Matiu 5
1 Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ igwe mmadụ ahụ, ọ rigooro nʼelu ugwu. Mgbe ọ nọdụrụ ala, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịakwutere ya,
But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, —and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;
2 o bido ikuziri ha ihe. Ọ sịrị:
and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: —
3 “Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị bụ ogbenye nʼime mmụọ, nʼihi na alaeze eluigwe bụ nke ha.
Happy, the destitute, in spirit; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens;
4 Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị na-eru ụjụ, nʼihi na a ga-akasị ha obi.
Happy, they who mourn; for, they, shall be comforted:
5 Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị dị nwayọọ nʼobi, nʼihi na ha ga-eketa ụwa.
Happy, the meek; for, they, shall inherit the earth:
6 Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị agụụ ezi omume na-agụ, nʼihi na ndị ahụ ka afọ ga-eju.
Happy, they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for, they, shall be filled:
7 Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị na-eme obi ebere, nʼihi na ha ka a ga-emere ebere.
Happy, the merciful; for, they, shall receive mercy:
8 Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị dị ọcha nʼobi, nʼihi na ha ga-ahụ Chineke anya.
Happy, the pure, in heart; for, they, shall, see God:
9 Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị na-eme ka udo dị nʼetiti mmadụ na ibe ya, nʼihi na a ga-akpọ ha ụmụ Chineke.
Happy, the peacemakers; for, they, shall be, called sons of God:
10 Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị a na-emegbu nʼihi ezi omume, nʼihi na alaeze eluigwe bụ nke ha.
Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 “Ngọzị na-adịrị unu mgbe ndị mmadụ na-akọcha unu, na-emegbu unu, ma na-ekwukwa okwu ọjọọ na ụgha niile dị iche iche megide unu nʼihi m.
Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:
12 Ṅụrịanụ ọnụ, nwekwanụ obi ụtọ, nʼihi na ụgwọ ọrụ unu dị ukwuu nʼeluigwe. Nʼihi na nʼụzọ dị otu a ka ha sogburu ndị amụma ndị buru unu ụzọ.
Rejoice and exult, because, your reward, is great in the heavens; for, so, persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
13 “Unu bụ nnu nke ụwa, ma ọ bụrụ na nnu adịghị atọkwa ụtọ, a ga-eji gịnị mee ka ọ tọọ ụtọ ọzọ? Ọ bakwaghị uru ọbụla, ma ọ bụghị naanị itufu ya, ka ndị mmadụ zọọ ya ụkwụ.
Ye, are the salt of the earth; but, if the salt become tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? it is good, for nothing, any more, save, being cast out, to be trampled on by men.
14 “Unu bụ ihe nke ụwa. Unu dị ka obodo e wuru nʼelu ugwu nke a na-apụghị izo ezo.
Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
15 Ndị mmadụ adịghị amụnye oriọna dọnye ya nʼokpuru igbe, kama a na-adọkwasị ya nʼelu ihe ịdọba oriọna, ka o nye ndị niile nọ nʼụlọ ahụ ìhè.
Neither light they a lamp, and place it under the measure; but upon the lampstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
16 Ya mere, kwerenụ ka ìhè unu nwuo nye mmadụ niile, ka ndị mmadụ hụ ọrụ ọma unu, tookwa Nna unu nke bi nʼeluigwe.
In like manner, let your light shine before men, —that they may see your good works, —and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
17 “Unu echela na m bịara ịkagbu iwu Mosis, maọbụ ozizi ndị amụma. Abịaghị m ịkagbu akagbu, kama abịara m imezu ha.
Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, —I came not to pull down, but to fulfil.
18 Nʼezie, agwa m unu, na tutu eluigwe na ụwa agabiga, ọ dịghị otu mkpụrụ edemede ọbụla dị nta, ọ bụladị nke dịkarịsịrị nta, nke a ga-esi nʼIwu a wepụ ruo mgbe ha niile ga emezu.
For, verily, I say unto you, until the heaven and the earth shall pass away, one least letter, or one point, may in nowise pass away from the law, till all be accomplished.
