Mathaio 7
1 “Se sekiseng mme ga lo na go sekisiwa!
Judge not, that ye be not judged; —
2 Gonne ba bangwe le bone ba tlaa lo tsaya fela jaaka lo ba tsaya.
For, with what judgment ye judge, shall ye be judged, —and, with what measure ye mete, shall it be measured unto you.
3 “Mme o tshwenyegelang kaga selabe se se mo leitlhong la mongwe ka wena fa o na le sehidikwe mo go la gago?
Why, moreover, beholdest thou the mote, in the eye of thy brother, —while, the beam in thine own eye, thou dost not consider?
4 A o tlaa re, ‘Tsala, mma ke go thuse ke ntshe selabe seo mo leitlhong la gago; fa tota o sa bone ka ntlha ya sehidikwe se se mo go la gago’
Or how wilt thou say unto thy brother, Let me cast the mote out of thine eye, —when lo! a beam, is in thine own eye?
5 Moitimokanyi! Pele ntsha sehidikwe se se mo leitlhong la gago. Ke gone o ka bonang go thusa mongwe ka wena.
Hypocrite! cast first, out of thine own eye, the beam, —and, then, shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote, out of the eye of thy brother.
6 “Se neeleng dikolobe dilo tsa lona tsa botlhokwa (diperela)! Di tlaa di gataka di be di retologela kwa go lona di lo tlhasela.
Do not give what is holy unto dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, —lest once they trample, them, down with their feet, and, turning, tear, you.
7 “Kopang, mme lo tlaa newa se lo se kopang. Batlang, mme lo tlaa bona. Kokonyang, mme lo tlaa bulelwa.
Be asking, and it shall be given you, Be seeking, and ye shall find, —Be knocking, and it shall be opened unto you.
8 “Gonne mongwe le mongwe yo o kopang, o a amogela. Le fa e le mang yo o batlang, o a bona; fela fa o kokonya, o tlaa bulelwa.
For, whosoever asketh, receiveth, and, he that seeketh, findeth, —and, to him that knocketh, shall it be opened.
9 Fa ngwana a kopa rraagwe dijo, a o tlaa neelwa lentswe mo boemong jwa tsone?
Or what man, from among yourselves, whom his son shall ask for a loaf, —a stone, will give him?
10 Fa a kopa tlhapi, a o tlaa neelwa noga e e nang le botlhole? Nnyaa!
Or, a fish also, shall ask, —a serpent, will give him?
11 Mme fa lona ba ba dipelo di thata, badira-dibe lo itse go fa bana ba lona dimpho tse di siameng, a Rraa-lona yo o kwa legodimong ga a na go naya ba ba mo kopang dimpho tse di siameng fela jalo?
If then, ye, being, evil, know how, good gifts, to be giving unto your children, how much more, will, your Father who is in the heavens, give good things to them that ask, him?
12 “Direlang ba bangwe se lo batlang ba se lo direla. Se ke thuto ya melao ya ga Moshe ka mafoko a makhutshwane.
Whatsoever things, therefore, ye would, that men be doing unto you, so, be, ye also, doing, unto them, —for, this, is the law and the prophets.
13 “Legodimo le ka tsenwa fela ka kgoro e tshesane. Tsela e kgolo e e yang kwa moleting e atlhame, kgoro ya one e atlhametse bontsintsi jo bo tlhophang tsela ya one e e motlhofo.
Enter ye in at, the narrow gate; because broad and roomy is the way that leadeth unto destruction, —and, many, are they who enter thereby:
14 Mme boatlhamo jwa kgoro e e isang botshelong bo bonnye, le tsela e tshesane, mme basekae fela ba a e bona.
Because, narrow, is the gate, and, confined, the way, that leadeth unto life, —and, few, are they who find, it.
15 “Itiseng mo baruting ba e seng bone ba ba tlang ba apere jaaka dinku tse di senang molato, mme e le diphiri tse di lo gagoganyang.
