Matthew 5
1 And having seen the multitudes, He went up to the mountain, and He having sat down, His disciples came to Him,
Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ igwe mmadụ ahụ, ọ rigooro nʼelu ugwu. Mgbe ọ nọdụrụ ala, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịakwutere ya,
2 and having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying,
o bido ikuziri ha ihe. Ọ sịrị:
3 “Blessed the poor in spirit—because theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
“Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị bụ ogbenye nʼime mmụọ, nʼihi na alaeze eluigwe bụ nke ha.
4 Blessed the mourning—because they will be comforted.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị na-eru ụjụ, nʼihi na a ga-akasị ha obi.
5 Blessed the meek—because they will inherit the land.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị dị nwayọọ nʼobi, nʼihi na ha ga-eketa ụwa.
6 Blessed those hungering and thirsting for righteousness—because they will be filled.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị agụụ ezi omume na-agụ, nʼihi na ndị ahụ ka afọ ga-eju.
7 Blessed the kind—because they will find kindness.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị na-eme obi ebere, nʼihi na ha ka a ga-emere ebere.
8 Blessed the clean in heart—because they will see God.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị dị ọcha nʼobi, nʼihi na ha ga-ahụ Chineke anya.
9 Blessed the peacemakers—because they will be called sons of God.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị na-eme ka udo dị nʼetiti mmadụ na ibe ya, nʼihi na a ga-akpọ ha ụmụ Chineke.
10 Blessed those persecuted for righteousness’ sake—because theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị a na-emegbu nʼihi ezi omume, nʼihi na alaeze eluigwe bụ nke ha.
11 Blessed are you whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for My sake—
“Ngọzị na-adịrị unu mgbe ndị mmadụ na-akọcha unu, na-emegbu unu, ma na-ekwukwa okwu ọjọọ na ụgha niile dị iche iche megide unu nʼihi m.
12 rejoice and be glad, because your reward [is] great in the heavens, for thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Ṅụrịanụ ọnụ, nwekwanụ obi ụtọ, nʼihi na ụgwọ ọrụ unu dị ukwuu nʼeluigwe. Nʼihi na nʼụzọ dị otu a ka ha sogburu ndị amụma ndị buru unu ụzọ.
13 You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt may lose savor, in what will it be salted? It is good for nothing from now on, except to be cast outside, and to be trodden down by men.
“Unu bụ nnu nke ụwa, ma ọ bụrụ na nnu adịghị atọkwa ụtọ, a ga-eji gịnị mee ka ọ tọọ ụtọ ọzọ? Ọ bakwaghị uru ọbụla, ma ọ bụghị naanị itufu ya, ka ndị mmadụ zọọ ya ụkwụ.
14 You are the light of the world, a city set on a mountain is not able to be hid;
“Unu bụ ihe nke ụwa. Unu dị ka obodo e wuru nʼelu ugwu nke a na-apụghị izo ezo.
15 nor do they light a lamp and put it under the measure, but on the lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house;
Ndị mmadụ adịghị amụnye oriọna dọnye ya nʼokpuru igbe, kama a na-adọkwasị ya nʼelu ihe ịdọba oriọna, ka o nye ndị niile nọ nʼụlọ ahụ ìhè.
16 so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who [is] in the heavens.
Ya mere, kwerenụ ka ìhè unu nwuo nye mmadụ niile, ka ndị mmadụ hụ ọrụ ọma unu, tookwa Nna unu nke bi nʼeluigwe.
17 Do not suppose that I came to throw down the Law or the Prophets—I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill;
“Unu echela na m bịara ịkagbu iwu Mosis, maọbụ ozizi ndị amụma. Abịaghị m ịkagbu akagbu, kama abịara m imezu ha.
18 for truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the Law, until all may come to pass.
Nʼezie, agwa m unu, na tutu eluigwe na ụwa agabiga, ọ dịghị otu mkpụrụ edemede ọbụla dị nta, ọ bụladị nke dịkarịsịrị nta, nke a ga-esi nʼIwu a wepụ ruo mgbe ha niile ga emezu.
