Mathayo 7
1 “Usihukumu ili usije ukahukumiwa.
Do not judge, and you will not be judged.
2 Kwa maana jinsi unavyowahukumu wengine, ndivyo utakavyohukumiwa, na kwa kipimo kile upimiacho, ndicho utakachopimiwa.
For with the judgment you judge, you will be judged, and with the measure that you measure, it will be measured out to you.
3 “Mbona unatazama kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako, na wala huoni boriti iliyo ndani ya jicho lako mwenyewe?
Why do you look at the tiny piece of straw that is in your brother's eye, but you do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4 Au unawezaje kumwambia ndugu yako, ‘Acha nitoe kibanzi kwenye jicho lako,’ wakati kuna boriti kwenye jicho lako mwenyewe?
How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take out the piece of straw that is in your eye,' while the log is in your own eye?
5 Ewe mnafiki, ondoa boriti ndani ya jicho lako kwanza, ndipo utaweza kuona dhahiri jinsi ya kuondoa kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako.
You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the piece of straw that is in your brother's eye.
6 “Msiwape mbwa vitu vilivyo vitakatifu; wala msitupie nguruwe lulu zenu. Kama mkifanya hivyo, watazikanyagakanyaga na kisha watawageukia na kuwararua vipande vipande.
Do not give what is holy to the dogs, and do not throw your pearls in front of the hogs. Otherwise they may trample them underfoot, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
7 “Ombeni nanyi mtapewa; tafuteni nanyi mtapata; bisheni nanyi mtafunguliwa mlango.
Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 Kwa kuwa kila aombaye hupewa; naye kila atafutaye hupata; na kila abishaye hufunguliwa mlango.
For everyone who asks, receives; everyone who seeks, finds; and to the person who knocks, it will be opened.
9 “Au ni nani miongoni mwenu ambaye mwanawe akimwomba mkate atampa jiwe?
Or which one of you, if his son asks for a loaf of bread, will give him a stone?
10 Au mwanawe akimwomba samaki atampa nyoka?
Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
11 Ikiwa ninyi basi mlio waovu mnajua kuwapa watoto wenu vitu vizuri, si zaidi sana Baba yenu aliye mbinguni atawapa vitu vizuri wale wamwombao?
Therefore, if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him?
12 Kwa hiyo chochote mnachotaka mtendewe na watu, ninyi nanyi watendeeni vivyo hivyo. Kwa kuwa hii ndiyo Sheria na Manabii.
Therefore, whatever things you want people to do to you, you should also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets.
13 “Ingieni kupitia mlango mwembamba, kwa maana lango ni pana na njia ni pana ielekeayo upotevuni, nao ni wengi waingiao kwa kupitia lango hilo.
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many people who go through it.
14 Lakini mlango ni mwembamba na njia ni finyu ielekeayo kwenye uzima, nao ni wachache tu waionao.
But the gate is narrow and the way is difficult that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
15 “Jihadharini na manabii wa uongo, wanaowajia wakiwa wamevaa mavazi ya kondoo, lakini ndani ni mbwa mwitu wakali.
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but are truly ravenous wolves.
16 Mtawatambua kwa matunda yao. Je, watu huchuma zabibu kwenye miiba, au tini kwenye michongoma?
By their fruits you will know them. Do people gather grapes from a thornbush or figs from thistles?
17 Vivyo hivyo, mti mwema huzaa matunda mazuri, na mti mbaya huzaa matunda mabaya.
In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but the bad tree produces bad fruit.
18 Mti mwema hauwezi kuzaa matunda mabaya, wala mti mbaya hauwezi kuzaa matunda mazuri.
A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.
19 Kila mti usiozaa matunda mazuri hukatwa na kutupwa motoni.
Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Hivyo, mtawatambua kwa matunda yao.
So then, you will recognize them by their fruits.
21 “Si kila mtu aniambiaye, ‘Bwana, Bwana,’ atakayeingia katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni, bali ni yeye afanyaye mapenzi ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Wengi wataniambia siku ile, ‘Bwana, Bwana, hatukutoa unabii kwa jina lako, na kwa jina lako kutoa pepo wachafu na kufanya miujiza mingi?’
Many people will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, in your name drive out demons, and in your name do many mighty deeds?'
23 Ndipo nitakapowaambia wazi, ‘Sikuwajua kamwe. Ondokeni kwangu, ninyi watenda maovu!’
Then will I openly declare to them, 'I never knew you! Get away from me, you evildoers!'
24 “Kwa hiyo kila mtu ayasikiaye haya maneno yangu na kuyatenda, ni kama mtu mwenye busara aliyejenga nyumba yake kwenye mwamba.
Therefore, everyone who hears my words and obeys them will be like a wise man who built his house upon a rock.
25 Mvua ikanyesha, mafuriko yakaja, na upepo ukavuma ukaipiga hiyo nyumba. Lakini haikuanguka; kwa sababu msingi wake ulikuwa kwenye mwamba.
The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall down, for it was built on the rock.
26 Naye kila anayesikia haya maneno yangu wala asiyatende, ni kama mtu mjinga aliyejenga nyumba yake kwenye mchanga.
But everyone who hears my words and does not obey them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand.
27 Mvua ikanyesha, mafuriko yakaja, nao upepo ukavuma ukaipiga hiyo nyumba, nayo ikaanguka kwa kishindo kikubwa.”
The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and struck that house, and it fell, and its destruction was complete.”
28 Yesu alipomaliza kusema maneno haya, makutano ya watu wakashangazwa sana na mafundisho yake,
It came about that when Jesus finished speaking these words, the crowds were astonished by his teaching,
29 kwa sababu alifundisha kama yeye aliye na mamlaka, wala si kama walimu wao wa sheria.
for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
