Matthew 5
1 AND seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
Yesu mpwalabona likoto linene lya bantu balikumukonkela, walatanta pa mulundu ne kwikala panshi pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi,
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
walatatika kubeyisha kambeti,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Bakute colwe abo bacinka manungo pali Lesa, pakwinga Bwami bwa kwilu ni bwabo.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
bakute colwe, bantu balalilinga, pakwinga Lesa nakabaumbulushe.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
bakute colwe, bantu balicepesha, pakwinga nibakatambule ico Lesa ncalabalaya.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
bakute colwe, bantu balanyumfunga nsala ne nyotwa ya kwinsa cilayandanga Lesa, pakwinga nibakekutishiwe.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
bakute colwe bantu bakute nkumbo kubanabo, pakwinga Lesa nakabanyumfwile nkumbo.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
bakute colwe, bantu baswepa myoyo, pakwinga nibakabone Lesa.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
bakute colwe bantu balaletenga lumuno, pakwinga nibakakwiweti bana ba Lesa.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Bakute colwe bantu balapenshewanga, pacebo cakwinsa calulama, pakwinga Bwami bwa kwilu nibwabo.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
“Mwalelekwa, omulatukanwanga, kupenshewa, ne kumubepesha bintu bingi bbyaipa pacebo cakwambeti munkonkelenga.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Kamusamwani, kayi kamukondwani, pakwinga cilambo cenu kwilu nicinene. Naboyo bashinshimi, amwe kamutana musemwa, balabapenshewa munshila yopeleyo.”
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
“Amwe mulyeti mucele wa bantu bonse pacishi capanshi, nomba na mucele usambuluka, nicani celela kubweshulula mbuli ncowanga? Ulabulu ncito, nikutayowa pansa kaulyataulwa ne bantu.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
“Amwe mulyeti mumuni wishikumunikila bantu bonse mucishi. Munshi webakwa pa mulundu nkawelela kubula kubonekela.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Paliya muntu ukute kubangilisha lampi nekwifwekelela munongo, nsombi bakute kubika pacakubikapo lampi, kwambeti umunikile bantu bonse bali mung'andomo,
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Cimo cimo nenjamwe munikani pamenso abantu, kwambeti babona ncito shenu shaina, bakatembaule Bameshenu ba kwilu.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
“Kamutayeyeti ndesakupwisha Milawo ya Mose, ne biyisho bya bashinshimi. Ame ndiyakwisa kwipwisha sobwe, nsombi kwisa kwikwanilisha.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti kwilu necishi capanshi kabitanabipwa, paliya libala nilikaba ling'aneconi lya Mulawo lyeshi likafumemo, mpaka byonse bikakwanilishiwe.
19 Whosoever 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 whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Neco muntu labulunga kukonka mulawo umo uli mumilawo iyi, nambi kauli ung'aneconi, ne kwiyishako nabambi kwambeti naboyo babule kukonka, nakabe mung'ana mu Bwami bwa kwilu. Nomba muntu uliyense lakonkonga Milawo, ne kwiyishako nabambi kwambeti naboyo baikonke, nakabe mukulene mu Bwami bwa kwilu.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Encondamwambililingeti, na bululami bwenu nkabwapita bululami bwa beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose ne Bafalisi, nteti mukengilemo mu Bwami bwa kwilu pimbi.
21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
“Mwalanyumfwa kwambeti, kaindi bantu balambilweti ‘Kotashina, uliyense lashini munendi welela komboloshewa ku nkuta.’
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
Nsombi lino ame ndamwambilingeti, muntu uliyense lakalalilinga mukwabo welela kupewa mulandu ku nkuta, Uliyense lambilinga munendi eti, ‘Omuluya’ Welela komboloshewa ku Nkuta. Nomba uliyense lambilinga munendi eti, ‘Cishilu’ Nendi welela kuyamu mulilo wa Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
“Neco na ulesa necipo cakobe cakubenga kuli Lesa pa nteme, kayi wanuka kwambeti, munobe ukute mulandu nenjobe,
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
koshiya cipo cakobeco pambali pa nteme, koya unyumfwane mulumuno ne munobe, wenseco bwela ubenge cipo cakobe kuli Lesa panteme.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
“Kamufwambananga kunyumfwana ne muntu ngolepishili kamutana mushika ku nkuta. Kutineti ingaukutwala ku momboloshi, nendi momboloshi, ingaukubika mu makasa a mushilikali uyo welela kukuwala mu jele.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Cakubinga ndakwambilishinga, nukekale mujele mpaka ukapwishe kulipila mwelo wamali a mulandu.”
