Maatewos 5
1 Yesuus yommuu namoota baayʼee argetti, tulluutti ol baʼee taaʼe. Barattoonni isaas gara isaa dhufan;
And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 innis isaan barsiisuu jalqabe. Akkanas jedhe:
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 “Warri hafuuraan hiyyeeyyii taʼan eebbifamoo dha; mootummaan samii kan isaaniitii.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Warri gaddan eebbifamoo dha; jajjabina ni argatuutii.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Warri garraamiin eebbifamoo dha; lafa ni dhaaluutii.
Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Warri qajeelummaa beelaʼanii fi dheebotan eebbifamoo dha; isaan ni quufuutii.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Araara qabeeyyiin eebbifamoo dha; araara ni argatuutii.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 Warri garaan isaanii qulqulluu eebbifamoo dha; Waaqa ni arguutii.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Warri nagaa buusan eebbifamoo dha; ijoollee Waaqaa ni jedhamuutii.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
10 Warri qajeelummaadhaaf jedhanii ariʼataman eebbifamoo dha; mootummaan samii kan isaaniitii.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Yommuu namoonni sababii kootiif jedhanii isin arrabsan, yommuu isin ariʼatanii fi yommuu waan hamaa gosa hundaa sobaan isin irratti dubbatan isin eebbifamoo dha.
"Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Sababii gatiin keessan samii keessatti guddaa taʼeef ililchaa; gammadaas; isaan raajota isin dura turanis haaluma kanaan ariʼataniiruutii.
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 “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 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 “Isin ifa addunyaa ti. Magaalaan gaara gubbaa jiru tokko dhokachuu hin dandaʼu.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Yookaan namoonni ibsaa qabsiisanii gombisaa jala hin kaaʼan. Qooda kanaa baattuu isaa irra kaaʼu; ibsaan sunis namoota mana keessa jiran hundaaf ifa kenna.
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 Akka namoonni hojii keessan isa gaarii arganii abbaa keessan kan samii irraatiif ulfina kennaniif ifni keessanis akkasuma fuula namootaa duratti haa ifu.
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 “Isin waan ani Seera yookaan Raajota diiguu dhufe hin seʼinaa; ani isaan raawwachuuf malee diiguuf hin dhufne.
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
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.
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 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.
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 Ani isinittin hima; qajeelummaan keessan qajeelummaa Fariisotaatii fi qajeelummaa barsiistota seeraa yoo caaluu baate isin dhugumaan mootummaa samiitti hin galtan.
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 “Isin akka bara dheeraan dura namootaan, ‘Hin ajjeesin; nama ajjeese kamitti iyyuu ni muramaa’jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
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 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 “Kanaafuu ati yeroo kennaa kee iddoo aarsaatti dhiʼeessitutti yoo akka obboleessi kee komii sirraa qabu yaadatte,
"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 kennaa kee achuma iddoo aarsaa duratti dhiisii dhaqiitii duraan dursii obboleessa keetti araarami; ergasii kottuutii kennaa kee dhiʼeessi.
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 “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.
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 Ani dhuguman sitti hima; ati hamma saantima ishee dhumaa baaftutti achii hin baatu.
Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 “Isin akka, ‘Hin ejjin’jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
28 Ani garuu isinittin hima; namni hawwiidhaan dubartii ilaalu hundinuu yaada isaatti ishee wajjin ejjeera.
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 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 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 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 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 “Namni niitii isaa hiiku kam iyyuu, ‘Waraqaa ragaa hiikkaa haa kennuuf’jedhameera.
"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
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 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 “Ammas akka warra duriitiin, ‘Waan kakatte Gooftaadhaaf guuti malee sobaan hin kakatin’jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
"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 Ani garuu isinittin hima; gonkumaa hin kakatinaa: samiidhaan hin kakatinaa; inni teessoo Waaqaatii;
But I tell you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 yookaan lafaan hin kakatinaa; isheen ejjeta miilla isaatii; yookaan Yerusaalemiin hin kakatinaa; isheen magaalaa Mooticha Guddaatii.
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 Mataa keetiinis hin kakatin; ati rifeensa tokko illee addeessuu yookaan gurraachesuu hin dandeessuutii.
Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot 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 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 “‘Qooda ijaa, ija; qooda ilkaanii immoo ilkaan’akka jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
"You have heard 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 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 Yoo namni tokko si himatee kittaa kee sirraa fudhate, kootii kees kenniif.
And if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
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 compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Nama si kadhatuuf kenni; nama sirraa liqeeffachuu barbaaduttis dugda hin garagalchin.
Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 “‘Ollaa kee jaalladhu; diina kee jibbi’ akka jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
44 Ani garuu isinittin hima; diinota keessan jaalladhaa; warra isin ariʼataniifis kadhadhaa;
But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute 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.
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 Isin warra isin jaallatan qofa yoo jaallattan gatii maalii argattu? Kana immoo qaraxxoonni iyyuu ni godhu mitii?
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do 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 only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
48 Akkuma abbaan keessan inni samii irraa mudaa hin qabne sana, isinis warra mudaa hin qabne taʼaa.
You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
