Matthew 5 (MGH2016)

1Yesu ooneke milhoko cha owiittucha awe, nkaawelha vamwaakoni, nkaakhalha. Owiittucha awe nkayaawacha,When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2ni uyo nkaapatakulha malhaku awe nkaachokholha weettuchiha.and He began to teach them, saying:

3“Ahoreeriya attu o nrima unohuvelha uchuwelha nlhove na Nlhuku Ukhalhawaya Imwene ya Nlhuku phi yawaya!”“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4“Ahoreeriya attu anonlha, Ukhalhawaya anomaalhihiya.”Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5“Ahoreeriya attu arii ni nrima wo wiitimarikha, Ukhalhawaya phi nohalha uhiyeriya ilhapo!”Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6“Ahoreeriya attu ammolhiya ithalha ni nttona no upanga chittu chinothanana awe Nlhuku, Ukhalhawaya anowa uwonihiya!”Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7“Ahoreeriya attu o ikiriri, Ukhalhawaya Nlhuku nowa waahiyerera milhatu chaya!”Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8“Ahoreeriya attu o nrima worera, Ukhalhawaya anowa umwoona Nlhuku!”Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9“Ahoreeriya attu aneewananiha attu, Ukhalhawaya anowa wiihaniya ashaana a Nlhuku!”Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10“Ahoreeriya attu anohuvihiya wo nlhatu wo upanga chittu chinothanana awe Nlhuku, Ukhalhawaya Imwene yo wiirimu phi yawaya!”Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11“Nhoreeriya inyu mwaattiva, attu oruwanakani ni uthurulhani ni uwotheriani wo kila iphiro yo unanara wo nlhatu no ukirumelhelha mii.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Nteelhiyeke ni uttapelhelha ukhalhawaya uttuviya winyu uhenchiva wiirimu. Phi chiichammo chaathurulhachiye aya anamilhohi yaari nhinaaya inyu.”Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13“Mwaattiva phi maakha a attu onkhaye. Nansho maakha athuwaka anohalha uchivihani? Khanolhoka tho, yaahikhalhe urihiya vattayani ni unyikalhiya ni attu.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“Mwaattiva phi nthuko wo velhaponi. Iwani ithekiye vachulhu mwaako khineevitha.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Khaawo ntu noparihelha ikhandiri ni ukhunelha ndebe. Nansho ikhandiri inothomeiya vachulhu ikiango, yaamwalhelheke onkhaye ari mpaani.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.

16Chiichammo etu, nthuko inyu unothananiya umwalhieke mwaattuni, attu oone meetelho inyu oombone, wiira aavahe nthimicho Athumwaninyu ari wiirimu.”In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17“Nhaanyihere wiira kiwiilhe uchiichiha Malhehero a ashinna Musa ni ikano cha anamilhohi. Akiwiilhe uchiichiha, nansho uhimiechesha.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.

18Kinouhimeriani we ikekhiaye wiira mpaka irimu ni ilhapo vanohalha aya uvira, khiiwo inakhalhaka inukuta imoka ama vakittu vakani chinene nhina Malhehero a ashinna Musa, vanohalha uwukulhiya mpaka onkhaye vanohalha aya uphiyelha.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.

19Paahi etu, ntu riyoothe nolhoha uhiya nlheheriyo nimoka nikani upwaha onkhaye, ni weettuchiha attu akina apange chiicho, yoyo nowa waalhakelhiya mwankani nhina Imwene yo wiirimu. Nansho nolhoha uvara ni weettuchiha attu akina yoyo nookhalha mulhupalhe mu Imwene yo wiirimu.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.

20Paahi kinouhimeriani, ikekhia inyu yaahipwaheke ulhoka wa Amafarisayo, ni attu owiittuchiha Malhehero khannowa mwaakelha mena nhina Imwene yo wiirimu.”For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21Nhomalha wiiwa wiira attu o khalhayi yeerelhiye, “Nhiive, nolhoha wiiva nohukumulhiya.”You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Nansho mii vano kinouhimeriani wiira, ntu riyoothe nonthunanelha mmuchi awe yoyo arweehiye umilhatuni ahukumulhiye. Ntu nolhoha umwiirelha munnawe, Khannolhoka inyu! Yoyo arweehiyeke umilhatuni wulhupalhe, ni uyo hechatameriha umooroni Ujehannamu.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.

