Mateyu 5
1 Iye ataona anthu ambiri, anakwera pa phiri nakhala pansi. Ndipo ophunzira ake anabwera kwa Iye,
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 ndipo anayamba kuwaphunzitsa kuti,
He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 “Odala ndi amene ali osauka mu mzimu, chifukwa ufumu wakumwamba ndi wawo.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Odala ndi amene ali achisoni, chifukwa adzatonthozedwa.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Odala ndi amene ali ofatsa, chifukwa adzalandira dziko lapansi.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Odala ndi amene akumva njala ndi ludzu la chilungamo, chifukwa adzakhutitsidwa.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Odala ndi amene ali ndi chifundo, chifukwa adzawachitira chifundo.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 Odala ndi amene ali oyera mtima, chifukwa adzaona Mulungu.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Ndi odala amene amabweretsa mtendere, chifukwa adzatchedwa ana a Mulungu.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10 Odala ndi amene akuzunzidwa chifukwa cha chilungamo, pakuti ufumu wakumwamba ndi wawo.”
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Inu ndinu odala anthu akamakunyozani, kukuzunzani, kukunenerani zoyipa zilizonse ndi kukunamizirani chifukwa cha Ine.
Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely for my sake.
12 Sangalalani, kondwerani chifukwa mphotho yanu ndi yayikulu kumwamba, chifukwa moterenso ndi mmene anazunzira aneneri inu musanabadwe.
Rejoice and be very glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For in this way people persecuted the prophets who lived before you.
13 “Inu ndinu mchere wa dziko lapansi. Koma ngati mcherewo usukuluka, adzawukometsanso ndi chiyani? Ulibenso ntchito koma kungowutaya kunja, anthu nawuponda.
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again? It is never again good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
14 “Inu ndinu kuwunika kwa dziko lapansi. Mzinda wa pa phiri sungathe kubisika.
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Anthu sayatsa nyale ndikuyivundikira ndi mbiya, mʼmalo mwake amayika poonekera ndipo imawunikira onse mʼnyumbamo.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but rather on the lampstand, and it shines for everyone in the house.
16 Momwemonso kuwunika kwanu kuwale pamaso pa anthu kuti aone ntchito zanu zabwino ndi kulemekeza Atate anu akumwamba.
Let your light shine before people in such a way that they see your good deeds and praise your Father who is in heaven.
17 “Musaganize kuti ndinadza kudzathetsa malamulo kapena zonena za aneneri; sindinabwere kudzathetsa koma kukwaniritsa.
Do not think that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets. I have come not to destroy them, but to fulfill them.
18 Ine ndikukuwuzani zoonadi kuti, kufikira kutha kwa thambo ndi dziko lapansi, chilichonse chimene chinalembedwa mʼmalamulo, ngakhale kalemba kakangʼonongʼono, chidzakwaniritsidwa.
For truly I say to you that until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things have been accomplished.
19 Chifukwa chake aliyense amene aphwanya limodzi la malamulowa ngakhale lalingʼonongʼono ndi kuphunzitsa ena kuti achite chimodzimodzi, adzakhala wotsirizira mu ufumu wakumwamba, koma aliyense amene achita ndi kuphunzitsa malamulo awa adzakhala wamkulu mu ufumu wakumwamba.
Therefore whoever breaks the least one of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Chifukwa chake ndikuwuzani kuti ngati chilungamo chanu sichiposa cha Afarisi ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo, zoonadi, simudzalowa mu ufumu wakumwamba.
For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will in no way enter the kingdom of heaven.
21 “Munamva kuti kunanenedwa kwa anthu kale kuti, ‘Usaphe ndipo kuti aliyense amene apha munthu adzaweruzidwa.’
You have heard that it was said to them in ancient times, 'Do not kill,' and, 'Whoever kills will be in danger of the judgment.'
22 Koma Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti aliyense wokwiyira mʼbale wake adzapezeka wolakwa ku bwalo la milandu. Ndiponso aliyense amene wonena mʼbale wake kuti, ‘Ndiwe wopanda phindu,’ adzapezeka wolakwa ku bwalo la milandu lalikulu. Ndipo aliyense amene anganene mnzake ‘wopandapake’ adzatengeredwa ku bwalo la milandu. Ndiponso aliyense amene angamunene mnzake kuti, ‘Chitsiru iwe,’ adzaponyedwa ku gehena. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of the judgment; and whoever says to his brother, 'You worthless person!' will be in danger of the council; and whoever says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Nʼchifukwa chake, pamene ukupereka chopereka chako pa guwa lansembe ndipo nthawi yomweyo ukumbukira kuti mʼbale wako ali nawe chifukwa,
Therefore if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 usiye choperekacho pa guwa lansembepo, choyamba pita kayanjane ndi mʼbale wako; ukatero bwera kudzapereka chopereka chakocho.
leave your gift there in front of the altar, and go on your way. First be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 “Fulumira kuyanjana ndi mnzako amene unamulakwira nthawi ya milandu isanafike chifukwa angakupereke kwa oweruza amene angakupereke kwa mlonda ndipo mlondayo angakutsekere mʼndende.
