Matthew 5 (IYX)

1Yiisu bu amoni makoongi maa, nde ahaati nha yulu a mulaanda na adiaali. Miyii mia nde miakukini nha peembi a nde.When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2Nde abaandii uha bo nziisili yi:and He began to teach them, saying:

3«Kinyi yili na bawele mu muheebili, mundaa ti Ipfumu kia mayula ili kia bo!“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Kinyi yili na babali mu ulili, Mundaa ti Nziaambi sa aboondo bo!Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Kinyi yili na bangaa buleembi, mundaa ti bo sa batolo mukobo a tsi wu Nziaambi alasini!Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Kinyi yili na babali na nzala na nyooto a libweeye, mundaa ti Nziaambi sa akuusu manzala ma bo!Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Kinyi yili na babubaakwiilili bambaayi ngebe, mundaa ti Nziaambi ka sa wabakwiilili ngebe!Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Kinyi yili na babatsieeme mu mutimi, mundaa ti bo sa bamono Nziaambi!Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Kinyi yili na babubaamweese iyeenge nha kati a bo, mundaa ti Nziaambi sa ata bo baana ba nde!Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Kinyi yili na babali kutso mbingisi, mundaa libweeye la Nziaambi li bo bali mu usalila, mundaa ti Ipfumu kia mayula yili kia bo!Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Kinyi kwaa beni so baata butuu beni, bukwaamisa beni na uleele mandaa moosi mapia mu beni, mundaa ti beni diasa imiini mu me.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Diba kinyi na diyaanga, ka musieende wu munene li mu ukebe beni mu mayula. Ee-e ni buu ka, bakwaamisi mibili miatswaamina beni.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13«Beni dili mungwa wa tsi. Ka so mungwa a abwisaala na isie pe, buni butuu usa paa nde abwaba na isie? Nde a bwisaala na ndutu pe, bubwe mu ubumu nde ku buumbu, so a buu pe, ku baata budiaata nde.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«Beni dili liyalila la tsi. Ngaanda yi batuungu nha yulu a mulaanda a iyituu usweeme so hoolo pe.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15A bali mu unamisa mwiindi mu ufuu nde kutso ipaayi pe, ka bali mu usuusu nde nha yulu a isuusili kia mwiindi, paa aha liyalila kwaa boosi babali mutso nzo.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.

16Ni buu ka liyalila la beni lafwaana ungeyine nha kulu a baata boosi, paa bo bamono biyiluu bia beni bibibwe, na bakiinzi Taayi a beni wuli mu mayula.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 ditsimi pe ti me nayiri mu utsara mikele mia Mooso na nziisili a mibili. Me a nayiri pe mu utsara mio ka mu uyiluu uha mambiindili ma mio.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.

18Me nadileeli, mu ngwanya: natee yula na tsi bihele ulabuu, a so piti a isonii so imosi pe kiavulu mu bukee, na a so mbiindila ndaa so mosi pe yavulu mu bukee butuu ukuungulu mu mikele, natee manini a mandaa moosi.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.

19Ni mu buu, wu utakala so mosi wavulu mu bukee mu mikele mioosi, na nde yiisi ka kwaa bana mu uyiluu weti buu, sa aba wavulu bukee mu Ipfumu kia mayula. Ka wu usalila mukele wuu, na uyiisi kwaa bana mu uyiluu weti buu sa aba mukuutu mu Ipfumu kia mayula.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.

20Ee-e, me nadileeli: Beni diafwaana uvulu bayiisi ba mikele na Bafarisi mu utumumu mikele mia Mooso. So beni a divuli pe bo mu libweeye, beni a diba pe nha kati a baa babukoto mu Ipfumu kia Nziaambi.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21«Beni diayuyi ti, baleeli kwaa bakaa ba bisi: “A dusu pe. So muutu dusi mbaayi muutu, nde afwaana ti bamufuundusu nha kulu a banzioonzi.”You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Ka me nadileeli: pasi muutu wu ukolo mwaana nguu a nde kesi, afwaana ti bamufuundusu nha kulu a banzioonzi. Wuu wu uleele kwaa mwaana nguu a nde ti: “Iwulu!”, afwaana ti bamufuundusu kwaa pfuundu a ikuutu kia Bayuudayo. Wuu wu uleele kwaa mwaana nguu a nde ti: “We mayele pe!” afwaana ti bamudumunu ku mbaa ya ku mbuungulu.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.

