Matthew 5 (GEL)

1Da-u̱ Ye̱so̱ hyane̱ ban-du̱ u̱t-ne̱t, se̱ wa du̱u̱s u̱ do̱m u̱r-ro̱r wa shu̱'u̱t m-shu̱'u̱t. Se̱ a-doru̱ wa o̱p u̱ yu̱r e̱ haan u̱du̱ wa,When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2Se̱ Ye̱so̱ he̱e̱se̱ no̱mu̱ u̱n u̱t-ko̱se̱, wa zu̱,and He began to teach them, saying:

3<<Kom u-Ru̱ u̱du̱ i nape̱ ku̱shin-m e̱ u̱-me̱ u-Yar, remu̱ faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru du̱ e̱ de̱.“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Kom u-Ru̱ u̱du̱ a namu̱ jab-ne, na de̱ yadu̱ e̱ jab m-shiriktin.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Kom u-Ru̱ u̱du̱ i zatte̱ hu̱k-mu̱ u̱t-hi da, e̱ de̱ kwu̱m-du̱ dak-u uno̱.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Kom u-Ru̱ u̱du̱ a ho̱g-du̱ u̱s-me̱r u̱ swa'at m-bu̱ ne̱, tu̱ no̱m-u̱t so̱-to̱, na de̱ shu̱ksu̱ e̱.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Kom u-Ru̱ u̱du̱ a ho̱g-du̱ u̱r-o̱n ne̱, remu̱ Ru̱-u̱ de̱ ho̱gu̱ o̱n-u̱r e̱.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Kom u-Ru̱ u̱du̱ i o̱ jab-u̱ so̱-o̱ ne̱, remu̱ e̱ de̱ hyan-du̱ u-Ru̱.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Kom u-Ru̱ u̱du̱ i wu̱'e̱ u̱t-ne̱t u̱ shu̱'u̱t-du̱ jab-u̱ pus-o̱, na de̱ fag-du̱ e̱ ya'ag u-Ru̱.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Kom u-Ru̱ u̱du̱ i ne̱t-tu̱ o̱ yadu̱ u̱r-ko̱b u̱ remu̱ no̱m-u̱t so̱-to̱, remu̱ faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱ du̱ e̱ de̱.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11<<Kom u-Ru̱ u̱du̱ no̱ da ne̱t-tu̱ o̱ pe̱pru̱ no̱, e̱ o̱ u̱ yadu̱ no̱ u̱r-ko̱b, e̱ o̱ ke̱tu̱ no̱ u̱s-rem su̱ no̱m-u̱t yo̱-to̱ u̱ remu̱ ri.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12No̱mo̱n u̱r-so̱ u̱ no̱ no̱m jab-u̱ pus-o̱ u̱ remu̱ u̱zu̱ to̱p-u no̱ o̱ yat-o̱ u̱ do̱m u-ru̱, iya o̱ u̱n nomte̱ a-warru̱ rem-su̱ u-Ru̱ ne̱ i ba no̱ m-haan.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13<<No̱ o̱ ma-tu̱ dak-u uno̱. Se̱di a matu̱ taye̱ u̱r-gag, ¿re̱ne̱ o̱ na do̱te̱ mangu̱ to̱? Na za no̱m-du̱ o̱ko̱n u̱ to̱ da, se̱di na agu̱sse̱ u̱ ne̱t-tu̱ jangu̱sse u̱s-na.You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

14<<No̱ o̱ye̱ zu̱n-mu̱ dak-u uno̱. Bo̱-u̱ o̱ m-sak u̱ do̱m u̱r-ro̱r na za yasu̱ o̱ da.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Ne̱t za dapu̱s u̱s-hitirra u̱ wa wu̱gu̱b ya u-ko̱k da. Se̱di na sak ya u̱ do̱m naas wa u̱ ya ya' m-zu̱n u̱du̱ ne̱tu̱ o̱ye̱ u-bu u̱t-be̱e̱t.Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

16Iya o̱ hen, yagu̱n u̱ zu̱n-m no̱ mo̱k, u̱ka ne̱t-tu̱ do̱te̱ hyan-du̱ ank-m so̱mo̱ no̱, remu̱ e̱ no̱m-tu̱ U̱so-u no̱ wu̱ o̱ do̱m u-ru̱ u̱t-vam.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17<<A no̱ no̱m u̱s-dorog u̱zu̱ u̱m haagu̱n u̱m haste̱ rem-su̱ u-Ru̱ su̱ Mosa pane̱ u̱ su̱ a-warru̱ rem-su̱ u-Ru̱ ne̱ da. U̱m haagu̱n u̱m haste̱ se̱ da se̱di u̱m shu̱u̱ste̱ se̱.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.

