1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Msihukumu, msije mkahukumiwa ninyi.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Kwa kuwa hukumu ile mhukumuyo, ndiyo mtakayohukumiwa; na kipimo kile mpimiacho, ndicho mtakachopimiwa.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Basi, mbona wakitazama kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako, na boriti iliyo ndani ya jicho lako mwenyewe huiangalii?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Au utamwambiaje nduguyo, Niache nikitoe kibanzi katika jicho lako; na kumbe! Mna boriti ndani ya jicho lako mwenyewe?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Mnafiki wewe, itoe kwanza ile boriti katika jicho lako mwenyewe; ndipo utakapoona vema kukitoa kile kibanzi katika jicho la ndugu yako.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Msiwape mbwa kilicho kitakatifu, wala msitupe lulu zenu mbele ya nguruwe, wasije wakazikanyaga chini ya miguu yao, wakageuka na kuwararua.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Ombeni, nanyi mtapewa; tafuteni, nanyi mtaona; bisheni, nanyi mtafunguliwa;
8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
kwa maana kila aombaye hupokea; naye atafutaye huona; naye abishaye atafunguliwa.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Au kuna mtu yupi kwenu, ambaye, mwanawe akimwomba mkate, atampa jiwe?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Au akiomba samaki, atampa nyoka?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Basi ikiwa ninyi, mlio waovu, mnajua kuwapa watoto wenu vipawa vyema, je! Si zaidi sana Baba yenu aliye mbinguni atawapa mema wao wamwombao?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Basi yo yote myatakayo mtendewe na watu, nanyi watendeeni vivyo hivyo; maana hiyo ndiyo torati na manabii.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Ingieni kwa kupitia mlango ulio mwembamba; maana mlango ni mpana, na njia ni pana iendayo upotevuni, nao ni wengi waingiao kwa mlango huo.
14 because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Bali mlango ni mwembamba, na njia imesonga iendayo uzimani, nao waionao ni wachache.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Jihadharini na manabii wa uongo, watu wanaowajia wamevaa mavazi ya kondoo, walakini kwa ndani ni mbwa-mwitu wakali.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mtawatambua kwa matunda yao. Je! Watu huchuma zabibu katika miiba, au tini katika mibaruti?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Vivyo hivyo kila mti mwema huzaa matunda mazuri; na mti mwovu huzaa matunda mabaya.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mti mwema hauwezi kuzaa matunda mabaya, wala mti mwovu kuzaa matunda mazuri.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Kila mti usiozaa tunda zuri hukatwa ukatupwa motoni.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Ndiposa kwa matunda yao mtawatambua.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Si kila mtu aniambiaye, Bwana, Bwana, atakayeingia katika ufalme wa mbinguni; bali ni yeye afanyaye mapenzi ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Wengi wataniambia siku ile, Bwana, Bwana, hatukufanya unabii kwa jina lako, na kwa jina lako kutoa pepo, na kwa jina lako kufanya miujiza mingi?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Ndipo nitawaambia dhahiri, Sikuwajua ninyi kamwe; ondokeni kwangu, ninyi mtendao maovu.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Basi kila asikiaye hayo maneno yangu, na kuyafanya, atafananishwa na mtu mwenye akili, aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mwamba;
25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
mvua ikanyesha, mafuriko yakaja, pepo zikavuma, zikaipiga nyumba ile, isianguke; kwa maana misingi yake imewekwa juu ya mwamba.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
Na kila asikiaye hayo maneno yangu asiyafanye, atafananishwa na mtu mpumbavu, aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mchanga;
27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
mvua ikanyesha, mafuriko yakaja, pepo zikavuma, zikaipiga nyumba ile, ikaanguka; nalo anguko lake likawa kubwa.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
Ikawa, Yesu alipoyamaliza maneno hayo, makutano walishangaa mno kwa mafundisho yake;
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
kwa maana alikuwa akiwafundisha kama mtu mwenye amri, wala si kama waandishi wao.
