Matthew 5 (XSN)

1Nangka Yeso ka laka aromo ane kurkǝnǝng, naka zale oyara aa ka cikǝ a saname. Na atoma kai deya kai,When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2aka bore o baala one na.and He began to teach them, saying:

3“Ana okona olebaa aromo aaka ne rose o sawa one a nyimi o tare Ashili, aza o bena togomo te shili taate nea te.“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Ana okona oleba ana o caro anyong, ayo nata ne anyong.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Ana okona olebaa ana o nata ukpwei, lerambo leena yo itǝ lalene.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Ana okona olebaa andaaka neya kona ekomo ka lewe le cikǝ o sangsang, obena neyo tiyǝ.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Ana okona olebaa andaaka ne kone egonegone, ayo wore ne egonegone.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Ana okona olebaa andaaka neya sangsang a nyimia nyong, obena neyo laka Ashili.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Ana okona olebaa andaaka ne gere o cikǝ o cammo, obena ayo rara ne na ayana Ashili.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Ana okona olebaa andaaka a nyana ne azaa be sangsang bene, obena togomo te shili taa tene te.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Ana okona olebaa ying awere aka aromo ne eske ying, ane nyalang ka ying ane kang beya kombela rendaza ma buru aza oying, obena ying e tareng.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Konana oleba e zante ajǝng, o bena bengmǝ bee ying yo gongha aa cak azaa shili, nyimia aromome ne gǝǝzǝ ana obeya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili kane kaana ying.”Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13Yingnga ogalu makeke maana. A ogalu wa arnang ka olento owai, eya ayo ya ka wa kang olento? Wa itǝ wata kang ya ka edang ne, soona a oke wai a itǝzǝ ne.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.

14Yingnga masanto ma lerambo. Apeng aka a sowa ai azaa ka zalo, a era ta baasa ne.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Nyimi a aromo ne era neta diki beru be masanto aa ne pate be ka oso ne. Seena eke be ara azaati o eese be, nangka beyo nya pate aromo akwilǝ me masanto.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.

16Nyimi a kangza bayana ee itǝ ana masanto a aromo, adorana nee laka teweno teying te rere ka eya ezame, aa ne sabe Ate aying ooka waya nyimi azaa shili.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17Tane laka na ma deya kang dinggi makili ma Mosa ka ewela ana obeya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili. Anta ma deya kang dinggi ne soona ang panza mai.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.

18Eyang dongdong bele oying, azaa shili ka makeke maana yo maro, otengke o baate ewela makili ma Mosa wato maro ne, seeka a panza ekeeya apat.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.

19A zaa nyimi pate ondooka wa cakate o yende o kala a bebaate a nyimi makili ma Ashili maana, aa wa baale ana ondo na neye nyimi, ayo beka ondo me na wa kala be baate a nyimia togomo te o zaa shili. Ondooka wa tare mai kangza aa wa baale ana ondo o tare o mai, ayo rara wai na ondo ogong a togomo te shili.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.

20Eyang baalo ying eta kala ana obaala angmǝ ka Ashili anya Mosa ka maParisa aa eza epa e sangsang ne, eto lyǝ a togomo te ozaa shili ne.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21“E kone obena a beka aromo ko rabo na, ‘Tano wong ondo ne, pate ondooka wa wongngha ondo, ayo gǝǝzǝ wai.’You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Mi eyang bele oying, ondooka wa munggi ka arone wai, ayo gǝǝzǝ wai. Ondooka wa rare arone wai na, eta ka edang ne, ayo ale ka wai ara o cora angmǝ. Komana kangza wa rare arone wai na, eta ka edang ne, wa itǝ kap ka akwilǝ ola.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“Nyimia kangza, baya nya Ashili eyapa a nyimi akwilǝ ai ara o esaza Ashili mapapa ma owaze, o ringtǝ o bena arone au neye ka bo a lenyong,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24baya epaaka oya nya Ashili a ting ara o esaza Ashili mapapa mo waze. Bora ka o ale ka o babare kane, o ama o de ka onya Ashili epaaka baaya nyame.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25Ondo wa ale ka bo ara o cora angmǝ, yangkanna a saseya ka ebabare ka wai e tata o orona o ale zongka e dukǝ. Bata ya nyimi ne, wayo gwaarau ka ondoo cora angmǝ, aa ondoo cora angmǝ kangza wayo gwaarau ka ana o tesa geza ka a pateo a akwilǝ andaleme.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.

