Matye 7
Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil
Piga youn kritike lòt
(Lik 6:37-38, 41-42)
7 Pa jije moun si ou pa vle Bondye jije w tou. 2 Sa ou sèvi pou jije lòt moun se avè l Bondye ap sèvi pou jije w. Jan ou trete lòt moun se kon sa Bondye ap trete w tou.
3 Poukisa ou wè ti pay ki nan je frè w la, epi ou pa wè bout bwa ki nan je pa w la? 4 Ki jan ou fè ka di frè ou: Frè m, kite m retire ti pay ki nan je w la. Alòske ou pa wè bout bwa ki nan je pa w la? 5 Ipokrit! Se bout bwa ki nan je w la pou ou retire anvan, apre sa ou ap wè klè pou retire ti pay ki nan je frè w la.
6 Pa voye bagay sakre devan chyen. Y ap vole sou ou epi dechire w. Pa voye bijou ki gen valè devan kochon. Sèl sa l konn pou l fè avè l se pilonnen l nan labou.
Mande Bondye sa w gen bezwen
(Lik 11:9-13)
7 Mande, epi Bondye ap ban nou. Chache, epi n ap jwenn. Frape, epi Bondye ap louvri pou nou. 8 Paske moun k ap mande ap resevwa. Moun k ap chache ap jwenn. Moun k ap frape y a louvri pou li.
9 Kilès nan tout papa yo ki la a k ap bay pitit li yon wòch si l mande l pen? 10 Ki lès k ap bay pitit li yon koulèv si l mande yon pwason? 11 Si nou menm ki mechan jan nou mechan an, nou konnen bon jan kado pou nou ofri pitit nou, ou pa bezwen mande si Papa nou ki nan syèl la ap bay moun ki mande l bon bagay.
Yon prensip ki vo plis pase lò
12 Tout sa ou ta renmen lòt moun fè pou ou, fè l pou yo tou, paske se sa menm lalwa Moyiz la ak pawòl pwofèt yo di.
Chwazi chemen ki pi piti a
(Lik 13:24)
13 Antre nan ti baryè piti a! Gwo baryè a louvri sou yon chemen laj. Chemen sa a mennen toudwat nan pèdisyon. Anpil moun gen tan pran chemen sa a. 14 Men ti baryè piti a louvri sou chemen ki mennen nan lavi a. Se sèlman yon ti ponyen moun ki pran chemen difisil sa a.
Aksyon w fè montre ki moun ou ye
(Lik 6:43-44; 13:25-27)
15 Fè atansyon ak fo pwofèt yo. Yo pran pòz ti mouton yo, men anndan se yon pakèt bèt fewòs yo ye. 16 Aksyon yo fè ap pèmèt nou idantifye yo aklè. Yo pa konn keyi rezen sou pye pikan! Yo pa konn ranmase fig sou touf pikan! 17 Menm jan an tou, yon bon pyebwa donnen bon fwi, yon move pyebwa donnen move fwi. 18 Yon bon pyebwa pa ka donnen move fwi, ni yon move pyebwa pa ka donnen bon fwi. 19 Depi yon pyebwa pa donnen bon fwi y ap koupe l, epi lage l nan dife. 20 Yo va rekonèt kalite yon moun pa mwayen sa l ap fè.
21 Se pa tout moun k ap di m Senyè! Senyè k ap antre nan wayòm syèl la. Men se sèlman moun ki fè volonte Papa m ki nan syèl la k ap antre. 22 Nan jou jijman an, anpil moun pral di: Senyè, Senyè èske nou pa t pwofetize nan non w? Èske nou pa t chase demon nan non ou? Èske nou pa t fè anpil mirak nan non ou? 23 Lè sa a m ap di yo klè: Kote m konnen nou! Rale kò nou sou mwen bann pechè pwofesyonèl.
De kalite moun
(Lik 6:47-49)
24 Se poutèt sa, nenpòt moun ki tande pawòl sa yo epi ki mete yo an pratik, li tankou yon nonm saj ki bati kay li sou karyann. 25 Lapli tonbe, larivyè desann, gwo van soufle vin frape kay la, men kay la kanpe fèm paske li bati sou karyann. 26 Men nenpòt moun ki tande pawòl sa yo epi ki pa mete yo an pratik, li tankou yon moun fou ki bati kay la sou sab. 27 Lapli tonbe, larivyè desann, gwo van soufle vin frape kay la, epi kay la tonbe plat.” 28 Lè Jezi te fin di pawòl sa yo, moun yo pa t manke sezi pou tande kijan l t ap anseye. 29 Jezi pa t anseye menm jan ak pwofesè lalwa yo, paske li te anseye avèk otorite.
Matthew 7
Amplified Bible
Judging Others
7 “[a]Do not judge and criticize and condemn [others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge], so that you will not be judged [unfairly]. 2 For just as you [hypocritically] judge others [when you are sinful and unrepentant], so will you be judged; and in accordance with your standard of measure [used to pass out judgment], judgment will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the [insignificant] speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice and acknowledge the [egregious] log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me get the speck out of your eye,’ when there is a log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite (play-actor, pretender), first get the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give that which is holy to [b]dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, for they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Prayer and the Golden Rule
7 “[c]Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you.(A) 8 For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will [instead] give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will [instead] give him a snake? 11 If you then, evil (sinful by nature) as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give what is good and advantageous to those who keep on asking Him.
12 “So then, in everything treat others the same way you want them to treat you, for this is [the essence of] the Law and the [writings of the] Prophets.
The Narrow and Wide Gates
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it.(B)
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of the false prophets, [teachers] who come to you dressed as sheep [appearing gentle and innocent], but inwardly are ravenous wolves.(C) 16 By their fruit you will recognize them [that is, by their contrived doctrine and self-focus]. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?(D) 17 Even so, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the unhealthy tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore, by their fruit you will recognize them [as false prophets].
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me [you are banished from My presence], you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].’(E)
The Two Foundations
24 “So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, will be like a wise man [a far-sighted, practical, and sensible man] who built his house on the rock.(F) 25 And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them, will be like a foolish (stupid) man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great and complete was its fall.”
28 When Jesus had finished [speaking] these words [on the mountain], the crowds were astonished and overwhelmed at His teaching; 29 for He was teaching them as one who had authority [to teach entirely of His own volition], and not as their scribes [who relied on others to confirm their authority].
Footnotes
- Matthew 7:1 This is not a prohibition of judgment, nor is it a command to stop using godly wisdom, common sense, and moral courage together with God’s written word to discern right from wrong, to distinguish between morality and immorality, and to judge doctrinal truth. There are many judgments that are not only legitimate, but are commanded (cf John 7:24; 1 Cor 5:5, 12; Gal 1:8, 9; 1 John 4:1-3; 2 John 10); however, you cannot judge another if you are committing the same type of sin.
- Matthew 7:6 In this verse “dogs” and “pigs” represent those who despise sacred things.
- Matthew 7:7 Here the use of Greek present imperatives (asking, seeking, knocking; vv 7, 8) emphasizes persistent, constant prayer.
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.
