Matayu 5
1 Yesu pakagawoniti mapinga ga wantu, kakweniti kulugongu, kalivagiti pasi. Wafundwa wakuwi walivagiti pawamzyengeta,
When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,
2 na Yomberi kanjiti kuwafunda.
and He began to teach them, saying:
3 “Mbaka ya woseri yawawera wahushu wa shirohu, Toziya Ufalumi wa mpindi ndo wawu!
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Mbaka kwa woseri yawawera na hinginiku, Toziya Mlungu hakawazyangizyangi!
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Mbaka kwa woseri yawawera wapoli, Toziya hawayihali isi.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Mbaka kwa woseri yawawera na njala na yimiluwa ya kutenda gakafira Mlungu, Mlungu hakawayukutiziyi!
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Mbaka kwa woseri yawawera na lusungu kwa wamonga, Mlungu hakawawoneri lusungu womberi!
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
8 Mbaka kwa woseri yawamfira Mlungu kwa myoyu yawu yoseri, Womberi hawamwoni Mlungu!
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Mbaka kwa woseri yawajega ponga, Mlungu hakawashemi wana wakuwi!
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10 “Mbaka kwa woseri yawatabika toziya yakutenda gakafira Mlungu, Ufalumi wa kumpindi ndo gwawu!
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Mbaka mwenga wantu pawawigilanga na kuwazulumu na kuwatendera madoda ga ntambu zoseri toziya mwenga munjimila neni.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
12 Mwenga mnemeli na kusekelera toziya mafupu genu ndo makulu kumpindi kwa Mlungu. Hangu ndo ntambu yawalikaliti wambuyi wa makashu wa Mlungu pamberi pa mwenga.
Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.
13 “Mwenga mulifana gambira munu gwa pasipanu. Kumbiti munu pagwasa unoga wakuwi, kwahera njira yingi yakugutenda gunogi kayi. Hapeni gufayi, su hawagwasi kunja na wantu hawagutimbangi.
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
14 “Mwenga ndo langala ya pasipanu! Lushi lwa walunyawiti mulugongu hapeni lulififi.
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 “Kwahera wantu yawawasha shikoloboyi na kushigubikira na shiwiga, badala yakuwi hakashituli pampindi pa shintambi, su kulangala kwakuwi kulangali kwa kila muntu mnumba.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
16 Ntambu ira ayi, langala ya mwenga ilangali mpaka kulongolu kwa wantu, su wagaloli matendu genu gaherepa, wamkwisi Tati gwenu yakawera kumpindi.
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
17 “Namulihola handa niza kuwusiya Lilagaliru lya Musa na mafundu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu. Niza ndiri kugawusiya Malagaliru, kumbiti kutenda mafundu gawu gatendeki.
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
18 Nukugambirani nakaka, kumpindi na pasipanu pazipelera, kumbiti hapeni ata shisoweru shididini ama seemu ndidini yavilembitwi Mumalagaliru yiwusiwi, su mpaka mafundu goseri gatendeki.
For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
19 Su yoseri yakamegi ata lilagaliru limu lididini na kuwafunda wamonga watendi viraa, ayu hakaweri mdidini muufalumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu. Kumbiti ulii yakabatira malagaliru na kuwafunda wamonga kutenda viraa, muntu ayu hakaweri mkulu muufalumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Toziya nukugambirani, handa kumfiriziya Mlungu kwamwenga pakakanka ndiri ulii wa Mafalisayu na wafunda wa Malagaliru, hapeni mwingiri nakamu muufalumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
21 “Mpikaniriti ntambu ya wantu wagona wawagambiriti, ‘Nagulaga! Na yoseri yakalaga hawamtozi.’
You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’
22 Kumbiti vinu neni nukugambirani, yoseri yakawera na maya kwa mlongu gwakuwi hawamtozi, yakamzarawu mlongu gwakuwi hawamjegi mumahakama. Na yakamshema mlongu gwakuwi, ‘Mzigizigi’ hakaweri muhatari ya kwingira mumotu gwa Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 Su pagulaviya mafupu gaku pashitalawanda sha kutambikira na gulihola gwana ungondu na mlongu gwaku,
So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,
24 guleki mafupu gaku pashitalawanda sha kutambikira, guwuyi huti gwakatendi ponga na mlongu gwaku, su gwizi na gulaviyi mafupu gaku kwa Mlungu.
leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
25 “Gupatani na mstaki gwaku kanongola pamuwera mwankali munjira kugenda kumahakama. Pagutenda ndiri hangu, mstaki gwaku hakakujegi kwa mtoza, nayomberi hakakujegi kwa wanjagila wakutatili mushibetubetu.
Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.
26 Nakaka nukugambira, hapeni gulawi mulii mpaka gulipi ligwala lya kumalalira.
Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
27 “Mpikanira handa wantu wawagambiriti, ‘Nagutenda uhumba!’
You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
28 Su vinu neni nukugambirani, yoseri yakamlola mdala kwa kufira kutenda nayu undiyandiya, muntu ayu katenda kala uhumba mumoyu mwakuwi.
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Su, lisu lyaku lya kumliwu palitenda gutendi vidoda, gulikolopoli na kuliyasa kutali! Mbaka nentu kwasa shiwungu shimu sha nshimba yaku, kuliku nshimba yaku yoseri wayasi mumotu gwa Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Handa liwoku lyaku lya kumliwu litenda gutendi vidoda, gulidumuli na kulyasa kutali! Mbaka nentu gwenga kwasa shiwungu shimu munshimba yaku, kuliku nshimba yaku yoseri kwingira mumotu gwa Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Itakulitwi kala viraa, ‘Yakamleka mdala gwakuwi ifiruwa kampanani malembu ga kumleka.’
It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
32 Kumbiti neni nukugambirani, yakamupanana mdala gwakuwi malembu ga kumleka, tembera ndiri kwa shitwatira, kamtenda kaweri mndiyandiya, na muntu pakamyuga mdala yawampananiti malembu ga kumleka, katenda uhumba.”
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
33 “Kayi mpikanira handa wantu wagona wawagambiriti, ‘Naguleka kulirapa kwaku, kumbiti gutendi ntambu yagulirapa kwa Mtuwa.’
Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’
34 Kumbiti neni nukugambirani, nagulirapira kwa ntambu yoseri ilii. Nagulirapira kwa kumpindi, toziya ndo shibanta sha ufalumi sha Mlungu,
But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;
35 ama mupasipanu, mana ndo shiti shakuwi sha kutulila magulu, ama kwa Yerusalemu toziya ndo lushi lwa Mfalumi mkulu.
or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Nagulirapira ata kwa mtuwi gwaku, toziya hapeni guwezi kutenda ata vilii yimu iweri neru ama ntiti.
Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.
37 Pagutakula ‘Yina’ su iweri ‘Yina’, pagutakula ‘Ndala’ su iweri ‘Ndala’. Shoseri shilii shagutakula kunja na ashi shilawa kwa ulii Shetani.
Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.
38 “Mpikaniriti ntambu yawatakulaga, ‘Lisu kwa lisu na linu kwa linu.’
You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’
39 Kumbiti neni nukugambirani, namumwuzilira muntu mdoda. Muntu pakakukoma lisaya lya kumliwu gumleki kakukomi viraa na lya kumshigi.
But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;
40 Muntu pakakujegera kumahakama kafira kalitoli lishati lyaku, gumlekeri viraa na likoti lyaku.
if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;
41 Na muntu pakakulazimisha kupapa shisanka shakuwi kilumita yimu, gushipapi kilumita mbili.
and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
42 Muntu yakakuluwa gumpanani, nagumpanana shisogu muntu yakafira kukuwanda shintu.
Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
43 “Mpikanira ntambu yawatakuliti, ‘Guwafiri waganja waku na guwakalaliri wang'ondu waku.’
You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’
44 Kumbiti neni nukugambirani, muwafiri wang'ondu wenu na muwaluwili kwa Mlungu walii yawakuzulumani,
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 su hamuweri wana wa Tati gwenu kakumpindi. Yomberi kawawalira mshenji wantu wadoda na wantu waheri na kawatowera viraa wantu woseri yawamfiriziya Mlungu na wantu yawamfiriziya ndiri Mlungu.
that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 Hashi, Mlungu hakakupanani mafupu ga ntambu gaa pamuwafira hera walii yawawafira mwenga? Ata watola kodi watenda viraa!
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?
47 Handa pamuwalamusiya hera walongu wenu, hashi, mtenda shitwatira sha hera hangu ndiri? Ata wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu watenda viraa!
And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?
48 Muweri waheri ntambu yakawera muheri Tati gwenu kakumpindi!
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
