“Namuwalunda wamonga, su namwiza na mwenga kulundwa na Mlungu.
2 For with what criticism you criticise, you will be criticised: and with what measure you measure, it will be measured unto you.
Mlungu hakawatozi mwenga ntambu yamuwatoza wamonga, na shipimu shiraa shilii shamuwapimira wamonga, Mlungu hakakupimirani mwenga.
3 But why do you see the mote which is in the eye of your brother, and do not recognize the beam which is in your own eye?
Iwera hashi gushiwona shibandu mlisu mwa mlongu gwaku na palaa panu guwona ndiri shipingiri shashiwera mlisu lyaku?
4 Or how will you say to your brother, Permit me, I will cast out the mote from your eye; and behold, there is a beam in your own eye?
Ama guweza hashi kumgambira mlongu gwaku, ‘Mlongu, guleki nukuwusiyi shibandu mlisu mwaku,’ na gumweni gwenga gwanashi shipingiri mlisu mwaku?
5 O hypocrite, first cast out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote from the eye of your brother.
Gwamfyangu gwenga! Guwusii wuti shipingiri shashiwera mlisu mwaku, shakapanu haguwezi kushiwona weri na kushiwusiya shibandu shashiweriti mulisu lya mlongu gwaku.
6 Give not that which is holy to the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest they may trample them under their feet, and having turned round tear you to pieces.
“Namwapanani wang'ang'a vintu vinanagala, hawizi kuwagalambukira na kuwakwalambula. Namwawasangira wamtumbi lulu zyenu hawizi kuzitimbanga.
7 Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
“Mluwi na mwenga hampati, msakuli na mwenga hamwoni na mtendi hodi, namwenga hamvugulirwi.
8 For every one asking receives; and the one seeking finds; and to the one knocking it shall be opened.
Toziya, yoseri yakaluwa hakapati na yoseri yakasakula hakawoni na mlyangu guvugulwa kwa kila muntu yakatenda hodi.
9 What man is there of you, whom, if his son shall ask bread, he will give him a stone?
Hashi, kwana muntu yoseri mwana pakamluwa tati gwakuwi libumunda, hakampanani libuwi?
10 And if he may ask a fish, whether will he give him a serpent?
Ama pakamluwa somba, hakampanani njoka?
11 Therefore if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that ask Him?
Handa mwenga yamuwera wadoda, muvimana kuwapanana vintu viherepa wana wenu. Nakaka Tati gwenu gwa kumpindi hakatendi nentu, hakawapanani viheri kwa walii yawamluwa!
12 Therefore all things whatsoever you may wish that the people may do unto you, do ye even so unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.
“Muwatenderi wantu ntambu yamfira kutenderwa, aga ndo mafundu ga Malagaliru ga Musa na mafundu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu.
13 Enter ye in through the narrow gate: because wide is the gate and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there are, who are going in through it.
“Mwingiri kwa kupitira mlyangu mbabanika, toziya mlyangu gwagulonguziya muwuharabisiya ndo mupana na njira yailonguziya kulaa aku ndo yalaisi na kwana wantu wavuwa yawaigendera njira ayi.
14 Because narrow is the gate, and contracted the way, that leadeth into life, and few there are who find it.
Kumbiti mlyangu gwa ukomu ndo mbabanika na njira ya kugendera aku ndo ikamala na kwana wantu wadidini yawayiwona njira ayi.
15 But beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are rapacious wolves.
“Mlikali weri na wambuyi wa mpayu, womberi wiza kwa mwenga pawawoneka gambira kondolu kwa kunja, kumbiti mngati nakaka walifana na wang'ang'a wakalipa wa muntundu.
16 You shall know them by their fruits. Do the people gather the grape-bunches from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Hamuwamani womberi ntambu yawatenda. Mbigiri hapeni ileri mapera na miyembi hapeni ileri zyabibu.
17 So every good tree produces good fruits; and a corrupt tree produces evil fruits.
Su, mtera guherepa gulera mabwajubwaju maherepa na mtera gudoda gulera mabwajubwaju gadoda.
18 A good tree is not able to produce evil fruits, neither is a corrupt tree able to produce beautiful fruits.
Mtera guherepa hapeni guleri mabwajubwaju gadoda, wala mtera gudoda hapeni guleri mabwajubwaju maherepa.
19 Every tree not producing beautiful fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
Na mtera gwoseri yagulera ndiri mabwajubwaju maherepa hawagudumuli na kugupambira pamotu.
20 Therefore you shall know them perfectly by their fruits.
Su hamuwamani wambuyi wa mpayu, ntambu yawatenda.”
21 Not every one saying to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
“Kila muntu ndiri yakanshema ‘Mtuwa, Mtuwa,’ hakingiri Muufalumi wa kumbindi, kumbiti woseri hera yawatenda ntambu yakafira Tati gwangu gwa kumpindi.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name cast out demons, and in thy name done many mighty works?
Lishaka lya kutozwa palisoka, wantu wavuwa hawang'ambiri, ‘Mtuwa, Mtuwa! Kwa litawu lyaku tubweriti ujumbi wa Mlungu, kwa litawu lyaku tuwusiyiti washamshera wavuwa na kutenda mauzauza gavuwa!’
23 Then I will confess unto them that I never knew you: depart from me, ye who work iniquity.
Shakapanu hanuwagambiri womberi, ‘Nuwamana ndiri mwenga. Muwuki kwaneni, mwenga ndo wantu wamtenda vidoda!’
24 Then every one who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock.
“Su, kila muntu yakapikanira visoweru vyangu na kuvitenda, kalifana na muntu kana luhala yakanyawa numba yakuwi pampindi pa litalawu.
25 And the rain came down, and the rivers came, and the winds blew, and fell against that house; and it did not fall; for it was founded upon the rock.
Viraa itowa, nshemba zimema ng'enang'ena na liyega livuma kwa makakala liikoma numba ilii. Kumbiti iguwa ndiri toziya inyawitwi pampindi pa litalawu.
26 And every one hearing these words of mine, and doing them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.
“Kumbiti muntu yoseri yakapikanira visoweru vyangu avi pota na kuvijimira kalifana na muntu yakanyawa numba yakuwi pamuhanga.
27 And the rain came down, and the rivers came, and the winds blew, and beat against that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Vula itowa, nshemba zimema ng'enang'ena, lyega livuma kwa makakala na liikoma numba ilii na iguwa. Na kuguwa kwakuwi kuweriti kukulu!”
28 And it came to pass when Jesus finished these discourses, the multitudes were astonished at His teaching:
Yesu pakamaliriti kutakula vitwatira avi, lipinga likulu lya wantu walikangashiti ntambu yakafunditi.
29 for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Kaweriti ndiri gambira Mfunda gwa Malagaliru, kumbiti kafunditi kwa uwezu.
