< Matthew 5 >
1 And when he sawe the multitude, he went vp into a mountaine: and when he was set, his disciples came to him.
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire andũ aingĩ mũno-rĩ, akĩambata kĩrĩma-igũrũ, agĩikara thĩ. Arutwo ake magĩthiĩ harĩ we.
2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
Nake akĩambĩrĩria kũmaruta ũhoro, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
3 Blessed are the poore in spirit, for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.
“Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa athĩĩni ngoro, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa igũrũ nĩ wao.
4 Blessed are they that mourne: for they shall be comforted.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa marĩ na kĩeha, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakaniinĩrwo kĩeha.
5 Blessed are the meeke: for they shall inherite the earth.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa ahooreri, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakagaya thĩ.
6 Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousnes: for they shalbe filled.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa mahũũtagĩra na makanyootera ũthingu, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakahũũnio.
7 Blessed are the mercifull: for they shall obteine mercie.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa maiguanagĩra tha, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakaiguĩrwo tha.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa atheru ngoro, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakona Ngai.
9 Blessed are the peace makers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa macaragia thayũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmagetwo ariũ a Ngai.
10 Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa manyariiragwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa igũrũ nĩ wao.
11 Blessed shall ye be when men reuile you, and persecute you, and say all maner of euill against you for my sake, falsely.
“Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ mekũmũruma, na makamũnyariira, na makamũigĩrĩra maũndũ mothe mooru nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
12 Reioyce and be glad, for great is your reward in heauen: for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you.
Kenai na mũcanjamũke, tondũ kĩheo kĩanyu nĩ kĩnene igũrũ, nĩgũkorwo ũguo noguo maanyariirire anabii arĩa maarĩ kuo mbere yanyu.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be troden vnder foote of men.
“Inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ cumbĩ wa thĩ. No cumbĩ ũngĩkorwo nĩũthirĩte mũcamo waguo-rĩ, ũngĩcooka gũcamithio ta cumbĩ nĩ kĩĩ? Ndũngĩcooka kũgĩa kĩene rĩngĩ, tiga no ũteirwo ũrangwo nĩ andũ.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A citie that is set on an hill, cannot be hid.
“Inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ ũtheri wa thĩ. Itũũra inene rĩakĩtwo kĩrĩma igũrũ rĩtingĩhithĩka.
15 Neither doe men light a candel, and put it vnder a bushel, but on a candlesticke, and it giueth light vnto all that are in the house.
O na ningĩ andũ matiakagia tawa magacooka kũũkunĩkĩra na mbakũri; handũ ha ũguo, maũigagĩrĩra igũrũ handũ haguo, naguo ũkamũrĩkĩra andũ othe arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good workes, and glorifie your Father which is in heauen.
O ũguo naguo, na inyuĩ rekei ũtheri wanyu ũmũrĩkagĩre andũ, nĩguo mone ciĩko cianyu njega, nao magoocage Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the Lawe, or the Prophets. I am not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them.
“Mũtikae gwĩciiria njũkĩte kweheria Watho kana Mohoro ma Anabii; ndiũkĩte kũmeeheria, no njũkĩte kũmahingia.
18 For truely I say vnto you, Till heauen, and earth perish, one iote or one title of the Law shall not scape, till all things be fulfilled.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa thĩ na igũrũ ikeehera, gũtirĩ kairia ka maandĩko, o na gũtirĩ gakururo kanini ga karamu gakeehera o na atĩa kuuma Watho-inĩ, nginya maũndũ mothe makaahingio.
19 Whosoeuer therefore shall breake one of these least commandements, and teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdome of heauen: but whosoeuer shall obserue and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdome of heauen.
Ũrĩa wothe ũkoina rĩathani o na rĩmwe rĩa marĩa manini, na arute arĩa angĩ gwĩka ũguo, nĩagatuuo mũnini makĩria thĩinĩ wa ũthamaki wa igũrũ, no ũrĩa wothe wĩkaga na akarutana maathani maya-rĩ, nĩagatuuo mũnene ũthamaki-inĩ wa igũrũ.
20 For I say vnto you, except your righteousnes exceede the righteousnes of the Scribes and Pharises, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũthingu wanyu waga gũkĩra ũrĩa wa Afarisai na wa arutani a watho, mũtigatoonya ũthamaki wa igũrũ o na atĩa.
21 Ye haue heard that it was sayd vnto them of the olde time, Thou shalt not kill: for whosoeuer killeth shalbe culpable of iudgement.
