Matthew 5 (YOM)

1Yesu bu kamona nkangu wu batu wukuma va mbata mongo, wuvuanda. Minlonguki miandi mikutakana va kaba.When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2Bosi wutona kuba longa. Wutuba :and He began to teach them, saying:

3Khini kuidi minsukami mu Pheve, bila bawu bavuidi Kipfumu ki Diyilu.“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Khini kuidi bawu bandila bila bela bombo.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Khini kuidi bawu badi mintima milembama, bila bawu bela vinginina ntoto.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Khini kuidi bawu beta monanga tsatu ayi phuila yi mambu masonga, bila bela yukutusu.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Khini kuidi bawu badi mintima mi kiadi, bila bela kuba mona kiadi.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Khini kuidi bawu badi mintima mivedila, bila bela mona Nzambi.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Khini kuidi bawu beti tula ndembama, bila bela tedolo bana ba Nzambi.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Khini kuidi bawu beta yamusu mu diambu di busonga, bila bawu bavuidi Kipfumu ki Diyilu.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Khini kuidi beno enati bakulufinganga, enati bakulu yamisanga ayi enati bakuluvuninanga mambu mambimbi ma phila mu phila mu diambu diama.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Lumona kueno khini, lusakadala bila mfutu wunneni wukuluvingila ku Diyilu. Luzaba mboti ti mimbikudi mi lutuamina mamvawu bobo bayamusulu.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13—Beno luidi tsalu yi ntoto. Enati tsalu yizimbisidi lueki luandi, mu mbi balenda diaka vutudila lueki beni ? Kadi mfunu yisiedi ko, bafueti kuyiloza ku nganda ayi batu bafueti yidiata.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.

14Beno luidi muinda wu nza, divula diodi didi va yilu mongo, dilendi suama ko.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Enati balemisini muinda, bawu tulanga ku tsi katini ko, vayi va yilu meza muingi wumonisa kiezila kuidi batu boso badi mu nzo.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.

16Diawu bika kiezila kieno kilezimina bobo vadi batu muingi bamona mavanga meno mamboti ayi muingi bakembisa Dise dieno didi ku Diyilu.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17—Lubika yindula ti ndiyiza mu diambu di vonda Mina voti mu diambu di vonda malongi ma mimbikudi. Ndisia kuiza ku vonda ko vayi ndiyiza mu diambu di dukisa miawu.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.

18Bila bukiedika ndikulukamba : sumbu Diyilu ayi ntoto bikidi zingi buna kadi kima kimosi kilendi botolo ko mu Mina ; ka diambu ko sono kimosi kifioti. Vayi nate mamoso mela vangama.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.

19Diawu woso mutu weta bundula muina wawu wumosi wufioti ayi wela longa batu bavanga buawu, wela monika mutu wukhioki mu Kipfumu ki Diyilu. Vayi woso mutu wunlonganga Mina mi Nzambi ayi weta misadila, wela monika mutu wunneni mu Kipfumu ki Diyilu.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.

20Bila ndikulukamba enati busonga bueno bukadi viatuka bobo bu Bafalisi ayi bu Minsoniki mi Mina, buna lulendi kota ko mu Kipfumu ki Diyilu.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21—Luwa ti bakamba kuidi bakulu beto ti : kadi vonda mutu bila woso wela vonda mutu wela samba va ntuala mazuzi.You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Vayi minu ndikulukamba : woso mutu wumfuemina ndiandi wela samba va ntuala mazuzi. Woso mutu wumfinga ndiandi ti : “vungisi”, wela samba na ntuala lukutukunu lu bapfumu banganga Nzambi, ayi woso mutu wunfinga ndiandi ti widi “dilawu” mboti mu kunloza ku mbazu yi bulungi.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.

23Enati telimini ku kuma mu vana makaba, ayi tebukidi moyo ti diambu khombꞌaku kabeki,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24bika makaba maku vana ntuala, kuma, yenda teka dedikisa ayi khombꞌaku bosi yiza vani makaba maku kuidi Nzambi.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25Enati mutu wubeki mambu vika wizana ayi niandi bu lukidi mu nzila bila niandi kufunda kuidi zuzi, zuzi maka tuma masodi muingi matula mu nloko.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.