18U̱m o̱ waru̱ no̱ u̱t-nip kanda do̱m u-ru̱ u-dak ne̱ o̱ e̱nkte̱, ko̱ u-pan u-re̱k ya ko̱ u-de̱ u-gan ya za u̱t-e̱nk u̱ te̱k-u̱ rem-su̱ u-bo̱r da se̱ na no̱ng ko-uyan.For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

19Ko̱wana pase̱ bo̱r-u re̱k-ya u̱ te̱k-u̱ bo̱r-u̱s sin-se̱ tu̱msu̱ wa ko̱se̱ u̱t-ne̱t e̱ pas, na do̱'e̱ fagu̱ wa yu̱ re̱k-ya u̱ te̱k-u̱ faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱. Wa hene kabe̱ rem-su̱ u-bo̱r sin-se̱ wa ko̱se̱ e̱ke̱n ne̱ na do̱'e̱ fagu̱ wa yu̱ yat-ya u̱ te̱k-u̱ faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱.So then, whoever breaks 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 and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20U̱m o̱ waru̱ no̱ a no̱ zege̱ Farisa-ne̱ u̱ a-ko̱se̱-tu̱ rem-su̱ u-bo̱r ne̱ u̱ no̱m-du̱ no̱m-u̱t so̱-to̱ da, no̱ za cwa-du̱ faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱ da.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21<<No̱ ho̱k na zu̱u̱g ne̱t-tu̱ da-u̱ dim, <A e̱ ho̱ ne̱t da, ko̱ wa ho̱ ne̱t na hu̱u̱tu̱ wa u̱ be-du̱ kwu̱p-du̱ u̱s-rem.>You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Se̱di u̱m o̱ waru̱ no̱ ko̱wana o̱ u̱s-ryab su̱ o̱r-u̱ wa na de̱ kwu̱pu̱ wa u̱s-rem. Tu̱msu̱ ko̱wana zu̱ye̱ o̱r-u̱ wa, <M-zan,> mo̱ro̱g-du̱ u̱t-ne̱nge̱n de̱ kwu̱pu̱ wa u̱s-rem. Wu̱ fage̱ o̱r-u̱ wa <Rag!> wa o̱ fu̱n-yu̱ ha-mu̱ bu-u u-ra.But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the fire of hell.

23<<Remu̱ iya, a bo̱ o̱ no̱m-du̱ u-nya u̱r-sak u-me̱ be-du̱ u̱r-shu̱'u̱t du̱ Wa-ko̱-uyan se̱ bo̱ baku̱s u̱zu̱ bo̱ no̱ngu̱ waku̱n no̱m-u̱ kame̱ da.So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24Yage̱ no̱m-tu̱ u-nya' u̱ ró u̱-shu̱ u̱r-sak bo̱ do̱'e̱ u̱du̱ wa. Ko̱n wa wa no̱mu̱ bo̱ u̱r-ho̱ remu̱ no̱mu̱ bo̱ no̱mu̱ wa. Se̱ bo̱ haan bo̱ yase̱ no̱m-tu̱ nya-u ró u̱du̱ u-Ru̱.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25<<A waku̱n o̱ hu̱u̱tu̱ bo̱ u̱ be-du̱ kwu̱p-du̱ u̱s-rem, sa u-mang no̱ wa ne̱ za naas u-da. No̱mo̱n iya du̱gu̱ u-fu̱n, a-za iya da wa de̱ hu̱u̱tu̱ bo̱ u̱du̱ wa kwu̱p-du̱ u̱s-rem, wa kwu̱p-du̱ u̱s-rem de̱ hen u̱ yasu̱ bo̱ u̱du̱ no̱m u̱s-ko̱m, no̱m u̱s-ko̱m tu̱msu̱ e̱ hu̱u̱t bo̱ u̱ bu-u̱ m-to̱k.Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

