Matayo 5
1 Awo Yesu bwe yalaba ng’ebibiina byeyongera obungi, n’alinnya ku lusozi, abayigirizwa be ne bajja gy’ali,
But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, —and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;
2 n’abayigiriza ng’agamba nti:
and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: —
3 “Balina omukisa abaavu mu mwoyo, kubanga abo Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bwe bwabwe.
Happy, the destitute, in spirit; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens;
4 Balina omukisa abali mu nnaku, kubanga abo balisanyusibwa.
Happy, they who mourn; for, they, shall be comforted:
5 Balina omukisa abeetoowaze, kubanga abo balisikira ensi.
Happy, the meek; for, they, shall inherit the earth:
6 Balina omukisa abalumwa enjala olw’obutuukirivu kubanga abo balikkusibwa.
Happy, they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for, they, shall be filled:
7 Balina omukisa ab’ekisa, kubanga abo balikwatirwa ekisa.
Happy, the merciful; for, they, shall receive mercy:
8 Balina omukisa abalina omutima omulongoofu, kubanga abo baliraba Katonda.
Happy, the pure, in heart; for, they, shall, see God:
9 Balina omukisa abatabaganya, kubanga abo baliyitibwa baana ba Katonda.
Happy, the peacemakers; for, they, shall be, called sons of God:
10 Balina omukisa abayigganyizibwa olw’obutuukirivu, kubanga abo obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bwe bwabwe.”
Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 “Mulina omukisa mmwe, bwe banaabavumanga, ne babayigganya, ne baboogerako ebibi ebya buli ngeri, ne babawaayiriza, nga babalanga nze.
Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:
12 Musanyuke era mujaguze kubanga empeera yammwe nnene mu ggulu, ne bannabbi ab’edda bwe baayigganyizibwa bwe batyo.”
Rejoice and exult, because, your reward, is great in the heavens; for, so, persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
13 “Mmwe muli munnyo gwa nsi. Naye kale bwe guggwaamu obuka, guliba munnyo nate? Olwo gukasukibwa ebweru ne gulinnyirirwa n’ebigere, nga tegukyalina mugaso gwonna.
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 “Mmwe muli musana gwa nsi. Ekibuga tekikwekebwa ku lusozi.
Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
15 Era omuntu takoleeza ttabaaza ate n’agisaanikirako ekibbo, wabula agiteeka ku kikondo n’emulisiza bonna abali mu nju.
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 Kale nammwe ebikolwa byammwe ebirungi byakirenga abantu bonna, babirabenga, bagulumize Kitammwe ali mu ggulu.
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 “Temulowooza nti Najja okuggyawo amateeka ga Musa oba ebya bannabbi. Sajja okubiggyawo wabula okubituukiriza.
Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, —I came not to pull down, but to fulfil.
18 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti Eggulu n’ensi biyinza okuggwaawo, naye ennukuta emu wadde akatonnyeze akamu mu mateeka tebirivaawo okutuusa byonna lwe birituukirira.
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 Noolwekyo oyo amenya etteeka erisembayo obutono, n’ayigiriza n’abalala okukola bwe batyo, y’alisembayo mu bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu.
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 Naye mbalabula nti Okuggyako ng’obutuukirivu bwammwe businga obw’Abafalisaayo n’obw’abawandiisi, temuliyingira mu bwakabaka bwa mu ggulu.”
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 “Mwawulira ab’edda bwe baagambibwa nti, ‘Tottanga, na buli anattanga, anaawozesebwa.’
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 Naye mbagamba nti Buli alisunguwalira muganda we aliwozesebwa. Na buli anaagambanga muganda we nti, ‘Laka,’ anaatwalibwa mu lukiiko lw’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya n’awozesebwa. Na buli anaagambanga nti, ‘Musirusiru,’ asaanidde okusuulibwa mu muliro ogwa ggeyeena. (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 “Bw’obanga oli mu maaso ga Katonda, ng’omuleetedde ekirabo eky’okuwaayo nga ssaddaaka, n’ojjukira nga waliwo gw’olinako ensonga,
If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
24 ekirabo kyo sooka okireke awo oddeyo omale okumwetondera mutegeeragane, olyoke okomewo oweeyo ekirabo kyo eri Katonda.
leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw, —first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy gift.
