Matayos 5
1 Markuu dadkii badnaa arkay ayuu buur fuulay, markaasuu fadhiistay oo xertiisa ayaa u timid.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a hillside. He sat down [in order to teach] his disciples. They came near to him [to listen to him].
2 Kolkaasuu afkiisa kala qaaday oo wax baray, isagoo leh.
Then he began to teach them by saying,
3 Waxaa barakaysan kuwa xagga ruuxa ka masaakiin ah, waayo, boqortooyada jannada iyagaa leh.
[God] is pleased with people who recognize that they have a spiritual [need]; he will allow them to be the people whose lives he rules over.
4 Waxaa barakaysan kuwa baroorta, waayo, waa la qalbiqabowjin doonaa.
[God] is pleased with people who mourn [because they have sinned; ] they will be encouraged {he will encourage them.}
5 Waxaa barakaysan kuwa camal qabow, waayo, dhulkay dhaxli doonaan.
[God] is pleased with people who are meek; they will inherit the earth [that God will recreate].
6 Waxaa barakaysan kuwa xaqnimada u gaajaysan oo u harraadsan, waayo, way dhergi doonaan.
[God] is pleased with people who sincerely [desire to live] righteously [just like they] desire to eat and drink [MET]; they will be enabled {he will enable them} to do all that he desires [MET].
7 Waxaa barakaysan kuwa naxariista leh, waayo, waa loo naxariisan doonaa.
[God] is pleased with people who act mercifully; he will act mercifully to them.
8 Waxaa barakaysan kuwa qalbiga ka daahirsan, waayo, Ilaah bay arki doonaan.
[God] is pleased with people who think only about that which pleases him; [some day] they will [be where] God is and will see him.
9 Waxaa barakaysan kuwa nabadda ka shaqeeyaa, waayo, waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa wiilashii Ilaah.
[God] is pleased with people who help other people to live peacefully; they will be considered to be {he will consider that they are} his children [MET].
10 Waxaa barakaysan kuwa xaqnimada aawadeed loo silciyo, waayo, boqortooyada jannada iyagaa leh.
[God is pleased with] people to whom evil things are done {to whom [other people] do evil things} because they [conducted themselves] righteously; he will allow them to be where he rules over people.
11 Waad barakaysan tihiin goortii laydin caayo, oo laydin silciyo, oo wax walba oo xun oo been ah laydinka sheego aawaday.
[God is pleased with] you when [other] people insult you, when [other people] do evil things to you and when [other people] say falsely [that] you are evil because [you believe in] me.
12 Farxa oo reyreeya, waayo, jannada abaalgudkiinnu waa ku weyn yahay, waayo, sidaasay u silcin jireen nebiyadii idinka horreeyey.
[When that happens], rejoice and be glad [DOU], because [God will give] you a great reward in heaven. [God will think highly of you], just like [he thought highly of] the prophets whom your [ancestors persecuted] long ago.
13 Idinku waxaad tihiin cusbadii dhulka, laakiin haddii cusbadu dhadhan beesho, maxaa lagu cusbaynayaa? Dabadeed waxba tari mayso in dibadda loo tuuro oo dadku ku tunto maahee.
“You are [able to influence] evil [people] [MTY] [and improve the way they live in order that they do not become more evil, just like] salt [is able to improve the flavor of food and to preserve it] [MET] [from spoiling]. Salt that no longer tastes salty cannot become salty again [RHQ]. As a result, that salt becomes useless. It is rejected by people, thrown on the ground, and walked on {People reject it, throw it on the ground and walk on it} [MET]. [Similarly, if the way you live no longer influences people to live in a godly manner, God will reject you].
14 Idinku waxaad tihiin iftiinkii dunida. Magaalo buur ku taallu ma qarsoomi karto.
You [enable] evil [people] [MTY] [to perceive God’s truth as] a light [enables people to perceive what is around them. Just like] everyone can see [LIT] [the lights of] a city on a hill [MET], [other people can see what you do].
15 Ilays looma shido in la hoos geliyo weel, laakiin waxaa la saaraa meeshii ilayska, oo wuu u iftiimaa kuwa guriga ku jira oo dhan.
