Mathayo 5
1 Yesu alipoyaona makundi ya watu, alipanda mlimani, akaketi. Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea,
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the mountain. And when he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 naye akaanza kuwafundisha:
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 “Heri walio maskini rohoni, 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 are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Heri walio wapole, maana watairithi nchi.
Blessed are the meek, for 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, for they will be filled.
7 Heri walio na huruma, maana watahurumiwa.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
8 Heri wenye moyo safi, maana watamwona Mungu.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Heri wenye kuleta amani, maana wataitwa watoto wa Mungu.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for 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 are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Heri yenu ninyi watu wakiwatukana, wakiwadhulumu na kuwasingizia kila aina ya uovu kwa ajili yangu.
Blessed are you when others reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
12 Furahini na kushangilia maana tuzo lenu ni kubwa mbinguni. Hivyo ndivyo walivyowadhulumu manabii waliokuwako kabla yenu.
Rejoice and be glad, for great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who 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.
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt loses its flavor, with what shall it be seasoned? It is no longer fit for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
14 “Ninyi ni mwanga wa ulimwengu! Mji uliojengwa juu ya mlima hauwezi kufichika.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden,
15 Wala watu hawawashi taa na kuifunika kwa chungu, ila huiweka juu ya kinara ili iwaangazie wote waliomo nyumbani.
nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines for all who 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 shine before others in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
17 “Msidhani ya kuwa nimekuja kutangua Sheria ya Mose na mafundisho ya manabii. Sikuja kutangua bali kukamilisha.
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish 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 truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter or stroke of a letter will by any means pass from the law until all is accomplished.
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.
Therefore whoever does away with one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Ndiyo maana nawaambieni, wema wenu usipozidi ule wa Mafarisayo na walimu wa Sheria, hamtaingia kamwe katika Ufalme wa mbinguni.
For I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
21 “Mmekwisha sikia ya kuwa watu wa kale waliambiwa: Usiue! Atakayeua lazima ahukumiwe.
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘Yoʋ shall not murder,’ and, ‘Whoever murders will be subject to 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 everyone who is rashly angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Yoʋ idiot,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. And whoever says, ‘Yoʋ fool,’ will be subject to the fires of hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 Basi, ukipeleka sadaka yako mbele ya madhabahu na hapo ukakumbuka kwamba ndugu yako ana ugomvi nawe,
So if yoʋ are offering yoʋr gift at the altar and there remember that yoʋr brother has something against yoʋ,
24 iache sadaka yako mbele ya madhabahu, nenda kwanza ukapatane na ndugu yako, ndipo urudi ukatoe sadaka yako.
leave yoʋr gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to yoʋr brother, and then come and offer yoʋr 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.
Make friends with yoʋr adversary quickly while yoʋ are on the way with him, lest yoʋr adversary hand yoʋ over to the judge, and the judge hand yoʋ over to the guard, and yoʋ be thrown into prison.
26 Kweli nakwambia, hutatoka humo mpaka umemaliza kulipa senti ya mwisho.
Truly I say to yoʋ, yoʋ will certainly not come out of there until yoʋ have paid the last penny.
27 “Mmesikia ya kuwa watu waliambiwa: Usizini!
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Yoʋ shall not commit adultery.’
28 Lakini mimi nawaambieni, atakayemtazama mwanamke kwa kumtamani, amekwisha zini naye moyoni mwake.
But I say to you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after 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)
So if yoʋr right eye causes yoʋ to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from yoʋ. For it is better for yoʋ to have one of yoʋr members perish, than for yoʋr whole body to be thrown 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 yoʋr right hand causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from yoʋ. For it is better for yoʋ to have one of yoʋr members perish, than for yoʋr whole body to be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Ilikwisha semwa pia: Anayemwacha mke wake, yampasa ampe hati ya talaka.
“It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
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 divorces his wife, apart from a matter of fornication, makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
33 “Tena mmesikia kuwa watu wa kale waliambiwa: Usivunje kiapo chako, bali ni lazima utimize kiapo chako kwa Bwana.
“Again, you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘Yoʋ shall not break an oath, but shall keep yoʋr oaths to the Lord.’
34 Lakini mimi nawaambieni, msiape kamwe; wala kwa mbingu, maana ni kiti cha enzi cha Mungu;
But I say to you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, 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 by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for 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 yoʋ swear by yoʋr head, for yoʋ 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 ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No’; for whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
38 “Mmesikia kwamba ilisemwa: Jicho kwa jicho, jino kwa jino.
“You 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, do not resist one who is evil. Rather, if anyone slaps yoʋ on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Mtu akikupeleka mahakamani kutaka kukuchukulia shati lako, mwache achukue pia koti lako.
If anyone wants to sue yoʋ and take away yoʋr tunic, let him have yoʋr cloak also.
41 Mtu akikulazimisha kubeba mzigo wake kilomita moja, ubebe kilomita mbili.
And if anyone presses yoʋ into service for one mile, go with him two.
42 Akuombaye mpe, na mtu akitaka kukukopa kitu usimnyime.
Give to everyone who asks of yoʋ, and do not turn away from anyone who wants to borrow from yoʋ.
43 “Mmesikia kwamba ilisemwa: Mpende jirani yako na kumchukia adui yako.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor and hate yoʋr 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 you may be sons of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends 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 you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 Kama mkiwasalimu ndugu zenu tu, je, mmefanya kitu kisicho cha kawaida? Hata watu wasiomjua Mungu nao hufanya vivyo hivyo.
And if you greet only your friends, what are you doing that is out of the ordinary? Do not even the tax collectors do that?
48 Basi, muwe wakamilifu kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
You therefore shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
