UMathewu 7
1 Lingehluleli, ukuze lingehlulelwa,
“Mummmu ntɛn, na afoforo ammu mo ntɛn.
2 ngoba lizakwahlulelwa ngokwehlulela elehlulela ngakho; langesilinganiso elilinganisa ngaso, lizalinganiselwa ngaso lani.
Nea mode yɛ afoforo no, ɛno ara na wɔde bɛyɛ mo.
3 Kanti ukhangelelani ucezwana oluselihlweni lomfowenu, kodwa ungalunanzeleli ugodo olukwelakho ilihlo?
“Adɛn na woma dua ntɛtɛ a ɛda wo nua ani so no haw wo, bere a mpuran a ɛda wo de so no mfa wo ho?
4 Kumbe ungatsho njani kumfowenu ukuthi: Kahle ngikhuphe ucezwana oluselihlweni lakho; khangela kanti ugodo luselihlweni lakho?
Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na woatumi aka akyerɛ wo nua se, ‘Ma minyi ntɛtɛ a ɛda wʼani so no mma wo,’ bere a mpuran da wʼani so daa.
5 Mzenzisi, qala ukhuphe ugodo elihlweni lakho, khona-ke uzabona kuhle ukukhupha ucezwana elihlweni lomfowenu.
Nyaatwomni! Di kan yi mpuran a ɛda wʼankasa ani so no ansa na woatumi ahu ntɛtɛ a ɛda wo nua ani so no yiye na woayi ama no.
6 Linganiki izinja okungcwele; lingaphoseli amapharele enu phambi kwezingulube, hlezi ziwanyathele ngenyawo zazo, besezitshibilika ziliklebhule.
“Mommfa nea ɛho tew mma akraman. Saa ara nso na monntow mo nhene pa ngu mprako anim! Wobetiatia so, na wɔadan wɔn ho atow ahyɛ mo so.
7 Celani, lizaphiwa; dingani, lizathola; qoqodani, lizavulelwa.
“Mummisa, na wɔbɛma mo; monhwehwɛ, na mubehu; mompem, na wobebue mo.
8 Ngoba wonke ocelayo uyemukela, lodingayo uyathola, loqoqodayo uzavulelwa.
Na obiara a obisa no, onya. Obiara a ɔhwehwɛ no, ohu; na nea ɔpem no, wobue no.
9 Kumbe nguwuphi kini ongathi, nxa indodana yakhe icela isinkwa, ayinike ilitshe?
“Na hena na ne ba bisa no brodo a ɔbɛma no ɔbo?
10 Uba-ke icela inhlanzi, ayinike inyoka yini?
Anaasɛ obisa no nsumnam a ɔbɛma no ɔwɔ? Ɛremma saa da!
11 Ngakho uba lina, elingababi, likwazi ukupha abantwana benu izipho ezinhle, uYihlo osemazulwini uzabapha kakhulu kangakanani izinto ezinhle abacela kuye?
Na sɛ mo a moyɛ abɔnefo mpo nim sɛnea moma mo mma nnepa a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no mfa nnepa mma ne mma wɔn a wobisa no no?
12 Ngakho konke elithanda ukuthi abantu bakwenze kini, kwenzeni lani ngokunjalo kubo; ngoba lokhu kungumlayo labaprofethi.
Enti sɛnea mmara no ne adiyifo no ka no, ade biara a mopɛ sɛ nnipa nyɛ mma mo no, mo nso monyɛ mma wɔn saa ara.
13 Ngenani ngesango elincinyane; ngoba isango likhulu, lendlela ibanzi eya ekubhujisweni, njalo banengi abangena ngalo;
“Ɔkwan teateaa no nko ara so na wubetumi afa akɔ ɔsoro! Ɔkwan a ɛkɔ ɔbonsam kurom no trɛw, na nʼapon nso mu bae ma nnipadɔm a wɔfa so kɔ ɔsɛe mu.
14 ngoba isango lincinyane, lendlela ilukhonjwana eya empilweni, njalo balutshwana abayitholayo.
Ɔpon a wowura mu de kɔ nkwa mu no yɛ hiahiaa na ɔkwan a wɔfa so no nso yɛ teateaa, na nnipa kakraa bi na wohu fa so.
