Matthew 5 (LGA)

1Totonai sa batiria i Jisu sira na minete tinoni, poni sa sa kesa sae pa kukubona. Ko totonai sa toqo isa poni sa qai lame vavaikamu tana sira na ona sepele.When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2Poni sa sa podalai vagigalairia isa sira, pira sau:and He began to teach them, saying:

3<<Qai tamana sira qai golaba pa gagala, ura tadira sa na binangara pa noka.“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Qai tamana sira qai takulanga, ura mai tavamanoto sira.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Qai tamana sira qaike tuara, ura ira mai teku isongia na kasia abana.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Qai tamana sira qai burana kidepenia na tuvisi, ura ira mai pote vatale.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Qai tamana sira qai vairoqu vaitokai, ura ira mai taiania na vairoqu vaitokai.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Qai tamana sira sa lioso na bulodi, ura ira mai batia na Tamasa.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Qai tamana sira na tinoni vavaivabule, ura ira mai tapoja na tuna na Tamasa.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Qai tamana sira qai takomitinia na tuvisi, ura tadira sa na binangara pa noka.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Qu tamana sagou tonai qai poja vivikeregou, qai komitigou beto qai jutu seseke tarinigou doru kai ikerena pana laequ ara.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Mu qera ko mu qera vivitigi tu, ura na miu pinia pa noka sa lavata jola. Ura ira na tinoni kokorotai pa moa ba qai komiti veiniria tugu inara,>> sau si Jisu.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13<<Agou sa na solona na kasia abana. Ba totonai mina maragutu na lilingina sa na solo, poni sa ai mule mina vei beto mina boka lilingi solo ligu sisa? Totonai sa sa kepore veveina sisa, goto na padana sa mina tagona votu pale gu pa peguru, ko mai tete anyanyunia gu na tinoni.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.

14Agou sa na kaberena na kasia gusu. Na gusu sa toqo pa batuna na kubo sa sake boka pae.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Kepore sa kai tinoni sa vatoaia na juke beto sa vatoqo pale pa kauru kadakita. Goto sa vatoqoa tu pa totoqona juke isa sa na juke, ko sa tolanga vaniria sira doru pa leo ruma.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.

16Ko agou ba mi tolanga vatale tu sa na miu kabere ko ira na tinoni mai batiria na miu roiti jongadi, ko mai vatarasaea sa na Tamamiu pa noka,>> sau si Jisu.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17<<Kita mu roroqua agou sa ara qa lame ko ma jegaria sa na Vavanau tai Mosese babi na vaivagigalai tadira na tinoni kokorotai qau kita mugu. Ara qake lame ko ma jejegara goto ma vavaokoto tu qau.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.

18Ura ma pojanigou sosoto ara sagou: tinganai mina maragutu sa na oka beto na peso, sa bi mija tu mina mumuri pa Vavanau sa kai leta ikete babi gasi ikete, tinganai mai gore votu beto mai tu sira doru sakasava.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.

19Ko sa vei sa na tinoni sa vakeporea kame ira na kobu garunu ikete aipira beto sa vagigalainiria ira na goto tinoni ko mai veiniria tugu isa, sa mina tapoja na tinoni kepore veveina pa binangara pa noka sa na tinoni isa. Goto na tinoni sa vataberia beto sa vaivagigalainiria, sa mina tapoja na tinoni poreveveina pa binangara pa noka sisa.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.

20Ma pojanigou ara sagou: vei na miu tuvisi minake pugele nyonyoa jolania na tuvisi tadira qai vaivagigalainia na Vavanau beto na Parese, poni sa munake isongo boka tomea agou sa na binangara pa noka,>> sau si Jisu.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21<<Qu tei nongoroniamiu tugu agou sa isa pira sau perangana tadira pa moa, <Munake varivai, beto ko isa sa varivai sa kode mina gosoria na vaituti,> sau.You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Ba ara ma pojanigou sagou: na tinoni sa kokorania na tasina sa mina gosoria na vaituti. Isa pira biunia na tasina, <Ao na batu kokove,> biunia, sa mina lao pa koti tadira na tinoni Jiu. Isa pira biu, <Ao na duduvili,> biu, sa mina lao pa iku pa heli.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.

23Ko sa vei sa vei bu korapa vaivanania pa ia vavakukuvuna ao sa na mua vaivana poni sa ketakoi tu sa bu roroqu kamua ao sa kai sela qu roitinia ao tana tasimu,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24poni sa mu loa vakolea ketakoi pa moena na ia vavakukuvuna sa na mua vaivana ko mu mule riu bulea mai sa na tasimu beto sa mu lao vaivanania sa na mua vaivana.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25Mu sisiqarai bulea na mua kana totonai qu korapa lalaomiu pa soana, kita na mua kana mi valaogo tana tinoni vaituti, ko na tinoni vaituti mi valaogo tana na nabulu kopu, ko isa mi gona tomenigo pa ruma vaipiu.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.

