Matayu 7
1 “Namuwalunda wamonga, su namwiza na mwenga kulundwa na Mlungu.
Don't judge others, so that you won't be judged.
2 Mlungu hakawatozi mwenga ntambu yamuwatoza wamonga, na shipimu shiraa shilii shamuwapimira wamonga, Mlungu hakakupimirani mwenga.
For whatever standard you use to judge others will be used to judge you, and whatever measurement you use to measure others will be used to measure you.
3 Iwera hashi gushiwona shibandu mlisu mwa mlongu gwaku na palaa panu guwona ndiri shipingiri shashiwera mlisu lyaku?
Why do you see the speck that's in your brother's eye? Don't you notice the plank that's in your own eye?
4 Ama guweza hashi kumgambira mlongu gwaku, ‘Mlongu, guleki nukuwusiyi shibandu mlisu mwaku,’ na gumweni gwenga gwanashi shipingiri mlisu mwaku?
How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take out that speck from your eye’ when you have a plank in your own eye?
5 Gwamfyangu gwenga! Guwusii wuti shipingiri shashiwera mlisu mwaku, shakapanu haguwezi kushiwona weri na kushiwusiya shibandu shashiweriti mulisu lya mlongu gwaku.
You're being hypocritical! First get rid of the plank that's in your own eye. Then you'll be able to see clearly to take out the speck from your brother's eye.
6 “Namwapanani wang'ang'a vintu vinanagala, hawizi kuwagalambukira na kuwakwalambula. Namwawasangira wamtumbi lulu zyenu hawizi kuzitimbanga.
Don't give dogs what's holy. Don't throw your pearls to pigs. That way the pigs won't trample them underfoot, and the dogs won't turn and attack you.
7 “Mluwi na mwenga hampati, msakuli na mwenga hamwoni na mtendi hodi, namwenga hamvugulirwi.
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
8 Toziya, yoseri yakaluwa hakapati na yoseri yakasakula hakawoni na mlyangu guvugulwa kwa kila muntu yakatenda hodi.
Everyone who asks, receives; everyone who seeks, finds; and everyone who knocks has the door opened for them.
9 Hashi, kwana muntu yoseri mwana pakamluwa tati gwakuwi libumunda, hakampanani libuwi?
Would any of you give your son a stone if he asked for bread?
10 Ama pakamluwa somba, hakampanani njoka?
Or if he asked for fish, would you give him a snake?
11 Handa mwenga yamuwera wadoda, muvimana kuwapanana vintu viherepa wana wenu. Nakaka Tati gwenu gwa kumpindi hakatendi nentu, hakawapanani viheri kwa walii yawamluwa!
So if even you who are evil know to give good things to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.
12 “Muwatenderi wantu ntambu yamfira kutenderwa, aga ndo mafundu ga Malagaliru ga Musa na mafundu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu.
Treat others the way you want them to treat you. This sums up the law and the prophets.
13 “Mwingiri kwa kupitira mlyangu mbabanika, toziya mlyangu gwagulonguziya muwuharabisiya ndo mupana na njira yailonguziya kulaa aku ndo yalaisi na kwana wantu wavuwa yawaigendera njira ayi.
Enter by the narrow entrance. For the entrance is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many travel that way.
14 Kumbiti mlyangu gwa ukomu ndo mbabanika na njira ya kugendera aku ndo ikamala na kwana wantu wadidini yawayiwona njira ayi.
But the entrance is narrow, and the way is difficult that leads to life, and only a few find it.
15 “Mlikali weri na wambuyi wa mpayu, womberi wiza kwa mwenga pawawoneka gambira kondolu kwa kunja, kumbiti mngati nakaka walifana na wang'ang'a wakalipa wa muntundu.
Watch out for false prophets who come wearing sheep's clothing, but who on the inside are vicious wolves.
16 Hamuwamani womberi ntambu yawatenda. Mbigiri hapeni ileri mapera na miyembi hapeni ileri zyabibu.
You can recognize them by their fruits. Do people harvest grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?
17 Su, mtera guherepa gulera mabwajubwaju maherepa na mtera gudoda gulera mabwajubwaju gadoda.
So every good tree produces good fruit, while a bad tree produces bad fruit.
18 Mtera guherepa hapeni guleri mabwajubwaju gadoda, wala mtera gudoda hapeni guleri mabwajubwaju maherepa.
A good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can't produce good fruit.
19 Na mtera gwoseri yagulera ndiri mabwajubwaju maherepa hawagudumuli na kugupambira pamotu.
Every tree that doesn't produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.
20 Su hamuwamani wambuyi wa mpayu, ntambu yawatenda.”
So you'll recognize them by their fruits.
21 “Kila muntu ndiri yakanshema ‘Mtuwa, Mtuwa,’ hakingiri Muufalumi wa kumbindi, kumbiti woseri hera yawatenda ntambu yakafira Tati gwangu gwa kumpindi.
Not everyone who calls me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of heaven—only those who do the will of my Father in heaven.
22 Lishaka lya kutozwa palisoka, wantu wavuwa hawang'ambiri, ‘Mtuwa, Mtuwa! Kwa litawu lyaku tubweriti ujumbi wa Mlungu, kwa litawu lyaku tuwusiyiti washamshera wavuwa na kutenda mauzauza gavuwa!’
Many will say to me at the Day of Judgment, ‘Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name and drive out demons in your name, and perform many miracles in your name?’
23 Shakapanu hanuwagambiri womberi, ‘Nuwamana ndiri mwenga. Muwuki kwaneni, mwenga ndo wantu wamtenda vidoda!’
Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Leave me, you people who practice wickedness!’
24 “Su, kila muntu yakapikanira visoweru vyangu na kuvitenda, kalifana na muntu kana luhala yakanyawa numba yakuwi pampindi pa litalawu.
Everyone that hears the words I say, and follows them, is like a wise man who built his house on solid rock.
25 Viraa itowa, nshemba zimema ng'enang'ena na liyega livuma kwa makakala liikoma numba ilii. Kumbiti iguwa ndiri toziya inyawitwi pampindi pa litalawu.
The rain poured down, and the floods rose, and the winds blew hard against the house, but it didn't fall down, because its foundations were on solid rock.
26 “Kumbiti muntu yoseri yakapikanira visoweru vyangu avi pota na kuvijimira kalifana na muntu yakanyawa numba yakuwi pamuhanga.
Everyone that hears the words I say, and doesn't follow them, is like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27 Vula itowa, nshemba zimema ng'enang'ena, lyega livuma kwa makakala na liikoma numba ilii na iguwa. Na kuguwa kwakuwi kuweriti kukulu!”
The rain poured down, and the floods rose, and the winds blew hard against the house, and it fell down—it totally collapsed.”
28 Yesu pakamaliriti kutakula vitwatira avi, lipinga likulu lya wantu walikangashiti ntambu yakafunditi.
When Jesus finished explaining these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
29 Kaweriti ndiri gambira Mfunda gwa Malagaliru, kumbiti kafunditi kwa uwezu.
for he taught like someone with authority, and not like their religious teachers.
