Mathayo 5
1 Basi Yesu alipoona makutano, alipanda mlimani akaketi chini, nao wanafunzi wake wakamjia.
And when he sawe the multitude, he went vp into a mountaine: and when he was set, 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 poore in spirit, for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.
4 Heri wale wanaohuzunika, maana hao watafarijiwa.
Blessed are they that mourne: for they shall be comforted.
5 Heri walio wapole, maana hao watairithi nchi.
Blessed are the meeke: for they shall inherite the earth.
6 Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya haki, maana hao watatoshelezwa.
Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousnes: for they shalbe filled.
7 Heri wenye huruma, maana hao watapata rehema.
Blessed are the mercifull: for they shall obteine mercie.
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 peace makers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Heri wanaoteswa kwa sababu ya haki, maana Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni wao.
Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.
11 “Heri ninyi watu watakapowashutumu, na kuwatesa na kunena dhidi yenu mabaya ya aina zote kwa uongo kwa ajili yangu.
Blessed shall ye be when men reuile you, and persecute you, and say all maner of euill against you for my sake, falsely.
12 Furahini na kushangilia kwa maana thawabu yenu ni kubwa mbinguni, kwa kuwa hivyo ndivyo walivyowatesa manabii waliokuwa kabla yenu.
Reioyce and be glad, for great is your reward in heauen: for so persecuted they the Prophets which 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.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be troden vnder foote of men.
14 “Ninyi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Mji uliojengwa kilimani hauwezi kufichika.
Ye are the light of the world. A citie that is set on an hill, cannot 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 doe men light a candel, and put it vnder a bushel, but on a candlesticke, and it giueth light vnto 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.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good workes, and glorifie your Father which is in heauen.
17 “Msidhani kwamba nimekuja kufuta Sheria au Manabii; sikuja kuondoa bali kutimiza.
Think not that I am come to destroy the Lawe, or the Prophets. I am not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them.
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 truely I say vnto you, Till heauen, and earth perish, one iote or one title of the Law shall not scape, till all things 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.
Whosoeuer therefore shall breake one of these least commandements, and teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdome of heauen: but whosoeuer shall obserue and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdome of heauen.
20 Kwa maana nawaambia, haki yenu isipozidi haki ya Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria, kamwe hamtaingia katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni.
For I say vnto you, except your righteousnes exceede the righteousnes of the Scribes and Pharises, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen.
21 “Mmesikia walivyoambiwa watu wa zamani kwamba, ‘Usiue. Yeyote atakayeua atapaswa hukumu.’
Ye haue heard that it was sayd vnto them of the olde time, Thou shalt not kill: for whosoeuer killeth shalbe culpable of iudgement.
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 vnto you, whosoeuer is angry with his brother vnaduisedly, shalbe culpable of iudgment. And whosoeuer sayth vnto his brother, Raca, shalbe worthy to be punished by the Councill. And whosoeuer shall say, Foole, shalbe worthy to be punished with hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Kwa hiyo, kama unatoa sadaka yako madhabahuni, ukakumbuka kuwa ndugu yako ana kitu dhidi yako,
If then thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remembrest that thy brother hath ought against thee,
24 iache sadaka yako hapo mbele ya madhabahu. Enda kwanza ukapatane na ndugu yako; kisha urudi na ukatoe sadaka yako.
Leaue there thine offring before the altar, and goe thy way: first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy 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.
Agree with thine aduersarie quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him, lest thine aduersarie deliuer thee to the Iudge, and the Iudge deliuer thee to ye sergeant, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Amin, nakuambia, hautatoka humo hadi uwe umelipa senti ya mwisho.
Verely I say vnto thee, thou shalt not come out thence, till thou hast payed the vtmost farthing.
27 “Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Usizini.’
Ye haue heard that it was sayd to them of olde time, Thou shalt not commit adulterie.
28 Lakini mimi nawaambia kwamba, yeyote amtazamaye mwanamke kwa kumtamani, amekwisha kuzini naye moyoni mwake.
But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adulterie with her already 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)
Wherefore if thy right eye cause thee to offend, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: for better it is for thee, that one of thy members perish, then that thy whole body should be cast 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)
Also if thy right hand make thee to offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for better it is for thee that one of thy members perish, then that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Pia ilinenwa kwamba, ‘Mtu yeyote amwachaye mkewe sharti ampe hati ya talaka.’
It hath bene sayd also, Whosoeuer shall put away his wife, let him giue her a bill of diuorcement.
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 vnto you, whosoeuer shall put away his wife (except it be for fornication) causeth her to commit adulterie: and whosoeuer shall marrie her that is diuorced, committeth adulterie.
33 “Tena mmesikia walivyoambiwa watu wa zamani kwamba, ‘Usiape kwa uongo, bali timiza kiapo kile ulichofanya kwa Bwana.’
Againe, ye haue heard that it was sayd to them of old time, Thou shalt not forsweare thy selfe, but shalt performe thine othes to the Lord.
34 Lakini mimi nawaambia, msiape kabisa: iwe kwa mbingu, kwa kuwa ni kiti cha enzi cha Mungu;
But I say vnto you, Sweare not at all, neither by heauen, 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 yet by the earth: for it is his footestoole: neither by Hierusalem: for it is the citie of the great King.
36 Nanyi msiape kwa vichwa vyenu, kwa kuwa hamwezi kuufanya hata unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
Neither shalt thou sweare by thine head, because thou canst not make one heare white or blacke.
37 ‘Ndiyo’ yenu iwe ‘Ndiyo,’ na ‘Hapana’ yenu iwe ‘Hapana.’ Lolote zaidi ya hili latoka kwa yule mwovu.
But let your communication be Yea, yea: Nay, nay. For whatsoeuer is more then these, commeth of euill.
38 “Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Jicho kwa jicho na jino kwa jino.’
Ye haue heard that it hath bene sayd, 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 vnto you, Resist not euill: but whosoeuer shall smite thee on thy right cheeke, turne to him the other also.
40 Kama mtu akitaka kukushtaki na kuchukua joho lako, mwachie achukue na koti pia.
And if any man wil sue thee at the law, and take away thy coate, let him haue thy cloke also.
41 Kama mtu akikulazimisha kwenda maili moja, nenda naye maili mbili.
And whosoeuer will compell thee to goe a mile, goe with him twaine.
42 Mpe yeye akuombaye, wala usimgeuzie kisogo yeye atakaye kukukopa.
Giue to him that asketh, and from him that would borowe of thee, turne not away.
43 “Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Mpende jirani yako na umchukie adui yako.’
Ye haue heard that it hath bin said, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour, and hate your enemie.
44 Lakini ninawaambia: Wapendeni adui zenu na waombeeni wanaowatesa ninyi,
But I say vnto you, Loue your enemies: blesse them that curse you: doe good to them that hate you, and pray for them which hurt 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 ye may be the children of your father that is in heauen: for he maketh his sunne to arise on the euill, and the good, and sendeth raine on the iust, and vniust.
46 Kama mkiwapenda tu wale wanaowapenda, mtapata thawabu gani? Je, hata watoza ushuru hawafanyi hivyo?
For if ye loue them, which loue you, what rewarde shall you haue? Doe not the Publicanes euen the same?
47 Nanyi kama mkiwasalimu ndugu zenu tu, je, mnafanya nini zaidi ya wengine? Je, hata watu wasiomjua Mungu, hawafanyi hivyo?
And if ye be friendly to your brethren onely, what singular thing doe ye? doe not euen the Publicanes likewise?
48 Kwa hiyo kuweni wakamilifu kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
Ye shall therefore be perfit, as your Father which is in heauen, is perfite.
