Matthew 5
1 And having seen the multitudes, he went up to the mount, and he having sat down, his disciples came to him,
Yesu peauwene msambi wa vandu, akakwela kuchitumbi, akatama. Vawuliwa vaki vakamlanda,
2 and having opened his mouth, he was teaching them, saying:
mwene akatumbula kuvawula, akajova.
3 'Happy the poor in spirit — because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
Vamotisiwa vevavi vangangu mumpungu, muni Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga ndi wavi!
4 'Happy the mourning — because they shall be comforted.
Vamotisiwa vana mvinisu mumtima ndava vambudili Chapanga, muni Chapanga alavapolesa mitima!
5 'Happy the meek — because they shall inherit the land.
Vamotisiwa vangolongondi, muni valahala mulima.
6 'Happy those hungering and thirsting for righteousness — because they shall be filled.
Vamotisiwa vana njala na vevavi na njota ya kukita geigana Chapanga, muni Chapanga alavayukutisa
7 'Happy the kind — because they shall find kindness.
Vamotisiwi vevavi na lipyana, muni Chapanga alavahengela lipyana.
8 'Happy the clean in heart — because they shall see God.
Vamotisiwi vevavi na mtima wa msopi, muni yati valamuwona Chapanga.
9 'Happy the peacemakers — because they shall be called Sons of God.
Vamotisiwi vatepulanisa, muni yati vikemelewa vana vaki Chapanga.
10 'Happy those persecuted for righteousness' sake — because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
Vamotisiwi veving'aiswa ndava ya kukita geigana Chapanga, muni Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga ndi wa vene.
11 'Happy are ye whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for my sake —
“Mumotisiwi nyenye vandu vakavaliga, vakavanyagayi na kuvadetela uhakau ndava ya nene.
12 rejoice ye and be glad, because your reward [is] great in the heavens, for thus did they persecute the prophets who were before you.
Mheka na kululuta muni njombi yinu yivaha kunani kwa Chapanga, chenichi ndi chevavahengili Vamlota va Chapanga vevavalongolili kwakona nyenye.”
13 'Ye are the salt of the land, but if the salt may lose savour, in what shall it be salted? for nothing is it good henceforth, except to be cast without, and to be trodden down by men.
Nyenye ndi mwinyu wa pamulima! Nambu luyong'onyo lwaki lwakayaga yati yisopewa kiki? Yivya lepi na lihengu kavili yati kutagika kuvala na vandu vakuyilivatila.
14 'Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is not able to be hid;
“Nyenye ndi ngati lumuli lwa pamulima! Muji weujengiwi panani ya chitumbi ufiyika lepi.
15 nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those in the house;
Vandu vipambika lepi hahi na kuigubika na chiviga, muni yivikiwa panani ya chibokoselu kuvalangasa voha vevavi mugati.
16 so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who [is] in the heavens.
Mewawa lumuli lwinu luvalangasa palongolo ya vandu, vagalola matendu ginu gabwina, vamlumbalila Dadi winu mweavi kunani.”
17 'Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets — I did not come to throw down, but to fulfil;
“Mkoto kuhololela kuvya nibweli kuwusa malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa amala mawuliwu ga Vamlota va Chapanga. Nibweli lepi kuwusa, ndi nibweli muni kugatimalisa.
18 for, verily I say to you, till that the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the law, till that all may come to pass.
Nikujovela chakaka, mbaka kunani na mulima yati zihamba, kawaka hati nukuta yimonga yeyiwusiwa mumalagizu mbaka goha gatimila.
19 'Whoever therefore may loose one of these commands — the least — and may teach men so, least he shall be called in the reign of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach [them], he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.
Hinu, mundu yeyoha angayidakila hati mihilu umonga udebe kuliku zoha, na kuvawula vangi vakita ago, mwenuyo yati ivya mdebe neju, Muunkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga. Nambu mweiyuwanila na kuvawula vangi mwenuyo yati ivya mvaha muunkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.
20 'For I say to you, that if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye may not enter to the reign of the heavens.
Muyuwanila, ubwina winu ngati nakuyonjokesa wula wa vawula va malagizu na Vafalisayu, katu nakuyingila mu Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.”
21 'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill, and whoever may kill shall be in danger of the judgment;
“Mmali kuyuwana kuvya vandu va kadeni chavajoviwi, ‘Ukoto kukoma! Mundu yeyoha mweikoma yikumgana ahamuliwa.’
22 but I — I say to you, that every one who is angry at his brother without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Empty fellow! shall be in danger of the sanhedrim, and whoever may say, Rebel! shall be in danger of the gehenna of the fire. (Geenna g1067)
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, mundu yeyoha mweakumyomela mlongo waki, yati ihamuliwa. Mundu yeyoha mweakumvevesa mlongo waki yati vakumtakila kulibanji la mihalu. Mweakumkemela mlongo waki, ‘Myimu! Yati iyingila kumotu wa magono goha wangajimika.’” (Geenna g1067)
23 'If, therefore, thou mayest bring thy gift to the altar, and there mayest remember that thy brother hath anything against thee,
“Hinu, ngati upeleka luteta lwaku palongolo ya lusanja lwa luteta, na ukumbwiki kuvya mlongo waku avi na luhonda na veve,
24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go — first be reconciled to thy brother, and then having come bring thy gift.
