Matthew 5
1 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a hillside. He sat down [in order to teach] his disciples. They came near to him [to listen to him].
Na Yesu wa yene ligozin nanite, a ghana kitene likupi na a so kutyen, nono katwaa me da kitime.
2 Then he began to teach them by saying,
A puno uunuu atunna ndursuzu nanii a woro,
3 [God] is pleased with people who recognize that they have a spiritual [need]; he will allow them to be the people whose lives he rules over.
“Anan maoriari alenge na iidi likimon nruhu, kipin tigo Kutellẹ kin minere.
4 [God] is pleased with people who mourn [because they have sinned; ] they will be encouraged {he will encourage them.}
Anan maoriari alenge na idi tiyom.
5 [God] is pleased with people who are meek; they will inherit the earth [that God will recreate].
Anan mmariari anan lazun nkune-kune, bara ima su ugadun nyii.
6 [God] is pleased with people who sincerely [desire to live] righteously [just like they] desire to eat and drink [MET]; they will be enabled {he will enable them} to do all that he desires [MET].
Anan mmariari alenge na idi kukpon nin kotuzu nayi nsu katwa kacine, ima ti nani ishito.
7 [God] is pleased with people who act mercifully; he will act mercifully to them.
Anan mmariari alenge na idin nin kune-kune, inung wang mase nkune-kune.
8 [God] is pleased with people who think only about that which pleases him; [some day] they will [be where] God is and will see him.
Anan mmariari alenge na idinin nibinayi ni lau, inughere ma yenu Kutelle.
9 [God] is pleased with people who help other people to live peacefully; they will be considered to be {he will consider that they are} his children [MET].
Anan mmariari anan gafizu lissosin limang, ima yiccu nani nono Kutelle.
10 [God is pleased with] people to whom evil things are done {to whom [other people] do evil things} because they [conducted themselves] righteously; he will allow them to be where he rules over people.
Anan mmariari alenge na idi tizu nani nanya niu bara katwa kacine, tigo kilari Kutelle maso tin mine.
11 [God is pleased with] you when [other] people insult you, when [other people] do evil things to you and when [other people] say falsely [that] you are evil because [you believe in] me.
Anan mmariari anunghe na idin tizu minu tinanayi nin niu, sa idin bellu imon inanzang natimine bara lissaning.
12 [When that happens], rejoice and be glad [DOU], because [God will give] you a great reward in heaven. [God will think highly of you], just like [he thought highly of] the prophets whom your [ancestors persecuted] long ago.
Sun ayiabo kan nin lanzun mang, bara na uduk mine udindyawari kitene kani. Nanere wang anit wa tizu nono katwa alenge na ina yarin minu uniu.
13 “You are [able to influence] evil [people] [MTY] [and improve the way they live in order that they do not become more evil, just like] salt [is able to improve the flavor of food and to preserve it] [MET] [from spoiling]. Salt that no longer tastes salty cannot become salty again [RHQ]. As a result, that salt becomes useless. It is rejected by people, thrown on the ground, and walked on {People reject it, throw it on the ground and walk on it} [MET]. [Similarly, if the way you live no longer influences people to live in a godly manner, God will reject you].
Anunghre nto nyii ulele, asa nto nta rututu, miba ti inyizari miti mamas? Na midu nin katwa kacine tutung ba, asa igutuna minin ipatila nin nabunu.
14 You [enable] evil [people] [MTY] [to perceive God’s truth as] a light [enables people to perceive what is around them. Just like] everyone can see [LIT] [the lights of] a city on a hill [MET], [other people can see what you do].
Anughere nkanang nyii. Kipin kanga naki tardin kitene likup na ki nyeshin ba.
15 After people light a lamp, they never put it under a basket. Instead, [they put it] on a lampstand in their houses in order that it can shine on everyone there.
Nanere wang na anit wasa ita ula npitilla iwufu unin nanya kukuzung ba, sedei itarda unin kitin banju npitilla, unan niza anan kilare nkanang.
16 [Similarly], you need to do [what is right] [MET] in such a manner that other people can see the good deeds that you do, and as a result they will praise your Father [who is] in heaven.”
