Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came to him:
Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe fa bontsintsi jwa batho bo kokoana, a tlhatlogela le barutwa ba gagwe mo mhapheng wa thaba, mme a nna fa fatshe le bone a ba ruta.
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
A ba raya a re, “Go sego ba ba ingotlang gonne Bogosi jwa Legodimo ke jwa bone.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Go sego ba ba lelang gonne ba tlaa gomodiwa.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
“Go sego ba ba bonolo gonne lefatshe lotlhe ke la bone.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
“Go sego ba ba nyoretsweng tshiamo gonne ba tlaa e bona.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
“Go sego ba ba pelontle le kutlwelobotlhoko gonne ba tlaa utlwelwa botlhoko.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
“Go sego ba ba pelo di itshekileng gonne ba tlaa bona Modimo.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Go sego ba ba huhulelang kagiso, gonne ba tlaa bidiwa barwa Modimo.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Go sego ba ba bogisediwang tshiamo, gonne Bogosi jwa Legodimo ke jwa bone.
11 Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
“Fa lo kgobiwa lo bogisiwa, lo akelwa ka ntlha ya gore lo barutwa ba me, lo sego jang!
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Itumeleng ka ga gone! Ipeleng thata! Gonne tuelo ya lona e kgolo e lo letile kwa legodimong. Mme gakologelwang gore, Baporofiti ba bogologolo le bone ba ne ba bogisiwa.
13 You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his flavor, with which shall it be salted? it is thereafter good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
“Ke lona letswai la lefatshe, mme fa lona lo latlhegelwa ke molodi go tlaa nna jang ka lefatshe? Le lona lo tlaa latlhelwa kwa ntle lo gatakwa ka dinao lo sena molemo.
14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Lo lesedi la lefatshe, motse o o mo thabeng, o o phatsimang bosigo gore botlhe ba o bone.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light to all that are in the house.
Se fitlheng lesedi la lona! A le phatsimele botlhe; a ditiro tsa lona tse di molemo di phatsimele botlhe go di bona, gore ba tle ba galaletse Rra lona wa Legodimo.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
“Se tlhokeng go tlhaloganya se ke se tletseng. Ga se go senya melao ya ga Moshe le ditlhagiso tsa baporofiti. Nnyaa ke tletse go di tlhomamisa le gore di diragale jaaka go boletswe.
18 For truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass, one stroke or one pronunciation mark shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
“Ka tlhomamiso yotlhe e ke nang nayo ka re: molao mongwe le mongwe o o mo Lokwalong o tlaa tswelela pele go fitlhelela maikaelelo a one a diragala.
19 Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Jalo he, fa mongwe a tlola molao o mmotlanyana, a ba a ruta ba bangwe go dira jalo, o tlaa nna mmotlana mo Bogosing jwa Legodimo. Mme ba ba rutang melao ya Modimo ba e reetsa ba tlaa nna batona mo Bogosing jwa Legodimo.
20 For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
“Mme ke a lo tlhagisa ga lo ka ke lwa tsena mo Bogosing jwa Legodimo fa e se tshiamo ya lona e feta ya Bafarasai le baeteledipele ba bangwe ba Bajuda.
21 You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
“Mo melaong ya ga Moshe e ne e le gore, ‘Fa o bolaya motho, o tshwanetse wa swa le wena.’
22 But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, You fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
Mme ke okeditse molao oo, e bile ke lo bolelela gore fa o shakgetse fela, le fa e le mo motseng wa gago, o lebaganywe ke katlholo! Fa o bitsa tsala ya gago seeleele, o ka nna wa tseelwa kwa kgotleng ya tshekelo fa o mo hutsa, o mo diphatseng tsa molete wa molelo. (Geenna g1067)
23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you;
“Mme ke gone fa o eme fa pele ga sebeso (aletara) mo Tempeleng, o ntshetsa Modimo setlhabelo, mme ka tshoganetso o bo o gakologelwa gore wa ga eno o na le sekgopi nao,
24 Leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
Tlogela setlhabelo sa gago gone foo fa pele ga sebeso (aletara) go ikopa maitshwarelo o bo o letlane nae.
25 Agree with your adversary quickly, whiles you are in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
Akofa outlwane le mmaba wa gago nako e ise e tsamaye thata e se re kgotsa a go gogele kwa tshekong, o bo o latlhelwa mo tlung ya kgolegelo.
26 Truly I say to you, You shall by no means come out there, till you have paid the uttermost farthing.
Gonne o tlaa nna moo go fitlhelela o bo o duela ledinyana la bofelo.
27 You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not commit adultery:
“Melao ya ga Moshe e ne e re, ‘O seka wa dira boaka’.