Agree with your accuser quickly while you are with him on the way to court, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.
26 Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuza kuti sudzatuluka mʼndende mpaka utalipira zonse.
Truly I say to you, you will never come out from there until you have paid the last bit of money you owe.
27 “Munamva kuti kunanenedwa kuti, ‘Usachite chigololo.’
You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'
28 Koma Ine ndikuwuzani kuti aliyense woyangʼana mkazi momusirira wachita naye kale chigololo mu mtima mwake.
But I say to you that everyone who looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Ngati diso lako lakumanja likuchimwitsa, ulichotse ndi kulitaya. Pakuti nʼkwabwino kwa iwe kutaya chiwalo chimodzi cha thupi lako, kusiyana ndi kuti thupi lonse liponyedwe mʼgehena. (Geenna g1067)
If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your body parts should perish than that your whole body should be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Ndipo ngati dzanja lako lamanja likuchimwitsa, ulidule ndi kulitaya. Pakuti nʼkwabwino kwa iwe kutaya chiwalo chimodzi cha thupi lako, kusiyana ndi kuti thupi lonse liponyedwe mʼgehena. (Geenna g1067)
If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your body parts should perish than that your whole body should go into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Ananena kuti, ‘Aliyense wosudzula mkazi wake ayenera amupatse kalata ya chisudzulo.’
It was also said, 'Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'
32 Koma Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti aliyense amene asudzula mkazi wake pa chifukwa china chilichonse osati chifukwa cha chiwerewere, akumuchititsa mkaziyo chigololo ndipo aliyense wokwatira mkaziyo, akuchitanso chigololo.
But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress. Whoever marries her after she has been divorced commits adultery.
33 “Munamvanso kuti kunanenedwa kwa anthu akale kuti, ‘Musaphwanye lonjezo; koma sungani malonjezo anu amene mwachita kwa Yehova.’
Again, you have heard that it was said to those in ancient times, 'Do not swear a false oath, but carry out your oaths to the Lord.'
34 Koma ndikuwuzani kuti musalumbire ndi pangʼono pomwe kutchula kumwamba chifukwa kuli mpando waufumu wa Mulungu.
But I say to you, swear not at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 Kapena kutchula dziko lapansi, chifukwa ndi chopondapo mapazi ake; kapena kutchula Yerusalemu, chifukwa ndi mzinda wa mfumu yayikulu.
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool for his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Ndipo musalumbire ndi mutu wanu chifukwa simungathe kuyeretsa ngakhale kudetsa tsitsi limodzi.
Neither swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Koma ‘Inde’ wanu akhaledi ‘Inde’ kapena ‘Ayi’ wanu akhaledi ‘Ayi,’ chilichonse choposera apa, chichokera kwa woyipayo.
But let your speech be 'Yes, yes,' or 'No, no.' Anything that is more than this is from the evil one.
38 “Munamva kuti, ‘Diso kulipira diso ndi dzino kulipira dzino.’
You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
39 Koma ndikuwuzani kuti musamukanize munthu woyipa, akakumenya patsaya mupatseni tsaya linalo.
But I say to you, do not resist one who is evil. Instead, whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Ndipo ngati wina afuna kukuzenga mlandu kuti akulande malaya ako, umupatsenso mkanjo wako.
If anyone wishes to go to court with you and takes away your coat, let that person also have your cloak.
41 Ngati wina akukakamiza kuti uyende naye mtunda umodzi, iwe uyende naye mitunda iwiri.
Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Wina akakupempha kanthu umupatse, ndipo wofuna kubwereka usamukanize.
Give to anyone who asks you, and do not turn away from anyone who wishes to borrow from you.
43 “Munamva kuti, ‘Konda mnansi wako ndi kudana ndi mdani wako.’
You have heard that it was said, 'You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44 Koma Ine ndikuwuzani kuti, ‘Kondani adani anu ndi kuwapempherera okuzunzani
But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 kuti mukhale ana a Atate anu akumwamba, amene awalitsa dzuwa lake pa oyipa ndi pa abwino, nagwetsa mvula pa olungama ndi pa osalungama.’
so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
46 Ngati mukonda amene akukondani inu, mudzapeza mphotho yanji? Kodi ngakhale amisonkho sachita chimodzimodzi?
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you get? Do not even the tax collectors do the same thing?
47 Ndipo ngati inu mupatsa moni abale anu okhaokha mukuchita chiyani choposa ena? Kodi ngakhale akunja sachita chimodzimodzi?
If you greet only your brothers, what do you do more than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same thing?
48 Nʼchifukwa chake, inu khalani angwiro monga Atate anu akumwamba ali wangwiro.”
Therefore you must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
