< Matayo 5 >

1 Che Yesu paŵauweni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakwesile pa chitumbi ni kutama. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajaulile,
And seeing the multitudes, He went up into the mountain; and having sat down, His disciples came to Him.
2 nombewo ŵatandite kwajiganya.
And having opened His mouth He taught them, saying;
3 “Akwete upile ŵele ŵakwakulupilila Akunnungu, pakuŵa umwenye wa kwinani uli wao.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
4 Akwete upile ŵele ŵakulilasika muntima, pakuŵa chatulaswe.
Blessed are the meek, because they shall inherit the earth.
5 Akwete upile ŵele ŵakulitimalika, pakuŵa chapochele chilanga cha Akunnungu.
Blessed are they that mourn: because they shall be comforted.
6 Akwete upile ŵele ŵajakwete sala ni njota ja kupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, pakuŵa Akunnungu chachajikutisya.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: because they shall be filled.
7 Akwete upile ŵaali ni chanasa kwa ŵane, pakuŵa chachikolelwa chanasa.
Blessed are the merciful: because they shall receive mercy.
8 Akwete upile ŵaali ni ntima wambone, pakuŵa chachawona Akunnungu.
Blessed are the pure in heart: because they shall see God.
9 Akwete upile ŵakwalumbanya ŵandu, pakuŵa ŵanyawo chachiŵilanjikwa ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu.
Blessed are the peacemakers: because they shall be called the sons of God.
10 Akwete upile ŵele ŵakusaukanga ligongo lya kupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, pakuŵa Umwenye wa kwinani uli wao.
Blessed are they, who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
11 “Nsangalale ŵanyamwe ŵandu pachachintukananga ni kunnagasya ni kummechetela yangalumbana kwa ligongo lyangu.
Blessed are ye when they may despise you, and shall persecute you, and may say all evil against you, falsifying, for my sake.
12 Nsangalale ni kuchina pakuŵa mbote jenu jili jekulungwa kwinani. Pakuŵa iyoyo peyo ni iŵapanganyichisye ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵaŵapali nkanaŵe ŵanyamwe.
Rejoice, and he exceedingly glad: because your reward is great in the heavens: for in this manner they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 “Ŵanyamwe ndi njete ja pachilambo! Nambo njete jasoyesyaga kulasa kwakwe chintaje chichi kuti unonye wakwe uujile sooni? Ngajikufai kulikose, nambo jikwasikwa paasa ni kuliŵatikwa ni ŵandu.
Ye are the salt of the earth; and if the salt may lose its savor, in what shall it be salted? It is yet without value, except having been cast out, to be trodden under feet by the people.
14 “Ŵanyamwe ndi lilanguka lya pachilambo! Musi wautaŵikwe pachanya chitumbi ngaukukomboleka kusisika.
Ye are the light of the world. A city sitting on a mountain is unable to be hidden.
15 Ŵandu ngakupamba lumuli ni kuluunichila ni lulo, nambo akuluŵika pachanya chindu chakuŵichila lumuli pakuti lwalanguchisye ŵaali nkati mo.
Neither do they light a candle, and place it under a bushel, but on the candlestick; and it shineth to all who are in the house.
16 Iyoyo peyo lilanguka lyenu likusachilwa lilanguchisye paujo pa ŵandu, kuti aiwone isambo yenu yambone, ni ŵakusye Atati ŵenu ŵaali kwinani.
Let your light so shine before the people, in order that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
17 “Nkaganisya kuti naiche kukugatyosya Malajisyo ni majiganyo ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu. Nganiika kukugatyosya nambo kukugamalichisya.
Think not that I came to destroy the law of the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Ngunsalila isyene kuti, mpaka pelepo kwinani ni chilambo pachiimale kupita, ngapagwa namose nukuta pane chindu chamwana mu malajisyo chachichityochekwe mpaka imalile yose.
For truly I say unto you, Until heaven and earth may pass away, one jot or tittle can not pass from the law, until all things may be accomplished.
19 Nipele, mundu jwalijose jwangajitichisya namose likanyo limo mmalamulo ga mwana ga ni kwajiganya ŵane, jwelejo chaŵe jwannandi nnope mu Umwenye wa kwinani. Nambo jwelejo juchalikamulichisye ni kwajiganya ŵane, jwelejo chaŵe jwankulungwa mu Umwenye wa kwinani.
Therefore if any one may break one of the least of these commandments, and so teach the people, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of the heavens: but whosoever may do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
20 Nipele ngunsalila kuti, iŵaga umbone wenu ngaupunda aula wa ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ni Mafalisayo nganjinjila ng'oo mu Umwenye wa kwinani.
For I say unto you, that if your righteousness may not abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you can not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
21 “Mpilikene kuti ŵandu ŵa chiikala ŵasalilwe kuti, ‘Nkaulaga! Juchaulaje akusachilwa alamulikwe.’
You have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not murder; and whosoever may murder shall be in danger of the judgment;
22 Nambo une ngunsalila kuti, mundu jwalijose jwakuntumbilila mpwakwe, chiimbajile kulamulikwa. Jwakwachembulusya apwao chachajausya pa nkungulu. Ni jwakummilanga mpwao ‘Jwakuloŵela,’ chaŵajilwe kwinjila ku mooto wangasimika moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (Geenna g1067)
but I say unto you that every one being angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever may say to his brother, Thou scoundrel, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever may say, Thou fool, shall be liable unto a hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Nipele mwapelekaga mbopesi jenu pa chilisa ni papopo mwakumbuchilaga kuti apwenu ŵana umenyani nomwe,
Therefore if you may bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,
24 njileche mbopesi jenu mmbujo mwa chilisa, njaule kaje nkajilane ni mpwenu jo ni mmujeje ni kujityosya mbopesi jenu.
leave there your gift before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, then having come offer your gift.
