Matthew 7
1 “Do not judge, so that you will not be judged.
“Musaweruze ena, kuti inunso mungadzaweruzidwe.
2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
Pakuti momwe inu muweruzira ena, inunso mudzaweruzidwa chimodzimodzi, muyeso umene muyesera ena inunso mudzayesedwa ndi womwewo.
3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye?
“Chifukwa chiyani iwe uyangʼana kachitsotso ka mʼdiso la mʼbale wako koma susamalira chimtengo chili mʼdiso mwako?
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?
Kodi unganene bwanji kwa mʼbale wako kuti, ‘Ndikuchotse kachitsotso mʼdiso mwako,’ pamene nthawi zonse chimtengo uli nacho mʼdiso mwako?
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.
Wachiphamaso iwe! Yamba wachotsa chimtengo chili mʼdiso mwako ndipo pamenepo udzatha kuona bwino ndi kuchotsa kachitsotso kali mʼdiso mwa mʼbale wako.
6 “Do not 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.
“Musapatse agalu zinthu zopatulika; kapena musaponyere nkhumba ngale zanu. Pakuti ngati mutero, zidzaziponda ndipo pomwepo zidzakutembenukirani ndi kukudulani nthulinthuli.
7 “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
“Pemphani ndipo mudzapatsidwa; funafunani ndipo mudzapeza; gogodani ndipo adzakutsekulirani.
8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Pakuti wopempha aliyense amalandira; ndi wofuna amapeza; ndipo iye amene agogoda, adzamutsekulira.
9 Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
“Ndani mwa inu, mwana wake akamupempha buledi amamupatsa mwala?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
Kapena ngati mwana apempha nsomba, kodi amamupatsa njoka?
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!
Tsono ngati inu woyipitsitsa mumadziwa kupatsa ana anu mphatso zabwino, nanga Atate anu akumwamba sadzapereka mphatso zabwino kwa iwo amene amupempha?
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.
Nʼchifukwa chake zinthu zilizonse mukafuna kuti anthu akuchitireni, yambani ndinu kuwachitira, pakuti izi ndi zimene malamulo ndi aneneri amaphunzitsa.
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.
“Lowani pa chipata chopapatiza. Pakuti chipata cholowera kuchiwonongeko nʼchachikulu ndipo msewu wake ndi waukulunso. Ndipo anthu ambiri amalowera pamenepo.
14 How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.
Koma chipata ndi chopapatiza ndi msewu ndi waungʼono umene utsogolera anthu ku moyo wosatha ndipo ndi owerengeka okha amene ayipeza njirayo.
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
“Chenjerani nawo aneneri onyenga. Amabwera kwa inu atavala zikopa zankhosa, koma mʼkati mwawo ali mimbulu yolusa.
16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?
Mudzawazindikira iwo ndi zipatso zawo. Kodi anthu amathyola mpesa pa mtengo wa minga, kapena nkhuyu pa nthula?
17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
Chimodzimodzinso mtengo wabwino umabala chipatso chabwino, koma mtengo woyipa umabala chipatso choyipa.
18 A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
Mtengo wabwino sungabale chipatso choyipa, ndi mtengo woyipa sungabale chipatso chabwino.
19 Every tree that does not grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Mtengo uliwonse umene subala chipatso chabwino umadulidwa ndi kuponyedwa pa moto.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Momwemonso, ndi zipatso zawo iwo mudzawazindikira.
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.
“Si munthu aliyense amene amanena kwa Ine, ‘Ambuye, Ambuye,’ adzalowe mu ufumu wakumwamba, koma ndi yekhayo amene amachita chifuniro cha Atate anga amene ali kumwamba.
22 Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did not we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’
Ambiri adzati kwa Ine pa tsikulo, ‘Ambuye, Ambuye, kodi sitinkanenera mʼdzina lanu ndi mʼdzina lanunso tinkatulutsa ziwanda ndi kuchita zodabwitsa zambiri?’
23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
Pamenepo ndidzawawuza momveka bwino kuti, ‘Sindinakudziweni inu. Chokani kwa Ine, inu ochita zoyipa!’
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.
“Nʼchifukwa chake aliyense amene amva mawu anga ndi kuwachita akufanana ndi munthu wanzeru amene anamanga nyumba yake pa thanthwe.
25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
Mvula inagwa, mitsinje inadzaza, ndi mphepo zinawomba pa nyumbayo; koma sinagwe, chifukwa maziko ake anali pa thanthwe.
26 Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
Koma aliyense amene amva mawu angawa ndi kusawachita ali ngati munthu wopusa amene anamanga nyumba yake pa mchenga.
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.”
Mvula inagwa, mitsinje inadzaza, ndi mphepo zinawomba pa nyumbayo, ndipo inagwa ndipo kugwa kwake kunali kwakukulu.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
Yesu atamaliza kunena zonsezi, magulu a anthu anadabwa ndi chiphunzitso chake,
29 for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
chifukwa anaphunzitsa ngati amene anali ndi ulamuliro osati ngati aphunzitsi amalamulo.
