Matiyu 5
1 Ni to gbugbu ndi ba, a hon hi ngblu ri ni kuson ma mrli koh ma baka ye ni wu.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the mountain. And when he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 Ka bwu nyu ma nda tsro ba nda tre:
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 Lulu ahi u bi ya ni brji didi, ikoh shulu ahi u mba.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Lulu ahi u bi yiqu, e ba nno ba sisron.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Bi lulu ba bi wa bana nzu tu na, ba nji meme u ngbugblu.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Bi lulu ba bi tie yon nda tie hlama zizi, e ba wrji.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Bi lulu ba bi lo sron e ba kpa lo sron me.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
8 Bi lulu babi wa isron mba a kheklan me e ba toh rji.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Bi lulu ba bi wa ba wa sonsi, e ba yo ba mrli Rji.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10 Bi lulu ba ba wa ba tie ba ya nitu zizi mba, e ikoh shulu ahi u mba.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Bi lulu a biyi wa bati mre yi nda tieyi ya, nda wa meme tre nicece wu yiwu ni tu mu,
Blessed are you when others reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
12 Ngri di briku kpukpome, e bi he ni kickle dii ni shulu, e bati ni anabawa bi sen nakii.
Rejoice and be glad, for great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 Bi mah u ngbungblu, u mah nita tie meme u ani la u tie gye garli? Ana la bi utie kpie na, ahi u ka hlega u ndi baka canwu niza.
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt loses its flavor, with what shall it be seasoned? It is no longer fit for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
14 Bi kpan u ngbungbu. Igbu wa ba mewu ni tu ngblu'a ana riri na.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden,
15 U bana yo lu ni fitila nda kayo ni sisen na di ba kauzi tsame nitu kukron ma wani nno kpan ni ndi bi koha wawuu.
nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines for all who are in the house.
16 Ndu kpan me shan tsro ndi, di ndu ba to ibi ndu me nda gbire tieme wa ahe ni shu'a san.
Let your light shine before others in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
17 Na tamre di meye kpa nji tre anabawa ba tie meme na. Mi naye kpa tie meme na, mi ye tie wu tsra.
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
18 Njanjimu, me hla yiwu, shulu mba ngbungblu ba tana kle na, ikpie riri me ni nji tre'a na joku megyen na, ba ku tsra.
For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter or stroke of a letter will by any means pass from the law until all is accomplished.
19 Indi wa a kunyre ni ri u nklekyen nji tre'a nda tsro ba ni ndi, ani vi nklekyen ma ni ikoh u shulu, u iwa ani hu nda tsro ba, ba yo ndi kiekle ni koh u shulu.
Therefore whoever does away with one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 To mesi hla yiwu din, zizi me nita na nna' zizi bi nha ni Farisawa na bi na he nkon u ri ni koh u shulu na.
For I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
21 Bi wo ndi ba tre ni ndi bi sen, 'Na wu na, u indi wa a wu-a, ahe ni nyu ya'u shariya.
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘Yoʋ shall not murder,’ and, ‘Whoever murders will be subject to judgment.’
22 Me wa yiwu ndi iwa a tie nfu ni vayi ma hama ni kpie wa anno nfu'a a si gbyen shariya. U indi wa a hla ni vayi ma, 'Racah!' a si gbyen tre ni tuma. Iwa a hla ndi, 'Ruru' asi hi kpentren lu. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you that everyone who is rashly angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Yoʋ idiot,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. And whoever says, ‘Yoʋ fool,’ will be subject to the fires of hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 Uti ye' nno kpie ni tra Rji, ndi taka vayi me ahe ni tre ni tu me'a,
So if yoʋ are offering yoʋr gift at the altar and there remember that yoʋr brother has something against yoʋ,
24 U ka donme ni nno' kpie'a ni tra Rji, ndi hi mla kpambi tie mbi vayi me rli ndi ye nno' kpiea.
leave yoʋr gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to yoʋr brother, and then come and offer yoʋr gift.
25 Mlatie kpa y'me ni ndi wa a nji wu hi ni bi bla tre gbagbla, Ka'bi he nkon sihi mbi wu ni bla tre'a, ni ndu bana lowu na.
Make friends with yoʋr adversary quickly while yoʋ are on the way with him, lest yoʋr adversary hand yoʋ over to the judge, and the judge hand yoʋ over to the guard, and yoʋ be thrown into prison.
