Maatewos 7
1 “Akka isinitti hin muramneef namoota kaanitti hin murinaa.
Judge not, that you be not judged;
2 Murtiidhuma isin namatti murtaniin isinitti muramaatii; safartuu ittiin safartaniinis isiniif safarama.
for as you judge, you shall be judged; and the measure which you give, the same you shall receive.
3 “Ati maaliif jirma ija kee keessa jiru arguu dhiiftee huuba ija obboleessa keetii keessa jiru ilaalta?
And why do you observe the mote in your brother's eye, but you are insensible of the splinter in your own eye?
4 Ati utuu jirmi ija kee keessa jiruu akkamitti obboleessa keetiin, ‘Kottu mee ani huuba ija kee keessa jiru siif nan baasa’ jechuu dandeessa?
Or how dare you say to your brother, let me take the mote out of your eye; when lo! you have a splinter in your own?
5 Fakkeessituu nana; duraan dursiitii jirma ija kee keessa jiru baafadhu; ergasiis huuba ija obboleessa keetii keessa jiru baasuudhaaf sirriitti argita.
Hypocrite, first take the splinter out of your own eye; then you will see clearly to take the mote out of your brother's eye.
6 “Waan qulqulluu sarootaaf hin kenninaa; lula keessanis booyyee dura hin buusinaa. Yoo kana gootan isaan miilla isaaniitiin dhidhiitu; gara galanis isin cicciru.
Give not things holy to dogs, and cast not your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot, and turn upon you, and tear you apart.
7 “Kadhadhaa, isiniif ni kennamaa; barbaadaa, ni argattuu; rurrukutaa, balballi isiniif ni banamaa.
Ask, and you shall obtain; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
8 Namni kadhatu hundi ni argataatii; namni barbaadu ni argata; nama rurrukutuufis balballi ni banama.
For whosoever asks, obtains; whosoever seeks, finds; and to every one who knocks, the door shall be opened.
9 “Isin keessaa namni yoo ilmi isaa buddeena isa kadhate, dhagaa kennuuf eenyu?
Who of you men would give his son a stone, when he asks bread;
10 Yookaan yoo inni qurxummii isa kadhate, bofa kennuuf eenyu?
or a serpent, when he asks a fish?
11 Erga isin warri hamoon iyyuu kennaa gaarii ijoollee keessaniif kennuu beektanii, abbaan keessan inni samii irraa immoo hammam caalchisee warra isa kadhataniif kennaa gaarii haa kennuu ree!
If you then, though evil, can give good things to your children, how much more will your Father, who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?
12 Kanaafuu waan akka namoonni isiniif godhan barbaaddan hundumaa isinis akkasuma isaaniif godhaa; Seerris Raajonnis kanumaatii.
Whatever you would that others do to you, do you the same to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
13 “Karra dhiphaadhaan seenaa. Karaan badiisatti geessu balʼaadhaatii; karri isaas balʼaa dha; namoonni ittiin seenanis baayʼee dha.
Enter in through the strait gate; for wide is the gate of perdition, broad is its way leading thither; and many are they who enter by it.
14 Garuu karri isaa dhiphaa dha; karaan jireenyatti nama geessu qalʼaa dha; warri isa argatanis muraasa.
But how strait is the gate of life; how narrow the way leading thither; and how few are they who find it!
15 “Raajota sobaa warra kalʼee hoolaa uffatanii gara keessan dhufan, kanneen keessi isaanii garuu yeeyyii akka malee beelaʼee waa cicciratu taʼe irraa of eeggadhaa.
Beware of false teachers, who come to you in the garb of sheep, while inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
16 Isin ija isaaniitiin isaan beektu. Namoonni qoraattii irraa wayinii yookaan sokorruu irraa harbuu ni ciruu?
By their fruits you shall discover them. Are grapes gathered from thorns; or figs from thistles?
17 Akkasumas mukni gaariin hundumtuu ija gaarii naqata; mukni gadheen immoo ija gadhee naqata.
Every good tree yields good fruit, and every evil tree evil fruit.
18 Mukni gaariin ija gadhee naqachuu hin dandaʼu; mukni gadheenis ija gaarii naqachuu hin dandaʼu.
A good tree can not yield evil fruit, nor an evil tree good fruit.
19 Mukni ija gaarii hin naqanne hundi muramee ibiddatti naqama.
Every tree which yields not good fruit, is cut down, and turned into fuel.
20 Kanaaf isin ija isaaniitiin isaan beektu.
Wherefore, by their fruits you shall discover them.
21 “Nama fedhii Abbaa koo isa samii irraa raawwatu malee namni, ‘Yaa Gooftaa, yaa Gooftaa’ naan jedhu hundi mootummaa samiitti hin galu.
Not every one who says to me, Master, Master, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven.
22 Guyyaa sana namoonni hedduun, ‘Yaa Gooftaa, yaa Gooftaa, nu maqaa keetiin raajii dubbanneerra mitii? Maqaa keetiin hafuurota hamoo baafneerra mitii? Maqaa keetiin dinqii hedduu hojjenneerra mitii?’ naan jedhu.
Many will say to me on that day, Master, Master, have we not taught in thy name, and in thy name performed many miracles?
23 Ani immoo, ‘Narraa fagaadhaa! Isin warra hammina hojjettan, ani gonkumaa isin hin beekne’ jedhee ifaan ifatti isaanitti nan hima.
To whom I will declare, I never acknowledged you. Depart from me, you who practice iniquity.
24 “Kanaafuu namni dubbii koo kana dhagaʼee hojiidhaan argisiisu hundi, nama ogeessa mana isaa kattaa irratti ijaarrate fakkaata.
Therefore, whosoever hears these my precepts, and does them, I will compare to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock.
25 Bokkaan roobee, lolaan lolaʼee, bubbeenis bubbisee mana sana dhaʼe; manichi garuu waan kattaa irratti hundeeffameef hin jigne.
For although the rain descended, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, it fell not, because it was founded upon the rock.
26 Namni dubbii koo kana dhagaʼee hojiidhaan hin argisiifne hundi garuu nama gowwaa mana isaa cirracha irratti ijaarrate fakkaata.
But whosoever hears these my precepts, and does them not, shall be compared to a simpleton, who built his house upon the sand.
27 Bokkaan roobee, lolaan lolaʼee, bubbeenis bubbisee manicha dhaʼe; manni sunis ni jige; jiguun isaas akka malee hamaa ture.”
For when the rain descended, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and dashed against that house, it fell, and great was its ruin.
28 Yommuu Yesuus dubbii kana dubbatee raawwatetti namoonni barsiisa isaa ni dinqisiifatan;
When Jesus had ended this discourse, the people were struck with awe at his manner of teaching;
29 inni akka barsiistota seeraatti utuu hin taʼin, akka nama taayitaa qabu tokkootti isaan barsiisa tureetii.
for he taught as one who had authority, and not as the Scribes.