23Mwarweehaka isadaka umadhubahuni uno muupuwelhaka wiira nhima inyu rii ni nlhove ni inyu,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24nhiyeke isadaka inyu umadhubahuni nhokolhieke thoko mwamwiwanane nhima inyu, vavawo mmweeke tho ni ukumiha ishaani inyu.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25Mmwiiwananeke ntu muntekenlhe inyu nhinaphiya umilhatuni. Mwaphiyaka wowo nhineewanana nowa uuhelhani mmathathani mwa attu o uhukumulha, ni ayo anowaavaha manyaasikari anaattuka attu, mwattukiye.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.

26Kinouhimeriani wo ikekhiaye, wowo khannokhuma mpaka nholhiva nchurukhu wo umalhihera nlhatu winyu.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27“Nheewa wiira attu yeerelhiye ‘Nhilhuve!’You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Nansho mii kinouhimeriani, ntu nommweha nthiyana wonthanana, honlhuvana munrimani mwawe.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Paahi etu niitho ninyu no wiimonono nottekihakani, nkhulheke ni urihelha uwo shoro! Nambaya chinene uhikhalha ni itturi imoka mwiiruttuni mwinyu, iruttu yonkhaye ihiwe yaarihiya umooroni.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.

30Ni moono inyu wo wiimonono wo uttekihakani, ntupulheke ni urihelha utayi! Nambaya mpoterihe itturi imoka mwiiruttuni mwinyu, iruttu inyu ihiwe yaatikhelhiya yonkhaye umooroni Ujehannamu.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“Tho, yaheeriya wiira, ‘ntu naahiya ahanu awe, aavaheke italaka yo umwalhaana.’It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Nansho mii kinouhimeriani wiira ntu aahiyaka ahanu awe ni waavaha italaka yo umwalhaana vahirii nlhatu no ulhavalhava, haalhavalhaviha, ni ntu nottuna waathelha ni uyo holhavalhava.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“Tho nheewa wiira attu o khalhayi yeerelhiye ‘Nhilhiyalhe ulhupelha winyu, nansho ntimiriheke naapo ninyu wa Athithi.’Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Nansho mii kinowirelhani nna, nhilhupelhe irimu, ukhalhawaya phi ihiche ya Nlhuku,But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35mena wo ilhapo, ukhalhawaya phi nipuro chineesha aya mieto chaya, mena wo Uyerusalemu, ukhalhawaya phi iwani ya Amwene olhupalhe.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Nhilhupelhe wo muru inyu, ukhalhawaya khannoria uthathusha ikharari inyu imoka ukhalha ipwii ama yooripa.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Mweeraka ‘Eiyo’ ikhalheke ‘Eiyo!’ Mweeraka ‘Kachihena’ ikhalheke ‘Kachihena.’ Ittu iriyoothe yo upwaha yayo inokhuma wa Nakare.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38“Nheewa yeeriye wiira ‘Niitho wo niitho ni niino wo niino.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Nansho mii kinouhimeriani wiira nhinhokolhoshere ntu no upangelhani cho uhilhoka. Ntu riyoothe o watakani nrama no wilhopwana, munrukunushelheke nikina no wiimushi nno.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40Ni ntu riyoothe o urwehakani uhukumulhiyani athananaka uuthurulhani mwinjiro winyu, munhiyereke awieke ni nikoti ninyu.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41Ni ntu okhanyererihakani wiira munkushere nsigo awe nkwaha wo imaili imoka, munrwaaneke imaili pilhi.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Ntu noovekelhani ittu mummaheke, nowaashimani ittu mmwaashimeke.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43“Nheewa wiira yeeriye, ‘Munttuneke mmuchi inyu ni waavenga amalhaponi inyu.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Nansho mii kinolhelhani wiira mwaattuneke amalhaponi inyu ni waalhapelhelha attu anowomolhani mwaattiva,But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45mmwe mwaakhalha ashaana a Athumwaninyu ari wiirimu. Ukhalhawaya yayo phi naapharelhiha nchuwa naya attu o uhilhoka ni attu o nrima woombone ni waarupelha ipulha attu oombone ni attu o unanara mirima.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.

46Chani Nlhuku nolhoha uttuvani ittu yaani wo waattuna attu anouttunani vekha aya? Ata attu anolhiviha ikhodi aneera chiicho!If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47Mwaakohachaka ashilhoko inyu vekha aya, chani vavawo nhopanga ittu yo ulhoka? Ata attu ahinchuwenlhe Nlhuku ni ayo anopanga chiichammo!And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Paahi etu nkhalheke o wiiraniha thoko Athumwanihu o wiirimu chiri aya!Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
