Matthew 7
1 “Do not judge, that you may not be judged,
“Kamutomboloshanga banenu, kwambeti nenjamwe Lesa akabule kumombolosha.
2 for in what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and in what measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
Momukute komboloshela banenu, mopelomo nenjamwe Lesa mweti akamomboloshele. Kayi mwelo ngomukute kusebenshesha pakombolosha, mwelo wopelowo nukasebensheshewe pali njamwe.
3 And why do you behold the speck that [is] in your brother’s eye, and do not consider the beam that [is] in your own eye?
Mukute kuboneconi kantu kang'ana kali mulinso mwamunobe, kotayeye omwine cishiki cili mulinso lyakobe?
4 Or, how will you say to your brother, Permit [that] I may cast out the speck from your eye, and behold, the beam [is] in your own eye?
Ngaumwambileconi munobeti, ‘Tubone ndikufunye kantu mulinso,’ Kakuli obe mulinso mwakobe muli cishiki?
5 Hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the speck out of your 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 You may not give that which is [holy] to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the pigs, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned—may tear you apart.
“Kamutapa bakabwa bintu bya Lesa, pakwinga ingabamubwelela ne kwisa kumuluma. Nambi kuwalila nkumba mikanda yamalungu, pakwinga nishikalwataulowa.”
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you;
Senga nakamupe, langaula nimukacane, kukonkosha nibakamucalwile cisasa.
8 for everyone who is asking receives, and he who is seeking finds, and to him who is knocking it will be opened.
Ee, muntu lasengenga winga kupewa, muntu lalangaulunga winga kucicana, kayi muntu lakonkoshonga bakute kumucalwila cisasa.
9 Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask [for] a loaf—a stone will he present to him?
Niyani pakati penu amwe bamashali welela kupa libwe mwanendi lasenge shinkwa?
10 And if he may ask [for] a fish—a serpent will he present to him?
Nambi usenga lunswi, ngamumupa njoka sena?
11 If, therefore, you being evil, have known to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who [is] in the heavens give good things to those asking Him?
Lino amwe ne kwipa kwenuku, mucinshi kupa banabenu bintu byaina, kulyeconi kuli Bameshenu bakwilu, sena ngabalilwa kupa bintu byaina kuli balamusengenga?
12 All things, therefore, whatever you may will that men may be doing to you, so also do 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 Go in through the narrow gate, because wide [is] the gate and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;
Kamwingililani mwakulipakatisha pacishinga cing'ana. Pakwinga cishinga cilatwalanga ku lufu ni cinene, ne nshila yatandabala ne bantu balapitingamonga nibagi.
14 how narrow [is] the gate and compressed the way that is leading to life, and few are those finding it!
Nomba cishinga cakuya kwingila kubuyumi nica kulipakatisha, ne nshila yakendi yayuma kwendamo, nabo balendengamonga nibang'ana.
15 But take heed of the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, and inwardly are ravenous wolves.
Kamucenjelani ne bashinshimi bandemi shibili. Bakute besanga kulinjamwe kababoneka babomba myoyo eti mbelele. Nomba mukati balyeti baumpe bansala.
16 From their fruits you will know them; do [men] gather grapes from thorns? Or figs from thistles?
Nimukabeshibile ku bisepo byabo. Sena bitondo bya myunga ngabisema minyansa? Sena ingamucana nkuyu ku kankolong'onso?
17 So every good tree yields good fruits, but the bad tree yields evil fruits.
Citondo caina cikute kusema bisepo byaina, nomba citondo caipa cikute kusema bisepo byaipa.
18 A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits.
Citondo caina nkacelela kusema bisepo byaipa sobwe, nambi citondo caipa kusema bisepo byaina nkacinshiki pimbi.
19 Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast into fire:
Citondo ciliconse citaseme bisepo byaina bakute kucitimbula ne kuciwala pa mulilo.
20 therefore from their fruits you will know them.
Neco, bantu nimukabeshibile kuncito shabo.
21 Not everyone who is saying to Me, Lord, Lord, will come into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who is doing the will of My Father who is in the heavens.
“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 Your Name? And in Your Name cast out demons? And in Your Name done many mighty things?
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 I will acknowledge to them, that—I never knew you, depart from Me you who are working lawlessness.
Nomba ame ninkabambile pamensotuba kwambeti, ‘nkandimwishipo sobwe, fumani apa!’ Mobeshi kwinsa byaipa.”
24 Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the 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 streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
Kwalaloka mfula, milonga yalesula, lukupwe lwangofu lwalauma kung'anda, nomba ng'anda iliya kuwa sobwe, pakwinga walaibaka palibwe lyacandanshi.”
26 And everyone who is hearing these words of Mine, and is not doing them, will be likened to a foolish man who built his house on 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 streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.”
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 finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at His teaching,
Yesu mpwalapwisha kwamba makani awa, bantu bangi balakankamana ne njiyishilo yakendi.
29 for He was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
Pakwinga nkalikubeti beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose, nsombi nendi walikwiyisha ne ngofu.