15 Kodwa nanzelelani abaprofethi bamanga, abeza kini bembathise okwezimvu, kodwa ngaphakathi bazimpisi eziphangayo.
“Monhwɛ mo ho yiye wɔ atoro akyerɛkyerɛfo a wɔba mo nkyɛn ahobrɛase mu sɛ nguan, nanso wɔyɛ mpataku a wonya mo a, wɔbɛtetew mo pasaa no ho.
16 Lizabazi ngezithelo zabo; bayazikha yini izithelo zevini emeveni, kumbe imikhiwa ekhuleni oluhlabayo?
Wɔn nneyɛe na mode behu wɔn, sɛnea mutumi de dua bi aba hu dua ko a ɛyɛ no. Worentumi ntew bobe wɔ nsɔe so; saa ara nso na worentumi ntew borɔdɔma wɔ nnɛnkyɛnse so.
17 Ngokunjalo sonke isihlahla esihle siyathela izithelo ezinhle; kodwa isihlahla esibi siyathela izithelo ezimbi;
Dua a ɛwɔ nnyinaso pa no tumi sow aba pa; na dua a enni nnyinaso pa no nso sow aba bɔne.
18 isihlahla esihle singethele izithelo ezimbi, lesihlahla esibi singethele izithelo ezinhle.
Dua pa ntumi nsow aba bɔne; saa ara nso na dua bɔne ntumi nsow aba pa.
19 Sonke isihlahla esingatheli isithelo esihle siyaganyulwa siphoselwe emlilweni.
Dua biara a ɛnsow aba pa no, wotwa de gu gya mu hyew no.
20 Ngakho-ke lizabazi ngezithelo zabo.
Onipa nneyɛe na ɛma wohu ne suban.
21 Kakusibo bonke abatshoyo kimi ukuthi: Nkosi, Nkosi, abazangena embusweni wamazulu; kodwa lowo oyenzayo intando kaBaba osemazulwini.
“Ɛnyɛ obiara a ɔbɔ me din ‘Awurade, Awurade’ no na ɔbɛkɔ ɔsoro ahemman mu.
22 Abanengi bazakuthi kimi ngalolosuku: Nkosi, Nkosi, kasiprofethanga yini ngelakho ibizo, sakhupha amadimoni ngelakho ibizo, senza imisebenzi elamandla eminengi ngelakho ibizo?
Atemmu da no, nnipa pii bɛka akyerɛ me se, ‘Awurade, yɛkaa wo ho asɛm kyerɛɛ afoforo. Yɛnam wo din nso so tuu ahonhommɔne, san yɛɛ anwonwade, ahorow.’
23 Njalo khona ngizakutsho obala kubo ukuthi: Angizanga ngilazi; sukani kimi lina benzi bobubi.
Na mabua wɔn se, ‘Minnim mo da. Mumfi me so nkɔ, nnebɔneyɛfo!’
24 Ngakho wonke owezwayo la amazwi ami njalo awenze, ngizamfananisa lendoda ehlakaniphileyo, eyakha indlu yayo phezu kwedwala;
“Wɔn a wotie nea meka, na wodi so no te sɛ onyansafo a osi ne dan si ɔbotan so.
25 laselisina izulu, kwasekufika impophoma, kwasekuvunguza imimoya, yayitshaya leyondlu; kodwa kayiwanga; ngoba yayisekelwe phezu kwedwala.
Osu tɔe, na osuframa bɔe, na nsu yirii, na emu biara kaa ɔdan no nanso ammu da, efisɛ wosi sii ɔbotan so.
26 Njalo wonke owezwayo la amazwi ami njalo angawenzi, uzafananiswa lendoda eyisithutha, eyakha indlu yayo phezu kwetshebetshebe;
Nanso wɔn a wotie nea meka na wonni so no te sɛ ɔkwasea bi a osii ne dan sii nwea so.
27 laselisina izulu, kwasekufika impophoma, kwasekuvunguza imimoya yayitshaya leyondlu; yawa; kwaba kukhulu ukuwa kwayo.
Osu tɔe, na osuframa bɔe, na nsu yirii, na emu biara kaa ɔdan no. Na edwiriw guu fam, bubuu pasaa.”
28 Kwasekusithi uJesu eseqedile lawomazwi, amaxuku ababaza ngemfundiso yakhe;
Yesu asɛnka no maa nnipadɔm a wotiee no no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn,
29 ngoba wabafundisa njengolamandla, njalo kungenjengababhali.
efisɛ ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ te sɛ obi a okura tumi, na ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no nte sɛ nea Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no kyerɛ no.