23Mbiiti we yiri nha kulu a diki la tsuyili mu uha bungori kwaa Nziaambi, na nha mbuu yii we libili moonyi ti mwaana a nguu a we li na kooti na we,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24nyaala wa we bungori ba we nha kulu a diki la nzosili nhaa, na yene we kwavuutu iyeenge na mwaana nguu a we, tumake we yiri avutuu na we mweese mu ukuluu kwoosi, bungori ba we kwaa Nziaambi.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25«Ka bu beni dikeni mu kuulu na mutaata a we, mu uyene ku nzo a pfuundisi, bubwe mu ukwayuhusunu na nde bu beni dikeni mu kuulu. Diyiluu buu paa nde anyaala uyeelele we nha kulu a nzioonzi, tumake nzioonzi a anyaala uyeelele we kwaa basiali ba nde bakaadumunu we mu perese.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.

26Me nileele kwaa we, mu ngwanya: we a upala muu pe, so we amani pe ubele yaama la we, natee mukuti wa tsieelele.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27«Beni diayuyi baleeli ti: “A soongo pe!”You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Ka me nadileeli: pasi muutu wu utala mukaasa mu unyiimi nde, nde soongi na nde kutso mutimi a nde.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29So ni mundaa lisi la we la koo kia babaala we li mu ubwa mu masumu, sootolo lo na bumu lo ku la. Yavulu bubwe kwaa we, mu ufuusu inama imosi kia nyutu a we, ka a mu ukubu pe ti nyutu a we yoosi yifuu ku mbuungulu.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.

30So ni mundaa koo kia we kia babaala we li mu ubwa mu masumu, kese kio na bumu kio ku la. Yavulu bubwe kwaa we, mu ufuusu inama imosi kia nyutu a we, ka a mu uyene pe we woosi ku mbuungulu.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«Baleeli ka ti: “Wu ubisi mukari a nde, afwaana uha nde mukaanda wa utsara makweele.”It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Ka me nadileeli: pasi baala lilibisi mukari a nde, wahele usoongo na baala likimi, nde bwiisi mukari mu masumu ma tsoongili. Wu ukweele mukaasa wu baala likimi labingi, nde soongi ka.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«Beni diayuyi ka ti baleeli kwaa bakaa ba bisi: “A laba mukisi wa pia pe, ka kuusu mi we alasini nha we alaba mukisi nha kulu a Pfumu.”Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Ka me nileele beni mu uhele ulaba mukisi. A dilaba mukisi pe so mu kuumbu a mayula, mundaa ti yula ni mbata a Nziaambi,But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35a so mu kuumbu a toto pe, mundaa ti toto ni isuusili kia miili mia nde. A so mu kuumbu a Yeruselemi pe, mundaa ti yo ni ngaanda a Mutini wu munene.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36A laba mukisi pe so mu kuumbu a mutswe a we, mundaa ti we a utuu pe uhembese, so upiindisi linaanga la we so limosi.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37So ni “Ee-e”, dileele “Ee-e”; mbiiti “E-e ngori”, dileele “E-e ngori.” Ndili a buu, yi bubwaleele nha yulu a mabakwaleele, yi imata kwaa Muutu wu mubi.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38«Beni diayuyi baleeli ti: “So muutu tuli we lisi, we ka tulu la nde; so nde sokili we lini, we ka sokolo la nde.”You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Ka me nileele beni mu uhele uvutulu mamabi mu mamabi. So muutu teti we mbata nha tama la we la koo kia babaala, nyaala nde atete ka we mbata nha tama la koo kia bakaasa.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40So muutu tooni ubiti we nha kulu a banzioonzi, mundaa aholo ikutu kia we, nyaala aholo ka iyungu kia we.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41So muutu bamii we mu uyene mu tsitsi a fuundu limosi la bitaambi, yene na nde mu tsitsi a mafuundu moolo ma bitaambi.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Ha kwaa wu li mu uloombo we; na a bisi pe usoomboso kwaa wu tooni usoombo kwaa we.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43«Beni diayuyi baleeli ti: “Toono mbaayi a we, na bele mutaata a we.”You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Ka me nileele beni: Ditoono mitaata mia beni, na dikuundu mu boosi ba bali mu ukwaamisa beni.But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45Mu yii beni sa diba baana ba Taayi a beni wu li mu mayula. Ka nde li mu ubalisa nyanga a nde nha yulu a bababi na bababwe; nde li mu unooso mvulu nha yulu a babanambita na babahele unambita mu nde.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.

46So beni ditoono ndila babatoono beni, ki musieende beni dituu ubaa kwaa Nziaambi? Batoli ba limaanda ka bali mu uyiluu buu!If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47So beni diheeri mabwe ndila kwaa baana ba nguu ba beni, ki ndaa ya ukimuu beni dili mu uyiluu? Bangooyi ka bali mu uyiluu bumosi.And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Ni mu buu, diba babakuu, weti bu Taayi a beni wu li ku mayula ali akuu.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
