Mathayo 5
1 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire andũ aingĩ mũno-rĩ, akĩambata kĩrĩma-igũrũ, agĩikara thĩ. Arutwo ake magĩthiĩ harĩ we.
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 Nake akĩambĩrĩria kũmaruta ũhoro, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa athĩĩni ngoro, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa igũrũ nĩ wao.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa marĩ na kĩeha, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakaniinĩrwo kĩeha.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa ahooreri, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakagaya thĩ.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa mahũũtagĩra na makanyootera ũthingu, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakahũũnio.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa maiguanagĩra tha, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakaiguĩrwo tha.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa atheru ngoro, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakona Ngai.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see YHWH.
9 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa macaragia thayũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmagetwo ariũ a Ngai.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of YHWH.
10 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa manyariiragwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu, nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa igũrũ nĩ wao.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ mekũmũruma, na makamũnyariira, na makamũigĩrĩra maũndũ mothe mooru nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Kenai na mũcanjamũke, tondũ kĩheo kĩanyu nĩ kĩnene igũrũ, nĩgũkorwo ũguo noguo maanyariirire anabii arĩa maarĩ kuo mbere yanyu.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 “Inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ cumbĩ wa thĩ. No cumbĩ ũngĩkorwo nĩũthirĩte mũcamo waguo-rĩ, ũngĩcooka gũcamithio ta cumbĩ nĩ kĩĩ? Ndũngĩcooka kũgĩa kĩene rĩngĩ, tiga no ũteirwo ũrangwo nĩ andũ.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 “Inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ ũtheri wa thĩ. Itũũra inene rĩakĩtwo kĩrĩma igũrũ rĩtingĩhithĩka.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 O na ningĩ andũ matiakagia tawa magacooka kũũkunĩkĩra na mbakũri; handũ ha ũguo, maũigagĩrĩra igũrũ handũ haguo, naguo ũkamũrĩkĩra andũ othe arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 O ũguo naguo, na inyuĩ rekei ũtheri wanyu ũmũrĩkagĩre andũ, nĩguo mone ciĩko cianyu njega, nao magoocage Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 “Mũtikae gwĩciiria njũkĩte kweheria Watho kana Mohoro ma Anabii; ndiũkĩte kũmeeheria, no njũkĩte kũmahingia.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa thĩ na igũrũ ikeehera, gũtirĩ kairia ka maandĩko, o na gũtirĩ gakururo kanini ga karamu gakeehera o na atĩa kuuma Watho-inĩ, nginya maũndũ mothe makaahingio.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Ũrĩa wothe ũkoina rĩathani o na rĩmwe rĩa marĩa manini, na arute arĩa angĩ gwĩka ũguo, nĩagatuuo mũnini makĩria thĩinĩ wa ũthamaki wa igũrũ, no ũrĩa wothe wĩkaga na akarutana maathani maya-rĩ, nĩagatuuo mũnene ũthamaki-inĩ wa igũrũ.
Whosoever 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 whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũthingu wanyu waga gũkĩra ũrĩa wa Afarisai na wa arutani a watho, mũtigatoonya ũthamaki wa igũrũ o na atĩa.
For I say unto 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.
21 “Nĩmũiguĩte atĩ hĩndĩ ya tene andũ nĩmerirwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanoragane, na mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũkooragana no nginya agaatuĩka wa gũtuĩrwo ciira.’
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 No niĩ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũrĩa wothe ũkarakarĩra mũrũ wa ithe nĩagatuĩka wa gũtuĩrwo ciira. Na ningĩ-rĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa wothe wĩraga mũrũ wa ithe atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ndũrĩ bata,’ nĩagaciirithio nĩ Kĩama. No ũrĩa wothe ũngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Wee wĩ mũkĩĩgu!’ Nĩagakorwo arĩ ũgwati-inĩ wa gũikio mwaki-inĩ wa Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, angĩkorwo nĩwĩhaarĩirie kũruta kĩheo gĩaku kĩgongona-inĩ, na hĩndĩ ĩyo ũrĩ hau ũririkane atĩ mũrũ wa thoguo arĩ na ũndũ nawe-rĩ,
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 tiga kĩheo gĩaku o hau mbere ya kĩgongona. Amba ũthiĩ ũkaiguane na mũrũ wa thoguo; ũcooke ũũke ũrutĩre Ngai kĩheo gĩaku.
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 “Hiũha kwĩiguithania na thũ yaku ĩrĩa ĩragũtwara igooti-inĩ. Ĩka ũguo mũrĩ o njĩra-inĩ, kwaga ũguo nĩĩgũgũtwara kũrĩ mũtuanĩri-ciira, nake mũtuanĩri-ciira akũneane kũrĩ mũnene wa thigari, ũikio njeera.
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles 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.
26 Ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ndũkoima kuo ũtarĩhĩte thiirĩ wothe hatarĩ gathendi ũgũtigia.
Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 “Nĩmũiguĩte atĩ hĩndĩ ya tene nĩ kwerirwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanatharanie.’
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 No niĩ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũrĩa wothe ũkaarora mũndũ-wa-nja na amwĩrirĩrie, nĩarĩkĩtie gũtharia nake ngoro-inĩ yake.
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 Riitho rĩaku rĩa ũrĩo rĩngĩtũma wĩhie-rĩ, rĩkũũre, ũrĩte. Nĩ kaba kĩĩga kĩmwe kĩa mwĩrĩ waku kĩũre gũkĩra mwĩrĩ waku wothe ũikio Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right eye offend thee, 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)
30 Na guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo kũngĩtũma wĩhie-rĩ, gũtinie ũgũte. Nĩ kaba kĩĩga kĩmwe kĩa mwĩrĩ waku kĩũre gũkĩra mwĩrĩ waku wothe ũikio Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if 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)
31 “Ningĩ nĩ kwĩrĩtwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrĩa wothe ũngĩtigana na mũtumia wake no nginya amũhe marũa ma kuonania nĩmatigana nake.’
It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 No ngũmwĩra atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũtiganaga na mũtumia wake, o tiga nĩ ũndũ wa ũtharia-rĩ, nĩatũmaga atuĩke mũtharia, na ũrĩa wothe ũhikagia mũtumia ũrĩa ũtiganĩte na mũthuuriwe, nĩ gũtharia atharagia.
But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33 “Ningĩ, nĩmũiguĩte atĩ hĩndĩ ya tene andũ nĩmerirwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanehĩte tũhũ, no hingagĩria Mwathani mĩĩhĩtwa ĩrĩa wĩhĩtĩte.’
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto YHWH thine oaths:
34 No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ: Mũtikanehĩte o na atĩa; mũtikanehĩte na igũrũ tondũ nĩkuo gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Ngai;
But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is Elohim's throne:
35 kana mwĩhĩte na thĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩkuo gĩturwa gĩa kũigĩrĩra magũrũ make; o na kana mwĩhĩte na Jerusalemu, nĩgũkorwo nĩrĩo itũũra inene rĩa Mũthamaki mũnene.
Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Na ndũkanehĩte na mũtwe waku, nĩgũkorwo ndũngĩhota gũtũma rũcuĩrĩ o na rũmwe rwerũhe kana rũire.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 Reke ‘Ĩĩ’ yaku ĩtuĩke ‘Ĩĩ’, na ‘Aca’ yaku ĩtuĩke ‘Aca’; ũndũ o wothe makĩria ma ũguo-rĩ, uumaga kũrĩ ũrĩa mũũru.
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 “Nĩmũiguĩte atĩ hĩndĩ ya tene nĩ kwerirwo atĩrĩ: ‘Riitho rĩrĩhagwo na riitho, narĩo igego rĩrĩhagwo na igego.’
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 No niĩ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ: Mũtikanagiane na mũndũ ũrĩa mũũru. No rĩrĩ, mũndũ angĩkũgũtha rũthĩa rwa ũrĩo-rĩ, mũhũgũkĩrie rũu rũngĩ o naruo.
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Na mũndũ angĩenda gũgũthitanga oe kanjũ yaku-rĩ, mũnengere o na igooti rĩaku.
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
41 Mũndũ angĩkũhatĩrĩria ũthiĩ itĩĩna rĩmwe-rĩ, thiĩ nake matĩĩna meerĩ.
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩkũhooya kĩndũ, mũhe, na mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩenda ũmũkombere kĩndũ, ndũkarege kũmũkombera.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 “Nĩmũiguĩte atĩ hĩndĩ ya tene nĩ kwerirwo atĩrĩ, ‘Endaga mũndũ wa itũũra rĩaku, na ũthũũrage thũ yaku.’
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 No niĩ ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ: Endagai thũ cianyu, na mũhooyagĩre arĩa mamũnyariiraga,
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 nĩgeetha mũtuĩke ariũ a Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ. Atũmaga riũa rĩake rĩrathĩre arĩa ooru na arĩa ega, na akoiria mbura kũrĩ arĩa athingu na kũrĩ arĩa matarĩ athingu.
That ye may be the children of your Father which 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.
46 Angĩkorwo mwendete o arĩa mamwendete-rĩ, mũgaakĩrĩhwo kĩ? Githĩ o na etia mbeeca cia igooti matiĩkaga o ũguo?
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 Na ningĩ angĩkorwo mũgeithagia o ariũ na aarĩ a ithe wanyu-rĩ, mũgĩkĩrĩte arĩa angĩ na kĩ? Githĩ o na arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai matiĩkaga o ũguo?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, tuĩkai aagĩrĩru kũna, o ta ũrĩa Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ arĩ mwagĩrĩru kũna.
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
