Matthew 5
1 Now seeing the crowds He went up on the mountain, and upon His sitting down His disciples approached Him.
Nígbà tí ó rí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, ó gun orí òkè lọ ó sì jókòó. Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ si tọ̀ ọ́ wá.
2 And opening His mouth He started teaching them, saying:
Ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí kọ́ wọn. Ó wí pé,
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
“Alábùkún fún ni àwọn òtòṣì ní ẹ̀mí, nítorí tiwọn ni ìjọba ọ̀run.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀, nítorí a ó tù wọ́n nínú.
5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn ọlọ́kàn tútù, nítorí wọn yóò jogún ayé.
6 Blessed are those hungering and thirsting for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn tí ebi ń pa tí òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ́ nítorí òdodo, nítorí wọn yóò yó.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn aláàánú, nítorí wọn yóò rí àánú gbà.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn ọlọ́kàn mímọ́, nítorí wọn yóò rí Ọlọ́run.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn onílàjà, nítorí ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni a ó máa pè wọ́n.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted on account of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn ẹni tí a ṣe inúnibíni sí, nítorí tí wọ́n jẹ́ olódodo nítorí tiwọn ní ìjọba ọ̀run.
11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and speak all kinds of evil against you, lying, because of Me.
“Alábùkún fún ni ẹ̀yin nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn bá fi àbùkù kàn yín tí wọn bá ṣe inúnibíni sí yín, tiwọn fi ètè èké sọ̀rọ̀ búburú gbogbo sí yín nítorí mi.
12 Rejoice and exult, because your reward in the heavens is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Ẹ yọ̀, kí ẹ̀yin sì fò fún ayọ̀, nítorí ńlá ni èrè yín ní ọ̀run, nítorí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣe ṣe inúnibíni sí àwọn wòlíì tí ń bẹ ṣáájú yín.
13 You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt becomes insipid with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing except to be thrown out and trampled down by the people.
“Ẹ̀yin ni iyọ̀ ayé. Ṣùgbọ́n bí iyọ̀ bá di òbu kí ni a ó fi mú un dùn? Kò tún wúlò fún ohunkóhun mọ́, bí kò ṣe pé kí a dàánù, kí ó sì di ohun tí ènìyàn ń fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀.
14 You are the light of the world. A city located upon a hill cannot be hidden.
“Ẹyin ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ ayé. Ìlú tí a tẹ̀dó sórí òkè kò lè fi ara sin.
15 Nor do they light a lamp and place it under the hamper, but on the lampstand, and it shines on everything in the house.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kì í tan fìtílà tán, kí a sì gbé e sí abẹ́ òsùwọ̀n; bí kò ṣe sí orí ọ̀pá fìtílà, a sì tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún gbogbo ẹni tí ń bẹ nínú ilé.
16 So also let your light shine before the people, so that they may see your good works and may glorify your Father, who is in the heavens.
Bákan náà, ẹ jẹ́ kí ìmọ́lẹ̀ yín kí ó mọ́lẹ̀ níwájú ènìyàn, kí wọ́n lè máa rí iṣẹ́ rere yín, kí wọn lè máa yin baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run lógo.
17 “Do not suppose that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
“Ẹ má ṣe rò pé, èmí wá láti pa òfin àwọn wòlíì run, èmi kò wá láti pa wọn rẹ́, bí kò ṣe láti mú wọn ṣẹ.
18 For assuredly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one iota nor one tittle shall pass away from the Law until everything happens.
Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún un yín, títí ọ̀run òun ayé yóò fi kọjá, àmì kínkínní tí a fi gègé ṣe kan kì yóò parẹ́ kúrò nínú gbogbo òfin tó wà nínú ìwé òfin títí gbogbo rẹ̀ yóò fi wá sí ìmúṣẹ.
