Matthew 5
1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
Yesu peauwene msambi wa vandu, akakwela kuchitumbi, akatama. Vawuliwa vaki vakamlanda,
2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
mwene akatumbula kuvawula, akajova.
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Vamotisiwa vevavi vangangu mumpungu, muni Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga ndi wavi!
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Vamotisiwa vana mvinisu mumtima ndava vambudili Chapanga, muni Chapanga alavapolesa mitima!
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
Vamotisiwa vangolongondi, muni valahala mulima.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
Vamotisiwa vana njala na vevavi na njota ya kukita geigana Chapanga, muni Chapanga alavayukutisa
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Vamotisiwi vevavi na lipyana, muni Chapanga alavahengela lipyana.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Vamotisiwi vevavi na mtima wa msopi, muni yati valamuwona Chapanga.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
Vamotisiwi vatepulanisa, muni yati vikemelewa vana vaki Chapanga.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Vamotisiwi veving'aiswa ndava ya kukita geigana Chapanga, muni Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga ndi wa vene.
11 “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
“Mumotisiwi nyenye vandu vakavaliga, vakavanyagayi na kuvadetela uhakau ndava ya nene.
12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Mheka na kululuta muni njombi yinu yivaha kunani kwa Chapanga, chenichi ndi chevavahengili Vamlota va Chapanga vevavalongolili kwakona nyenye.”
13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
Nyenye ndi mwinyu wa pamulima! Nambu luyong'onyo lwaki lwakayaga yati yisopewa kiki? Yivya lepi na lihengu kavili yati kutagika kuvala na vandu vakuyilivatila.
14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
“Nyenye ndi ngati lumuli lwa pamulima! Muji weujengiwi panani ya chitumbi ufiyika lepi.
15 Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
Vandu vipambika lepi hahi na kuigubika na chiviga, muni yivikiwa panani ya chibokoselu kuvalangasa voha vevavi mugati.
16 Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Mewawa lumuli lwinu luvalangasa palongolo ya vandu, vagalola matendu ginu gabwina, vamlumbalila Dadi winu mweavi kunani.”
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
“Mkoto kuhololela kuvya nibweli kuwusa malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa amala mawuliwu ga Vamlota va Chapanga. Nibweli lepi kuwusa, ndi nibweli muni kugatimalisa.
18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.
Nikujovela chakaka, mbaka kunani na mulima yati zihamba, kawaka hati nukuta yimonga yeyiwusiwa mumalagizu mbaka goha gatimila.
19 Therefore, whoever shall break one of these least commandments and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Hinu, mundu yeyoha angayidakila hati mihilu umonga udebe kuliku zoha, na kuvawula vangi vakita ago, mwenuyo yati ivya mdebe neju, Muunkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga. Nambu mweiyuwanila na kuvawula vangi mwenuyo yati ivya mvaha muunkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.
20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Muyuwanila, ubwina winu ngati nakuyonjokesa wula wa vawula va malagizu na Vafalisayu, katu nakuyingila mu Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga.”
21 “You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’
“Mmali kuyuwana kuvya vandu va kadeni chavajoviwi, ‘Ukoto kukoma! Mundu yeyoha mweikoma yikumgana ahamuliwa.’
22 But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, mundu yeyoha mweakumyomela mlongo waki, yati ihamuliwa. Mundu yeyoha mweakumvevesa mlongo waki yati vakumtakila kulibanji la mihalu. Mweakumkemela mlongo waki, ‘Myimu! Yati iyingila kumotu wa magono goha wangajimika.’” (Geenna g1067)
23 “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
“Hinu, ngati upeleka luteta lwaku palongolo ya lusanja lwa luteta, na ukumbwiki kuvya mlongo waku avi na luhonda na veve,
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
Ululeka luteta lwaku pa lusanja lwa luteta, hamba hoti ukatepulana na mlongo waku kangi uwuya kavili uwusa luteta lwaku.”
25 Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
“Tepulana na mweakutakili kanyata mwakona munjila kuhamba kulibanji la mihalu. Ngati lepi, mweakutakili yati akukugotola mumawoko ga mhamula mihalu, mwene akugotola kwa manjolinjoli na kukungiwa muchifungu.
