Matthew 7
1 “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.
“Mummmu ntɛn, na afoforo ammu mo ntɛn.
2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
Nea mode yɛ afoforo no, ɛno ara na wɔde bɛyɛ mo.
3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
“Adɛn na woma dua ntɛtɛ a ɛda wo nua ani so no haw wo, bere a mpuran a ɛda wo de so no mfa wo ho?
4 Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?
Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na woatumi aka akyerɛ wo nua se, ‘Ma minyi ntɛtɛ a ɛda wʼani so no mma wo,’ bere a mpuran da wʼani so daa.
5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.
Nyaatwomni! Di kan yi mpuran a ɛda wʼankasa ani so no ansa na woatumi ahu ntɛtɛ a ɛda wo nua ani so no yiye na woayi ama no.
6 “Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
“Mommfa nea ɛho tew mma akraman. Saa ara nso na monntow mo nhene pa ngu mprako anim! Wobetiatia so, na wɔadan wɔn ho atow ahyɛ mo so.
7 “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
“Mummisa, na wɔbɛma mo; monhwehwɛ, na mubehu; mompem, na wobebue mo.
8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Na obiara a obisa no, onya. Obiara a ɔhwehwɛ no, ohu; na nea ɔpem no, wobue no.
9 Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
“Na hena na ne ba bisa no brodo a ɔbɛma no ɔbo?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
Anaasɛ obisa no nsumnam a ɔbɛma no ɔwɔ? Ɛremma saa da!
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
Na sɛ mo a moyɛ abɔnefo mpo nim sɛnea moma mo mma nnepa a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no mfa nnepa mma ne mma wɔn a wobisa no no?
12 Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
Enti sɛnea mmara no ne adiyifo no ka no, ade biara a mopɛ sɛ nnipa nyɛ mma mo no, mo nso monyɛ mma wɔn saa ara.
13 “Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it.
“Ɔkwan teateaa no nko ara so na wubetumi afa akɔ ɔsoro! Ɔkwan a ɛkɔ ɔbonsam kurom no trɛw, na nʼapon nso mu bae ma nnipadɔm a wɔfa so kɔ ɔsɛe mu.
14 How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.
Ɔpon a wowura mu de kɔ nkwa mu no yɛ hiahiaa na ɔkwan a wɔfa so no nso yɛ teateaa, na nnipa kakraa bi na wohu fa so.
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
“Monhwɛ mo ho yiye wɔ atoro akyerɛkyerɛfo a wɔba mo nkyɛn ahobrɛase mu sɛ nguan, nanso wɔyɛ mpataku a wonya mo a, wɔbɛtetew mo pasaa no ho.
16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?
Wɔn nneyɛe na mode behu wɔn, sɛnea mutumi de dua bi aba hu dua ko a ɛyɛ no. Worentumi ntew bobe wɔ nsɔe so; saa ara nso na worentumi ntew borɔdɔma wɔ nnɛnkyɛnse so.
17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
Dua a ɛwɔ nnyinaso pa no tumi sow aba pa; na dua a enni nnyinaso pa no nso sow aba bɔne.
18 A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
Dua pa ntumi nsow aba bɔne; saa ara nso na dua bɔne ntumi nsow aba pa.
19 Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Dua biara a ɛnsow aba pa no, wotwa de gu gya mu hyew no.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Onipa nneyɛe na ɛma wohu ne suban.
21 “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.
“Ɛnyɛ obiara a ɔbɔ me din ‘Awurade, Awurade’ no na ɔbɛkɔ ɔsoro ahemman mu.
22 Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’
Atemmu da no, nnipa pii bɛka akyerɛ me se, ‘Awurade, yɛkaa wo ho asɛm kyerɛɛ afoforo. Yɛnam wo din nso so tuu ahonhommɔne, san yɛɛ anwonwade, ahorow.’
23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
Na mabua wɔn se, ‘Minnim mo da. Mumfi me so nkɔ, nnebɔneyɛfo!’
24 “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock.
“Wɔn a wotie nea meka, na wodi so no te sɛ onyansafo a osi ne dan si ɔbotan so.
25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.
Osu tɔe, na osuframa bɔe, na nsu yirii, na emu biara kaa ɔdan no nanso ammu da, efisɛ wosi sii ɔbotan so.
26 Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
Nanso wɔn a wotie nea meka na wonni so no te sɛ ɔkwasea bi a osii ne dan sii nwea so.
27 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”
Osu tɔe, na osuframa bɔe, na nsu yirii, na emu biara kaa ɔdan no. Na edwiriw guu fam, bubuu pasaa.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
Yesu asɛnka no maa nnipadɔm a wotiee no no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn,
29 for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
efisɛ ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ te sɛ obi a okura tumi, na ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no nte sɛ nea Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no kyerɛ no.
