Matthew 5 (LIN)

1Tango Yesu amonaki ebele yango ya bato, amataki likolo ya ngomba mpe avandaki. Bayekoli na Ye bapusanaki pene na Ye,When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2mpe akomaki kopesa bango malakisi. Alobaki :and He began to teach them, saying:

3« Esengo na babola na molimo, pamba te Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali mpo na bango !“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Esengo na bato oyo bazali kolela, pamba te bakobondisama !Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Esengo na bato na komikitisa, pamba te bakozwa mokili lokola libula !Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Esengo na bato oyo bazali na nzala mpe na posa ya bosembo, pamba te bakotondisama !Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Esengo na bato oyo bayokelaka bato mosusu mawa, pamba te bakoyokela bango mpe mawa !Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Esengo na bato oyo bazali na mitema peto, pamba te bakomona Nzambe !Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Esengo na bato oyo bayeisaka kimia, pamba te bakobengama bana na Nzambe !Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Esengo na bato oyo bazali konyokolama likolo ya bosembo, pamba te Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali mpo na bango !Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Esengo na bino tango bazali kofinga bino, tango bazali konyokola bino, mpe tango bazali kokosela bino makambo ya lolenge nyonso likolo na Ngai !Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Bosepela mpe bozala na esengo, pamba te lifuti na bino ezali monene kati na Likolo ; pamba te ezalaki mpe kaka ndenge wana nde banyokolaki basakoli oyo bazalaki liboso na bino.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13Bozali mungwa ya mokili. Kasi soki mungwa ebungisi elengi na yango, ndenge nini bakokoka lisusu kozongisa elengi na yango ? Ezali lisusu na tina moko te ; etikali kaka eloko ya kobwaka mpe ya konyata.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.

14Bozali pole ya mokili. Engumba oyo batongi na likolo ya ngomba ekoki kobombama te.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Moto moko te apelisaka mwinda mpo na kotia yango na se ya katini ; nzokande, atiaka yango na likolo ya etelemiselo ya minda mpo ete engengisa bato nyonso oyo bazali kati na ndako.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.

16Yango wana, tika ete pole na bino engenga liboso ya bato, mpo ete bamona misala malamu na bino mpe bakumisa Tata na bino oyo azali kati na Likolo.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17Bokanisa te ete Ngai nayaki mpo na kolongola Mobeko to basakoli ; solo, nayaki te mpo na kolongola, kasi nayaki nde mpo na kokokisa.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.

18Pamba te, nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo : liboso ete Likolo mpe mabele elimwa, nkoma moko te oyo eleki moke to litono oyo ezalaka na likolo ya i ekotikala kolongwa kati na Mobeko, kino makambo nyonso ekokisama.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.

19Yango wana, moto nyonso oyo akobuka moko kati na mibeko oyo, ezala oyo eleki moke kati na yango, mpe akoteya bato mosusu kosala bongo, bakozwa ye lokola moto pamba kati na Bokonzi ya Likolo. Kasi moto oyo akotosa mpe akoteya mibeko oyo epai na bato mosusu akozala moto monene kati na Bokonzi ya Likolo.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.

20Pamba te, nazali koloba na bino solo ete soki bosembo na bino liboso ya Mobeko eleki te bosembo ya balakisi ya Mobeko mpe ya Bafarizeo, bokokota te na Bokonzi ya Likolo.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21Boyokaki ete baloba na bakoko na biso : ‹ Okobomaka te. Moto nyonso oyo akoboma moninga na ye asengeli na kosambisama liboso ya basambisi. ›You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Kasi Ngai, nalobi na bino : Moto nyonso oyo akokangela ndeko na ye kanda akosamba na esambiselo liboso ya basambisi ; moto oyo akofinga ndeko na ye : ‹ zoba, › akosamba liboso ya Likita-Monene ; mpe oyo akoloba na ndeko na ye : ‹ moto ya liboma, › akobwakama kati na moto ya lifelo.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.