19 Therefore, whoever annuls one of the least of these commandments and teaches that to the people will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó bá rú òfin tí ó tilẹ̀ kéré jùlọ, tí ó sì kọ́ ẹlòmíràn láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, òun ni yóò kéré jùlọ ní ìjọba ọ̀run, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá ń ṣe wọ́n, tí ó sì ń kọ́ wọn, ni yóò jẹ́ ẹni ńlá ní ìjọba ọ̀run.
20 For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees you will absolutely not enter the kingdom of the heavens!
Nítorí náà ni mo ti wí fún yín pé àfi bí òdodo yín bá ju ti àwọn Farisi àti ti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin lọ, dájúdájú ẹ̀yin kì yóò le wọ ìjọba ọ̀run.
21 “You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘You shall not murder, so whoever murders will be liable to the judgment.’
“Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí a ti wí fún àwọn ará ìgbàanì pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ pànìyàn, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá pànìyàn yóò wà nínú ewu ìdájọ́.’
22 But I say to you that whoever gets angry with his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Numbskull!’ will be liable to the council. But whoever says, ‘You absolute idiot!’ will be liable to hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún un yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bínú sí arákùnrin rẹ̀ yóò wà nínú ewu ìdájọ́. Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó ba wí fun arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ráákà,’ yóò fi ara hàn níwájú ìgbìmọ̀ àwọn àgbà Júù; ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá wí pé, ‘Ìwọ wèrè!’ yóò wà nínú ewu iná ọ̀run àpáàdì. (Geenna g1067)
23 Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,
“Nítorí náà, nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń mú ẹ̀bùn rẹ wá síwájú pẹpẹ, bí ìwọ bá sì rántí níbẹ̀ pé arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni ohùn kan nínú sí ọ.
24 leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled with your brother and then, returning, offer your gift.
Fi ẹ̀bùn rẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú pẹpẹ. Ìwọ kọ́kọ́ lọ ṣe ìlàjà láàrín ìwọ àti arákùnrin rẹ̀ na. Lẹ́yìn náà, wá kí ó sì fi ẹ̀bùn rẹ sílẹ̀.
25 Be agreeable to your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest the adversary hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
“Bá ọ̀tá rẹ làjà kánkán, ẹni tí ó ń gbé ọ lọ sílé ẹjọ́. Ṣe é nígbà ti ó wà ní ọ̀nà pẹ̀lú rẹ, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yóò fà ọ́ lé onídàájọ́ lọ́wọ́, onídàájọ́ yóò sí fá ọ lé àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ lọ́wọ́, wọ́n a sì sọ ọ́ sínú túbú.
26 Assuredly I say to you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún ọ, ìwọ kì yóò jáde kúrò níbẹ̀ títí tí ìwọ yóò fi san ẹyọ owó kan tí ó kù.
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
“Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí òfin ti wí pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe panṣágà.’
28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo wí fún yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wo obìnrin kan ní ìwòkuwò, ti bà ṣe panṣágà nínú ọkàn rẹ̀.
29 So if your right eye is causing you to fall, tear it out and throw it away; because it is better for you that one of your members perish than that your whole body be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Bí ojú ọ̀tún rẹ bá mú ọ kọsẹ̀, yọ ọ́ jáde, kí ó sì sọ ọ́ nù. Ó sá à ní èrè fún ọ kí ẹ̀yà ara rẹ kan ṣègbé, ju kí a gbé gbogbo ara rẹ jù sí iná ọ̀run àpáàdì. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if your right hand is causing you to fall, cut it off and throw it away; because it is better for you that one of your members perish than that your whole body be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Bí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ bá mú ọ kọsẹ̀, gé e kúrò, kí ó sì sọ ọ́ nù. Ó sá à ní èrè kí ẹ̀yà ara rẹ kan ṣègbé ju kí a gbé gbogbo ara rẹ jù sí iná ọ̀run àpáàdì. (Geenna g1067)
31 It was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’
“A ti wí pẹ̀lú pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, jẹ́ kí ó fi ìwé ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ lé e lọ́wọ́.’
