Matthew 5
1 Having seen then the crowds He went up on the mountain, and when was sitting down He they came to Him the disciples of Him.
Basi Yesu alipoona makutano, alipanda mlimani akaketi chini, nao wanafunzi wake wakamjia.
2 And opening the mouth of Him He was teaching them saying:
Ndipo akaanza kuwafundisha, akisema:
3 Blessed [are] the poor in the spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
“Heri walio maskini wa roho, maana Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni wao.
4 Blessed [are] those mourning, for they themselves will be comforted.
Heri wale wanaohuzunika, maana hao watafarijiwa.
5 Blessed [are] the meek, for they themselves will inherit the earth.
Heri walio wapole, maana hao watairithi nchi.
6 Blessed [are] those hungering and thirsting for righteousness, for they themselves will be filled.
Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya haki, maana hao watatoshelezwa.
7 Blessed [are] the merciful, for they themselves will receive mercy.
Heri wenye huruma, maana hao watapata rehema.
8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart, for they themselves God will see.
Heri walio na moyo safi, maana hao watamwona Mungu.
9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers, for they themselves sons of God will be called.
Heri walio wapatanishi, maana hao wataitwa wana wa Mungu.
10 Blessed [are] those persecuted on account of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
Heri wanaoteswa kwa sababu ya haki, maana Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni wao.
11 Blessed are you when they may insult you and they may persecute [you] and they may say all kinds of evil (declaration *k*) against you lying on account of Me.
“Heri ninyi watu watakapowashutumu, na kuwatesa na kunena dhidi yenu mabaya ya aina zote kwa uongo kwa ajili yangu.
12 do rejoice and do exult, for the reward of you [is] great in the heavens; thus for they persecuted the prophets before you.
Furahini na kushangilia kwa maana thawabu yenu ni kubwa mbinguni, kwa kuwa hivyo ndivyo walivyowatesa manabii waliokuwa kabla yenu.
13 You yourselves are the salt of the earth; if however the salt shall become tasteless, with what will it be salted? For no [thing] it is useful any longer only except for (being cast *N(k)O*) out (and *k*) is to be trampled upon by men.
“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 yourselves are the light of the world; Not is able a city to be hidden on a hill lying;
“Ninyi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Mji uliojengwa kilimani hauwezi kufichika.
15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket but upon the lampstand, and it shines for all those 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 Thus should shine the light of you before men so that they may see your good works and they may glorify the Father of you who [is] in the heavens.
Vivyo hivyo, nuru yenu iangaze mbele ya watu, ili wapate kuona matendo yenu mema wamtukuze Baba yenu aliye mbinguni.
17 Not may think that I have come to abolish the law or the Prophets; not I have come to abolish but to fulfill.
“Msidhani kwamba nimekuja kufuta Sheria au Manabii; sikuja kuondoa bali kutimiza.
18 Amen for I say to you; until when may pass away the heaven and the earth, iota one or one stroke of a letter certainly not may pass away from the law until when everything may happen.
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 Who[ever] if then shall break one of the commandments of these the least and shall teach so the others, least he will be called in the kingdom of the heavens. who[ever] now maybe may keep and may teach [them], this [one] great will be called in the kingdom of the heavens.
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 I say for to you that only unless shall abound your righteousness above [that] of the scribes and Pharisees, certainly not shall you enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
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 ancients; Not you will murder; who[ever] now maybe may murder, liable will be to the judgment;’
“Mmesikia walivyoambiwa watu wa zamani kwamba, ‘Usiue. Yeyote atakayeua atapaswa hukumu.’
22 I myself however say to you that everyone who is being angry with the brother of him (in vain *KO*) liable will be to the judgment; who[ever] now maybe may say to the brother of him; Raca,’ liable will be to the Sanhedrin; who[ever] now maybe may say; Fool, liable will be to the hell of fire. (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 shall offer the gift of you at the altar and there and there shall remember that the brother of you has something against you,
“Kwa hiyo, kama unatoa sadaka yako madhabahuni, ukakumbuka kuwa ndugu yako ana kitu dhidi yako,
24 do leave there the gift of you before the altar and do go away, first do be reconciled to the brother of you, and then having come do offer the gift of you.
iache sadaka yako hapo mbele ya madhabahu. Enda kwanza ukapatane na ndugu yako; kisha urudi na ukatoe sadaka yako.
25 do be agreeing with the accuser of you quickly before which you are with him on the way otherwise otherwise you shall deliver the accuser to the judge, and the judge (you he may betray *KO*) to the officer, and into prison you will be cast.
