Matthew 5 (WJA)

1Pu Yesu ko̱ nu̱wa tum ku̱ranga bu̱ri̱ a geero ci̱ngu̱, a si̱n si̱ye̱i̱. Kwati̱mba ya ku̱ranga bu̱ri̱ wo̱ri̱gi̱ yo̱,When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2anda a toso pi̱rgu̱ pmau.and He began to teach them, saying:

3<<Wuure bo̱nggo̱ pma bu so̱m dwal pmai du bawei, lau̱ ku diyou kwii ko̱pi̱nau̱!“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Wuure bo̱nggo̱ pma bu yi̱ bwiyanggu gaanggu̱ wa, Yamba di̱ramanu̱ we̱i̱ pma gaanggu̱!Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Wuure bo̱nggo̱ pma bu yi̱ ci̱ngo̱n dwiu wa, pma ki̱nggu̱ we̱i̱ si̱ma!Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Wuure bo̱nggo̱ pma bu nu̱u̱ ju̱n ni̱nggu̱ pi̱su̱ wu nyaau a gawu̱ri̱ Yambai̱, Yamba yami̱nu̱ we̱i̱ pma biiki pmo ge̱kre̱k!Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Wuure bo̱nggo̱ pma bu nu̱u̱ bunam bu kangga, Yamba nu̱u̱ we̱i̱ bunam pmau!Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Wuure bo̱nggo̱ pma bu yi̱ gaanggu̱ walwal, pma kwe̱e̱ we̱i̱ Yamba!Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Wuure bo̱nggo̱ pma bu te̱ci̱ naapu wa, Yamba yi̱ru̱ we̱i̱ pma ki̱n kwaraa ya!Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Wuure bo̱nggo̱ pma bu nu̱wa turongo pma di̱ngi̱n ni̱ngu̱ pi̱su̱ wu nyaau a gawu̱ri̱ Yambai̱, lau̱ ku diyou kwii ko̱ pmau!Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11<<Wuure bo̱nggo̱ mbi̱ru̱ ka nu̱wa rwe̱e̱mbi̱ri̱, turo mbi̱ri̱ pero ci̱ye̱i̱ kana ko̱no̱ duu yi̱ri̱ tu bwi̱i̱ a dwii mbi̱ri̱ ki̱n di̱ngi̱n bu po̱nggu̱ mu.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Bu ni̱nga bu̱ri̱ de̱gde̱g yi̱ di̱rang gaanggu̱, di̱ngi̱n wo̱ri̱ri̱ mbi̱ri̱ tum a pwii diyou. To̱o̱ tu ni̱ngaman banabi̱ndi̱ su gawu̱ri̱ yi̱ mba.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13<<Bu yo̱o̱gi̱ bi̱makwanaa nu̱wa mwa mwa. Anda ka bi̱makwanaa cwaani bu̱ri̱ yi̱ teng yo̱u̱, nu̱wa puunu we̱i̱ teng yo̱u̱ kwii nye̱? Yo̱ ni̱nga kwe̱ce̱kwe̱ce̱, bur nu̱wa ba par si̱yau̱ si̱ma ba pe̱e̱nga.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<<Bu yo̱o̱gi̱ rangu̱ wu si̱ma mwa mwa. Gwe̱i̱ du mo̱gi̱ dwii ci̱ngu̱ yaa tukuri.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Yaa ne̱re̱ wu ku̱ci̱n bwalau ke̱ndabwala ba summo yi̱ takale̱, anda nu̱wa ce̱nni̱ pu de̱ke̱rge̱r, di̱ngi̱n ba nyi̱i̱ rangu̱ kana we̱ wu laa wii.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.

16Yi̱to̱ mwaasi̱ rang mbi̱ru̱ ba swii bu̱ri̱ bo̱nggo̱ nu̱wau̱, palaka ba ko̱ wu̱rangi̱ mbi̱ri̱ tu nyaayi tu bu ni̱ngi̱, ba te̱re̱nga Mbaa mbi̱re̱ wu diyou.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17<<Bu dangani̱ ya mi̱n n baa palaka n wo̱o̱ si̱ye̱i̱ Te̱e̱re̱ Musa yi̱ yi̱ri̱ng tu banabi̱ndi̱ balai. N baa bu n wo̱o̱ si̱ye̱i̱, anda n twanga.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.

