Matthew 5 (LUO)

1Koro kane oneno oganda maduongʼ, nodhi e bath got mi obet piny. Jopuonjrene nobiro ire,When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2kendo nochako puonjogi. Nowachonegi niya,and He began to teach them, saying:

3“Joma odhier gie chunygi gin joma ogwedhi, nimar pinyruodh polo en margi.“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Joma ywak gin joma ogwedhi, nimar ibiro hoyogi.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Joma muol gin joma ogwedhi nimar piny nobed girkeni margi.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Ogwedh jogo makech kayo kendo riyo mar tim makare oloyo, nimar gibiro yiengʼ.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Joma kecho ji gin joma ogwedhi, nimar ibiro kechgi.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Jomaler gie chunygi gin joma ogwedhi, nimar ginine Nyasaye.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Joma kelo kwe gin joma ogwedhi, nimar noluong-gi ni nyithind Nyasaye.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Joma isando nikech tim makare gin joma ogwedhi, nimar pinyruodh polo en margi.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11“Un joma ogwedhi ka ji yanyou kendo sandou kendo hangonu wach ni usetimo kit gik maricho duto nikech an.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Beduru mamor kendo moil, nikech poku duongʼ e polo, nimar jonabi mane okwongonu bende negisando mana kamano.”Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13“Un e chumbi mar piny. To chumbi ka ndhathe orumo, to ere kaka dimiye obed gi ndhathe kendo? Koro onge konyruok mokelo, makmana ni ipuke oko kendo ji nyone piny gi tiendegi.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“Un e ler mar piny. Dala matin moger ewi thur ok nyal pandi.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Kamano bende, ji ok mok taya bangʼe giume gi bakul. Kar timo kamano to gikete ewi rachungi taya kendo ochiwo ler ne ji duto mantiere ei ot.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.

16Un bende timuru kamano. Neuru ni ler maru rieny e dier ji, mondo gine timbeu mabeyo kendo gipak Wuonu manie polo.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17“Kik upar ni asebiro mondo aketh Chik kata Jonabi. Ok asebiro mondo akethgi, to asebiro mar chopogi.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.

18Awachonu adier ni nyaka chop chiengʼ ma polo gi piny nolal nono, onge nukta matinie mogik kata kido moro amora mar kalam manolal kuom Chik, nyaka gik moko duto chop kargi.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.

19Ngʼato angʼata moketho achiel kuom chike matindoe mogik kuom Chikegi, kendo mopuonjo joma moko mondo otim kamano, nokaw kaka ngʼat matinie mogik e pinyruodh polo, to ngʼato angʼata maluwo kendo puonjo ji chikegi nokaw kaka ngʼama duongʼ e pinyruodh polo.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.

20Nimar awachonu ni ka ok ber maru oyombo mano mar jo-Farisai gi mar jopuonj chik to ok unudonji e pinyruodh polo ngangʼ.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21“Usewinjo ni ne owach ne joma chon ni, ‘Kik ineki, kendo ngʼato angʼata moneko ibiro ngʼadne bura.’You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Anto anyisou ni ngʼato angʼata ma mirima omako gi nyawadgi ibiro ngʼadne bura. Bende, ngʼato angʼata mowachone nyawadgi ni, ‘Raka,’ ma tiende ni ifuwo, nyaka yal e buch jo-Sanhedrin. To ngʼato angʼata mowacho ni, ‘Ifuwo nade,’ biro neno chandruok mar mach mar Gehena.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“Kuom mano, ka ichiwo michni e nyim kendo mar misango to iparo ka in kanyo ni nyawadu ni kodi gi wach,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24to we michnino piny kanyo e nyim kendo mar misango. Kuong idhi ilos kindi gi nyawadu; eka ibi ichiw michni.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25“Los weche piyo piyo gi ngʼama odonjoni madwa teri e od bura. Tim kamano kapod un kode e yo, nono to onyalo keti e lwet jangʼad bura to jangʼad bura nyalo keti e lwet askari, kendo inyalo boli e od twech.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.

26Awachoni adier ni ok niwuog oko nyaka ichul faini duto monego ichul ma ok orem kata ndururu.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27“Usewinjo ni ne owach ni, ‘Kik iterri.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Anto anyisou ni ngʼato angʼata morango dhako gi gombo oseterore kode gi ei chunye.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Ka wangʼi ma korachwich miyo itimo richo to lodhe oko kendo iwite. Ber moloyo ka iwito fuon-ni achiel mar ringri moloyo ka ringri duto owiti e gehena.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.

30Kamano bende ka lweti ma korachwich miyo itimo richo, to ngʼade oko iwite. Ber moloyo ka iwito fuon-ni achiel moloyo ka ringri duto odhi e gehena.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“Osewachi ni, ngʼato angʼata moketho keny gi chiege nyaka miye barup weruok mar ketho keny.It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32An to awachonu ni ngʼato angʼata moriembo chiege nikech wach moro amora makmana richo mar terruok, miyo chiegeno donjo e richo mar terruok, kendo ngʼato angʼata mokendo dhako makamano bende donjo e richo mar terruok.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“Usewinjo bende ni nowachi ni, ‘Kik iketh kwongʼruok, to riti kwongʼruok moro amora misetimone Ruoth Nyasaye.’Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Anto anyisou ni kik ukwongʼru kata matin: Kik ukwongʼru gi polo nimar en e kom loch mar Nyasaye;But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35kata gi piny, nimar en e raten tiende; kata gi Jerusalem, nikech en e dala maduongʼ mar Ruoth Maduongʼ.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Kendo kik ukwongʼru gi wiu, nikech ok unyal loko yie wich achiel bedo marachar kata maratengʼ.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Neuru ni ‘Ee maru’ obedo ‘Ee,’ kendo ‘Ooyo’ obedo ‘Ooyo.’ Gimoro amora mopogore gimaa en gima oa kuom ngʼat marach.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38“Usewinjo ni nowachi ni, ‘Wangʼ kar wangʼ kendo lak kar lak.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Anto anyisou ni kik utam ngʼat marach timo gima odwaro timo. Ka ngʼato othalo lembi ma korachwich to lokne komachielo bende,But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40kendo ka ngʼato dwaro yalo kodi mondo okaw lawi mar akor to wene kotini bende.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41Ka ngʼato ochuni mondo ikowe kilomita achiel gi nus to dhi kode kilomita adek.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Ka ngʼato okwayi gimoro to miyeuru, kendo kik ilok kiti ne ngʼat madwaro ni ihole gimoro.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43“Usewinjo ni nowachi ni, ‘Her wadu to jasiki to isin-go.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Anto awachonu kama: Heruru wasiku kendo lamuru ne joma sandou,But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45mondo eka ubed yawuot Wuonu manie polo. En omiyo chiengʼ mare wuok ni joma richo gi joma beyo machalre, kendo ooro koth ne joma kare gi joma ok kare.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.

46Ka uhero mana joma oherou kende, to pok mane muyudo? Donge kata josol osuru bende timo mano?If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47To ka umoso mana oweteu kende to en angʼo mutimo moloyo joma moko? Donge kata jopiny bende timo kamano?And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Kuom mano, beduru malongʼo chuth mana kaka Wuonu manie polo longʼo chuth.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
