Matthew 5
1 On seeing the crowds of people, Jesus went up the hill; and, when he had taken his seat, his disciples came up to him;
UYesu ye aghavwene amapungha ghala, akatogha pa kidunda, akikala. Avavulanisua vaake vakaluta pa mwene.
2 and he began to teach them, saying:
pe akategula kukuvavulanisia, akati,
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Vafunyilue vano vikumlonda uNguluvi kukila ifingi fyoni ulwakuva vilikwupila uluvonolo lwane ku vutwa uvwa kunyanya.
4 Blessed are the mourners, for they will be comforted.
Vafunyilue vano vali nu lusukunalo, ulwakuva uNguluve ilikuvanyamasia.
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
Vafunyilue avakoola, ulwakuva uNguluve ilivapeela uvuhaasi uvwa iisi.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Vafunyilue vano visyukua kuvomba sino ikeela uNGuluve, ulwakuva uNguluve ilikuvapeela fyoni.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will find mercy.
Vafunyilue vano vali nu lusungu, ulwakuva uNguluve ilikuvasungukila.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Vafunyilue vano vali nu mwojo um'balafu, ulwakuva vilikumwagha uNguluve.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Vafunyilue vano vikusambania avaanhu, ulwakuava vitambulwagha vana va Nguluve.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted in the cause of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Vafunyilue vano vipumusivua vwimila kuvomba sino ikeela uNguluve, ulwakuva uvutwa vwa kukyanya vwane.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil lies about you because of me.
Mufunyilue umue, avaanhu pano vikuvaligha, vikuvapumusia na kukuvajova fivi mu nyinga vwimila une.
12 Be glad and rejoice, because your reward in heaven will be great; this is the way they persecuted the prophets who lived before you.
Muhovokaghe fiijo na kuuva nu lukeelo, ulwakuva uluvonolo lwinu kukyanya, lugome. Enendiiki nava vavili vano valyalongwile fye valyapumusivue.
13 “You are salt for the world. But if salt becomes tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown away, and trampled underfoot.
Umue muli mwinyo ku vaanhu va mu iisi. Neke umwinyo ghungasupuke lwoni, ndepoonu ghuviika kiki kugomosia ulunoneesi? Umwinyo ughuo, naghunoghiile nambe padebe, looli ghuuva ghwa kutaghua, ghukanyweghe na vaanhu.
14 It is you who are the light of the world. A town that stands on a hill cannot be hidden.
“Umue muli lumuli ku vaanhu va mu iisi. Ilikaaja lino lijengilue pakyanya pa kidunda, nalingifise.
15 People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lamp-stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.
Kange, vaanhu navikunga itaaala na kukupikila ni liteneka, looli viviika pa kyimilo kuuti jivamulikaghe vooni vano vali mu nyumba.
16 Let your light so shine before the eyes of others so that, seeing your good actions, they will praise your Father who is in heaven.
Fye enendiiki, ulumuli lwinu lumulikaghe, kuuti avaanhu valolaghe imbombo siinu inofu, mu uluo vamughiniaghe, uNhaata ghwinu juno ali kukyanya.
17 “Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law or the prophets; I have not come to do away with them, but to complete them.
“Mulekaghe kusaagha kuuti nisile kuvusia indeaghilo sa Moose, nambe imbulanisio isa vavilu, jeeje? Looli nisile kukwilanisia.
18 For I tell you, until the heavens and the earth disappear, not even the smallest letter, nor one stroke of a letter, will disappear from the Law until all is done.
Kyang'haani nikuvavuula kuuti, uvulanga ni iisi pano fikyale kusovanika, nakwekale nambe akakelo kamo aka ndaghilo kano ndepoonu kivusivua, kuhanga fyoni fino uNguluve alyalaghile, fivombeke.
19 Whoever, therefore, breaks one of these commandments, even the least of them, and teaches others to do so, will be the least esteemed in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps them, and teaches others to do so, will be esteemed great in the kingdom of heaven.
Lino umuunhu ghweni juno ideenya ululaghilo, nambe luno musaagha kuuti lulaghilo ludebe kukila sooni, kange ivulanisia avange kuvomba uluo, ujuo iiva n'debe fiijo mu nutwa vwa kukyanya. Neke umuunhu ghweni juno ivingilila indaghilo na kuvulanisia avange kuuti vasivingililaghe, ujuo iiva m'baha mu vutwa vwa kukyanya.