25 “Njilane chitema ni jwammagongo ndi mwitala nkanaŵe kwika ku nkungulu. Yapundaga pelepo jwammagongo jwenu chantaje mmakono mwa jwakulamula, nombe jwakulamula jo chantaje mmakono mwa jwangondo, nombejo champonye mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
Be reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; lest the adversary may deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you may be cast into prison.
26 Ngunsalila isyene kuti, ngantyoka mwelemo mpaka pachimmalisye kulipa mbiya ja mbesi.
Truly I say unto you, You can not go out from thence until you have paid the last farthing.
27 “Mpilikene kuti, ŵandu ŵasalilwe, ‘Nkatenda chikululu!’
You have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.
28 Nambo une ngunsalila, kila mundu juchannolechesye jwankongwe kwa kunsaka, amasile kutenda chikululu nawo muntima mwakwe.
But I say unto you that every one looking on a woman in order to lust after her hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Nipele, iŵaga liso lyenu lya kundyo likunneŵasya nlityosye ni kulijasila kwakutalika. Mmbaya nnope kupotesya chiŵalo chenu chimo cha pachiilu, kupunda chiilu chenu chose chiponyekwe pa mooto wangasimika, moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not that thy whole body may go away into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Ni iŵaga nkono wenu wa kundyo ukunneŵasya, nkate nkaujase kwakutalika. Mmbaya kukwenu kupotesya chiŵalo chimo cha chiilu kupunda chiilu chose chiponyekwe pa mooto wangasimika moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Iŵechetekwe kuti, ‘Jwakunleka ŵankwakwe, akusachilwa ŵaape talaka.’
And it was said, Whosoever may send away his wife, let him give her a divorcement.
32 Nambo une ngunsalila kuti, kila mundu jwakunleka ŵankwakwe, pangaŵa kwa ligongo lya chikululu, akwatenda atende chikululu, nombe jwannume alombelaga jwankongwe jwalesilwe, akutenda chikululu.
But I say unto you, that every one sending away his wife, except on account of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever may marry her who has been cast off commits adultery.
33 “Sooni mpilikene kuti ŵandu ŵa kalakala ŵasalilwe kuti, ‘Nkalumbila kwa unami, nambo mpanganye mpela imwalumbile kupanganya kwa Ambuje.’
Again you have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shall perform unto the Lord thine oaths.
34 Nambo une ngunsalila, nkalumbila ng'o, atamuno kwa kwinani, pakuŵa chili chitengu cha umwenye cha Akunnungu,
But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God;
35 atamuno kulumbila kwa chilambo, pakuŵa chili chitengu chao cha kuŵichila makongolo, atamuno kulumbila kwa musi wa Yelusalemu, pakuŵa uli musi wa Mwenye jwankulu.
nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of His feet; neither by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.
36 Atamuno nkalumbila kwa ntwe wenu, pakuŵa ngankukombola kupanganya luumbo lumo kuŵa lweswela atamuno lwepiliu.
Neither swear by thy head, because thou art unable to make one hair white or black.
37 Mwatiji, ‘Elo’, jiŵe ‘Elo’, ni mwatiji, ‘Ngwamba’, jiŵe ‘Ngwamba’. Chachili chose cha kupunda yeleyo chikutyoka kwa jwangalumbana jula.
But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; but that which aboundeth more than these is of the evil one.
38 “Mpilikene kuti isasilwe, ‘Liso kwa liso, ni Liino kwa liino.’
You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 Nambo une ngunsalila kuti, nkaliuchisya kwa jwangalumbana. Mundu jwalijose juchampute lijanda pa lijeje lya kundyo, mwagalauchisye ni lijakwe.
But I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smites thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also:
40 Mundu anjausyaga ku nkungulu kukummechetela magambo melepe ansumule lishati lyenu, munnechele ni likoti lyenu.
to him wishing to prosecute thee at law, and take away thy coat, let him have the cloak also.
41 Mundu jwalijose ankanganichisyaga njigale nsigo wao njaule nawo kilomita jimo, njende nawo kilomita siŵili.
Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him two.
42 Jwakummenda mumpe, nombe jwakusaka kunkongola, ngasimwajima.
Give to the one asking thee, and do not turn away from the one wishing to borrow from thee.
43 “Mpilikene kuti isasilwe, ‘Munnonyele njenu ni munchime jwammagongo jwenu.’
You have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy.
44 Nambo une ngunsalila, mwanonyele ŵammagongo ŵenu ni mwapopelele aŵala ŵakunlagasya,
But I say unto you, Love your enemies with a divine love, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you:
45 kuti mme ŵanache ŵa Atati ŵenu ŵaali kwinani. Pakuŵa akwalanguchisya lyuŵa lyakwe ŵandu ŵangalumbana ni ŵambone ni kwanyelela ula ŵandu ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni ŵangalumbana.
in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
46 Ana chimpate mbote chi mwanonyelaga pe ŵakunnonyela ŵanyamwe? Ngwamba! Pakuŵa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo nombe akutenda iyoyo?
For if you love those that love you, what reward have ye? because the publicans also do the same.
47 Iŵaga nkwakomasyaga achapwenu pe, ana ntesile chapi chakupunda kwapunda ŵane? Ana ngati ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu akutenda iyoyo.
If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing?
48 Nipele mme ŵautindimisyo mu ntima kwati mpela Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani yatite kuŵa jwautindimisyo.
Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
