Matthew 7
1 “Do not talk about how sinfully others have acted, in order that God will not say how sinfully you have acted.
Ayaw paghukom, ug kamo dili pagahukman.
2 If you condemn [other people], [God] will condemn you. To the same extent that you condemn others, you will be condemned {[God] will condemn you}.
Kay ang paghukom nga inyong ihukom, kamo pagahukman. Ug sa sukdanan nga inyong gisukod, kini ang isukod kaninyo.
3 (None of you should be concerned [about someone else’s small faults] [MET]!/Why should any of you be concerned [about someone else’s small faults]?) [MET, RHQ] [That would be like noticing] a speck in that person’s eye. But you should [be concerned about your own big faults. They are like] [MET] planks in your own eye, which you do not notice.
Ug nganong nagtan-aw kamo ngadto sa gamay nga tipik sa dagami nga anaa sa mata sa inyong mga igsoon, apan wala ninyo mamatikdi ang troso nga anaa sa inyong kaugalingong mata?
4 (You should not say to other people [about their minor faults], ‘Let me remove the specks from your eyes!’/Why do you say to other people [about their minor faults], ‘Let me remove the specks from your eyes?’) [RHQ] [You should not say that] if a plank is still in your own eye [MET].
Giunsa ninyo sa pag-ingon ngadto sa inyong mga igsoon nga, 'Tugoti ako sa pagkuha sa tipik sa dagami nga anaa sa imong mata,' samtang ang troso anaa sa imong kaugalingong mata?
5 You hypocrite, [stop committing your own sins! That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye [MET]. Then, as a result, you will be able to perceive things spiritually so that you can help other people get rid of the [faults] [MET] [that are like] specks in their eyes.”
Tigpakaaron-ingnon kamo! Unaha pagkuha ang troso nga anaa sa inyong kaugalingong mata, ug unya makakita kamo sa klaro aron sa pagkuha sa tipik sa dagami nga anaa sa mata sa inyong igsoon.
6 “You do not give holy things to dogs [that would ignore those things] and attack you [CHI]. You do not throw pearls in front of hogs, [because they would just ignore them] and trample them. [Similarly], do not give [precious spiritual truth to people you know will not value it but instead will do evil things to you].”
Ayaw ihatag kung unsa ang balaan ngadto sa mga iro, ug ayaw ilabay ang inyong mga perlas ngadto sa atubangan sa mga baboy. Kung inyo kining buhaton sila magyatakyatak niini sa ilang mga tiil, ug unya mosumbalik ug magkuniskunis kaninyo sa pino.
7 “Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you. Confidently keep [expecting God to give you the things that you need, and he will give them to you. It will be like] [MET] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying persistently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] [MET] knocking [on a door in order to enter a room]. And the way will be opened {[God] will open the way} for you [to get what you pray for].
Pangayo, ug kini ihatag kaninyo. Pangita, ug kamo makakaplag. Panuktok, ug kini pagaablihan kaninyo.
8 Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep persistently praying for].
Kay ang tanan nga nangayo, makadawat. Ug ang matag-usa nga mangita, makakaplag. Ug ngadto sa tawo nga manuktok, kini pagaablihan.
9 (No man among you would give a stone to his son if his son were to ask for bread./Would anyone among you give a stone to his son if his son were to ask for bread?) [RHQ]
O unsa nga tawo anaa taliwala kaninyo, kung ang iyang anak mangayo kaniya ug tinapay, hatagan ba niya ug bato?
10 Likewise, (no man would give a [poisonous] snake to his son if his son would ask for a fish./would anyone give a [poisonous] snake to his son if his son would ask for a fish?) [RHQ]
O kung siya mangayo ug isda, hatagan ba niya ug bitin?
11 You, who are evil, know how to give good things to your children. So [God], your Father who is in heaven, will certainly give good things to the people who ask him.”
Busa, kung kamong mga daotan nasayod kung unsaon paghatag ug maayong mga gasa ngadto sa inyong mga anak, unsa pa kaha ang inyong Amahan nga gikan sa langit nga naghatag sa mga maayong butang niadtong nangayo kaniya?
12 “So in whatever way you want others to act toward you [(pl)], that is the way you [(pl)] should act toward them, because that [sums up what Moses wrote in] the laws [that God gave him] and [also what] the prophets [wrote long ago].”
Busa, bisan unsa nga mga butang nga buot ninyong ipabuhat sa mga tawo nganha kaninyo, kinahanglan kamo usab magbuhat ngadto kanila, tungod kay kini mao ang balaod ug mga propeta.
13 “[Going to] where people live eternally [with God in heaven] is difficult. [It is like] going along a narrow road [PRS, MET] that leads to a narrow gate. Not many people find that way. [The way] that most [people take] is easy, [but it results in their being punished] {[God punishing them]} [in hell. That way is like a] wide road that people walk on [PRS, MET] until they reach the wide gate, but that road and that gate lead to where [they] will be destroyed {[God] will destroy them}. Many people enter that gate. So I [am telling you to leave the wide road and] enter the narrow gate [to heaven].” (questioned)
Sulod diha sa sigpit nga ganghaan. Kay luag ang ganghaan ug lapad ang dalan nga padulong sa kalaglagan, ug adunay daghang mga tawo ang misubay niini.
