Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him;
Yesu alipo uona umati, akaondoka na kuelekea Mlimani. Alipokuwa ameketi chini, wanafunzi wake wakaja kwake.
2 and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
Akafunua kinywa chake na akawafundisha, akisema,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Heri walio maskini wa roho maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
4 Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.
Heri walio na huzuni, maana watafarijiwa.
5 Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth.
Heri wenye upole, maana watairithi nchi.
6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness; for they shall be filled.
Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya haki, maana hao watashibishwa.
7 Blessed are the merciful; for they shall receive mercy.
Heri wenye rehema maana hao watapata Rehema.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.
Heri wenye moyo safi maana watamwona Mungu.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called sons of God.
Heri wapatanishi, maana hao wataitwa wana wa Mungu.
10 Blessed are they that are persecuted on account of righteousness; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Heri wale wanaoteswa kwa ajili ya haki, maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
11 Blessed are you, when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, on my account.
Heri ninyi ambao watu watawatukana na kuwatesa, au kusema kila aina ya ubaya dhidi yenu kwa uongo kwa ajili yangu.
12 Rejoice, and leap for joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so did they persecute the prophets who were before you.
Furahini na kushangilia, maana thawabu yenu ni kubwa juu mbinguni. Kwa kuwa hivi ndivyo watu walivyo watesa manabii walioishi kabla yenu.
13 You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has become tasteless, by what means shall it become salt again? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trod upon by men.
Ninyi ni chumvi ya dunia. Lakini kama chumvi imepoteza ladha yake, itawezaje kufanyika chumvi halisi tena? Kamwe haiwezi kuwa nzuri kwa kitu kingine chochote tena, isipokuwa ni kutupwa nje na kukanyagwa na miguu ya watu.
14 You are the light of the world: a city that lies upon a mountain can not be hid:
Ninyi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Mji uliojegwa juu ya mlima haufichiki.
15 neither do men light a lamp and place it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it gives light to all that are in the house.
Wala watu hawawashi taa na kuweka chini ya kikapu, bali kwenye kinara, nayo yawaangaza wote walio ndani ya nyumba.
16 In this way let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Acha nuru yenu iangaze mbele za watu kwa namna ambayo kwamba, wayaone matendo yenu mema na kumtukuza Baba yenu aliye mbinguni.
17 Think not that I have come to make the law or the prophets of no effect. I have not come to make them of no effect, but to give them their full efficiency.
Msifikiri nimekuja kuiharibu sheria wala manabii. Sijaja kuharibu lakini kutimiza.
18 For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one yod or one point shall in no way pass from the law till all be fulfilled.
Kwa kweli nawaambia kwamba mpaka mbingu na dunia zote zipite hapana yodi moja wala nukta moja ya sheria itaondoshwa katika sheria hadi hapo kila kitu kitakapokuwa kimekwisha timizwa.
19 Whoever, therefore, shall make void one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Hivyo yeyote avunjaye amri ndogo mojawapo ya amri hizi na kuwafundisha wengine kufanya hivyo ataitwa mdogo katika ufalme wa mbinguni. Lakini yeyote azishikaye na kuzifundisha ataitwa mkubwa katika ufalme wa mbinguni.
20 For I say to you, That, unless your righteousness excel that of the scribes and Pharisees, you can by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Kwa maana nawaambia haki yenu isipozidi haki ya waandishi na Mafarisayo, kwa vyovyote vile hamtaingia katika ufalme wa mbinguni.
21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges.
Mmesikia ilinenwa zamani kuwa, “usiue” na 'yeyote auaye yuko katika hatari ya hukumu.'
22 But I say to you, Whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges. And whoever shall say to his brother, Worthless fellow, shall be liable to the sentence of the Sanhedrin. But who ever shall say, Impious wretch, shall be in danger of hell-fire. (Geenna g1067)
Lakini nawaambia yeyote amchukiaye ndugu yake atakuwa katika hatari ya hukumu. Na yeyote amwambiaye ndugu yake kuwa, 'Wewe ni mtu usiyefaa!' atakuwa katika hatari ya baraza. Na yeyote asemaye, 'Wewe mjinga!' atakuwa katika hatari ya moto wa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
23 If, therefore, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has any thing against you,
Hivyo kama unatoa sadaka yako katika madhabahu na unakumbuka kuwa ndugu yako ana jambo lolote dhidi yako,
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
iache sadaka mbele ya madhabahu, kisha shika njia yako. Kapatane kwanza na ndugu yako, na kisha uje kuitoa sadaka yako.