20 Indeed I tell you that, unless you obey God’s commands better than of the teachers of the Law, and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Lino, nikuvavuula kuuti, nave uvugholofu vwinu navukika uvugholofu uvwa Vafalisayi nu vwa vavulanisi va ngaghilo, namulingila lusiku mu vutwa vwa kukyanya.
21 “You have heard that to our ancestors it was said – ‘You must not commit murder,’ and ‘Whoever commits murder will be brought to trial.’
“Mupuliike vule avakuulu viinu valyavulilue kuuti, 'Nungabudaghe, umuunhu ghweni juno ibuda un'jaake, anoghiile kuhighua,'
22 But I say to you that anyone who is angry at their brother or sister will be brought to trial; and whoever insults their brother or sister will be brought before the High Council, while whoever calls them a fool will be in danger of the fires of Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Neke une nikuvavuula kuuti umuunhu ghweni juno kalalila un, jaake, anoghile kuhighua. Kange, umuunhu ghweni juno iligha un, jaake kuuti n, jasu, anoghile kuhighua pa kipugha kya valongosi. Umuunhu ghweni juno iligha un'jaaake kuuti mululute, anoghiile kutaghua ku lupumuko lwa mwoto ghuno naghusima lusiku. (Geenna g1067)
23 Therefore, when presenting your gift at the altar, if even there you remember that your brother or sister has something against you,
“Lino, nave uletile ilitekelo lyako pa kitekelelo kukuntavulila uNguluve, neke ghukumbuka kuuti un, jaako ali ni lisio nuuve.
24 leave your gift there, before the altar, go and be reconciled to them, first, then come and present your gift.
Lileke ilitekelo ilio pa kitekelelo, neke ulute asambane taasi nu n'jaako, pe ghwise utavule ilitekelo lyako ilio.
25 Be ready to make friends with your opponent, even when you meet them on your way to the court; otherwise they might hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the judicial officer, and you will be thrown into prison.
“Kange, nave umuunhu jumonga ikukutwala kwa mhighi, unsuume ng'haning'haani kuuti musambane vul, e mujiighe. mu sila. Nave naghuvomba uluo, ikukuviika mu mavoko gha mhighi. Ghwope umhighi ikukutwala kwa masinjala kuuti akudindile mu ndinde.
26 I tell you, you will not come out until you have paid the last cent.
Kyang'haani nikukuvuula, nungahume munkate umuo kuhanga uhombe fyoni fino ghusighilua.
27 “You have heard that it was said – ‘You must not commit adultery.’
“Mupuliike vule avaanhu valyavulilue kuuti, 'Nungavwafukaghe.'
28 But I say to you that anyone who looks at a woman and desires her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Neke une nikuvavuula kuuti, umuunhu ghweni juno ikumulola umukijuuva mukwa kunnoghelua, iiva avwafwike naghwo mu mwojo ghwake.
29 If your right eye causes you to sin, take it out and throw it away. It would be best for you to lose one part of your body, and not to have the whole of it thrown into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Lino, iliiso lyako lingakwambusie, ng'omotola, utaaghe ku vutali. Yekuba kusofia ikilungo kimo m'bili, ghwoni kutaghua ku lupumuko lwa mwoto ghuno naghusima lusiku. (Geenna g1067)
30 And, if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It would be best for you to lose one part of your body, and not to have the whole of it go down to Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Kange, uluvoko lwako lungakwambusie dumula attaghe ku vutali. Ulwakuva yekuba kusofia ikilungo kimo mu m'bili, kukila um'bili ghwoni kutaghua ku lupumuko lwa mwoto ghuno naghusima lusiku. (Geenna g1067)
31 “It was also said – ‘Let anyone who divorces his wife serve her with a notice of separation.’
“Kange, lilyajovilue kuuti, 'Umuunhu juno ikuntavula un'dala ghwake, ampelaghe ikalata ija kuntavula.'
32 But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of some serious sexual sin, leads to her committing adultery; while anyone who marries her after her divorce is guilty of adultery.
