Matthew 5
1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
Awo Yesu bwe yalaba ng’ebibiina byeyongera obungi, n’alinnya ku lusozi, abayigirizwa be ne bajja gy’ali,
2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
n’abayigiriza ng’agamba nti:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
“Balina omukisa abaavu mu mwoyo, kubanga abo Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bwe bwabwe.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Balina omukisa abali mu nnaku, kubanga abo balisanyusibwa.
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
Balina omukisa abeetoowaze, kubanga abo balisikira ensi.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
Balina omukisa abalumwa enjala olw’obutuukirivu kubanga abo balikkusibwa.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Balina omukisa ab’ekisa, kubanga abo balikwatirwa ekisa.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Balina omukisa abalina omutima omulongoofu, kubanga abo baliraba Katonda.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
Balina omukisa abatabaganya, kubanga abo baliyitibwa baana ba Katonda.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Balina omukisa abayigganyizibwa olw’obutuukirivu, kubanga abo obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bwe bwabwe.”
11 “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
“Mulina omukisa mmwe, bwe banaabavumanga, ne babayigganya, ne baboogerako ebibi ebya buli ngeri, ne babawaayiriza, nga babalanga nze.
12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Musanyuke era mujaguze kubanga empeera yammwe nnene mu ggulu, ne bannabbi ab’edda bwe baayigganyizibwa bwe batyo.”
13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavour, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
“Mmwe muli munnyo gwa nsi. Naye kale bwe guggwaamu obuka, guliba munnyo nate? Olwo gukasukibwa ebweru ne gulinnyirirwa n’ebigere, nga tegukyalina mugaso gwonna.
14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.
“Mmwe muli musana gwa nsi. Ekibuga tekikwekebwa ku lusozi.
15 Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
Era omuntu takoleeza ttabaaza ate n’agisaanikirako ekibbo, wabula agiteeka ku kikondo n’emulisiza bonna abali mu nju.
16 Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Kale nammwe ebikolwa byammwe ebirungi byakirenga abantu bonna, babirabenga, bagulumize Kitammwe ali mu ggulu.
17 “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfil.
“Temulowooza nti Najja okuggyawo amateeka ga Musa oba ebya bannabbi. Sajja okubiggyawo wabula okubituukiriza.
18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti Eggulu n’ensi biyinza okuggwaawo, naye ennukuta emu wadde akatonnyeze akamu mu mateeka tebirivaawo okutuusa byonna lwe birituukirira.
19 Therefore, whoever shall break one of these least commandments and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Noolwekyo oyo amenya etteeka erisembayo obutono, n’ayigiriza n’abalala okukola bwe batyo, y’alisembayo mu bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu.
20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Naye mbalabula nti Okuggyako ng’obutuukirivu bwammwe businga obw’Abafalisaayo n’obw’abawandiisi, temuliyingira mu bwakabaka bwa mu ggulu.”
21 “You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgement.’
“Mwawulira ab’edda bwe baagambibwa nti, ‘Tottanga, na buli anattanga, anaawozesebwa.’
22 But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgement. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Naye mbagamba nti Buli alisunguwalira muganda we aliwozesebwa. Na buli anaagambanga muganda we nti, ‘Laka,’ anaatwalibwa mu lukiiko lw’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya n’awozesebwa. Na buli anaagambanga nti, ‘Musirusiru,’ asaanidde okusuulibwa mu muliro ogwa ggeyeena. (Geenna g1067)
23 “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
“Bw’obanga oli mu maaso ga Katonda, ng’omuleetedde ekirabo eky’okuwaayo nga ssaddaaka, n’ojjukira nga waliwo gw’olinako ensonga,
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
ekirabo kyo sooka okireke awo oddeyo omale okumwetondera mutegeeragane, olyoke okomewo oweeyo ekirabo kyo eri Katonda.
25 Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
“Tegeeragananga mangu n’oyo akuwawaabira nga mukyali mu kkubo aleme kukutwala wa mulamuzi, n’omulamuzi okukuwaayo eri omuserikale, n’omuserikale okukuteeka mu kkomera.