26U̱m o̱ waru̱ no̱ u̱t-nip bo̱ da rwu̱u̱n u̱ku̱n da se̱ bo̱ to̱po̱k no̱mu̱ na shu̱t-ne̱ wa u-be̱e̱t.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27<<No̱ ho̱k bo̱r-tu̱ u-Ru̱ u̱zu̱, <A no̱ no̱m m-o̱ da.>You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Se̱di u̱m o̱ waru̱ no̱, ko̱wana gwate̱ ne̱ta gwat u̱zu̱ wa roog u̱ wa ne̱, wa taaste̱ m-o̱ u̱ wa ne̱ u̱-me̱ jab-u̱ wa.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29A is-du̱ kom u̱t-cwa u̱ ró u̱ o̱ wadu̱ bo̱ u̱ no̱m-du̱ u̱t-ba'as, hoste̱ de̱ bo̱ rest taas bo̱ no̱m u̱t-ba'as. Ze̱k u̱r-zwar bo̱ taag u̱ o̱g-du̱ u̱r-gan du̱ war-u ró, u̱zu̱ na gun bo̱ u-ra u̱ o̱g-tu̱ war-u ró ne̱ u̱t-be̱e̱t.If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

30A kom u̱t-cwa ró o̱ wadu̱ bo̱ u̱ no̱m-du̱ u̱t-ba'as, kupse̱ o̱ bo̱ rest. Ze̱k u̱r-zwar u̱ bo̱ taag u̱ o̱g-du̱ u̱r-gan du̱ war-u ró u̱zu̱ na gun bo̱ u-ra u̱ o̱g-tu̱ war-u ró ne̱ u̱t-be̱e̱t.And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.

31<<Tu̱msu̱ na wargu̱ no̱ u̱zu̱, <Ko̱wana yane̱ ne̱ta wa, wa zatte̱ ka u̱t-no̱m da, se̱ wa yaag wa ran-u̱ u̱t-yan.>It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Tu̱msu̱ u̱m o̱ waru̱ no̱ u̱zu̱, ko̱wana yane̱ ne̱ta wa, a-za remu̱ ba'as-tu̱ m-o̱ da, wa wa'ag wa-u-as. Tu̱msu̱ wu̱ gaye̱ ne̱ta-yu̱ na yanne̱ wa no̱ng m-o̱ u̱ wa ne̱.But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