“Nĩmũiguĩte atĩ hĩndĩ ya tene andũ nĩmerirwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanoragane, na mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũkooragana no nginya agaatuĩka wa gũtuĩrwo ciira.’
22 But I say vnto you, whosoeuer is angry with his brother vnaduisedly, shalbe culpable of iudgment. And whosoeuer sayth vnto his brother, Raca, shalbe worthy to be punished by the Councill. And whosoeuer shall say, Foole, shalbe worthy to be punished with hell fire. (Geenna )
No niĩ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũrĩa wothe ũkarakarĩra mũrũ wa ithe nĩagatuĩka wa gũtuĩrwo ciira. Na ningĩ-rĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa wothe wĩraga mũrũ wa ithe atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ndũrĩ bata,’ nĩagaciirithio nĩ Kĩama. No ũrĩa wothe ũngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Wee wĩ mũkĩĩgu!’ Nĩagakorwo arĩ ũgwati-inĩ wa gũikio mwaki-inĩ wa Jehanamu. (Geenna )
23 If then thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remembrest that thy brother hath ought against thee,
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, angĩkorwo nĩwĩhaarĩirie kũruta kĩheo gĩaku kĩgongona-inĩ, na hĩndĩ ĩyo ũrĩ hau ũririkane atĩ mũrũ wa thoguo arĩ na ũndũ nawe-rĩ,
24 Leaue there thine offring before the altar, and goe thy way: first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
tiga kĩheo gĩaku o hau mbere ya kĩgongona. Amba ũthiĩ ũkaiguane na mũrũ wa thoguo; ũcooke ũũke ũrutĩre Ngai kĩheo gĩaku.
25 Agree with thine aduersarie quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him, lest thine aduersarie deliuer thee to the Iudge, and the Iudge deliuer thee to ye sergeant, and thou be cast into prison.
“Hiũha kwĩiguithania na thũ yaku ĩrĩa ĩragũtwara igooti-inĩ. Ĩka ũguo mũrĩ o njĩra-inĩ, kwaga ũguo nĩĩgũgũtwara kũrĩ mũtuanĩri-ciira, nake mũtuanĩri-ciira akũneane kũrĩ mũnene wa thigari, ũikio njeera.
26 Verely I say vnto thee, thou shalt not come out thence, till thou hast payed the vtmost farthing.
Ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ndũkoima kuo ũtarĩhĩte thiirĩ wothe hatarĩ gathendi ũgũtigia.
27 Ye haue heard that it was sayd to them of olde time, Thou shalt not commit adulterie.
“Nĩmũiguĩte atĩ hĩndĩ ya tene nĩ kwerirwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanatharanie.’
28 But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adulterie with her already in his heart.
No niĩ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũrĩa wothe ũkaarora mũndũ-wa-nja na amwĩrirĩrie, nĩarĩkĩtie gũtharia nake ngoro-inĩ yake.
29 Wherefore if thy right eye cause thee to offend, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: for better it is for thee, that one of thy members perish, then that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna )
Riitho rĩaku rĩa ũrĩo rĩngĩtũma wĩhie-rĩ, rĩkũũre, ũrĩte. Nĩ kaba kĩĩga kĩmwe kĩa mwĩrĩ waku kĩũre gũkĩra mwĩrĩ waku wothe ũikio Jehanamu. (Geenna )
30 Also if thy right hand make thee to offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for better it is for thee that one of thy members perish, then that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna )
Na guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo kũngĩtũma wĩhie-rĩ, gũtinie ũgũte. Nĩ kaba kĩĩga kĩmwe kĩa mwĩrĩ waku kĩũre gũkĩra mwĩrĩ waku wothe ũikio Jehanamu. (Geenna )
31 It hath bene sayd also, Whosoeuer shall put away his wife, let him giue her a bill of diuorcement.
“Ningĩ nĩ kwĩrĩtwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrĩa wothe ũngĩtigana na mũtumia wake no nginya amũhe marũa ma kuonania nĩmatigana nake.’
32 But I say vnto you, whosoeuer shall put away his wife (except it be for fornication) causeth her to commit adulterie: and whosoeuer shall marrie her that is diuorced, committeth adulterie.
No ngũmwĩra atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũtiganaga na mũtumia wake, o tiga nĩ ũndũ wa ũtharia-rĩ, nĩatũmaga atuĩke mũtharia, na ũrĩa wothe ũhikagia mũtumia ũrĩa ũtiganĩte na mũthuuriwe, nĩ gũtharia atharagia.
33 Againe, ye haue heard that it was sayd to them of old time, Thou shalt not forsweare thy selfe, but shalt performe thine othes to the Lord.
