Matayu 7
1 “Namuwalunda wamonga, su namwiza na mwenga kulundwa na Mlungu.
"Judge not, that you may be judged, yourselves;
2 Mlungu hakawatozi mwenga ntambu yamuwatoza wamonga, na shipimu shiraa shilii shamuwapimira wamonga, Mlungu hakakupimirani mwenga.
"for with what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and in what measure you measure, others will measure to you.
3 Iwera hashi gushiwona shibandu mlisu mwa mlongu gwaku na palaa panu guwona ndiri shipingiri shashiwera mlisu lyaku?
"And why do you look at the mote in your brother’s eye, and fail to notice the beam which is in your own eye?
4 Ama guweza hashi kumgambira mlongu gwaku, ‘Mlongu, guleki nukuwusiyi shibandu mlisu mwaku,’ na gumweni gwenga gwanashi shipingiri mlisu mwaku?
"Or how will you say to your brother, ‘Permit me to remove the mote from your eye,’ when, behold, the beam is 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.
"Hypocrite! First cast out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to cast the mote out of your brother’s eye.
6 “Namwapanani wang'ang'a vintu vinanagala, hawizi kuwagalambukira na kuwakwalambula. Namwawasangira wamtumbi lulu zyenu hawizi kuzitimbanga.
"Do not give what is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine; lest in turn they trample them under their feet, and then turn and attack you.
7 “Mluwi na mwenga hampati, msakuli na mwenga hamwoni na mtendi hodi, namwenga hamvugulirwi.
"Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
8 Toziya, yoseri yakaluwa hakapati na yoseri yakasakula hakawoni na mlyangu guvugulwa kwa kila muntu yakatenda hodi.
"For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door is opened.
9 Hashi, kwana muntu yoseri mwana pakamluwa tati gwakuwi libumunda, hakampanani libuwi?
"What man of you is there who, when his son asks a loaf, will give him a stone?
10 Ama pakamluwa somba, hakampanani njoka?
"or if his son asks for a fish, will offer 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!
"If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him?
12 “Muwatenderi wantu ntambu yamfira kutenderwa, aga ndo mafundu ga Malagaliru ga Musa na mafundu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu.
"Therefore everything that you would have men do to you, do you also the same to them; for this is 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 gate; for broad is the gate and wide the road that leads to destruction, and many are they who go in by it;
14 Kumbiti mlyangu gwa ukomu ndo mbabanika na njira ya kugendera aku ndo ikamala na kwana wantu wadidini yawayiwona njira ayi.
"but the gate is narrow and the road is steep, which leads to life, and they are few who 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.
"Beware of the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but within they are ravening wolves.
16 Hamuwamani womberi ntambu yawatenda. Mbigiri hapeni ileri mapera na miyembi hapeni ileri zyabibu.
"By their fruits you will know them. Are grapes gathered of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Su, mtera guherepa gulera mabwajubwaju maherepa na mtera gudoda gulera mabwajubwaju gadoda.
"No, every good tree bears good fruit, but a worthless tree bears bad fruit.
18 Mtera guherepa hapeni guleri mabwajubwaju gadoda, wala mtera gudoda hapeni guleri mabwajubwaju maherepa.
"A good tree cannot bear bad fruit; neither can a worthless tree bear good fruit.
19 Na mtera gwoseri yagulera ndiri mabwajubwaju maherepa hawagudumuli na kugupambira pamotu.
"Every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
20 Su hamuwamani wambuyi wa mpayu, ntambu yawatenda.”
"Hence it is by their fruit you will know them.
21 “Kila muntu ndiri yakanshema ‘Mtuwa, Mtuwa,’ hakingiri Muufalumi wa kumbindi, kumbiti woseri hera yawatenda ntambu yakafira Tati gwangu gwa kumpindi.
"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is 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 in that day will say to me, "‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your name done many mighty works?’
23 Shakapanu hanuwagambiri womberi, ‘Nuwamana ndiri mwenga. Muwuki kwaneni, mwenga ndo wantu wamtenda vidoda!’
"Then I will tell them plainly, "‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of iniquity.’
24 “Su, kila muntu yakapikanira visoweru vyangu na kuvitenda, kalifana na muntu kana luhala yakanyawa numba yakuwi pampindi pa litalawu.
"Every one who hears my words and does them I will liken to a wise man who built his house upon the 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.
"And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon the house, but it fell not, for it was founded upon the rock.
26 “Kumbiti muntu yoseri yakapikanira visoweru vyangu avi pota na kuvijimira kalifana na muntu yakanyawa numba yakuwi pamuhanga.
"And every one who hears these words of mine and does them not, I will liken to a foolish man, who built his house upon 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!”
"And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."
28 Yesu pakamaliriti kutakula vitwatira avi, lipinga likulu lya wantu walikangashiti ntambu yakafunditi.
Now when Jesus had finished his discourse, the crowds were astounded at his teaching,
29 Kaweriti ndiri gambira Mfunda gwa Malagaliru, kumbiti kafunditi kwa uwezu.
for he was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes taught them.
