< Mathayo 7 >

1 “Mũtigaciirithanagie nĩgeetha na inyuĩ mũtikanaciirithio.
“Do not judge, so that you will not be judged.
2 Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa mũtuagĩra andũ arĩa angĩ ciira, noguo na inyuĩ mũgaatuĩrwo ciira, na gĩthimi kĩrĩa mũthimanagĩra nakĩo, no kĩo mũrĩthimagĩrwo nakĩo.
For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
3 “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga wone kĩhuti kĩrĩa kĩrĩ riitho rĩa mũrũ wa thoguo, no ũkaaga kuona mũgogo ũrĩa ũrĩ riitho rĩaku wee mwene?
Why do yoʋ see the speck in yoʋr brother's eye, but do not consider the beam in yoʋr own eye?
4 Wahota atĩa kwĩra mũrũ wa thoguo atĩrĩ, ‘Reke ngũrute kĩhuti kĩu kĩrĩ riitho rĩaku,’ o rĩrĩa wee mwene ũrĩ na mũgogo riitho rĩaku?
Or how will yoʋ say to yoʋr brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of yoʋr eye,’ when there is a beam in yoʋr own eye?
5 Wee hinga ĩno, amba ũrute mũgogo ũcio ũrĩ riitho rĩaku, nĩguo wone wega na ũhote kũruta kĩhuti kĩrĩa kĩrĩ riitho rĩa mũrũ wa thoguo.
Hypocrite! First take the beam out of yoʋr own eye, and then yoʋ will see clearly to take the speck out of yoʋr brother's eye.
6 “Mũtikanahe magui kĩndũ kĩrĩa kĩamũre, na mũtikanaikĩrie ngũrwe ruru cianyu. Mũngĩĩka ũguo-rĩ, ingĩrangĩrĩria ruru na magũrũ ma cio, icooke imũgarũrũke, imũtiihangie.
“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them with their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
7 “Hooyai na nĩmũkũheo; mathaai na nĩmũkuona; ringaringai mũrango na nĩmũkũhingũrĩrwo.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
8 Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa wothe ũhooyaga nĩaheagwo, na ũrĩa ũmaathaga nĩonaga, na ũrĩa ũringaringaga mũrango, nĩahingũragĩrwo.
For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and for him who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 “Na rĩrĩ, nũũ wanyu ũngĩĩtio mũgate nĩ mwana wake amũhe ihiga?
Or what man is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone;
10 Kana amwĩtie thamaki nake amũhe nyoka?
and if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?
11 Angĩkorwo inyuĩ, o na mũrĩ ooru, nĩmũũĩ kũhe ciana cianyu iheo njega-rĩ, githĩ Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ ndagakĩrĩrĩria kũhe iheo njega kũrĩ arĩa mamũhooyaga!
If you then, being evil, 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!
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, maũndũ-inĩ mothe, ĩkagai andũ arĩa angĩ ũrĩa mũngĩenda mamwĩkage, nĩgũkorwo ũcio nĩguo Watho wa Musa na Ũrutani wa Anabii.
“Therefore whatever you wish that others would do to you, do the same also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
13 “Toonyerai mũromo ũrĩa mũceke. Nĩgũkorwo mũromo nĩ mwariĩ na njĩra nĩ njariĩ ĩrĩa yerekeire rĩũrĩro, na andũ arĩa matoonyagĩra ho nĩ aingĩ.
“Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
14 No mũromo nĩ mũkunderu na njĩra nĩ njeke ĩrĩa ĩkinyaga muoyo-inĩ, na andũ arĩa mamĩonaga nĩ anini.
How narrow is the gate, and restricted the way that leads to life, and there are few who find it!
15 “Mwĩhũgagei anabii a maheeni. Mokaga kũrĩ inyuĩ mehumbĩte njũa cia ngʼondu, no thĩinĩ wao nĩ njũũi ndĩani.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16 Nĩmũrĩmamenyaga na maciaro mao. Kaĩ thabibũ igĩtuuagwo mĩtĩ-inĩ ya mĩigua, kana ngũyũ igatuuo kuuma mahiũ-inĩ ma nyeki?
By their fruits you will know them. Do people gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Ũguo noguo, mũtĩ wothe mwega ũciaraga maciaro mega, no mũtĩ mũũru ũciaraga maciaro mooru.
In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.
18 Mũtĩ mwega ndũngĩciara maciaro mooru, naguo mũtĩ mũũru ndũngĩciara maciaro mega.
A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, neither can a bad tree produce good fruit.
19 Mũtĩ o wothe ũtaciaraga maciaro mega nĩgũtemwo ũtemagwo ũgaikio mwaki-inĩ.
Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Ũguo nĩguo mũrĩmamenyaga nĩ ũndũ wa maciaro mao.
Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
21 “To mũndũ ũrĩa ũnjĩtaga, ‘Mwathani, Mwathani,’ ũgaatoonya ũthamaki wa igũrũ, no nĩ ũrĩa wĩkaga ũrĩa Baba ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ endaga.
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father in heaven.
22 Mũthenya ũcio aingĩ makanjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani, Mwathani, githĩ tũtiarathaga maũndũ na rĩĩtwa rĩaku, na thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku tũkaingata ndaimono na tũkaringa ciama nyingĩ?’
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in yoʋr name, and in yoʋr name cast out demons, and in yoʋr name do many miracles?’
23 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngameera wega atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndirĩ hĩndĩ ndaamũũĩ o na rĩ. Eherai harĩ niĩ, inyuĩ mwĩkaga ũũru!’
Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.’
24 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mũndũ o wothe ũiguaga ciugo ici ciakwa na ageeka ũrĩa ciugĩte, ahaana ta mũndũ mũũgĩ ũrĩa wakire nyũmba yake igũrũ rĩa rwaro rwa ihiga.
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them I will compare to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 Nayo mbura ĩkiura, na njũũĩ ikĩiyũra, naruo rũhuho rũkĩhurutana nacio ikĩhũũra nyũmba ĩyo na nditi, no nyũmba ĩyo ndĩagũire, tondũ mũthingi wayo wakĩtwo igũrũ rĩa rwaro rwa ihiga.
The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 No mũndũ o wothe ũiguaga ciugo ici ciakwa na ndekaga ũrĩa ciugĩte ahaana ta mũndũ mũkĩĩgu ũrĩa wakire nyũmba yake mũthanga igũrũ.
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27 Nayo mbura ĩkiura, njũũĩ ikĩiyũra, naruo rũhuho rũkĩhurutana nacio ikĩhũũra nyũmba ĩyo na nditi, nayo nyũmba ĩyo ĩkĩmomoka na kũgũa kũnene.”
The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was its fall.”
28 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩkirie kuuga maũndũ macio, kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩkĩgega nĩ ũndũ wa ũrutani wake,
When Jesus finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
29 tondũ aarutanaga ta mũndũ warĩ na ũhoti, na ti ta ũrĩa arutani ao a watho maarutanaga.
because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
