Matei 5
1 Yesu peauwene msambi wa vandu, akakwela kuchitumbi, akatama. Vawuliwa vaki vakamlanda,
And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 mwene akatumbula kuvawula, akajova.
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 Vamotisiwa vevavi vangangu mumpungu, muni Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga ndi wavi!
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Vamotisiwa vana mvinisu mumtima ndava vambudili Chapanga, muni Chapanga alavapolesa mitima!
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Vamotisiwa vangolongondi, muni valahala mulima.
Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Vamotisiwa vana njala na vevavi na njota ya kukita geigana Chapanga, muni Chapanga alavayukutisa
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Vamotisiwi vevavi na lipyana, muni Chapanga alavahengela lipyana.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 Vamotisiwi vevavi na mtima wa msopi, muni yati valamuwona Chapanga.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Vamotisiwi vatepulanisa, muni yati vikemelewa vana vaki Chapanga.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
10 Vamotisiwi veving'aiswa ndava ya kukita geigana Chapanga, muni Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga ndi wa vene.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Mumotisiwi nyenye vandu vakavaliga, vakavanyagayi na kuvadetela uhakau ndava ya nene.
"Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Mheka na kululuta muni njombi yinu yivaha kunani kwa Chapanga, chenichi ndi chevavahengili Vamlota va Chapanga vevavalongolili kwakona nyenye.”
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 Nyenye ndi mwinyu wa pamulima! Nambu luyong'onyo lwaki lwakayaga yati yisopewa kiki? Yivya lepi na lihengu kavili yati kutagika kuvala na vandu vakuyilivatila.
"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 “Nyenye ndi ngati lumuli lwa pamulima! Muji weujengiwi panani ya chitumbi ufiyika lepi.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Vandu vipambika lepi hahi na kuigubika na chiviga, muni yivikiwa panani ya chibokoselu kuvalangasa voha vevavi mugati.
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 Mewawa lumuli lwinu luvalangasa palongolo ya vandu, vagalola matendu ginu gabwina, vamlumbalila Dadi winu mweavi kunani.”
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 “Mkoto kuhololela kuvya nibweli kuwusa malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa amala mawuliwu ga Vamlota va Chapanga. Nibweli lepi kuwusa, ndi nibweli muni kugatimalisa.
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Nikujovela chakaka, mbaka kunani na mulima yati zihamba, kawaka hati nukuta yimonga yeyiwusiwa mumalagizu mbaka goha gatimila.
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 Hinu, mundu yeyoha angayidakila hati mihilu umonga udebe kuliku zoha, na kuvawula vangi vakita ago, mwenuyo yati ivya mdebe neju, Muunkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga. Nambu mweiyuwanila na kuvawula vangi mwenuyo yati ivya mvaha muunkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.
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 Muyuwanila, ubwina winu ngati nakuyonjokesa wula wa vawula va malagizu na Vafalisayu, katu nakuyingila mu Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.”
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 “Mmali kuyuwana kuvya vandu va kadeni chavajoviwi, ‘Ukoto kukoma! Mundu yeyoha mweikoma yikumgana ahamuliwa.’
"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
22 Nambu nene nikuvajovela, mundu yeyoha mweakumyomela mlongo waki, yati ihamuliwa. Mundu yeyoha mweakumvevesa mlongo waki yati vakumtakila kulibanji la mihalu. Mweakumkemela mlongo waki, ‘Myimu! Yati iyingila kumotu wa magono goha wangajimika.’” (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 hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Hinu, ngati upeleka luteta lwaku palongolo ya lusanja lwa luteta, na ukumbwiki kuvya mlongo waku avi na luhonda na veve,
"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 Ululeka luteta lwaku pa lusanja lwa luteta, hamba hoti ukatepulana na mlongo waku kangi uwuya kavili uwusa luteta lwaku.”
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 “Tepulana na mweakutakili kanyata mwakona munjila kuhamba kulibanji la mihalu. Ngati lepi, mweakutakili yati akukugotola mumawoko ga mhamula mihalu, mwene akugotola kwa manjolinjoli na kukungiwa muchifungu.
