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 to the mount, and he having sat down, his disciples came to him,
2 Akafunua kinywa chake na akawafundisha, akisema,
and having opened his mouth, he was teaching them, saying:
3 “Heri walio maskini wa roho maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
'Happy the poor in spirit — because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
4 Heri walio na huzuni, maana watafarijiwa.
'Happy the mourning — because they shall be comforted.
5 Heri wenye upole, maana watairithi nchi.
'Happy the meek — because they shall inherit the land.
6 Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya haki, maana hao watashibishwa.
'Happy those hungering and thirsting for righteousness — because they shall be filled.
7 Heri wenye rehema maana hao watapata Rehema.
'Happy the kind — because they shall find kindness.
8 Heri wenye moyo safi maana watamwona Mungu.
'Happy the clean in heart — because they shall see God.
9 Heri wapatanishi, maana hao wataitwa wana wa Mungu.
'Happy the peacemakers — because they shall be called Sons of God.
10 Heri wale wanaoteswa kwa ajili ya haki, maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
'Happy those persecuted for righteousness' sake — because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
11 Heri ninyi ambao watu watawatukana na kuwatesa, au kusema kila aina ya ubaya dhidi yenu kwa uongo kwa ajili yangu.
'Happy are ye whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for my sake —
12 Furahini na kushangilia, maana thawabu yenu ni kubwa juu mbinguni. Kwa kuwa hivi ndivyo watu walivyo watesa manabii walioishi kabla yenu.
rejoice ye and be glad, because your reward [is] great in the heavens, for thus did they persecute 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.
'Ye are the salt of the land, but if the salt may lose savour, in what shall it be salted? for nothing is it good henceforth, except to be cast without, 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 set upon a mount is not able to 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 measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those 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 men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who [is] in the heavens.
17 Msifikiri nimekuja kuiharibu sheria wala manabii. Sijaja kuharibu lakini kutimiza.
'Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets — I did not come to throw down, but to fulfil;
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, verily I say to you, till that the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the law, till that all may 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 loose one of these commands — the least — and may teach men so, least he shall be called in the reign of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach [them], he shall be called great in the reign 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 if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye may not enter to the reign of the heavens.
21 Mmesikia ilinenwa zamani kuwa, “usiue” na 'yeyote auaye yuko katika hatari ya hukumu.'
'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill, and whoever may kill shall be in danger of 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 — I say to you, that every one who is angry at his brother without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Empty fellow! shall be in danger of the sanhedrim, and whoever may say, Rebel! shall be in danger of the gehenna of the fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Hivyo kama unatoa sadaka yako katika madhabahu na unakumbuka kuwa ndugu yako ana jambo lolote dhidi yako,
'If, therefore, thou mayest bring thy gift to the altar, and there mayest remember that thy brother hath 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 having come 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 thy opponent quickly, while thou art in the way with him, that the opponent may not deliver thee to the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and to prison thou mayest be cast,
26 Amini nawaambieni, kamwe hutawekwa huru hadi umelipa senti ya mwisho ya pesa unayodaiwa.
verily I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till that thou mayest pay the last farthing.
27 Mmesikia imenenwa kuwa, 'Usizini.'
'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not commit adultery;
28 Lakini nawaambieni yeyote amtazamaye mwanamke kwa kumtamani amekwisha kuzini naye moyoni mwake.
but I — I say to you, that every one who is looking on a woman to desire her, did already commit 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)
'But, if thy right eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. (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 doth cause thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
31 Imenenwa pia, yeyote amfukuzaye mkewe, na ampe hati ya talaka.'
'And it was said, That whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing of divorce;
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 — I say to you, that whoever may put away his wife, save for the matter of whoredom, doth make her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who hath been put away doth commit adultery.
33 Tena, mmesikia ilinenwa kwa wale wa zamani, 'Msiape kwa uongo, bali pelekeni viapo vyenu kwa Bwana.'
'Again, ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not swear falsely, but thou shalt pay to the Lord thine oaths;
34 Lakini nawaambia, msiape hata kidogo, ama kwa mbingu, kwa sababu ni enzi ya Mungu;
but I — I say to you, not to swear at all; neither by the 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 His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is a city of a great king,
36 Wala usiape kwa kichwa chako, maana huwezi kufanya unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
nor by thy head mayest thou swear, because thou art not able one hair to make 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 that which is more than these is of the evil.
38 Mmesikia imenenwa kuwa, 'Jicho kwa jicho, na jino kwa jino.'
'Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth;
39 Lakini mimi namwambia, Msishindane na mtu mwovu; lakini mtu akikupiga shavu la kulia mgeuzie na jingine pia.
but I — I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;
40 Na kama yeyote anatamani kwenda na wewe mahakamani na akakunyang'anya kanzu yako, mwachie na joho lako pia.
and whoever is willing to take thee to law, and thy coat to take — suffer to him also the cloak.
41 Na yeyote akulazimishaye kwenda naye maili moja, nenda naye maili mbili.
'And whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two,
42 Kwa yeyote akuombaye mpatie, na usimwepuke yeyote anayehitaji kukukopa.
to him who is asking of thee be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from thee thou mayest not turn away.
43 Mmesikia imenenwa, 'Umpende jirani yako, na umchukie adui yako.'
'Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and shalt hate thine enemy;
44 Lakini nawaambia, wapendeni adui zenu, waombeeni wanao waudhi,
but I — I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting 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 ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous.
46 Kama mkiwapenda wanaowapenda ninyi, mwapata thawabu gani? Kwani watoza ushuru hawafanyi hivyo?
'For, if ye may love those loving you, what reward have ye? do not also the tax-gatherers the same?
47 Na kama mkiwasalimia ndugu zenu tu mwapata nini zaidi ya wengine? Je!, Watu wa mataifa hawafanyi vivyo hivyo?
and if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant? do not also the tax-gatherers so?
48 Kwa hiyo yawapasa kuwa wakamilifu, kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.