After people light a lamp, they never put it under a basket. Instead, [they put it] on a lampstand in their houses in order that it can shine on everyone there.
16 Sidaas oo kale iftiinkiinnu dadka hortiisa ha iftiimo, si ay shuqulladiinna wanaagsan u arkaan, oo ay Aabbihiinna jannada ku jira u ammaanaan.
[Similarly], you need to do [what is right] [MET] in such a manner that other people can see the good deeds that you do, and as a result they will praise your Father [who is] in heaven.”
17 Ha u malaynina inaan u imid inaan sharciga ama qorniintii nebiyada baabbi'iyo; uma aan iman inaan baabbi'iyo, laakiin waxaan u imid inaan wada oofiyo
“I came to earth, not to annul the laws [that God gave Moses] or [what] the prophets [MTY] [wrote]. Instead, I [came] to cause to happen [what the authors of those books predicted would happen]. So do not think any longer that I have come [to earth] in order that I might annul [what they wrote].
18 Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Intaan cirka iyo dhulku idlaan, xaraf ama dhibic keliya ka idlaan mayso sharciga ilaa ay wada noqdaan.
Keep this in mind: [Every] point of those laws, [including those points that seem] least important, and even the smallest details of the laws [MTY] will surely be in effect [HYP, LIT] until the heavens and the earth disappear and until all [that God told their authors to write] happens.
19 Sidaa darteed kii jebiya qaynuunnadan kuwa ugu yar midkood, oo sidaas dadka u bara, waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa kan uga yar boqortooyadii jannada, laakiin kii yeela oo bara, waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa kan weyn boqortooyadii jannada.
Since [all God’s laws are important], if anyone disobeys any of those commandments, [even if it would be] one of the least [important ones], and if that person teaches people [to disobey any of those commandments], it will be said {[God] will say} that that person is the least [important] of those in the place where [EUP] God rules. But those who obey [those commandments] and teach [other people to obey them, it will be said] {[God] will say} that they are very important among those that God rules.
20 Waayo, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Xaqnimadiinnu haddaanay ka badnaan tan culimmada iyo Farrisiinta, geliba maysaan boqortooyadii jannada.
Keep this in mind: [You assume that] the Pharisees and the men who teach our laws [faithfully obey] what God commands. But if you do not obey those laws better than they obey them, you will by no means enter the place where God rules.”
21 Waad maqasheen in kuwii hore lagu yidhi, Waa inaanad dhiig qabin; kii dhiig qabaa wuxuu galabsadaa xukunka.
“You have heard [your religious teachers say] that it was said {that [Moses] said} to your ancestors, ‘Do not murder [anyone.’ This implied that] if someone murders [another person], the judge will condemn that person [and] sentence him to be [executed] {[say that someone must execute him]}.
22 Laakiin waxaan idinku leeyahay, Mid walba oo walaalkiis u cadhoodaa wuxuu galabsadaa xukunka, oo kii walaalkiis ku yidhaahda, Nacas yahow, wuxuu galabsadaa in shirka la geeyo, oo kii yidhaahda, Doqon yahow, wuxuu galabsadaa jahannamada dabka ah. (Geenna g1067)
But what I say to you is this: [If you are] angry with someone, [God] will judge you. If you say to someone, ‘[You are worthless],’ the Jewish Council will judge you. If you [hate someone], and say to them 'You fool!' you. yourself, will be in danger of being thrown into the fires in hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 Haddaba haddaad hadiyaddaada meesha allabariga keento, oo meeshaas aad ku xusuusatid in walaalkaa wax kuu haysto,
So, when you take your gift [for God] to the altar, if you remember that you have offended someone,
24 hadiyaddaada ku dhaaf meeshii allabariga horteeda, tag, oo horta walaalkaa la soo heshii, dabadeed kaalay oo hadiyaddaada bixi.
leave your gift by the altar, and first go [to the person you have offended]. Tell that person that you are sorry for what you have done, and ask that person to forgive you. Then go back and offer your gift [to God].
25 Dhaqso cadowgaaga ula heshii intaad jidka kula socoto, si aan cadowgu xaakinka kuugu dhiibin, xaakinkuna askariga kuugu dhiibin, oo xabsi lagugu tuurin.
