Matthew 7

7 ¹“No dey judge pesin, so dat dem no go judge you. ²Bicos di same judgment wey you take judge, na im dem go take judge you, and di measure wey you give, na im dem go take measure give you. ³Why you dey look di small speck for your brother im eye, but you no see di big log wey dey your own eye? ⁴Or how you fit tell your brother sey, ‘Make I comot di speck for your eye,’ wen big log dey your own eye? ⁵You hypocrite, comot di log for your own eye first; den you go see well-well to comot di speck for your brother im eye.

⁶“No give dog wetin holy, no throw your pearl give pig—dem go step am for ground, den turn come tear you.

Papa Dey Give Those Wey Dey Ask

⁷“Ask, and you go receive am; find, and you go see; knock, and dem go open am for you. ⁸Bicos everybody wey dey ask dey receive, and pesin wey dey find dey see, and pesin wey dey knock, dem go open am for am. ⁹Or which pesin among una, wey im pikin ask am for bread, go give am stone? ¹⁰Or if im ask for fish, go give am snake? ¹¹So if una wey dey evil sabi how to give una pikin good gift, how much more your Papa wey dey for heaven go give good tin give those wey dey ask am?

¹²“So for everytin, do pesin di way wey you want make dem do you; bicos na dis be di Law and di Prophets.

¹³“Enter through di narrow gate, bicos di gate wide, di road broad, wey dey lead go destruction, and plenty pesin dey enter through am. ¹⁴But di gate narrow, di road tight, wey dey lead go life; na small pesin dey find am.

You Go Know Dem By Dia Fruit

¹⁵“Open eye for fake prophet: dem dey come you like sheep for outside, but na wicked wolf dem be for inside. ¹⁶By dia fruit una go know dem. Dem dey gather grape from thornbush, or fig from thistle? ¹⁷Na so, every good tree dey bear good fruit, but bad tree dey bear bad fruit. ¹⁸Good tree no fit bear bad fruit, and bad tree no fit bear good fruit. ¹⁹Every tree wey no dey bear good fruit, dem go cut am down throway inside fire. ²⁰So den, by dia fruit una go know dem.

Na Only Those Wey Dey Do Wetin Papa Want

²¹“Na no be everybody wey dey call me, ‘Oga, Oga,’ go enter di kingdom of our Papa, but na pesin wey dey do wetin my Papa wey dey for heaven want. ²²Plenty pesin go tell me for dat day, ‘Oga, Oga, no be for your name we prophesy, and drive comot demon for your name, and do plenty miracle for your name?’ ²³Den I go tell dem plain-plain: ‘I never know una at all; comot for my front, una wey dey break law.’

Build For Ontop Di Rock

²⁴“So anybody wey hear dis my words come do dem, go be like wise man wey build im house for ontop di rock. ²⁵Rain fall, flood come, wind blow beat dat house, but e no fall, bicos e stand for ontop rock. ²⁶And anybody wey hear dis my words but no do dem, go be like foolish man wey build im house for ontop sand. ²⁷Rain fall, flood come, wind blow hit dat house, and e fall—and na big-big fall e fall.”

²⁸Wen Jesus don finish talk dis words, di crowd wonder well-well for im teaching, ²⁹bicos im dey teach dem like pesin wey get authority, no be like dia scribes.
