Maatewos 5
1 Yesuus yommuu namoota baayʼee argetti, tulluutti ol baʼee taaʼe. Barattoonni isaas gara isaa dhufan;
And seeing great masses of people he went up into the mountain; and when he was seated his disciples came to him.
2 innis isaan barsiisuu jalqabe. Akkanas jedhe:
And with these words he gave them teaching, saying,
3 “Warri hafuuraan hiyyeeyyii taʼan eebbifamoo dha; mootummaan samii kan isaaniitii.
Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
4 Warri gaddan eebbifamoo dha; jajjabina ni argatuutii.
Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.
5 Warri garraamiin eebbifamoo dha; lafa ni dhaaluutii.
Happy are the gentle: for the earth will be their heritage.
6 Warri qajeelummaa beelaʼanii fi dheebotan eebbifamoo dha; isaan ni quufuutii.
Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire.
7 Araara qabeeyyiin eebbifamoo dha; araara ni argatuutii.
Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.
8 Warri garaan isaanii qulqulluu eebbifamoo dha; Waaqa ni arguutii.
Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.
9 Warri nagaa buusan eebbifamoo dha; ijoollee Waaqaa ni jedhamuutii.
Happy are the peacemakers: for they will be named sons of God.
10 Warri qajeelummaadhaaf jedhanii ariʼataman eebbifamoo dha; mootummaan samii kan isaaniitii.
Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.
11 “Yommuu namoonni sababii kootiif jedhanii isin arrabsan, yommuu isin ariʼatanii fi yommuu waan hamaa gosa hundaa sobaan isin irratti dubbatan isin eebbifamoo dha.
Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.
12 Sababii gatiin keessan samii keessatti guddaa taʼeef ililchaa; gammadaas; isaan raajota isin dura turanis haaluma kanaan ariʼataniiruutii.
Be glad and full of joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so were the prophets attacked who were before you.
13 “Isin soogidda lafaa ti. Garuu soogiddi yoo miʼaa isaa dhabe, miʼaan isaa akkamiin deebifamuu dandaʼa? Gad gatamee miillaan dhidhiitama malee siʼachi waan tokko illee hin fayyadu.
You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.
14 “Isin ifa addunyaa ti. Magaalaan gaara gubbaa jiru tokko dhokachuu hin dandaʼu.
You are the light of the world. A town put on a hill may be seen by all.
15 Yookaan namoonni ibsaa qabsiisanii gombisaa jala hin kaaʼan. Qooda kanaa baattuu isaa irra kaaʼu; ibsaan sunis namoota mana keessa jiran hundaaf ifa kenna.
And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house.
16 Akka namoonni hojii keessan isa gaarii arganii abbaa keessan kan samii irraatiif ulfina kennaniif ifni keessanis akkasuma fuula namootaa duratti haa ifu.
Even so let your light be shining before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
17 “Isin waan ani Seera yookaan Raajota diiguu dhufe hin seʼinaa; ani isaan raawwachuuf malee diiguuf hin dhufne.
Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.
18 Ani dhuguman isinitti hima; hamma samii fi lafti darbanitti, Seerri guutummaatti raawwatama malee seericha keessaa qubeen tokko iyyuu, tuqaan xinnoon ishee iyyuu gonkumaa hin baddu.
Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.
19 Kanaafuu namni ajajawwan kanneen keessaa xinnaa isaa illee diigu, kan akka warri kaanis diiganiif barsiisu kam iyyuu mootummaa samii keessatti xinnaa jedhama; namni ajajawwan kanneen eeguu fi kan warra kaanis barsiisu kam iyyuu garuu mootummaa samii keessatti guddaa jedhama.
Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Ani isinittin hima; qajeelummaan keessan qajeelummaa Fariisotaatii fi qajeelummaa barsiistota seeraa yoo caaluu baate isin dhugumaan mootummaa samiitti hin galtan.
For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.
21 “Isin akka bara dheeraan dura namootaan, ‘Hin ajjeesin; nama ajjeese kamitti iyyuu ni muramaa’jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:
22 Ani garuu isinittin hima; nama obboleessa isaatti dheekkamu hundumaa murtiitu eeggata. Namni obboleessa isaatiin ‘Raatuu’ jedhu hundis murtii waldaatti dhiʼaata. Nama obboleessa isaatiin ‘Doofaa nana!’ jedhu immoo ibidda gahaannamtu isa eeggata. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Kanaafuu ati yeroo kennaa kee iddoo aarsaatti dhiʼeessitutti yoo akka obboleessi kee komii sirraa qabu yaadatte,
If then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something against you,
24 kennaa kee achuma iddoo aarsaa duratti dhiisii dhaqiitii duraan dursii obboleessa keetti araarami; ergasii kottuutii kennaa kee dhiʼeessi.
While your offering is still before the altar, first go and make peace with your brother, then come and make your offering.