33<<No̱ ho̱k na wargu̱ ne̱t-tu̱ da-u̱ dim a e̱ no̱m to̱nd-su̱ u̱s-bi da, <A no̱ pas no̱mu̱ no̱ nomte̱ este̱du̱ u̱s-rem da, se̱di ne̱tu̱ no̱m no̱m-u̱ wa nomte̱ este̱du̱ u̱s-rem u̱du̱ Yawe.>Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Tu̱msu̱ no̱m u̱m waru̱ no̱ u̱zu̱, a no̱ no̱m u̱s-to̱nd da, ko̱ u̱ do̱m u-ru̱, remu̱ u̱zu̱ be-du̱ u̱r-shu̱'u̱t du̱ u-Ru̱ de̱ du̱ u̱r-faru̱k u̱ wa.But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35Tu̱msu̱ a no̱ to̱n-de̱ u-dak ne̱ da, remu̱ u̱zu̱ ku̱na Ru̱-u̱ cinte̱ na-u̱s wa. Tu̱msu̱ a no̱ to̱nd u̱ Urusharima ne̱ da, remu̱ u̱zu̱ bo̱-u yat-o̱ u̱ Farkina-ne̱ o̱.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36A-bo̱ to̱n-de̱ tu̱msu̱ u̱ hi-du̱ war ró ne̱ da, remu̱ u̱zu̱ ko̱ hi-u ró u-gan bo̱ za keru̱ mutu̱ ya u̱ pus-ya ko̱ u̱ rim-ya da.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37A no̱ u̱t-sa no̱m-du̱ o̱ko̱n no̱mu̱ kame̱ no̱ zu̱, <U̱, me̱ u̱t-no̱m,> ko̱ <O'o, u̱m za u̱t-no̱m da.> No̱m-u̱ ze̱ge̱ iya du̱ faru̱k-u̱ no̱m u̱s-te de̱ o̱ rwu̱tu̱n.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38<<No̱ ho̱k no̱m-tu̱ a-ko̱se̱-tu̱ u-bo̱r ne̱ zu̱ye̱, u̱zu̱ bo̱r-u̱t zu̱u̱g, <Wu̱ nase̱ is-du̱ o̱r-u̱ wa, waku̱n de̱ na-su̱ du̱ wa is-de̱. Wu̱ tu̱msu̱ fare̱ nin-yu̱ o̱r-u̱ wa, waku̱n de̱ far-du̱ yu̱ wa nin-ya.>You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Tu̱msu̱ u̱m o̱ waru̱ no̱ a no̱ to̱p waku̱n u̱ no̱m-u yo̱-o̱ remu̱ zu̱ wa no̱ngu̱ no̱m-u̱t yo̱-to̱ da. A waku̱n u̱ gapu̱ bo̱ u̱ gar-yu̱ kom u̱s-cwa bir u̱ gar-yu̱ kuse̱.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40A waku̱n u̱t-sa wa hu̱u̱t bo̱ u̱ be-du̱ kwu̱p-du̱ u̱s-rem remu̱ u̱zu̱ wa o̱ngte̱ to̱ggo̱-u ró, yasu̱ wa to̱ggo̱-yu̱ do̱m.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41A karma-yu̱ wa bo̱ u̱ kabu̱ wa u̱r-ba u̱ ha-mu̱ u-mer u-gan u̱r-be̱b, no̱m ha-mu̱ u̱s-me̱r u̱s-yu̱r u̱ wa ne̱.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42A waku̱n u̱ ko̱nu̱ bo̱ u-no̱m, ya' wa. Wu̱ haane̱ m-se̱g u̱du̱ ró, a-bo̱ hoos wa da.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43<<No̱ ho̱k Mosa panu̱g u̱zu̱, <Cwanu̱n o̱r-u̱t no̱ ne̱,> no̱ gu̱gu̱m i gu̱gmu̱ no̱ ne̱.You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Se̱di u̱m o̱ waru̱ no̱, cwanu̱n i gu̱gmu̱ no̱ ne̱, i o̱ ne̱ u̱ yadu̱ no̱ u̱r-ko̱b no̱mu̱n e̱ u̱s-to̱o̱g.But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45No̱mo̱n iya remu̱ no̱ shu̱'u̱te̱ ya'agu̱ U̱so-u no̱ wu̱ o̱ u̱ do̱m u-ru̱. Wa wu̱' ho̱-du̱ ya' m-zu̱n u̱du̱ ne̱t-u̱t so̱-to̱ u̱du̱ tu̱ za so̱-to̱ ne̱. Wa rob u-yu̱ u̱du̱ ne̱t-u̱t so̱-to̱ ne̱ u̱ tu̱ yo̱-to̱ ne̱.that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

46A no̱ o̱ cwan-tu̱ i o̱ cwan-u̱t no̱ ne̱, ¿yan to̱p-o̱ no̱ de̱ u̱t-kwu̱m? Ko̱ a-o̱nku̱ shik tar ne̱ iya o̱ e̱ nomte̱!If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47A no̱ o̱ vu̱k-su̱ o̱r-u̱t no̱ u̱ war'e̱, ¿yan-o̱ u̱ no̱ nome̱ u̱ no̱ zekte̱ e̱ke̱n ne̱? Ko̱ i nape̱ u-Ru̱ da, e̱ nom iya!And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48U̱ remu̱ iya, se̱ no̱ shu̱'u̱t shu̱yi-shu̱yi u̱ka U̱so-u no̱ u̱ do̱m u-ru̱ o̱tte̱ u-shu̱yi shu̱yi.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
