San Mateo 5
1 ANAE jalie si Jesus y linajyan taotao, cajulo gui un sabana, ya matachong; ya y disipuluña manmato guiya güiya.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a hillside. He sat down [in order to teach] his disciples. They came near to him [to listen to him].
2 Ya jababa y pachotña ya jafanagüe, ilegña:
Then he began to teach them by saying,
3 Mandichoso y mamoble gui Espiritu, sa uiyonñija y raenon langet.
[God] is pleased with people who recognize that they have a spiritual [need]; he will allow them to be the people whose lives he rules over.
4 Mandichoso y mantriste, sa sija umanafanmagof.
[God] is pleased with people who mourn [because they have sinned; ] they will be encouraged {he will encourage them.}
5 Mandichoso y manmanso, sa sija ufanmaereda ni y tano.
[God] is pleased with people who are meek; they will inherit the earth [that God will recreate].
6 Mandichoso y manñalang yan manmajo ni tininas, sa sija umanafanjaspog.
[God] is pleased with people who sincerely [desire to live] righteously [just like they] desire to eat and drink [MET]; they will be enabled {he will enable them} to do all that he desires [MET].
7 Mandichoso y manyóase, sa sija ufantinaca ni minaase.
[God] is pleased with people who act mercifully; he will act mercifully to them.
8 Mandichoso y mangasgas corasonñija, sa sija ujalie si Yuus.
[God] is pleased with people who think only about that which pleases him; [some day] they will [be where] God is and will see him.
9 Mandichoso y fumatitinas y pas, sa sija ufanmafanaan famaguon Yuus.
[God] is pleased with people who help other people to live peacefully; they will be considered to be {he will consider that they are} his children [MET].
10 Mandichoso y manmapetsigue pot causa y tininas; sa uiyonñija y raenon langet.
[God is pleased with] people to whom evil things are done {to whom [other people] do evil things} because they [conducted themselves] righteously; he will allow them to be where he rules over people.
11 Mandichoso jamyo, yaguin manmamatdise jamyo, yan manmapetsigue jamyo, yan manmasangane jamyo todo taelaye pot y naanjo, ya manmandague.
[God is pleased with] you when [other] people insult you, when [other people] do evil things to you and when [other people] say falsely [that] you are evil because [you believe in] me.
12 Fanmagof, ya infansenmagof, sa y premionmiyo gui langet sendangculo: sa taegüenaoja locue manmapetsigueñija y profeta sija ni y antes di jamyo.
[When that happens], rejoice and be glad [DOU], because [God will give] you a great reward in heaven. [God will think highly of you], just like [he thought highly of] the prophets whom your [ancestors persecuted] long ago.
13 Jamyo y asigan y tano; ya yaguin y asiga malingo y maaseña, jafa taemano manasne? taya baliña, na umayute juyong ya umagacha ni y taotao.
“You are [able to influence] evil [people] [MTY] [and improve the way they live in order that they do not become more evil, just like] salt [is able to improve the flavor of food and to preserve it] [MET] [from spoiling]. Salt that no longer tastes salty cannot become salty again [RHQ]. As a result, that salt becomes useless. It is rejected by people, thrown on the ground, and walked on {People reject it, throw it on the ground and walk on it} [MET]. [Similarly, if the way you live no longer influences people to live in a godly manner, God will reject you].
14 Jamyo y candet y tano. Y siuda ni maplanta gui jilo y tano táquilo ti siña umatog.
You [enable] evil [people] [MTY] [to perceive God’s truth as] a light [enables people to perceive what is around them. Just like] everyone can see [LIT] [the lights of] a city on a hill [MET], [other people can see what you do].
15 Taya candet umasonggue ya umapolo gui papa un medida; lao umapolo gui candelero, ya umanainina todo y mangaegue gui jalom guma.
After people light a lamp, they never put it under a basket. Instead, [they put it] on a lampstand in their houses in order that it can shine on everyone there.
