Matthew 7
1 Do not judge, that you may not be judged.
“Mkoto kuvahamula vangi, muni na nyenye yati mwihamuliwa lepi na Chapanga,
2 For, just as you judge others, you will yourselves be judged, and the measure that you mete will be meted out to you.
Ndava muni chemukuvahamula vangi, na nyenye yati mwihamuliwa, na chipimu chilachila cha mwihengela kwa vangi, ndi Chapanga yati avahengela nyenye.
3 And why do you look at the straw in your brother’s eye, while you pay no attention at all to the beam in yours?
Ndava kyani wilola lungoda mulihu la mlongo waku, na kuni wangaluwona lumbagalu mulihu laku?
4 How will you say to your brother ‘Let me take out the straw from your eye,’ when all the time there is a beam in your own?
Amala yati wijova wuli, kwa mlongo waku, ‘Linda hoti, nikuwusa lungoda mulihu laku,’ Kuni wamwene una lumbagalu mulihu laku?
5 Hypocrite! Take out the beam from your own eye first, and then you will see clearly how to take out the straw from your brother’s.
Veve mweukujikita kuvya mbwina! Wusa hoti lumbagalu lweluvi mulihu laku. Pena ndi peuhotola kulola bwina kuwusa lungoda mulihu la mlongo waku.”
6 Do not give what is sacred to dogs; nor yet throw your pearls before pigs, lest they should trample them under their feet, and then turn and attack you.
“Mkoto kugapela mabwa vindu vyamsopi vakotoka kung'anamuka na kuvalemasa mwavene, amala mkoto kugapela maguluvi lulu zeziguliswa kwa mashonga gamahele muni vakotoka kulivatila kwa magendelu gavi.”
7 Ask, and your prayer shall be granted; search, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.
“Muyupa yati mwipewa, mlondai yati mwipata, muhodisa mlyangu yati vakuvadindulila.
8 For he that asks receives, he that searches finds, and to him that knocks the door shall be opened.
Ndava muni mweiyupa ipewa na mweilonda yati ipata na mweihodisa mlyangu yati idinduliliwa.
9 Who among you, when his son asks him for a loaf, will give him a stone,
Wu, avi mmonga pagati yinu, ngati mwana waki akamuyupa libumunda akumpela liganga?
10 or when he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
Amala akamuyupa somba akumpela liyoka?
11 If you, then, wicked though you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in Heaven give what is good to those that ask him!
Ngati hinu nyenye, mwavahakau, mwimanya kuvapela vana vinu vindu vyabwina, chakaka Dadi winu wa kunani akuvahengela neju akuvapela vindu vyabwina, vala vevakumuyupa.”
12 Do to others whatever you would wish them to do to you; for that is the teaching of both the Law and the Prophets.
“Goha gemwigana vandu vavahengela nyenye, mvahengela na vene mewawa. Yeniyi ndi maana ya Malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa na mawuliwu ga vamlota va Chapanga.”
13 Go in by the small gate. Broad and spacious is the road that leads to destruction, and those that go in by it are many;
“Muyingila kwa kupitila mlyangu udebe. Ndava muni njila yeyilongosa mukuyongomela ndi yipana na mlyangu waki ndi upana, veviyingila mwenumo ndi vamahele.
14 for small is the gate, and narrow the road, that leads to Life, and those that find it are few.
Nambu njila yeyilongosa kuyingila kuwumi wa magono goha ndi ngalingasi na mlyangu waki ungalingasi, vandu vamahele lepi vevihotola kumanya njila yeniyi.”
15 Beware of false Teachers — men who come to you in the guise of sheep, but at heart they are ravenous wolves.
“Mujiyangalila na vamlota va udese, vene vibwela kwinu vakujilangisa cha kuvala ngati limbelele, nambu chamugati ndi libwa likali la kudahi.
16 By the fruit of their lives you will know them. Do people gather grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?
Mukuvamanya ndava ya matendu gavi. Wu, vandu viyava matunda ga zabibu mumkongo wa minga amala tini mumkongo wa minga?
17 So, too, every sound tree bears good fruit, while a worthless tree bears bad fruit.
Mewawa ndi kila mkongo wabwina wipambika matunda gabwina, na mkongo uhakau wipambika matunda gahakau.
18 A sound tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a worthless tree bear good fruit.
Mkongo wabwina nakuhotola kupambika matunda gahakau, kavili mkongo mhakau nakupambika matunda gabwina.
19 Every tree that fails to bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Kila mkongo wangapambika matunda gabwina yati udumuliwa na kutagiwa kumotu.
20 Hence it is by the fruit of their lives that you will know such men.
Hinu, mukuvamanya ndava ya matendu gavi.”
21 Not every one who says to me ‘Master! Master!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven.
“Lepi kila mundu mweakunikemela, ‘Bambu, Bambu,’ Yati iyingila Muunkosi wa Chapanga. Nambu ngayula mweihenga geigana Dadi wangu mweavi kunani.”
22 On ‘That Day’ many will say to me ‘Master, Master, was not it in your name that we taught, and in your name that we drove out demons, and in your name that we did many miracles?’
Vamahele, “Yati vakunijovela, ‘Ligono lila la uhamula wa Bambu, Bambu! Paliina laku tavakokosili vandu ujumbi waku, na paliina laku tavawusili vandu mizuka na kukita gachinamtiti yamahele.’
23 And then I shall say to them plainly ‘I never knew you. Go from my presence, you who live in sin.’
Kangi yati nikuvajovela, katu nakuvamanya nyenye, muwuka palongolo yangu mwemuhenga gahakau!”
24 Everyone, therefore, that listens to this teaching of mine and acts upon it may be compared to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock.
“Hinu mundu yeyoha mweiyuwana malovi gangu na kugahenga, iwanangana na mundu mweavi na luhala lwabwina, mweajengili nyumba yaki panani ya litalau.
25 The rain poured down, the rivers rose, the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, for its foundations were upon the rock.
Fula yikatonya na mifuleni yikamema manji gamahele, mpungu wakabwela na kuyitova nyumba yeniyo. Nambu nyumba yeniyo nakugwa ndava yijengiwi panani ya litalau.”
26 And every one that listens to this teaching of mine and does not act upon it may be compared to a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.
“Nambu mundu yeyoha mweiyuwana malovi gangu na ibela kugahenga, iwanangana na mundu myimu mweijenga nyumba yaki panani ya msavati.
27 The rain poured down, the rivers rose, the winds blew and struck against that house, and it fell; and great was its downfall.”
Fula yikatonya na mifuleni yikamema manji gamahele na mpungu ukabwela na kuitova nyumba yeniyo, nayene yikagwa na kudenyekana neju!”
28 By the time that Jesus had finished speaking, the crowd was filled with amazement at his teaching.
Yesu peamali kujova malovi ago, msambi wa vandu ukakangaswa ndava ya mawuliwu gaki.
29 For he taught them like one who had authority, and not like their Teachers of the Law.
Muni awulayi ngati mundu mweavi na uhotola ndi lepi ngati vawula vavi va malagizu.
