Mathayo 5
1 Yesu alipo uona umati, akaondoka na kuelekea Mlimani. Alipokuwa ameketi chini, wanafunzi wake wakaja kwake.
And having seen the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. And when he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 Akafunua kinywa chake na akawafundisha, akisema,
And having opened his mouth, he taught them, saying,
3 “Heri walio maskini wa roho maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
4 Heri walio na huzuni, maana watafarijiwa.
Blessed are those who mourn, because they will be comforted.
5 Heri wenye upole, maana watairithi nchi.
Blessed are the meek, because they will inherit the earth.
6 Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya haki, maana hao watashibishwa.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled.
7 Heri wenye rehema maana hao watapata Rehema.
Blessed are the merciful, because they will obtain mercy.
8 Heri wenye moyo safi maana watamwona Mungu.
Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God.
9 Heri wapatanishi, maana hao wataitwa wana wa Mungu.
Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God.
10 Heri wale wanaoteswa kwa ajili ya haki, maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted because of righteousness, because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
11 Heri ninyi ambao watu watawatukana na kuwatesa, au kusema kila aina ya ubaya dhidi yenu kwa uongo kwa ajili yangu.
Blessed are ye when they revile you, and persecute you, and say every evil word, being deceitful against you because of me.
12 Furahini na kushangilia, maana thawabu yenu ni kubwa juu mbinguni. Kwa kuwa hivi ndivyo watu walivyo watesa manabii walioishi kabla yenu.
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, because your reward is great in the heavens, for so they persecuted the prophets before you.
13 Ninyi ni chumvi ya dunia. Lakini kama chumvi imepoteza ladha yake, itawezaje kufanyika chumvi halisi tena? Kamwe haiwezi kuwa nzuri kwa kitu kingine chochote tena, isipokuwa ni kutupwa nje na kukanyagwa na miguu ya watu.
Ye are the salt material of the earth. But if the salt material becomes ineffective, by what will it be salted? It is potent for nothing further, except to be cast outside and to be trodden down by men.
14 Ninyi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Mji uliojegwa juu ya mlima haufichiki.
Ye are the light of the world. A city setting on a hill cannot be hid,
15 Wala watu hawawashi taa na kuweka chini ya kikapu, bali kwenye kinara, nayo yawaangaza wote walio ndani ya nyumba.
nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lampstand, and it shines to all in the house.
16 Acha nuru yenu iangaze mbele za watu kwa namna ambayo kwamba, wayaone matendo yenu mema na kumtukuza Baba yenu aliye mbinguni.
Thus your light should shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in the heavens.
17 Msifikiri nimekuja kuiharibu sheria wala manabii. Sijaja kuharibu lakini kutimiza.
Think not that I came to abolish the law or the prophets. I came not to abolish, but to fulfill.
18 Kwa kweli nawaambia kwamba mpaka mbingu na dunia zote zipite hapana yodi moja wala nukta moja ya sheria itaondoshwa katika sheria hadi hapo kila kitu kitakapokuwa kimekwisha timizwa.
For truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth pass away, one iota or one tittle will, no, not pass away from the law, until all things come to pass.
19 Hivyo yeyote avunjaye amri ndogo mojawapo ya amri hizi na kuwafundisha wengine kufanya hivyo ataitwa mdogo katika ufalme wa mbinguni. Lakini yeyote azishikaye na kuzifundisha ataitwa mkubwa katika ufalme wa mbinguni.
Whoever therefore may relax one of these least commandments, and may teach men so, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens. But whoever may do and may teach them, this man will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
20 Kwa maana nawaambia haki yenu isipozidi haki ya waandishi na Mafarisayo, kwa vyovyote vile hamtaingia katika ufalme wa mbinguni.
For I say to you, that unless your righteousness abounds more than of the scholars and Pharisees, ye will, no, not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
21 Mmesikia ilinenwa zamani kuwa, “usiue” na 'yeyote auaye yuko katika hatari ya hukumu.'
Ye have heard that it was said to them in old times, Thou shall not murder, and whoever murders will be liable to the judgment.
22 Lakini nawaambia yeyote amchukiaye ndugu yake atakuwa katika hatari ya hukumu. Na yeyote amwambiaye ndugu yake kuwa, 'Wewe ni mtu usiyefaa!' atakuwa katika hatari ya baraza. Na yeyote asemaye, 'Wewe mjinga!' atakuwa katika hatari ya moto wa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you, that every man who is angry at his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment, and whoever speaks an insult to his brother will be liable to the council, and whoever says, Foolish man, will be liable to the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Hivyo kama unatoa sadaka yako katika madhabahu na unakumbuka kuwa ndugu yako ana jambo lolote dhidi yako,
If therefore thou should bring thy gift to the altar, and remember there that thy brother has anything against thee,
24 iache sadaka mbele ya madhabahu, kisha shika njia yako. Kapatane kwanza na ndugu yako, na kisha uje kuitoa sadaka yako.
leave there thy gift before the altar, and go. First be reconciled to thy brother, and then, after coming, bring thy gift.
