Matthew 5
1 And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had 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 Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
o bido ikuziri ha ihe. Ọ sịrị:
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị bụ ogbenye nʼime mmụọ, nʼihi na alaeze eluigwe bụ nke ha.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị na-eru ụjụ, nʼihi na a ga-akasị ha obi.
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị dị nwayọọ nʼobi, nʼihi na ha ga-eketa ụwa.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị agụụ ezi omume na-agụ, nʼihi na ndị ahụ ka afọ ga-eju.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị na-eme obi ebere, nʼihi na ha ka a ga-emere ebere.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị dị ọcha nʼobi, nʼihi na ha ga-ahụ Chineke anya.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children 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 are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị a na-emegbu nʼihi ezi omume, nʼihi na alaeze eluigwe bụ nke ha.
11 "Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil 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 exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how 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 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.
“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 located on a hill cannot be hidden.
“Unu bụ ihe nke ụwa. Unu dị ka obodo e wuru nʼelu ugwu nke a na-apụghị izo ezo.
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.
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 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.
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 think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to 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 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)
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 are offering your gift at the altar, and there 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 your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer 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 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.
“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 tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
Nʼezie, agwa m gị, ị gaghị e si nʼebe ahụ pụta ruo mgbe ị kwụghachiri kobo niile i ji.
27 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
“Unu nụrụ na e kwuru sị, ‘Akwala iko.’
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.
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 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)
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 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)
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, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate 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 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.
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 have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'Do not make false vows, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.'
“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 tell you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for 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, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for 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 Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot 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 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever 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 have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a 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 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.
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 if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ agbaa gị akwụkwọ nʼụlọikpe, ka ọ nara gị uwe ime gị, nyekwa ya uwe nke elu gị.
41 And whoever compels you to go 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 Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
Nye onye ọbụla rịọrọ gị ihe. Achụghachikwala ndị na-abịa ka i binye ha ego.
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
“Unu nụrụ na e kwuru sị, ‘Hụnụ ndị agbataobi unu nʼanya, ma kpọkwanụ ndị iro unu asị.’
44 But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
Ma asị m unu, hụnụ ndị iro unu nʼanya, kpekwaaranụ ndị na-esogbu unu ekpere.
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.
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 love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors 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 only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
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 therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Ya mere, unu kwesiri izuoke nʼịrụ ọrụ ọma, dịka Nna unu bi nʼeluigwe si zukwaa oke.
