Matthew 7
1 "Judge not, that you may not be judged;
“Unu ekpela ndị ọzọ ikpe, ka a ghara ikpekwa unu ikpe.
2 for your own judgement will be dealt--and your own measure meted--to yourselves.
Nʼihi na a ga-ekpe unu ikpe dịka unu si kpee ndị ọzọ. Ọ bụkwa ihe unu ji tụọrọ ndị ọzọ ka a ga-eji tụọrọ unu.
3 And why do you look at the splinter in your brother's eye, and not notice the beam which is in your own eye?
“Gịnị mere i ji elee ntakịrị ahịhịa dị nwanna gịnʼanya ma ị dịghị ahụta obodobo osisi dị gị onwe gị nʼanya?
4 Or how say to your brother, 'Allow me to take the splinter out of your eye,' while the beam is in your own eye?
Olee otu ị ga-esi gwa ya si, ‘Nwanna m, kwere ka m tụpụ gị ntakịrị ahịhịa danyere gị nʼanya,’ mgbe obodobo osisi dị gị nʼanya, nke na-adịghị ekwe gị hụzie ụzọ.
5 Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.
Onye ihu abụọ! Buru ụzọ wepụ obodobo osisi dị gị nʼanya ka i nwee ike ịhụzi ụzọ tụpụ ntakịrị ahịhịa nke dị nwanna gị nʼanya.
6 "Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor throw your pearls to the swine; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and then turn and attack you.
“Enyela nkịta ihe dị nsọ. Enyekwala ezi ihe dị oke ọnụahịa. Ha ga-azọtọ ha ma tụgharịakwa dọrie gị.
7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
“Na-arịọnụ, unu ga-arịọta, na-achọnụ, unu ga-achọta, kụọkwanụ aka nʼụzọ, a ga-emeghekwara unu ụzọ.
8 For it is always he who asks that receives, he who seeks that finds, and he who knocks that has the door opened to him.
Nʼihi na onye na-arịọ, na-arịọta. Onye na-achọ, na-achọta. Onye na-akụ aka nʼụzọ ka a ga-emeghekwara ụzọ.
9 What man is there among you, who if his son shall ask him for bread will offer him a stone?
“Ọ dị onye nʼime unu, ma ọ bụrụ na nwa ya arịọọ ya achịcha, ga-enye ya okwute?
10 Or if the son shall ask him for a fish will offer him a snake?
Maọbụ, nwata ahụ arịọọ azụ, o nye ya agwọ?
11 If you then, imperfect as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
Ya mere, ebe unu ndị ọjọọ maara otu e si enye ụmụ unu ezi onyinye, Nna unu bi nʼeluigwe ọ gaghị enye unu karịa, ma ọ bụrụ na unu arịọọ ya!
12 Everything, therefore, be it what it may, that you would have men do to you, do you also the same to them; for in this the Law and the Prophets are summed up.
Ya mere, nʼime ihe niile, na-emeso ndị mmadụ dị ka i si chọọ ka ha mesoo gị. Nke a bụ nchịkọta ihe iwu na ndị amụma ziri.
13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad the road which leads to ruin, and many there are who enter by it;
“Sitenụ nʼọnụ ụzọ dị warawara banye. Nʼihi na ọnụ ụzọ ahụ dị obosara. Mbara ka ụzọ ahụ dịkwa na-eduba nʼịla nʼiyi. Ọtụtụ na-esoro ya.
14 because narrow is the gate and contracted the road which leads to Life, and few are those who find it.
Ole na ole na-achọta ụzọ ahụ na-eduba na ndụ, nʼihi na ọ dị warawara, dịkwa nkpagide.
15 "Beware of the false teachers--men who come to you in sheep's fleeces, but beneath that disguise they are ravenous wolves.
“Kpachapụnụ anya! Nʼihi na ndị amụma ụgha dị. Ha na-abịakwute unu nʼụdịdị atụrụ, ma ha bụ agụ.
