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

¹"Msiwahukumu wengine, msije nanyi mkahukumiwa na Mungu;

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

²kwa maana jinsi mnavyowahukumu wengine, ndivyo nanyi mtakavyohukumiwa; na kipimo kilekile mnachotumia kwa wengine ndicho Mungu atakachotumia kwenu.

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?

³Kwa nini wakiona kibanzi kilicho jichoni mwa ndugu yako, na papo hapo huioni boriti iliyoko jichoni mwako?

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?

⁴Au, wawezaje kumwambia ndugu yako, Ndugu, ngoja nikuondoe kibanzi jichoni mwako, wakati wewe mwenyewe unayo boriti jichoni mwako?

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.

⁵Mnafiki wewe! Ondoa kwanza boriti iliyoko jichoni mwako na hapo ndipo utaona waziwazi kiasi cha kuweza kuondoa kibanzi kilichoko jichoni mwa ndugu yako.

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.

⁶"Msiwape mbwa vitu vitakatifu wasije wakageuka na kuwararua ninyi; wala msiwatupie nguruwe lulu zenu wasije wakazikanyaga.

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

⁷"Ombeni, nanyi mtapewa; tafuteni, nanyi mtapata; bisheni, nanyi mtafunguliwa.

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.

⁸Maana, aombaye hupewa, atafutaye hupata, na abishaye hufunguliwa.

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

⁹Je, kuna yeyote miongoni mwenu ambaye mtoto wake akimwomba mkate, atampa jiwe?

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

¹⁰Au je, akimwomba samaki, atampa nyoka?

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?

¹¹Kama basi ninyi, ingawa ni waovu, mwajua kuwapa watoto wenu vitu vizuri, hakika Baba yenu wa mbinguni atafanya zaidi: atawapa mema wale wanaomwomba.

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.

¹²"Watendeeni wengine yale mnayotaka wao wawatendee ninyi. Hii ndiyo maana ya Sheria ya Mose na mafundisho ya manabii.

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;

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.

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

¹⁴Lakini njia inayoongoza kwenye uzima ni nyembamba, na mlango wa kuingilia humo ni mwembamba; ni watu wachache tu wanaoweza kuigundua njia hiyo.

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

¹⁵"Jihadharini na manabii wa uongo. Wao huja kwenu wakionekana kama kondoo kwa nje, lakini kwa ndani ni mbwa mwitu wakali.

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

¹⁶Mtawatambua kwa matendo yao. Je, watu huchuma zabibu katika miti ya miiba, au tini katika mbigili? La!

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

¹⁷Basi, mti mwema huzaa matunda mema, na mti mbaya huzaa matunda mabaya.

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

¹⁸Mti mwema hauwezi kuzaa matunda mabaya, wala mti mbaya hauwezi kuzaa matunda mema.

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

¹⁹Kila mti usiozaa matunda mema utakatwa na kutupwa motoni.

²⁰therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.

²⁰Kwa hiyo, mtawatambua kwa matendo yao.

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.

²¹"Si kila aniambiaye, Bwana, Bwana, ataingia katika Ufalme wa mbinguni; ila ni yule tu anayetimiza mapenzi ya Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.

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?

²²Wengi wataniambia Siku ile ya hukumu: Bwana, Bwana! kwa jina lako tulitangaza ujumbe wako, na kwa jina lako tuliwatoa pepo na kufanya miujiza mingi.

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

²³Hapo nitawaambia: Sikuwajua ninyi kamwe; ondokeni mbele yangu, enyi watenda maovu.

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;

²⁴"Kwa sababu hiyo, kila mtu anayeyasikia maneno yangu na kuyazingatia, anafanana na mtu mwenye busara, aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mwamba.

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.

²⁵Mvua ikanyesha, mito ikafurika, pepo kali zikavuma na kuipiga nyumba hiyo. Lakini haikuanguka kwa sababu ilikuwa imejengwa juu ya mwamba.

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;

²⁶"Lakini yeyote anayesikia maneno yangu haya bila kuyazingatia, anafanana na mtu mpumbavu aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mchanga.

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.`

²⁷Mvua ikanyesha, mito ikafurika, pepo kali zikavuma na kuipiga nyumba hiyo, nayo ikaanguka; tena kwa kishindo kikubwa."

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

²⁸Yesu alipomaliza kusema maneno hayo, umati wa watu ukashangazwa na mafundisho yake.

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

²⁹Hakuwa kama walimu wao wa Sheria, bali alifundisha kwa mamlaka.