[Also], when a fellow citizen [takes you to court in order to] accuse you, settle accounts with that person quickly while you are walking with that person [to court]. Do that [while there still is time to do so] in order that he will not take you to the judge, [because if] the judge [favors the person who is accusing you, he will declare that you are guilty and send you] to the prison guard, and the prison guard will put you in prison.
26 Runtii waxaan kugu leeyahay, Halkaas ka soo bixi maysid ilaa aad siisid beesadda ugu dambaysa.
Keep this in mind: [If you go to prison], you will never get out [because you will never be able to] pay all that the judge says that you owe [MET]. [And remember also that] you [ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
27 Waad maqasheen in la yidhi, Waa inaanad sinaysan.
“You have heard [God’s] commandment, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
28 Laakiin waxaan idinku leeyahay, Nin walba oo qof dumar ah damac u eegaa, durba qalbigiisuu kaga sinaystay.
But what I say to you is this: If a man only looks at a woman desiring to have sex with her, [God considers that] his doing that [MET] is sin.
29 Haddii ishaada midig ku xumayso, iska bixi oo iska tuur, waayo, waxaa kuu wanaagsan in xubnahaaga mid kaa lunto intii jidhkaaga oo dhan jahannamada lagu tuuri lahaa. (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY] you [are tempted to] sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it!] It is good [that you not sin and] as a result [go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both of] your eyes. But it is not good [that you continue to have two eyes and sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Gacantaada midig hadday ku xumayso, iska jar oo iska tuur, waayo, waxaa kuu wanaagsan in xubnahaaga mid kaa lunto intii jidhkaaga oo dhan jahannamada geli lahaa. (Geenna g1067)
If you are [tempted to] use one of your hands to sin [MTY], [stop using your hand. Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you do not sin and as a result you go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both] of your [hands]. But it is not good [that you sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell.” (Geenna g1067)
31 Waxaana la yidhi, Ku alla kii naagtiisa furaa, warqaddii furniinka ha siiyo.
“It is written {[Moses] wrote}, ‘If a man is divorcing his wife, he should write a document [on which he states that he is] divorcing her.’
32 Laakiin waxaan idinku leeyahay, Mid walba oo naagtiisa furaa sababta sinada aawadeed maahee, wuxuu ka dhigayaa inay sinaysato, oo kii guursadaa tii la furayna waa sinaystaa.
But [now listen to what] I say to you: [A man] may [divorce his wife] only if she has committed adultery, [and not for any other reason]. If a man divorces his wife [for any other reason, and he has sex with another woman], he makes his wife become one against whom he has committed adultery, [because in God’s estimation she still is his wife]. Also, if a man marries a woman who is divorced {whose husband has divorced her}, [God considers] him [guilty of] committing adultery.”
33 Weliba waad maqasheen in kuwii hore lagu yidhi, Waa inaanad nidarradaada jebin, laakiin waa inaad Rabbiga u yeeshaa nidarradaada.
“You have also heard [your religious teachers say] that it was written {that [Moses] wrote} to your ancestors, ‘Make sure that you do what you promised the Lord that you would do!’ [DOU]
34 Laakiin waxaan idinku leeyahay, Ha dhaaraninaba; jannada ha ku dhaaranina, waayo, waa carshigii Ilaah.
But [now listen to what] I say to you: Never promise to do anything and then ask a superior being to affirm [that what you are saying will happen. For example, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings in] heaven [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because heaven is where God [sits] on his throne [MTY] [to rule over people].
35 Dhulkana ha ku dhaaranina, waayo, waa meeshuu cagihiisa dhigo; Yeruusaalemna ha ku dhaaranina, waayo, waa magaaladii Boqorkii weynaa.
[Also, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings] on earth [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because the earth is where God rests his feet [MET]. [Also, do] not [promise that you will do something and ask religious authorities] in Jerusalem [to affirm that you will do it], because Jerusalem is the city where [God], the great King [rules].
36 Madaxaagana ha ku dhaaran, waayo, tin keliya kama dhigi kartid caddaan ama madow.
[Also, do not promise that you will do something and then say that] your head [should be cut off] {[someone should cut off] your head} [if you do not do it]. You are not [even] able to [change the color of the hair of your head by] making one [black] hair white or one [white] hair black.