16 Polo ya umanina y candetmiyo gui menan y taotao sija, para ujalie y mauleg chechonmiyo, ya innamagof y tatanmiyo ni y gaegue gui langet.
[Similarly], you need to do [what is right] [MET] in such a manner that other people can see the good deeds that you do, and as a result they will praise your Father [who is] in heaven.”
17 Chamiyo jumajaso na mato yo para juyulang y tinago pat y profeta sija; ti mato yo para juyulang, lao para jucumple.
“I came to earth, not to annul the laws [that God gave Moses] or [what] the prophets [MTY] [wrote]. Instead, I [came] to cause to happen [what the authors of those books predicted would happen]. So do not think any longer that I have come [to earth] in order that I might annul [what they wrote].
18 Sa magajet jusangane jamyo, nu y langet yan y tano ufalingo; lao ni un punto ni un pongpong gui tinago ufalingo, asta qui güiya todo macumple.
Keep this in mind: [Every] point of those laws, [including those points that seem] least important, and even the smallest details of the laws [MTY] will surely be in effect [HYP, LIT] until the heavens and the earth disappear and until all [that God told their authors to write] happens.
19 Ya jayeja y yumulang uno güine gui sendiquique na tinago, ya mamanagüe ni taotao, diquique umafanaan gui raenon langet; lao jayeja y fumatinas ya mamanagüe umafanaan dangculo gui raenon langet.
Since [all God’s laws are important], if anyone disobeys any of those commandments, [even if it would be] one of the least [important ones], and if that person teaches people [to disobey any of those commandments], it will be said {[God] will say} that that person is the least [important] of those in the place where [EUP] God rules. But those who obey [those commandments] and teach [other people to obey them, it will be said] {[God] will say} that they are very important among those that God rules.
20 Sa guajo sumangane jamyo: na y tininasmiyo yaguin ti mudongña qui y tininas y escriba yan y Fariseo sija, ti siña jamyo manjalom gui raenon langet.
Keep this in mind: [You assume that] the Pharisees and the men who teach our laws [faithfully obey] what God commands. But if you do not obey those laws better than they obey them, you will by no means enter the place where God rules.”
21 Injingogja y munjayan masangane sija gui manmalofan na tiempo: Chamo famumuno, ya jayeja y mamuno, peligroña gui juisio.
“You have heard [your religious teachers say] that it was said {that [Moses] said} to your ancestors, ‘Do not murder [anyone.’ This implied that] if someone murders [another person], the judge will condemn that person [and] sentence him to be [executed] {[say that someone must execute him]}.
22 Lao guajo sumangane jamyo na jayeja y lalalo ni cheluña, peligroña gui juisio, na jayeja y umalog ni cheluña, taetiningo jao, peligroña gui tribunal, lao jayeja y umalog bababa jao, peligroña gui guafen sasalaguan. (Geenna g1067)
But what I say to you is this: [If you are] angry with someone, [God] will judge you. If you say to someone, ‘[You are worthless],’ the Jewish Council will judge you. If you [hate someone], and say to them 'You fool!' you. yourself, will be in danger of being thrown into the fires in hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 Yaguin unchule y ninaimo guato gui attat, ya ayo nae unjaso na guaja linachimo gui chelumo;
So, when you take your gift [for God] to the altar, if you remember that you have offended someone,
24 Polo güije y ninaimo gui menan y attat, ya unjanao finena ya inatungo yan y chelumo, ya ayo nae untalo guato ya unnaenñaejon y ninaimo.
leave your gift by the altar, and first go [to the person you have offended]. Tell that person that you are sorry for what you have done, and ask that person to forgive you. Then go back and offer your gift [to God].
25 Atungo yan y contrariumo enseguidas, mientros gaegue jamyo gui chalanmiyo, noseaja, y cotrariumo unenentrega gui jues, ya y jues unenentrega gui ofisiat ya unmapolo gui preso.