Neke une nikuvavuula kuuti, umuunhu ghweni juno itavula un'dala ghwake, nave un'dala ujuo nam'bwafu, ikumpelela kuuva m'bwafu. Kange, umuunhu angatoole un'dala juno umughoosi antwavil, e, ghwope ivva ivwafuka.
33 Again, you have heard that our ancestors were told – ‘Do not break your oaths, keep your vows to the Lord.’
“Kange, mupuliike vule avakuulu viinu valyavulilue kuuti, ulekaghe kujiigha isa vudesi, 'Looli pano ujighile, uvombaghe sooni sino ujighile,'
34 But I say to you that you must not swear at all, either by heaven, since that is God’s throne,
Neke une nikuvavuula kuuti, namungajighaghe nambe pedebe. Namungajighaghe mulwa kutambula kukyanya, ulwakuva kye kitengo ikya vutwa ikya Nguluve,
35 or by the earth, since that is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, since that is the city of the Great King.
Nambe kujiisha mulwa kutambula iisi ulwakuva pepano uNguluvi iviika amaghulu ghaake; nambe kujiigha mulwa kutambula ilikaaja ilya Yelusalemu, ulwakuva lye likaaja lya Ntwa um'baha.
36 Nor should you swear by your head, since you cannot make a single hair either white or black.
Kange, namungajighaghe mulwa kutambula amatu ghiinu, ulwakuva namungadule nambe ulunyele lumo kuuva luvalafu nambe kuuva lutiitu.
37 Let your words be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from what is evil.
Lino, nave mukwitika, mutisaghe, 'Eena,' nave mukaana mutisaghe, 'Ndali', ulwakuva sooni sino ikwangelela mu isio, sihuma kwa Mhosi uSetano.
38 “You have heard that it was said – ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
“Mupulike vule lilyajovilue kuuti, 'Umuunhu angakung'omotole iliiso, na juuve ng'omotola ilyake, angakukuule iliino, na juuve kuula ilyake.'
39 But I say to you that you must not resist those who wrong you; but, if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to them also.
neke une nikakuvuula kuuti, umuunhu juno akuvombiile uvuviivi, nungavangilaghe. Umuunhu angakusevula uvudili uvwa kundio, unsyetukisie nu vwa kung'highi.
40 If someone sues you for your shirt, let them have your cloak as well.
Nave umuunhu ikukutwala pa vuhighi kuhighua mu vufumbue uvwa kutoola ighwandi jaako, mulekele atoole nali likooti.
41 If you are forced to carry a soldier’s pack for one mile, carry it two.
Nave umuunhu ikukwumilisia kupinda unsigho ghwake mu lughendo ulwa kavalilo kamo, uve ulghendaghe ifivalilo fivili.
42 Give to anyone who asks and, if someone wants to borrow from you, do not turn them away.
Kange, umuunhu angakusuume kimonga, mpeele. Nav e umuunhu ilinda kukopa kulyuve, nungankanaghe.
43 You have heard that it was said – ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
Mupuliike vule lilyajovilue kuuti, Umughanaghe unnino, na kukunkalalila umulugu ghwako.'
44 But what I tell you is this: love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
Neke une nikuvavuula kuuti, muvaghanaghe avalugu viinu, kange muvasumilaghe kwa Nuluve vano ali vikuva pumusia.
45 so that you may become children of your Father who is in heaven; for he causes his sun to rise on bad and good alike, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
Apuo pe muuva vaana va Nhaata ghwinu juno ali kukyanya, ulwakuva umwene ikuvapeela ulujuva avaanhu avanofu na vaviivi. Kange, ilikuvapeela ifula avagholofu na vano navagholofu.
46 For, if you love only those who love you, what reward will you have? Even the tax collectors do this!
Mungavaghane va vano vikuvaghana umue, muuva nu luvumbililo luki? Ongo voope avasongesia songo vivomba vulevul, e.
47 And, if you only welcome your brothers and sisters, what are you doing more than others? Even the Gentiles do this!
Kange, nave mukuvahungila va vajiinu muvomba kiki ikinofu kukila avange? Ongo voope avapanji vihungilana vule vule.
48 You, then, must become perfect – as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Lino, muvisaghe vagholofu ndavule uNhaata ghwinu juno ali kukyanya vule mugholofu.