37 Laakiin hadalkiinnu ha ahaado, Haah, haah, maya, maya; wixii intaas ka badan sharkuu ka yimaadaa.
[If you talk about doing something], just say ‘Yes, I [will do it],’ or ‘No, I [will not do it].’ [If you say] anything more than that, it is from [Satan], the Evil One.”
38 Waad maqasheen in la yidhi, Il il ha loo rido, iligna ilig ha loo rido.
“You have heard [your religious teachers say] that [it is written] {[Moses wrote]}, ‘[Retaliate like this]: [If someone damages] one of your eyes, [someone should damage] one of that person’s eyes. [If someone damages] one of your teeth, [someone should damage] one of that person’s teeth.’
39 Laakiin waxaan idinku leeyahay, Sharka ha hor istaagina, laakiin ku alla kii dhabanka midig kaa dharbaaxa, kan kalena u jeedi,
But [now listen to what] I say to you: Do not take revenge for evil [deeds done] {[that other people do]} [to you]. Instead, if someone [insults you by] striking you on one cheek, turn your other cheek toward that person [in order that he can strike it also].
40 oo kii doonaya inuu ku ashtakeeyo oo khamiiskaaga kaa qaato, maradaadana u daa,
If someone wants to sue you and take your (inner garment/shirt), give him your (outer garment/coat) also.
41 oo ku alla kii kugu qasba inaad mayl la socotid, laba la soco.
If a [military authority] compels you to go with him one mile [and carry his gear], go with him two miles [and carry his gear].
42 Kii wax kaa barya, sii, oo kii doonaya inuu wax kaa amaahdo ha ka sii jeesan.
Also, if someone asks you for [something], give [him what he is asking for]. If someone requests you to lend him [something], do not refuse [to lend it to him].”
43 Waad maqasheen in la yidhi, Waa inaad deriskaaga jeclaatid oo cadowgaaga necbaatid,
“You have heard [your religious teachers say that it is written that Moses wrote], ‘Love the citizens of your country and hate your enemies.’
44 laakiin waxaan idinku leeyahay, Cadowyadiinna jeclaada, u duceeya kuwa idin habaara, wax wanaagsan u sameeya kuwa idin neceb, oo Ilaah u barya kuwa idin caaya oo idin silciya,
But [now listen to what] I say to you: Love your enemies [as well as your friends], and pray for those who cause you to suffer.
45 si aad u ahaataan wiilashii Aabbihiinna jannada ku jira, waayo, qorraxdiisa wuxuu u soo bixiya kuwa xun iyo kuwa wanaagsan, roobna wuu u di'iyaa kuwa xaqa ah iyo kuwa aan xaqa ahaynba.
Do that in order to imitate what [God], your Father [who is] in heaven, does. He desires that you [MET] do [like he does]. [He acts kindly to all people. For example, he causes] the sun to shine [equally] on wicked [people] and on good [people], and [he sends] rain [both] on righteous [people] and on unrighteous [people].
46 Waayo, haddaad jeceshihiin kuwa idin jecel, abaalkee baad leedihiin? Cashuurqaadayaashu miyaanay sidaas oo kale samayn?
If you love [only] the people who love you, ([do not expect God to] reward you [in heaven]!/will [God] reward you [in heaven]?) [RHQ] [This is based on the fact that everyone], even the tax collectors, [who you think are very great sinners], love [RHQ] those who love them. [If you act like them], ([you are not any different from tax collectors!/in what way are you different from tax collectors]?) [RHQ]
47 Haddaad salaantaan walaalihiin oo keliya, maxaa dheeraad ah oo aad samaysaan? Dadka kale miyaanay sidaas oo kale samayn?
If you want [God] to bless only your friends, (you are not acting any better than other people!/are you acting any better than other people?) [RHQ] Even the non-Jews, [who you think sin very much] (OR, [you think are unacceptable to God]), want God to bless their friends [RHQ], [but God does not reward them for that].
48 Saas aawadeed u samaada sida Aabbihiinna jannadu u san yahay.
[You need to love those who do not love you], and in that way become perfect as [God] your Father, [who is] in heaven, is perfect.”
