Matayo 5
1 Che Yesu paŵauweni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakwesile pa chitumbi ni kutama. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajaulile,
Seeing the multitude of people, Jesus went up the Hill. There He seated Himself, and when His disciples came to Him,
2 nombewo ŵatandite kwajiganya.
He proceeded to teach them, and said:
3 “Akwete upile ŵele ŵakwakulupilila Akunnungu, pakuŵa umwenye wa kwinani uli wao.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for to them belongs the Kingdom of the Heavens.
4 Akwete upile ŵele ŵakulilasika muntima, pakuŵa chatulaswe.
"Blessed are the mourners, for they shall be comforted.
5 Akwete upile ŵele ŵakulitimalika, pakuŵa chapochele chilanga cha Akunnungu.
"Blessed are the meek, for they as heirs shall obtain possession of the earth.
6 Akwete upile ŵele ŵajakwete sala ni njota ja kupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, pakuŵa Akunnungu chachajikutisya.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be completely satisfied.
7 Akwete upile ŵaali ni chanasa kwa ŵane, pakuŵa chachikolelwa chanasa.
"Blessed are the compassionate, for they shall receive compassion.
8 Akwete upile ŵaali ni ntima wambone, pakuŵa chachawona Akunnungu.
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 Akwete upile ŵakwalumbanya ŵandu, pakuŵa ŵanyawo chachiŵilanjikwa ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for it is they who will be recognized as sons of God.
10 Akwete upile ŵele ŵakusaukanga ligongo lya kupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, pakuŵa Umwenye wa kwinani uli wao.
"Blessed are those who have borne persecution in the cause of Righteousness, for to them belongs the Kingdom of the Heavens.
11 “Nsangalale ŵanyamwe ŵandu pachachintukananga ni kunnagasya ni kummechetela yangalumbana kwa ligongo lyangu.
"Blessed are you when they have insulted and persecuted you, and have said every cruel thing about you falsely for my sake.
12 Nsangalale ni kuchina pakuŵa mbote jenu jili jekulungwa kwinani. Pakuŵa iyoyo peyo ni iŵapanganyichisye ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵaŵapali nkanaŵe ŵanyamwe.
Be joyful and triumphant, because your reward is great in the Heavens; for so were the Prophets before you persecuted.
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.
"You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has become tasteless, in what way can it regain its saltness? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown away and trodden on by the passers by.
14 “Ŵanyamwe ndi lilanguka lya pachilambo! Musi wautaŵikwe pachanya chitumbi ngaukukomboleka kusisika.
You are the light of the world; a town cannot be hid if built on a hill-top.
15 Ŵandu ngakupamba lumuli ni kuluunichila ni lulo, nambo akuluŵika pachanya chindu chakuŵichila lumuli pakuti lwalanguchisye ŵaali nkati mo.
Nor is a lamp lighted to be put under a bushel, but on the lampstand; and then it gives light to all in the house.
16 Iyoyo peyo lilanguka lyenu likusachilwa lilanguchisye paujo pa ŵandu, kuti aiwone isambo yenu yambone, ni ŵakusye Atati ŵenu ŵaali kwinani.
Just so let your light shine before all men, in order that they may see your holy lives and may give glory to your Father who is in Heaven.
17 “Nkaganisya kuti naiche kukugatyosya Malajisyo ni majiganyo ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu. Nganiika kukugatyosya nambo kukugamalichisya.
"Do not for a moment suppose that I have come to abrogate the Law or the Prophets: I have not come to abrogate them but to give them their completion.
18 Ngunsalila isyene kuti, mpaka pelepo kwinani ni chilambo pachiimale kupita, ngapagwa namose nukuta pane chindu chamwana mu malajisyo chachichityochekwe mpaka imalile yose.
Solemnly I tell you that until Heaven and earth pass away, not one iota or smallest detail will pass away from the Law until all has taken place.
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.
Whoever therefore breaks one of these least commandments and teaches others to break them, will be called the least in the Kingdom of the Heavens; but whoever practises them and teaches them, he will be acknowledged as 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 assure you that unless your righteousness greatly surpasses that of the Scribes and the Pharisees, you will certainly not find entrance 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 commit murder', and whoever commits murder will be answerable to the magistrate.