26 Njanjinmu, me hla yiwu, biti hanwu kle wawuu rliko ka kayi cuwo.
Truly I say to yoʋ, yoʋ will certainly not come out of there until yoʋ have paid the last penny.
27 “Biwo' din ba hla ni bi sen, 'una tsi wa lilon ko wa mba tankpan na'.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Yoʋ shall not commit adultery.’
28 Mi wa yiwu, indi wa ani kaya wa' ni mew u tohwu ka a kruu ye ni mi sron ma.
But I say to you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Shishi ko rli anita ni ndu latre, uka krewu rju taga; a bi ndu nhama kpa ri ndu tiw meme niwa ikpa'a wawuu ndu tie memela. (Geenna g1067)
So if yoʋr right eye causes yoʋ to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from yoʋ. For it is better for yoʋ to have one of yoʋr members perish, than for yoʋr whole body to be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 U iwo me koeli nita ni ndu latre, uka sren wurju kpame; abi nna ndu nhama kpa ri ndu tie meme niwa ikpa'a wawuu ndu rii ni lu'. (Geenna g1067)
And if yoʋr right hand causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from yoʋ. For it is better for yoʋ to have one of yoʋr members perish, than for yoʋr whole body to be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 A kru hi me, ba hla di ndi wa a wuugran ni wama'a, ka nno imbe u wu gran a.
“It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
32 To, mi hla yiwu di indi wa wu gran wamaa, wana he ni tu tie tankpan na, to a yo wu ni latre tie tankpan, u ndi wa a gran wa bi wa ki a latre u kru tankpan.
But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, apart from a matter of fornication, makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
33 “Ganli, biwo ikpie wa ba hla ni ndi bi sen a, 'Bi na' shi' rji' uce na, ndu tre mbi ta he u Rji'.
“Again, you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘Yoʋ shall not break an oath, but shall keep yoʋr oaths to the Lord.’
34 Mi hla yiwu, na shi rji memle muna ko ni shulu iki ahi ruron (kpanci) u Rji;
But I say to you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 Ko ni meme, iki ahe ni ndaza ma; ko ni Urushalima, wa ahi kiekle gbu u Ichu rligra.
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Ko Bina shi'rji' ni tuh' mbi na, e na to tie nfu tuh mbi ndu kinklan ko shinji na.
Neither shall yoʋ swear by yoʋr head, for yoʋ cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Ndu 'e mbi ndu'e u a'an mbi ndu a'an ani ta zan towa, ka hi u brji.
But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No’; for whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
38 Bi wo wa ba hla shishi ni rjuhla shishi u ba rjula inyren ni nyren.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
39 To, mi hla yiwu na gbi sron ni meme ndi na to ba tana wruu ni nhma korli, uka kma irima nno ngame.
But I say to you, do not resist one who is evil. Rather, if anyone slaps yoʋ on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Iri mbi ni ta ni son mrlen yi nda kpa klon mbi ri, mbi ka nno wu ri nhatia.
If anyone wants to sue yoʋ and take away yoʋr tunic, let him have yoʋr cloak also.
41 U indi wa a vuyi ndu yi zren mili rii mbi ka zren hu tie mir harli.
And if anyone presses yoʋ into service for one mile, go with him two.
42 Nno biwa ba mye yia, u waa mye yi hlaa mbi ka na ka ngon tie wu na.
Give to everyone who asks of yoʋ, and do not turn away from anyone who wants to borrow from yoʋ.
43 Biwo wa ba' hla, 'U son vayi me ndi kame ni wa a kranwu'.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor and hate yoʋr enemy.’
44 To me hla yiwu, son bi kran yi, tie lulu ni bi wa ba tie nyu yiwu a tie zizi ni bi wa ba fu' sron niyi a, din bre Rji ni bi wa ba tie yi meme ni ya'.
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
45 Di ndu yi he mrli tie mbi wa he shu a: waa ani ndu rji ma kpan ni meme ndi mba indi didi, nda ndu ilu kuh ni ndi wa a to Rji ni wa ama to Rjia na.
so that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 To, uti son bi sonwu, a ngye didi utie? Bi kpa ban bana tie toki me na?
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 U bita ci mrli vayi mbi me gyen, u bi tie ngyeri wa a nna u ba ri a? Bi kpa ban bana tie toki me na?
And if you greet only your friends, what are you doing that is out of the ordinary? Do not even the tax collectors do that?
48 Naayi, bi he tsartsar me na tie mbi u shulu wa a tsartsar me a.
You therefore shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
