Matayu 7
1 “Namuwalunda wamonga, su namwiza na mwenga kulundwa na Mlungu.
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 Mlungu hakawatozi mwenga ntambu yamuwatoza wamonga, na shipimu shiraa shilii shamuwapimira wamonga, Mlungu hakakupimirani mwenga.
For with the judgment that ye judge, ye shall be judged; and by the measure that ye measure, shall it be measured to you.
3 Iwera hashi gushiwona shibandu mlisu mwa mlongu gwaku na palaa panu guwona ndiri shipingiri shashiwera mlisu lyaku?
And why observest thou the straw in thy brother's eye, and regardest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Ama guweza hashi kumgambira mlongu gwaku, ‘Mlongu, guleki nukuwusiyi shibandu mlisu mwaku,’ na gumweni gwenga gwanashi shipingiri mlisu mwaku?
Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Allow me to pluck the straw from thy eye; and lo! a beam is in thy own eye.
5 Gwamfyangu gwenga! Guwusii wuti shipingiri shashiwera mlisu mwaku, shakapanu haguwezi kushiwona weri na kushiwusiya shibandu shashiweriti mulisu lya mlongu gwaku.
Thou hypocrite; pluck first the beam from thy own eye; and then thou wilt see clearly, to pluck the straw out of thy brother's eye.
6 “Namwapanani wang'ang'a vintu vinanagala, hawizi kuwagalambukira na kuwakwalambula. Namwawasangira wamtumbi lulu zyenu hawizi kuzitimbanga.
Give not a holy thing to dogs: and cast not your pearls before swine; lest they tread them under their feet, and turn and lacerate you.
7 “Mluwi na mwenga hampati, msakuli na mwenga hamwoni na mtendi hodi, namwenga hamvugulirwi.
Ask, and it shall be given to you: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.
8 Toziya, yoseri yakaluwa hakapati na yoseri yakasakula hakawoni na mlyangu guvugulwa kwa kila muntu yakatenda hodi.
For, every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
9 Hashi, kwana muntu yoseri mwana pakamluwa tati gwakuwi libumunda, hakampanani libuwi?
For what man is there among you, of whom if his son ask bread, will he reach him a stone?
10 Ama pakamluwa somba, hakampanani njoka?
Or if he ask of him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?
11 Handa mwenga yamuwera wadoda, muvimana kuwapanana vintu viherepa wana wenu. Nakaka Tati gwenu gwa kumpindi hakatendi nentu, hakawapanani viheri kwa walii yawamluwa!
If ye then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12 “Muwatenderi wantu ntambu yamfira kutenderwa, aga ndo mafundu ga Malagaliru ga Musa na mafundu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu.
Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you; so also do ye 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 ye in by the strait gate; for wide is the gate and broad the way which leadeth to destruction; and many are they that walk in it.
14 Kumbiti mlyangu gwa ukomu ndo mbabanika na njira ya kugendera aku ndo ikamala na kwana wantu wadidini yawayiwona njira ayi.
How small the gate and straitened the way that leadeth to life, and few they 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 false prophets; who come to you in the garb of sheep, but internally they are rapacious wolves.
16 Hamuwamani womberi ntambu yawatenda. Mbigiri hapeni ileri mapera na miyembi hapeni ileri zyabibu.
And from their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather 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 beareth good fruits; but a bad tree beareth bad fruits.
18 Mtera guherepa hapeni guleri mabwajubwaju gadoda, wala mtera gudoda hapeni guleri mabwajubwaju maherepa.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruits; nor can a bad tree bear good fruits.
19 Na mtera gwoseri yagulera ndiri mabwajubwaju maherepa hawagudumuli na kugupambira pamotu.
Every tree that beareth not good fruits, is cut down and consigned to the fire.
20 Su hamuwamani wambuyi wa mpayu, ntambu yawatenda.”
Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 “Kila muntu ndiri yakanshema ‘Mtuwa, Mtuwa,’ hakingiri Muufalumi wa kumbindi, kumbiti woseri hera yawatenda ntambu yakafira Tati gwangu gwa kumpindi.
Not whoever may say to me, My Lord, my Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doeth 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 will say to me in that day, My Lord, my Lord, have-we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name wrought many works of power?
23 Shakapanu hanuwagambiri womberi, ‘Nuwamana ndiri mwenga. Muwuki kwaneni, mwenga ndo wantu wamtenda vidoda!’
And then will I declare to them; I never knew you. Depart from me, ye doers of evil.
24 “Su, kila muntu yakapikanira visoweru vyangu na kuvitenda, kalifana na muntu kana luhala yakanyawa numba yakuwi pampindi pa litalawu.
Every one therefore that heareth these my discourses, and doeth them, will be like to a wise man, one that built his house upon a 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 they rushed upon that house; and it fell not, for its foundations were laid upon a rock.
26 “Kumbiti muntu yoseri yakapikanira visoweru vyangu avi pota na kuvijimira kalifana na muntu yakanyawa numba yakuwi pamuhanga.
And every one that heareth these my discourses, and doeth them not, will be like a foolish man that built his house upon 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 they rushed upon that house, and it fell; and great was the ruin of it.
28 Yesu pakamaliriti kutakula vitwatira avi, lipinga likulu lya wantu walikangashiti ntambu yakafunditi.
And so it was, that when Jesus had ended these discourses, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:
29 Kaweriti ndiri gambira Mfunda gwa Malagaliru, kumbiti kafunditi kwa uwezu.
for he taught them as one having authority; and not as their Scribes and Pharisees.
