Mateu 7
1 Sanzi uatuli, ni we kete u atulwe.
Criticise not, that you may not be criticised.
2 Mo atwira nawe mwete utwirwe, Mi mulikaniso wo likanisa, ni wee mukulikaniswe.
For with what criticism you criticise, you will be criticised: and with what measure you measure, it will be measured unto you.
3 Chinzi holola chitoweze muliso lyo mukwenu, kono ko lemuhi chikutoweze muliso ya ko?
But why do you see the mote which is in the eye of your brother, and do not recognize the beam which is 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 will you say to your brother, Permit me, I will cast out the mote from your eye; and behold, there is a beam in your own eye?
5 Iwe ulihele! tange u zwise chikutoweze muliso lyako, linu mobone site ni ku wola kuzwisa chitoweze mukwako muliso.
O hypocrite, first cast out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote from the eye of your brother.
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.
Give not that which is holy to the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest they may trample them under their feet, and having turned round tear you to pieces.
7 Kubile, ko hewe. Sake, mo wane. Ngongote, mo wi lyalulwe
Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
8 Mi yese ukubila u hewa, mi yese usaka, uwana. Mi mutu u ngongota, we wulilwa.
For every one asking receives; and the one seeking finds; and to the one knocking it shall be opened.
9 Kapa kwina mutu mukati kenu, kuti mwana nkwe ha mukubila inkoko, linu umu ha ibwe?
What man is there of you, whom, if his son shall ask bread, he will give him a stone?
10 kapa ha kubila inswi, amu muhe inzoka?
And if he may ask a fish, whether will he give him a serpent?
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, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that 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 you may wish that the people may do unto you, do ye even so unto 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 ye in through the narrow gate: because wide is the gate and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there are, who are going in through it.
14 Mulyango muñuñu ni nzila iñuñu zitwala kubu halo, mi bache baiwana.
Because narrow is the gate, and contracted the way, that leadeth into 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.
But beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are rapacious 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. Do the people gather the grape-bunches 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 every good tree produces good fruits; and a corrupt tree produces evil fruits.
18 Chisamu chilotu kachi woli kuha zihatu zivi, ni chisamu chivi kachiwoli kuha zihatu zilotu.
A good tree is not able to produce evil fruits, neither is a corrupt tree able to produce beautiful fruits.
19 Chose chisamu chisa biki zihatu zilotu chikankwa ni kusohelwa mulilo.
Every tree not producing beautiful fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
20 ha kuva bulyo, mu mu bezibe cha zihatu zabo.
Therefore you shall know them perfectly by their fruits.
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 every one saying to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
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, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name cast out demons, and in thy name done many mighty works?
23 Linu kani va lwire halukanda, “kena niva mizi! muzwe kwangu, inwe vantu vavi!”
Then I will confess unto them that I never knew you: depart from me, ye who work iniquity.
24 linu, yese uzuwa mazwi angu ni ku e chilila u swana sina muntu yozaka inzumbo yakwe he bwe.
Then every one who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto 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 rain came down, and the rivers came, and the winds blew, and fell against that house; and it did not fall; for it was founded upon 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 every one hearing these words of mine, and doing them not, shall be likened unto 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 rain came down, and the rivers came, and the winds blew, and beat against that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 Ha kuvakuti Jesu chamana kuwamba mazwi aa, vungi bwa vantu chiva komoka ituto ya kwe,
And it came to pass when Jesus finished these discourses, the multitudes were astonished at His teaching:
29 cwale chaba luta sina wina mata, isinyi sina vanoli ba mulawo.
for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