19 Therefore whoever may loose one of these commands—the least—and may teach men so, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach [them], he will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
Nʼihi ya, onye ọbụla nke ga-emebi otu nʼime iwu ndị a, ọ bụladị nke dịkarịsịrị nta, ma kuziekwara ndị ọzọ ime otu ahụ, a ga-agụ onye ahụ nʼonye dịkarịsịrị nta nʼalaeze eluigwe. Ma onye na-ezi ụmụ mmadụ ka ha debe iwu ahụ, ma na-emekwa okwu ndị ahụ nʼonwe ya, a ga-akpọ ya onye dị ukwuu nʼalaeze eluigwe.
20 For I say to you that if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, you may not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Ka m dọọ unu aka na ntị. Ọ bụrụ na ezi omume unu akarịghị ezi omume ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu, unu apụghị ịba nʼalaeze eluigwe ma ọlị.
21 You heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not murder, and whoever may murder will be in danger of the judgment;
“Unu nụrụ na-agwara ndị mmadụ nʼoge gara aga, sị, ‘Onye egbula mmadụ, onye ọbụla gburu mmadụ a ga-ekpe ya ikpe.’
22 but I say to you that everyone who is angry at his brother without cause will be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Stupid, will be in danger of the Sanhedrin, and whoever may say, Moron, will be in danger of the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
Ma asị m unu, na onye ọbụla nke na-ewe iwe megide nwanna ya, na-enyefe onwe ya nʼaka ikpe. Onye ọbụla nke na-akpọ nwanna ya ‘Raka,’ ya bụ Onye iberiibe, ga-aza ajụjụ nʼụlọikpe. Ọzọkwa, onye ọbụla nke kpọrọ nwanne ya, ‘Onye nzuzu,’na-edo onwe ya ịba nʼọkụ ala mmụọ. (Geenna g1067)
23 If, therefore, you may bring your gift to the altar, and there may remember that your brother has anything against you,
“Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na ị gaa inye onyinye gị nʼebe ịchụ aja, ma cheta nʼebe ahụ na gị na nwanne gị adịghị nʼudo,
24 leave there your gift before the altar, and go—first be reconciled to your brother, and then having come, bring your gift.
hapụ onyinye gị nʼebe ịchụ aja, laa ka gị na nwanne gị kpezie. Mgbe unu mere udo, laghachi bịa nye onyinye gị.
25 Be agreeing with your opponent quickly, while you are in the way with him, that the opponent may not deliver you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and you may be cast into prison;
“Mee ọsịịsọ ka gị na onye kpọ gị eje ụlọ ikpe kpezie, mgbe ọ na-eburubeghị ikpe gị na ya jee nʼaka ọkaikpe, onye ga-enyefe gị nʼaka ndị nche, ma eleghị anya etinye gị nʼụlọ mkpọrọ.
26 truly I say to you, you may not come forth from there until you may pay the last penny.
Nʼezie, agwa m gị, ị gaghị e si nʼebe ahụ pụta ruo mgbe ị kwụghachiri kobo niile i ji.
27 You heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not commit adultery;
“Unu nụrụ na e kwuru sị, ‘Akwala iko.’
28 but I say to you that everyone who is looking on a woman to desire her, already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Ma asị m unu, onye ọbụla lere nwanyị anya site na-agụụ ịkwa iko emeelarị mmehie ịkwa iko nʼime obi ya megide nwanyị ahụ.
29 But if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast from you, for it is good to you that one of your members may perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Nʼihi nke a, ọ bụrụ na anya aka nri gị na-eme ka i jehie, ghụpụ ya tufuo. Ọ kaara gị mma na i tufuru otu akụkụ ahụ gị baa nʼalaeze karịa na i ji ahụ zuruoke baa nʼọkụ ala mmụọ. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast from you, for it is good to you that one of your members may perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Ọ bụrụ na aka nri gị na-eme ka i jehie, gbupụ ya tufuo. Ọ kaara gị mma na i tufuru otu akụkụ ahụ gị ma baa nʼalaeze eluigwe, karịa na i ji ahụ zuruoke ma baa nʼọkụ ala mmụọ. (Geenna g1067)
31 And it was said that, Whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing of divorce;
“E kwukwara sị, ‘Onye ọbụla chọrọ ịgbara nwunye ya alụkwaghị m, ga-ebu ụzọ dee akwụkwọ alụkwaghị m nye nwunye ya.’
32 but I say to you that whoever may put away his wife, except for the matter of whoredom, makes her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who has been put away commits adultery.