Sunan nkanang mine baltu nbun nanit vat, nani mati kogha yene adu mine, inan su liru Ncifn mine na adi kitene kani.
17 “I came to earth, not to annul the laws [that God gave Moses] or [what] the prophets [MTY] [wrote]. Instead, I [came] to cause to happen [what the authors of those books predicted would happen]. So do not think any longer that I have come [to earth] in order that I might annul [what they wrote].
Na iwa yenje nafo nna dak nda musuzu uduka sa katwa nadura Kutelle ba. Na nna ndak nda musuzu ba, kuluzun tininari.
18 Keep this in mind: [Every] point of those laws, [including those points that seem] least important, and even the smallest details of the laws [MTY] will surely be in effect [HYP, LIT] until the heavens and the earth disappear and until all [that God told their authors to write] happens.
Kidegenari ndin bellu minu, uyii nin kitene kani ba malu, ama na ligbula sa fiyerte nanya nduka ma malu ba, se ikuluna imon ilenge na ina yerti nanya vat.
19 Since [all God’s laws are important], if anyone disobeys any of those commandments, [even if it would be] one of the least [important ones], and if that person teaches people [to disobey any of those commandments], it will be said {[God] will say} that that person is the least [important] of those in the place where [EUP] God rules. But those who obey [those commandments] and teach [other people to obey them, it will be said] {[God] will say} that they are very important among those that God rules.
Bara nani, vat ulenge na apuro uduka cingilin nanya tiduka, anin dursuzo among isu nani, aba so unit ubene nanya kilari tigo Kutelle. Vat ulenge na adi dortu, akuru adursuzo tinin ima yiccughe unit udya kilari tigo Kutelle.
20 Keep this in mind: [You assume that] the Pharisees and the men who teach our laws [faithfully obey] what God commands. But if you do not obey those laws better than they obey them, you will by no means enter the place where God rules.”
Ndin bellu minu, asa na katwa kacine mine katin kan nanan dursuzu nan na Farisawa ba, na iba piru nanya tigo Kutelle ba.
21 “You have heard [your religious teachers say] that it was said {that [Moses] said} to your ancestors, ‘Do not murder [anyone.’ This implied that] if someone murders [another person], the judge will condemn that person [and] sentence him to be [executed] {[say that someone must execute him]}.
Inan lanza uliru ulenge na iwa bellu anan burne, 'yenje iwa molu unit,' nin woru, 'ulenge na amolo unit apira nanya licin nshara.'
22 But what I say to you is this: [If you are] angry with someone, [God] will judge you. If you say to someone, ‘[You are worthless],’ the Jewish Council will judge you. If you [hate someone], and say to them 'You fool!' you. yourself, will be in danger of being thrown into the fires in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Meng ule din bellu minu, unit ulenge na ata tinanayi nin gwana, ama piru licin nshara. Ame ulenge na aworo ngwana, 'Fe ulalaghari!' Ama piru nacara tigo. Ulenge wang na woro 'fe di hem!' Ama piru nanya kuwu nla. (Geenna g1067)
23 So, when you take your gift [for God] to the altar, if you remember that you have offended someone,
Bara nani asa uma du nni nimon nfillufe nbun Kutelle, unin lizino nin kon kulapi kurika na kudi kitik fe nin gwana,
24 leave your gift by the altar, and first go [to the person you have offended]. Tell that person that you are sorry for what you have done, and ask that person to forgive you. Then go back and offer your gift [to God].
suna imon fillu fe nanuwa nakpa ba. Tu kpilla udi kyele kulape nin gwanafine, unin kpillin uda nakpa imon nfillu fe kiti Kutelle.
25 [Also], when a fellow citizen [takes you to court in order to] accuse you, settle accounts with that person quickly while you are walking with that person [to court]. Do that [while there still is time to do so] in order that he will not take you to the judge, [because if] the judge [favors the person who is accusing you, he will declare that you are guilty and send you] to the prison guard, and the prison guard will put you in prison.