26Bukiedika ndikukamba ti mawu kala kaka muna nloko nate wumana futa zimbongo zioso.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27—Luwa ti ditubu : kadi vanga kitsuza.You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Vayi minu ndikulukamba ti woso wuntala nketo mu kunzinina, buna vengi yandi kitsuza mu ntimꞌandi.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Diawu enati dieso diaku, di lubakala Dilembo kuvodisa masumu, mboti mu kudidovula ayi ku diloza thama. Bila bulutidi mboti kuidi ngeyo mu kambu nama kimosi ki nituꞌaku ayi mu tala nitu aku yimvimba yilozama ku bulungi.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.

30Bosi enati koko kuaku, ku lubakala, kulembo kuvodisa masumu, mboti wukuzenga ayi wukuloza thama, bila bulutidi mboti kuidi ngeyo mu kambu nama kimosi ki nituꞌaku ayi mu tala nitu aku yimvimba yilozama ku bulungi.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—Bakamba diaka : “Woso mutu botudi nketo andi buna bufueni kamvana nkanda wu kimbangi wumonisa ti vondidi dikuela.”It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Vayi minu ndikulukamba : woso bakala wumvambana ayi nketo andi, bika sia ti mu diambu di kitsuza, buna niandi wunyekudi mu vanga kitsuza. Ayi woso wunkuela nketo wowo mamvandi vengi kitsuza.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—Luwa diaka ti bakamba kuidi bakulu beto : “kadi vonda ndefi wuleva, vayi dukisa ndefi wuvana Pfumu.”Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Minu ndikulukamba lubika kueno levanga ndefi. Kadi levilanga ndefi mu “dizina di Diyilu” bila Diyilu diawu kundu ki Nzambi.But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35Lubika levilanga ndefi mu dizina di ntoto bila va ntoto vawu Nzambi keti tetika malu mandi. Lubika levilanga ndefi mu dizina di Yelusalemi bila diawu divula di Ntinu wunneni.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Kadi levilanga ndefi va “ntuꞌaku” bila kulendi kitula lusuki lumosi phembi ko voti ndombi ko.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Bika lutubanga kaka “Nyinga” bu lufueti tuba nyinga ayi “nana” bu lufueti tuba nana. Bila mambu moso meti buelama va yilu kuidi Satana meti ba.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38—Luwa bu bakamba : “Enati mutu tobudi dieso di ndiandi, niandi mamvandi bafueti tobula dieso diandi ; enati mutu kodidi dieno di ndiandi, niandi mamvandi bafueti kola diano diandi.”You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Vayi minu ndikulukamba : —Lubika kakidila mutu tidi kuvangila mambimbi ! Enati bazubidi mbata mu luvenga lumosi, wuntambika diaka luvenga lunkaka.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40Enati mutu tidi kufunda ayi ziona kikhutu kiaku, buna wunyekudila ayi yunga kiaku.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41Enati mutu wukuikidi wudiata yandi mu tezo ki kilometele kimosi, ngeyo buela diati yandi mu tezo ki bikilometele biodi.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Vana kuidi mutu wowo wukulomba ayi kadi yimina mutu wowo wunzola deva kuidi ngeyo.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43—Luwa ti bakamba : “zolanga ndiaku ayi lendanga mbeni aku”You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Vayi minu ndikulukamba : Luzola bambeni beno ! Lusambidila bobo bakuluyamisanga !But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45Buawu bobo luela bela bana bakiedika ba Dise dieno didi ku Diyilu. Bila niandi weta kienzudila thangu andi kuidi batu bambimbi ayi batu bamboti ; weta nokisa mvula kuidi batu basonga ayi kuidi bobo bakambulu basonga.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.

46Enati lueta zola bobawu beta kuluzola, buna mbi mfutu lumbaka ? Bila mimfutisi mi ziphaku mamvawu beta bu vanga.If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47Enati lueta vana kaka mboti kuidi bakhomba zieno, buna diambu mbi diviatukidi lumvanga e ? Keti Bapakanu mamvawu beti bu vanga.And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Vayi beno bufueni luba batu bafuana banga buididi Dise dieno widi ku Diyilu widi wufuana.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