26Ma poja sosotonigo ara sao: kode munake isongo votu taloa ketakoi sao tinganai muna lipu vaokotia na poata bebetona,>> sau si Jisu.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27<<Qu tei nongoroniamiu tu agou sa isa pira sau perangana, <Munake babarata,> sau.You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Ba ara ma pojanigou sagou: na tinoni sa dodoro nyoroguania gu sa kai rereko iviva, sa sa tei baratia tugu pa bulona isa sisa.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Ko vei na mata kale matuamu ao sa bi vavukeligo, sa mu ujolia ko mu gona palenia. Ura vei kai kobu tinimu ao sa bi takobu pale sa isa sa jongana jolania na tini dorumu ao bi tagona lao pa heli.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.

30Beto vei na lima kale matuamu ao sa bi vavukeligo ao, sa mu kobua ko mu gona palenia. Ura vei kai kobu tinimu ao sa bi takobu pale sa isa sa jongana jolania na tini dorumu ao bi tagona lao pa heli,>> sau si Jisu.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<<Ego pira sau sa perangana, <Isa mi loa pale na maqotana sau sa mi vania na pepa vailoa sa na maqotana,> sau.It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Ba ara ma pojanigou: na tinoni sake vaiputa taviti goboro na maqotana ba sa loa pale goboro, sa sa vababaratia sa na rereko api beto na marene sa nagoa na rereko sa taloa pale api ba sa babarata tugu,>> sau si Jisu.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<<Qu tei nongoroniamiu mutugu agou sa isa pira sau perangana, <Munake tetea na mua maulu, goto muna vagore votua sisa qu maulu laonia tana Bangara,> sau.Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Ba ara ma pojanigou: muke isongo maulu totonai mu roitinia kai taringunguti. Muke maulu lao pa noka, ura isa sa na ona totoqona bangara na Tamasa.But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35Muke maulu lao pa peso, ura isa sa na ona tetetena na nenena isa. Muke maulu lao pa Jerusalema, ura aza na gugusu tana Bangara lavata.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Beto muke maulu lao pa batumu, ura kai lage vurungumu gu ba quke boka vakekai babi vakukudea.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Goto na miu paranga sa mi E gu tonai mi E beto mi Dai gu tonai mi Dai. Goto vei kaki paranga mule muna jokeleniria, poni sa ira na koko veidi gu tana kutana nikerena sira,>> sau si Jisu.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38<<Qu tei nongoroniamiu tugu agou sa isa pira sau perangana, <Isa sa vapalekai na matamu sa mu vapalekai na matana, beto isa sa valovea na mua patu sa mu valovea na ona patu,> sau.You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Ba ara ma pojanigou: muke raja beini ikerena sa na ikerena. Goto bi poaria kai tinoni na papara kale matuamu, sa mu balinga lao vania mule keta pa kale merimu ao.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40Vei bi nyorogua toni lao rajanigo pa vaituti sa kai tinoni ko mi teku variunigo na mua soti biu, sa mu vamalumu vania tugu vei na mua koti ao.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41Vei kai tinoni bi jujukigo ko mu pogoso vania kai maelo biunigo, sa mu tuti pogoso vania karu maelo tu ao.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Na tinoni sa tepago sa mu vania, beto na tinoni sa nyorogua tekua gu mai tamu biu sa muke uku peleni tu,>> sau si Jisu.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43<<Qu tei nongoroniamiu tu agou sa isa pira sau perangana: <Muna roroqua na tavitimu, beto munake tavaraguania na mua kana,> sau.You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Ba ara ma pojanigou sagou: mu roroquria ira na miu kana beto mu vavara tokaniria ira qai komitigou,But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45ko mu tuna na Tamamiu pa noka sagou ura isa na ona tapo sa vaalanganiria ira na tinoni ikeredi beto na tuvisidi beto na okoro sa vagoreniria ira na tinoni jongadi beto ira na seladi.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.

46Ura vei ira gu qai roroqugou sa muna roroquria agou, poni na pinia sa muna tekua? Ira gu na tinoni teteku takisi ba qai bokadia roitinia sisa.If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47Beto vei muna gosoro qeqeraniria ira na miu baere gu sagou, poni sa qu oqoro roitinia kai sa bi goto sagou. Ira gu na tinoni rodomo ba qai bokadia roitinia sisa.And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Ko agou sa mi maladoruru na miu vairoqu vei tugu na Tamamiu pa noka ba sa maladoruru na ona vairoqu,>> sau si Jisu.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