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 to you that every one who becomes angry with his brother shall be answerable to the magistrate; that whoever says to his brother 'Raca,' shall be answerable to the Sanhedrin; and that whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be liable to the Gehenna of Fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Nipele mwapelekaga mbopesi jenu pa chilisa ni papopo mwakumbuchilaga kuti apwenu ŵana umenyani nomwe,
If therefore when you are offering your gift upon the altar, you remember that your brother has a grievance against you,
24 njileche mbopesi jenu mmbujo mwa chilisa, njaule kaje nkajilane ni mpwenu jo ni mmujeje ni kujityosya mbopesi jenu.
leave your gift there before the altar, and go and make friends with your brother first, and then return and proceed to 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.
Come to terms without delay with your opponent while you are yet with him on the way to the court; for fear he should obtain judgement from the magistrate against you, and the magistrate should give you in custody to the officer and you be thrown into prison.
26 Ngunsalila isyene kuti, ngantyoka mwelemo mpaka pachimmalisye kulipa mbiya ja mbesi.
I solemnly tell you that you will certainly not be released till you have paid the very 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 tell you that whoever looks at a woman and cherishes lustful thoughts has already in his heart become guilty with regard to her.
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)
If therefore your eye, even the right eye, is a snare to you, tear it out and away with it; it is better for you that one member should be destroyed rather than that your whole body should be thrown into Gehenna. (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)
And if your right hand is a snare to you, cut it off and away with it; it is better for you that one member should be destroyed rather than that your whole body should go into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Iŵechetekwe kuti, ‘Jwakunleka ŵankwakwe, akusachilwa ŵaape talaka.’
"It was also said, 'If any man puts away his wife, let him give her a written notice of divorce.'
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 tell you that every man who puts away his wife except on the ground of unfaithfulness causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries her when so divorced 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 shalt perform thy vows to the Lord.'
34 Nambo une ngunsalila, nkalumbila ng'o, atamuno kwa kwinani, pakuŵa chili chitengu cha umwenye cha Akunnungu,
But I tell you not to swear at all; neither by Heaven, for it is God's throne;
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, for it is the footstool under His feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the City of the Great King.
36 Atamuno nkalumbila kwa ntwe wenu, pakuŵa ngankukombola kupanganya luumbo lumo kuŵa lweswela atamuno lwepiliu.
And do not swear by your head, for you cannot 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 language be, 'Yes, yes,' or 'No, no.' Anything in excess of this comes from the Evil one.
38 “Mpilikene kuti isasilwe, ‘Liso kwa liso, ni Liino kwa liino.’
"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.'
39 Nambo une ngunsalila kuti, nkaliuchisya kwa jwangalumbana. Mundu jwalijose juchampute lijanda pa lijeje lya kundyo, mwagalauchisye ni lijakwe.
But I tell you not to resist a wicked man, but if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well.
40 Mundu anjausyaga ku nkungulu kukummechetela magambo melepe ansumule lishati lyenu, munnechele ni likoti lyenu.
If any one wishes to go to law with you and to deprive you of your under garment, let him take your outer one also.
41 Mundu jwalijose ankanganichisyaga njigale nsigo wao njaule nawo kilomita jimo, njende nawo kilomita siŵili.
And whoever shall compel you to convey his goods one mile, go with him two.
42 Jwakummenda mumpe, nombe jwakusaka kunkongola, ngasimwajima.
To him who asks, give: from him who would borrow, turn not away.
43 “Mpilikene kuti isasilwe, ‘Munnonyele njenu ni munchime jwammagongo jwenu.’
"You have heard that it was said, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemy.'
44 Nambo une ngunsalila, mwanonyele ŵammagongo ŵenu ni mwapopelele aŵala ŵakunlagasya,
But I command you all, love your enemies, and pray for your persecutors;
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.
that so you may become true sons of your Father in Heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the wicked as well as the good, and sends rain upon those who do right and those who do wrong.
46 Ana chimpate mbote chi mwanonyelaga pe ŵakunnonyela ŵanyamwe? Ngwamba! Pakuŵa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo nombe akutenda iyoyo?
For if you love only those who love you, what reward have you earned? Do not even the tax-gatherers do that?
47 Iŵaga nkwakomasyaga achapwenu pe, ana ntesile chapi chakupunda kwapunda ŵane? Ana ngati ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu akutenda iyoyo.
And if you salute only your near relatives, what praise is due to you? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
48 Nipele mme ŵautindimisyo mu ntima kwati mpela Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani yatite kuŵa jwautindimisyo.
You however are to be complete in goodness, as your Heavenly Father is complete.