18N wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ ji̱re̱ ko̱po̱ ka diyou yi̱ si̱ma wo̱o̱ri̱ bu̱ri̱, kana go̱n ci̱ye̱i̱ diino, kana jo̱ku̱gu̱ ku banyi̱nau̱, yaa ku wo̱o̱ we̱i̱ bu̱ri̱ mi̱ri̱nggi̱ Te̱e̱ri̱ngi̱ Yambai̱ ko̱po̱ ka yi̱ri̱ngi̱ to̱o̱ mwa mwa ni̱ngdi̱ bu̱ri̱.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.

19Di̱ngi̱n to̱no̱ kana we̱ wu paa te̱e̱re̱ diino du banyi̱nai̱ a mi̱ri̱nggi̱ te̱e̱ri̱ngi̱, pero pi̱r bu kangga ba ni̱nga yi̱to̱, yo̱o̱ we̱i̱ wu banyi̱na a lau̱ ku diyou, anda kana we̱ wu po̱nga pero pi̱ryo̱ yo̱o̱ we̱i̱ wu gi̱ra a lau̱ ku diyou.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.

20N wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ ji̱re̱, ka pi̱su̱ mbi̱r wu nyaau a gawu̱ri̱ Yambau̱ gwala bu ku̱lu̱mba te̱e̱ri̱ngi̱ wa yi̱ Parisayo ne̱, bu te̱mbi̱r lau̱ ku diyou.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21<<Bu nu̱u̱ tu Yamba sa kakaa yiwa nang ki̱n, <Ma ji̱ri̱ ya ne̱re̱, kana we̱ wu ni̱nga, nu̱wa ni̱ngamanu̱ we̱i̱ yo̱ bali̱.>You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Anda n wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ mi̱n: Kana we̱ wu suko yi̱ bago̱n yo̱ nu̱wa ni̱ngamanu̱ we̱i̱ yo̱ bali̱, kana we̱ wu yi̱ bago̱n yo̱ ki̱n, <Ne̱r wu nyo,> nu̱wa de̱r we̱i̱ gawu̱ri̱ bagi̱raa nu̱wa bu Yudaya wa, pero kana we̱ wu yi̱ bago̱n yo̱ ki̱n bapi̱me̱ yannu̱ we̱i̱ par bwalau.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.

23Ka ma wuni nyi̱i̱gu̱ ni̱i̱ Yamba a kwaare̱ anda ma danggi̱ mi̱n bago̱n mo̱ wo̱o̱ yi̱ yi̱ri̱ yi̱ mo̱,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24ma du ni̱i̱ mai a gawu̱ri̱ kwaare̱, ma mwati̱ ma nu̱wanga bago̱n mo̱ anda ma waata ba ma nyi̱i̱ ni̱i̱ mai Yamba.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25<<Ka bace̱n mo̱ de̱r kwaram mo̱ a gi̱re̱ng balu, kasa bu nu̱wanga jo̱r du bu bo̱o̱ nyinou, pu bo̱ bu laman bu laa balu. Ka yi̱to̱ ne̱ de̱mi̱nu̱ we̱i̱ bo̱nggo̱ ne̱re̱ wu ni̱ng bali̱, wii yo̱ wu de̱mi̱nu̱ we̱i̱ bo̱nggo̱ bagi̱raa, pero nu̱wa manmi̱nu̱ we̱i̱ jaru̱m.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.

26N wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱, yaa ku̱ ma twii we̱i̱ pwii, ko̱po̱ ka mo̱ yar kana ca tu nu̱wa mwar mi̱nai̱.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27<<Bu nu̱u̱ tu Yamba ce̱ ki̱n, <Ma ni̱ngi̱ ya taari̱.>You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Anda n sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ mi̱n, kana we̱ wu su̱wa nu̱re̱ yi̱ miyam a gaci̱la ni̱nga taari̱ yi̱ yo̱ a gaanggu̱.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 nung mo̱ wu je̱u̱ diimini we̱i̱ we̱le̱m we̱i̱, ma yikiyo ma man si̱ye̱i̱! Kujang ma yaa bo̱nggo̱ wu kangge̱ a bu̱ri̱ mai yiku bu̱ri̱ mai mwa mwa nu̱wa manmi̱nu̱ we̱i̱ bwalau ku yaa dumdu.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.

