Matthew 5 (GOFL)

1Daro derey shiiqidaysa Yesuusi be7ida wode zumaa bolla keyidi uttis. Iya tamaareti iyako shiiqin,When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2haysada yaagidi tamaarsis:and He began to teach them, saying:

3“Banta ayyaanan manqoti anjetidaysata, salo kawotethay entassa.“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Yeekeysati anjetidaysata, enti minthetho demmana.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Banta wozanan ashketi anjetidaysata, enti sa7aa laattana.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Xillobaa oothanaw koshateysatinne saamoteysati anjetidaysata, enti kallana.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Maareysati anjetidaysata, enti maarotethi demmana.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Wozana geeshshati anjetidaysata, enti Xoossaa be7ana.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Sigetheysati anjetidaysata, enti Xoossaa nayta geetetidi xeegetana.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Xillobaa oothiya gisho gidi, goodeteysati anjetidaysata, salo kawotethay entassa.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11“Asay hintena ta gisho gidi cayiya wode, gooddiya wodenne hinte bolla iitabaa ubbaa wordon odisiya wode hinte anjetidaysata.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Hinte woytoy salon gita gidiya gisho ufaytite, hashshu giite. Hintefe kase de7iya nabeta hessada goodidosona.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13“Hinte biittas maxine; maxiney ba maxinetetha aggiko, ba mal7otetha waati zaari demmanee? Kare holin asan yedhetanaape attishin, aybiska maaddenna.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“Hinte biittas poo7o; zuma bolla de7iya katamiya qosetanaw danda7uku.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Xompe oythidi son de7iya asa ubbaas poo7ana mela dhoqa son wotheesipe attishin, daallo giddon wothey baawa.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.

16Hessa mela asay hinte lo77o oosuwa be7idi, salon de7iya hinte aawa bonchana mela hinte poo7oy asa sinthan poo7o.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17“Taani Muse higgiyanne nabeta qaala shaaranaw yida hintew daanopo. Taani, enti odidaysi tuma gideysa qoncisanaw yasipe attishin, shaaranaw yabiike.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.

18Ta hintew tuma odayis; saloynne sa7i aadhana gakanaw higge ubbay poletanaape attishin, higgiyafe issi qaalay woyko pidaley aadhenna.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.

19Hessa gisho, ha kiitatape guuxiya issi kiitaa menthiya oonika qassi harata hessatho oothana mela tamaarsey oonika salo kawotethan ubbaafe guutha gidana. Shin ha kiitaa poleysinne harataka polana mela tamaarsey salo kawotethan gita gidana.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.

20Ta hintew odayis; hinte xillotethay Farsaaweta xillotethaafenne higge astamaareta xillotethafe aadhona ixiko, salo kawotethaa geleketa.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21“Hinte mayzatas, ‘Wodhopite; shempo wodhida oonika pirdetana’ geetetoysa si7ideta.You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Shin ta hintew odayis; ba isha bolla hanqetiya ubbay pirdetana. Ba ishaa cayiya oonika daynna sinthe pirdas shiiqana. Ba ishaako, ‘Eeyay’ giya oonika qassi gaanname taman pirdetana.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“Hessa gisho, neeni ne yarshuwa yarshiya wode, ne isha qohidabay new akeeketiko,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24ne yarshuwa he bessan aggada ba; koyrota bada ne ishaara giiga; yaata simmada, ne yarshuwa Xoossaas yarsha.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25“Nena mooteysara pirda keethi bashe oge bolla iyara giiga. Hessi atto giiko I nena daynna sinthe efana. Daynnay nena qacheysas aathidi immana; I nena woynen yeggana.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.

26Ta tuma odayis; ne bolla pirdetida acuwa issi santimey attonna cigga ongana gakanaw qasho keethafe keyaka.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27“Haysafe kase, ‘Laymatopite’ geetetoysa si7ideta.You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Shin ta hintew odayis, maccas xeellidi, amotida ubbay ba wozanan iira laymatees.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Ne ushacha ayfey new nagaras gaaso gidiko, kessa hola. Ne asatethay kumethi gaanname taman wodhanaape ne asatethafe issoy dhayiko new lo77o.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.

30Ne ushacha kushey new nagaras gaaso gidiko, iya qanxa hola. Ne asatethay kumethi gaanname taman wodhanaape ne asatethafe issoy dhayiko, new lo77o.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“ ‘Ba machees anjo worqate immo’ geetetis.It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Shin ta hintew odayis; ba machiya laymatonna de7ishin billiya oonika iya laymatana mela oothees. Hessadaka, anjetida maccasiw ekiya ubbay laymatees.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“Hinte mayzatako, ‘Wordon caaqofite; hinte Xoossaa sinthan caaqidaysa polite’ geetetidaysa si7ideta.Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Shin ta hintew odayis; ubbaraka caaqofite. Xoossay uttiya araata gidiya gisho, salon caaqofite.But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35Iya tohoy yedhiya soo gidiya gisho, sa7anka caaqofite. Gita kawa katama gidiya gisho, Yerusalaamenka caaqofite.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Hinte binaanape issuwaka boothi woyko kareethi oothanaw danda7onna gisho, hinte, hinte huuphenka caaqofite.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Hessa gisho, hinte qaalay, ‘Ee’ woyko ‘Akay’ gido. Hessafe kare keyey Xalahepe yees.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38“ ‘Ayfe gisho ayfe; acha gisho ache’ geetetidaysa si7ideta.You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Shin ta hintew odayis; hinte bolla iitabaa oothiya uraara eqetofite. Oonika ne ushacha shakala baqiko ne haddirsa shakala bessa.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40Issi asi ne shamziya ekanaw nena mootiko, ne kootiya gujada imma.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41Issi asi nena wolqan babaa toossidi issi saate oge baara baana mela nena un7ethiko, iyara nam7u saate oge ba.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Woossiya oodeska imma; neepe tal7anaw koyiya oonaka diggofa.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43“ ‘Nena doseysa dosa; nena ixeysa ixa’ geetetoysa si7ideta.You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Shin ta hintew odayis; hinte morketa dosite; hintena qoheysatas woossite.But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45Hessatho hinte oothiko, salon de7iya hinte aawas hinte nayta gidana. I iitatasinne lo77otas awa kessees; xillotasinne nagaranchotas ba ira bukisees.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.

46Hintena dosiya asaa xalaala hinte dosiko, hintew ay woytoy de7ii? Hari attoshin, qaraxa qanxiseysatika hessa oothosona.If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47Hinte, hinte ishata xalaala sarothiko, haratape ay hara aadhiyaba oothidetii? Hari attoshin, Xoossaa ammanonna asayka hessa oothosona.And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Hiza, salon de7iya hinte aaway polo gidoysada hinteka polo gidite.”Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
