Matthew 7
1 “Do not judge, so that you will not be judged.
“Temusalanga musango, nammwe muleme okusalirwa omusango.
2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
Kubanga nga bwe musalira abalala nammwe bwe mujjanga okusalirwa. Ekigera kye mugereramu, nammwe kye muligererwamu.”
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?
“Ofaayo ki ku kasasiro akali ku liiso lya muganda wo so nga ku liryo kuliko kisiki kiramba?
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?
Oyinza otya okugamba muganda wo nti, ‘Leka nkuggyeko akasasiro akakuli ku liiso,’ so nga ku liryo kuliko kisiki?
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.
Munnanfuusi ggwe! Sooka oggyeko ekisiki ekiri ku liiso lyo olyoke olabe bulungi nga bw’oggyako akasasiro akali ku liiso lya muganda wo.”
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.
“Temuddiranga bintu bitukuvu ne mubiwa embwa. N’embizzi temuzisuuliranga mayinja ag’omuwendo omungi, kubanga zigenda kugalinnyirira, n’oluvannyuma zikyuke zibalume.”
7 “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
“Musabe, munaaweebwa. Munoonye, munaazuula. Era mukonkone munaggulirwawo.
8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Kubanga buli asaba aweebwa, n’oyo anoonya, azuula, n’oyo akonkona aggulirwawo.”
9 Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
“Oba muntu ki mu mmwe singa omwana we amusaba omugaati, ayinza okumuwa ejjinja?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
Oba singa asabye ekyennyanja, kitaawe ayinza okumuwa omusota?
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!
Obanga mmwe abantu ababi musobola okuwa abaana bammwe ebirabo ebirungi, Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisingawo okubawa ebirungi bye mumusaba?
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.
Noolwekyo ebintu byonna bye mwagala abantu okubakoleranga, nammwe mubibakoleranga, kubanga ebyo bye biri mu mateeka ne mu bunnabbi.”
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.
“Muyingirire mu mulyango omufunda! Kubanga ekkubo erigenda mu kuzikirira ddene n’omulyango mugazi, n’abalonda ekkubo eryo bangi.
14 How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.
Kubanga omulyango mufunda, n’ekkubo eridda eri obulamu ffunda, era n’abaliraba batono.”
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
“Mwekuume abayigiriza ab’obulimba, abajja nga bambadde amaliba g’endiga, songa munda gy’emisege egigenda okubataagulataagula.
16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?
Mulibalabira ku bikolwa byabwe, ng’omuti bwe mugutegeerera ku bibala byagwo. Omuntu tayinza kunoga mizabbibu ku busaana oba okunoga ettiini ku mweramannyo.
17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
Noolwekyo buli muti omulungi gubala ebibala ebirungi, naye omuti omuvundu gubala ebibala ebibi.
18 A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
Omuti omulungi teguyinza kubala bibala bibi, n’omuti omuvundu teguyinza kubala bibala birungi.
19 Every tree that does not grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Omuti gwonna ogutabala bibala birungi gutemebwa ne gusuulibwa mu muliro.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Noolwekyo mulibategeerera ku bibala byabwe.”
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 bonna abampita nti, ‘Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe,’ be baliyingira obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, wabula abo bokka abakola ebyo Kitange ali mu ggulu by’ayagala.
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?’
Ku lunaku Iuli bangi baliŋŋamba nti, ‘Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe, twayogeranga eby’obunnabbi mu linnya lyo, era ne tugoba ne baddayimooni mu linnya lyo, ne tukola n’ebyamagero bingi mu linnya lyo.’
23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
Ndibaddamu nti, ‘Sibamanyi, muve mu maaso gange, kubanga ebikolwa byammwe byali bibi.’”
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.
“Noolwekyo buli awulira ebigambo byange, n’abikola, alifaananyizibwa ng’omusajja ow’amagezi eyazimba enju ye ku lwazi.
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.
Enkuba n’etonnya, emigga ne gikulukuta, omuyaga ne gujja, ne bikuba enju eyo naye n’etegwa kubanga yazimbibwa ku lwazi.
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.
Naye buli awulira ebigambo byange n’atabikola, alifaananyizibwa ng’omusajja omusirusiru eyazimba ennyumba ye mu musenyu.
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.”
Enkuba n’etonnya, emigga ne gikulukuta, omuyaga ne gujja, ne bikuba ennyumba eyo, n’egwa, n’okugwa kwayo ne kuba kunene.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
Awo Yesu n’amaliriza ebigambo bye ebyo. Abantu bonna ne beewuunya nnyo olw’okuyigiriza kwe.
29 for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
Kubanga yabayigiriza nga nannyini buyinza, so si ng’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka baabwe bwe baayigirizanga.
