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;
Nígbà tí ó rí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, ó gun orí òkè lọ ó sì jókòó. Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ si tọ̀ ọ́ wá.
2 and he began to teach them, saying:
Ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí kọ́ wọn. Ó wí pé,
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Alábùkún fún ni àwọn òtòṣì ní ẹ̀mí, nítorí tiwọn ni ìjọba ọ̀run.
4 Blessed are the mourners, for they will be comforted.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀, nítorí a ó tù wọ́n nínú.
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn ọlọ́kàn tútù, nítorí wọn yóò jogún ayé.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn tí ebi ń pa tí òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ́ nítorí òdodo, nítorí wọn yóò yó.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will find mercy.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn aláàánú, nítorí wọn yóò rí àánú gbà.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn ọlọ́kàn mímọ́, nítorí wọn yóò rí Ọlọ́run.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn onílàjà, nítorí ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni a ó máa pè wọ́n.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted in the cause of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Alábùkún fún ni àwọn ẹni tí a ṣe inúnibíni sí, nítorí tí wọ́n jẹ́ olódodo nítorí tiwọn ní ìjọba ọ̀run.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil lies about you because of me.
“Alábùkún fún ni ẹ̀yin nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn bá fi àbùkù kàn yín tí wọn bá ṣe inúnibíni sí yín, tiwọn fi ètè èké sọ̀rọ̀ búburú gbogbo sí yín nítorí mi.
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.
Ẹ yọ̀, kí ẹ̀yin sì fò fún ayọ̀, nítorí ńlá ni èrè yín ní ọ̀run, nítorí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣe ṣe inúnibíni sí àwọn wòlíì tí ń bẹ ṣáájú yín.
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.
“Ẹ̀yin ni iyọ̀ ayé. Ṣùgbọ́n bí iyọ̀ bá di òbu kí ni a ó fi mú un dùn? Kò tún wúlò fún ohunkóhun mọ́, bí kò ṣe pé kí a dàánù, kí ó sì di ohun tí ènìyàn ń fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀.
14 It is you who are the light of the world. A town that stands on a hill cannot be hidden.
“Ẹyin ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ ayé. Ìlú tí a tẹ̀dó sórí òkè kò lè fi ara sin.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kì í tan fìtílà tán, kí a sì gbé e sí abẹ́ òsùwọ̀n; bí kò ṣe sí orí ọ̀pá fìtílà, a sì tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún gbogbo ẹni tí ń bẹ nínú ilé.
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.
Bákan náà, ẹ jẹ́ kí ìmọ́lẹ̀ yín kí ó mọ́lẹ̀ níwájú ènìyàn, kí wọ́n lè máa rí iṣẹ́ rere yín, kí wọn lè máa yin baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run lógo.
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.
“Ẹ má ṣe rò pé, èmí wá láti pa òfin àwọn wòlíì run, èmi kò wá láti pa wọn rẹ́, bí kò ṣe láti mú wọn ṣẹ.
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.
Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún un yín, títí ọ̀run òun ayé yóò fi kọjá, àmì kínkínní tí a fi gègé ṣe kan kì yóò parẹ́ kúrò nínú gbogbo òfin tó wà nínú ìwé òfin títí gbogbo rẹ̀ yóò fi wá sí ìmúṣẹ.
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.
Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó bá rú òfin tí ó tilẹ̀ kéré jùlọ, tí ó sì kọ́ ẹlòmíràn láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, òun ni yóò kéré jùlọ ní ìjọba ọ̀run, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá ń ṣe wọ́n, tí ó sì ń kọ́ wọn, ni yóò jẹ́ ẹni ńlá ní ìjọba ọ̀run.
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.
Nítorí náà ni mo ti wí fún yín pé àfi bí òdodo yín bá ju ti àwọn Farisi àti ti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin lọ, dájúdájú ẹ̀yin kì yóò le wọ ìjọba ọ̀run.
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.’
“Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí a ti wí fún àwọn ará ìgbàanì pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ pànìyàn, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá pànìyàn yóò wà nínú ewu ìdájọ́.’
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)
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún un yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bínú sí arákùnrin rẹ̀ yóò wà nínú ewu ìdájọ́. Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó ba wí fun arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ráákà,’ yóò fi ara hàn níwájú ìgbìmọ̀ àwọn àgbà Júù; ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá wí pé, ‘Ìwọ wèrè!’ yóò wà nínú ewu iná ọ̀run àpáàdì. (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,
“Nítorí náà, nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń mú ẹ̀bùn rẹ wá síwájú pẹpẹ, bí ìwọ bá sì rántí níbẹ̀ pé arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni ohùn kan nínú sí ọ.
24 leave your gift there, before the altar, go and be reconciled to them, first, then come and present your gift.
Fi ẹ̀bùn rẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú pẹpẹ. Ìwọ kọ́kọ́ lọ ṣe ìlàjà láàrín ìwọ àti arákùnrin rẹ̀ na. Lẹ́yìn náà, wá kí ó sì fi ẹ̀bùn rẹ sílẹ̀.
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.
“Bá ọ̀tá rẹ làjà kánkán, ẹni tí ó ń gbé ọ lọ sílé ẹjọ́. Ṣe é nígbà ti ó wà ní ọ̀nà pẹ̀lú rẹ, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yóò fà ọ́ lé onídàájọ́ lọ́wọ́, onídàájọ́ yóò sí fá ọ lé àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ lọ́wọ́, wọ́n a sì sọ ọ́ sínú túbú.
