1 “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.
1እንዳይፈረድባችሁ አትፍረዱ፤ በምትፈርዱበት ፍርድ ይፈረድባችኋልና፥ በምትሰፍሩበትም መስፈሪያ ይሰፈርባችኋል።
2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
3በወንድምህም ዓይን ያለውን ጉድፍ ስለምን ታያለህ፥ በዓይንህ ግን ያለውን ምሰሶ ስለ ምን አትመለከትም?
3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
4ወይም ወንድምህን። ከዓይንህ ጉድፍ ላውጣ ፍቀድልኝ እንዴትስ ትለዋለህ? እነሆም፥ በዓይንህ ምሰሶ አለ።
4 Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye;’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?
5አንተ ግብዝ፥ አስቀድመህ ከዓይንህ ምሰሶውን አውጣ፥ ከዚያም በኋላ ከወንድምህ ዓይን ጉድፉን ታወጣ ዘንድ አጥርተህ ታያለህ።
5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.
6በእግራቸው እንዳይረግጡት ተመልሰውም እንዳይነክሱአችሁ፥ የተቀደሰውን ለውሾች አትስጡ፥ ዕንቁዎቻችሁንም በእሪያዎች ፊት አትጣሉ።
6 “Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
7ለምኑ፥ ይሰጣችሁማል፤ ፈልጉ፥ ታገኙማላችሁ፤ መዝጊያን አንኳኩ፥ ይከፈትላችሁማል።
7 “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
8የሚለምነው ሁሉ ይቀበላልና፥ የሚፈልገውም ያገኛል፥ መዝጊያንም ለሚያንኳኳ ይከፈትለታል።
8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
9ወይስ ከእናንተ፥ ልጁ እንጀራ ቢለምነው፥ ድንጋይን የሚሰጠው ከእናንተ ማን ሰው ነው?
9 Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
10ዓሣስ ቢለምነው እባብን ይሰጠዋልን?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
11እንኪያስ እናንተ ክፉዎች ስትሆኑ ለልጆቻችሁ መልካም ስጦታ መስጠትን ካወቃችሁ፥ በሰማያት ያለው አባታችሁ ለሚለምኑት እንዴት አብልጦ መልካም ነገርን ይሰጣቸው?
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
12እንግዲህ ሰዎች ሊያደርጉላችሁ የምትወዱትን ሁሉ እናንተ ደግሞ እንዲሁ አድርጉላቸው፤ ሕግም ነቢያትም ይህ ነውና።
12 Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall 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 “Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.
14ወደ ሕይወት የሚወስደው ደጅ የጠበበ፥ መንገዱም የቀጠነ ነውና፥ የሚያገኙትም ጥቂቶች ናቸው።
14 How TR reads “Because” instead of “How” narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.
15የበግ ለምድ ለብሰው ከሚመጡባችሁ በውሥጣቸው ግን ነጣቂዎች ተኵላዎች ከሆኑ ከሐሰተኞች ነቢያት ተጠንቀቁ።
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
16ከፍሬያቸው ታውቋቸዋላችሁ። ከእሾህ ወይን ከኩርንችትስ በለስ ይለቀማልን?
16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17እንዲሁ መልካም ዛፍ ሁሉ መልካም ፍሬ ያደርጋል፥ ክፉም ዛፍ ክፉ ፍሬ ያደርጋል።
17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
18መልካም ዛፍ ክፉ ፍሬ ማፍራት፥ ወይም ክፉ ዛፍ መልካም ፍሬ ማፍራት አይቻለውም።
18 A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
19መልካም ፍሬ የማያደርግ ዛፍ ሁሉ ይቆረጣል ወደ እሳትም ይጣላል።
19 Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
20ስለዚህም ከፍሬያቸው ታውቋቸዋላችሁ።
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
21በሰማያት ያለውን የአባቴን ፈቃድ የሚያደርግ እንጂ፥ ጌታ ሆይ፥ ጌታ ሆይ፥ የሚለኝ ሁሉ መንግሥተ ሰማያት የሚገባ አይደለም።
21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22በዚያ ቀን ብዙዎች። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ጌታ ሆይ፥ በስምህ ትንቢት አልተናገርንምን፥ በስምህስ አጋንንትን አላወጣንምን፥ በስምህስ ብዙ ተአምራትን አላደረግንምን? ይሉኛል።
22 Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’
23የዚያን ጊዜም። ከቶ አላወቅኋችሁም፤ እናንተ ዓመፀኞች፥ ከእኔ ራቁ ብዬ እመሰክርባቸዋለሁ።
23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
24ስለዚህ ይህን ቃሌን ሰምቶ የሚያደርገው ሁሉ ቤቱን በዓለት ላይ የሠራ ልባም ሰውን ይመስላል።
24 “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.
25ዝናብም ወረደ ጎርፍም መጣ ነፋስም ነፈሰ ያንም ቤት ገፋው፥ በዓለት ላይም ስለ ተመሠረተ አልወደቀም።
25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26ይህንም ቃሌን ሰምቶ የማያደርገው ሰው ሁሉ ቤቱን በአሸዋ ላይ የሠራ ሰነፍ ሰውን ይመስላል።
26 Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.
27ዝናብም ወረደ ጎርፍም መጣ ነፋስም ነፈሰ ያንም ቤት መታው፥ ወደቀም፥ አወዳደቁም ታላቅ ሆነ።
27 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
28ኢየሱስም ይህን ነገር በጨረሰ ጊዜ ሕዝቡ በትምህርቱ ተገረሙ፤ እንደ ጻፎቻቸው ሳይሆን
28It happened, when Jesus had finished saying these things, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
29እንደ ባለ ሥልጣን ያስተምራቸው ነበርና።
29for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
