Matai 5
1 Navope aviile avawene ifipugu fya vanu akhatoga khukhyamba. Pu avile amalile ukhulama, avakongi va mwene vakhincha.
And having seen the multitudes, he went up to the mount, and he having sat down, his disciples came to him,
2 Pwakha deendula undomo gwa mwene akhanja ukhuvamanyisya, nu khuta,
and having opened his mouth, he was teaching them, saying:
3 “Huba vala avaganchu va numbula manya uluudeva lwa khukyanya lwavo.
'Happy the poor in spirit — because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
4 Huba avanya lususuvalo, manya avo yaviachesiwagwa.
'Happy the mourning — because they shall be comforted.
5 Huba avanyakhisa, manya avo vala khihala ikhilunga.
'Happy the meek — because they shall inherit the land.
6 Huba avanya njala ni khyumilwa ikhya yeilweli, manya avo valigutaga.
'Happy those hungering and thirsting for righteousness — because they shall be filled.
7 Huba vula avanya lusyikhilo manya avo valasyeikhiliwagwa.
'Happy the kind — because they shall find kindness.
8 Huba avanya numbula inonu manya avo yavikhumbona uNguluve.
'Happy the clean in heart — because they shall see God.
9 Huba avavisayania, manya avo vikhilangiwagwa vana va Nguluve.
'Happy the peacemakers — because they shall be called Sons of God.
10 Huba avaviveipeiliwa savuli ya vuyeilweli manya uludeeva lwa khukyanya lwavo.
'Happy those persecuted for righteousness' sake — because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
11 Huba umwe yumwe avanu yavikhuvadukhaga nukhuvapa uluvungu nukhuva uvuvivi umwe nukhuvadelela savuli yango.
'Happy are ye whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for my sake —
12 Muhovokhage nukhulu lutila, manya ulutalama lwinyo luvaha khukyanya ulwa khuva vuyeilievyo avanu vava vungaga avanya malago avuvalekhyo umwe vu mukhanale.
rejoice ye and be glad, because your reward [is] great in the heavens, for thus did they persecute the prophets who were before you.
13 Umwe mulei mwoyo gwa khilunga. Pu einave umwinyo guyanchinche uvunonu wa gwene, pu yiva ndakhikhi ukhuta yuve nonu khange? Pu nalusikhu sagwiva nonu khu khinu eikhinge khyukhyoni, puleino pugwiva gwa khutaga khunji nukhukadiwa na vanu.
'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.
14 Umwe muleilumuli lwa khilunga. Uvunchege uwuvunchengiwa pakyanya pakhyamba savufihama.
'Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is not able to be hid;
15 Na vavanu saviwasya einyali nu khuveikha pasi pakhisanja, pu vi veikha pavuhagufu, puyikhuva muleikhaga voni avahei mgati munyumba.
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;
16 Pumululekhe ulumuli lwenyo lumuleikhage mbulongolo mu vanu munjeila eiya khuta avanu vanchivonage imbombo inonu ndyumwe nu khumwimikha uDaada yeinyo uva khukyanya.
so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who [is] in the heavens.
17 Mlekhe ukhuta ninchile khudenya ululageilo vave vuvanya malago saninchile khudenya punichele khwinoncha nukhugolosya.
'Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets — I did not come to throw down, but to fulfil;
18 Pu lweli nikhuvavula ukhuta pu napakha ikyanya ni khilunga fyooni filute, khisikhuli eikhigelelo nakhimo eikhya lulagilo ulu yakhiva lwihega, pu mpakha apo upoyakhiva khila khinu khiva khikwilanile.
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.
19 Pu leino umunu uveiavenchaga uveideenya ululagilo uludeebe loninie mundagilo inchi nukhuvanyisya akange ukhudeenya uywa puikhilangiwaga ideebe muludeva lwa khukyanya. Pu ula uveikhunchibata nukhuvamanyisya avange uywa ikhilangiwaga imbaha muludeeva lwa khukyanya.
'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.
20 Manya nikhuvavula ukhuta einave uvugolofu weinyo savulutiila, mumbogolofu wa vasimbi va kalata na Vafalisyao, pusamuleingile lusikhu mundudeeva ulwa khukyanya.
'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.
21 Mupoulikhe ukhuta avanu ava khatale vavuliwe ukhuta, ulahudaga nu munu ubudi panogile ukhuheigiwa.'
'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill, and whoever may kill shall be in danger of the judgment;
22 Pu leino une nikhuvavula ukhuta umunu unyaluviipo khu niine punogile ukhuheigiwa, umunu uveikhinchifula nukhusula ulukololwe panugile ukhuheigiwa palulundamano lwa vaheigi nu munu uveikotola vivakhulahiwa mundugadu ncho ulwa mwoto ukali. (Geenna g1067)
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)
23 Puleino unave vuheileikha isadakha ya panekhelo yakhutekhela khuntwa, punakhumbukhe ukhuta uleininogwa nu lukololwo ikuta nuve,
'If, therefore, thou mayest bring thy gift to the altar, and there mayest remember that thy brother hath anything against thee,
24 pu yeilekhe isadakha eiyo pala panekhelo, pu beite tasi ukhideehane nulukololwo, pukilivukhe khwilaha isadakha yakho.
leave there thy gift before the altar, and go — first be reconciled to thy brother, and then having come bring thy gift.