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 Nikujovela chakaka yati nakuhuma mbaka ulipili sendi ya mwishu.”
Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 “Muyuwini kuvya vandu vajoviwi, kotoka kukita ugoni!
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
28 Nambu nene nikuvajovela, kila mundu mweakumlolokesa mdala cha kumnogela amali kugona nayu mumtima waki.
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 Hinu, lihu laku la upandi wa kulyelela likakubudisa, ulitupula ukalitaga kutali. Mbanga neju, veve kuyaganisa pandu pamonga pa higa yaku, kuliku higa yaku yoha kutagika pamotu wa magono goha wangajimika. (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 hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Ngati chiwoko chaku cha kulyela chikubudisa chidumulai ukatagayi kutali. Mbanga veve kuyaganisa pandu pamonga pa higa yaku kuliku higa yaku yoha yihambi kumotu wa magono goha wangajimika.” (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 hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Gamali kujovekwa kuvya, ‘Mundu yeyoha mweakumleka mdala waki, amyandakila balua ya kumleka.’
"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
32 Nambu nene nikuvajovela, mundu yeyoha mweakumleka mdala waki, nambu ndu ndava ya kumkamula ugoni, akumkita mkemi. Na mgosi akamgegai mdala yula mwealekiwi ikita ugoni nayu.”
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 “Kangi myuwini vandu va kadeni vajoviwi, ‘Ukotoka kudenya chilapu chaku, nambu uganikiwa kutimilisa chilapu chaku kwa Bambu.’
"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 Nambu nene nikuvajovela, katu mkotoka kulapa, hati kunani kwa Chapanga, muni ndi chigoda cha Chapanga cha unkosi waki,
But I tell you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 amala kulapa kwa mulima muni chigoda cha kuvikila magendelu gaki, amala ku Yelusalemu muni muji wa Nkosi mkulu.
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Ukoto kulapa pamutu waku, muni nakuhotola kuuhenga hati luyunju lumonga kuvya lwa msopi amala lutitu.
Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Mkajovai ‘Ena,’ Ndi yivya ‘Ena,’ Mkajovai, ‘Mbwitu,’ Chakaka yivyai ‘Mbwitu,’ Chochoha chechiyonjokeseka pa genago chihumila kwa Setani.”
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 “Muyuwini kuvya gajoviki. ‘Lihu kwa lihu, linu kwa linu.’
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
39 Nambu nene nikuvajovela, ukotoka kumuwuyisila mundu mhakau. Mundu akakupamanda, mulitama la kulyela, mng'anamusila na litama la kumangeya.
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 Mundu akakutakila igana kukunyaga nyula yaku, mlekela atola mewa na likoti laku.
And if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
41 Mundu akakukamula kwa makakala ugegai ndwika yaki kilomita yimonga, ugegai kilomita zivili.
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Mweakukuyupa mpelai, na ukotoka kumtila mundu mweakuyaika chindu.”
Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 “Myuwini kuvya gajoviki, mgana muyaku, na mvenga likoko waku.
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
44 Nambu nene nikuvajovela, muvagana makoko vinu na kuvayupila vala vevakuvang'aisa nyenye,
But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45 muni mpata kuvya vana va Dadi winu mweavi kunani. Muni mwene akuvalangasila lilanga laki vandu makoko na vandu vabwina, na kuvatonyela fula kwa vandu vabwina palongolo yaki na vandu vahakau.
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 Wu, njombi yoki mwipata kuhuma kwa Chapanga? Ngati mukuvagana vala vevakuvagana nyenye ndu! Kawaka! Muni hati vatola kodi navene vikita mewa!
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 Ngati Mukuvajambusa valongo vinu ndu, mhengili chindu kiki neju kuliku vangi? Muni hati vangammanya Chapanga vikita mewawa.
And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
48 Mwiganikiwa mkoto kupungula chochoa mukuhenga gabwina ngati Dadi winu wa kunani kwa Chapanga angapungula.”
You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
