Mathayo 5
1 Basi Yesu alipoona makutano, alipanda mlimani akaketi chini, nao wanafunzi wake wakamjia.
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him;
2 Ndipo akaanza kuwafundisha, akisema:
and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
3 “Heri walio maskini wa roho, maana Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni wao.
Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Heri wale wanaohuzunika, maana hao watafarijiwa.
Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.
5 Heri walio wapole, maana hao watairithi nchi.
Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya haki, maana hao watatoshelezwa.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness; for they shall be filled.
7 Heri wenye huruma, maana hao watapata rehema.
Blessed are the merciful; for they shall receive mercy.
8 Heri walio na moyo safi, maana hao watamwona Mungu.
Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.
9 Heri walio wapatanishi, maana hao wataitwa wana wa Mungu.
Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called sons of God.
10 Heri wanaoteswa kwa sababu ya haki, maana Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni wao.
Blessed are they that are persecuted on account of righteousness; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Heri ninyi watu watakapowashutumu, na kuwatesa na kunena dhidi yenu mabaya ya aina zote kwa uongo kwa ajili yangu.
Blessed are you, when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, on my account.
12 Furahini na kushangilia kwa maana thawabu yenu ni kubwa mbinguni, kwa kuwa hivyo ndivyo walivyowatesa manabii waliokuwa kabla yenu.
Rejoice, and leap for joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so did they persecute the prophets who were before you.
13 “Ninyi ni chumvi ya ulimwengu. Lakini chumvi ikipoteza ladha yake, yawezaje kurudishiwa ladha yake tena? Haifai tena kwa kitu chochote, ila kutupwa nje ikanyagwe na watu.
You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has become tasteless, by what means shall it become salt again? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trod upon by men.
14 “Ninyi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Mji uliojengwa kilimani hauwezi kufichika.
You are the light of the world: a city that lies upon a mountain can not be hid:
15 Wala watu hawawashi taa na kuifunika kwa bakuli. Badala yake, huiweka kwenye kinara chake, nayo hutoa mwanga kwa kila mtu aliyemo ndani ya ile nyumba.
neither do men light a lamp and place it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it gives light to all that are in the house.
16 Vivyo hivyo, nuru yenu iangaze mbele ya watu, ili wapate kuona matendo yenu mema wamtukuze Baba yenu aliye mbinguni.
In this way let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 “Msidhani kwamba nimekuja kufuta Sheria au Manabii; sikuja kuondoa bali kutimiza.
Think not that I have come to make the law or the prophets of no effect. I have not come to make them of no effect, but to give them their full efficiency.
18 Kwa maana, amin nawaambia, mpaka mbingu na dunia zitakapopita, hakuna hata herufi moja ndogo wala nukta itakayopotea kwa namna yoyote kutoka kwenye Sheria, mpaka kila kitu kiwe kimetimia.
For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one yod or one point shall in no way pass from the law till all be fulfilled.
19 Kwa hiyo, yeyote atakayevunja mojawapo ya amri ndogo kuliko zote ya amri hizi, naye akawafundisha wengine kufanya hivyo, ataitwa mdogo kabisa katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni, lakini yeyote azitendaye na kuzifundisha hizi amri ataitwa mkuu katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni.
Whoever, therefore, shall make void one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Kwa maana nawaambia, haki yenu isipozidi haki ya Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria, kamwe hamtaingia katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni.
For I say to you, That, unless your righteousness excel that of the scribes and Pharisees, you can by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 “Mmesikia walivyoambiwa watu wa zamani kwamba, ‘Usiue. Yeyote atakayeua atapaswa hukumu.’
You have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges.
22 Lakini mimi nawaambia kwamba, yeyote atakayemkasirikia ndugu yake, atapaswa hukumu. Tena, yeyote atakayemwambia ndugu yake, ‘Raka,’atapaswa kujibu kwa Baraza la Wayahudi. Lakini yeyote atakayesema ‘Wewe mpumbavu!’ atapaswa hukumu ya moto wa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you, Whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges. And whoever shall say to his brother, Worthless fellow, shall be liable to the sentence of the Sanhedrin. But who ever shall say, Impious wretch, shall be in danger of hell-fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Kwa hiyo, kama unatoa sadaka yako madhabahuni, ukakumbuka kuwa ndugu yako ana kitu dhidi yako,
If, therefore, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has any thing against you,
24 iache sadaka yako hapo mbele ya madhabahu. Enda kwanza ukapatane na ndugu yako; kisha urudi na ukatoe sadaka yako.
leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 “Patana na mshtaki wako upesi wakati uwapo njiani pamoja naye kwenda mahakamani, ili mshtaki wako asije akakutia mikononi mwa hakimu, naye hakimu akakutia mikononi mwa askari, nawe ukatupwa gerezani.