32 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for a case of fornication, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi sọ èyí fún yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, láìṣe pé nítorí àgbèrè, ó mú un ṣe àgbèrè, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì gbé ẹni tí a kọ̀ ní ìyàwó, ó ṣe panṣágà.
33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the ancients: ‘You shall not swear falsely, but you shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’
“Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí a ti wí fún àwọn ará ìgbàanì pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ búra èké bí kò ṣe pé kí ìwọ kí ó mú ìbúra rẹ̀ fún Olúwa ṣẹ.’
34 But I say to you not to swear at all: neither by heaven, because it is God's throne;
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín, ẹ má ṣe búra rárá: ìbá à ṣe fífi ọ̀run búra, nítorí ìtẹ́ Ọlọ́run ni.
35 nor by the earth, because it is a stool for His feet; nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.
Tàbí fi ayé búra, nítorí àpótí ìtìsẹ̀ Ọlọ́run ni; tàbí Jerusalẹmu, nítorí olórí ìlú ọba ńlá ni.
36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.
Má ṣe fi orí rẹ búra, nítorí ìwọ kò lè sọ irun ẹyọ kan di funfun tàbí di dúdú.
37 But let your word be ‘yes yes’, ‘no no’; for whatever is more than these is from the malignant one.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yín jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àti bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yín jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ohunkóhun tí ó ba ju ìwọ̀nyí lọ, wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni ibi.
38 “You have heard that it was said: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
“Ẹ̀yin tí gbọ́ bí òfin tí wí pé, ‘Ojú fún ojú àti eyín fún eyín.’
39 But I say to you not to resist the evildoer; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín pé, ẹ má ṣe tako ẹni ibi. Bí ẹnìkan bá gbá ọ lẹ́rẹ̀kẹ́ ọ̀tún, yí ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́ òsì sí olúwa rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
40 “And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have the cloak as well.
Bí ẹnìkan bá fẹ́ gbé ọ lọ sílé ẹjọ́, tí ó sì fẹ́ gba ẹ̀wù àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, jọ̀wọ́ agbádá rẹ fún un pẹ̀lú.
41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
Bí ẹni kan bá fẹ́ fi agbára mú ọ rìn ibùsọ̀ kan, bá a lọ ní ibùsọ̀ méjì.
42 Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.
Fi fún ẹni tí ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó ń fẹ́ wín lọ́wọ́ rẹ, má ṣe mú ojú kúrò.
43 “You have heard that it was said: ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
“Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí òfin ti wí pé, ‘Ìwọ fẹ́ ọmọnìkejì rẹ, kí ìwọ sì kórìíra ọ̀tá rẹ̀.’
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 mistreat you and persecute you,
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín pé, ẹ fẹ́ràn àwọn ọ̀tá yín kí ẹ sì gbàdúrà fún àwọn tí ń ṣe inúnibíni sí yín.
45 that you may prove to be sons of your Father in the heavens; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and He sends rain on the just and the unjust.
Kí ẹ̀yin lè jẹ́ ọmọ Baba yín ti ń bẹ ní ọ̀run. Ó mú kí oòrùn rẹ̀ ràn sára ènìyàn búburú àti ènìyàn rere, ó rọ̀jò fún àwọn olódodo àti fún àwọn aláìṣòdodo.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Bí ẹ̀yin bá fẹ́ràn àwọn tí ó fẹ́ràn yín nìkan, èrè kí ni ẹ̀yin ní? Àwọn agbowó òde kò ha ń ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́?
47 And if you greet only your friends, what are you doing extra? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
Àti bí ó bá sì jẹ́ pé kìkì àwọn arákùnrin yín nìkan ni ẹ̀yin ń kí, kín ni ẹ̀yin ń ṣe ju àwọn mìíràn lọ? Àwọn kèfèrí kò ha ń ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ bí?
48 Therefore, you be perfect just as your Father in the heavens is perfect.