Kay sigpit ang ganghaan ug sigpit ang dalan nga padulong sa kinabuhi ug diyutay lamang ang nakakaplag niini.
15 “Beware of people who come to you and say falsely that they are telling you [what God has said]. [They seem to be harmless, but they are extremely harmful. They are like] wolves that have covered themselves with sheepskins [to make people believe that they are sheep] [MET], but they actually are wolves that attack people [MET].
Pagbantay sa mini nga mga propeta, nga moduol kaninyo nga nagbisti sa pangkarnero apan ang tinuod bangis nga mga lobo.
16 [So how will you know that they are false?] Well, by seeing what plants produce, you know [what kind of plants] they are [MET]. [For example, thornbushes cannot produce grapes], so (no one can pick grapes from thornbushes./can anyone pick grapes from thornbushes?) [RHQ] And [thistles cannot produce figs], so (no one can pick figs from thistles./can anyone pick figs from thistles?) [RHQ]
Pinaagi sa ilang mga bunga mailhan ninyo sila. Makabuhat ba ang mga tawo sa pagtapok sa ilang mga ubas nga gikan sa sampinit o mga igos nga gikan sa kadyapa?
17 [Here is another example]: All good fruit trees produce good fruit, but all unhealthy trees produce worthless fruit.
Sa samang paagi, ang matag maayo nga kahoy mamunga ug maayong bunga, apan ang daot nga kahoy mamunga ug daot nga bunga.
18 No good fruit tree is able to produce worthless fruit, and no unhealthy tree is able to produce good fruit.
Ang usa ka maayong kahoy dili mamunga ug daot nga bunga, ni bisan ang daot nga kahoy dili mamunga ug maayong bunga.
19 [And] all the trees that do not produce good fruit are chopped down and burned in a fire {people chop them down and burn them in a fire} [to get rid of them]. [Similarly], those who falsely claim to be prophets [will be thrown] {[God will throw false prophets]} [into the fires of hell]. (questioned)
Ang matag kahoy nga dili mamunga ug maayong bunga pagaputlon ug ilabay ngadto sa kalayo.
20 By seeing [what plants] produce, you know [what kind of plants] they are. [Similarly, when you see what the people who come to you do], [you will know if they are false prophets].”
Busa, mailhan ninyo sila pinaagi sa ilang mga bunga.
21 “[Even though many] people [habitually] call me ‘Lord’, [pretending that they have my authority], some of them will not go to heaven where God rules, [because they do not do what he desires]. [Only] those people who do what my Father, who is in heaven, desires [will go there].
Dili tanan nga miingon kanako, 'Ginoo, Ginoo,' makasulod didto sa gingharian sa langit, apan kadto lamang si bisan kinsa nga nagbuhat sa kabubut-on sa akong Amahan nga anaa sa langit.
22 On the day [MTY] [that God judges everyone], many [people, trying to tell me that they deserve to go to heaven], will say to me, ‘Lord, we(exc) spoke God’s message as your representatives [MTY, RHQ]! As your representatives we(exc) expelled demons from [people] [RHQ]! And as your representatives, many times we(exc) performed miracles [RHQ]!’
Daghang katawhan nga moingon kanako niadtong adlawa, 'Ginoo, Ginoo, dili ba nanagna man kami sa imong ngalan, sa imong ngalan naghingilin ug mga demonyo, ug sa imong ngalan nabuhat ang daghang gamhanan nga mga binuhatan?'
23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I have never said that you belonged to me. Go away from me, you who do what is evil!’”
Unya ako moingon kanila sa dayag, 'Ako wala makaila kaninyo! Palayo gikan kanako, kamo nga nagabuhat ug daotan!'
24 “So then, anyone who hears what I say and does what I command, will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
Busa, ang tanan nga nakadungog sa akong mga pulong ug mituman niini mahisama sa usa ka maalamong tawo nga nagtukod sa iyang balay diha sa usa ka bato.
25 [Even though] the rain came down and the river flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it did not fall down because it had been built {he built it} on a solid foundation.
Ang ulan mibundak, ang baha miabot, ug ang hangin mihuros, ug mihampak niana nga balay, apan wala kini maguba, tungod kay kini natukod man sa bato.
26 On the other hand, anyone who hears what I say but does not obey what I say will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
Apan ang tanan nga nakadungog sa akong mga pulong ug wala motuman niini mahisama sa usa ka buangbuang nga tawo nga nagtukod sa iyang balay diha sa balas.
27 When the rain fell and the rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it crashed down and broke completely apart, [because it was built on the sand. So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
Ang ulan mibundak, ang baha miabot, ug ang hangin mihuros, ug mihampak niana nga balay. Ug naguba kini, ug hingpit kining pagkaguba.”
28 When Jesus finished saying all those things, the [who had been listening to him were] amazed at the [new] teaching that he had taught them.
Kini nahitabo nga sa dihang natapos na si Jesus sa pagsulti niining mga pulonga, ang panon sa katawhan natingala sa iyang gitudlo,
29 The reason they were amazed was that he was teaching as a person does who has authority. He was not teaching like the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, [who just repeated what other people had taught them].
kay siya nanudlo kanila sama sa adunay katungod, ug dili sama sa ilang mga eskriba.
