Matayu 5
1 Yesu pakagawoniti mapinga ga wantu, kakweniti kulugongu, kalivagiti pasi. Wafundwa wakuwi walivagiti pawamzyengeta,
And having seen the multitudes, he went up to the mount, and he having sat down, his disciples came to him,
2 na Yomberi kanjiti kuwafunda.
and having opened his mouth, he was teaching them, saying:
3 “Mbaka ya woseri yawawera wahushu wa shirohu, Toziya Ufalumi wa mpindi ndo wawu!
'Happy the poor in spirit — because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
4 Mbaka kwa woseri yawawera na hinginiku, Toziya Mlungu hakawazyangizyangi!
'Happy the mourning — because they shall be comforted.
5 Mbaka kwa woseri yawawera wapoli, Toziya hawayihali isi.
'Happy the meek — because they shall inherit the land.
6 Mbaka kwa woseri yawawera na njala na yimiluwa ya kutenda gakafira Mlungu, Mlungu hakawayukutiziyi!
'Happy those hungering and thirsting for righteousness — because they shall be filled.
7 Mbaka kwa woseri yawawera na lusungu kwa wamonga, Mlungu hakawawoneri lusungu womberi!
'Happy the kind — because they shall find kindness.
8 Mbaka kwa woseri yawamfira Mlungu kwa myoyu yawu yoseri, Womberi hawamwoni Mlungu!
'Happy the clean in heart — because they shall see God.
9 Mbaka kwa woseri yawajega ponga, Mlungu hakawashemi wana wakuwi!
'Happy the peacemakers — because they shall be called Sons of God.
10 “Mbaka kwa woseri yawatabika toziya yakutenda gakafira Mlungu, Ufalumi wa kumpindi ndo gwawu!
'Happy those persecuted for righteousness' sake — because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
11 “Mbaka mwenga wantu pawawigilanga na kuwazulumu na kuwatendera madoda ga ntambu zoseri toziya mwenga munjimila neni.
'Happy are ye whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for my sake —
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 ye and be glad, because your reward [is] great in the heavens, for thus did they persecute the prophets who were 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.
'Ye are the salt of the land, but if the salt may lose savour, in what shall it be salted? for nothing is it good henceforth, except to be cast without, and to be trodden down by men.
14 “Mwenga ndo langala ya pasipanu! Lushi lwa walunyawiti mulugongu hapeni lulififi.
'Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is not able to be hid;
15 “Kwahera wantu yawawasha shikoloboyi na kushigubikira na shiwiga, badala yakuwi hakashituli pampindi pa shintambi, su kulangala kwakuwi kulangali kwa kila muntu mnumba.
nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those 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.
so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who [is] in the heavens.
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 suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets — I did not come to throw down, but to fulfil;
18 Nukugambirani nakaka, kumpindi na pasipanu pazipelera, kumbiti hapeni ata shisoweru shididini ama seemu ndidini yavilembitwi Mumalagaliru yiwusiwi, su mpaka mafundu goseri gatendeki.
for, verily I say to you, till that the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the law, till that all may come to pass.
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.
'Whoever therefore may loose one of these commands — the least — and may teach men so, least he shall be called in the reign of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach [them], he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.
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 say to you, that if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye may not enter to the reign of the heavens.
21 “Mpikaniriti ntambu ya wantu wagona wawagambiriti, ‘Nagulaga! Na yoseri yakalaga hawamtozi.’
'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill, and whoever may kill shall be in danger of the 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 — I say to you, that every one who is angry at his brother without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Empty fellow! shall be in danger of the sanhedrim, and whoever may say, Rebel! shall be in danger of the gehenna of the fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Su pagulaviya mafupu gaku pashitalawanda sha kutambikira na gulihola gwana ungondu na mlongu gwaku,
'If, therefore, thou mayest bring thy gift to the altar, and there mayest remember that thy brother hath anything against thee,
24 guleki mafupu gaku pashitalawanda sha kutambikira, guwuyi huti gwakatendi ponga na mlongu gwaku, su gwizi na gulaviyi mafupu gaku kwa Mlungu.
leave there thy gift before the altar, and go — first be reconciled to thy brother, and then having come bring thy 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.
