Matayo 7
1 “Temusalanga musango, nammwe muleme okusalirwa omusango.
“Do not judge, so that you will not be judged.
2 Kubanga nga bwe musalira abalala nammwe bwe mujjanga okusalirwa. Ekigera kye mugereramu, nammwe kye muligererwamu.”
For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
3 “Ofaayo ki ku kasasiro akali ku liiso lya muganda wo so nga ku liryo kuliko kisiki kiramba?
Why do yoʋ see the speck in yoʋr brother's eye, but do not consider the beam in yoʋr own eye?
4 Oyinza otya okugamba muganda wo nti, ‘Leka nkuggyeko akasasiro akakuli ku liiso,’ so nga ku liryo kuliko kisiki?
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 Munnanfuusi ggwe! Sooka oggyeko ekisiki ekiri ku liiso lyo olyoke olabe bulungi nga bw’oggyako akasasiro akali ku liiso lya muganda wo.”
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 “Temuddiranga bintu bitukuvu ne mubiwa embwa. N’embizzi temuzisuuliranga mayinja ag’omuwendo omungi, kubanga zigenda kugalinnyirira, n’oluvannyuma zikyuke zibalume.”
“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 “Musabe, munaaweebwa. Munoonye, munaazuula. Era mukonkone munaggulirwawo.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
8 Kubanga buli asaba aweebwa, n’oyo anoonya, azuula, n’oyo akonkona aggulirwawo.”
For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and for him who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 “Oba muntu ki mu mmwe singa omwana we amusaba omugaati, ayinza okumuwa ejjinja?
Or what man is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone;
10 Oba singa asabye ekyennyanja, kitaawe ayinza okumuwa omusota?
and if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?
11 Obanga mmwe abantu ababi musobola okuwa abaana bammwe ebirabo ebirungi, Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisingawo okubawa ebirungi bye mumusaba?
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 Noolwekyo ebintu byonna bye mwagala abantu okubakoleranga, nammwe mubibakoleranga, kubanga ebyo bye biri mu mateeka ne mu bunnabbi.”
“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 “Muyingirire mu mulyango omufunda! Kubanga ekkubo erigenda mu kuzikirira ddene n’omulyango mugazi, n’abalonda ekkubo eryo bangi.
“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 Kubanga omulyango mufunda, n’ekkubo eridda eri obulamu ffunda, era n’abaliraba batono.”
How narrow is the gate, and restricted the way that leads to life, and there are few who find it!
15 “Mwekuume abayigiriza ab’obulimba, abajja nga bambadde amaliba g’endiga, songa munda gy’emisege egigenda okubataagulataagula.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16 Mulibalabira ku bikolwa byabwe, ng’omuti bwe mugutegeerera ku bibala byagwo. Omuntu tayinza kunoga mizabbibu ku busaana oba okunoga ettiini ku mweramannyo.
By their fruits you will know them. Do people gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Noolwekyo buli muti omulungi gubala ebibala ebirungi, naye omuti omuvundu gubala ebibala ebibi.
In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.
18 Omuti omulungi teguyinza kubala bibala bibi, n’omuti omuvundu teguyinza kubala bibala birungi.
A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, neither can a bad tree produce good fruit.
19 Omuti gwonna ogutabala bibala birungi gutemebwa ne gusuulibwa mu muliro.
Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Noolwekyo mulibategeerera ku bibala byabwe.”
Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
21 “Si bonna abampita nti, ‘Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe,’ be baliyingira obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, wabula abo bokka abakola ebyo Kitange ali mu ggulu by’ayagala.
“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 Ku lunaku Iuli bangi baliŋŋamba nti, ‘Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe, twayogeranga eby’obunnabbi mu linnya lyo, era ne tugoba ne baddayimooni mu linnya lyo, ne tukola n’ebyamagero bingi mu linnya lyo.’
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 Ndibaddamu nti, ‘Sibamanyi, muve mu maaso gange, kubanga ebikolwa byammwe byali bibi.’”
Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.’
24 “Noolwekyo buli awulira ebigambo byange, n’abikola, alifaananyizibwa ng’omusajja ow’amagezi eyazimba enju ye ku lwazi.
“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 Enkuba n’etonnya, emigga ne gikulukuta, omuyaga ne gujja, ne bikuba enju eyo naye n’etegwa kubanga yazimbibwa ku lwazi.
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 Naye buli awulira ebigambo byange n’atabikola, alifaananyizibwa ng’omusajja omusirusiru eyazimba ennyumba ye mu musenyu.
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 Enkuba n’etonnya, emigga ne gikulukuta, omuyaga ne gujja, ne bikuba ennyumba eyo, n’egwa, n’okugwa kwayo ne kuba kunene.”
The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was its fall.”
28 Awo Yesu n’amaliriza ebigambo bye ebyo. Abantu bonna ne beewuunya nnyo olw’okuyigiriza kwe.
When Jesus finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
29 Kubanga yabayigiriza nga nannyini buyinza, so si ng’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka baabwe bwe baayigirizanga.
because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
