Mateyo 5
1 Yesu mpwalabona likoto linene lya bantu balikumukonkela, walatanta pa mulundu ne kwikala panshi pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi,
And seeing the multitudes, He went up into the mountain; and having sat down, His disciples came to Him.
2 walatatika kubeyisha kambeti,
And having opened His mouth He taught them, saying;
3 “Bakute colwe abo bacinka manungo pali Lesa, pakwinga Bwami bwa kwilu ni bwabo.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
4 bakute colwe, bantu balalilinga, pakwinga Lesa nakabaumbulushe.
Blessed are the meek, because they shall inherit the earth.
5 bakute colwe, bantu balicepesha, pakwinga nibakatambule ico Lesa ncalabalaya.
Blessed are they that mourn: because they shall be comforted.
6 bakute colwe, bantu balanyumfunga nsala ne nyotwa ya kwinsa cilayandanga Lesa, pakwinga nibakekutishiwe.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: because they shall be filled.
7 bakute colwe bantu bakute nkumbo kubanabo, pakwinga Lesa nakabanyumfwile nkumbo.
Blessed are the merciful: because they shall receive mercy.
8 bakute colwe, bantu baswepa myoyo, pakwinga nibakabone Lesa.
Blessed are the pure in heart: because they shall see God.
9 bakute colwe bantu balaletenga lumuno, pakwinga nibakakwiweti bana ba Lesa.
Blessed are the peacemakers: because they shall be called the sons of God.
10 Bakute colwe bantu balapenshewanga, pacebo cakwinsa calulama, pakwinga Bwami bwa kwilu nibwabo.
Blessed are they, who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
11 “Mwalelekwa, omulatukanwanga, kupenshewa, ne kumubepesha bintu bingi bbyaipa pacebo cakwambeti munkonkelenga.
Blessed are ye when they may despise you, and shall persecute you, and may say all evil against you, falsifying, for my sake.
12 Kamusamwani, kayi kamukondwani, pakwinga cilambo cenu kwilu nicinene. Naboyo bashinshimi, amwe kamutana musemwa, balabapenshewa munshila yopeleyo.”
Rejoice, and he exceedingly glad: because your reward is great in the heavens: for in this manner they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 “Amwe mulyeti mucele wa bantu bonse pacishi capanshi, nomba na mucele usambuluka, nicani celela kubweshulula mbuli ncowanga? Ulabulu ncito, nikutayowa pansa kaulyataulwa ne bantu.
Ye are the salt of the earth; and if the salt may lose its savor, in what shall it be salted? It is yet without value, except having been cast out, to be trodden under feet by the people.
14 “Amwe mulyeti mumuni wishikumunikila bantu bonse mucishi. Munshi webakwa pa mulundu nkawelela kubula kubonekela.
Ye are the light of the world. A city sitting on a mountain is unable to be hidden.
15 Paliya muntu ukute kubangilisha lampi nekwifwekelela munongo, nsombi bakute kubika pacakubikapo lampi, kwambeti umunikile bantu bonse bali mung'andomo,
Neither do they light a candle, and place it under a bushel, but on the candlestick; and it shineth to all who are in the house.
16 Cimo cimo nenjamwe munikani pamenso abantu, kwambeti babona ncito shenu shaina, bakatembaule Bameshenu ba kwilu.
Let your light so shine before the people, in order that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
17 “Kamutayeyeti ndesakupwisha Milawo ya Mose, ne biyisho bya bashinshimi. Ame ndiyakwisa kwipwisha sobwe, nsombi kwisa kwikwanilisha.
Think not that I came to destroy the law of the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti kwilu necishi capanshi kabitanabipwa, paliya libala nilikaba ling'aneconi lya Mulawo lyeshi likafumemo, mpaka byonse bikakwanilishiwe.
For truly I say unto you, Until heaven and earth may pass away, one jot or tittle can not pass from the law, until all things may be accomplished.
19 Neco muntu labulunga kukonka mulawo umo uli mumilawo iyi, nambi kauli ung'aneconi, ne kwiyishako nabambi kwambeti naboyo babule kukonka, nakabe mung'ana mu Bwami bwa kwilu. Nomba muntu uliyense lakonkonga Milawo, ne kwiyishako nabambi kwambeti naboyo baikonke, nakabe mukulene mu Bwami bwa kwilu.
Therefore if any one may break one of the least of these commandments, and so teach the people, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of the heavens: but whosoever may do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
20 Encondamwambililingeti, na bululami bwenu nkabwapita bululami bwa beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose ne Bafalisi, nteti mukengilemo mu Bwami bwa kwilu pimbi.
For I say unto you, that if your righteousness may not abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you can not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
21 “Mwalanyumfwa kwambeti, kaindi bantu balambilweti ‘Kotashina, uliyense lashini munendi welela komboloshewa ku nkuta.’
You have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not murder; and whosoever may murder shall be in danger of the judgment;
22 Nsombi lino ame ndamwambilingeti, muntu uliyense lakalalilinga mukwabo welela kupewa mulandu ku nkuta, Uliyense lambilinga munendi eti, ‘Omuluya’ Welela komboloshewa ku Nkuta. Nomba uliyense lambilinga munendi eti, ‘Cishilu’ Nendi welela kuyamu mulilo wa Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
but I say unto you that every one being angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever may say to his brother, Thou scoundrel, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever may say, Thou fool, shall be liable unto a hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Neco na ulesa necipo cakobe cakubenga kuli Lesa pa nteme, kayi wanuka kwambeti, munobe ukute mulandu nenjobe,
Therefore if you may bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,
24 koshiya cipo cakobeco pambali pa nteme, koya unyumfwane mulumuno ne munobe, wenseco bwela ubenge cipo cakobe kuli Lesa panteme.
leave there your gift before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, then having come offer your gift.
