Matayo 5
1 Tango Yesu amonaki ebele yango ya bato, amataki likolo ya ngomba mpe avandaki. Bayekoli na Ye bapusanaki pene na Ye,
And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 mpe akomaki kopesa bango malakisi. Alobaki:
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 « Esengo na babola na molimo, pamba te Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali mpo na bango!
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Esengo na bato oyo bazali kolela, pamba te bakobondisama!
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Esengo na bato na komikitisa, pamba te bakozwa mokili lokola libula!
Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Esengo na bato oyo bazali na nzala mpe na posa ya bosembo, pamba te bakotondisama!
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Esengo na bato oyo bayokelaka bato mosusu mawa, pamba te bakoyokela bango mpe mawa!
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 Esengo na bato oyo bazali na mitema peto, pamba te bakomona Nzambe!
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Esengo na bato oyo bayeisaka kimia, pamba te bakobengama bana na Nzambe!
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
10 Esengo na bato oyo bazali konyokolama likolo ya bosembo, pamba te Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali mpo na bango!
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Esengo na bino tango bazali kofinga bino, tango bazali konyokola bino, mpe tango bazali kokosela bino makambo ya lolenge nyonso likolo na Ngai!
"Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Bosepela mpe bozala na esengo, pamba te lifuti na bino ezali monene kati na Likolo; pamba te ezalaki mpe kaka ndenge wana nde banyokolaki basakoli oyo bazalaki liboso na bino.
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 Bozali mungwa ya mokili. Kasi soki mungwa ebungisi elengi na yango, ndenge nini bakokoka lisusu kozongisa elengi na yango? Ezali lisusu na tina moko te; etikali kaka eloko ya kobwaka mpe ya konyata.
"You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trampled under people's feet.
14 Bozali pole ya mokili. Engumba oyo batongi na likolo ya ngomba ekoki kobombama te.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Moto moko te apelisaka mwinda mpo na kotia yango na se ya katini; nzokande, atiaka yango na likolo ya etelemiselo ya minda mpo ete engengisa bato nyonso oyo bazali kati na ndako.
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.
16 Yango wana, tika ete pole na bino engenga liboso ya bato, mpo ete bamona misala malamu na bino mpe bakumisa Tata na bino oyo azali kati na Likolo.
In the same way, let your light shine before people, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 Bokanisa te ete Ngai nayaki mpo na kolongola Mobeko to basakoli; solo, nayaki te mpo na kolongola, kasi nayaki nde mpo na kokokisa.
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Pamba te, nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: liboso ete Likolo mpe mabele elimwa, nkoma moko te oyo eleki moke to litono oyo ezalaka na likolo ya i ekotikala kolongwa kati na Mobeko, kino makambo nyonso ekokisama.
For truly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will disappear from the Law, until all things are accomplished.
19 Yango wana, moto nyonso oyo akobuka moko kati na mibeko oyo, ezala oyo eleki moke kati na yango, mpe akoteya bato mosusu kosala bongo, bakozwa ye lokola moto pamba kati na Bokonzi ya Likolo. Kasi moto oyo akotosa mpe akoteya mibeko oyo epai na bato mosusu akozala moto monene kati na Bokonzi ya Likolo.
Therefore, whoever will break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever will do and teach them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Pamba te, nazali koloba na bino solo ete soki bosembo na bino liboso ya Mobeko eleki te bosembo ya balakisi ya Mobeko mpe ya Bafarizeo, bokokota te na Bokonzi ya Likolo.
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.
21 Boyokaki ete baloba na bakoko na biso: ‹ Okobomaka te. Moto nyonso oyo akoboma moninga na ye asengeli na kosambisama liboso ya basambisi. ›
"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
22 Kasi Ngai, nalobi na bino: Moto nyonso oyo akokangela ndeko na ye kanda akosamba na esambiselo liboso ya basambisi; moto oyo akofinga ndeko na ye: ‹ zoba, › akosamba liboso ya Likita-Monene; mpe oyo akoloba na ndeko na ye: ‹ moto ya liboma, › akobwakama kati na moto ya lifelo. (Geenna g1067)
But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be liable to judgment; and whoever will say to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be in danger of the council; and whoever will say, 'You fool,' will be in danger of the fire of Gihana. (Geenna g1067)
23 Soki ozali kokende kopesa makabo na yo liboso ya etumbelo, mpe ososoli ete ndeko na yo azwa yo na likambo,
"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 tika makabo na yo liboso ya etumbelo mpe kende nanu koyokana na ndeko na yo wana; sima na yango nde okoya kopesa makabo na yo.
leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 Soki moto azwi yo na likambo, yokana na ye noki, wana bozali nanu na nzela; soki te, akofunda yo epai ya mosambisi, mosambisi akokaba yo na maboko ya bakengeli, mpe bakengeli bakobwaka yo na boloko.
Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
26 Nazali koloba na yo penza ya solo: okobima na boloko soki kaka ofuti niongo na yo nyonso.
Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 Boyokaki ete baloba: ‹ Okosalaka ekobo te. ›
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
28 Kasi Ngai, nalobi na bino: Mobali nyonso oyo atali mwasi na makanisi ya kolula ye, asili kosala na ye ekobo kati na motema na ye.
but I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 Yango wana, soki liso na yo ya ngambo ya mobali ekweyisaka yo na masumu, longola yango mpe bwaka yango mosika na yo; pamba te eleki malamu mpo na yo kobungisa eteni moko ya nzoto, na esika ete nzoto na yo mobimba ebwakama na lifelo. (Geenna g1067)
And 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 Gihana. (Geenna g1067)
30 Soki mpe loboko na yo ya ngambo ya mobali ekweyisaka yo na masumu, kata yango mpe bwaka yango mosika na yo; pamba te eleki malamu mpo na yo kobungisa eteni moko ya nzoto, na esika ete nzoto na yo mobimba ekende na lifelo. (Geenna g1067)
And 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 Gihana. (Geenna g1067)
31 Boyokaki lisusu ete baloba: ‹ Soki mobali akabwani na mwasi na ye, asengeli kopesa ye mokanda ya koboma libala. ›
"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
32 Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: Mobali nyonso oyo alongoli mwasi na ye na libala, longola kaka soki mwasi yango akweyaki na ekobo, afungoleli ye nzela ya kosala kindumba; mpe mobali oyo abali mwasi oyo balongola na libala asali mpe ekobo.
but I tell you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.
33 Boyokaki lisusu ete baloba na bakoko na biso: ‹ Okolapa ndayi ya lokuta te, kasi kokisa bilaka oyo opesaki na nzela ya ndayi liboso ya Nkolo. ›
"Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'Do not make false vows, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.'
34 Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: bolapaka ndayi te, ezala na kombo ya Likolo, pamba te Likolo ezali Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe,
But I tell you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 to na kombo ya mokili, pamba te mokili ezali enyatelo makolo ya Nzambe; to mpe na kombo ya Yelusalemi, pamba te Yelusalemi ezali engumba ya Mokonzi Monene.
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Urishlim, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Bosalelaka mpe te mito na bino mpo na kolapa ndayi, pamba te bokoki te kokomisa moko kati na suki ya mito na bino pembe to mwindo.
Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Kasi bolobaka kaka ‹ iyo › soki ezali iyo, mpe ‹ te › soki ezali bongo, pamba te maloba nyonso oyo ebakisamaka likolo ewutaka na Mokosi.
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 Boyokaki ete baloba: ‹ Liso mpo na liso, linu mpo na linu. ›
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
39 Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: Botelemelaka te moto mabe; kutu soki abeti yo mbata na litama ya ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, pesa ye mpe litama ya ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi.
But I tell you, do not set yourself against the one who is evil. But whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Soki moto alingi kofunda yo mpo na kozwa elamba na yo, pesa ye mpe kazaka na yo.
And if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
41 Soki moto atindi yo na makasi ete otambola kilometele moko, yo, tambola bakilometele mibale elongo na ye.
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Pesa na moto oyo asengi yo, mpe koboya te kodefisa na moto oyo alingi kodefa epai na yo.
Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 Boyokaki ete baloba: ‹ Linga moninga na yo mpe yina monguna na yo. ›
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
44 Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: Bolingaka banguna na bino mpe bosambelaka mpo na bato oyo banyokolaka bino.
But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45 Na ndenge wana nde bokozala bana ya Tata na bino, oyo azali kati na Likolo, pamba te abimisaka moyi mpo na bato malamu mpe mpo na bato mabe, mpe anokisaka mvula mpo na bato ya sembo mpe mpo na bato oyo bazali sembo te.
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.
46 Soki bolingaka kaka bato oyo balingaka bino, lifuti nini bokozwa? Boni, bafutisi mpako basalaka mpe bongo te?
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 Soki bopesaka mbote kaka na bandeko mibali na bino, likambo nini ya kokamwa oyo bosalaka? Boni, bapagano basalaka mpe bongo te?
And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
48 Bozala bato ya kokoka ndenge Tata na bino ya Likolo azali ya kokoka.
You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