25 “Amajaajii kee isa mana murtiitti si geessaa jiru wajjin dafii walii gali. Kanas utuma isa wajjin karaa jirtuu godhi; yoo kanaa achii amajaajiin kee dabarsee abbaa seeraatti si kenna; abbaan seeraa immoo poolisiitti si kenna; atis mana hidhaatti darbatamta.
Come to an agreement quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put into prison.
26 Ani dhuguman sitti hima; ati hamma saantima ishee dhumaa baaftutti achii hin baatu.
Truly I say to you, You will not come out from there till you have made payment of the very last farthing.
27 “Isin akka, ‘Hin ejjin’jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
You have knowledge that it was said, You may not have connection with another man's wife:
28 Ani garuu isinittin hima; namni hawwiidhaan dubartii ilaalu hundinuu yaada isaatti ishee wajjin ejjeera.
But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.
29 Yoo iji kee mirgaa si gufachiise, of keessaa baasii gati. Dhagni kee guutuun gahaannamitti darbatamuu irra, kutaa dhagna keetii keessaa tokko dhabuu siif wayyaatii. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Yoo harki kee mirgaa si gufachiise of irraa murii gati. Dhagni kee guutuun gahaannamitti galuu irra, kutaa dhagna keetii keessaa tokko dhabuu siif wayya. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Namni niitii isaa hiiku kam iyyuu, ‘Waraqaa ragaa hiikkaa haa kennuuf’jedhameera.
Again, it was said, Whoever puts away his wife has to give her a statement in writing for this purpose:
32 Ani garuu isinittin hima; namni utuu isheen halalummaa hin hojjetin niitii isaa hiiku kam iyyuu akka isheen ejjitu ishee taasisa; namni dubartii hiikamte fuudhu kam iyyuus ni ejja.
But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.
33 “Ammas akka warra duriitiin, ‘Waan kakatte Gooftaadhaaf guuti malee sobaan hin kakatin’jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
Again, you have knowledge that it was said in old times, Do not take false oaths, but give effect to your oaths to the Lord:
34 Ani garuu isinittin hima; gonkumaa hin kakatinaa: samiidhaan hin kakatinaa; inni teessoo Waaqaatii;
But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;
35 yookaan lafaan hin kakatinaa; isheen ejjeta miilla isaatii; yookaan Yerusaalemiin hin kakatinaa; isheen magaalaa Mooticha Guddaatii.
Or by the earth, because it is the resting-place for his foot; or by Jerusalem, because it is the town of the great King.
36 Mataa keetiinis hin kakatin; ati rifeensa tokko illee addeessuu yookaan gurraachesuu hin dandeessuutii.
You may not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
37 Wanni isin jechuu qabdan, ‘Eeyyee’ yookaan ‘Waawuu’ haa taʼu; wanni kanaa achii kam iyyuu isa hamaa sana irraa dhufa.
But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.
38 “‘Qooda ijaa, ija; qooda ilkaanii immoo ilkaan’akka jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
You have knowledge that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 Ani garuu isinittin hima. Nama hamaadhaan hin morkatinaa. Yoo namni tokko maddii kee mirgaa si kabale, kaanis itti qabi.
But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned.
40 Yoo namni tokko si himatee kittaa kee sirraa fudhate, kootii kees kenniif.
And if any man goes to law with you and takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe from him.
41 Yoo namni tokko akka ati gara kiiloo meetira tokkoo fi walakkaa isa wajjin deemtu si dirqisiise, ati immoo gara kiiloo meetira sadii isa wajjin deemi.
And whoever makes you go one mile, go with him two.
42 Nama si kadhatuuf kenni; nama sirraa liqeeffachuu barbaaduttis dugda hin garagalchin.
Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.
43 “‘Ollaa kee jaalladhu; diina kee jibbi’ akka jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you:
44 Ani garuu isinittin hima; diinota keessan jaalladhaa; warra isin ariʼataniifis kadhadhaa;
But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you;
45 kanaanis abbaa keessan kan samii irraatiif ijoollee ni taatu. Inni warra hamoo fi warra gaggaariidhaaf aduu isaa ni baasa; qajeeltotaa fi jalʼootaafis bokkaa ni roobsa.
So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.
46 Isin warra isin jaallatan qofa yoo jaallattan gatii maalii argattu? Kana immoo qaraxxoonni iyyuu ni godhu mitii?
For if you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same?
47 Isin yoo obboloota keessan qofa nagaa gaafattan warra kaan caalaa maal hojjechuutti jirtu? Kana immoo ormoonni iyyuu ni godhu mitii?
And if you say, Good day, to your brothers only, what do you do more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same?
48 Akkuma abbaan keessan inni samii irraa mudaa hin qabne sana, isinis warra mudaa hin qabne taʼaa.
Be then complete in righteousness, even as your Father in heaven is complete.