26Ang dongdong bele o epeng, zongka o sǝǝrǝu arakaname, seena ba are pate emate eeka ataro.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27“Ba kone a bekaana, ‘Tana o eze leyau ne.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Eyang beya ying na, pate ondooka wa gonta ondaaye, kawa kone o eza leyau ka wai, wa samba o eza me ka wai naname a nyimi lenyong le wai.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Liizi le oree leo leeyo ote ka o rizi, lopa le ka o pere. Mara o dere sara yende a lepung leo ko bena a tare pate lepung leo a nyimi akwilǝ ola.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.

30O ara oree wa ote ka o rizi, core wai ka o pere. Mara o dere sara yende a lepung leo ko bena a tare pate lepung leo a nyimi akwilǝ ola.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“Akang samba obena, ‘Ondooka wa pere ondaaye wai, awa dongdong nya wai ewela o pere o awai.It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Aa maa bekaa ying na pate ondooka wa pere ondaaye wai, aa wata wa meke wai ka leyau ne, wa ote wai orona o leyau naname, kangza pate ondooka wa ana wai, wa eza leyau naname.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“Kangza, ekone a samba o bekea aromo ko rabo na, ‘Tana o tono a rendaza ne, o eze epaaka ba tono ne aa begeshe Ateokora.’Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Mi eyang beya yingna, tana e tono dakememe ne, ka azaa shili, obena arakanamea lǝdǝngdǝ le Ashili zene,But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35nyimia tane tono ka adeze ne, arakaname Ashili eeshe tobona te ai ne, koona ka Urushalima obena aya apeng ogomo ogong.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Kangza tana otono ka ukpwei o ne, azaa obena ba era ota ote lepkwai le yende kale itǝ leepeng koona leebo ne.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Pate epaaka wa gwara o beke belle eya ‘Eeye’ koona ‘Aa,’ eyapa e kala nyimi, e surea ara ondoo burua.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38“E kone a samba o bekaa me na, ‘Liizi a bengmǝ be liizi, a liini a bengmǝ be liini.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Na mi eyang beya ying na, tana enyane ondoo eza oying epa eburu ne. Ondo wa tabau a letamo lo ore wanggare wai lo guri kawa tabe kangza.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40Ondo wa ale ka bo ara o cora angmǝ ka wa jeke odibi o, nya wai ulǝ o urnǝzǝ o kangza.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41A ondo wa oteu na o eze teweno te omele yende, o ale ka wai o mamele maleere.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Ondo wa bosa eyapa abo, o nya wai. Ondo kangza wa deya aa kope eyapa abo, tana o nare wai ne.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43“E kone a samba o bekaa na, ‘Yeme ondooka waya ating o, o nyane ondooka wata yeme oo ne.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44A mi eyang beya aying na, yeme na ana o nyana oying e bosazana Ashili azaa andaaka ne gǝǝzǝ ying,But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45adorana e itǝ ayana Ate aying o zaa shili. Ondooka wa oteze ongme ka wa ye masanto ara ana edang kaa ana o dera edang, awa kang deesa ka olyi ara ana nyong a sangsang ka ana nyong a buru.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.

46Ba yeme ana o yeme owa belle, aya taasa o ka eya? Ana o eesa emate makeke kaa ana madinǝ, nyimia ne ezeze.If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47Ba beeza aromo au okoo belle, eya o ezeze erere ke kala ena ondo? Andaame maYahuda taza ne nyimia ne ezeze.And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Azaa nyimi, itǝ na ana edang nangka Ate aying o zaa shili waye ka edang.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
