Matthew 5
1 Nígbà tí ó rí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, ó gun orí òkè lọ ó sì jókòó. Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ si tọ̀ ọ́ wá.
But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, —and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;
2 Ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí kọ́ wọn. Ó wí pé,
and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: —
3 “Alábùkún fún ni àwọn òtòṣì ní ẹ̀mí, nítorí tiwọn ni ìjọba ọ̀run.
Happy, the destitute, in spirit; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens;
4 Alábùkún fún ni àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀, nítorí a ó tù wọ́n nínú.
Happy, they who mourn; for, they, shall be comforted:
5 Alábùkún fún ni àwọn ọlọ́kàn tútù, nítorí wọn yóò jogún ayé.
Happy, the meek; for, they, shall inherit the earth:
6 Alábùkún fún ni àwọn tí ebi ń pa tí òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ́ nítorí òdodo, nítorí wọn yóò yó.
Happy, they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for, they, shall be filled:
7 Alábùkún fún ni àwọn aláàánú, nítorí wọn yóò rí àánú gbà.
Happy, the merciful; for, they, shall receive mercy:
8 Alábùkún fún ni àwọn ọlọ́kàn mímọ́, nítorí wọn yóò rí Ọlọ́run.
Happy, the pure, in heart; for, they, shall, see God:
9 Alábùkún fún ni àwọn onílàjà, nítorí ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni a ó máa pè wọ́n.
Happy, the peacemakers; for, they, shall be, called sons of God:
10 Alábùkún fún ni àwọn ẹni tí a ṣe inúnibíni sí, nítorí tí wọ́n jẹ́ olódodo nítorí tiwọn ní ìjọba ọ̀run.
Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 “Alábùkún fún ni ẹ̀yin nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn bá fi àbùkù kàn yín tí wọn bá ṣe inúnibíni sí yín, tiwọn fi ètè èké sọ̀rọ̀ búburú gbogbo sí yín nítorí mi.
Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:
12 Ẹ yọ̀, kí ẹ̀yin sì fò fún ayọ̀, nítorí ńlá ni èrè yín ní ọ̀run, nítorí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣe ṣe inúnibíni sí àwọn wòlíì tí ń bẹ ṣáájú yín.
Rejoice and exult, because, your reward, is great in the heavens; for, so, persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
13 “Ẹ̀yin ni iyọ̀ ayé. Ṣùgbọ́n bí iyọ̀ bá di òbu kí ni a ó fi mú un dùn? Kò tún wúlò fún ohunkóhun mọ́, bí kò ṣe pé kí a dàánù, kí ó sì di ohun tí ènìyàn ń fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀.
Ye, are the salt of the earth; but, if the salt become tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? it is good, for nothing, any more, save, being cast out, to be trampled on by men.
14 “Ẹyin ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ ayé. Ìlú tí a tẹ̀dó sórí òkè kò lè fi ara sin.
Ye, are the light of the world: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
15 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kì í tan fìtílà tán, kí a sì gbé e sí abẹ́ òsùwọ̀n; bí kò ṣe sí orí ọ̀pá fìtílà, a sì tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún gbogbo ẹni tí ń bẹ nínú ilé.
Neither light they a lamp, and place it under the measure; but upon the lampstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
16 Bákan náà, ẹ jẹ́ kí ìmọ́lẹ̀ yín kí ó mọ́lẹ̀ níwájú ènìyàn, kí wọ́n lè máa rí iṣẹ́ rere yín, kí wọn lè máa yin baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run lógo.
In like manner, let your light shine before men, —that they may see your good works, —and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
17 “Ẹ má ṣe rò pé, èmí wá láti pa òfin àwọn wòlíì run, èmi kò wá láti pa wọn rẹ́, bí kò ṣe láti mú wọn ṣẹ.
Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, —I came not to pull down, but to fulfil.
18 Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún un yín, títí ọ̀run òun ayé yóò fi kọjá, àmì kínkínní tí a fi gègé ṣe kan kì yóò parẹ́ kúrò nínú gbogbo òfin tó wà nínú ìwé òfin títí gbogbo rẹ̀ yóò fi wá sí ìmúṣẹ.
For, verily, I say unto you, until the heaven and the earth shall pass away, one least letter, or one point, may in nowise pass away from the law, till all be accomplished.