25 Come to an agreement with your opponent at law quickly, while you are on the road with him, lest your opponent at law deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
Patana na mshitaki wako upesi, ukiwa pamoja naye njiani kuelekea mahakamani, vinginevyo mshtaki wako anaweza kukuacha mikononi mwa hakimu, na hakimu akuache mikononi mwa askari, nawe utatupwa gerezani.
26 Verily, I say to you, You shall by no means come out thence, till you have paid the last farthing.
Amini nawaambieni, kamwe hutawekwa huru hadi umelipa senti ya mwisho ya pesa unayodaiwa.
27 You have heard that it was said: You shall not commit adultery.
Mmesikia imenenwa kuwa, 'Usizini.'
28 But I say to you, Whoever looks upon a woman to cherish desire for her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Lakini nawaambieni yeyote amtazamaye mwanamke kwa kumtamani amekwisha kuzini naye moyoni mwake.
29 If, then, your right eye ensnare you, tear it out, and throw it from you; for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Na kama jicho lako la kulia linakusababisha kujikwaa, ling'oe na ulitupe mbali nawe. Kwa kuwa ni afadhali kiungo kimoja katika mwili wako kiharibike kuliko mwili mzima kutupwa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if your right hand ensnare you, cut it off, and throw it from you; for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Na kama mkono wako wa kuume unakusababisha kujikwaa, ukate kisha uutupilie mbali nawe. Maana ni afadhali kiungo kimoja katika mwili wako kiharibike kuliko mwili mzima kutupwa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
31 It has been said: Whoever will put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.
Imenenwa pia, yeyote amfukuzaye mkewe, na ampe hati ya talaka.'
32 But I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, unless on account of lewdness, causes her to commit adultery: and whoever marries her that is divorced, commits adultery.
Lakini mimi nawaambia, yeyote anaye mwacha mke wake, isipokuwa kwa kwa sababu ya zinaa, amfanya kuwa mzinzi. Na yeyote amuoaye baada ya kupewa talaka afanya uzinzi.
33 Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not swear falsely, but shall pay to the Lord your vows.
Tena, mmesikia ilinenwa kwa wale wa zamani, 'Msiape kwa uongo, bali pelekeni viapo vyenu kwa Bwana.'
34 But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
Lakini nawaambia, msiape hata kidogo, ama kwa mbingu, kwa sababu ni enzi ya Mungu;
35 nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King:
wala kwa dunia, maana ni mahali pa kuweka kiti cha kukanyagia nyayo zake, ama kwa Jerusalemu, maana ni mji wa mfalme mkuu.
36 neither shall you swear by your head, for you can not make one hair white or black.
Wala usiape kwa kichwa chako, maana huwezi kufanya unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
37 But let your word be, Yes, yes; No, no; for whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.
Bali maneno yenu yawe, 'Ndiyo, ndiyo, Hapana, hapana.' Kwa kuwa yazidiyo hayo yatoka kwa yule mwovu.
38 You have heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
Mmesikia imenenwa kuwa, 'Jicho kwa jicho, na jino kwa jino.'
39 But I say to you, Resist not the injurious. But whoever will smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Lakini mimi namwambia, Msishindane na mtu mwovu; lakini mtu akikupiga shavu la kulia mgeuzie na jingine pia.
40 And to him that will go to law with you, and take away your coat, give your mantle also.
Na kama yeyote anatamani kwenda na wewe mahakamani na akakunyang'anya kanzu yako, mwachie na joho lako pia.
41 And whoever will compel you to go one mile, go with him two.
Na yeyote akulazimishaye kwenda naye maili moja, nenda naye maili mbili.
42 Give to him that asks of you; and from him that would borrow of you, turn not away.
Kwa yeyote akuombaye mpatie, na usimwepuke yeyote anayehitaji kukukopa.
43 You have heard that it was said: You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.
Mmesikia imenenwa, 'Umpende jirani yako, na umchukie adui yako.'
44 But I say to you, Love your enemies: bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who insult you and persecute you:
Lakini nawaambia, wapendeni adui zenu, waombeeni wanao waudhi,
45 that you may be the sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun to rise upon the evil and the good, and causes it to rain on the just and on the unjust.
Ili kwamba muwe watoto wa baba yenu aliye mbinguni. Kwa kuwa anafanya jua liwaangazie wabaya na wema, na anawanyeshea mvua waovu na wema.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the publicans the same?
Kama mkiwapenda wanaowapenda ninyi, mwapata thawabu gani? Kwani watoza ushuru hawafanyi hivyo?
47 And if you salute your brethren only, in what do you excel? Do not even the publicans so?
Na kama mkiwasalimia ndugu zenu tu mwapata nini zaidi ya wengine? Je!, Watu wa mataifa hawafanyi vivyo hivyo?
48 Be you therefore perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
Kwa hiyo yawapasa kuwa wakamilifu, kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
