Matthew 7
1 “Do not talk about how sinfully others have acted, in order that God will not say how sinfully you have acted.
Saankayo a mangukom, tapno saankayonto a maukom.
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}.
Ta no kasano ti panangukomyo, kastanto met ti pannakaukomyo. Ken ti rukod a pangrukodyo, isunto met ti mairukod kadakayo.
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.
Ken apay a kitaenyo ti bassit a puted ti garami iti mata ti kabsatyo, ngem saanyo a madlaw ti troso nga adda iti bukodyo a 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].
Kasanoyo nga ibaga iti kabsatyo, 'Bay-am nga ikkatek ti bassit a puted ti garami nga adda iti matam,' idinto ta adda dakkel a troso iti matam?
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.”
Dakayo managinsisingpet! Ikkatenyo pay nga umuna ti troso iti matayo, ket kalpasanna, makitayonto a silalawag ti ikkatenyo a bassit a puted ti garami nga adda iti mata ti kabsatyo.
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].”
Saanyo nga ited ti nasantoan kadagiti aso, ken saanyo nga ipurruak dagiti perlasyo iti sangoanan dagiti baboy. Di laketta ibaddebaddekda dagitoy, ket tumallikodda ken rangrangkayen dakayo.
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].
Dumawatkayo, ket maitedto daytoy kadakayo. Agsapulkayo, ket masarakanyonto. Agtuktokkayo, ket mailulakatto daytoy kadakayo.
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].
Ta tunggal maysa nga agdawat, ket umawat; ken ti tunggal maysa nga agsapul, makasarak; ken ti tao nga agtuktok, ket mailukatanto.
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]
Wenno siasino kadakayo a no dumawat ti anakna a lalaki iti tinapay, ket ikkanna iti 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]
Wenno, no dumawat iti lames, ikkanna kadi iti uleg?
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.”
Ngarud, no dakayo a managdakdakes ammoyo ti mangted iti nasayaat a sagut kadagiti annakyo, saan kadi a nangnangruna a ni Amayo manipud langit ket mangted kadagiti nasayaat a banbanag kadagiti dumawat kenkuana?
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].”
Ngarud, aniaman a banag a kayatyo nga aramiden dagiti tao kadakayo, aramidenyo met ngarud daytoy kadakuada, ta daytoy ti linteg ken insurat dagiti profeta.
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)
Sumrekkayo iti nailet a ruangan. Ta nalawa ti ruangan ken nalawa ti dalan nga agturong iti pannakadadael, ket adu dagiti tattao nga agturong iti daytoy.
Ngem ti ruangan nga agturong iti biag ket nailet, ket bassit ti makasarak iti daytoy.
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].
Agannad kadagiti palso a profeta, nga umay kadakayo a nakakawes a kas iti karnero ngem iti kinapudnona narungsotda a 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]
Maam-amoyo isuda babaen kadagiti bungada. Agurnong kadi dagiti tao iti ubas manipud kadagiti bassit a narabuy ken nasiit a mula wenno igos manipud kadagiti sisiit?
17 [Here is another example]: All good fruit trees produce good fruit, but all unhealthy trees produce worthless fruit.
Iti kasta met laeng a wagas, amin a nasayaat a kayo ket mangpataud iti nasayaat a bunga, ngem ti dakes a kayo ket mangpataud iti dakes a bunga.
18 No good fruit tree is able to produce worthless fruit, and no unhealthy tree is able to produce good fruit.
Ti maysa a nasayat a kayo ket saan a makapataud iti saan a nasayaat a bunga, ken kasta met a ti dakes a kayo ket saan a makapataud iti nasayaat a 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)
Tunggal kayo a saan nga agbunga iti nasayaat ket maputed ken maipurruak iti apuy.
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].”
No kasta ngarud, mailasinyonto ida babaen kadagiti bungada.
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].
Saan nga amin a mangibaga kaniak, ' 'Apo, Apo,' ket makastrekto iti pagarian ti langit, ngem dagiti laeng nangaramid iti pagayatan ni Amak nga adda sadi 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]!’
Adunto a tattao ti agkuna kaniak iti dayta nga aldaw, 'Apo, Apo, saan kadi a nagipadtokami babaen iti naganmo, iti naganmo pinaksiatmi dagiti demonio, ken iti naganmo nagaramidkami kadagiti agkakabileg nga aramid?'
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!’”
Ket ibagakto kadakuada, 'Saankayo nga am-ammo! Umadayokayo kaniak, dakayo a managdakdakes!'
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.
Ngarud, tunggal maysa a makangeg kadagiti sasaok ken mangtungpal kadagitoy ket kaslanto iti maysa a nasirib a tao a nangipatakder iti balayna iti rabaw ti 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.
Immay ti tudo, immay ti layus, nagangin iti napigsa iti dayta a balay, ngem saan a narba, gapu ta naipatakder iti rabaw ti 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.
Ngem tunggal maysa a makangngeg kadagiti sasaok ket saanna a tungpalen dagitoy, kaslanto iti maag a tao a nangipatakder iti balayna iti kadaratan.
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].”
Immay ti tudo, immay ti layus, ken nagangin iti napigsa iti dayta a balay. Ket narba daytoy, ken naminpinsan ti pannakadadaelna.”
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.
Ket idi nalpas a naibaga ni Jesus dagitoy a sasao, nasdaaw dagiti tattao gapu iti panangisurona,
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].
ta insurona ida a kas maysa nga addaan iti turay, ken saan a kas kadagiti eskriba.
