Matthew 7
1 "Judge not, that you may be judged, yourselves;
“Temusalanga musango, nammwe muleme okusalirwa omusango.
2 "for with what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and in what measure you measure, others will measure to you.
Kubanga nga bwe musalira abalala nammwe bwe mujjanga okusalirwa. Ekigera kye mugereramu, nammwe kye muligererwamu.”
3 "And why do you look at the mote in your brother’s eye, and fail to notice the beam which is in your own eye?
“Ofaayo ki ku kasasiro akali ku liiso lya muganda wo so nga ku liryo kuliko kisiki kiramba?
4 "Or how will you say to your brother, ‘Permit me to remove the mote from your eye,’ when, behold, the beam is in your own eye?
Oyinza otya okugamba muganda wo nti, ‘Leka nkuggyeko akasasiro akakuli ku liiso,’ so nga ku liryo kuliko kisiki?
5 "Hypocrite! First cast out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to cast the mote out of your brother’s eye.
Munnanfuusi ggwe! Sooka oggyeko ekisiki ekiri ku liiso lyo olyoke olabe bulungi nga bw’oggyako akasasiro akali ku liiso lya muganda wo.”
6 "Do not give what is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine; lest in turn they trample them under their feet, and then turn and attack you.
“Temuddiranga bintu bitukuvu ne mubiwa embwa. N’embizzi temuzisuuliranga mayinja ag’omuwendo omungi, kubanga zigenda kugalinnyirira, n’oluvannyuma zikyuke zibalume.”
7 "Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
“Musabe, munaaweebwa. Munoonye, munaazuula. Era mukonkone munaggulirwawo.
8 "For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door is opened.
Kubanga buli asaba aweebwa, n’oyo anoonya, azuula, n’oyo akonkona aggulirwawo.”
9 "What man of you is there who, when his son asks a loaf, will give him a stone?
“Oba muntu ki mu mmwe singa omwana we amusaba omugaati, ayinza okumuwa ejjinja?
10 "or if his son asks for a fish, will offer him a snake?
Oba singa asabye ekyennyanja, kitaawe ayinza okumuwa omusota?
11 "If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him?
Obanga mmwe abantu ababi musobola okuwa abaana bammwe ebirabo ebirungi, Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisingawo okubawa ebirungi bye mumusaba?
12 "Therefore everything that you would have men do to you, do you also the same to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Noolwekyo ebintu byonna bye mwagala abantu okubakoleranga, nammwe mubibakoleranga, kubanga ebyo bye biri mu mateeka ne mu bunnabbi.”
13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for broad is the gate and wide the road that leads to destruction, and many are they who go in by it;
“Muyingirire mu mulyango omufunda! Kubanga ekkubo erigenda mu kuzikirira ddene n’omulyango mugazi, n’abalonda ekkubo eryo bangi.
14 "but the gate is narrow and the road is steep, which leads to life, and they are few who find it.
Kubanga omulyango mufunda, n’ekkubo eridda eri obulamu ffunda, era n’abaliraba batono.”
15 "Beware of the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but within they are ravening wolves.
“Mwekuume abayigiriza ab’obulimba, abajja nga bambadde amaliba g’endiga, songa munda gy’emisege egigenda okubataagulataagula.
16 "By their fruits you will know them. Are grapes gathered of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mulibalabira ku bikolwa byabwe, ng’omuti bwe mugutegeerera ku bibala byagwo. Omuntu tayinza kunoga mizabbibu ku busaana oba okunoga ettiini ku mweramannyo.
17 "No, every good tree bears good fruit, but a worthless tree bears bad fruit.
Noolwekyo buli muti omulungi gubala ebibala ebirungi, naye omuti omuvundu gubala ebibala ebibi.
18 "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit; neither can a worthless tree bear good fruit.
Omuti omulungi teguyinza kubala bibala bibi, n’omuti omuvundu teguyinza kubala bibala birungi.
19 "Every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
Omuti gwonna ogutabala bibala birungi gutemebwa ne gusuulibwa mu muliro.
20 "Hence it is by their fruit you will know them.
Noolwekyo mulibategeerera ku bibala byabwe.”
21 "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
“Si bonna abampita nti, ‘Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe,’ be baliyingira obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, wabula abo bokka abakola ebyo Kitange ali mu ggulu by’ayagala.
22 "Many in that day will say to me, "‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your name done many mighty works?’
Ku lunaku Iuli bangi baliŋŋamba nti, ‘Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe, twayogeranga eby’obunnabbi mu linnya lyo, era ne tugoba ne baddayimooni mu linnya lyo, ne tukola n’ebyamagero bingi mu linnya lyo.’
23 "Then I will tell them plainly, "‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of iniquity.’
Ndibaddamu nti, ‘Sibamanyi, muve mu maaso gange, kubanga ebikolwa byammwe byali bibi.’”
24 "Every one who hears my words and does them I will liken to a wise man who built his house upon the rock.
“Noolwekyo buli awulira ebigambo byange, n’abikola, alifaananyizibwa ng’omusajja ow’amagezi eyazimba enju ye ku lwazi.
25 "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon the house, but it fell not, for it was founded upon the rock.
Enkuba n’etonnya, emigga ne gikulukuta, omuyaga ne gujja, ne bikuba enju eyo naye n’etegwa kubanga yazimbibwa ku lwazi.
26 "And every one who hears these words of mine and does them not, I will liken to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.
Naye buli awulira ebigambo byange n’atabikola, alifaananyizibwa ng’omusajja omusirusiru eyazimba ennyumba ye mu musenyu.
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."
Enkuba n’etonnya, emigga ne gikulukuta, omuyaga ne gujja, ne bikuba ennyumba eyo, n’egwa, n’okugwa kwayo ne kuba kunene.”
28 Now when Jesus had finished his discourse, the crowds were astounded at his teaching,
Awo Yesu n’amaliriza ebigambo bye ebyo. Abantu bonna ne beewuunya nnyo olw’okuyigiriza kwe.
29 for he was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes taught them.
Kubanga yabayigiriza nga nannyini buyinza, so si ng’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka baabwe bwe baayigirizanga.
