Mathayo 5
1 Yesu alipoyaona makundi ya watu, alipanda mlimani, akaketi. Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea,
And having seen the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. And when he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 naye akaanza kuwafundisha:
And having opened his mouth, he taught them, saying,
3 “Heri walio maskini rohoni, 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 walio wapole, maana watairithi nchi.
Blessed are the meek, because they will inherit the earth.
6 Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya kufanya atakavyo Mungu, maana watashibishwa.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled.
7 Heri walio na huruma, maana watahurumiwa.
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 wenye kuleta amani, maana wataitwa watoto wa Mungu.
Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God.
10 Heri wanaoteswa kwa sababu ya kufanya atakavyo Mungu, 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 yenu ninyi watu wakiwatukana, wakiwadhulumu na kuwasingizia kila aina ya uovu 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 tuzo lenu ni kubwa mbinguni. Hivyo ndivyo walivyowadhulumu manabii waliokuwako 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 chumvi ikipoteza ladha yake itakolezwa na nini? Haifai kitu tena, ila hutupwa nje na kukanyagwa na 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 mwanga wa ulimwengu! Mji uliojengwa juu ya mlima hauwezi kufichika.
Ye are the light of the world. A city setting on a hill cannot be hid,
15 Wala watu hawawashi taa na kuifunika kwa chungu, ila huiweka juu ya kinara ili iwaangazie wote waliomo nyumbani.
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 Vivyo hivyo, ni lazima mwanga wenu uangaze mbele ya watu, ili wayaone matendo yenu mema, wamtukuze 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 “Msidhani ya kuwa nimekuja kutangua Sheria ya Mose na mafundisho ya manabii. Sikuja kutangua bali kukamilisha.
Think not that I came to abolish the law or the prophets. I came not to abolish, but to fulfill.
18 Kweli nawaambieni, mpaka hapo mbingu na dunia zitakapopita, hakuna hata nukta moja au sehemu ndogo kabisa ya Sheria itakayoondolewa, mpaka yote yametimia.
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 Basi, yeyote atakayevunja hata amri moja ndogo kuliko zote, na kuwafundisha wengine wafanye hivyo, huyo atakuwa mdogo kabisa katika Ufalme wa mbiguni. Lakini yule atakayezishika na kuwafundisha wengine, huyo atakuwa 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 Ndiyo maana nawaambieni, wema wenu usipozidi ule wa Mafarisayo na walimu wa Sheria, hamtaingia kamwe 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 “Mmekwisha sikia ya kuwa watu wa kale waliambiwa: Usiue! Atakayeua lazima ahukumiwe.
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 mimi nawaambieni, yeyote anayemkasirikia ndugu yake, lazima ahukumiwe. Anayemdharau ndugu yake atapelekwa mahakamani. Anayemwita ndugu yake: Pumbavu atastahili kuingia katika 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 Basi, ukipeleka sadaka yako mbele ya madhabahu na hapo ukakumbuka kwamba ndugu yako ana ugomvi nawe,
If therefore thou should bring thy gift to the altar, and remember there that thy brother has anything against thee,
24 iache sadaka yako mbele ya madhabahu, nenda kwanza ukapatane na ndugu yako, ndipo urudi ukatoe 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 mshtaki wako upesi mkiwa bado njiani, kwenda mahakamani. La sivyo, mshtaki wako atakukabidhi kwa hakimu, naye hakimu atakukabidhi kwa askari, nawe utafungwa 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 Kweli nakwambia, hutatoka humo mpaka umemaliza kulipa senti ya mwisho.
Truly I say to thee, thou will, no, not come out from there, until thou have paid the last quadran.
27 “Mmesikia ya kuwa watu waliambiwa: Usizini!
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shall not commit adultery.
28 Lakini mimi nawaambieni, atakayemtazama mwanamke kwa kumtamani, amekwisha zini 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 Basi, kama jicho lako la kulia linakukosesha, ling'oe ukalitupe mbali. Afadhali zaidi kwako kupoteza kiungo kimoja cha mwili wako, kuliko mwili wako wote kutupwa katika moto wa 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 kulia unakukosesha, ukate ukautupe mbali. Afadhali zaidi kupoteza kiungo kimoja cha mwili, kuliko mwili wako wote uende katika moto wa 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 “Ilikwisha semwa pia: Anayemwacha mke wake, yampasa ampe hati ya talaka.
And it was said, Whoever may divorce his wife, let him give her a divorce certificate.
32 Lakini mimi nawaambieni, anayempa mkewe talaka, isipokuwa kwa sababu ya uzinzi, anamfanya azini; na mtu akimwoa mwanamke aliyepewa talaka, anazini.
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 kuwa watu wa kale waliambiwa: Usivunje kiapo chako, bali ni lazima utimize kiapo chako 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 mimi nawaambieni, msiape kamwe; wala kwa mbingu, maana ni kiti cha enzi cha 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 kiti chake cha kuwekea miguu; wala kwa Yerusalemu, 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 kuufanya hata unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
Neither shall thou swear by thy head, because thou cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Ukisema, Ndiyo, basi iwe Ndiyo; ukisema Siyo, basi iwe kweli Siyo. Chochote kinachozidi hayo hutoka kwa yule Mwovu.
But let your word be, Yes, yes, No, no. And anything beyond these is from evil.
38 “Mmesikia kwamba ilisemwa: Jicho kwa jicho, jino kwa jino.
Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 Lakini mimi nawaambieni, usimlipize kisasi mtu mbaya. Mtu akikupiga kofi shavu la kulia, mgeuzie pia shavu la pili.
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 Mtu akikupeleka mahakamani kutaka kukuchukulia shati lako, mwache achukue pia koti lako.
And to the man who wants to sue thee, and take away thy coat, thou shall leave him thy cloak also.
41 Mtu akikulazimisha kubeba mzigo wake kilomita moja, ubebe kilomita mbili.
And whoever will draft thee for one mile, go thou with him two.
42 Akuombaye mpe, na mtu akitaka kukukopa kitu usimnyime.
Give to him who asks thee, and turn thou not away from him who wants to borrow from thee.
43 “Mmesikia kwamba ilisemwa: Mpende jirani yako na kumchukia adui yako.
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shall love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.
44 Lakini mimi nawaambieni, wapendeni adui zenu na kuwaombea wale wanaowadhulumu 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 mistreat you and persecute you,
45 ili mpate kuwa watoto wa Baba yenu aliye mbinguni. Kwa maana yeye huwaangazia jua lake watu wabaya na wema, na kuwanyeshea mvua watu wanyofu na waovu.
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 Je, mtapata tuzo gani kwa kuwapenda tu wale wanaowapenda ninyi? Hakuna! Kwa maana hata watoza ushuru hufanya hivyo!
For if ye love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the tax collectors the same?
47 Kama mkiwasalimu ndugu zenu tu, je, mmefanya kitu kisicho cha kawaida? Hata watu wasiomjua Mungu nao hufanya vivyo hivyo.
And if ye only greet your friends, what do ye extra? Do not even the tax collectors this way?
48 Basi, muwe wakamilifu kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
Ye therefore shall be perfect, even as your Father in the heavens is perfect.