16 By their fruits you will easily recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thorns or figs from brambles?
A ga-esite na mkpụrụha mata ndị ha bụ. Ndị mmadụ ọ na-esite nʼosisi ogwu dị nʼọhịa ghọta mkpụrụ osisi grepu, ka ha na-esite nʼosisi uke gbara nʼọhịa ghọta mkpụrụ fiig?
17 Just so every good tree produces good fruit, but a poisonous tree produces bad fruit.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, osisi ọbụla dị mma na-amịpụta mkpụrụ ọma, ma osisi dị njọ na-amịpụta mkpụrụ dị njọ.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a poisonous tree good fruit.
Osisi na-amị mkpụrụ ọma adịghị amị mkpụrụ ọjọọ. Nke na-amị mkpụrụ ọjọọ adịghịkwa amị mkpụrụ ọma.
19 Every tree which does not yield good fruit is cut down and thrown aside for burning.
Ma osisi ọbụla na-amịghị mkpụrụ ọma ka a ga-egbutu tụnye ya nʼọkụ.
20 So by their fruits at any rate, you will easily recognize them.
Ụzọ e si amata osisi ọma bụ site na mkpụrụ ya.
21 "Not every one who says to me, 'Master, Master,' will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens, but only those who are obedient to my Father who is in Heaven.
“Ọ bụghị ndị niile na-asị m ‘Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị,’ ga-abanye nʼalaeze eluigwe, kama ọ bụ naanị ndị ahụ na-eme ihe Nna m nọ nʼeluigwe na-achọ ka ha mee.
22 Many will say to me on that day, "'Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Thy name, and in Thy name expelled demons, and in Thy name performed many mighty works?'
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ ga-asị m, ‘Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ na anyị ejighị aha gị buo amụma, jiri aha gị chụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ, ma jirikwa aha gị ruo ọtụtụ ọrụ ebube?’
23 "And then I will tell them plainly, "'I never knew you: begone from me, you doers of wickedness.'
Mgbe ahụ aga m agwa ha hoohaa sị ha, ‘Amaghị m unu, sitenụ nʼihu m pụọ, unu ndị ajọ omume!’
24 "Every one who hears these my teachings and acts upon them will be found to resemble a wise man who builds his house upon rock;
“Onye ọbụla ṅara ntị nʼokwu ndị a m kwuru, ma meekwa ha, dị ka nwoke ahụ maara ihe, onye wuru ụlọ ya nʼelu oke nkume.
25 and the heavy rain falls, the swollen torrents come, and the winds blow and beat against the house; yet it does not fall, for its foundation is on rock.
Mmiri zosikwara ike nʼelu ụlọ ahụ, idee mmiri sọkwara, tie nʼụlọ ahụ. Ifufe siri ike fekwara, ma ụlọ ahụ adaghị. Nʼihi na e wuru ntọala ya nʼelu oke nkume.
26 And every one who hears these my teachings and does not act upon them will be found to resemble a fool who builds his house upon sand.
Ma ndị niile nụrụ okwu ndị a, ma lefuru ha anya, bụ ndị nzuzu. Ha dị ka nwoke wuru ụlọ ya nʼelu aja.
27 The heavy rain descends, the swollen torrents come, and the winds blow and burst upon the house, and it falls; and disastrous is the fall."
Ngwangwa mmiri zoro, idee mmiri sọkwara, ifufe fesikwara ike tie nʼụlọ ahụ, ụlọ ahụ dara daruo ala. Ọdịda ya dị ukwuu.”
28 When Jesus had concluded this discourse, the crowds were filled with amazement at His teaching,
Mgbe Jisọs kwuchara okwu ndị a, ozizi ya juru igwe mmadụ ahụ niile anya.
29 for He had been teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their Scribes taught.
Nʼihi na o ziri ihe dịka onye nwere ikike. Ọ bụghị dị ka ndị ozizi iwu ha.