Yinna mas ikyele uliru nati mine nin lenge na adi cinu udu nin fi ngan Go a idutu libau ucin du kuti nsharawe, bara awa do ninfi kiti nnan su nshara, ame unan sharawe di nakpafi naccara kudugari, anin di pirinfi nanyya kutii licin.
26 Keep this in mind: [If you go to prison], you will never get out [because you will never be able to] pay all that the judge says that you owe [MET]. [And remember also that] you [ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
Kidegenari ndin bellu fi na uma nuzu nanya licin lole ba, se ubya vat nikurfung ilenge na idi dortufi.
27 “You have heard [God’s] commandment, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
Ina lanza ulire na iwa woro, 'Yenje iwa nozo nin nawanin ndas.'
28 But what I say to you is this: If a man only looks at a woman desiring to have sex with her, [God considers that] his doing that [MET] is sin.
Ama meng woro minu, vat ulenge na ayene uwani, ata kuna niyizi me nanya kibinai, amala usu linoni ningheri une.
29 If because of what you see [MTY] you [are tempted to] sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it!] It is good [that you not sin and] as a result [go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both of] your eyes. But it is not good [that you continue to have two eyes and sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell. (Geenna g1067)
Andi liyizi ncara ulimefe din tizufi usu kulapi, kawurno linining ufillin. Bara uma katin fi nin caut nbara umong ugap kidowofe nana, nnun woru kidowofe vat piru nanya nla. (Geenna g1067)
30 If you are [tempted to] use one of your hands to sin [MTY], [stop using your hand. Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you do not sin and as a result you go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both] of your [hands]. But it is not good [that you sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell.” (Geenna g1067)
Andi ucara ulime fe matifi kulapi, werne unin ufillin. Bara uma katinfi nin caut umong ugap kidowofe nana, nnin woru kidowofe vat piru nanya nla. (Geenna g1067)
31 “It is written {[Moses] wrote}, ‘If a man is divorcing his wife, he should write a document [on which he states that he is] divorcing her.’
Iwa woro tutung, 'Vat nlenge na ako uwani, na anighe iyerte nmalu nilugma.'
32 But [now listen to what] I say to you: [A man] may [divorce his wife] only if she has committed adultery, [and not for any other reason]. If a man divorces his wife [for any other reason, and he has sex with another woman], he makes his wife become one against whom he has committed adultery, [because in God’s estimation she still is his wife]. Also, if a man marries a woman who is divorced {whose husband has divorced her}, [God considers] him [guilty of] committing adultery.”
Meng ule din bellu minu, vat na ako uwani me, andi na kitene kulapin nozu nin nalilime ba, ataghe unan nozu nin nnalilimeari une. Vat tutung ulenge na ayauna uwani ule na ina ninghe iyerte nmalu nilugma, adi kulapin nozu nin nawanin bidibidi.
33 “You have also heard [your religious teachers say] that it was written {that [Moses] wrote} to your ancestors, ‘Make sure that you do what you promised the Lord that you would do!’ [DOU]
Tutung, ina lanza iwa bellu anit nayiri nburne, 'Yenje iwa su isilin kinu, ama sun imon ile na isulo mung kitin Cikilari.'
34 But [now listen to what] I say to you: Never promise to do anything and then ask a superior being to affirm [that what you are saying will happen. For example, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings in] heaven [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because heaven is where God [sits] on his throne [MTY] [to rule over people].
Meng ule din bellu minu, na iwa su isilin ba, sa nin kitene kani, bara na kutet tigo Kutelleri;
35 [Also, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings] on earth [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because the earth is where God rests his feet [MET]. [Also, do] not [promise that you will do something and ask religious authorities] in Jerusalem [to affirm that you will do it], because Jerusalem is the city where [God], the great King [rules].
Sa nin kutyin, bara kiti na kiti liyisin nabunu Kutelleri, sa nin Urushalima, bara na kipin Ngo Udyawari.
36 [Also, do not promise that you will do something and then say that] your head [should be cut off] {[someone should cut off] your head} [if you do not do it]. You are not [even] able to [change the color of the hair of your head by] making one [black] hair white or one [white] hair black.