26 I tell you, you will not come out until you have paid the last cent.
Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún ọ, ìwọ kì yóò jáde kúrò níbẹ̀ títí tí ìwọ yóò fi san ẹyọ owó kan tí ó kù.
27 “You have heard that it was said – ‘You must not commit adultery.’
“Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí òfin ti wí pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe panṣágà.’
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo wí fún yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wo obìnrin kan ní ìwòkuwò, ti bà ṣe panṣágà nínú ọkàn rẹ̀.
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)
Bí ojú ọ̀tún rẹ bá mú ọ kọsẹ̀, yọ ọ́ jáde, kí ó sì sọ ọ́ nù. Ó sá à ní èrè fún ọ kí ẹ̀yà ara rẹ kan ṣègbé, ju kí a gbé gbogbo ara rẹ jù sí iná ọ̀run àpáàdì. (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)
Bí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ bá mú ọ kọsẹ̀, gé e kúrò, kí ó sì sọ ọ́ nù. Ó sá à ní èrè kí ẹ̀yà ara rẹ kan ṣègbé ju kí a gbé gbogbo ara rẹ jù sí iná ọ̀run àpáàdì. (Geenna g1067)
31 “It was also said – ‘Let anyone who divorces his wife serve her with a notice of separation.’
“A ti wí pẹ̀lú pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, jẹ́ kí ó fi ìwé ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ lé e lọ́wọ́.’
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi sọ èyí fún yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, láìṣe pé nítorí àgbèrè, ó mú un ṣe àgbèrè, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì gbé ẹni tí a kọ̀ ní ìyàwó, ó ṣe panṣágà.
33 Again, you have heard that our ancestors were told – ‘Do not break your oaths, keep your vows to the Lord.’
“Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí a ti wí fún àwọn ará ìgbàanì pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ búra èké bí kò ṣe pé kí ìwọ kí ó mú ìbúra rẹ̀ fún Olúwa ṣẹ.’
34 But I say to you that you must not swear at all, either by heaven, since that is God’s throne,
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín, ẹ má ṣe búra rárá: ìbá à ṣe fífi ọ̀run búra, nítorí ìtẹ́ Ọlọ́run ni.
35 or by the earth, since that is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, since that is the city of the Great King.
Tàbí fi ayé búra, nítorí àpótí ìtìsẹ̀ Ọlọ́run ni; tàbí Jerusalẹmu, nítorí olórí ìlú ọba ńlá ni.
36 Nor should you swear by your head, since you cannot make a single hair either white or black.
Má ṣe fi orí rẹ búra, nítorí ìwọ kò lè sọ irun ẹyọ kan di funfun tàbí di dúdú.
37 Let your words be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from what is evil.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yín jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àti bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yín jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ohunkóhun tí ó ba ju ìwọ̀nyí lọ, wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni ibi.
38 “You have heard that it was said – ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
“Ẹ̀yin tí gbọ́ bí òfin tí wí pé, ‘Ojú fún ojú àti eyín fún eyín.’
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín pé, ẹ má ṣe tako ẹni ibi. Bí ẹnìkan bá gbá ọ lẹ́rẹ̀kẹ́ ọ̀tún, yí ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́ òsì sí olúwa rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
40 If someone sues you for your shirt, let them have your cloak as well.
Bí ẹnìkan bá fẹ́ gbé ọ lọ sílé ẹjọ́, tí ó sì fẹ́ gba ẹ̀wù àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, jọ̀wọ́ agbádá rẹ fún un pẹ̀lú.
41 If you are forced to carry a soldier’s pack for one mile, carry it two.
Bí ẹni kan bá fẹ́ fi agbára mú ọ rìn ibùsọ̀ kan, bá a lọ ní ibùsọ̀ méjì.
42 Give to anyone who asks and, if someone wants to borrow from you, do not turn them away.
Fi fún ẹni tí ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó ń fẹ́ wín lọ́wọ́ rẹ, má ṣe mú ojú kúrò.
43 You have heard that it was said – ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
“Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí òfin ti wí pé, ‘Ìwọ fẹ́ ọmọnìkejì rẹ, kí ìwọ sì kórìíra ọ̀tá rẹ̀.’
44 But what I tell you is this: love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín pé, ẹ fẹ́ràn àwọn ọ̀tá yín kí ẹ sì gbàdúrà fún àwọn tí ń ṣe inúnibíni sí yín.
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.
Kí ẹ̀yin lè jẹ́ ọmọ Baba yín ti ń bẹ ní ọ̀run. Ó mú kí oòrùn rẹ̀ ràn sára ènìyàn búburú àti ènìyàn rere, ó rọ̀jò fún àwọn olódodo àti fún àwọn aláìṣòdodo.
46 For, if you love only those who love you, what reward will you have? Even the tax collectors do this!
Bí ẹ̀yin bá fẹ́ràn àwọn tí ó fẹ́ràn yín nìkan, èrè kí ni ẹ̀yin ní? Àwọn agbowó òde kò ha ń ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́?
47 And, if you only welcome your brothers and sisters, what are you doing more than others? Even the Gentiles do this!
Àti bí ó bá sì jẹ́ pé kìkì àwọn arákùnrin yín nìkan ni ẹ̀yin ń kí, kín ni ẹ̀yin ń ṣe ju àwọn mìíràn lọ? Àwọn kèfèrí kò ha ń ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ bí?
48 You, then, must become perfect – as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Nítorí náà, ẹ jẹ́ pípé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run ṣe jẹ́ pípé.
