Mathayo 5
1 Yesu alipoyaona makundi ya watu, alipanda mlimani, akaketi. Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea,
And when he sawe the multitude, he went vp into a mountaine: and when he was set, his disciples came to him.
2 naye akaanza kuwafundisha:
And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 “Heri walio maskini rohoni, maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
Blessed are the poore in spirit, for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.
4 Heri walio na huzuni, maana watafarijiwa.
Blessed are they that mourne: for they shall be comforted.
5 Heri walio wapole, maana watairithi nchi.
Blessed are the meeke: for they shall inherite the earth.
6 Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya kufanya atakavyo Mungu, maana watashibishwa.
Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousnes: for they shalbe filled.
7 Heri walio na huruma, maana watahurumiwa.
Blessed are the mercifull: for they shall obteine mercie.
8 Heri wenye moyo safi, maana watamwona Mungu.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Heri wenye kuleta amani, maana wataitwa watoto wa Mungu.
Blessed are the peace makers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Heri wanaoteswa kwa sababu ya kufanya atakavyo Mungu, maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.
11 “Heri yenu ninyi watu wakiwatukana, wakiwadhulumu na kuwasingizia kila aina ya uovu 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 maana tuzo lenu ni kubwa mbinguni. Hivyo ndivyo walivyowadhulumu manabii waliokuwako 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 dunia! Lakini chumvi ikipoteza ladha yake itakolezwa na nini? Haifai kitu tena, ila hutupwa nje na kukanyagwa 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 mwanga wa ulimwengu! Mji uliojengwa juu ya mlima 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 chungu, ila huiweka juu ya kinara ili iwaangazie wote waliomo nyumbani.
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, ni lazima mwanga wenu uangaze mbele ya watu, ili wayaone 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 ya kuwa nimekuja kutangua Sheria ya Mose na mafundisho ya manabii. Sikuja kutangua bali kukamilisha.
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 Kweli nawaambieni, mpaka hapo mbingu na dunia zitakapopita, hakuna hata nukta moja au sehemu ndogo kabisa ya Sheria itakayoondolewa, mpaka yote yametimia.
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 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.
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 Ndiyo maana nawaambieni, wema wenu usipozidi ule wa Mafarisayo na walimu wa Sheria, hamtaingia kamwe 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 “Mmekwisha sikia ya kuwa watu wa kale waliambiwa: Usiue! Atakayeua lazima ahukumiwe.
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 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 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 Basi, ukipeleka sadaka yako mbele ya madhabahu na hapo ukakumbuka kwamba ndugu yako ana ugomvi nawe,
If then thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remembrest that thy brother hath ought against thee,
24 iache sadaka yako mbele ya madhabahu, nenda kwanza ukapatane na ndugu yako, ndipo urudi 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 mkiwa bado njiani, kwenda mahakamani. La sivyo, mshtaki wako atakukabidhi kwa hakimu, naye hakimu atakukabidhi kwa askari, nawe utafungwa 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 Kweli nakwambia, hutatoka humo mpaka umemaliza kulipa senti ya mwisho.
Verely I say vnto thee, thou shalt not come out thence, till thou hast payed the vtmost farthing.
27 “Mmesikia ya kuwa watu waliambiwa: Usizini!
Ye haue heard that it was sayd to them of olde time, Thou shalt not commit adulterie.
28 Lakini mimi nawaambieni, atakayemtazama mwanamke kwa kumtamani, amekwisha zini 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 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)
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 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)
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 “Ilikwisha semwa pia: Anayemwacha mke wake, yampasa 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 nawaambieni, anayempa mkewe talaka, isipokuwa kwa sababu ya uzinzi, anamfanya azini; na mtu akimwoa mwanamke aliyepewa talaka, 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 kuwa watu wa kale waliambiwa: Usivunje kiapo chako, bali ni lazima utimize kiapo chako 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 nawaambieni, msiape kamwe; wala kwa mbingu, maana 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 wala kwa dunia, maana ni kiti chake cha kuwekea miguu; wala kwa Yerusalemu, maana ni 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 Wala usiape kwa kichwa chako, maana huwezi 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 Ukisema, Ndiyo, basi iwe Ndiyo; ukisema Siyo, basi iwe kweli Siyo. Chochote kinachozidi hayo hutoka kwa yule Mwovu.
But let your communication be Yea, yea: Nay, nay. For whatsoeuer is more then these, commeth of euill.
38 “Mmesikia kwamba ilisemwa: Jicho kwa jicho, 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 nawaambieni, usimlipize kisasi mtu mbaya. Mtu akikupiga kofi shavu la kulia, mgeuzie pia shavu la pili.
But I say vnto you, Resist not euill: but whosoeuer shall smite thee on thy right cheeke, turne to him the other also.
40 Mtu akikupeleka mahakamani kutaka kukuchukulia shati lako, mwache achukue pia koti lako.
And if any man wil sue thee at the law, and take away thy coate, let him haue thy cloke also.
41 Mtu akikulazimisha kubeba mzigo wake kilomita moja, ubebe kilomita mbili.
And whosoeuer will compell thee to goe a mile, goe with him twaine.
42 Akuombaye mpe, na mtu akitaka kukukopa kitu usimnyime.
Giue to him that asketh, and from him that would borowe of thee, turne not away.
43 “Mmesikia kwamba ilisemwa: Mpende jirani yako na kumchukia adui yako.
Ye haue heard that it hath bin said, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour, and hate your enemie.
44 Lakini mimi nawaambieni, wapendeni adui zenu na kuwaombea wale wanaowadhulumu 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 wabaya na wema, na kuwanyeshea mvua watu wanyofu na waovu.
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 Je, mtapata tuzo gani kwa kuwapenda tu wale wanaowapenda ninyi? Hakuna! Kwa maana hata watoza ushuru hufanya hivyo!
For if ye loue them, which loue you, what rewarde shall you haue? Doe not the Publicanes euen 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 be friendly to your brethren onely, what singular thing doe ye? doe not euen the Publicanes likewise?
48 Basi, muwe wakamilifu kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
Ye shall therefore be perfit, as your Father which is in heauen, is perfite.