25 “Tegeeragananga mangu n’oyo akuwawaabira nga mukyali mu kkubo aleme kukutwala wa mulamuzi, n’omulamuzi okukuwaayo eri omuserikale, n’omuserikale okukuteeka mu kkomera.
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 Nkutegeeza nti Olibeera omwo okutuusa lw’olimalayo byonna by’obanjibwa.”
Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
27 “Mwawulira bwe kyagambibwa nti, ‘Toyendanga!’
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 Naye mbagamba nti Buli muntu atunuulira omukazi n’amwegomba aba amaze okumwendako mu mutima gwe.
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 Noolwekyo obanga eriiso Lyo erya ddyo likuleetera okwesittala, liggyeemu olisuule wala. Kubanga kirungi okugenda mu ggulu ng’ebitundu byo ebimu tobirina okusinga okugenda nabyo byonna mu ggeyeena. (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 Era obanga omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gukukozesa ebibi, kirungi okugutemako ogusuule wala. Okugenda mu ggulu ng’ekitundu ky’omubiri gwo ekimu tokirina kisinga okugenda mu ggeyeena n’ebitundu by’omubiri gwo byonna. (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 Kyagambibwa nti, ‘Buli anaagobanga mukazi we, anaawanga omukazi oyo ebbaluwa ey’okumugoba.’
It was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
32 Naye mbagamba nti Buli anaagobanga mukazi we wabula olw’obwenzi anaabanga amwenzesezza, n’oyo anaawasanga omukazi gwe bagobye anaabanga ayenze.”
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 “Mwawulira bwe kyagambibwa ab’edda nti, ‘Buli kye weeyamanga eri Mukama okituukirizanga.’
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 Naye mbagamba nti: Temulayiranga n’akatono! Temulayiranga ggulu, kubanga ye ntebe y’obwakabaka bwa Katonda.
But, I, tell you—not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God, —
35 Temulayiranga nsi, kubanga y’entebe y’ebigere bye. Temulayiranga Yerusaalemi, kubanga ky’ekibuga kya Kabaka omukulu.
Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because, it is the, city, of the Great King;
36 Era tolayiranga mutwe gwo, kubanga toyinza na kufuula luviiri lwo olumu okuba olweru oba oluddugavu.
Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.
37 Naye muddangamu buzzi nti, ‘Weewaawo.’ Oba nti, ‘Si weewaawo’. Kubanga bw’ogezaako okukakasa ebigambo byo n’okulayira kiraga nti waliwo ekitali kituufu.”
But let your word be, Yea, yea, —Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.
38 “Mwawulira nga kyagambibwa nti, ‘Omuntu bw’anaggyangamu eriiso lya munne n’erirye linaggibwangamu. Oba omuntu bw’anaaggyangamu erinnyo lya munne, n’erirye banaalikuulangamu.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, —Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.
39 Naye mbagamba nti, Temuwakananga na mubi, naye omuntu bw’akukubanga oluyi ku ttama erya ddyo omukyusizanga n’ettama eryokubiri.
But, I, tell you, not to resist evil, —Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;
40 Omuntu bw’ayagalanga okuwoza naawe atwale essaati yo, omulekeranga n’ekkooti yo.
And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.
41 N’oyo akuwalirizanga okumwetikkirako omugugu gwe kilomita emu, omutwalirangako n’eyokubiri.
And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
42 Akusaba omuwanga, n’oyo ayagala okukwewolako tomukubanga mabega.”
To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
43 “Mwawulira ab’edda bwe baagambibwa nti, ‘Yagalanga muliraanwa wo, naye okyawenga mulabe wo.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 Naye nze mbagamba nti, Mwagalenga abalabe bammwe! Musabirenga ababayigganya!
But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting you:
45 Bwe mulikola bwe mutyo muliba baana ba Kitammwe ali mu ggulu. Kubanga omusana gwe agwakiza abalungi n’ababi, era n’enkuba agitonnyeza ab’amazima n’abatali ba mazima.
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 Bwe mwagala ababaagala bokka, mufunamu ki? N’abawooza bwe bakola bwe batyo.
For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?
47 Era bwe munaalamusanga baganda bammwe bokka, munaaba mulina njawulo ki n’abalala? Kubanga ne bannamawanga bwe bakola bwe batyo.
And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
48 Naye mmwe kibagwanira okubeeranga abatuukirivu nga Kitammwe ali mu ggulu bw’ali Omutuukirivu.”
Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is perfect.
