Matthew 7
1 “Do not talk about how sinfully others have acted, in order that God will not say how sinfully you have acted.
“Sen ih mih ladande theng, eno ba sen ah Rangte ih tadande ran,
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}.
tumeah sen ih mih mamet dande han erah jun ih Rangte ih sen emamah ih dande han, nyia mih damdi mame re lan erah likhiik ih Rangte uh sen damdoh emamah ih reeha.
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.
Erah bah, sen ih sen joonte mikmaang ah mamet mi beek an, sen mik dowa bangthah ah laphang dok haat kanbah ah?
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].
Senphoh senno suh sen ih mamet mi li an ‘An mikmaang ah beek ha eah’ sen mik nah bangthah ah hui anno ah?
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.”
Lonoite sen loong! Jaakhoh sen mik nawa bangthah ah chaak beek haat an, sen ah miksing ang an no ba senphoh senno mikmaang ah mi beek haat an.
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].”
“Hi suh esaajih ah nak koh an—neng ih an ba ngaak phak ho. Sen ih thaangchaan jekteh ah wak ngathong nah nak haat an—neng ih enoopnak ba et ah.
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].
“Echeng et an, echoh ean, ejam et an echojam et an, erengtok et anno ba kaaluung ah daap kohan.
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].
O mina ih echeng et ah erah ih choh ah, o ih jam et ah erah ih chojam ah, o ih erengtok et ah erah suh kaaluung ah daap koh ah.
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]
Sen hewah angte loong ah ih sen sah suh jong nih katoon koh an phaksat suh handi ah?
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]
Adoleh sen dowa nyasi suh hanbah pu nih koh an?
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.”
An mathan taat thih ubah uh, an ih jat et hu an sah suh eseejih ah mamet kottheng ah. Erah ang abah Rangmong dowa sen Wah ih tang echengte suh bah eseejih ah kot suh ejat dook et ah!
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].”
“An teewah raangtaan ih an mame reelu wahoh raangtaan ih uh emamah ih re uh: Erah reelan asuh liita Moses Hootthe nyia khowah loong ih nyootsoot theng jengkhaap eah.
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)
“Sen paakaawan ehin adoh nopwang an, tumeah soolam paakaawan ah elong eno erah lam adi khoom suh elaang, erah di khoomte loong hantek je ah.
Enoothong roidong paakaawan abah ehin, eno erah di khoom ah echaan, erah thoih erah lam adi khoomte ah eneeko ah.
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].
“Sen banban ih tong an emoong tiitbaatte khowah loong jiin nawa ah; neng sen miksok doh saapsah likhiik eh thok ha, enoothong amiimi nengten nengmong nah bah so likhiik angrum ah.
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]
Sen ih neng reeraang nawa ih jat an. Suh phook nah anggut tiik ah tami dong tiikka, nyia suh phook nah puksak tiik tami dong tiikka.
17 [Here is another example]: All good fruit trees produce good fruit, but all unhealthy trees produce worthless fruit.
Bang se adoh hetiik uh ese ih tiik ah, enoothong jootthih ehin bang adoh hetiik uh jootthih ju ang ah.
18 No good fruit tree is able to produce worthless fruit, and no unhealthy tree is able to produce good fruit.
Bang se elong adoh babah uh jootthih tadong tiikka, nyia bangthih adoh uh jaase tadong tiikka ang ah.
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)
Eno marah bang hetiik tatiikka erah dook ano we nah tak ah.
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].”
Erah likhiik, tiit emoong baatte khowah loong ah sen ih neng reeraang nawa ih jat et an.
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].
“Warep ih ngah suh ‘Teesu, Teesu’ ih poon thaang ih Rangmong hasong nah tachoh wangka, erah nang ih bah marah Rangmong nawa seng Wah ih mamet jamha jun ih reete loong abah chowang ah.
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]!’
Dande sa thok kohaano ba, warep ih ngah suh ‘Teesu, Teesu ih liihang! An mendi seng ih Rangte tiit ah baat etti, an mendi seng ih juung abaan nep dokphanti erah damdi epaatjaajih uh ephoop reeti!’
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!’”
Eno erah sa doh Ngah ih neng suh li ang, ‘Ngah ih sen babah uh tajat rum taha. Mih lajak loong nga re nawa soon ean!’
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.
“Erah thoih, o ih nga tiit ah chaat ano naririh et kap ha erah ih heh nok jong khoni hoon arah likhiik.
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.
Jong khoni hoonha nok ah rang ah phaat, juung ah nuung, pong ah pong ih abah uh, babah uh tarungdatka, tumeah erah jong khoni hoonta.
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.
“Enoothong o mina ih nga tiit ah chaat ano takapka erah loong abah, thungko mina ih heh nok phisaang khoni hoon arah likhiik ang ah.
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].”
Rang ah phaat, juung ah nuung, pong ah pong ih kano, rungdat eah. Eno tumthan echoojih ang ah erah rungdat sa doh ah!”
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.
Jisu ih erah tiit loong ah thoonbaat rum kano, miloong ah rapne ih paatja rumta heh ih nyootta jengkhaap ah chaat rum ano ah.
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].
Heh ah Hootthe nyootte loong likhiik tah angta; erah nang ih, chaan aphaan lam ih nyootsoot rumta.