[Also], when a fellow citizen [takes you to court in order to] accuse you, settle accounts with that person quickly while you are walking with that person [to court]. Do that [while there still is time to do so] in order that he will not take you to the judge, [because if] the judge [favors the person who is accusing you, he will declare that you are guilty and send you] to the prison guard, and the prison guard will put you in prison.
26 Magajet jusangane jamyo: Seguro na ti unjuyong güije, asta qui anapase y uttimo na coble.
Keep this in mind: [If you go to prison], you will never get out [because you will never be able to] pay all that the judge says that you owe [MET]. [And remember also that] you [ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
27 Injingogja y munjayan masangan: Munga umábale,
“You have heard [God’s] commandment, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
28 Ya guajo sumangane jamyo, na jayeja y umatan y palaoan nu ábale na minalagoña, jafatinas yan güiya y ábale gui jalom corasonña.
But what I say to you is this: If a man only looks at a woman desiring to have sex with her, [God considers that] his doing that [MET] is sin.
29 Yaguin y agapa na atadogmo uninapodong jao, chule ya yute guiya jago; sa maulegña na ufalingo un pidaso guiya jago, qui todo y tataotaomo umayute guiya sasalaguan. (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY] you [are tempted to] sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it!] It is good [that you not sin and] as a result [go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both of] your eyes. But it is not good [that you continue to have two eyes and sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Ya yaguin y agapa na canaemo uninapodong jao, utut ya yute guiya jago; sa maulegña, na ufalingo un pidaso guiya jago, qui todo y tataotaomo umayute guiya sasalagüan. (Geenna g1067)
If you are [tempted to] use one of your hands to sin [MTY], [stop using your hand. Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you do not sin and as a result you go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both] of your [hands]. But it is not good [that you sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell.” (Geenna g1067)
31 Munjayan locue masangan: Jayeja y dumingo y asaguaña, umatugue y papet y inapattan umasagua.
“It is written {[Moses] wrote}, ‘If a man is divorcing his wife, he should write a document [on which he states that he is] divorcing her.’
32 Lao guajo sumangane jamyo, na y dumingo y asaguaña ya ti pot inábale, jafatinas y ábale; ya jayeja y umasagua ayo y umadingo, jafatinas y ábale.
But [now listen to what] I say to you: [A man] may [divorce his wife] only if she has committed adultery, [and not for any other reason]. If a man divorces his wife [for any other reason, and he has sex with another woman], he makes his wife become one against whom he has committed adultery, [because in God’s estimation she still is his wife]. Also, if a man marries a woman who is divorced {whose husband has divorced her}, [God considers] him [guilty of] committing adultery.”
33 Injingogja locue y munjayan masangane sija gui manmalofan na tiempo: Munga manjula pot namaesa jao; lao unfatinas ni y Señot gui jinilamo.
“You have also heard [your religious teachers say] that it was written {that [Moses] wrote} to your ancestors, ‘Make sure that you do what you promised the Lord that you would do!’ [DOU]
34 Lao guajo sumangane jamyo: Chamiyo fanmanjujula pot jafa; ti pot y langet, sa raenon Yuus;
But [now listen to what] I say to you: Never promise to do anything and then ask a superior being to affirm [that what you are saying will happen. For example, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings in] heaven [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because heaven is where God [sits] on his throne [MTY] [to rule over people].
35 Ni pot y tano, sa sagan y adengña; ni pot Jerusalem, sa siuda y dangculo na Ray;
[Also, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings] on earth [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because the earth is where God rests his feet [MET]. [Also, do] not [promise that you will do something and ask religious authorities] in Jerusalem [to affirm that you will do it], because Jerusalem is the city where [God], the great King [rules].
36 Ni pot y ilumo unfanjula; sa ti siña y gaponulo uno naapaca, ni uno naatulong.
[Also, do not promise that you will do something and then say that] your head [should be cut off] {[someone should cut off] your head} [if you do not do it]. You are not [even] able to [change the color of the hair of your head by] making one [black] hair white or one [white] hair black.
