Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
“ʻOua naʻa mou fakamaau, telia naʻa fakamaaua ʻakimoutolu.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and the measure which ye give, shall be measured to you again.
He ko e anga ko ia ʻoku mou fakamaau ʻaki, ʻe fakamaaua ai ʻakimoutolu: pea ko e fuofua ko ia te mo fua ʻaki, ʻe toe fua ʻaki ia kiate kimoutolu.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke tokanga ai ki he malamalaʻi ʻakau ʻoku ʻi he mata ʻo ho kāinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokanga ki he fuʻu ʻakau ʻoku ʻi ho mata ʻoʻou?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thy eye; and behold, a beam [is] in thy own eye?
Pea ʻe fēfē haʻo faʻa pehē ki ho kāinga, ‘Tuku ke u toʻoa mai ʻae malamalaʻi ʻakau mei ho mata:’ kae vakai, [ʻoku ai ]ʻae fuʻu ʻakau ʻi ho mata ʻoʻou?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Ko e mālualoi koe, tomuʻa, lī ʻae fuʻu ʻakau mei ho mata ʻoʻou; pea te ke toki mamata totonu ke toʻo ʻae malamalaʻi ʻakau mei he mata ʻo ho kāinga.
6 Give not that which [is] holy to dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
“ʻOua naʻa ʻoatu ʻae meʻa māʻoniʻoni ki he fanga kulī, pe sī hoʻomou mataʻitofe ki he fanga puaka, telia naʻa nau malamalaki ia ʻi honau lalo vaʻe, pea foki mai ʻo haehae ʻakimoutolu.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you:
“Kole, pea ʻe foaki ia kiate kimoutolu; kumi, pea te mou ʻilo; tukituki, pea ʻe toʻo ia kiate kimoutolu:
8 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door shall be opened.
He ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku kole, ʻoku ne maʻu; pea ko ia ʻoku kumi, ʻoku ne ʻilo; pea ko ia ʻoku tukituki, ʻe toʻo kiate ia.
9 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask bread, will give him a stone?
He ko e tangata fē ʻiate kimoutolu, kapau ʻe kole mā ʻe hono foha, te ne ʻoange ki ai ha maka?
10 Or if he shall ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Pe kapau te ne kole ha ika, ʻe ʻoange ki ai ha ngata?
11 If ye then being evil know [how] to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou ʻilo, ka ko e angakovi, ke foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei ki hoʻomou fānau, ʻe fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe [fie ]foaki ʻae ngaahi lelei ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi kiate kinautolu ʻoku kole kiate ia?
12 Therefore all things whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Ko ia, ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mou loto ke fai ʻe he kakai kiate kimoutolu, ke mou fai ia kiate kinautolu: he ko e fono ia mo e kau palōfita.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in by it.
“Mou hū ʻi he matapā fāsiʻi: he ʻoku fālahi ʻae matapā, mo ʻataʻatā ʻae hala, ʻoku fakatau ki he mate, pea ʻoku hū ai ʻae tokolahi.
14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth to life, and few there are that find it.
Koeʻuhi ʻoku fāsiʻi ʻae matapā, mo lausiʻi ʻae hala, ʻoku fakatau ki he moʻui, pea ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻe he tokosiʻi pe.
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
“Vakai telia ʻae kau palōfita kākā, ʻoku haʻu kiate kimoutolu ʻoku kofu fakasipi, ka ko e fanga ulofi fekai ʻi loto ʻakinautolu.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits: Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles:
Te mou ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi fua. He ʻoku toli ʻe he kakai ʻae fua ʻoe vaine ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pe ko e fiki ʻi he talatalaʻāmoa?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Pea pehē, ʻoku tupu ʻi he ʻakau lelei kotoa pē ʻae fua lelei; kae tupu ʻi he ʻakau kovi ʻae fua kovi.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
ʻE ʻikai faʻa tupu ʻi he ʻakau lelei ʻae fua kovi, pe tupu ʻi he ʻakau kovi ʻae fua lelei.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Ko e ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai tupu ai ʻae fua lelei ʻoku tā hifo, pea laku ki he afi.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them,
Ko ia te mou ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi fua.
21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
“ʻE ʻikai hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku pehē mai kiate au, ‘ʻEiki, ʻEiki,’ ka ko ia ʻoku ne fai ʻae finangalo ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out demons? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
ʻE pehē kiate au ʻe he tokolahi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ‘ʻEiki, ʻEiki, ʻikai naʻa mau akonaki ʻi ho huafa? Pea ʻi ho huafa naʻa mau kapusi kituʻa ʻae kau tēvolo? Pea ʻi ho huafa naʻa mau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana lahi?’
23 And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Pea te u toki fakahā kiate kinautolu, ‘Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te u ʻiloa ʻakimoutolu: ʻalu ʻiate au ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fai kovi.’
24 Therefore whoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock:
“Ko ia ʻoku ne fanongo ki heʻeku tala ni, pea fai ki ai, te u fakatatau ia ki he tangata poto, naʻe langa hono fale ʻi he [funga ]maka:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Pea tō ʻae ʻuha, pea ʻoho mai ʻae vai, pea hoko mo e havili, ʻo tō ki he fale ko ia; ka naʻe ʻikai holo ia: he naʻe langa ia ʻi he funga maka.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:
“Ka ko ia ia ʻoku fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi tala ni, pea ʻikai fai ki ai, ʻe fakatatau ia ki he tangata vale, ʻaia naʻe langa hono fale ʻi he ʻoneʻone:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell, and great was the fall of it.
Pea tō ʻae ʻuha, pea ʻoho mai ʻae vai, pea hoko mo e havili, ʻo tō ki he fale ko ia; pea holo ia: pea ko e meʻa lahi ʻa hono holoki.”
28 And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine.
Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi tala ni, pea ofo ʻae kakai ʻi heʻene akonaki:
29 For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.
He naʻa ne akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo taau mo ia ʻoku mālohi, kae ʻikai hangē ko e kau tangata tohi.