Beware of false prophets, who come unto you in clothing of sheep, —while, within, they are ravening wolves.
16 Lo ka ba lemoga ka tsela e ba dirang ka yone, fela jaaka lo ka lemoga setlhare ka loungo lwa sone ga lo kake lwa tshwantshanya mofine le ditlhare tse di mitlwa! Kgotsa difeige le masitlwana!
By their fruits, shall ye find, them, out, —unless perhaps men gather—from thorns, grapes! or, from thistles, figs!
17 Mefuta ya ditlhare tsa loungo e ka lemogwa ka bofefo ka go tlhatlhoba loungo lwa tsone.
So, every good tree, fine fruit, produceth, —whereas, the worthless tree, evil fruit, produceth:
18 Mofuta o o ungwang loungo lo lo monate ga o ke o ungwa mofuta o o sa jeweng!
It is, impossible, for a, good tree, to be bearing, evil fruit, neither doth, a worthless tree, produce, fine fruit.
19 Jalo he ditlhare tse di nang le loungo lo lo sa jeweng di a rengwa di bo di latlhelwa mo molelong.
Every tree that beareth not fine fruit, is hewn down, and, into fire, is cast.
20 Ee, tsela ya go lemoga setlhare kgotsa motho ke ka mofuta wa loungo lo o lo ungwang.
After all then, by their fruits, shall ye find, them, out.
21 “Ga se botlhe ba ba buang boModimo ba ba ntseng jalo. Ba ka mpitsa ‘Morena’ mme ga ba kitla ba ya legodimong. Gonne potso ya botlhokwa ke gore a ba reetsa Rre yo o kwa legodimong.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord! Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, —but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
22 “Ka letsatsi la katlholo ba le bantsi ba tlaa nthaya ba re, Morena Morena, re boleletse ba bangwe ka ga gago ra ba ra dirisa leina la gago go lelekela badimo ntle le go dira dikgakgamatso tse dingwe tse dintsi.
Many, will say unto me, in, that, day, Lord! Lord! did we not, in thy name, prophesy, and, in thy name, cast, demons, out, —and, in thy name, many works of power, perform?
23 Mme ke tlaa fetola ke re, ‘Ga lo ise lo ke lo bo lo nne ba me. Tsamayang, gonne ditiro tsa lona di bosula’,
And, then, will I confess unto them, Never, have I acknowledged you, —Depart from me, ye workers of lawlessness!
24 “Botlhe ba ba reetsang ditaelo tsa me ba di sala morago, ba botlhale, jaaka monna yo o agang ntlo ya gagwe mo lefikeng le le kwenneng.
Every one, therefore, who heareth [these] my words, and doeth them, shall be likened to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;
25 Le fa pula e tla ka bontsi morwalela o bo o tlhatloga mme go tsubutla ditsuatsue ka fa ntle ga ntlo ya gagwe ga e kitla e wa, gonne e agilwe mo lefikeng.
And the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and rushed against that house, and it fell not; for it had been founded upon the rock.
26 “Mme ba ba utlwang ditaelo tsa me, mme ba sa di tlhokomele ba dieleele, jaaka monna yo o agang ntlo ya gagwe mo motlhabeng.
And every one who heareth these my words, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;
27 Gonne fa dipula le merwalela di tla, mme diphefo di foka di itaaka ntlo ya gagwe, e tlaa gosomana mo go golo.”
And the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and dashed against that house, and it fell; and, the fall thereof, was, great.
28 Bontsintsi jwa batho bo ne jwa gakgamadiwa ke thuto ya ga Jesu.
And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, with astonishment were the multitudes being struck at his teaching;
29 Gonne o ne a ruta jaaka mongwe yo o nang le nonofo e kgolo, eseng jaaka baeteledipele ba bone ba Sejuda.
for he was teaching them as one having, authority, and not as their Scribes.
