Mateu 7
1 Sanzi uatuli, ni we kete u atulwe.
“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.
2 Mo atwira nawe mwete utwirwe, Mi mulikaniso wo likanisa, ni wee mukulikaniswe.
For with whatever judgment you judge, so shall you be judged; and with whatever measure you measure out, so shall it be measured back to you.
3 Chinzi holola chitoweze muliso lyo mukwenu, kono ko lemuhi chikutoweze muliso ya ko?
And how can you see the splinter in your brother’s eye, and not see the board in your own eye?
4 U wola bule kuwamba kumukwenu, kuti nisaka kuku zwisa chimutoweze muliso, kono mu liso lya ko kwina chikutowenze na wee?
Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter from your eye,’ while, behold, a board is in your own eye?
5 Iwe ulihele! tange u zwise chikutoweze muliso lyako, linu mobone site ni ku wola kuzwisa chitoweze mukwako muliso.
Hypocrite, first remove the board from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.
6 Musiye kuha zilyo zi njolola ku ba mbwa, mu siye ku sohela mabwe abutokwa habusu bwe zingulube. Ha kuba bulyo zi wola ku a lyatola cha matende, mi ni kubola kwiza ku kuñatola hakati.
Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not cast your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they may trample them under their feet, and then, turning, they may tear you apart.
7 Kubile, ko hewe. Sake, mo wane. Ngongote, mo wi lyalulwe
Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
8 Mi yese ukubila u hewa, mi yese usaka, uwana. Mi mutu u ngongota, we wulilwa.
For everyone who asks, receives; and whoever seeks, finds; and to anyone who knocks, it will be opened.
9 Kapa kwina mutu mukati kenu, kuti mwana nkwe ha mukubila inkoko, linu umu ha ibwe?
Or what man is there among you, who, if his son were to ask him for bread, would offer him a stone;
10 kapa ha kubila inswi, amu muhe inzoka?
or if he were to ask him for a fish, would offer him a snake?
11 chikwina bulyo, haiba iwe u muvi winzi kuha i mpo kubana bako, ku wo leka bule kwe ishenu wina kwiwulu kumuha zitu zilotu ku ba mukubila?
Therefore, if you, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your sons, how much more will your Father, who is in heaven, give good things to those who ask him?
12 Linu, zitu zose zosaka kuti vatu vaku chitire, ni we u swanela kuba kuva chitira zonse, ici nji mulawo ni ma polofita.
Therefore, all things whatsoever that you wish that men would do to you, do so also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.
13 Njile mwi nzila i ñuñu. Mulyango u zaseme ahulu ni kwiyaluka ahulu ulolete ku kufwa, Mi batu ba bangi ba yenda mwayo.
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate, and broad is the way, which leads to perdition, and many there are who enter through it.
14 Mulyango muñuñu ni nzila iñuñu zitwala kubu halo, mi bache baiwana.
How narrow is the gate, and how straight is the way, which leads to life, and few there are who find it!
15 Mutiye maporofita ba mapa, ba keza kwenu ni chizwato chengu kono buniti ba tuhu bafile zala.
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16 Kezihatu zabo mobezibe. Kana batu ba kunganya zichelatu ze waine ku chisamu cha miya kapa i efenga kuzwa kwi inkoma?
You shall know them by their fruits. Can grapes be gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Mwi nzila iswana, cose ci samu cilotu ciha zi chelatu zilotu, kono cisamu cibi ciha zichelatu zivi.
So then, every good tree produces good fruit, and the evil tree produces evil fruit.
18 Chisamu chilotu kachi woli kuha zihatu zivi, ni chisamu chivi kachiwoli kuha zihatu zilotu.
A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, and an evil tree is not able to produce good fruit.
19 Chose chisamu chisa biki zihatu zilotu chikankwa ni kusohelwa mulilo.
Every tree which does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
20 ha kuva bulyo, mu mu bezibe cha zihatu zabo.
Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
21 Kana vantu vonse va sumpa kwa ngu kuti,” simwine, simwine,” va sejile mu chisi chewulu, kono konji yense utenda chiva saka va ndanda vena kwi wulu.
Not all who say to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
22 Vungi bwa vantu kava cho kwangu ilyo izuba, “simwine, simwine, kana tuva polofiti mwizina yako, mwizina tuva hidiki madimona, hape mwinzina lyako tubapangi imakazo zikando?
Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and perform many powerful deeds in your name?’
23 Linu kani va lwire halukanda, “kena niva mizi! muzwe kwangu, inwe vantu vavi!”
And then will I disclose to them: ‘I have never known you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.’
24 linu, yese uzuwa mazwi angu ni ku e chilila u swana sina muntu yozaka inzumbo yakwe he bwe.
Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and does them shall be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock.
25 Invula haisoka, muunda ukeza, ni huho likeza ziza kundama he nzubo, kono kaiwiri hasi, kakuti ibazakwa he bwe.
And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, but it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 Chi kwina bulyo yese uzuwa mazwi angu kono ka e chilili u swana sina mutu we chihole uzaka izubo yakwe he seke seke.
And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.
27 Invula ikeza hansi, muunda ukeza, ni luhuwo luhunga ni kundama izumbo, cwale iwa, ni kushinyeha tota.”
And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, and it did fall, and great was its ruin.”
28 Ha kuvakuti Jesu chamana kuwamba mazwi aa, vungi bwa vantu chiva komoka ituto ya kwe,
And it happened, when Jesus had completed these words, that the crowds were astonished at his doctrine.
29 cwale chaba luta sina wina mata, isinyi sina vanoli ba mulawo.
For he was teaching them as one who has authority, and not like their scribes and Pharisees.