25 Weideehane nu munu uveitutile inogwa khumwene, weideikhe khimbeivi mbeive vumuleimunjeila mwiluta khubalasa, pu unave savukhwidehana nave munjei pu ula uveiutulile einongwa khumwene avahile ukhukhulekha khumbaha vavuheigi wa nongwa pu ula ikhukhuheilikha mmavokho ga vasikhali puvikhukhudeindeila mundu pala nie minyololo.
'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,
26 Pu weideikhe ukhu nalusikhu sakha khudekhepele winchiga ukungiwe mulamula vusuhombile eihela ya mwene impakha yakhiva vuhomba yooni.
verily I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till that thou mayest pay the last farthing.
27 Mupulikhe ukhuta, linchoviwe eilita ulaligupaga.'
'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not commit adultery;
28 Pu une nikhuvavula niita umunu ikhundola udala mumbunogwe uywa amalile ukhuligupa nave munumbula ya mwene.
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.
29 Enave eiliho lyakho eilya khundyo likhukhupela uvunangi pu uleihenche utage khuvutali nuve. Ulwa khuva huba uve mbula khamagikha khaninie. Pu umbeili gwakho gwooni gulekhe ukhutagiwa mundugaduncho la mwoto. (Geenna g1067)
'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)
30 Pu ni khivokho khyakho eikhya khundyo khinga khupele uvunangi pugeide, utage khutali nuve. Manya panogile uve mbulakhimagikha khininie, pu umbeili gwakho gyooni gulekhe ukhutagiwa mundugaduncho lwa mwoto. (Geenna g1067)
'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)
31 Leinchoviwe eilita, uveihumya udala nukhupa eikalata eiyiita niswimile udala uyu.'
'And it was said, That whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing of divorce;
32 Pu une nikhuvavula niita, uveihumya udala va mwene vusaligwipe, pu ikhupela aveindigu na vanu avange pu umunu uveitola udala uvalekhiwe nu gosi va mwene uywa pu iva iligupa nave.
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.
33 Mupulikhe ukhuta, vavuliwe ava viise veinyo ukhuta, 'Ulekhe ukhwijiega mbudesi, pu umwe mweijiagage khu Ntwa kwene uvwayeilweli.
'Again, ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not swear falsely, but thou shalt pay to the Lord thine oaths;
34 Pu une leino nikhuvavula niita, muleijieguga na padebe, khumela nu khuta manya nakhukyanya, ulwa khuva khyukhigoda eikhya Nguluve;
but I — I say to you, not to swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is the throne of God,
35 Khive mukhilunga manya pupakhuvikha amalunde ga mwene, yeive mwu mu Jelusalemu, pakhuva wuvunchenge uwankuludeva umbaha.
nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is a city of a great king,
36 Khyumela nukhwijiega pakhuta, manya neilie nuntwe manya neilieninchwele pakhuva sawigela nukhupela ate uluywilei hata lumo ukhuta luve lu valafu yeive luve lutitu.
nor by thy head mayest thou swear, because thou art not able one hair to make white or black;
37 Pu amamenyu geinyo gavenchage ga khuta, 'Ena, enave mukhweideihana, mutenchage khyomela enave samukhwi deihana.' Pa khuva agaluteilile pa ago gihuma mundugu.
but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil.
38 Mupulikhe lisimbiwe eilita ukhwita, vuleila eiliho pa liho, eilino pa lino.'
'Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth;
39 Pu leino une nikhuvavula niita, mulakilanaga nu munu umbivi; pu umunu anakhutove ni lipi khuvunchuga waakho uluvafu ulwa khundyo pupinchage nuluvafu ulunge lwope atove.
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;
40 Pu umunu anakhuheileikhe pavuheigi apokhe umwenda gwakho pu upinchage na gugunge.
and whoever is willing to take thee to law, and thy coat to take — suffer to him also the cloak.
41 Pu ula uveikhukhyumeilincha ukhugenda nu mwene eimaili yeimo pu gende nave imaili eveili.
'And whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two,
42 Pu ula uveikhudova ifya khudova upeinchage, ula uveidova ukole upe ulekhe ukhusyetukhila khungosi.
to him who is asking of thee be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from thee thou mayest not turn away.
43 Mu pulikhe leisimbiwe eilita uganage unino, unsoulage utavangwa.'
'Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and shalt hate thine enemy;
44 Pu une nikhuvavula niita muvaganage avatavangwa veinyo, muvadovelage ulusayo vala avikhuvakotola muvavombelage inonu na vala vavo vavansoulile,
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,
45 pu muvenchaga vaana va Daada yeinyo uva khukyanya. Pakhuva umwene ikhuva muleikhila eilinchuva avavivi na vanonu, ifula ya mwene yeitima khu vagolofu navatava vagolofu.
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.
46 Pumunave mukhuvagana vala vavo vavaganile umwe, pu muhombiwa khinukheikhi? Avasangunchi voope nchusavivoomba ndincho?
'For, if ye may love those loving you, what reward have ye? do not also the tax-gatherers the same?
47 Hange munave musamusania mwivana munu yumwe, pu muvomba khinu khikhi ukhuluteila? Pu! avanu avapanchi nchu savivoomba ndiincho?
and if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant? do not also the tax-gatherers so?
48 Pu umwe muvenchage vagolofu nduvu u Dada yeinyo uvakhukyanya umwavelile igolofu.
ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.
