Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he ascended a mountain: and when he was seated, his disciples came to him.
Yesu alipo uona umati, akaondoka na kuelekea Mlimani. Alipokuwa ameketi chini, wanafunzi wake wakaja kwake.
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Akafunua kinywa chake na akawafundisha, akisema,
3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Heri walio maskini wa roho maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
4 Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Heri walio na huzuni, maana watafarijiwa.
5 Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Heri wenye upole, maana watairithi nchi.
6 Blessed [are] they who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya haki, maana hao watashibishwa.
7 Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Heri wenye rehema maana hao watapata Rehema.
8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Heri wenye moyo safi maana watamwona Mungu.
9 Blessed [are] the peace-makers: for they shall be called children of God.
Heri wapatanishi, maana hao wataitwa wana wa Mungu.
10 Blessed [are] they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Heri wale wanaoteswa kwa ajili ya haki, maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
11 Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Heri ninyi ambao watu watawatukana na kuwatesa, au kusema kila aina ya ubaya dhidi yenu kwa uongo kwa ajili yangu.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Furahini na kushangilia, maana thawabu yenu ni kubwa juu mbinguni. Kwa kuwa hivi ndivyo watu walivyo watesa manabii walioishi kabla yenu.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.
Ninyi ni chumvi ya dunia. Lakini kama chumvi imepoteza ladha yake, itawezaje kufanyika chumvi halisi tena? Kamwe haiwezi kuwa nzuri kwa kitu kingine chochote tena, isipokuwa ni kutupwa nje na kukanyagwa na miguu ya watu.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
Ninyi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Mji uliojegwa juu ya mlima haufichiki.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a close vessel, but on a candlestick: and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
Wala watu hawawashi taa na kuweka chini ya kikapu, bali kwenye kinara, nayo yawaangaza wote walio ndani ya nyumba.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Acha nuru yenu iangaze mbele za watu kwa namna ambayo kwamba, wayaone matendo yenu mema na kumtukuza Baba yenu aliye mbinguni.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
Msifikiri nimekuja kuiharibu sheria wala manabii. Sijaja kuharibu lakini kutimiza.
18 For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth shall pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Kwa kweli nawaambia kwamba mpaka mbingu na dunia zote zipite hapana yodi moja wala nukta moja ya sheria itaondoshwa katika sheria hadi hapo kila kitu kitakapokuwa kimekwisha timizwa.
19 Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do, and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Hivyo yeyote avunjaye amri ndogo mojawapo ya amri hizi na kuwafundisha wengine kufanya hivyo ataitwa mdogo katika ufalme wa mbinguni. Lakini yeyote azishikaye na kuzifundisha ataitwa mkubwa katika ufalme wa mbinguni.
20 For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Kwa maana nawaambia haki yenu isipozidi haki ya waandishi na Mafarisayo, kwa vyovyote vile hamtaingia katika ufalme wa mbinguni.
21 Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment:
Mmesikia ilinenwa zamani kuwa, “usiue” na 'yeyote auaye yuko katika hatari ya hukumu.'
22 But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger of the judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell-fire. (Geenna g1067)
Lakini nawaambia yeyote amchukiaye ndugu yake atakuwa katika hatari ya hukumu. Na yeyote amwambiaye ndugu yake kuwa, 'Wewe ni mtu usiyefaa!' atakuwa katika hatari ya baraza. Na yeyote asemaye, 'Wewe mjinga!' atakuwa katika hatari ya moto wa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
23 Therefore if thou shalt bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath aught against thee;
Hivyo kama unatoa sadaka yako katika madhabahu na unakumbuka kuwa ndugu yako ana jambo lolote dhidi yako,
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
iache sadaka mbele ya madhabahu, kisha shika njia yako. Kapatane kwanza na ndugu yako, na kisha uje kuitoa sadaka yako.
