Mathayo 5
1 Yesu alipo uona umati, akaondoka na kuelekea Mlimani. Alipokuwa ameketi chini, wanafunzi wake wakaja kwake.
BUT when Jeshu saw the multitudes, he ascended a mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples drew near to him;
2 Akafunua kinywa chake na akawafundisha, 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 walio na huzuni, maana watafarijiwa.
Blessed the mourners, for they shall be comforted.
5 Heri wenye upole, maana watairithi nchi.
Blessed the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya haki, maana hao watashibishwa.
Blessed they who hunger and thirst unto righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7 Heri wenye rehema maana hao watapata Rehema.
Blessed the merciful, for upon them shall be mercy.
8 Heri wenye moyo safi maana watamwona Mungu.
Blessed they who are pure in their hearts, for they shall see Aloha.
9 Heri wapatanishi, maana hao wataitwa wana wa Mungu.
Blessed the makers of peace, for the children of Aloha shall they be called.
10 Heri wale wanaoteswa kwa ajili ya haki, maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
Blessed they who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Heri ninyi ambao watu watawatukana na kuwatesa, au kusema kila aina ya ubaya dhidi yenu kwa uongo kwa ajili yangu.
Blessed are you when they treat you with reviling, and persecute you, and say concerning you every evil word, for my sake, in falsity.
12 Furahini na kushangilia, maana thawabu yenu ni kubwa juu mbinguni. Kwa kuwa hivi ndivyo watu walivyo watesa manabii walioishi kabla yenu.
Then be glad and exult, for your reward is great in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets who were 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.
You are the salt of the earth: but if it happen that salt become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned? It goeth for nothing but to be thrown without and trodden down by men.
14 Ninyi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Mji uliojegwa juu ya mlima haufichiki.
You are the light of the world: It is not possible that a city which is built upon a hill can be hidden.
15 Wala watu hawawashi taa na kuweka chini ya kikapu, bali kwenye kinara, nayo yawaangaza wote walio ndani ya nyumba.
Nor do they kindle a lamp and place it beneath a measure, but on a candlestick, and it enlighteneth all who are 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.
So let your light shine before the sons of men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 Msifikiri nimekuja kuiharibu sheria wala manabii. Sijaja kuharibu lakini kutimiza.
Think not that I came to loose the law or the prophets: not that I might loose, but that I might 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, Amen I say unto you, that until heaven and earth shall pass away, one yod, or one point, shall not pass from the law, till all be done.
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.
Every one, therefore, who shall set loose one from these least commandments, and shall so teach the children of men, the least shall he be called in the kingdom of heaven: but every one who shall do and teach, this shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
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 shall abound more than that of the scribes and the Pharishee, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Mmesikia ilinenwa zamani kuwa, “usiue” na 'yeyote auaye yuko katika hatari ya hukumu.'
YOU have heard that it was said unto them who were before, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill is obnoxious 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 unto you, that he who is angry against his brother rashly, is obnoxious to the judgment; and he who shall say to his brother, Thou empty one! is liable to the council; and every one who shall say, Thou fool! is liable to the gihano of fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Hivyo kama unatoa sadaka yako katika madhabahu na unakumbuka kuwa ndugu yako ana jambo lolote dhidi yako,
If it occur, therefore, that thou bring thy oblation to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother retaineth some enmity 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 oblation at the altar, and go, first be reconciled with thy brother, and then come and offer thy oblation.
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 at one with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest thy adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exactor, and thou fall into the house of the bound.
26 Amini nawaambieni, kamwe hutawekwa huru hadi umelipa senti ya mwisho ya pesa unayodaiwa.
And, Amen I say unto thee, that thou shalt not come forth from thence till thou hast rendered the last shamuna.
27 Mmesikia imenenwa kuwa, 'Usizini.'
You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.
28 Lakini nawaambieni yeyote amtazamaye mwanamke kwa kumtamani amekwisha kuzini naye moyoni mwake.
But I say to you, that every one who beholdeth a woman so as that he shall desire her, already committeth adultery 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)
But if thy right eye cause thee to offend, root it out and cast it from thee: it is better to thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should fall into gihano. (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 cause thee to offend, cut it off and cast it from thee; for it is better to thee that one from thy members should perish, rather than thy whole body should fall into gihano. (Geenna g1067)
31 Imenenwa pia, yeyote amfukuzaye mkewe, na ampe hati ya talaka.'
It hath been said, that he who looseth his wife should give her a writing of divorcement.
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 unto you, that whosoever looseth his wife, except on account of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery; and whosoever taketh her who is sent away, committeth adultery.
33 Tena, mmesikia ilinenwa kwa wale wa zamani, 'Msiape kwa uongo, bali pelekeni viapo vyenu kwa Bwana.'
Again, you have heard it was said to those beforetime, Thou shalt not lie in thine oaths, but shalt fulfil thine oaths unto the Lord.
34 Lakini nawaambia, msiape hata kidogo, ama kwa mbingu, kwa sababu ni enzi ya Mungu;
But I say unto you, Swear not at all: not by heaven, for it is the throne of Aloha;
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 earth, for it is the foot-stool beneath his feet; neither by Urishlem, for it is the city of the great king.
36 Wala usiape kwa kichwa chako, maana huwezi kufanya unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make a single hair in it either black or white.
37 Bali maneno yenu yawe, 'Ndiyo, ndiyo, Hapana, hapana.' Kwa kuwa yazidiyo hayo yatoka kwa yule mwovu.
But let your discourse be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for whatsoever is more than these is from the evil.
38 Mmesikia imenenwa kuwa, 'Jicho kwa jicho, na jino kwa jino.'
You have heard that it hath been 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 unto you, that you shall not rise up against evil: but if any one strike thee on the 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 if any one will contend with thee to take away thy tunic, leave him thy mantle also;
41 Na yeyote akulazimishaye kwenda naye maili moja, nenda naye maili mbili.
and if a man compel thee one mile, go with him twain.
42 Kwa yeyote akuombaye mpatie, na usimwepuke yeyote anayehitaji kukukopa.
Give to him who asketh from thee, and him who would borrow from thee refuse not.
43 Mmesikia imenenwa, 'Umpende jirani yako, na umchukie adui yako.'
You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 Lakini nawaambia, wapendeni adui zenu, waombeeni wanao waudhi,
But I say unto you, Love your enemies; bless them who execrate you; do that which is good to him who hateth you; and pray for them who lead you with a chain, 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.
That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who causeth his sun to arise on the good and on the evil, and who sendeth showers on the just and on the unjust.
46 Kama mkiwapenda wanaowapenda ninyi, mwapata thawabu gani? Kwani watoza ushuru hawafanyi hivyo?
For if you love those (only) who love you, what reward have you? do not even the tribute-gatherers this?
47 Na kama mkiwasalimia ndugu zenu tu mwapata nini zaidi ya wengine? Je!, Watu wa mataifa hawafanyi vivyo hivyo?
And if you wish peace to your brethren only, what more do you than they? do not also the tribute-gatherers this?
48 Kwa hiyo yawapasa kuwa wakamilifu, kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
Be ye therefore perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect!