“Ningĩ, nĩmũiguĩte atĩ hĩndĩ ya tene andũ nĩmerirwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanehĩte tũhũ, no hingagĩria Mwathani mĩĩhĩtwa ĩrĩa wĩhĩtĩte.’
34 But I say vnto you, Sweare not at all, neither by heauen, for it is the throne of God:
No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ: Mũtikanehĩte o na atĩa; mũtikanehĩte na igũrũ tondũ nĩkuo gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Ngai;
35 Nor yet by the earth: for it is his footestoole: neither by Hierusalem: for it is the citie of the great King.
kana mwĩhĩte na thĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩkuo gĩturwa gĩa kũigĩrĩra magũrũ make; o na kana mwĩhĩte na Jerusalemu, nĩgũkorwo nĩrĩo itũũra inene rĩa Mũthamaki mũnene.
36 Neither shalt thou sweare by thine head, because thou canst not make one heare white or blacke.
Na ndũkanehĩte na mũtwe waku, nĩgũkorwo ndũngĩhota gũtũma rũcuĩrĩ o na rũmwe rwerũhe kana rũire.
37 But let your communication be Yea, yea: Nay, nay. For whatsoeuer is more then these, commeth of euill.
Reke ‘Ĩĩ’ yaku ĩtuĩke ‘Ĩĩ’, na ‘Aca’ yaku ĩtuĩke ‘Aca’; ũndũ o wothe makĩria ma ũguo-rĩ, uumaga kũrĩ ũrĩa mũũru.
38 Ye haue heard that it hath bene sayd, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
“Nĩmũiguĩte atĩ hĩndĩ ya tene nĩ kwerirwo atĩrĩ: ‘Riitho rĩrĩhagwo na riitho, narĩo igego rĩrĩhagwo na igego.’
39 But I say vnto you, Resist not euill: but whosoeuer shall smite thee on thy right cheeke, turne to him the other also.
No niĩ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ: Mũtikanagiane na mũndũ ũrĩa mũũru. No rĩrĩ, mũndũ angĩkũgũtha rũthĩa rwa ũrĩo-rĩ, mũhũgũkĩrie rũu rũngĩ o naruo.
40 And if any man wil sue thee at the law, and take away thy coate, let him haue thy cloke also.
Na mũndũ angĩenda gũgũthitanga oe kanjũ yaku-rĩ, mũnengere o na igooti rĩaku.
41 And whosoeuer will compell thee to goe a mile, goe with him twaine.
Mũndũ angĩkũhatĩrĩria ũthiĩ itĩĩna rĩmwe-rĩ, thiĩ nake matĩĩna meerĩ.
42 Giue to him that asketh, and from him that would borowe of thee, turne not away.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩkũhooya kĩndũ, mũhe, na mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩenda ũmũkombere kĩndũ, ndũkarege kũmũkombera.
43 Ye haue heard that it hath bin said, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour, and hate your enemie.
“Nĩmũiguĩte atĩ hĩndĩ ya tene nĩ kwerirwo atĩrĩ, ‘Endaga mũndũ wa itũũra rĩaku, na ũthũũrage thũ yaku.’
44 But I say vnto you, Loue your enemies: blesse them that curse you: doe good to them that hate you, and pray for them which hurt you, and persecute you,
No niĩ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ: Endagai thũ cianyu, na mũhooyagĩre arĩa mamũnyariiraga,
45 That ye may be the children of your father that is in heauen: for he maketh his sunne to arise on the euill, and the good, and sendeth raine on the iust, and vniust.
nĩgeetha mũtuĩke ariũ a Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ. Atũmaga riũa rĩake rĩrathĩre arĩa ooru na arĩa ega, na akoiria mbura kũrĩ arĩa athingu na kũrĩ arĩa matarĩ athingu.
46 For if ye loue them, which loue you, what rewarde shall you haue? Doe not the Publicanes euen the same?
Angĩkorwo mwendete o arĩa mamwendete-rĩ, mũgaakĩrĩhwo kĩ? Githĩ o na etia mbeeca cia igooti matiĩkaga o ũguo?
47 And if ye be friendly to your brethren onely, what singular thing doe ye? doe not euen the Publicanes likewise?
Na ningĩ angĩkorwo mũgeithagia o ariũ na aarĩ a ithe wanyu-rĩ, mũgĩkĩrĩte arĩa angĩ na kĩ? Githĩ o na arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai matiĩkaga o ũguo?
48 Ye shall therefore be perfit, as your Father which is in heauen, is perfite.
