Mathayo 7
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1“Msiwahukumu wengine, msije nanyi mkahukumiwa na Mungu;
1“Do not judge, or you will be judged.
2kwa maana jinsi mnavyowahukumu wengine, ndivyo nanyi mtakavyohukumiwa; na kipimo kilekile mnachotumia kwa wengine ndicho Mungu atakachotumia kwenu.
2For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3Kwa nini wakiona kibanzi kilicho jichoni mwa ndugu yako, na papo hapo huioni boriti iliyoko jichoni mwako?
3Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
4Au, wawezaje kumwambia ndugu yako, Ndugu, ngoja nikuondoe kibanzi jichoni mwako, wakati wewe mwenyewe unayo boriti jichoni mwako?
4How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye?
5Mnafiki wewe! Ondoa kwanza boriti iliyoko jichoni mwako na hapo ndipo utaona waziwazi kiasi cha kuweza kuondoa kibanzi kilichoko jichoni mwa ndugu yako.
5You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6“Msiwape mbwa vitu vitakatifu wasije wakageuka na kuwararua ninyi; wala msiwatupie nguruwe lulu zenu wasije wakazikanyaga.
6Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
7“Ombeni, nanyi mtapewa; tafuteni, nanyi mtapata; bisheni, nanyi mtafunguliwa.
7Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
8Maana, aombaye hupewa, atafutaye hupata, na abishaye hufunguliwa.
8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
9Je, kuna yeyote miongoni mwenu ambaye mtoto wake akimwomba mkate, atampa jiwe?
9Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
10Au je, akimwomba samaki, atampa nyoka?
10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
11Kama basi ninyi, ingawa ni waovu, mwajua kuwapa watoto wenu vitu vizuri, hakika Baba yenu wa mbinguni atafanya zaidi: atawapa mema wale wanaomwomba.
11So 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“Watendeeni wengine yale mnayotaka wao wawatendee ninyi. Hii ndiyo maana ya Sheria ya Mose na mafundisho ya manabii.
12In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.
13“Ingieni kwa kupitia mlango mwembamba. Kwa maana njia inayoongoza kwenye maangamizi ni pana, na mlango wa kuingilia humo ni mpana; waendao njia hiyo ni wengi.
13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14Lakini njia inayoongoza kwenye uzima ni nyembamba, na mlango wa kuingilia humo ni mwembamba; ni watu wachache tu wanaoweza kuigundua njia hiyo.
14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.
15“Jihadharini na manabii wa uongo. Wao huja kwenu wakionekana kama kondoo kwa nje, lakini kwa ndani ni mbwa mwitu wakali.
15Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
16Mtawatambua kwa matendo yao. Je, watu huchuma zabibu katika miti ya miiba, au tini katika mbigili? La!
16By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17Basi, mti mwema huzaa matunda mema, na mti mbaya huzaa matunda mabaya.
17Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18Mti mwema hauwezi kuzaa matunda mabaya, wala mti mbaya hauwezi kuzaa matunda mema.
18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19Kila mti usiozaa matunda mema utakatwa na kutupwa motoni.
19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20Kwa hiyo, mtawatambua kwa matendo yao.
20So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21“Si kila aniambiaye, Bwana, Bwana, ataingia katika Ufalme wa mbinguni; ila ni yule tu anayetimiza mapenzi ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22Wengi wataniambia Siku ile ya hukumu: Bwana, Bwana! kwa jina lako tulitangaza ujumbe wako, na kwa jina lako tuliwatoa pepo na kufanya miujiza mingi.
22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’
23Hapo nitawaambia: Sikuwajua ninyi kamwe; ondokeni mbele yangu, enyi watenda maovu.
23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’
24“Kwa sababu hiyo, kila mtu anayeyasikia maneno yangu na kuyazingatia, anafanana na mtu mwenye busara, aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mwamba.
24Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25Mvua ikanyesha, mito ikafurika, pepo kali zikavuma na kuipiga nyumba hiyo. Lakini haikuanguka kwa sababu ilikuwa imejengwa juu ya mwamba.
25The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock.
26“Lakini yeyote anayesikia maneno yangu haya bila kuyazingatia, anafanana na mtu mpumbavu aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mchanga.
26But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27Mvua ikanyesha, mito ikafurika, pepo kali zikavuma na kuipiga nyumba hiyo, nayo ikaanguka; tena kwa kishindo kikubwa.”
27The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!”
28Yesu alipomaliza kusema maneno hayo, umati wa watu ukashangazwa na mafundisho yake.
28When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,
29Hakuwa kama walimu wao wa Sheria, bali alifundisha kwa mamlaka.
29because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
