Matthew 7
1 “Do not talk about how sinfully others have acted, in order that God will not say how sinfully you have acted.
Ukataghe kuhukumu naghwe usihidi kuhukumulibhwa.
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}.
Kwa hukumu j'ha ghwihukumu, naghwa ghwibeta kuhukumulibhwa. Na kwa kip'hemu kya ghwip'hema naghwe pia ghwibeta kup'hemibhwa kyakuekhu.
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.
Na kwa ndabha j'ha kiki ghwilota kipandi kya libehe kya kuj'hele mu lihu lya ndongobhu, lakini umanyilepi kipandi kya ligogo ambakyo kuj'hele mu lihu lya bhebhe?
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].
Ghwibhesyabhuli kujobha kwa ndongobhu, lendai nikubhosiaghe kipandi kya kij'hele mu lihu lyakhu, bhwakali kipandi kya ligogo kij'hele mu lihu lya j'hoghwe?
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.”
Mnafiki bhebhe; kwanza bhosiaghe ligogo lyalij'hele mu lihu lya j'hobhi, na ndipo ghwibetakubhwesya kulola nikukibhosya kipandi kya lib'ehe kyakij'hele mu lihu lya ndongobhu.
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].”
Usibhap'heli mabwa kyakij'hele kitakatifu, na usibhakhesusili maghorobhi, mbele j'ha bhene. Vinginevyo bhibetakufiharibu ni kufikanyatila kwa magolo, na kabhele bhibetakugeukila bhebhe ni kukurarura fipandi fipandi.
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].
Somaghe, naghwe ghwibetakup'helibhwa. Londai, naghwe ghwibetakukabha. Bishiaj'hi hodi naghwe ghwibetakubhopolibhwa.
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].
Kwa j'hej'hioha j'hola j'haisoma, ij'hamb'elela. Na kwa j'hej'hioha j'hola j'hailonda, ikabha.
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]
Na kwa munu ambaj'he j'haibisha hodi ibekubhopolibhwa. Au kuj'ha ni munu miongoni mwa muenga ambaj'he, ikaj'hiaghe mwanabhe an's'omili kipandi kya nkati akampela liganga?
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]
Au ikaj'hiagha an's'omili somba ni muene akampela liyoka?
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.”
Henu, ikaj'hiaghe muenga mwe bhaovu mm'anyili kubhap'hela bhanabhinu zawadi sinofu, Je! Ni kiasi gani zaidi tata j'ha aj'hele kunani ibetakubhapela fenu finofu bhala bhabhan's'oma muene?
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].”
Kwa ndabha ej'hu, paghwilonda kubhombibhwa khenu kyokyoha khela ni bhanu bhangi, naghwe pia j'hikulondeka kubhabhombela mebhwa bhene. Kwa kuj'ha ej'hu ndo sheria ni manabii.
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)
Muj'hingilaghe kwa kup'hetela ligeti lisekele. Kwa kuj'ha ligeti ndo lipana ni nj'hela ndo j'hipanuiki j'haj'hilongosya mu bhuharibifu, na bhajhenabhu bhangi bhabhip'hetela nj'hela ej'hu.
Legeti lisekele, Ligeti lisekele ndo nj'hela j'haj'hilongosya mu bhusima na ni bhadebe bhabhibhwesya kujibhona.
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].
Mwikihadhariaj'hi ni manabii bha bhudesi, bhabhihida bha fuele ngozi j'ha ng'osi, lakini bhukuweli ndo mbweha mkali.
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]
Kwa matunda ghabho m'beta kubhamanya. Je bhanu bhibhwesya kuvuna matunda mu mifwa, au mulibeha mu mbeyu j'ha mbaruti?
17 [Here is another example]: All good fruit trees produce good fruit, but all unhealthy trees produce worthless fruit.
Kwa namna ej'hu, khila libehe linofu lihogola matunda manofu, lakini libehe libhibhi lihogola matunda mabhibhi.
18 No good fruit tree is able to produce worthless fruit, and no unhealthy tree is able to produce good fruit.
Libehe linofu libhwesya lepi kuhogola matunda mabhibhi, bhwala libehe libhibhi libhwesyalepi kuhogola matunda manofu.
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)
Khila libehe lya lihogola lepi matunda manofu lidumulibhwa ni kutaghibhwa mu muoto.
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].”
Henu, mwibeta kubhamanya kutokana ni matunda gha bhene.
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].
Si khila munu j'ha ikam'mbola nene, 'Bwana, Bwana,' ubetakuj'hingila mu bhufalme bhwa kumbinguni, bali muene j'haibhomba mapenzi gha tata ghwangu j'ha aj'hele kumbingni.
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]!’
Bhanu bhingi bhibetakumbola ligono e'lu, 'Bwana, Bwana, twah'omisi lepi bhunabii kwa lihina lya bhebhe, twabhosi lepi mapepo kwa lihina lya bhebhe, na kwa lihina lya bhebhe twabhombili matendo mingi mabhah?'
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!’”
Ndipo nibetakubhajobhela bhwasi, 'nabhatambuili lepi muenga! Mubhokaj'hi kwa nene, muenga j'ha mwibhomba maovu!'
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.
Kwa ej'hu, khila mmonga j'haip'heleka malobhi ghangu ni kutii ibetakufuana ni munu j'haaj'hele ni hekima j'haajengili nyumba j'ha muene panani pa muamba.
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.
Fula ikatonya, mafuriko ghakahida, ni mp'ongo ukahida na ukatobha nyumba ej'hu, lakini j'habhwesilepi kubina pasi kwa kuj'ha j'hajengibhu panani pa mwamba.
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.
Lakini khila munu j'haip'heleka lilobhi lyangu naasilitii ibetakufananisibhwa ni munu mpumbafu j'haajengili nyumba j'ha muene panani pa nsanga.
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].”
Fula j'hikahida, mafuriko ghakahida ni mp'ongo ukahida ni kuj'hitobha nyumba ej'hu. Na j'habinili, ni bhuharibifu bhwake bhukakamilika.”
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.
Bhafikiri bhwakati ambabho Yesu bho amalili kulongela malobhi agha, makutano bhasyangesibhu ni mafundisu gha muene,
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].
kwa kuj'ha afundisi kama munu j'ha aj'hele ni mamlaka, na sio kama bhalembesi bha bhene.
