¹`Judge not, that ye may not be judged,

¹እንዳይፈረድባችሁ አትፍረዱ፤ በምትፈርዱበት ፍርድ ይፈረድባችኋልና፥ በምትሰፍሩበትም መስፈሪያ ይሰፈርባችኋል።

²for in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you.

³በወንድምህም ዓይን ያለውን ጉድፍ ስለምን ታያለህ፥ በዓይንህ ግን ያለውን ምሰሶ ስለ ምን አትመለከትም?

³`And why dost thou behold the mote that [is] in thy brother`s eye, and the beam that [is] in thine own eye dost not consider?

⁴ወይም ወንድምህን። ከዓይንህ ጉድፍ ላውጣ ፍቀድልኝ እንዴትስ ትለዋለህ? እነሆም፥ በዓይንህ ምሰሶ አለ።

⁴or, how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer I may cast out the mote from thine eye, and lo, the beam [is] in thine own eye?

⁵አንተ ግብዝ፥ አስቀድመህ ከዓይንህ ምሰሶውን አውጣ፥ ከዚያም በኋላ ከወንድምህ ዓይን ጉድፉን ታወጣ ዘንድ አጥርተህ ታያለህ።

⁵Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother`s eye.

⁶በእግራቸው እንዳይረግጡት ተመልሰውም እንዳይነክሱአችሁ፥ የተቀደሰውን ለውሾች አትስጡ፥ ዕንቁዎቻችሁንም በእሪያዎች ፊት አትጣሉ።

⁶`Ye may not give that which is [holy] to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned — may rend you.

⁷ለምኑ፥ ይሰጣችሁማል፤ ፈልጉ፥ ታገኙማላችሁ፤ መዝጊያን አንኳኩ፥ ይከፈትላችሁማል።

⁷`Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;

⁸የሚለምነው ሁሉ ይቀበላልና፥ የሚፈልገውም ያገኛል፥ መዝጊያንም ለሚያንኳኳ ይከፈትለታል።

⁸for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

⁹ወይስ ከእናንተ፥ ልጁ እንጀራ ቢለምነው፥ ድንጋይን የሚሰጠው ከእናንተ ማን ሰው ነው?

⁹`Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask a loaf — a stone will he present to him?

¹⁰ዓሣስ ቢለምነው እባብን ይሰጠዋልን?

¹⁰and if a fish he may ask — a serpent will he present to him?

¹¹እንኪያስ እናንተ ክፉዎች ስትሆኑ ለልጆቻችሁ መልካም ስጦታ መስጠትን ካወቃችሁ፥ በሰማያት ያለው አባታችሁ ለሚለምኑት እንዴት አብልጦ መልካም ነገርን ይሰጣቸው?

¹¹if, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give to your children, how much more shall your Father who [is] in the heavens give good things to those asking him?

¹²እንግዲህ ሰዎች ሊያደርጉላችሁ የምትወዱትን ሁሉ እናንተ ደግሞ እንዲሁ አድርጉላቸው፤ ሕግም ነቢያትም ይህ ነውና።

¹²`All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets.

¹³በጠበበው ደጅ ግቡ፤ ወደ ጥፋት የሚወስደው ደጅ ሰፊ፥ መንገዱም ትልቅ ነውና፥ ወደ እርሱም የሚገቡ ብዙዎች ናቸው፤

¹³`Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide [is] the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;

¹⁴ወደ ሕይወት የሚወስደው ደጅ የጠበበ፥ መንገዱም የቀጠነ ነውና፥ የሚያገኙትም ጥቂቶች ናቸው።

¹⁴how strait [is] the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!

¹⁵የበግ ለምድ ለብሰው ከሚመጡባችሁ በውሥጣቸው ግን ነጣቂዎች ተኵላዎች ከሆኑ ከሐሰተኞች ነቢያት ተጠንቀቁ።

¹⁵`But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep`s clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves.

¹⁶ከፍሬያቸው ታውቋቸዋላችሁ። ከእሾህ ወይን ከኩርንችትስ በለስ ይለቀማልን?

¹⁶From their fruits ye shall know them; do [men] gather from thorns grapes? or from thistles figs?

¹⁷እንዲሁ መልካም ዛፍ ሁሉ መልካም ፍሬ ያደርጋል፥ ክፉም ዛፍ ክፉ ፍሬ ያደርጋል።

¹⁷so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits.

¹⁸መልካም ዛፍ ክፉ ፍሬ ማፍራት፥ ወይም ክፉ ዛፍ መልካም ፍሬ ማፍራት አይቻለውም።

¹⁸A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits.

¹⁹መልካም ፍሬ የማያደርግ ዛፍ ሁሉ ይቆረጣል ወደ እሳትም ይጣላል።

¹⁹Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast to fire:

²⁰ስለዚህም ከፍሬያቸው ታውቋቸዋላችሁ።

²⁰therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.

²¹በሰማያት ያለውን የአባቴን ፈቃድ የሚያደርግ እንጂ፥ ጌታ ሆይ፥ ጌታ ሆይ፥ የሚለኝ ሁሉ መንግሥተ ሰማያት የሚገባ አይደለም።

²¹`Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

²²በዚያ ቀን ብዙዎች። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ጌታ ሆይ፥ በስምህ ትንቢት አልተናገርንምን፥ በስምህስ አጋንንትን አላወጣንምን፥ በስምህስ ብዙ ተአምራትን አላደረግንምን? ይሉኛል።

²²Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things?

²³የዚያን ጊዜም። ከቶ አላወቅኋችሁም፤ እናንተ ዓመፀኞች፥ ከእኔ ራቁ ብዬ እመሰክርባቸዋለሁ።

²³and then I will acknowledge to them, that — I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness.

²⁴ስለዚህ ይህን ቃሌን ሰምቶ የሚያደርገው ሁሉ ቤቱን በዓለት ላይ የሠራ ልባም ሰውን ይመስላል።

²⁴`Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock;

²⁵ዝናብም ወረደ ጎርፍም መጣ ነፋስም ነፈሰ ያንም ቤት ገፋው፥ በዓለት ላይም ስለ ተመሠረተ አልወደቀም።

²⁵and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock.

²⁶ይህንም ቃሌን ሰምቶ የማያደርገው ሰው ሁሉ ቤቱን በአሸዋ ላይ የሠራ ሰነፍ ሰውን ይመስላል።

²⁶`And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;

²⁷ዝናብም ወረደ ጎርፍም መጣ ነፋስም ነፈሰ ያንም ቤት መታው፥ ወደቀም፥ አወዳደቁም ታላቅ ሆነ።

²⁷and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.`

²⁸ኢየሱስም ይህን ነገር በጨረሰ ጊዜ ሕዝቡ በትምህርቱ ተገረሙ፤ እንደ ጻፎቻቸው ሳይሆን

²⁸And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

²⁹እንደ ባለ ሥልጣን ያስተምራቸው ነበርና።

²⁹for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