'Be agreeing with thy opponent quickly, while thou art in the way with him, that the opponent may not deliver thee to the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and to prison thou mayest be cast,
26 Nakaka nukugambira, hapeni gulawi mulii mpaka gulipi ligwala lya kumalalira.
verily I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till that thou mayest pay the last farthing.
27 “Mpikanira handa wantu wawagambiriti, ‘Nagutenda uhumba!’
'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt 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 — I say to you, that every one who is looking on a woman to desire her, did already commit 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)
'But, if thy right eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. (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 thy right hand doth cause thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Itakulitwi kala viraa, ‘Yakamleka mdala gwakuwi ifiruwa kampanani malembu ga kumleka.’
'And it was said, That whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing 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 — I say to you, that whoever may put away his wife, save for the matter of whoredom, doth make her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who hath been put away doth commit adultery.
33 “Kayi mpikanira handa wantu wagona wawagambiriti, ‘Naguleka kulirapa kwaku, kumbiti gutendi ntambu yagulirapa kwa Mtuwa.’
'Again, ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not swear falsely, but thou shalt pay to the Lord thine oaths;
34 Kumbiti neni nukugambirani, nagulirapira kwa ntambu yoseri ilii. Nagulirapira kwa kumpindi, toziya ndo shibanta sha ufalumi sha Mlungu,
but I — I say to you, not to swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is the throne of God,
35 ama mupasipanu, mana ndo shiti shakuwi sha kutulila magulu, ama kwa Yerusalemu toziya ndo lushi lwa Mfalumi mkulu.
nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is a city of a great king,
36 Nagulirapira ata kwa mtuwi gwaku, toziya hapeni guwezi kutenda ata vilii yimu iweri neru ama ntiti.
nor by thy head mayest thou swear, because thou art not able one hair to make white or black;
37 Pagutakula ‘Yina’ su iweri ‘Yina’, pagutakula ‘Ndala’ su iweri ‘Ndala’. Shoseri shilii shagutakula kunja na ashi shilawa kwa ulii Shetani.
but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil.
38 “Mpikaniriti ntambu yawatakulaga, ‘Lisu kwa lisu na linu kwa linu.’
'Ye 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 — I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;
40 Muntu pakakujegera kumahakama kafira kalitoli lishati lyaku, gumlekeri viraa na likoti lyaku.
and whoever is willing to take thee to law, and thy coat to take — suffer to him also the cloak.
41 Na muntu pakakulazimisha kupapa shisanka shakuwi kilumita yimu, gushipapi kilumita mbili.
'And whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two,
42 Muntu yakakuluwa gumpanani, nagumpanana shisogu muntu yakafira kukuwanda shintu.
to him who is asking of thee be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from thee thou mayest not turn away.
43 “Mpikanira ntambu yawatakuliti, ‘Guwafiri waganja waku na guwakalaliri wang'ondu waku.’
'Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and shalt hate thine enemy;
44 Kumbiti neni nukugambirani, muwafiri wang'ondu wenu na muwaluwili kwa Mlungu walii yawakuzulumani,
but I — I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting 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 ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous.
46 Hashi, Mlungu hakakupanani mafupu ga ntambu gaa pamuwafira hera walii yawawafira mwenga? Ata watola kodi watenda viraa!
'For, if ye may love those loving you, what reward have ye? do not also the tax-gatherers the same?
47 Handa pamuwalamusiya hera walongu wenu, hashi, mtenda shitwatira sha hera hangu ndiri? Ata wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu watenda viraa!
and if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant? do not also the tax-gatherers so?
48 Muweri waheri ntambu yakawera muheri Tati gwenu kakumpindi!
ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.
