Matthew 5
1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
Tango Yesu amonaki ebele yango ya bato, amataki likolo ya ngomba mpe avandaki. Bayekoli na Ye bapusanaki pene na Ye,
2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
mpe akomaki kopesa bango malakisi. Alobaki:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
« Esengo na babola na molimo, pamba te Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali mpo na bango!
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Esengo na bato oyo bazali kolela, pamba te bakobondisama!
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
Esengo na bato na komikitisa, pamba te bakozwa mokili lokola libula!
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
Esengo na bato oyo bazali na nzala mpe na posa ya bosembo, pamba te bakotondisama!
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Esengo na bato oyo bayokelaka bato mosusu mawa, pamba te bakoyokela bango mpe mawa!
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Esengo na bato oyo bazali na mitema peto, pamba te bakomona Nzambe!
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
Esengo na bato oyo bayeisaka kimia, pamba te bakobengama bana na Nzambe!
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Esengo na bato oyo bazali konyokolama likolo ya bosembo, pamba te Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali mpo na bango!
11 “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Esengo na bino tango bazali kofinga bino, tango bazali konyokola bino, mpe tango bazali kokosela bino makambo ya lolenge nyonso likolo na Ngai!
12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Bosepela mpe bozala na esengo, pamba te lifuti na bino ezali monene kati na Likolo; pamba te ezalaki mpe kaka ndenge wana nde banyokolaki basakoli oyo bazalaki liboso na bino.
13 “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.
Bozali mungwa ya mokili. Kasi soki mungwa ebungisi elengi na yango, ndenge nini bakokoka lisusu kozongisa elengi na yango? Ezali lisusu na tina moko te; etikali kaka eloko ya kobwaka mpe ya konyata.
14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
Bozali pole ya mokili. Engumba oyo batongi na likolo ya ngomba ekoki kobombama te.
15 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.
Moto moko te apelisaka mwinda mpo na kotia yango na se ya katini; nzokande, atiaka yango na likolo ya etelemiselo ya minda mpo ete engengisa bato nyonso oyo bazali kati na ndako.
16 Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Yango wana, tika ete pole na bino engenga liboso ya bato, mpo ete bamona misala malamu na bino mpe bakumisa Tata na bino oyo azali kati na Likolo.
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
Bokanisa te ete Ngai nayaki mpo na kolongola Mobeko to basakoli; solo, nayaki te mpo na kolongola, kasi nayaki nde mpo na kokokisa.
18 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 law, until all things are accomplished.
Pamba te, nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: liboso ete Likolo mpe mabele elimwa, nkoma moko te oyo eleki moke to litono oyo ezalaka na likolo ya i ekotikala kolongwa kati na Mobeko, kino makambo nyonso ekokisama.
19 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.
Yango wana, moto nyonso oyo akobuka moko kati na mibeko oyo, ezala oyo eleki moke kati na yango, mpe akoteya bato mosusu kosala bongo, bakozwa ye lokola moto pamba kati na Bokonzi ya Likolo. Kasi moto oyo akotosa mpe akoteya mibeko oyo epai na bato mosusu akozala moto monene kati na Bokonzi ya Likolo.
20 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.
Pamba te, nazali koloba na bino solo ete soki bosembo na bino liboso ya Mobeko eleki te bosembo ya balakisi ya Mobeko mpe ya Bafarizeo, bokokota te na Bokonzi ya Likolo.
21 “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.’
Boyokaki ete baloba na bakoko na biso: ‹ Okobomaka te. Moto nyonso oyo akoboma moninga na ye asengeli na kosambisama liboso ya basambisi. ›
22 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, 'Raca!' will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
Kasi Ngai, nalobi na bino: Moto nyonso oyo akokangela ndeko na ye kanda akosamba na esambiselo liboso ya basambisi; moto oyo akofinga ndeko na ye: ‹ zoba, › akosamba liboso ya Likita-Monene; mpe oyo akoloba na ndeko na ye: ‹ moto ya liboma, › akobwakama kati na moto ya lifelo. (Geenna g1067)
23 “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
Soki ozali kokende kopesa makabo na yo liboso ya etumbelo, mpe ososoli ete ndeko na yo azwa yo na likambo,
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
tika makabo na yo liboso ya etumbelo mpe kende nanu koyokana na ndeko na yo wana; sima na yango nde okoya kopesa makabo na yo.
25 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.