25 “Kamufwambananga kunyumfwana ne muntu ngolepishili kamutana mushika ku nkuta. Kutineti ingaukutwala ku momboloshi, nendi momboloshi, ingaukubika mu makasa a mushilikali uyo welela kukuwala mu jele.
Be reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; lest the adversary may deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you may be cast into prison.
26 Cakubinga ndakwambilishinga, nukekale mujele mpaka ukapwishe kulipila mwelo wamali a mulandu.”
Truly I say unto you, You can not go out from thence until you have paid the last farthing.
27 “Mwalanyumfwa kwambeti kaindi bantu balambilweti, ‘Kotapombola.’
You have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.
28 Nomba lino ame ndamwambilingeti muntu uliyense lamulangishishinga mutukashi cakumukumbwa, lamupombolo kendi mumoyo wakendi.
But I say unto you that every one looking on a woman in order to lust after her hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Na linso lyakobe lilakwipishinga, ulikolobolemo ulitaye. Caina kutayako lubasu lumo lwa mubili wakobe, kupita kuba ne mubili wakwana ne kuwalwa mu Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not that thy whole body may go away into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Kayi kaindi balambilweti, ‘Na muntu uleka mukashendi, amulembele ne kumupa cipepala cabushike.’
And it was said, Whosoever may send away his wife, let him give her a divorcement.
32 Nomba ame lino ndamwambilingeti, uliyense lalekenga mukashendi pacebo cimbi cabula kuba cabupombo, uyo mukashi ebwa kumutuloba naumbi lenshi bupombo, nendi mutuloba uyo lamwebe ukute mulandu wabupombo.
But I say unto you, that every one sending away his wife, except on account of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever may marry her who has been cast off commits adultery.
33 “Kayi mwalamfweti, kaindi bantu balambilweti, ‘Kotaumbila cabwepeshi, nsombi cinse ncowalalumbila kuli Lesa.’
Again you have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shall perform unto the Lord thine oaths.
34 Nomba ame ndamwambilingeti, lekani kulumbila sobwe. Kamutalumbilangeti, kwilu kwine nditu! pakwinga kwilu ekuli cipuna ca Mwami Lesa,
But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God;
35 Kamutalumbilangeti, pacishi capanshi nditu! pakwinga pacishi capanshi epakulyata myendo yakendi Lesa. kayi kamutalumbilangeti ‘Pali Yelusalemu nditu!’ Pakwinga Yelusalemu ni munshi wa Mwami mukulene.
nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of His feet; neither by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.
36 Kamutalumbilangeti, ‘Mutwi wakame nditu,’ Pakwinga nkamwelela kusandula mishishi kuba ituba nambi ishipa.
Neither swear by thy head, because thou art unable to make one hair white or black.
37 Kamwambangoweti, ‘Ee’ Nambi ‘ne.’ Cakusankanyapo pali ibi cilafumunga kuli Waipa usa.”
But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; but that which aboundeth more than these is of the evil one.
38 Mwalanyumfweti kaindi bantu balambilweti, Linso kubenga linso, lino kubenga lino.
You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 Nomba ame lino ndamwambilingeti “Kamutabweshelanga caipa kumuntu lamwipishili sobwe. Na muntu ukuma kulicili lya kululyo, akume kayi kulicili lya kucipiko.
But I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smites thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also:
40 Na muntu ukupa mulandu, ne kukukakatisheti umupe mwinjila wakobe, muleke amantile kumo ne munganjo.
to him wishing to prosecute thee at law, and take away thy coat, let him have the cloak also.
41 Muntu uliyense amukakatisha kwenda nendi mushinso wakilomita imo, wende nendi mushinso wamakilomita abili.
Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him two.
42 Muntu amusenga cintu mupeni. Kayi muntu ayandanga kubweleka cintu kulinjobe kotamukanina.”
Give to the one asking thee, and do not turn away from the one wishing to borrow from thee.
43 Mwalanyumfweti kaindi bantu balambilweti, Kosuna munobe, mupele mulwani wakobe.
You have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy.
44 Nomba ame lino ndamwambilingeti, basuneni balwani benu ne kubapaililako kuli Lesa abo balamupenshenga.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies with a divine love, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you:
45 Mwenseco, emposhimubele limo bana ba Bameshenu balikwilu, bakute kuleta lumwi pa bantu baipa ne baina. Kayi bakute kulokela mfula pa bantu baina ne baipa.
in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
46 Na kamusunakowa bantu bamusuni, ngamutambulapo cilambo cini kuli Lesa? Beshimisonko nabo nte ncobakute kwinsa copeleco?
For if you love those that love you, what reward have ye? because the publicans also do the same.
47 Kayi nakamupa mitende banse benu bonka, mulenshipo cani capita nabambi? Sena bantu batamwinshi Lesa nkabakute kwinsa copeleco?
If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing?
48 Kamubani babula kampenda, mbuli Bameshenu bakwilu ncobabula kampenda.
Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