28 But I say to you, That whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Mme ka re: Le fa e le mang yo o lebang mosadi ka go mo eletsa, o setse a dirile boaka nae mo pelong.
29 And if your right eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
“Mme fa leitlho la gago, le fa e ka ne e le leitlho le le itekanetseng le tsosolosa keletso, le gonye o le latlhe. Go botoka gore tokololo e e go leofisang e senngwe go na le gore mmele otlhe wa gago o latlhelwe mo moleting wa molelo. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if your right hand offend you, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Mme fa seatla sa gago le fa e le sa moja se go leofisa, se kgaole o se latlhe. Gonne go botoka go se kgaola go na le go iphitlhela o le mo moleting ka ntlha ya sone. (Geenna g1067)
31 It has been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce:
“Molao wa ga Moshe wa re, ‘Fa mongwe a batla go kgaogana le mosadi wa gagwe, o ka mo tlhala fela ka go mo neela lokwalo lwa tlhalo’.
32 But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.
Mme nna ka re monna yo o tlhalang mosadi wa gagwe fa e se ka ntlha ya boaka, o mo dirisa boaka. Mme yo o mo nyalang le ene o dira boaka.
33 Again, you have heard that it has been said by them of old time, You shall not forswear yourself, but shall perform to the Lord your oaths:
“Gape molao wa ga Moshe wa re, ‘Ga o a tshwanela go dirolola maikano a gago le Modimo, o tshwanetse go a diragatsa otlhe.’
34 But I say to you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
“Mme ka re: o se ka wa dira maikano ape! Lefa e le go ikana ka ‘Magodimo!’ Ke seikano se se boitshepo mo Modimong, ka magodimo ke setulo sa Bogosi jwa Modimo.
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Gape fa o ikana ka ‘Lefatshe’ ke seikano se se boitshepo mo Modimong, ka gore lefatshe ke sebeo sa dinao tsa one. Gape o se ka wa ikana ka Jerusalema ka gore Jerusalema ke motse-mogolo wa Kgosi e kgolo.
36 Neither shall you swear by your head, because you can not make one hair white or black.
“Gape o se ka wa ikana ka ‘phogwana’! Ka gore ga o kake wa fetola thiri nngwe go nna tshweu kgotsa ntsho.
37 But let your communication be, Yes, yes; No, no: for whatever is more than these comes of evil.
Mme go bua ga lona e nne Ee, ke tlaa, kgotsa Nnyaa ga nkake, lefoko la lona le lekanye. Tiisa tsholofetso ya gago ka go ikana, go supa gore sengwe ga se a siama.
38 You have heard that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
“Molao wa ga Moshe wa re, ‘Fa motho a gonya leitlho la yo mongwe, le ene o tshwanetse go gonngwa leitlho. Fa mongwe a go itaya a go kgola leino, a leino la motho yoo le ene le kgolwe.’
39 But I say to you, That you resist not evil: but whoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Mme nna ka re: Se emelelaneng le bosula! Fa o phanngwa mo lerameng, retolola le lengwe.
40 And if any man will sue you at the law, and take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
Fa o isiwa tshekong, o bo o tseelwa hempe, ntsha le baki ya gago.
41 And whoever shall compel you to go a mile, go with him two.
Fa masole a batla gore o rwale dithoto tsa bone sekgala sa mmaele e le nngwe di rwale di mmaele tse pedi.
42 Give to him that asks you, and from him that would borrow of you turn not you away.
Naya ba ba kopang, o se ka wa hularela yo o batlang go adima mo go wena.
43 You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.
“Go na le puo e e reng, ‘Rata ditsala tsa gago mme o ile baba ba gago.’
44 But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you, and persecute you;
Mme nna ka re: ‘Rata baba ba gago! Rapelela ba ba go bogisang!’
45 That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
“Ka tsela eo lo tlaa bo lo dira jaaka bana ba boammaaruri ba Rraeno yo o kwa legodimong. Gonne o tlhabisetsa basiami le ba ba sa siamang letsatsi, a nesetse basiami le ba ba sa siamang pula ka go tshwana.
46 For if you love them which love you, what reward have you? do not even the publicans the same?
“Fa o rata ba ba go ratang fela, go thusang?, le ba ba bosula ba dira jalo.
47 And if you salute your brothers only, what do you more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Fa o siametse ditsala tsa gago fela, o farologanye jang le batho ba bangwe? Le baheitane tota ba dira fela jalo.
48 Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Mme lo tshwanetse lwa nna boikanyego, fela jaaka Rraeno yo o kwa legodimong a le boikanyego.