Ma asị m unu, onye ọbụla gbara nwunye ya alụkwaghị m, ma ọ bụghị nʼihi ịkwa iko, ọ na-etinye nwanyị ahụ nʼọnọdụ ga-eme ka ọ kwaa iko. Ọ bụrụ na nwanyị ahụ alụọ di ọzọ, nwoke ahụ lụrụ nwanyị ahụ na-emekwa mmehie ịkwa iko.
33 Again, you heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not swear falsely, but you will pay to the LORD your oaths;
“Ọzọkwa, unu nụrụ na a gwara ndị mmadụ nʼoge gara aga sị, ‘Aṅụla iyi ụgha, kama mezuo ihe niile unu ṅụrụ nʼiyi nye Onyenwe anyị.’
34 but I say to you not to swear at all; neither by Heaven, because it is the throne of God,
Ma asị m unu aṅụla iyi ọbụla. Ejikwala eluigwe aṅụ iyi nʼihi na eluigwe bụ ebe ocheeze Chineke dị.
35 nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is [the] city of [the] great King,
Ejikwala ụwa aṅụ iyi nʼihi na ụwa bụ ebe mgbakwasị ụkwụ ya. Ejikwala Jerusalem aṅụ iyi nʼihi na ọ bụ obodo Eze ukwu ahụ.
36 nor may you swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black;
Ejikwala isi gị aṅụ iyi nʼihi na ị pụghị ime ka otu agịrị isi gị dị ọcha maọbụ dị oji.
37 but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil [one].
Aṅụla iyi ọbụla. Kama ka okwu unu bụrụ ‘E’ maọbụ ‘Ee’; ihe ọbụla gafere nke a sitere nʼaka ajọ onye ahụ.
38 You heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth;
“Unu anụla na e kwuru sị, ‘Ọ bụ anya ka a kụkpọrọ, anya nʼọnọdụ anya. Ọ bụrụkwa otu eze ka e tipụrụ, eze nʼọnọdụ eze.’
39 but I say to you not to resist the evil, but whoever will slap you on your right cheek, turn to him also the other;
Ma ana m asị unu eguzogidela onye bụ ajọ onye. Kama ọ bụrụ na mmadụ amaa gị ụra na ntị aka nri, tụgharịara ya ntị nke ọzọ.
40 and whoever is willing to take you to law, and to take your coat—also permit to him the cloak.
Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ agbaa gị akwụkwọ nʼụlọikpe, ka ọ nara gị uwe ime gị, nyekwa ya uwe nke elu gị.
41 And whoever will impress you one mile, go with him two;
Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ esite nʼike chọọ ka i soro ya gaa puku nzọ ụkwụ atọ, soro ya gaa puku nzọ ụkwụ isii.
42 to him who is asking of you be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from you, you may not turn away.
Nye onye ọbụla rịọrọ gị ihe. Achụghachikwala ndị na-abịa ka i binye ha ego.
43 You heard that it was said: You will love your neighbor, and will hate your enemy;
“Unu nụrụ na e kwuru sị, ‘Hụnụ ndị agbataobi unu nʼanya, ma kpọkwanụ ndị iro unu asị.’
44 but I say to you, love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you,
Ma asị m unu, hụnụ ndị iro unu nʼanya, kpekwaaranụ ndị na-esogbu unu ekpere.
45 that you may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because He causes His sun to rise on evil and good, and He sends rain on righteous and unrighteous.
Nke a ga-eme ka unu bụrụ ụmụ nke Nna unu bi nʼeluigwe, onye na-eme ka anwụ mụọrọ ndị ọma na ndị ọjọọ, na-emekwa ka mmiri zooro ndị ezi omume na ndị ajọ omume.
46 For if you may love those loving you, what reward do you have? Do the tax collectors not also do the same?
Ọ bụrụ naanị ndị hụrụ unu nʼanya ka unu na-ahụ nʼanya, gịnị ga-abụ ụgwọ ọrụ unu? Ọ bụladị ndị ọna ụtụ na-emekwa otu a.
47 And if you may greet your brothers only, what do you do abundant? Do the nations not also do so?
Ọ bụrụkwa na unu na-ekele naanị ndị enyi unu ekele, ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla dị iche nʼebe unu na ndị ọzọ nọ. Nʼihi na ndị na-amaghị Chineke na-emekwa otu ahụ.
48 You will therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.”
Ya mere, unu kwesiri izuoke nʼịrụ ọrụ ọma, dịka Nna unu bi nʼeluigwe si zukwaa oke.
