Matthew 5
1 And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
Basi Yesu alipoona makutano, alipanda mlimani akaketi chini, nao wanafunzi wake wakamjia.
2 Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
Ndipo akaanza kuwafundisha, akisema:
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Heri walio maskini wa roho, maana Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni wao.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Heri wale wanaohuzunika, maana hao watafarijiwa.
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
Heri walio wapole, maana hao watairithi nchi.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya haki, maana hao watatoshelezwa.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
Heri wenye huruma, maana hao watapata rehema.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Heri walio na moyo safi, maana hao watamwona Mungu.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
Heri walio wapatanishi, maana hao wataitwa wana wa Mungu.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Heri wanaoteswa kwa sababu ya haki, maana Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni wao.
11 "Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
“Heri ninyi watu watakapowashutumu, na kuwatesa na kunena dhidi yenu mabaya ya aina zote kwa uongo kwa ajili yangu.
12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Furahini na kushangilia kwa maana thawabu yenu ni kubwa mbinguni, kwa kuwa hivyo ndivyo walivyowatesa manabii waliokuwa kabla yenu.
13 "You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trampled under people's feet.
“Ninyi ni chumvi ya ulimwengu. Lakini chumvi ikipoteza ladha yake, yawezaje kurudishiwa ladha yake tena? Haifai tena kwa kitu chochote, ila kutupwa nje ikanyagwe na watu.
14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
“Ninyi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Mji uliojengwa kilimani hauwezi kufichika.
15 Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
Wala watu hawawashi taa na kuifunika kwa bakuli. Badala yake, huiweka kwenye kinara chake, nayo hutoa mwanga kwa kila mtu aliyemo ndani ya ile nyumba.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before people, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Vivyo hivyo, nuru yenu iangaze mbele ya watu, ili wapate kuona matendo yenu mema wamtukuze Baba yenu aliye mbinguni.
17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
“Msidhani kwamba nimekuja kufuta Sheria au Manabii; sikuja kuondoa bali kutimiza.
18 For truly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will disappear from the Law, until all things are accomplished.
Kwa maana, amin nawaambia, mpaka mbingu na dunia zitakapopita, hakuna hata herufi moja ndogo wala nukta itakayopotea kwa namna yoyote kutoka kwenye Sheria, mpaka kila kitu kiwe kimetimia.
19 Therefore, whoever will break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever will do and teach them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Kwa hiyo, yeyote atakayevunja mojawapo ya amri ndogo kuliko zote ya amri hizi, naye akawafundisha wengine kufanya hivyo, ataitwa mdogo kabisa katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni, lakini yeyote azitendaye na kuzifundisha hizi amri ataitwa mkuu katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni.
20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Kwa maana nawaambia, haki yenu isipozidi haki ya Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria, kamwe hamtaingia katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni.
21 "You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
“Mmesikia walivyoambiwa watu wa zamani kwamba, ‘Usiue. Yeyote atakayeua atapaswa hukumu.’
22 But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be liable to judgment; and whoever will say to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be in danger of the council; and whoever will say, 'You fool,' will be in danger of the fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
Lakini mimi nawaambia kwamba, yeyote atakayemkasirikia ndugu yake, atapaswa hukumu. Tena, yeyote atakayemwambia ndugu yake, ‘Raka,’atapaswa kujibu kwa Baraza la Wayahudi. Lakini yeyote atakayesema ‘Wewe mpumbavu!’ atapaswa hukumu ya moto wa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
23 "If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
“Kwa hiyo, kama unatoa sadaka yako madhabahuni, ukakumbuka kuwa ndugu yako ana kitu dhidi yako,
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
iache sadaka yako hapo mbele ya madhabahu. Enda kwanza ukapatane na ndugu yako; kisha urudi na ukatoe sadaka yako.
25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
“Patana na mshtaki wako upesi wakati uwapo njiani pamoja naye kwenda mahakamani, ili mshtaki wako asije akakutia mikononi mwa hakimu, naye hakimu akakutia mikononi mwa askari, nawe ukatupwa gerezani.
26 Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
Amin, nakuambia, hautatoka humo hadi uwe umelipa senti ya mwisho.
27 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
“Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Usizini.’
28 but I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Lakini mimi nawaambia kwamba, yeyote amtazamaye mwanamke kwa kumtamani, amekwisha kuzini naye moyoni mwake.
29 And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Jicho lako la kuume likikusababisha kutenda dhambi, lingʼoe ulitupe mbali. Ni afadhali kwako kupoteza kiungo kimoja cha mwili wako kuliko mwili wako mzima ukatupwa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Kama mkono wako wa kuume ukikusababisha kutenda dhambi, ukate, uutupe mbali. Ni afadhali kwako kupoteza kiungo kimoja cha mwili wako kuliko mwili wako mzima utupwe jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
31 "And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
“Pia ilinenwa kwamba, ‘Mtu yeyote amwachaye mkewe sharti ampe hati ya talaka.’
32 but I tell you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.
Lakini mimi nawaambia, yeyote amwachaye mkewe isipokuwa kwa kosa la uasherati, amfanya mkewe kuwa mzinzi. Na yeyote amwoaye yule mwanamke aliyeachwa, anazini.
33 "Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'Do not make false vows, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.'
“Tena mmesikia walivyoambiwa watu wa zamani kwamba, ‘Usiape kwa uongo, bali timiza kiapo kile ulichofanya kwa Bwana.’
34 But I tell you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
Lakini mimi nawaambia, msiape kabisa: iwe kwa mbingu, kwa kuwa ni kiti cha enzi cha Mungu;
35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
au kwa dunia, kwa kuwa ndipo mahali pake pa kuwekea miguu; au kwa Yerusalemu, kwa kuwa ndio mji wa Mfalme Mkuu.
36 Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
Nanyi msiape kwa vichwa vyenu, kwa kuwa hamwezi kuufanya hata unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
‘Ndiyo’ yenu iwe ‘Ndiyo,’ na ‘Hapana’ yenu iwe ‘Hapana.’ Lolote zaidi ya hili latoka kwa yule mwovu.
38 "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
“Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Jicho kwa jicho na jino kwa jino.’
39 But I tell you, do not set yourself against the one who is evil. But whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Lakini mimi nawaambia, msishindane na mtu mwovu. Lakini kama mtu akikupiga kwenye shavu la kuume, mgeuzie na la pili pia.
40 And if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
Kama mtu akitaka kukushtaki na kuchukua joho lako, mwachie achukue na koti pia.
41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
Kama mtu akikulazimisha kwenda maili moja, nenda naye maili mbili.
42 Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
Mpe yeye akuombaye, wala usimgeuzie kisogo yeye atakaye kukukopa.
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
“Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Mpende jirani yako na umchukie adui yako.’
44 But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
Lakini ninawaambia: Wapendeni adui zenu na waombeeni wanaowatesa ninyi,
45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
ili mpate kuwa watoto wa Baba yenu aliye mbinguni. Kwa maana yeye huwaangazia jua lake watu waovu na watu wema, naye huwanyeshea mvua wenye haki na wasio haki.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Kama mkiwapenda tu wale wanaowapenda, mtapata thawabu gani? Je, hata watoza ushuru hawafanyi hivyo?
47 And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
Nanyi kama mkiwasalimu ndugu zenu tu, je, mnafanya nini zaidi ya wengine? Je, hata watu wasiomjua Mungu, hawafanyi hivyo?
48 You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Kwa hiyo kuweni wakamilifu kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
