Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Temunoonyanga Bisobyo ku Bannammwe
7 (A)“Temusalanga musango, nammwe muleme okusalirwa omusango. 2 (B)Kubanga nga bwe musalira abalala nammwe bwe mujjanga okusalirwa. Ekigera kye mugereramu, nammwe kye muligererwamu.”
3 “Ofaayo ki ku kasasiro akali ku liiso lya muganda wo so nga ku liryo kuliko kisiki kiramba? 4 Oyinza otya okugamba muganda wo nti, ‘Leka nkuggyeko akasasiro akakuli ku liiso,’ so nga ku liryo kuliko kisiki? 5 Munnanfuusi ggwe! Sooka oggyeko ekisiki ekiri ku liiso lyo olyoke olabe bulungi nga bw’oggyako akasasiro akali ku liiso lya muganda wo.”
6 “Temuddiranga bintu bitukuvu ne mubiwa embwa. N’embizzi temuzisuuliranga mayinja ag’omuwendo omungi, kubanga zigenda kugalinnyirira, n’oluvannyuma zikyuke zibalume.”
Musabe, munoonye, mweyanjule
7 (C)“Musabe, munaaweebwa. Munoonye, munaazuula. Era mukonkone munaggulirwawo. 8 (D)Kubanga buli asaba aweebwa, n’oyo anoonya, azuula, n’oyo akonkona aggulirwawo.”
9 “Oba muntu ki mu mmwe singa omwana we amusaba omugaati, ayinza okumuwa ejjinja? 10 Oba singa asabye ekyennyanja, kitaawe ayinza okumuwa omusota? 11 Obanga mmwe abantu ababi musobola okuwa abaana bammwe ebirabo ebirungi, Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisingawo okubawa ebirungi bye mumusaba? 12 (E)Noolwekyo ebintu byonna bye mwagala abantu okubakoleranga, nammwe mubibakoleranga, kubanga ebyo bye biri mu mateeka ne mu bunnabbi.”
Omulyango omufunda n’omugazi
13 (F)“Muyingirire mu mulyango omufunda! Kubanga ekkubo erigenda mu kuzikirira ddene n’omulyango mugazi, n’abalonda ekkubo eryo bangi. 14 Kubanga omulyango mufunda, n’ekkubo eridda eri obulamu ffunda, era n’abaliraba batono.”
Omuti n’Ebibala
15 (G)“Mwekuume abayigiriza ab’obulimba, abajja nga bambadde amaliba g’endiga, songa munda gy’emisege egigenda okubataagulataagula. 16 (H)Mulibalabira ku bikolwa byabwe, ng’omuti bwe mugutegeerera ku bibala byagwo. Omuntu tayinza kunoga mizabbibu ku busaana oba okunoga ettiini ku mweramannyo. 17 Noolwekyo buli muti omulungi gubala ebibala ebirungi, naye omuti omuvundu gubala ebibala ebibi. 18 Omuti omulungi teguyinza kubala bibala bibi, n’omuti omuvundu teguyinza kubala bibala birungi. 19 (I)Omuti gwonna ogutabala bibala birungi gutemebwa ne gusuulibwa mu muliro. 20 Noolwekyo mulibategeerera ku bibala byabwe.”
21 (J)“Si bonna abampita nti, ‘Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe,’ be baliyingira obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, wabula abo bokka abakola ebyo Kitange ali mu ggulu by’ayagala. 22 (K)Ku lunaku Iuli bangi baliŋŋamba nti, ‘Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe, twayogeranga eby’obunnabbi mu linnya lyo, era ne tugoba ne baddayimooni mu linnya lyo, ne tukola n’ebyamagero bingi mu linnya lyo.’ 23 (L)Ndibaddamu nti, ‘Sibamanyi, muve mu maaso gange, kubanga ebikolwa byammwe byali bibi.’ ”
Omuzimbi Omugezi n’atali Mugezi
24 (M)“Noolwekyo buli awulira ebigambo byange, n’abikola, alifaananyizibwa ng’omusajja ow’amagezi eyazimba enju ye ku lwazi. 25 Enkuba n’etonnya, emigga ne gikulukuta, omuyaga ne gujja, ne bikuba enju eyo naye n’etegwa kubanga yazimbibwa ku lwazi. 26 Naye buli awulira ebigambo byange n’atabikola, alifaananyizibwa ng’omusajja omusirusiru eyazimba ennyumba ye mu musenyu. 27 Enkuba n’etonnya, emigga ne gikulukuta, omuyaga ne gujja, ne bikuba ennyumba eyo, n’egwa, n’okugwa kwayo ne kuba kunene.”
28 (N)Awo Yesu n’amaliriza ebigambo bye ebyo. Abantu bonna ne beewuunya nnyo olw’okuyigiriza kwe. 29 Kubanga yabayigiriza nga nannyini buyinza, so si ng’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka baabwe bwe baayigirizanga.
Matthew 7
New King James Version
Do Not Judge(A)
7 “Judge[a] (B)not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what [b]judgment you judge, you will be judged; (C)and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 (D)And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 (E)“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking(F)
7 (G)“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For (H)everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 (I)Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, (J)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! 12 Therefore, (K)whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for (L)this is the Law and the Prophets.
The Narrow Way(M)
13 (N)“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 [c]Because narrow is the gate and [d]difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits(O)
15 (P)“Beware of false prophets, (Q)who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 (R)You will know them by their fruits. (S)Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, (T)every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 (U)Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
I Never Knew You(V)
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, (W)‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who (X)does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we (Y)not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And (Z)then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; (AA)depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Build on the Rock(AB)
24 “Therefore (AC)whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that (AD)the people were astonished at His teaching, 29 (AE)for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