25 Patana na mshitaki wako upesi, ukiwa pamoja naye njiani kuelekea mahakamani, vinginevyo mshtaki wako anaweza kukuacha mikononi mwa hakimu, na hakimu akuache mikononi mwa askari, nawe utatupwa gerezani.
Be agreeing with thine opponent quickly, while thou are with him on the way, lest the opponent deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the subordinate, and thou will be cast into prison.
26 Amini nawaambieni, kamwe hutawekwa huru hadi umelipa senti ya mwisho ya pesa unayodaiwa.
Truly I say to thee, thou will, no, not come out from there, until thou have paid the last quadran.
27 Mmesikia imenenwa kuwa, 'Usizini.'
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shall not commit adultery.
28 Lakini nawaambieni yeyote amtazamaye mwanamke kwa kumtamani amekwisha kuzini naye moyoni mwake.
But I say to you, that every man who looks on a woman to crave her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Na kama jicho lako la kulia linakusababisha kujikwaa, ling'oe na ulitupe mbali nawe. Kwa kuwa ni afadhali kiungo kimoja katika mwili wako kiharibike kuliko mwili mzima kutupwa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right eye causes thee to stumble, remove it and cast it from thee, for it is advantageous for thee that one of thy body-parts should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Na kama mkono wako wa kuume unakusababisha kujikwaa, ukate kisha uutupilie mbali nawe. Maana ni afadhali kiungo kimoja katika mwili wako kiharibike kuliko mwili mzima kutupwa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right hand causes thee to stumble, cut it off and cast it from thee, for it is advantageous for thee that one of thy body-parts should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 Imenenwa pia, yeyote amfukuzaye mkewe, na ampe hati ya talaka.'
And it was said, Whoever may divorce his wife, let him give her a divorce certificate.
32 Lakini mimi nawaambia, yeyote anaye mwacha mke wake, isipokuwa kwa kwa sababu ya zinaa, amfanya kuwa mzinzi. Na yeyote amuoaye baada ya kupewa talaka afanya uzinzi.
But I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife apart from a matter of fornication, disposes her to commit adultery, and whoever may marry her who has been divorced commits adultery.
33 Tena, mmesikia ilinenwa kwa wale wa zamani, 'Msiape kwa uongo, bali pelekeni viapo vyenu kwa Bwana.'
Again, ye have heard that it was said to them in old times, Thou shall not swear falsely, but shall render to the Lord thine oaths.
34 Lakini nawaambia, msiape hata kidogo, ama kwa mbingu, kwa sababu ni enzi ya Mungu;
But I say to you, not to swear at all, neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God,
35 wala kwa dunia, maana ni mahali pa kuweka kiti cha kukanyagia nyayo zake, ama kwa Jerusalemu, maana ni mji wa mfalme mkuu.
nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet, nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.
36 Wala usiape kwa kichwa chako, maana huwezi kufanya unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
Neither shall thou swear by thy head, because thou cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Bali maneno yenu yawe, 'Ndiyo, ndiyo, Hapana, hapana.' Kwa kuwa yazidiyo hayo yatoka kwa yule mwovu.
But let your word be, Yes, yes, No, no. And anything beyond these is from evil.
38 Mmesikia imenenwa kuwa, 'Jicho kwa jicho, na jino kwa jino.'
Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 Lakini mimi namwambia, Msishindane na mtu mwovu; lakini mtu akikupiga shavu la kulia mgeuzie na jingine pia.
But I say to you, not to resist what is troublesome, but whoever will strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Na kama yeyote anatamani kwenda na wewe mahakamani na akakunyang'anya kanzu yako, mwachie na joho lako pia.
And to the man who wants to sue thee, and take away thy coat, thou shall leave him thy cloak also.
41 Na yeyote akulazimishaye kwenda naye maili moja, nenda naye maili mbili.
And whoever will draft thee for one mile, go thou with him two.
42 Kwa yeyote akuombaye mpatie, na usimwepuke yeyote anayehitaji kukukopa.
Give to him who asks thee, and turn thou not away from him who wants to borrow from thee.
43 Mmesikia imenenwa, 'Umpende jirani yako, na umchukie adui yako.'
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shall love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.
44 Lakini nawaambia, wapendeni adui zenu, waombeeni wanao waudhi,
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 mistreat you and persecute you,
45 Ili kwamba muwe watoto wa baba yenu aliye mbinguni. Kwa kuwa anafanya jua liwaangazie wabaya na wema, na anawanyeshea mvua waovu na wema.
so that ye may become sons of your Father in the heavens, because he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and makes rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 Kama mkiwapenda wanaowapenda ninyi, mwapata thawabu gani? Kwani watoza ushuru hawafanyi hivyo?
For if ye love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the tax collectors the same?
47 Na kama mkiwasalimia ndugu zenu tu mwapata nini zaidi ya wengine? Je!, Watu wa mataifa hawafanyi vivyo hivyo?
And if ye only greet your friends, what do ye extra? Do not even the tax collectors this way?
48 Kwa hiyo yawapasa kuwa wakamilifu, kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
Ye therefore shall be perfect, even as your Father in the heavens is perfect.
