Matthew 7
1 JUDGE not, that ye be not judged.
“Musaweruze ena, kuti inunso mungadzaweruzidwe.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Pakuti momwe inu muweruzira ena, inunso mudzaweruzidwa chimodzimodzi, muyeso umene muyesera ena inunso mudzayesedwa ndi womwewo.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
“Chifukwa chiyani iwe uyangʼana kachitsotso ka mʼdiso la mʼbale wako koma susamalira chimtengo chili mʼdiso mwako?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Kodi unganene bwanji kwa mʼbale wako kuti, ‘Ndikuchotse kachitsotso mʼdiso mwako,’ pamene nthawi zonse chimtengo uli nacho mʼdiso mwako?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
Wachiphamaso iwe! Yamba wachotsa chimtengo chili mʼdiso mwako ndipo pamenepo udzatha kuona bwino ndi kuchotsa kachitsotso kali mʼdiso mwa mʼbale wako.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
“Musapatse agalu zinthu zopatulika; kapena musaponyere nkhumba ngale zanu. Pakuti ngati mutero, zidzaziponda ndipo pomwepo zidzakutembenukirani ndi kukudulani nthulinthuli.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
“Pemphani ndipo mudzapatsidwa; funafunani ndipo mudzapeza; gogodani ndipo adzakutsekulirani.
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Pakuti wopempha aliyense amalandira; ndi wofuna amapeza; ndipo iye amene agogoda, adzamutsekulira.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
“Ndani mwa inu, mwana wake akamupempha buledi amamupatsa mwala?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Kapena ngati mwana apempha nsomba, kodi amamupatsa njoka?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Tsono ngati inu woyipitsitsa mumadziwa kupatsa ana anu mphatso zabwino, nanga Atate anu akumwamba sadzapereka mphatso zabwino kwa iwo amene amupempha?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Nʼchifukwa chake zinthu zilizonse mukafuna kuti anthu akuchitireni, yambani ndinu kuwachitira, pakuti izi ndi zimene malamulo ndi aneneri amaphunzitsa.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
“Lowani pa chipata chopapatiza. Pakuti chipata cholowera kuchiwonongeko nʼchachikulu ndipo msewu wake ndi waukulunso. Ndipo anthu ambiri amalowera pamenepo.
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Koma chipata ndi chopapatiza ndi msewu ndi waungʼono umene utsogolera anthu ku moyo wosatha ndipo ndi owerengeka okha amene ayipeza njirayo.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
“Chenjerani nawo aneneri onyenga. Amabwera kwa inu atavala zikopa zankhosa, koma mʼkati mwawo ali mimbulu yolusa.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mudzawazindikira iwo ndi zipatso zawo. Kodi anthu amathyola mpesa pa mtengo wa minga, kapena nkhuyu pa nthula?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Chimodzimodzinso mtengo wabwino umabala chipatso chabwino, koma mtengo woyipa umabala chipatso choyipa.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mtengo wabwino sungabale chipatso choyipa, ndi mtengo woyipa sungabale chipatso chabwino.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mtengo uliwonse umene subala chipatso chabwino umadulidwa ndi kuponyedwa pa moto.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Momwemonso, ndi zipatso zawo iwo mudzawazindikira.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
“Si munthu aliyense amene amanena kwa Ine, ‘Ambuye, Ambuye,’ adzalowe mu ufumu wakumwamba, koma ndi yekhayo amene amachita chifuniro cha Atate anga amene ali kumwamba.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Ambiri adzati kwa Ine pa tsikulo, ‘Ambuye, Ambuye, kodi sitinkanenera mʼdzina lanu ndi mʼdzina lanunso tinkatulutsa ziwanda ndi kuchita zodabwitsa zambiri?’
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Pamenepo ndidzawawuza momveka bwino kuti, ‘Sindinakudziweni inu. Chokani kwa Ine, inu ochita zoyipa!’
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
“Nʼchifukwa chake aliyense amene amva mawu anga ndi kuwachita akufanana ndi munthu wanzeru amene anamanga nyumba yake pa thanthwe.
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Mvula inagwa, mitsinje inadzaza, ndi mphepo zinawomba pa nyumbayo; koma sinagwe, chifukwa maziko ake anali pa thanthwe.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
Koma aliyense amene amva mawu angawa ndi kusawachita ali ngati munthu wopusa amene anamanga nyumba yake pa mchenga.
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Mvula inagwa, mitsinje inadzaza, ndi mphepo zinawomba pa nyumbayo, ndipo inagwa ndipo kugwa kwake kunali kwakukulu.”
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
Yesu atamaliza kunena zonsezi, magulu a anthu anadabwa ndi chiphunzitso chake,
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
chifukwa anaphunzitsa ngati amene anali ndi ulamuliro osati ngati aphunzitsi amalamulo.
