1
Msihukumu, msije mkahukumiwa ninyi.
“Do not judge, or you will be judged.
2
Kwa kuwa hukumu ile mhukumuyo, ndiyo mtakayohukumiwa; na kipimo kile mpimiacho, ndicho mtakachopimiwa.
For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3
Basi, mbona wakitazama kibanzi kilicho ndani ya jicho la ndugu yako, na boriti iliyo ndani ya jicho lako mwenyewe huiangalii?
Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
4
Au utamwambiaje nduguyo, Niache nikitoe kibanzi katika jicho lako; na kumbe! Mna boriti ndani ya jicho lako mwenyewe?
How 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?
5
Mnafiki wewe, itoe kwanza ile boriti katika jicho lako mwenyewe; ndipo utakapoona vema kukitoa kile kibanzi katika jicho la ndugu yako.
You 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 kilicho kitakatifu, wala msitupe lulu zenu mbele ya nguruwe, wasije wakazikanyaga chini ya miguu yao, wakageuka na kuwararua.
Do 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 mtaona; bisheni, nanyi mtafunguliwa;
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
8
kwa maana kila aombaye hupokea; naye atafutaye huona; naye abishaye atafunguliwa.
For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
9
Au kuna mtu yupi kwenu, ambaye, mwanawe akimwomba mkate, atampa jiwe?
Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
10
Au akiomba samaki, atampa nyoka?
Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
11
Basi ikiwa ninyi, mlio waovu, mnajua kuwapa watoto wenu vipawa vyema, je! Si zaidi sana Baba yenu aliye mbinguni atawapa mema wao wamwombao?
So 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
Basi yo yote myatakayo mtendewe na watu, nanyi watendeeni vivyo hivyo; maana hiyo ndiyo torati na manabii.
In 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 ulio mwembamba; maana mlango ni mpana, na njia ni pana iendayo upotevuni, nao ni wengi waingiao kwa mlango huo.
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14
Bali mlango ni mwembamba, na njia imesonga iendayo uzimani, nao waionao ni wachache.
But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.
15
Jihadharini na manabii wa uongo, watu wanaowajia wamevaa mavazi ya kondoo, walakini kwa ndani ni mbwa-mwitu wakali.
Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
16
Mtawatambua kwa matunda yao. Je! Watu huchuma zabibu katika miiba, au tini katika mibaruti?
By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17
Vivyo hivyo kila mti mwema huzaa matunda mazuri; na mti mwovu huzaa matunda mabaya.
Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18
Mti mwema hauwezi kuzaa matunda mabaya, wala mti mwovu kuzaa matunda mazuri.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19
Kila mti usiozaa tunda zuri hukatwa ukatupwa motoni.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20
Ndiposa kwa matunda yao mtawatambua.
So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21
Si kila mtu aniambiaye, Bwana, Bwana, atakayeingia katika ufalme wa mbinguni; bali ni yeye afanyaye mapenzi ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
Not 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.
22
Wengi wataniambia siku ile, Bwana, Bwana, hatukufanya unabii kwa jina lako, na kwa jina lako kutoa pepo, na kwa jina lako kufanya miujiza mingi?
Many 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?’
23
Ndipo nitawaambia dhahiri, Sikuwajua ninyi kamwe; ondokeni kwangu, ninyi mtendao maovu.
Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’
24
Basi kila asikiaye hayo maneno yangu, na kuyafanya, atafananishwa na mtu mwenye akili, aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mwamba;
Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25
mvua ikanyesha, mafuriko yakaja, pepo zikavuma, zikaipiga nyumba ile, isianguke; kwa maana misingi yake imewekwa juu ya mwamba.
The 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
Na kila asikiaye hayo maneno yangu asiyafanye, atafananishwa na mtu mpumbavu, aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mchanga;
But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27
mvua ikanyesha, mafuriko yakaja, pepo zikavuma, zikaipiga nyumba ile, ikaanguka; nalo anguko lake likawa kubwa.
The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!”
28
Ikawa, Yesu alipoyamaliza maneno hayo, makutano walishangaa mno kwa mafundisho yake;
When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,
29
kwa maana alikuwa akiwafundisha kama mtu mwenye amri, wala si kama waandishi wao.
because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