30Ka wai mau wu je̱u̱ diimini we̱i̱ we̱le̱m we̱i̱, ma mwari̱ya ma man si̱ye̱i̱! Kujang ma yaa bo̱nggo̱ wu kangge̱ a bu̱ri̱ mai yiku bu̱ri̱ mai mwa mwa nu̱wa mannu̱ we̱i̱ bwalau ku yaa dumdu.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<<Ce̱gi̱ ki̱n, <Kana we̱ ka man nu̱re̱ yo̱ ko̱po̱ ka nyi̱i̱ lakargar jigu laabwiya.>It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Anda yo̱ko̱ n wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ mi̱n, kana we̱ wu man nu̱re̱ yo̱, yaa dwii taari̱ ne̱, a diina nu̱re̱ yo̱ ba ni̱nga we̱le̱m taari̱, pero kana we̱ wu yiki nu̱re̱ wu nu̱wa mana a ni̱nga taari̱.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<<Pero bu nu̱u̱ tu Yamba sa kakaa yiwa nang ki̱n, <Ma ki̱yani̱ ya we̱ra mo̱, anda ma ni̱nga tu ma we̱ranga gawu̱ri̱ Mbaa Wu Gi̱ra.>Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Yo̱ko̱ n sagu̱mbi̱ru̱, bu ni̱ngi̱ ya we̱ra a dwii kana ca. Bu we̱re̱ni̱ ya yi̱ diyou, di̱ngi̱n twii candu̱ Lau̱ Yambau̱But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35kana yi̱ si̱ma pu ce̱nni̱ mwar ye̱i̱, kana yi̱ Wurcalima, di̱ngi̱n twii gwe̱i̱ Balaa wu Gi̱ra.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Bu ni̱ngi̱ ya we̱ra kana yi̱ dwii mai, di̱ngi̱n bu puwi waku̱gu̱ kana ku̱u̱ ku̱ri̱ kiino po̱lo̱ po̱lo̱ kana pitipiti.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Yama <O̱ng,> mbi̱re̱ ba yo̱o̱ <O̱ng,> pero <<Ang Ang,>> mbi̱r ba yo̱o̱ Ang Ang.> Kana ca tu bu ce̱ ka gwal yi̱to̱ a baa bo̱nggo̱ wu bwi̱i̱ye̱ wii.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38<<Bu nu̱wa ce̱gi̱ ki̱n, <Nunge nyan nunge, pero nwii nyan nwii.>You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Anda yo̱ko̱ n sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ mi̱n, ma yari ya gerou bo̱nggo̱ ne̱re̱ ni̱ng tu bwi̱i̱. Ka wu kangge̱ kapa mini dwang mo̱ wu je̱u̱ ma wakaman yo̱ wu kanggi̱ wii mwaasi̱.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40Ka ne̱re̱ wu kangge̱ kasi̱ de̱r kwaram mo̱ a laa balu palaka ba yi̱ya mi̱n cacuwe mau, ma mu̱rman yo̱ gatangamau mwa.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41Ka kana we̱ ki̱ca mi̱n so̱ngma nyan mel wiino ma amna nyan mel ro̱p.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Ka kana we̱ ka senggi yi̱ri̱ bo̱nggo̱ mo̱u̱, ma puwa yo̱, ma jari ya ne̱re̱ wu baa kasi̱gu̱ ci̱ne̱ bo̱nggo̱ mo̱u̱.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43<<Bu nu̱wa ce̱gi̱ ki̱n, <Ma kangman bapun mo̱, ma kwaa bace̱n mo̱.>You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Anda yo̱ko̱ n sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ mi̱n, bu kangman bace̱mba mba, bu ce̱man pma ku̱ru̱ pma bu turo mbi̱r wa,But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45palaka bu yo̱ kwaraa Mbaa mbi̱r wu diyou. Di̱ngi̱n yo̱ diini nyanggu̱ swiiri ne̱re̱ wu bwi̱i̱ye̱ yi̱ ne̱re̱ wu nyaa, pero diini gundu yar man ne̱re̱ wu ni̱ng pi̱su̱ wu nyaau a gawu̱ri̱ Yambai̱ yi̱ pma bu yaa ni̱ng pi̱su̱ wu nyaau a gawu̱ri̱ Yambai̱.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 bu kangman nu̱wa bu kang mbi̱ri̱ wa ti̱bak, wo̱ri̱ri̱ ye̱i̱ ca tu bu ki̱ng we̱i̱? Kana nu̱wa bu yi̱ri̱ janggal wa mwa, ni̱ng yi̱to̱!If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47Anda ka bu ci̱r basi̱mba mba ti̱bak, tu bu ni̱nga twe̱e̱ye̱i̱ ca? Kana nu̱wa bu so̱m bu Yamba wa ni̱ng yi̱to̱!And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Tagi̱ bu si̱ya ci̱maci̱ma ci̱ka ku Mbaa mbi̱re̱ wu diyou ci̱maci̱ma.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
