Mathayo 5
1 Yesu alipoyaona makundi ya watu, alipanda mlimani, akaketi. Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea,
And having seen the multitudes, he went up to the mount, and he having sat down, his disciples came to him,
2 naye akaanza kuwafundisha:
and having opened his mouth, he was teaching them, saying:
3 “Heri walio maskini rohoni, 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 walio wapole, maana watairithi nchi.
'Happy the meek — because they shall inherit the land.
6 Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya kufanya atakavyo Mungu, maana watashibishwa.
'Happy those hungering and thirsting for righteousness — because they shall be filled.
7 Heri walio na huruma, maana watahurumiwa.
'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 wenye kuleta amani, maana wataitwa watoto wa Mungu.
'Happy the peacemakers — because they shall be called Sons of God.
10 Heri wanaoteswa kwa sababu ya kufanya atakavyo Mungu, maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
'Happy those persecuted for righteousness' sake — because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
11 “Heri yenu ninyi watu wakiwatukana, wakiwadhulumu na kuwasingizia kila aina ya uovu 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 tuzo lenu ni kubwa mbinguni. Hivyo ndivyo walivyowadhulumu manabii waliokuwako 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 chumvi ikipoteza ladha yake itakolezwa na nini? Haifai kitu tena, ila hutupwa nje na kukanyagwa na 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 mwanga wa ulimwengu! Mji uliojengwa juu ya mlima hauwezi kufichika.
'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 kuifunika kwa chungu, ila huiweka juu ya kinara ili iwaangazie wote waliomo nyumbani.
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 Vivyo hivyo, ni lazima mwanga wenu uangaze mbele ya watu, ili wayaone matendo yenu mema, wamtukuze 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 “Msidhani ya kuwa nimekuja kutangua Sheria ya Mose na mafundisho ya manabii. Sikuja kutangua bali kukamilisha.
'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 Kweli nawaambieni, mpaka hapo mbingu na dunia zitakapopita, hakuna hata nukta moja au sehemu ndogo kabisa ya Sheria itakayoondolewa, mpaka yote yametimia.
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 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 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 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 if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye may not enter to the reign of the heavens.
21 “Mmekwisha sikia ya kuwa watu wa kale waliambiwa: Usiue! Atakayeua lazima ahukumiwe.
'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 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 — 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 Basi, ukipeleka sadaka yako mbele ya madhabahu na hapo ukakumbuka kwamba ndugu yako ana ugomvi nawe,
'If, therefore, thou mayest bring thy gift to the altar, and there mayest remember that thy brother hath 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 having come 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 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 Kweli nakwambia, hutatoka humo mpaka umemaliza kulipa senti ya mwisho.
verily I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till that thou mayest pay the last farthing.
27 “Mmesikia ya kuwa watu waliambiwa: Usizini!
'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not commit adultery;
28 Lakini mimi nawaambieni, atakayemtazama mwanamke kwa kumtamani, amekwisha zini 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 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)
'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 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 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 “Ilikwisha semwa pia: Anayemwacha mke wake, yampasa 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 nawaambieni, anayempa mkewe talaka, isipokuwa kwa sababu ya uzinzi, anamfanya azini; na mtu akimwoa mwanamke aliyepewa talaka, anazini.
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 kuwa watu wa kale waliambiwa: Usivunje kiapo chako, bali ni lazima utimize kiapo chako 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 mimi nawaambieni, msiape kamwe; wala kwa mbingu, maana ni kiti cha enzi cha 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 kiti chake cha kuwekea miguu; wala kwa Yerusalemu, 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 kuufanya hata 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 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 that which is more than these is of the evil.
38 “Mmesikia kwamba ilisemwa: Jicho kwa jicho, jino kwa jino.
'Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth;
39 Lakini mimi nawaambieni, usimlipize kisasi mtu mbaya. Mtu akikupiga kofi shavu la kulia, mgeuzie pia shavu la pili.
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 Mtu akikupeleka mahakamani kutaka kukuchukulia shati lako, mwache achukue pia koti lako.
and whoever is willing to take thee to law, and thy coat to take — suffer to him also the cloak.
41 Mtu akikulazimisha kubeba mzigo wake kilomita moja, ubebe kilomita mbili.
'And whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two,
42 Akuombaye mpe, na mtu akitaka kukukopa kitu usimnyime.
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 kwamba ilisemwa: Mpende jirani yako na kumchukia adui yako.
'Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and shalt hate thine enemy;
44 Lakini mimi nawaambieni, wapendeni adui zenu na kuwaombea wale wanaowadhulumu ninyi
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 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 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 Je, mtapata tuzo gani kwa kuwapenda tu wale wanaowapenda ninyi? Hakuna! Kwa maana hata watoza ushuru hufanya hivyo!
'For, if ye may love those loving you, what reward have ye? do not also the tax-gatherers 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 may salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant? do not also the tax-gatherers so?
48 Basi, muwe wakamilifu kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.