Soki moto azwi yo na likambo, yokana na ye noki, wana bozali nanu na nzela; soki te, akofunda yo epai ya mosambisi, mosambisi akokaba yo na maboko ya bakengeli, mpe bakengeli bakobwaka yo na boloko.
26 Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
Nazali koloba na yo penza ya solo: okobima na boloko soki kaka ofuti niongo na yo nyonso.
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’
Boyokaki ete baloba: ‹ Okosalaka ekobo te. ›
28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Kasi Ngai, nalobi na bino: Mobali nyonso oyo atali mwasi na makanisi ya kolula ye, asili kosala na ye ekobo kati na motema na ye.
29 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 Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
Yango wana, soki liso na yo ya ngambo ya mobali ekweyisaka yo na masumu, longola yango mpe bwaka yango mosika na yo; pamba te eleki malamu mpo na yo kobungisa eteni moko ya nzoto, na esika ete nzoto na yo mobimba ebwakama na lifelo. (Geenna g1067)
30 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 Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
Soki mpe loboko na yo ya ngambo ya mobali ekweyisaka yo na masumu, kata yango mpe bwaka yango mosika na yo; pamba te eleki malamu mpo na yo kobungisa eteni moko ya nzoto, na esika ete nzoto na yo mobimba ekende na lifelo. (Geenna g1067)
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’
Boyokaki lisusu ete baloba: ‹ Soki mobali akabwani na mwasi na ye, asengeli kopesa ye mokanda ya koboma libala. ›
32 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.
Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: Mobali nyonso oyo alongoli mwasi na ye na libala, longola kaka soki mwasi yango akweyaki na ekobo, afungoleli ye nzela ya kosala kindumba; mpe mobali oyo abali mwasi oyo balongola na libala asali mpe ekobo.
33 “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,’
Boyokaki lisusu ete baloba na bakoko na biso: ‹ Okolapa ndayi ya lokuta te, kasi kokisa bilaka oyo opesaki na nzela ya ndayi liboso ya Nkolo. ›
34 but I tell you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: bolapaka ndayi te, ezala na kombo ya Likolo, pamba te Likolo ezali Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe,
35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
to na kombo ya mokili, pamba te mokili ezali enyatelo makolo ya Nzambe; to mpe na kombo ya Yelusalemi, pamba te Yelusalemi ezali engumba ya Mokonzi Monene.
36 Neither shall you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
Bosalelaka mpe te mito na bino mpo na kolapa ndayi, pamba te bokoki te kokomisa moko kati na suki ya mito na bino pembe to mwindo.
37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
Kasi bolobaka kaka ‹ iyo › soki ezali iyo, mpe ‹ te › soki ezali bongo, pamba te maloba nyonso oyo ebakisamaka likolo ewutaka na Mokosi.
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
Boyokaki ete baloba: ‹ Liso mpo na liso, linu mpo na linu. ›
39 But I tell you, do not resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: Botelemelaka te moto mabe; kutu soki abeti yo mbata na litama ya ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, pesa ye mpe litama ya ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi.
40 If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
Soki moto alingi kofunda yo mpo na kozwa elamba na yo, pesa ye mpe kazaka na yo.
41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
Soki moto atindi yo na makasi ete otambola kilometele moko, yo, tambola bakilometele mibale elongo na ye.
42 Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
Pesa na moto oyo asengi yo, mpe koboya te kodefisa na moto oyo alingi kodefa epai na yo.
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
Boyokaki ete baloba: ‹ Linga moninga na yo mpe yina monguna na yo. ›
44 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,
Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: Bolingaka banguna na bino mpe bosambelaka mpo na bato oyo banyokolaka bino.
45 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.
Na ndenge wana nde bokozala bana ya Tata na bino, oyo azali kati na Likolo, pamba te abimisaka moyi mpo na bato malamu mpe mpo na bato mabe, mpe anokisaka mvula mpo na bato ya sembo mpe mpo na bato oyo bazali sembo te.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Soki bolingaka kaka bato oyo balingaka bino, lifuti nini bokozwa? Boni, bafutisi mpako basalaka mpe bongo te?
47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Soki bopesaka mbote kaka na bandeko mibali na bino, likambo nini ya kokamwa oyo bosalaka? Boni, bapagano basalaka mpe bongo te?
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Bozala bato ya kokoka ndenge Tata na bino ya Likolo azali ya kokoka.