Na uwa sillo nin litife ba, bara na uwasa ukpilla titife tita tibo sa tisirne ba.
37 [If you talk about doing something], just say ‘Yes, I [will do it],’ or ‘No, I [will not do it].’ [If you say] anything more than that, it is from [Satan], the Evil One.”
Na 'kidegen mine so kidegen,' kinu mine so kinu.' Vat nimon ilenge na ikatin ilele, inuzu kitin Shetanari.
38 “You have heard [your religious teachers say] that [it is written] {[Moses wrote]}, ‘[Retaliate like this]: [If someone damages] one of your eyes, [someone should damage] one of that person’s eyes. [If someone damages] one of your teeth, [someone should damage] one of that person’s teeth.’
Ina lanza iwa woro, 'Liyizi yita nnu liyizi, a liyini nnu liyini.'
39 But [now listen to what] I say to you: Do not take revenge for evil [deeds done] {[that other people do]} [to you]. Instead, if someone [insults you by] striking you on one cheek, turn your other cheek toward that person [in order that he can strike it also].
Ama Meng nworo minu, yinnan, icuce minu, Vat ulenge na aparshin kuwan ncara ulime, kpilaghe kucara ugule tutung.
40 If someone wants to sue you and take your (inner garment/shirt), give him your (outer garment/coat) also.
Andi umong bolo kultukfe, anin din pizuru udu ninfi kityii shara, sughe amuunu ugudunfe ku wang.
41 If a [military authority] compels you to go with him one mile [and carry his gear], go with him two miles [and carry his gear].
Andi umong tafi udi kaghe ncin fimel firum, can ninghe timel tiba.
42 Also, if someone asks you for [something], give [him what he is asking for]. If someone requests you to lend him [something], do not refuse [to lend it to him].”
Vat ulenge na atirinfi naghe, tutung yenje uwa nari ubalu nnit ule na adi nin su nbalu nimon kitife.
43 “You have heard [your religious teachers say that it is written that Moses wrote], ‘Love the citizens of your country and hate your enemies.’
Inan lanza iwa woro, 'Ta usu ndofin kupofe unari unan nivirafe.
44 But [now listen to what] I say to you: Love your enemies [as well as your friends], and pray for those who cause you to suffer.
Meng woro minu, 'ta usu nnan nivira fe, usu anan tizufi nanya nniu nlira,
45 Do that in order to imitate what [God], your Father [who is] in heaven, does. He desires that you [MET] do [like he does]. [He acts kindly to all people. For example, he causes] the sun to shine [equally] on wicked [people] and on good [people], and [he sends] rain [both] on righteous [people] and on unrighteous [people].
bara inan so nono Ncifi mine ulenge na adi kitine kani. Ame din tizu uwui tutuzo kuneen nnan magunta nin nit ulau, asa a toltuno uwuru me tutung vat, kuneen nnan sali kulapi nin nan kulapi.
46 If you love [only] the people who love you, ([do not expect God to] reward you [in heaven]!/will [God] reward you [in heaven]?) [RHQ] [This is based on the fact that everyone], even the tax collectors, [who you think are very great sinners], love [RHQ] those who love them. [If you act like them], ([you are not any different from tax collectors!/in what way are you different from tax collectors]?) [RHQ]
Fewang ti usu nalenge na idi nin sufere cas, uyapin udukari umase? Na anan sesu ngandu dinsu nani wang ba?
47 If you want [God] to bless only your friends, (you are not acting any better than other people!/are you acting any better than other people?) [RHQ] Even the non-Jews, [who you think sin very much] (OR, [you think are unacceptable to God]), want God to bless their friends [RHQ], [but God does not reward them for that].
Andi udin su ilip nan linuwna nmang, nyaghari udin ukatina among? Na alumai wang din su nani ba?
48 [You need to love those who do not love you], and in that way become perfect as [God] your Father, [who is] in heaven, is perfect.”
Bara nani sun lidu lidert, nafo na Ucif mine kitene kane di dert.