19 Nʼihi ya, onye ọbụla nke ga-emebi otu nʼime iwu ndị a, ọ bụladị nke dịkarịsịrị nta, ma kuziekwara ndị ọzọ ime otu ahụ, a ga-agụ onye ahụ nʼonye dịkarịsịrị nta nʼalaeze eluigwe. Ma onye na-ezi ụmụ mmadụ ka ha debe iwu ahụ, ma na-emekwa okwu ndị ahụ nʼonwe ya, a ga-akpọ ya onye dị ukwuu nʼalaeze eluigwe.
Whosoever, therefore, shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and teach men so, shall be called, least, in the kingdom of the heavens; but, whosoever shall do and teach, the same, shall be called, great, in the kingdom of the heavens.
20 Ka m dọọ unu aka na ntị. Ọ bụrụ na ezi omume unu akarịghị ezi omume ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu, unu apụghị ịba nʼalaeze eluigwe ma ọlị.
For I say unto you, that, unless your righteousness exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, in nowise, may ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
21 “Unu nụrụ na-agwara ndị mmadụ nʼoge gara aga, sị, ‘Onye egbula mmadụ, onye ọbụla gburu mmadụ a ga-ekpe ya ikpe.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, to them of olden time, —Thou shalt not commit murder, and, whosoever shall commit murder, shall be, liable, to judgment.
22 Ma asị m unu, na onye ọbụla nke na-ewe iwe megide nwanna ya, na-enyefe onwe ya nʼaka ikpe. Onye ọbụla nke na-akpọ nwanna ya ‘Raka,’ ya bụ Onye iberiibe, ga-aza ajụjụ nʼụlọikpe. Ọzọkwa, onye ọbụla nke kpọrọ nwanne ya, ‘Onye nzuzu,’na-edo onwe ya ịba nʼọkụ ala mmụọ. (Geenna g1067)
But, I, say unto you, that, every one who is angry with his brother, shall be, liable, to judgment, —and, whosoever shall say to his brother, Worthless one!, shall be, liable, to the high council; and, whosoever shall say, Rebel!, shall be, liable, unto the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na ị gaa inye onyinye gị nʼebe ịchụ aja, ma cheta nʼebe ahụ na gị na nwanne gị adịghị nʼudo,
If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
24 hapụ onyinye gị nʼebe ịchụ aja, laa ka gị na nwanne gị kpezie. Mgbe unu mere udo, laghachi bịa nye onyinye gị.
leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw, —first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy gift.
25 “Mee ọsịịsọ ka gị na onye kpọ gị eje ụlọ ikpe kpezie, mgbe ọ na-eburubeghị ikpe gị na ya jee nʼaka ọkaikpe, onye ga-enyefe gị nʼaka ndị nche, ma eleghị anya etinye gị nʼụlọ mkpọrọ.
Be making agreement with thine adversary, quickly, while thou art with him, in the way, —lest once thine adversary deliver thee up unto the judge, and the judge, unto the officer, and, into prison, thou be cast.
26 Nʼezie, agwa m gị, ị gaghị e si nʼebe ahụ pụta ruo mgbe ị kwụghachiri kobo niile i ji.
Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
27 “Unu nụrụ na e kwuru sị, ‘Akwala iko.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 Ma asị m unu, onye ọbụla lere nwanyị anya site na-agụụ ịkwa iko emeelarị mmehie ịkwa iko nʼime obi ya megide nwanyị ahụ.
But, I, say unto you, that, Every one who looketh on a woman so as to covet her, already, hath committed adultery with her, in his heart.
29 Nʼihi nke a, ọ bụrụ na anya aka nri gị na-eme ka i jehie, ghụpụ ya tufuo. Ọ kaara gị mma na i tufuru otu akụkụ ahụ gị baa nʼalaeze karịa na i ji ahụ zuruoke baa nʼọkụ ala mmụọ. (Geenna g1067)
And, if, thy right eye, is causing thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, be cast into gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
30 Ọ bụrụ na aka nri gị na-eme ka i jehie, gbupụ ya tufuo. Ọ kaara gị mma na i tufuru otu akụkụ ahụ gị ma baa nʼalaeze eluigwe, karịa na i ji ahụ zuruoke ma baa nʼọkụ ala mmụọ. (Geenna g1067)
And, if, thy right hand, is causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, into gehenna, depart. (Geenna g1067)
31 “E kwukwara sị, ‘Onye ọbụla chọrọ ịgbara nwunye ya alụkwaghị m, ga-ebu ụzọ dee akwụkwọ alụkwaghị m nye nwunye ya.’