25 Agree with thy adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Patana na mshitaki wako upesi, ukiwa pamoja naye njiani kuelekea mahakamani, vinginevyo mshtaki wako anaweza kukuacha mikononi mwa hakimu, na hakimu akuache mikononi mwa askari, nawe utatupwa gerezani.
26 Verily, I say to thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Amini nawaambieni, kamwe hutawekwa huru hadi umelipa senti ya mwisho ya pesa unayodaiwa.
27 Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Mmesikia imenenwa kuwa, 'Usizini.'
28 But I say to you, That whoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Lakini nawaambieni yeyote amtazamaye mwanamke kwa kumtamani amekwisha kuzini naye moyoni mwake.
29 And if thy right eye shall cause thee to sin, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for [it] is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Na kama jicho lako la kulia linakusababisha kujikwaa, ling'oe na ulitupe mbali nawe. Kwa kuwa ni afadhali kiungo kimoja katika mwili wako kiharibike kuliko mwili mzima kutupwa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if thy right hand shall cause thee to sin, cut it off, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Na kama mkono wako wa kuume unakusababisha kujikwaa, ukate kisha uutupilie mbali nawe. Maana ni afadhali kiungo kimoja katika mwili wako kiharibike kuliko mwili mzima kutupwa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
31 It hath been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
Imenenwa pia, yeyote amfukuzaye mkewe, na ampe hati ya talaka.'
32 But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of lewdness, causeth her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery.
Lakini mimi nawaambia, yeyote anaye mwacha mke wake, isipokuwa kwa kwa sababu ya zinaa, amfanya kuwa mzinzi. Na yeyote amuoaye baada ya kupewa talaka afanya uzinzi.
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths:
Tena, mmesikia ilinenwa kwa wale wa zamani, 'Msiape kwa uongo, bali pelekeni viapo vyenu kwa Bwana.'
34 But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
Lakini nawaambia, msiape hata kidogo, ama kwa mbingu, kwa sababu ni enzi ya Mungu;
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King,
wala kwa dunia, maana ni mahali pa kuweka kiti cha kukanyagia nyayo zake, ama kwa Jerusalemu, maana ni mji wa mfalme mkuu.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
Wala usiape kwa kichwa chako, maana huwezi kufanya unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea, Nay, nay: for whatever [is] more than these cometh of evil.
Bali maneno yenu yawe, 'Ndiyo, ndiyo, Hapana, hapana.' Kwa kuwa yazidiyo hayo yatoka kwa yule mwovu.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
Mmesikia imenenwa kuwa, 'Jicho kwa jicho, na jino kwa jino.'
39 But I say to you, That ye resist not evil: but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Lakini mimi namwambia, Msishindane na mtu mwovu; lakini mtu akikupiga shavu la kulia mgeuzie na jingine pia.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also.
Na kama yeyote anatamani kwenda na wewe mahakamani na akakunyang'anya kanzu yako, mwachie na joho lako pia.
41 And whoever shall constrain thee [to go] one mile, go with him two.
Na yeyote akulazimishaye kwenda naye maili moja, nenda naye maili mbili.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee, turn not thou away.
Kwa yeyote akuombaye mpatie, na usimwepuke yeyote anayehitaji kukukopa.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy:
Mmesikia imenenwa, 'Umpende jirani yako, na umchukie adui yako.'
44 But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Lakini nawaambia, wapendeni adui zenu, waombeeni wanao waudhi,
45 That ye may be the children of your Father who [is] in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Ili kwamba muwe watoto wa baba yenu aliye mbinguni. Kwa kuwa anafanya jua liwaangazie wabaya na wema, na anawanyeshea mvua waovu na wema.
46 For if ye love them who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Kama mkiwapenda wanaowapenda ninyi, mwapata thawabu gani? Kwani watoza ushuru hawafanyi hivyo?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?
Na kama mkiwasalimia ndugu zenu tu mwapata nini zaidi ya wengine? Je!, Watu wa mataifa hawafanyi vivyo hivyo?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
Kwa hiyo yawapasa kuwa wakamilifu, kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