Ululeka luteta lwaku pa lusanja lwa luteta, hamba hoti ukatepulana na mlongo waku kangi uwuya kavili uwusa luteta lwaku.”
25 'Be agreeing with thy opponent quickly, while thou art in the way with him, that the opponent may not deliver thee to the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and to prison thou mayest be cast,
“Tepulana na mweakutakili kanyata mwakona munjila kuhamba kulibanji la mihalu. Ngati lepi, mweakutakili yati akukugotola mumawoko ga mhamula mihalu, mwene akugotola kwa manjolinjoli na kukungiwa muchifungu.
26 verily I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till that thou mayest pay the last farthing.
Nikujovela chakaka yati nakuhuma mbaka ulipili sendi ya mwishu.”
27 'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not commit adultery;
“Muyuwini kuvya vandu vajoviwi, kotoka kukita ugoni!
28 but I — I say to you, that every one who is looking on a woman to desire her, did already commit adultery with her in his heart.
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, kila mundu mweakumlolokesa mdala cha kumnogela amali kugona nayu mumtima waki.
29 'But, if thy right eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Hinu, lihu laku la upandi wa kulyelela likakubudisa, ulitupula ukalitaga kutali. Mbanga neju, veve kuyaganisa pandu pamonga pa higa yaku, kuliku higa yaku yoha kutagika pamotu wa magono goha wangajimika. (Geenna g1067)
30 'And, if thy right hand doth cause thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Ngati chiwoko chaku cha kulyela chikubudisa chidumulai ukatagayi kutali. Mbanga veve kuyaganisa pandu pamonga pa higa yaku kuliku higa yaku yoha yihambi kumotu wa magono goha wangajimika.” (Geenna g1067)
31 'And it was said, That whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing of divorce;
“Gamali kujovekwa kuvya, ‘Mundu yeyoha mweakumleka mdala waki, amyandakila balua ya kumleka.’
32 but I — I say to you, that whoever may put away his wife, save for the matter of whoredom, doth make her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who hath been put away doth commit adultery.
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, mundu yeyoha mweakumleka mdala waki, nambu ndu ndava ya kumkamula ugoni, akumkita mkemi. Na mgosi akamgegai mdala yula mwealekiwi ikita ugoni nayu.”
33 'Again, ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not swear falsely, but thou shalt pay to the Lord thine oaths;
“Kangi myuwini vandu va kadeni vajoviwi, ‘Ukotoka kudenya chilapu chaku, nambu uganikiwa kutimilisa chilapu chaku kwa Bambu.’
34 but I — I say to you, not to swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is the throne of God,
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, katu mkotoka kulapa, hati kunani kwa Chapanga, muni ndi chigoda cha Chapanga cha unkosi waki,
35 nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is a city of a great king,
amala kulapa kwa mulima muni chigoda cha kuvikila magendelu gaki, amala ku Yelusalemu muni muji wa Nkosi mkulu.
36 nor by thy head mayest thou swear, because thou art not able one hair to make white or black;
Ukoto kulapa pamutu waku, muni nakuhotola kuuhenga hati luyunju lumonga kuvya lwa msopi amala lutitu.
37 but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil.
Mkajovai ‘Ena,’ Ndi yivya ‘Ena,’ Mkajovai, ‘Mbwitu,’ Chakaka yivyai ‘Mbwitu,’ Chochoha chechiyonjokeseka pa genago chihumila kwa Setani.”
38 'Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth;
“Muyuwini kuvya gajoviki. ‘Lihu kwa lihu, linu kwa linu.’
39 but I — I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, ukotoka kumuwuyisila mundu mhakau. Mundu akakupamanda, mulitama la kulyela, mng'anamusila na litama la kumangeya.
40 and whoever is willing to take thee to law, and thy coat to take — suffer to him also the cloak.
Mundu akakutakila igana kukunyaga nyula yaku, mlekela atola mewa na likoti laku.
41 'And whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two,
Mundu akakukamula kwa makakala ugegai ndwika yaki kilomita yimonga, ugegai kilomita zivili.
42 to him who is asking of thee be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from thee thou mayest not turn away.
Mweakukuyupa mpelai, na ukotoka kumtila mundu mweakuyaika chindu.”
43 'Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and shalt hate thine enemy;
“Myuwini kuvya gajoviki, mgana muyaku, na mvenga likoko waku.
44 but I — I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you,
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, muvagana makoko vinu na kuvayupila vala vevakuvang'aisa nyenye,
45 that ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous.
muni mpata kuvya vana va Dadi winu mweavi kunani. Muni mwene akuvalangasila lilanga laki vandu makoko na vandu vabwina, na kuvatonyela fula kwa vandu vabwina palongolo yaki na vandu vahakau.
46 'For, if ye may love those loving you, what reward have ye? do not also the tax-gatherers the same?
Wu, njombi yoki mwipata kuhuma kwa Chapanga? Ngati mukuvagana vala vevakuvagana nyenye ndu! Kawaka! Muni hati vatola kodi navene vikita mewa!
47 and if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant? do not also the tax-gatherers so?
Ngati Mukuvajambusa valongo vinu ndu, mhengili chindu kiki neju kuliku vangi? Muni hati vangammanya Chapanga vikita mewawa.
48 ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.
Mwiganikiwa mkoto kupungula chochoa mukuhenga gabwina ngati Dadi winu wa kunani kwa Chapanga angapungula.”