Come to an agreement with your opponent at law quickly, while you are on the road with him, lest your opponent at law deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
26 Amin, nakuambia, hautatoka humo hadi uwe umelipa senti ya mwisho.
Verily, I say to you, You shall by no means come out thence, till you have paid the last farthing.
27 “Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Usizini.’
You have heard that it was said: You shall not commit adultery.
28 Lakini mimi nawaambia kwamba, yeyote amtazamaye mwanamke kwa kumtamani, amekwisha kuzini naye moyoni mwake.
But I say to you, Whoever looks upon a woman to cherish desire for her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Jicho lako la kuume likikusababisha kutenda dhambi, lingʼoe ulitupe mbali. Ni afadhali kwako kupoteza kiungo kimoja cha mwili wako kuliko mwili wako mzima ukatupwa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
If, then, your right eye ensnare you, tear it out, and throw it from you; for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Kama mkono wako wa kuume ukikusababisha kutenda dhambi, ukate, uutupe mbali. Ni afadhali kwako kupoteza kiungo kimoja cha mwili wako kuliko mwili wako mzima utupwe jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right hand ensnare you, cut it off, and throw it from you; for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Pia ilinenwa kwamba, ‘Mtu yeyote amwachaye mkewe sharti ampe hati ya talaka.’
It has been said: Whoever will put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.
32 Lakini mimi nawaambia, yeyote amwachaye mkewe isipokuwa kwa kosa la uasherati, amfanya mkewe kuwa mzinzi. Na yeyote amwoaye yule mwanamke aliyeachwa, anazini.
But I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, unless on account of lewdness, causes her to commit adultery: and whoever marries her that is divorced, commits adultery.
33 “Tena mmesikia walivyoambiwa watu wa zamani kwamba, ‘Usiape kwa uongo, bali timiza kiapo kile ulichofanya kwa Bwana.’
Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not swear falsely, but shall pay to the Lord your vows.
34 Lakini mimi nawaambia, msiape kabisa: iwe kwa mbingu, kwa kuwa ni kiti cha enzi cha Mungu;
But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 au kwa dunia, kwa kuwa ndipo mahali pake pa kuwekea miguu; au kwa Yerusalemu, kwa kuwa ndio mji wa Mfalme Mkuu.
nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King:
36 Nanyi msiape kwa vichwa vyenu, kwa kuwa hamwezi kuufanya hata unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
neither shall you swear by your head, for you can not make one hair white or black.
37 ‘Ndiyo’ yenu iwe ‘Ndiyo,’ na ‘Hapana’ yenu iwe ‘Hapana.’ Lolote zaidi ya hili latoka kwa yule mwovu.
But let your word be, Yes, yes; No, no; for whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.
38 “Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Jicho kwa jicho na jino kwa jino.’
You have heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 Lakini mimi nawaambia, msishindane na mtu mwovu. Lakini kama mtu akikupiga kwenye shavu la kuume, mgeuzie na la pili pia.
But I say to you, Resist not the injurious. But whoever will smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Kama mtu akitaka kukushtaki na kuchukua joho lako, mwachie achukue na koti pia.
And to him that will go to law with you, and take away your coat, give your mantle also.
41 Kama mtu akikulazimisha kwenda maili moja, nenda naye maili mbili.
And whoever will compel you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Mpe yeye akuombaye, wala usimgeuzie kisogo yeye atakaye kukukopa.
Give to him that asks of you; and from him that would borrow of you, turn not away.
43 “Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Mpende jirani yako na umchukie adui yako.’
You have heard that it was said: You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.
44 Lakini ninawaambia: Wapendeni adui zenu na waombeeni wanaowatesa ninyi,
But I say to you, Love your enemies: bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who insult you and persecute you:
45 ili mpate kuwa watoto wa Baba yenu aliye mbinguni. Kwa maana yeye huwaangazia jua lake watu waovu na watu wema, naye huwanyeshea mvua wenye haki na wasio haki.
that you may be the sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun to rise upon the evil and the good, and causes it to rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 Kama mkiwapenda tu wale wanaowapenda, mtapata thawabu gani? Je, hata watoza ushuru hawafanyi hivyo?
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the publicans the same?
47 Nanyi kama mkiwasalimu ndugu zenu tu, je, mnafanya nini zaidi ya wengine? Je, hata watu wasiomjua Mungu, hawafanyi hivyo?
And if you salute your brethren only, in what do you excel? Do not even the publicans so?
48 Kwa hiyo kuweni wakamilifu kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
Be you therefore perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
