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].
U Yesu lwahayilola impuga, ahasoguye abhale hwigamba. Lwahakhiye pansi asambilizyi bhakwe bhalinza.
2 Then he began to teach them by saying,
Ahigula ilomu lyakwe ahabhamanyizya, ahaga,
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.
“Hwashi abhapina bhi mwoyo pipo ubhumwini uwahumwanya wabho.
4 [God] is pleased with people who mourn [because they have sinned; ] they will be encouraged {he will encourage them.}
Hwashi abhaswimilizu pipi bhahayisubhizwa.
5 [God] is pleased with people who are meek; they will inherit the earth [that God will recreate].
Hwashi abhapole, bhahayibha bhapyani bhi insi.
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].
Hwashi abhinzala ni shumwilwa shilyoli pipo bhahayikuta.
7 [God] is pleased with people who act mercifully; he will act mercifully to them.
Hwashi abhirehema pipo bhayibha ni rehema.
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.
Hwashi abhimwoyo umwinza pipo bhayinola Ungulubhi.
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].
Hwashi akundanyi, pipi bhabhabhe bhana bha Ngulubhi.
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.
Hwashi bhebhayimba kwa ajili yi lyoli pipo ubhumwini uwahumwanya wabho.
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.
Hwashi amwi yemuligwa na bhantu ua yimbe na yangwe hwilenga ubhibhi kwa ajili yani.
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.
Mushanje ua lulutile pipo amasombo ginyu magosi hwa Ngulubhi. Pipo abhantu abhahwande bhahabha yimvizye akuwa bhebhali kabla yinyu.
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].
Amwi libheya lyinsi ishi ibheya nkelitezizye uwinza wakwe selibhabhe libhe ya habhili? Selingabha lyinza habhili hu hantu hohonti, hulitaje hunzi ua akhanywe ni vinama vya bhantu.
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].
Amwi lukhozyo lwinsi. Ikhaya yizengwilwa pamwanya pi gamba sihuyifisa.
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.
Abhantu sebhahwansya itala nahuyibhishe pansi yishikapu, ila bhabhiha pamwanya imuliha bhonti bhebhali muhati munyumba.
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.”
Muleshe ulukhozyo lwinyu lukhozye hwilongolela hwa bhantu ihwanziwa huje abhantu bhagalole amatendo ginyu aminza na huutime u Ngulubhi uwahumwanya.
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].
Msahaje ininzile ananganye indajizyo wa akuwa. Sininzile ananganye ininzile atomizye.
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.
Amba lyoli ihumbabhuzya huje mpaka imwanya ninsi zyonti zishile nimo iyodi yeka wala inukuta yeka iyi sheria seyahayiyepa kila hantu lwehayibha tiyari.
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.
Ishi wowonti yavunza iamuli indodo mojawapo yi amli izi na hubhamanyizye abhanji abhombe isho ahwitwa ndodo hubhumwini uwahumwanya. Lakini yeyote azishikaye na kuzifundisha ataitwa mkubwa katika ufalme wa mbinguni.
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.”
Pipo ihumbabhuzya ihaki yinyu nkeseyabhashila abhaandishi ya Mafalisayo, shoshonti shila semwahayiyinjila humwanya.
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]}.
Mwinvwizye yahayangwilwe imandi aje, “usahagoje”'wowonti yagoga ahayilongwa.'
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)
Ishi ihumbabhuzya wowonti yahumvitwa uholo wakwe ahayilongwa. Na yeyote amwambiaye ndugu yake kuwa, 'Wewe ni mtu uisyefaa!' atakuwa katika hatari ya baraza. Na yeyote asemaye, 'Wewe mjinga!' atakuwa katika hatari ya moto wa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
23 So, when you take your gift [for God] to the altar, if you remember that you have offended someone,
Nkufumya isadaka yaho pashiputo ukumbuha huje uholo waho alininongwa nawe,
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].
yileshe isadaka paushiputo ubhale ukundane nawo uholo waho nkuyinze ufumye isadaka yaho.
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.
Kundana nu unongwi waho lubhilo lulipeka nawo mwidala lwemubhala humahakama, mukundane ili usahakungwe mwigereza.
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].”
Mwitishe ihumbabhuzya semwahayibha ahinza mpaka musombe amalando gemlongwa.
27 “You have heard [God’s] commandment, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
Mwinvwizye aje iyandihwilwe, 'Usahazini.'
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.
Lelo ihubhabhuzya wowonti ya humwenya unshi hwahunsungwe uyo azinile nawo mumoyo wakwe.
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)
Nki ilinso lyaho ilya hulilo lihusababisya abumile ulikunye ulitaji apatali nawe. Pipo hwashi ishilungo sheka mumbili waho shinanjishe kuliko ubili ngwonti gubhale hujehanamu. (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)
Na nkushe inyobhe yaho indilo isababisya aje ubumile, udumule yoonti uyitajle apatali nawe. Pipo hwashi ishilungo sheka shinanjishe kuliko ubili gwonti gubhale hujehanamu. (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.’
Isimbilwe wowonti ya huminga unshi wakwe ampele italaka.'
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.”
Lelo ani ihumbabhuzya wowonti yahuneha unshi wakwe hunongwa yizanaa uyo amishile aje muzinzi. Na wowonti yahumwega unshi uyo wope uzinzi.
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]
Tena, mwinvwizye aje yahayangwilwe hubhala abhimandi, 'Musaha lape ilenga lelo muntwalile Ungulubhi ilape hwinyu.'
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].
Lelo ihumbabhuzya musahalape hata hadodo hata hwimwanya pipo imwanya enzi ya Ngulubhi;
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].
Wala hunsi pipo mahali pakwe pabhishe itengo ilyakhanyile ivinama vyakwe, wala hwa Yerusalemu, maana khaya yamwini ugosi.
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.
Usahalape hwitwe lyaho maana sungabhomba ulusisi lweka lubhe zeru au lwiru.
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.”
Lelo inongwa zyinyu zibhanje, 'Ena, ena, Ndali, ndali.' Pipo nkegonjela ipo gafuma hwa nugu.
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.’
Mwinvwizye aje iyangwilwe aje, “Jicho kwa jicho, na jino kwa jino.'
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].
Lelo ani ihumbabhuzya mugandi atolane nu muntu umibhi; Lelo umuntu nkahukhoma imbuguzi iya hulilo umpele ni lya humongo.
40 If someone wants to sue you and take your (inner garment/shirt), give him your (outer garment/coat) also.
Nu muntu wowonti yasungwa abhale nawe humahakama na afyula inkanzu yaho neshele ni joho lyaho.
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].
Wowonti yahulazimisya ibhale umaili yeka bhala umaili zibhili.
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].”
Wowonti yahulabha umpele, yakhopa khopele.
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.’
Mwinvwizye iyangwile ugane, 'Umpalamani waho, unvitwe unugu waho.'
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.
Lelo imbabhuzya mubhagane alugu bhinyu mubhaputile bhebhalubhavisya,
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].
Nkemubhe bhana bha daada uwahumwanya. Pipo alamya isaya likholo hwabhibhi na bhinza, imvula itonya hwa bhabhibhi na bhinza.
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]
Nkemwabhagana bhebhabhaganile amwi, mubhapate faida nshii? Mbona bhebhasongozya insoho sebhabhomba isho.
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].
Nke mwabhalamuha aholo bhinyu bhini mubhapa ahenu ashile abhanji? Ishi!, abhantu bhinsi sebhabhomba isho?
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.”
Ishi ihwanziwa huje mubhe bhagolosu ndeshe Udada winyu uwahumwanya shali golosu.