It was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
32 Ma asị m unu, onye ọbụla gbara nwunye ya alụkwaghị m, ma ọ bụghị nʼihi ịkwa iko, ọ na-etinye nwanyị ahụ nʼọnọdụ ga-eme ka ọ kwaa iko. Ọ bụrụ na nwanyị ahụ alụọ di ọzọ, nwoke ahụ lụrụ nwanyị ahụ na-emekwa mmehie ịkwa iko.
But, I, say unto you, that, Everyone who divorceth his wife—saving for unfaithfulness, causeth her to be made an adulteress, —[and, whosoever shall marry a divorced woman, committeth adultery].
33 “Ọzọkwa, unu nụrụ na a gwara ndị mmadụ nʼoge gara aga sị, ‘Aṅụla iyi ụgha, kama mezuo ihe niile unu ṅụrụ nʼiyi nye Onyenwe anyị.’
Again, ye have heard that it was said, to them of olden time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, —but shalt render unto the Lord, thine oaths.
34 Ma asị m unu aṅụla iyi ọbụla. Ejikwala eluigwe aṅụ iyi nʼihi na eluigwe bụ ebe ocheeze Chineke dị.
But, I, tell you—not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God, —
35 Ejikwala ụwa aṅụ iyi nʼihi na ụwa bụ ebe mgbakwasị ụkwụ ya. Ejikwala Jerusalem aṅụ iyi nʼihi na ọ bụ obodo Eze ukwu ahụ.
Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because, it is the, city, of the Great King;
36 Ejikwala isi gị aṅụ iyi nʼihi na ị pụghị ime ka otu agịrị isi gị dị ọcha maọbụ dị oji.
Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.
37 Aṅụla iyi ọbụla. Kama ka okwu unu bụrụ ‘E’ maọbụ ‘Ee’; ihe ọbụla gafere nke a sitere nʼaka ajọ onye ahụ.
But let your word be, Yea, yea, —Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.
38 “Unu anụla na e kwuru sị, ‘Ọ bụ anya ka a kụkpọrọ, anya nʼọnọdụ anya. Ọ bụrụkwa otu eze ka e tipụrụ, eze nʼọnọdụ eze.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, —Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.
39 Ma ana m asị unu eguzogidela onye bụ ajọ onye. Kama ọ bụrụ na mmadụ amaa gị ụra na ntị aka nri, tụgharịara ya ntị nke ọzọ.
But, I, tell you, not to resist evil, —Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;
40 Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ agbaa gị akwụkwọ nʼụlọikpe, ka ọ nara gị uwe ime gị, nyekwa ya uwe nke elu gị.
And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.
41 Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ esite nʼike chọọ ka i soro ya gaa puku nzọ ụkwụ atọ, soro ya gaa puku nzọ ụkwụ isii.
And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
42 Nye onye ọbụla rịọrọ gị ihe. Achụghachikwala ndị na-abịa ka i binye ha ego.
To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
43 “Unu nụrụ na e kwuru sị, ‘Hụnụ ndị agbataobi unu nʼanya, ma kpọkwanụ ndị iro unu asị.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 Ma asị m unu, hụnụ ndị iro unu nʼanya, kpekwaaranụ ndị na-esogbu unu ekpere.
But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting you:
45 Nke a ga-eme ka unu bụrụ ụmụ nke Nna unu bi nʼeluigwe, onye na-eme ka anwụ mụọrọ ndị ọma na ndị ọjọọ, na-emekwa ka mmiri zooro ndị ezi omume na ndị ajọ omume.
That ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.
46 Ọ bụrụ naanị ndị hụrụ unu nʼanya ka unu na-ahụ nʼanya, gịnị ga-abụ ụgwọ ọrụ unu? Ọ bụladị ndị ọna ụtụ na-emekwa otu a.
For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?
47 Ọ bụrụkwa na unu na-ekele naanị ndị enyi unu ekele, ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla dị iche nʼebe unu na ndị ọzọ nọ. Nʼihi na ndị na-amaghị Chineke na-emekwa otu ahụ.
And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
48 Ya mere, unu kwesiri izuoke nʼịrụ ọrụ ọma, dịka Nna unu bi nʼeluigwe si zukwaa oke.
Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is perfect.
