Maatewos 5
1 Yesuus yommuu namoota baayʼee argetti, tulluutti ol baʼee taaʼe. Barattoonni isaas gara isaa dhufan;
But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, —and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;
2 innis isaan barsiisuu jalqabe. Akkanas jedhe:
and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: —
3 “Warri hafuuraan hiyyeeyyii taʼan eebbifamoo dha; mootummaan samii kan isaaniitii.
Happy, the destitute, in spirit; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens;
4 Warri gaddan eebbifamoo dha; jajjabina ni argatuutii.
Happy, they who mourn; for, they, shall be comforted:
5 Warri garraamiin eebbifamoo dha; lafa ni dhaaluutii.
Happy, the meek; for, they, shall inherit the earth:
6 Warri qajeelummaa beelaʼanii fi dheebotan eebbifamoo dha; isaan ni quufuutii.
Happy, they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for, they, shall be filled:
7 Araara qabeeyyiin eebbifamoo dha; araara ni argatuutii.
Happy, the merciful; for, they, shall receive mercy:
8 Warri garaan isaanii qulqulluu eebbifamoo dha; Waaqa ni arguutii.
Happy, the pure, in heart; for, they, shall, see God:
9 Warri nagaa buusan eebbifamoo dha; ijoollee Waaqaa ni jedhamuutii.
Happy, the peacemakers; for, they, shall be, called sons of God:
10 Warri qajeelummaadhaaf jedhanii ariʼataman eebbifamoo dha; mootummaan samii kan isaaniitii.
Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
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 ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing 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 exult, because, your reward, is great in the heavens; for, so, persecuted they 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.
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 “Isin ifa addunyaa ti. Magaalaan gaara gubbaa jiru tokko dhokachuu hin dandaʼu.
Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
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 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 Akka namoonni hojii keessan isa gaarii arganii abbaa keessan kan samii irraatiif ulfina kennaniif ifni keessanis akkasuma fuula namootaa duratti haa ifu.
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 “Isin waan ani Seera yookaan Raajota diiguu dhufe hin seʼinaa; ani isaan raawwachuuf malee diiguuf hin dhufne.
Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, —I came not to pull down, but to fulfil.
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, 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 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.
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 Ani isinittin hima; qajeelummaan keessan qajeelummaa Fariisotaatii fi qajeelummaa barsiistota seeraa yoo caaluu baate isin dhugumaan mootummaa samiitti hin galtan.
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 “Isin akka bara dheeraan dura namootaan, ‘Hin ajjeesin; nama ajjeese kamitti iyyuu ni muramaa’jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
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 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 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 “Kanaafuu ati yeroo kennaa kee iddoo aarsaatti dhiʼeessitutti yoo akka obboleessi kee komii sirraa qabu yaadatte,
If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
24 kennaa kee achuma iddoo aarsaa duratti dhiisii dhaqiitii duraan dursii obboleessa keetti araarami; ergasii kottuutii kennaa kee dhiʼeessi.
leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw, —first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy 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.
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 Ani dhuguman sitti hima; ati hamma saantima ishee dhumaa baaftutti achii hin baatu.
Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
27 “Isin akka, ‘Hin ejjin’jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 Ani garuu isinittin hima; namni hawwiidhaan dubartii ilaalu hundinuu yaada isaatti ishee wajjin ejjeera.
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 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, 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 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, 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 “Namni niitii isaa hiiku kam iyyuu, ‘Waraqaa ragaa hiikkaa haa kennuuf’jedhameera.
It was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
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 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 “Ammas akka warra duriitiin, ‘Waan kakatte Gooftaadhaaf guuti malee sobaan hin kakatin’jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
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 Ani garuu isinittin hima; gonkumaa hin kakatinaa: samiidhaan hin kakatinaa; inni teessoo Waaqaatii;
But, I, tell you—not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because 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, because it is his, footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because, it is the, city, of the Great King;
36 Mataa keetiinis hin kakatin; ati rifeensa tokko illee addeessuu yookaan gurraachesuu hin dandeessuutii.
Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art 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 word be, Yea, yea, —Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.
38 “‘Qooda ijaa, ija; qooda ilkaanii immoo ilkaan’akka jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
Ye have heard, that it was said, —Eye for eye, and tooth for 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, not to resist evil, —Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;
40 Yoo namni tokko si himatee kittaa kee sirraa fudhate, kootii kees kenniif.
And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle 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 shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
42 Nama si kadhatuuf kenni; nama sirraa liqeeffachuu barbaaduttis dugda hin garagalchin.
To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
43 “‘Ollaa kee jaalladhu; diina kee jibbi’ akka jedhame dhageessaniirtu.
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 Ani garuu isinittin hima; diinota keessan jaalladhaa; warra isin ariʼataniifis kadhadhaa;
But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting 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 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 Isin warra isin jaallatan qofa yoo jaallattan gatii maalii argattu? Kana immoo qaraxxoonni iyyuu ni godhu mitii?
For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?
47 Isin yoo obboloota keessan qofa nagaa gaafattan warra kaan caalaa maal hojjechuutti jirtu? Kana immoo ormoonni iyyuu ni godhu mitii?
And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
48 Akkuma abbaan keessan inni samii irraa mudaa hin qabne sana, isinis warra mudaa hin qabne taʼaa.
Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is perfect.
