¹Judge not, that ye may not be judged;

¹"Msiwahukumu wengine, msije nanyi mkahukumiwa na Mungu;

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

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

³But why lookest thou on the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, but observest not the beam that is in thine eye?

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, Allow [me], I will cast out the mote from thine eye; and behold, the beam is in thine 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 eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to cast out the mote out of the eye of thy brother.

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

⁶Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them with their feet, and turning round rend you.

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

⁷Ask, 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 that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.

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

⁹Or what man is there of you who, if his son shall ask of him a loaf of bread, will give him a stone;

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

¹⁰and if he ask a fish, will give him a serpent?

¹⁰Au je, akimwomba samaki, atampa nyoka?

¹¹If therefore *ye*, being wicked, know [how] to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that ask of him?

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

¹²Therefore all things whatever ye desire that men should do to you, thus do *ye* 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.

¹³Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many are they who enter 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.

¹⁴For narrow the gate and straitened the way that leads to life, and they are few who find it.

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

¹⁵But beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but within are ravening wolves.

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

¹⁶By their fruits ye shall know them. Do [men] gather a bunch of grapes from thorns, 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 produces good fruits, but the worthless tree produces bad fruits.

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

¹⁸A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, nor a worthless tree produce good fruits.

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

¹⁹Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

¹⁹Kila mti usiozaa matunda mema utakatwa na kutupwa motoni.

²⁰By their fruits then surely ye shall know them.

²⁰Kwa hiyo, mtawatambua kwa matendo yao.

²¹Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does 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 shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied through *thy* name, and through *thy* name cast out demons, and through *thy* name done many works of power?

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 will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.

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

²⁴Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent 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 came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.

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

²⁶And every one who hears these my words and does not do them, he 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 came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and beat upon 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 had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his doctrine,

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

²⁹for he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.

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