Matayo 5
1 Che Yesu paŵauweni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakwesile pa chitumbi ni kutama. Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajaulile,
Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 nombewo ŵatandite kwajiganya.
He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 “Akwete upile ŵele ŵakwakulupilila Akunnungu, pakuŵa umwenye wa kwinani uli wao.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 Akwete upile ŵele ŵakulilasika muntima, pakuŵa chatulaswe.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 Akwete upile ŵele ŵakulitimalika, pakuŵa chapochele chilanga cha Akunnungu.
Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit 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 filled.
7 Akwete upile ŵaali ni chanasa kwa ŵane, pakuŵa chachikolelwa chanasa.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
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 they shall be called children 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 been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
11 “Nsangalale ŵanyamwe ŵandu pachachintukananga ni kunnagasya ni kummechetela yangalumbana kwa ligongo lyangu.
“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against 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.
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how 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.
“You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
14 “Ŵanyamwe ndi lilanguka lya pachilambo! Musi wautaŵikwe pachanya chitumbi ngaukukomboleka kusisika.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.
15 Ŵandu ngakupamba lumuli ni kuluunichila ni lulo, nambo akuluŵika pachanya chindu chakuŵichila lumuli pakuti lwalanguchisye ŵaali nkati mo.
Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines 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.
Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 “Nkaganisya kuti naiche kukugatyosya Malajisyo ni majiganyo ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu. Nganiika kukugatyosya nambo kukugamalichisya.
“Don’t think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I didn’t come 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 most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the Torah, until all things are 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, whoever shall break one of these least commandments and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
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 tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
21 “Mpilikene kuti ŵandu ŵa chiikala ŵasalilwe kuti, ‘Nkaulaga! Juchaulaje akusachilwa alamulikwe.’
“You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ and ‘Whoever murders will 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 tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehinnom. (Geenna g1067)
23 Nipele mwapelekaga mbopesi jenu pa chilisa ni papopo mwakumbuchilaga kuti apwenu ŵana umenyani nomwe,
“If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything 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 your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and 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.
Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
26 Ngunsalila isyene kuti, ngantyoka mwelemo mpaka pachimmalisye kulipa mbiya ja mbesi.
Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 “Mpilikene kuti, ŵandu ŵasalilwe, ‘Nkatenda chikululu!’
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’
28 Nambo une ngunsalila, kila mundu juchannolechesye jwankongwe kwa kunsaka, amasile kutenda chikululu nawo muntima mwakwe.
but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already 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)
If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehinnom. (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)
If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehinnom. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Iŵechetekwe kuti, ‘Jwakunleka ŵankwakwe, akusachilwa ŵaape talaka.’
“It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing 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 whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away 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 ancient ones, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’
34 Nambo une ngunsalila, nkalumbila ng'o, atamuno kwa kwinani, pakuŵa chili chitengu cha umwenye cha Akunnungu,
but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for 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, for it is the footstool of 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.
Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t 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 ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is 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 tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Mundu anjausyaga ku nkungulu kukummechetela magambo melepe ansumule lishati lyenu, munnechele ni likoti lyenu.
If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
41 Mundu jwalijose ankanganichisyaga njigale nsigo wao njaule nawo kilomita jimo, njende nawo kilomita siŵili.
Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Jwakummenda mumpe, nombe jwakusaka kunkongola, ngasimwajima.
Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 “Mpilikene kuti isasilwe, ‘Munnonyele njenu ni munchime jwammagongo jwenu.’
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
44 Nambo une ngunsalila, mwanonyele ŵammagongo ŵenu ni mwapopelele aŵala ŵakunlagasya,
But I tell 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 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 you may be children 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 Ana chimpate mbote chi mwanonyelaga pe ŵakunnonyela ŵanyamwe? Ngwamba! Pakuŵa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo nombe akutenda iyoyo?
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
47 Iŵaga nkwakomasyaga achapwenu pe, ana ntesile chapi chakupunda kwapunda ŵane? Ana ngati ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu akutenda iyoyo.
If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
48 Nipele mme ŵautindimisyo mu ntima kwati mpela Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani yatite kuŵa jwautindimisyo.
Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
