Matthew 5
1 But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, —and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;
Yesu peauwene msambi wa vandu, akakwela kuchitumbi, akatama. Vawuliwa vaki vakamlanda,
2 and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: —
mwene akatumbula kuvawula, akajova.
3 Happy, the destitute, in spirit; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens;
Vamotisiwa vevavi vangangu mumpungu, muni Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga ndi wavi!
4 Happy, they who mourn; for, they, shall be comforted:
Vamotisiwa vana mvinisu mumtima ndava vambudili Chapanga, muni Chapanga alavapolesa mitima!
5 Happy, the meek; for, they, shall inherit the earth:
Vamotisiwa vangolongondi, muni valahala mulima.
6 Happy, they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for, they, shall be filled:
Vamotisiwa vana njala na vevavi na njota ya kukita geigana Chapanga, muni Chapanga alavayukutisa
7 Happy, the merciful; for, they, shall receive mercy:
Vamotisiwi vevavi na lipyana, muni Chapanga alavahengela lipyana.
8 Happy, the pure, in heart; for, they, shall, see God:
Vamotisiwi vevavi na mtima wa msopi, muni yati valamuwona Chapanga.
9 Happy, the peacemakers; for, they, shall be, called sons of God:
Vamotisiwi vatepulanisa, muni yati vikemelewa vana vaki Chapanga.
10 Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
Vamotisiwi veving'aiswa ndava ya kukita geigana Chapanga, muni Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga ndi wa vene.
11 Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:
“Mumotisiwi nyenye vandu vakavaliga, vakavanyagayi na kuvadetela uhakau ndava ya nene.
12 Rejoice and exult, because, your reward, is great in the heavens; for, so, persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
Mheka na kululuta muni njombi yinu yivaha kunani kwa Chapanga, chenichi ndi chevavahengili Vamlota va Chapanga vevavalongolili kwakona nyenye.”
13 Ye, are the salt of the earth; but, if the salt become tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? it is good, for nothing, any more, save, being cast out, to be trampled on by men.
Nyenye ndi mwinyu wa pamulima! Nambu luyong'onyo lwaki lwakayaga yati yisopewa kiki? Yivya lepi na lihengu kavili yati kutagika kuvala na vandu vakuyilivatila.
14 Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
“Nyenye ndi ngati lumuli lwa pamulima! Muji weujengiwi panani ya chitumbi ufiyika lepi.
15 Neither light they a lamp, and place it under the measure; but upon the lampstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
Vandu vipambika lepi hahi na kuigubika na chiviga, muni yivikiwa panani ya chibokoselu kuvalangasa voha vevavi mugati.
16 In like manner, let your light shine before men, —that they may see your good works, —and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
Mewawa lumuli lwinu luvalangasa palongolo ya vandu, vagalola matendu ginu gabwina, vamlumbalila Dadi winu mweavi kunani.”
17 Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, —I came not to pull down, but to fulfil.
“Mkoto kuhololela kuvya nibweli kuwusa malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa amala mawuliwu ga Vamlota va Chapanga. Nibweli lepi kuwusa, ndi nibweli muni kugatimalisa.
18 For, verily, I say unto you, until the heaven and the earth shall pass away, one least letter, or one point, may in nowise pass away from the law, till all be accomplished.
Nikujovela chakaka, mbaka kunani na mulima yati zihamba, kawaka hati nukuta yimonga yeyiwusiwa mumalagizu mbaka goha gatimila.
19 Whosoever, therefore, shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and teach men so, shall be called, least, in the kingdom of the heavens; but, whosoever shall do and teach, the same, shall be called, great, in the kingdom of the heavens.
Hinu, mundu yeyoha angayidakila hati mihilu umonga udebe kuliku zoha, na kuvawula vangi vakita ago, mwenuyo yati ivya mdebe neju, Muunkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga. Nambu mweiyuwanila na kuvawula vangi mwenuyo yati ivya mvaha muunkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.
20 For I say unto you, that, unless your righteousness exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, in nowise, may ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Muyuwanila, ubwina winu ngati nakuyonjokesa wula wa vawula va malagizu na Vafalisayu, katu nakuyingila mu Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.”
21 Ye have heard, that it was said, to them of olden time, —Thou shalt not commit murder, and, whosoever shall commit murder, shall be, liable, to judgment.
“Mmali kuyuwana kuvya vandu va kadeni chavajoviwi, ‘Ukoto kukoma! Mundu yeyoha mweikoma yikumgana ahamuliwa.’
22 But, I, say unto you, that, every one who is angry with his brother, shall be, liable, to judgment, —and, whosoever shall say to his brother, Worthless one!, shall be, liable, to the high council; and, whosoever shall say, Rebel!, shall be, liable, unto the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, mundu yeyoha mweakumyomela mlongo waki, yati ihamuliwa. Mundu yeyoha mweakumvevesa mlongo waki yati vakumtakila kulibanji la mihalu. Mweakumkemela mlongo waki, ‘Myimu! Yati iyingila kumotu wa magono goha wangajimika.’” (Geenna g1067)
23 If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
“Hinu, ngati upeleka luteta lwaku palongolo ya lusanja lwa luteta, na ukumbwiki kuvya mlongo waku avi na luhonda na veve,
24 leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw, —first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy gift.