19 Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó bá rú òfin tí ó tilẹ̀ kéré jùlọ, tí ó sì kọ́ ẹlòmíràn láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, òun ni yóò kéré jùlọ ní ìjọba ọ̀run, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá ń ṣe wọ́n, tí ó sì ń kọ́ wọn, ni yóò jẹ́ ẹni ńlá ní ìjọba ọ̀run.
Whosoever, therefore, shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and teach men so, shall be called, least, in the kingdom of the heavens; but, whosoever shall do and teach, the same, shall be called, great, in the kingdom of the heavens.
20 Nítorí náà ni mo ti wí fún yín pé àfi bí òdodo yín bá ju ti àwọn Farisi àti ti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin lọ, dájúdájú ẹ̀yin kì yóò le wọ ìjọba ọ̀run.
For I say unto you, that, unless your righteousness exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, in nowise, may ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
21 “Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí a ti wí fún àwọn ará ìgbàanì pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ pànìyàn, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá pànìyàn yóò wà nínú ewu ìdájọ́.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, to them of olden time, —Thou shalt not commit murder, and, whosoever shall commit murder, shall be, liable, to judgment.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún un yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bínú sí arákùnrin rẹ̀ yóò wà nínú ewu ìdájọ́. Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó ba wí fun arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ráákà,’ yóò fi ara hàn níwájú ìgbìmọ̀ àwọn àgbà Júù; ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá wí pé, ‘Ìwọ wèrè!’ yóò wà nínú ewu iná ọ̀run àpáàdì. (Geenna g1067)
But, I, say unto you, that, every one who is angry with his brother, shall be, liable, to judgment, —and, whosoever shall say to his brother, Worthless one!, shall be, liable, to the high council; and, whosoever shall say, Rebel!, shall be, liable, unto the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Nítorí náà, nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń mú ẹ̀bùn rẹ wá síwájú pẹpẹ, bí ìwọ bá sì rántí níbẹ̀ pé arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni ohùn kan nínú sí ọ.
If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
24 Fi ẹ̀bùn rẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú pẹpẹ. Ìwọ kọ́kọ́ lọ ṣe ìlàjà láàrín ìwọ àti arákùnrin rẹ̀ na. Lẹ́yìn náà, wá kí ó sì fi ẹ̀bùn rẹ sílẹ̀.
leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw, —first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy gift.
25 “Bá ọ̀tá rẹ làjà kánkán, ẹni tí ó ń gbé ọ lọ sílé ẹjọ́. Ṣe é nígbà ti ó wà ní ọ̀nà pẹ̀lú rẹ, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yóò fà ọ́ lé onídàájọ́ lọ́wọ́, onídàájọ́ yóò sí fá ọ lé àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ lọ́wọ́, wọ́n a sì sọ ọ́ sínú túbú.
Be making agreement with thine adversary, quickly, while thou art with him, in the way, —lest once thine adversary deliver thee up unto the judge, and the judge, unto the officer, and, into prison, thou be cast.
26 Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún ọ, ìwọ kì yóò jáde kúrò níbẹ̀ títí tí ìwọ yóò fi san ẹyọ owó kan tí ó kù.
Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
27 “Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí òfin ti wí pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe panṣágà.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 Ṣùgbọ́n mo wí fún yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wo obìnrin kan ní ìwòkuwò, ti bà ṣe panṣágà nínú ọkàn rẹ̀.
But, I, say unto you, that, Every one who looketh on a woman so as to covet her, already, hath committed adultery with her, in his heart.
29 Bí ojú ọ̀tún rẹ bá mú ọ kọsẹ̀, yọ ọ́ jáde, kí ó sì sọ ọ́ nù. Ó sá à ní èrè fún ọ kí ẹ̀yà ara rẹ kan ṣègbé, ju kí a gbé gbogbo ara rẹ jù sí iná ọ̀run àpáàdì. (Geenna g1067)
And, if, thy right eye, is causing thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, be cast into gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
30 Bí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ bá mú ọ kọsẹ̀, gé e kúrò, kí ó sì sọ ọ́ nù. Ó sá à ní èrè kí ẹ̀yà ara rẹ kan ṣègbé ju kí a gbé gbogbo ara rẹ jù sí iná ọ̀run àpáàdì. (Geenna g1067)
And, if, thy right hand, is causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, into gehenna, depart. (Geenna g1067)
31 “A ti wí pẹ̀lú pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, jẹ́ kí ó fi ìwé ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ lé e lọ́wọ́.’