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
“Mwalanyumfwa kwambeti kaindi bantu balambilweti, ‘Kotapombola.’
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Nomba lino ame ndamwambilingeti muntu uliyense lamulangishishinga mutukashi cakumukumbwa, lamupombolo kendi mumoyo wakendi.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Na linso lyakobe lilakwipishinga, ulikolobolemo ulitaye. Caina kutayako lubasu lumo lwa mubili wakobe, kupita kuba ne mubili wakwana ne kuwalwa mu Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Kayi na cikasa cakobe cakululyo cilakwipishinga, ucitimbule ucitaye. Caina kutayako lubasu lumo lwamubili wakobe, kupita kuba ne mubili wakwana ne kuwalwa mu Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
“Kayi kaindi balambilweti, ‘Na muntu uleka mukashendi, amulembele ne kumupa cipepala cabushike.’
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Nomba ame lino ndamwambilingeti, uliyense lalekenga mukashendi pacebo cimbi cabula kuba cabupombo, uyo mukashi ebwa kumutuloba naumbi lenshi bupombo, nendi mutuloba uyo lamwebe ukute mulandu wabupombo.
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
“Kayi mwalamfweti, kaindi bantu balambilweti, ‘Kotaumbila cabwepeshi, nsombi cinse ncowalalumbila kuli Lesa.’
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
Nomba ame ndamwambilingeti, lekani kulumbila sobwe. Kamutalumbilangeti, kwilu kwine nditu! pakwinga kwilu ekuli cipuna ca Mwami Lesa,
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Kamutalumbilangeti, pacishi capanshi nditu! pakwinga pacishi capanshi epakulyata myendo yakendi Lesa. kayi kamutalumbilangeti ‘Pali Yelusalemu nditu!’ Pakwinga Yelusalemu ni munshi wa Mwami mukulene.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
Kamutalumbilangeti, ‘Mutwi wakame nditu,’ Pakwinga nkamwelela kusandula mishishi kuba ituba nambi ishipa.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Kamwambangoweti, ‘Ee’ Nambi ‘ne.’ Cakusankanyapo pali ibi cilafumunga kuli Waipa usa.”
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
Mwalanyumfweti kaindi bantu balambilweti, Linso kubenga linso, lino kubenga lino.
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Nomba ame lino ndamwambilingeti “Kamutabweshelanga caipa kumuntu lamwipishili sobwe. Na muntu ukuma kulicili lya kululyo, akume kayi kulicili lya kucipiko.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
Na muntu ukupa mulandu, ne kukukakatisheti umupe mwinjila wakobe, muleke amantile kumo ne munganjo.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Muntu uliyense amukakatisha kwenda nendi mushinso wakilomita imo, wende nendi mushinso wamakilomita abili.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Muntu amusenga cintu mupeni. Kayi muntu ayandanga kubweleka cintu kulinjobe kotamukanina.”
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Mwalanyumfweti kaindi bantu balambilweti, Kosuna munobe, mupele mulwani wakobe.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Nomba ame lino ndamwambilingeti, basuneni balwani benu ne kubapaililako kuli Lesa abo balamupenshenga.
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Mwenseco, emposhimubele limo bana ba Bameshenu balikwilu, bakute kuleta lumwi pa bantu baipa ne baina. Kayi bakute kulokela mfula pa bantu baina ne baipa.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Na kamusunakowa bantu bamusuni, ngamutambulapo cilambo cini kuli Lesa? Beshimisonko nabo nte ncobakute kwinsa copeleco?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Kayi nakamupa mitende banse benu bonka, mulenshipo cani capita nabambi? Sena bantu batamwinshi Lesa nkabakute kwinsa copeleco?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Kamubani babula kampenda, mbuli Bameshenu bakwilu ncobabula kampenda.