Ululeka luteta lwaku pa lusanja lwa luteta, hamba hoti ukatepulana na mlongo waku kangi uwuya kavili uwusa luteta lwaku.”
25 Be making agreement with thine adversary, quickly, while thou art with him, in the way, —lest once thine adversary deliver thee up unto the judge, and the judge, unto the officer, and, into prison, thou be cast.
“Tepulana na mweakutakili kanyata mwakona munjila kuhamba kulibanji la mihalu. Ngati lepi, mweakutakili yati akukugotola mumawoko ga mhamula mihalu, mwene akugotola kwa manjolinjoli na kukungiwa muchifungu.
26 Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
Nikujovela chakaka yati nakuhuma mbaka ulipili sendi ya mwishu.”
27 Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
“Muyuwini kuvya vandu vajoviwi, kotoka kukita ugoni!
28 But, I, say unto you, that, Every one who looketh on a woman so as to covet her, already, hath committed adultery with her, in his heart.
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, kila mundu mweakumlolokesa mdala cha kumnogela amali kugona nayu mumtima waki.
29 And, if, thy right eye, is causing thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, be cast into gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Hinu, lihu laku la upandi wa kulyelela likakubudisa, ulitupula ukalitaga kutali. Mbanga neju, veve kuyaganisa pandu pamonga pa higa yaku, kuliku higa yaku yoha kutagika pamotu wa magono goha wangajimika. (Geenna g1067)
30 And, if, thy right hand, is causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, into gehenna, depart. (Geenna g1067)
Ngati chiwoko chaku cha kulyela chikubudisa chidumulai ukatagayi kutali. Mbanga veve kuyaganisa pandu pamonga pa higa yaku kuliku higa yaku yoha yihambi kumotu wa magono goha wangajimika.” (Geenna g1067)
31 It was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
“Gamali kujovekwa kuvya, ‘Mundu yeyoha mweakumleka mdala waki, amyandakila balua ya kumleka.’
32 But, I, say unto you, that, Everyone who divorceth his wife—saving for unfaithfulness, causeth her to be made an adulteress, —[and, whosoever shall marry a divorced woman, committeth adultery].
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, mundu yeyoha mweakumleka mdala waki, nambu ndu ndava ya kumkamula ugoni, akumkita mkemi. Na mgosi akamgegai mdala yula mwealekiwi ikita ugoni nayu.”
33 Again, ye have heard that it was said, to them of olden time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, —but shalt render unto the Lord, thine oaths.
“Kangi myuwini vandu va kadeni vajoviwi, ‘Ukotoka kudenya chilapu chaku, nambu uganikiwa kutimilisa chilapu chaku kwa Bambu.’
34 But, I, tell you—not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God, —
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, katu mkotoka kulapa, hati kunani kwa Chapanga, muni ndi chigoda cha Chapanga cha unkosi waki,
35 Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because, it is the, city, of the Great King;
amala kulapa kwa mulima muni chigoda cha kuvikila magendelu gaki, amala ku Yelusalemu muni muji wa Nkosi mkulu.
36 Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.
Ukoto kulapa pamutu waku, muni nakuhotola kuuhenga hati luyunju lumonga kuvya lwa msopi amala lutitu.
37 But let your word be, Yea, yea, —Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.
Mkajovai ‘Ena,’ Ndi yivya ‘Ena,’ Mkajovai, ‘Mbwitu,’ Chakaka yivyai ‘Mbwitu,’ Chochoha chechiyonjokeseka pa genago chihumila kwa Setani.”
38 Ye have heard, that it was said, —Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.
“Muyuwini kuvya gajoviki. ‘Lihu kwa lihu, linu kwa linu.’
39 But, I, tell you, not to resist evil, —Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, ukotoka kumuwuyisila mundu mhakau. Mundu akakupamanda, mulitama la kulyela, mng'anamusila na litama la kumangeya.
40 And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.
Mundu akakutakila igana kukunyaga nyula yaku, mlekela atola mewa na likoti laku.
41 And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
Mundu akakukamula kwa makakala ugegai ndwika yaki kilomita yimonga, ugegai kilomita zivili.
42 To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
Mweakukuyupa mpelai, na ukotoka kumtila mundu mweakuyaika chindu.”
43 Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
“Myuwini kuvya gajoviki, mgana muyaku, na mvenga likoko waku.
44 But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting you:
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, muvagana makoko vinu na kuvayupila vala vevakuvang'aisa nyenye,
45 That ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.
muni mpata kuvya vana va Dadi winu mweavi kunani. Muni mwene akuvalangasila lilanga laki vandu makoko na vandu vabwina, na kuvatonyela fula kwa vandu vabwina palongolo yaki na vandu vahakau.
46 For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?
Wu, njombi yoki mwipata kuhuma kwa Chapanga? Ngati mukuvagana vala vevakuvagana nyenye ndu! Kawaka! Muni hati vatola kodi navene vikita mewa!
47 And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
Ngati Mukuvajambusa valongo vinu ndu, mhengili chindu kiki neju kuliku vangi? Muni hati vangammanya Chapanga vikita mewawa.
48 Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is perfect.
Mwiganikiwa mkoto kupungula chochoa mukuhenga gabwina ngati Dadi winu wa kunani kwa Chapanga angapungula.”