“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 Amen I say to you; certainly not you may come out from there until when you may pay the last kodranten!
Amin, nakuambia, hautatoka humo hadi uwe umelipa senti ya mwisho.
27 You have heard that it was said (to the ancients: *K*) Not will you commit adultery.’
“Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Usizini.’
28 I myself however say to you that everyone who is looking upon a woman in order to lust after (her *N(k)O*) already has committed adultery with her in the heart of him.
Lakini mimi nawaambia kwamba, yeyote amtazamaye mwanamke kwa kumtamani, amekwisha kuzini naye moyoni mwake.
29 If now the eye of you right causes to stumble you, do pluck out it and do cast [it] from you; it is better indeed for you that may perish one of the members of you and not all the body of you may 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 the right of you hand causes to stumble you, do cut off it and do cast [it] from you; it is better indeed for you that may perish one of the members of you and not all the body of you into hell (may depart. *N(K)O*) (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 It was said also (that: *k*) Who[ever] maybe may divorce the wife of him, he should give to her a letter of divorce.’
“Pia ilinenwa kwamba, ‘Mtu yeyote amwachaye mkewe sharti ampe hati ya talaka.’
32 I myself however say to you that (everyone who is divorcing *N(k)O*) the wife of him except on account of sexual immorality causes her (to be adulterated; *N(K)O*) And who[ever] if divorced shall marry, 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 the ancients; Not will you swear falsely, you will keep now to the Lord the oaths of you.
“Tena mmesikia walivyoambiwa watu wa zamani kwamba, ‘Usiape kwa uongo, bali timiza kiapo kile ulichofanya kwa Bwana.’
34 I myself however say to you not to swear at all, neither [swear] by heaven because [the] throne it is of God,
Lakini mimi nawaambia, msiape kabisa: iwe kwa mbingu, kwa kuwa ni kiti cha enzi cha Mungu;
35 nor [swear] by the earth because [the] footstool it is of the feet of Him, nor [swear] by Jerusalem because [the] city it is 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 nor by the head of you may you swear because not you are able one hair white to make or black.
Nanyi msiape kwa vichwa vyenu, kwa kuwa hamwezi kuufanya hata unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
37 should be however the statement of you Yes Yes, [and] ‘No ‘No; The however excessive of these from evil comes.
‘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; Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’
“Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Jicho kwa jicho na jino kwa jino.’
39 I myself however say to you not to resist the evil [person]. Instead whoever you (strike on *N(k)O*) the right cheek of you, do turn to him also the other;
Lakini mimi nawaambia, msishindane na mtu mwovu. Lakini kama mtu akikupiga kwenye shavu la kuume, mgeuzie na la pili pia.
40 and to the [one] willing you to sue and the tunic of you to take, do yield to him also the cloak;
Kama mtu akitaka kukushtaki na kuchukua joho lako, mwachie achukue na koti pia.
41 and whoever you will compel to go mile one, do go with him two.
Kama mtu akikulazimisha kwenda maili moja, nenda naye maili mbili.
42 To the [one] asking you (do give *N(k)O*) and the [one] desiring from you to borrow not may you turn away from.
Mpe yeye akuombaye, wala usimgeuzie kisogo yeye atakaye kukukopa.
43 You have heard that it was said; You will love the neighbour of you and will hate the enemy of you.’
“Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Mpende jirani yako na umchukie adui yako.’
44 I myself however say to you; do love the enemies of you (do bless those cursing you well do *K*) (to those hating *K(o)*) (you *K*) and do pray for those (mistreating you and *K*) persecuting you,
Lakini ninawaambia: Wapendeni adui zenu na waombeeni wanaowatesa ninyi,
45 so that you may be sons of the Father of you who is in (the *o*) heavens, For the sun of Him He makes rise on evil and good and He sends rain on righteous and unrighteous.
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 If for you shall love those loving you, what reward have you? Surely also the tax collectors the (same *NK(o)*) do?
Kama mkiwapenda tu wale wanaowapenda, mtapata thawabu gani? Je, hata watoza ushuru hawafanyi hivyo?
47 And if you shall greet the (brothers *NK(O)*) of you only, what excessive do you? Surely also the (Gentiles *N(K)O*) (the *no*) (same *N(k)O*) do?
Nanyi kama mkiwasalimu ndugu zenu tu, je, mnafanya nini zaidi ya wengine? Je, hata watu wasiomjua Mungu, hawafanyi hivyo?
48 Will be therefore you yourselves perfect (how *N(k)O*) the Father of you who (Heavenly *N(K)O*) perfect is.
Kwa hiyo kuweni wakamilifu kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