26 Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
Nikujovela chakaka yati nakuhuma mbaka ulipili sendi ya mwishu.”
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’
“Muyuwini kuvya vandu vajoviwi, kotoka kukita ugoni!
28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, kila mundu mweakumlolokesa mdala cha kumnogela amali kugona nayu mumtima waki.
29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
Hinu, lihu laku la upandi wa kulyelela likakubudisa, ulitupula ukalitaga kutali. Mbanga neju, veve kuyaganisa pandu pamonga pa higa yaku, kuliku higa yaku yoha kutagika pamotu wa magono goha wangajimika. (Geenna g1067)
30 If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
Ngati chiwoko chaku cha kulyela chikubudisa chidumulai ukatagayi kutali. Mbanga veve kuyaganisa pandu pamonga pa higa yaku kuliku higa yaku yoha yihambi kumotu wa magono goha wangajimika.” (Geenna g1067)
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’
“Gamali kujovekwa kuvya, ‘Mundu yeyoha mweakumleka mdala waki, amyandakila balua ya kumleka.’
32 but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, mundu yeyoha mweakumleka mdala waki, nambu ndu ndava ya kumkamula ugoni, akumkita mkemi. Na mgosi akamgegai mdala yula mwealekiwi ikita ugoni nayu.”
33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’
“Kangi myuwini vandu va kadeni vajoviwi, ‘Ukotoka kudenya chilapu chaku, nambu uganikiwa kutimilisa chilapu chaku kwa Bambu.’
34 but I tell you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, katu mkotoka kulapa, hati kunani kwa Chapanga, muni ndi chigoda cha Chapanga cha unkosi waki,
35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
amala kulapa kwa mulima muni chigoda cha kuvikila magendelu gaki, amala ku Yelusalemu muni muji wa Nkosi mkulu.
36 Neither shall you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
Ukoto kulapa pamutu waku, muni nakuhotola kuuhenga hati luyunju lumonga kuvya lwa msopi amala lutitu.
37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
Mkajovai ‘Ena,’ Ndi yivya ‘Ena,’ Mkajovai, ‘Mbwitu,’ Chakaka yivyai ‘Mbwitu,’ Chochoha chechiyonjokeseka pa genago chihumila kwa Setani.”
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
“Muyuwini kuvya gajoviki. ‘Lihu kwa lihu, linu kwa linu.’
39 But I tell you, do not resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, ukotoka kumuwuyisila mundu mhakau. Mundu akakupamanda, mulitama la kulyela, mng'anamusila na litama la kumangeya.
40 If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
Mundu akakutakila igana kukunyaga nyula yaku, mlekela atola mewa na likoti laku.
41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
Mundu akakukamula kwa makakala ugegai ndwika yaki kilomita yimonga, ugegai kilomita zivili.
42 Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
Mweakukuyupa mpelai, na ukotoka kumtila mundu mweakuyaika chindu.”
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
“Myuwini kuvya gajoviki, mgana muyaku, na mvenga likoko waku.
44 But I tell 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,
Nambu nene nikuvajovela, muvagana makoko vinu na kuvayupila vala vevakuvang'aisa nyenye,
45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
muni mpata kuvya vana va Dadi winu mweavi kunani. Muni mwene akuvalangasila lilanga laki vandu makoko na vandu vabwina, na kuvatonyela fula kwa vandu vabwina palongolo yaki na vandu vahakau.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Wu, njombi yoki mwipata kuhuma kwa Chapanga? Ngati mukuvagana vala vevakuvagana nyenye ndu! Kawaka! Muni hati vatola kodi navene vikita mewa!
47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Ngati Mukuvajambusa valongo vinu ndu, mhengili chindu kiki neju kuliku vangi? Muni hati vangammanya Chapanga vikita mewawa.
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Mwiganikiwa mkoto kupungula chochoa mukuhenga gabwina ngati Dadi winu wa kunani kwa Chapanga angapungula.”