23Soki ozali kokende kopesa makabo na yo liboso ya etumbelo, mpe ososoli ete ndeko na yo azwa yo na likambo,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24tika makabo na yo liboso ya etumbelo mpe kende nanu koyokana na ndeko na yo wana ; sima na yango nde okoya kopesa makabo na yo.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25Soki moto azwi yo na likambo, yokana na ye noki, wana bozali nanu na nzela ; soki te, akofunda yo epai ya mosambisi, mosambisi akokaba yo na maboko ya bakengeli, mpe bakengeli bakobwaka yo na boloko.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.

26Nazali koloba na yo penza ya solo : okobima na boloko soki kaka ofuti niongo na yo nyonso.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27Boyokaki ete baloba : ‹ Okosalaka ekobo te. ›You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Kasi Ngai, nalobi na bino : Mobali nyonso oyo atali mwasi na makanisi ya kolula ye, asili kosala na ye ekobo kati na motema na ye.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Yango wana, soki liso na yo ya ngambo ya mobali ekweyisaka yo na masumu, longola yango mpe bwaka yango mosika na yo ; pamba te eleki malamu mpo na yo kobungisa eteni moko ya nzoto, na esika ete nzoto na yo mobimba ebwakama na lifelo.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.

30Soki mpe loboko na yo ya ngambo ya mobali ekweyisaka yo na masumu, kata yango mpe bwaka yango mosika na yo ; pamba te eleki malamu mpo na yo kobungisa eteni moko ya nzoto, na esika ete nzoto na yo mobimba ekende na lifelo.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.

31Boyokaki lisusu ete baloba : ‹ Soki mobali akabwani na mwasi na ye, asengeli kopesa ye mokanda ya koboma libala. ›It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino : Mobali nyonso oyo alongoli mwasi na ye na libala, longola kaka soki mwasi yango akweyaki na ekobo, afungoleli ye nzela ya kosala kindumba ; mpe mobali oyo abali mwasi oyo balongola na libala asali mpe ekobo.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.

33Boyokaki lisusu ete baloba na bakoko na biso : ‹ Okolapa ndayi ya lokuta te, kasi kokisa bilaka oyo opesaki na nzela ya ndayi liboso ya Nkolo. ›Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino : bolapaka ndayi te, ezala na kombo ya Likolo, pamba te Likolo ezali Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe,But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35to na kombo ya mokili, pamba te mokili ezali enyatelo makolo ya Nzambe ; to mpe na kombo ya Yelusalemi, pamba te Yelusalemi ezali engumba ya Mokonzi Monene.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Bosalelaka mpe te mito na bino mpo na kolapa ndayi, pamba te bokoki te kokomisa moko kati na suki ya mito na bino pembe to mwindo.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Kasi bolobaka kaka ‹ iyo › soki ezali iyo, mpe ‹ te › soki ezali bongo, pamba te maloba nyonso oyo ebakisamaka likolo ewutaka na Mokosi.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38Boyokaki ete baloba : ‹ Liso mpo na liso, linu mpo na linu. ›You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino : Botelemelaka te moto mabe ; kutu soki abeti yo mbata na litama ya ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, pesa ye mpe litama ya ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40Soki moto alingi kofunda yo mpo na kozwa elamba na yo, pesa ye mpe kazaka na yo.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41Soki moto atindi yo na makasi ete otambola kilometele moko, yo, tambola bakilometele mibale elongo na ye.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Pesa na moto oyo asengi yo, mpe koboya te kodefisa na moto oyo alingi kodefa epai na yo.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43Boyokaki ete baloba : ‹ Linga moninga na yo mpe yina monguna na yo. ›You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino : Bolingaka banguna na bino mpe bosambelaka mpo na bato oyo banyokolaka bino.But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45Na ndenge wana nde bokozala bana ya Tata na bino, oyo azali kati na Likolo, pamba te abimisaka moyi mpo na bato malamu mpe mpo na bato mabe, mpe anokisaka mvula mpo na bato ya sembo mpe mpo na bato oyo bazali sembo te.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.

46Soki bolingaka kaka bato oyo balingaka bino, lifuti nini bokozwa ? Boni, bafutisi mpako basalaka mpe bongo te ?If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47Soki bopesaka mbote kaka na bandeko mibali na bino, likambo nini ya kokamwa oyo bosalaka ? Boni, bapagano basalaka mpe bongo te ?And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Bozala bato ya kokoka ndenge Tata na bino ya Likolo azali ya kokoka.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