26 Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
Nkutegeeza nti Olibeera omwo okutuusa lw’olimalayo byonna by’obanjibwa.”
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’
“Mwawulira bwe kyagambibwa nti, ‘Toyendanga!’
28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Naye mbagamba nti Buli muntu atunuulira omukazi n’amwegomba aba amaze okumwendako mu mutima gwe.
29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Noolwekyo obanga eriiso Lyo erya ddyo likuleetera okwesittala, liggyeemu olisuule wala. Kubanga kirungi okugenda mu ggulu ng’ebitundu byo ebimu tobirina okusinga okugenda nabyo byonna mu ggeyeena. (Geenna g1067)
30 If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Era obanga omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gukukozesa ebibi, kirungi okugutemako ogusuule wala. Okugenda mu ggulu ng’ekitundu ky’omubiri gwo ekimu tokirina kisinga okugenda mu ggeyeena n’ebitundu by’omubiri gwo byonna. (Geenna g1067)
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’
Kyagambibwa nti, ‘Buli anaagobanga mukazi we, anaawanga omukazi oyo ebbaluwa ey’okumugoba.’
32 but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.
Naye mbagamba nti Buli anaagobanga mukazi we wabula olw’obwenzi anaabanga amwenzesezza, n’oyo anaawasanga omukazi gwe bagobye anaabanga ayenze.”
33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’
“Mwawulira bwe kyagambibwa ab’edda nti, ‘Buli kye weeyamanga eri Mukama okituukirizanga.’
34 but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
Naye mbagamba nti: Temulayiranga n’akatono! Temulayiranga ggulu, kubanga ye ntebe y’obwakabaka bwa Katonda.
35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
Temulayiranga nsi, kubanga y’entebe y’ebigere bye. Temulayiranga Yerusaalemi, kubanga ky’ekibuga kya Kabaka omukulu.
36 Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.
Era tolayiranga mutwe gwo, kubanga toyinza na kufuula luviiri lwo olumu okuba olweru oba oluddugavu.
37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
Naye muddangamu buzzi nti, ‘Weewaawo.’ Oba nti, ‘Si weewaawo’. Kubanga bw’ogezaako okukakasa ebigambo byo n’okulayira kiraga nti waliwo ekitali kituufu.”
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
“Mwawulira nga kyagambibwa nti, ‘Omuntu bw’anaggyangamu eriiso lya munne n’erirye linaggibwangamu. Oba omuntu bw’anaaggyangamu erinnyo lya munne, n’erirye banaalikuulangamu.’
39 But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Naye mbagamba nti, Temuwakananga na mubi, naye omuntu bw’akukubanga oluyi ku ttama erya ddyo omukyusizanga n’ettama eryokubiri.
40 If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
Omuntu bw’ayagalanga okuwoza naawe atwale essaati yo, omulekeranga n’ekkooti yo.
41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
N’oyo akuwalirizanga okumwetikkirako omugugu gwe kilomita emu, omutwalirangako n’eyokubiri.
42 Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
Akusaba omuwanga, n’oyo ayagala okukwewolako tomukubanga mabega.”
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’
“Mwawulira ab’edda bwe baagambibwa nti, ‘Yagalanga muliraanwa wo, naye okyawenga mulabe wo.’
44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
Naye nze mbagamba nti, Mwagalenga abalabe bammwe! Musabirenga ababayigganya!
45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
Bwe mulikola bwe mutyo muliba baana ba Kitammwe ali mu ggulu. Kubanga omusana gwe agwakiza abalungi n’ababi, era n’enkuba agitonnyeza ab’amazima n’abatali ba mazima.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
Bwe mwagala ababaagala bokka, mufunamu ki? N’abawooza bwe bakola bwe batyo.
47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
Era bwe munaalamusanga baganda bammwe bokka, munaaba mulina njawulo ki n’abalala? Kubanga ne bannamawanga bwe bakola bwe batyo.
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Naye mmwe kibagwanira okubeeranga abatuukirivu nga Kitammwe ali mu ggulu bw’ali Omutuukirivu.”