It was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
32 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi sọ èyí fún yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, láìṣe pé nítorí àgbèrè, ó mú un ṣe àgbèrè, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì gbé ẹni tí a kọ̀ ní ìyàwó, ó ṣe panṣágà.
But, I, say unto you, that, Everyone who divorceth his wife—saving for unfaithfulness, causeth her to be made an adulteress, —[and, whosoever shall marry a divorced woman, committeth adultery].
33 “Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí a ti wí fún àwọn ará ìgbàanì pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ búra èké bí kò ṣe pé kí ìwọ kí ó mú ìbúra rẹ̀ fún Olúwa ṣẹ.’
Again, ye have heard that it was said, to them of olden time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, —but shalt render unto the Lord, thine oaths.
34 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín, ẹ má ṣe búra rárá: ìbá à ṣe fífi ọ̀run búra, nítorí ìtẹ́ Ọlọ́run ni.
But, I, tell you—not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God, —
35 Tàbí fi ayé búra, nítorí àpótí ìtìsẹ̀ Ọlọ́run ni; tàbí Jerusalẹmu, nítorí olórí ìlú ọba ńlá ni.
Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because, it is the, city, of the Great King;
36 Má ṣe fi orí rẹ búra, nítorí ìwọ kò lè sọ irun ẹyọ kan di funfun tàbí di dúdú.
Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.
37 Ẹ jẹ́ kí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yín jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àti bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yín jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ohunkóhun tí ó ba ju ìwọ̀nyí lọ, wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni ibi.
But let your word be, Yea, yea, —Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.
38 “Ẹ̀yin tí gbọ́ bí òfin tí wí pé, ‘Ojú fún ojú àti eyín fún eyín.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, —Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.
39 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín pé, ẹ má ṣe tako ẹni ibi. Bí ẹnìkan bá gbá ọ lẹ́rẹ̀kẹ́ ọ̀tún, yí ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́ òsì sí olúwa rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
But, I, tell you, not to resist evil, —Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;
40 Bí ẹnìkan bá fẹ́ gbé ọ lọ sílé ẹjọ́, tí ó sì fẹ́ gba ẹ̀wù àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, jọ̀wọ́ agbádá rẹ fún un pẹ̀lú.
And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.
41 Bí ẹni kan bá fẹ́ fi agbára mú ọ rìn ibùsọ̀ kan, bá a lọ ní ibùsọ̀ méjì.
And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
42 Fi fún ẹni tí ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó ń fẹ́ wín lọ́wọ́ rẹ, má ṣe mú ojú kúrò.
To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
43 “Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí òfin ti wí pé, ‘Ìwọ fẹ́ ọmọnìkejì rẹ, kí ìwọ sì kórìíra ọ̀tá rẹ̀.’
Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín pé, ẹ fẹ́ràn àwọn ọ̀tá yín kí ẹ sì gbàdúrà fún àwọn tí ń ṣe inúnibíni sí yín.
But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting you:
45 Kí ẹ̀yin lè jẹ́ ọmọ Baba yín ti ń bẹ ní ọ̀run. Ó mú kí oòrùn rẹ̀ ràn sára ènìyàn búburú àti ènìyàn rere, ó rọ̀jò fún àwọn olódodo àti fún àwọn aláìṣòdodo.
That ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.
46 Bí ẹ̀yin bá fẹ́ràn àwọn tí ó fẹ́ràn yín nìkan, èrè kí ni ẹ̀yin ní? Àwọn agbowó òde kò ha ń ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́?
For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?
47 Àti bí ó bá sì jẹ́ pé kìkì àwọn arákùnrin yín nìkan ni ẹ̀yin ń kí, kín ni ẹ̀yin ń ṣe ju àwọn mìíràn lọ? Àwọn kèfèrí kò ha ń ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ bí?
And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
48 Nítorí náà, ẹ jẹ́ pípé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run ṣe jẹ́ pípé.
Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is perfect.