37 Lao yaguin manguentos jamyo, alog: Junggan, junggan; Aje, aje; sa yaguin mas qui este, taelaye jumuyong.
[If you talk about doing something], just say ‘Yes, I [will do it],’ or ‘No, I [will not do it].’ [If you say] anything more than that, it is from [Satan], the Evil One.”
38 Injingogja y munjayan masangan: Atadog yan atadog, nifen yan nifen,
“You have heard [your religious teachers say] that [it is written] {[Moses wrote]}, ‘[Retaliate like this]: [If someone damages] one of your eyes, [someone should damage] one of that person’s eyes. [If someone damages] one of your teeth, [someone should damage] one of that person’s teeth.’
39 Lao guajo sumangane jamyo: Chamiyo fumatinas jafa contra y tinaelaye; yaguin jayejao pumatmada gui agapa na fasumo, birayeja ni y otro.
But [now listen to what] I say to you: Do not take revenge for evil [deeds done] {[that other people do]} [to you]. Instead, if someone [insults you by] striking you on one cheek, turn your other cheek toward that person [in order that he can strike it also].
40 Ya jayeja y munaquequemumojao ya jachule y magagomo, nae locue y capamo.
If someone wants to sue you and take your (inner garment/shirt), give him your (outer garment/coat) also.
41 Ya jayeja y umafuetsas jao na unjanao yan güiya un miya; unjanao yan güiya dos.
If a [military authority] compels you to go with him one mile [and carry his gear], go with him two miles [and carry his gear].
42 Y gumagao jao, nae; ya y mumalago umayao jao, chamo jao rumiuusa.
Also, if someone asks you for [something], give [him what he is asking for]. If someone requests you to lend him [something], do not refuse [to lend it to him].”
43 Injingogja y munjayan masangan: Guaeya y tiguangmo ya chatlie y enemigomo.
“You have heard [your religious teachers say that it is written that Moses wrote], ‘Love the citizens of your country and hate your enemies.’
44 Lao guajo sumangane jamyo: Guaeya y enemigonmiyo; bendise y mumatdidise jamyo; fantinas mauleg ni y chumatlie jamyo, tayuyute sija as Yuus ni y munamamajlao jamyo yan y pumetsigue jamyo,
But [now listen to what] I say to you: Love your enemies [as well as your friends], and pray for those who cause you to suffer.
45 Para infanfamaguon y tatanmiyo ni y gaegue gui langet, nu y janafanina y atdao gui jilo y manaelaye yan y manmauleg; ya janauchan gui jilo y manunas yan y timanunas.
Do that in order to imitate what [God], your Father [who is] in heaven, does. He desires that you [MET] do [like he does]. [He acts kindly to all people. For example, he causes] the sun to shine [equally] on wicked [people] and on good [people], and [he sends] rain [both] on righteous [people] and on unrighteous [people].
46 Sa yaguin inguaeya ayo y gumaeya jamyo, jafa premionmiyo? Ada ti jafatinas locue taegüenao y publicano sija?
If you love [only] the people who love you, ([do not expect God to] reward you [in heaven]!/will [God] reward you [in heaven]?) [RHQ] [This is based on the fact that everyone], even the tax collectors, [who you think are very great sinners], love [RHQ] those who love them. [If you act like them], ([you are not any different from tax collectors!/in what way are you different from tax collectors]?) [RHQ]
47 Yaguin unsaluda y mañelunmiyo, jafa unfatinas mauleg? Ada ti jafatinas locue taegüenao y ti mangilisyano?
If you want [God] to bless only your friends, (you are not acting any better than other people!/are you acting any better than other people?) [RHQ] Even the non-Jews, [who you think sin very much] (OR, [you think are unacceptable to God]), want God to bless their friends [RHQ], [but God does not reward them for that].
48 Nafangabales jamyo taegüije y tatanmiyo ni y gaegue gui langet, cabales.
[You need to love those who do not love you], and in that way become perfect as [God] your Father, [who is] in heaven, is perfect.”
