Matayo 7
1 Bosambisaka te mpo ete, bino mpe, basambisa bino te.
“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.
2 Pamba te bakosambisa bino ndenge kaka bino bosambisaka baninga, mpe bakomeka bino na emekelo kaka oyo bino bosalelaka mpo na komeka bato mosusu.
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 Mpo na nini ozali kotala mwa lititi oyo ezali kati na liso ya ndeko na yo, wana ozali komona te nzete oyo ezali kati na liso na yo moko?
And how can you see the splinter in your brother’s eye, and not see the board in your own eye?
4 Ndenge nini okoki koloba na ndeko na yo: ‹ Ndeko na ngai, tika ete nalongola yo mwa lititi oyo ezali kati na liso, › wana ozali na nzete kati na liso na yo?
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 Bolole! Banda nanu kolongola nzete oyo ezali kati na liso na yo, bongo miso na yo ekomona malamu mpo ete okoka kolongola mwa lititi oyo ezali kati na liso ya ndeko na yo.
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 Bopesa te biloko ya bule epai ya bambwa, noki te ekozongela bino mpo na koswa bino; bobwaka te bapawuni na bino ya talo epai ya bangulu, noki te ekonyata-nyata yango.
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 Bosenga, mpe bakopesa bino; boluka, mpe bokomona; bobeta ekuke, mpe bakofungolela bino;
Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
8 pamba te moto nyonso oyo asengaka azwaka, moto oyo alukaka amonaka; mpe moto oyo abetaka ekuke, bafungolelaka ye yango.
For everyone who asks, receives; and whoever seeks, finds; and to anyone who knocks, it will be opened.
9 Nani kati na bino apesaka na mwana na ye libanga, soki asengi ye lipa?
Or what man is there among you, who, if his son were to ask him for bread, would offer him a stone;
10 To nani apesaka na mwana na ye nyoka soki asengi mbisi?
or if he were to ask him for a fish, would offer him a snake?
11 Soki bino bato oyo bozali kutu mabe boyebi kopesa na bana na bino biloko ya malamu, ndenge nini Tata na bino oyo azali na Likolo apesa te biloko ya kitoko epai ya bato oyo basengaka Ye yango?
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 Nyonso oyo bolingaka ete bato mosusu basalela bino, bino mpe bosalaka yango mpo na bango; pamba te yango nde mateya nyonso ya Mobeko mpe ya basakoli.
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 Bokotela na ekuke ya moke; pamba te ekuke mpe nzela oyo ememaka na libebi ezali monene, mpe bato ebele bakotelaka wana.
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 Kasi ekuke to nzela oyo ememaka na bomoi ezali moke, mpe bato moke kaka nde bamonaka yango.
How narrow is the gate, and how straight is the way, which leads to life, and few there are who find it!
15 Bosala keba na basakoli ya lokuta! Tango bayaka epai na bino, bazwaka lolenge ya bameme, kasi bazali penza bambwa ya zamba oyo etonda na kanda.
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16 Bokoyeba bango na nzela ya misala na bango. Boni, bokoki kolongola bambuma ya vino na nzete ya basende to kobuka bambuma ya figi na nzete ya banzube?
You shall know them by their fruits. Can grapes be gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Nzete nyonso ya malamu ebotaka mpe bambuma ya malamu, kasi nzete ya mabe ebotaka mpe bambuma ya mabe.
So then, every good tree produces good fruit, and the evil tree produces evil fruit.
18 Nzete ya malamu ebotaka te bambuma ya mabe, mpe nzete ya mabe ebotaka te bambuma ya malamu.
A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, and an evil tree is not able to produce good fruit.
19 Nzete nyonso oyo ebotaka te bambuma ya malamu, bapikolaka yango mpe babwakaka yango na moto.
Every tree which does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
20 Boye, bokoyeba basakoli ya lokuta na nzela ya misala na bango.
Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
21 Bato nyonso oyo balobaka na Ngai: ‹ Nkolo! Nkolo! › bakokota te na Bokonzi ya Likolo, kaka bato oyo basalaka mokano ya Tata na Ngai, oyo azali kati na Likolo.
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 Na mokolo ya kosambisama, bato ebele bakoloba na Ngai: ‹ Nkolo! Nkolo! Ezali te na Kombo na Yo nde tosakolaki, tobenganaki milimo mabe mpe tosalaki bikamwa ebele? ›
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 Bongo Ngai, nakoyebisa bango: ‹ Natikala koyeba bino te! Bolongwa liboso na Ngai, bino bato mabe! ›
And then will I disclose to them: ‘I have never known you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.’
24 Yango wana, moto nyonso oyo ayoki makambo oyo nawuti koloba mpe atie yango na misala akokani na moto ya mayele oyo atongaki ndako na ye na likolo ya libanga.
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 Tango mvula ebetaki makasi, mayi mpe mopepe eyaki makasi, emibwakaki na ndako yango; kasi atako bongo, ndako ekweyaki te, pamba te miboko na yango etongamaki na likolo ya libanga.
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 Nzokande, moto nyonso oyo ayoki makambo oyo nawuti koloba, kasi atie yango te na misala, akokani na zoba oyo atongaki ndako na ye na likolo ya zelo:
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 tango mvula ebetaki makasi, mayi eyaki elongo na mopepe makasi, emibwakaki na ndako yango; ndako yango ekweyaki, mpe nyonso epanzanaki. »
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 Tango Yesu asilisaki koloba maloba oyo, bato nyonso bakamwaki makasi malakisi na Ye,
And it happened, when Jesus had completed these words, that the crowds were astonished at his doctrine.
29 pamba te ateyaki bango na bokonzi oyo balakisi na bango ya Mobeko bazangaki.
For he was teaching them as one who has authority, and not like their scribes and Pharisees.
