Matthew 7
1 JUDGE not, that ye be not judged.
“Kamutomboloshanga banenu, kwambeti nenjamwe Lesa akabule kumombolosha.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Momukute komboloshela banenu, mopelomo nenjamwe Lesa mweti akamomboloshele. Kayi mwelo ngomukute kusebenshesha pakombolosha, mwelo wopelowo nukasebensheshewe pali njamwe.
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?
Mukute kuboneconi kantu kang'ana kali mulinso mwamunobe, kotayeye omwine cishiki cili mulinso lyakobe?
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?
Ngaumwambileconi munobeti, ‘Tubone ndikufunye kantu mulinso,’ Kakuli obe mulinso mwakobe muli cishiki?
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.
Obe wandemi shibili! nanshi tatika kufunya cishiki ico cili mu linso lyakobe, empowelela kubona cena ne kukafunyamo kantu kali mulinso lyamunobe.
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.
“Kamutapa bakabwa bintu bya Lesa, pakwinga ingabamubwelela ne kwisa kumuluma. Nambi kuwalila nkumba mikanda yamalungu, pakwinga nishikalwataulowa.”
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Senga nakamupe, langaula nimukacane, kukonkosha nibakamucalwile cisasa.
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Ee, muntu lasengenga winga kupewa, muntu lalangaulunga winga kucicana, kayi muntu lakonkoshonga bakute kumucalwila cisasa.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Niyani pakati penu amwe bamashali welela kupa libwe mwanendi lasenge shinkwa?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Nambi usenga lunswi, ngamumupa njoka sena?
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?
Lino amwe ne kwipa kwenuku, mucinshi kupa banabenu bintu byaina, kulyeconi kuli Bameshenu bakwilu, sena ngabalilwa kupa bintu byaina kuli balamusengenga?
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.
Neco, mubintu bili byonse mbyomulayandangeti bantu bamwinshile, mwelela nanshi amwe kubenshila byopelebyo. Pakwinga uku ekukwanilisha milawo ya Mose, ne biyisho bya bashinshimi.
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:
Kamwingililani mwakulipakatisha pacishinga cing'ana. Pakwinga cishinga cilatwalanga ku lufu ni cinene, ne nshila yatandabala ne bantu balapitingamonga nibagi.
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Nomba cishinga cakuya kwingila kubuyumi nica kulipakatisha, ne nshila yakendi yayuma kwendamo, nabo balendengamonga nibang'ana.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Kamucenjelani ne bashinshimi bandemi shibili. Bakute besanga kulinjamwe kababoneka babomba myoyo eti mbelele. Nomba mukati balyeti baumpe bansala.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Nimukabeshibile ku bisepo byabo. Sena bitondo bya myunga ngabisema minyansa? Sena ingamucana nkuyu ku kankolong'onso?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Citondo caina cikute kusema bisepo byaina, nomba citondo caipa cikute kusema bisepo byaipa.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Citondo caina nkacelela kusema bisepo byaipa sobwe, nambi citondo caipa kusema bisepo byaina nkacinshiki pimbi.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Citondo ciliconse citaseme bisepo byaina bakute kucitimbula ne kuciwala pa mulilo.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Neco, bantu nimukabeshibile kuncito shabo.
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.
“Nteye muntu lambangoweti, ‘Nkambo, Nkambo,’ Eti akengile mu Bwami bwa kwilu sobwe, nsombi uyo lenshinga ncobalayandanga Bata ba kwilu.
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?
Pabusuba bwakomboloshewa bantu bangi nibakambengeti, ‘Nkambo, Nkambo!’ Sena afwe ntetwali kukambauka mu lina lyenu? Twalikucikonsha kupulisha mishimu yaipa pakusebenshesha lina lyenu, mu lina lyenu kayi twalikwinsa bishikukankamanisha.
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Nomba ame ninkabambile pamensotuba kwambeti, ‘nkandimwishipo sobwe, fumani apa!’ Mobeshi kwinsa byaipa.”
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:
“Uliyense lanyumfunga ne kwakonkela maswi akame, welana ndendende ne muntu wamano uyo walebaka ng'anda yakendi palibwe lyacandanshi.
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.
Kwalaloka mfula, milonga yalesula, lukupwe lwangofu lwalauma kung'anda, nomba ng'anda iliya kuwa sobwe, pakwinga walaibaka palibwe lyacandanshi.”
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:
“Nomba uliyense lanyumfunga maswi akame, nsombi kabula kwakonkela, welana ndendende, ne muntu wapunama uyo walebaka ng'anda yakendi pa museya.
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.
Kwalaloka mfula, milonga yalesula, lukupwe lwangofu lwalauma kung'anda, ng'anda yalawa, nomba kuwa kwa ng'andeyo kwalikuba kunene kuyosha.”
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
Yesu mpwalapwisha kwamba makani awa, bantu bangi balakankamana ne njiyishilo yakendi.
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Pakwinga nkalikubeti beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose, nsombi nendi walikwiyisha ne ngofu.
