Matthew 5 (YOR)

1Nígbà tí ó rí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, ó gun orí òkè lọ ó sì jókòó. Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ si tọ̀ ọ́ wá.When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2Ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí kọ́ wọn. Ó wí pé,and He began to teach them, saying:

3“Alábùkún fún ni àwọn òtòṣì ní ẹ̀mí, nítorí tiwọn ni ìjọba ọ̀run.“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Alábùkún fún ni àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀, nítorí a ó tù wọ́n nínú.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Alábùkún fún ni àwọn ọlọ́kàn tútù, nítorí wọn yóò jogún ayé.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Alábùkún fún ni àwọn tí ebi ń pa tí òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ́ nítorí òdodo, nítorí wọn yóò yó.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Alábùkún fún ni àwọn aláàánú, nítorí wọn yóò rí àánú gbà.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Alábùkún fún ni àwọn ọlọ́kàn mímọ́, nítorí wọn yóò rí Ọlọ́run.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Alábùkún fún ni àwọn onílàjà, nítorí ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni a ó máa pè wọ́n.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Alábùkún fún ni àwọn ẹni tí a ṣe inúnibíni sí, nítorí tí wọ́n jẹ́ olódodo nítorí tiwọn ní ìjọba ọ̀run.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11“Alábùkún fún ni ẹ̀yin nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn bá fi àbùkù kàn yín tí wọn bá ṣe inúnibíni sí yín, tiwọn fi ètè èké sọ̀rọ̀ búburú gbogbo sí yín nítorí mi.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Ẹ yọ̀, kí ẹ̀yin sì fò fún ayọ̀, nítorí ńlá ni èrè yín ní ọ̀run, nítorí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣe ṣe inúnibíni sí àwọn wòlíì tí ń bẹ ṣáájú yín.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13“Ẹ̀yin ni iyọ̀ ayé. Ṣùgbọ́n bí iyọ̀ bá di òbu kí ni a ó fi mú un dùn? Kò tún wúlò fún ohunkóhun mọ́, bí kò ṣe pé kí a dàánù, kí ó sì di ohun tí ènìyàn ń fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀.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“Ẹyin ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ ayé. Ìlú tí a tẹ̀dó sórí òkè kò lè fi ara sin.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kì í tan fìtílà tán, kí a sì gbé e sí abẹ́ òsùwọ̀n; bí kò ṣe sí orí ọ̀pá fìtílà, a sì tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún gbogbo ẹni tí ń bẹ nínú ilé.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.

16Bákan náà, ẹ jẹ́ kí ìmọ́lẹ̀ yín kí ó mọ́lẹ̀ níwájú ènìyàn, kí wọ́n lè máa rí iṣẹ́ rere yín, kí wọn lè máa yin baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run lógo.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17“Ẹ má ṣe rò pé, èmí wá láti pa òfin àwọn wòlíì run, èmi kò wá láti pa wọn rẹ́, bí kò ṣe láti mú wọn ṣẹ.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.

18Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún un yín, títí ọ̀run òun ayé yóò fi kọjá, àmì kínkínní tí a fi gègé ṣe kan kì yóò parẹ́ kúrò nínú gbogbo òfin tó wà nínú ìwé òfin títí gbogbo rẹ̀ yóò fi wá sí ìmúṣẹ.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.

19Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó bá rú òfin tí ó tilẹ̀ kéré jùlọ, tí ó sì kọ́ ẹlòmíràn láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, òun ni yóò kéré jùlọ ní ìjọba ọ̀run, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá ń ṣe wọ́n, tí ó sì ń kọ́ wọn, ni yóò jẹ́ ẹni ńlá ní ìjọba ọ̀run.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.

20Nítorí náà ni mo ti wí fún yín pé àfi bí òdodo yín bá ju ti àwọn Farisi àti ti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin lọ, dájúdájú ẹ̀yin kì yóò le wọ ìjọba ọ̀run.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21“Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí a ti wí fún àwọn ará ìgbàanì pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ pànìyàn, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá pànìyàn yóò wà nínú ewu ìdájọ́.’You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún un yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bínú sí arákùnrin rẹ̀ yóò wà nínú ewu ìdájọ́. Ẹnikẹ́ni ti ó ba wí fun arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ráákà,’ yóò fi ara hàn níwájú ìgbìmọ̀ àwọn àgbà Júù; ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá wí pé, ‘Ìwọ wèrè!’ yóò wà nínú ewu iná ọ̀run àpáàdì.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“Nítorí náà, nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń mú ẹ̀bùn rẹ wá síwájú pẹpẹ, bí ìwọ bá sì rántí níbẹ̀ pé arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni ohùn kan nínú sí ọ.So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24Fi ẹ̀bùn rẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú pẹpẹ. Ìwọ kọ́kọ́ lọ ṣe ìlàjà láàrín ìwọ àti arákùnrin rẹ̀ na. Lẹ́yìn náà, wá kí ó sì fi ẹ̀bùn rẹ sílẹ̀.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25“Bá ọ̀tá rẹ làjà kánkán, ẹni tí ó ń gbé ọ lọ sílé ẹjọ́. Ṣe é nígbà ti ó wà ní ọ̀nà pẹ̀lú rẹ, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yóò fà ọ́ lé onídàájọ́ lọ́wọ́, onídàájọ́ yóò sí fá ọ lé àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ lọ́wọ́, wọ́n a sì sọ ọ́ sínú túbú.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.

26Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún ọ, ìwọ kì yóò jáde kúrò níbẹ̀ títí tí ìwọ yóò fi san ẹyọ owó kan tí ó kù.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27“Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí òfin ti wí pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe panṣágà.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Ṣùgbọ́n mo wí fún yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wo obìnrin kan ní ìwòkuwò, ti bà ṣe panṣágà nínú ọkàn rẹ̀.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Bí ojú ọ̀tún rẹ bá mú ọ kọsẹ̀, yọ ọ́ jáde, kí ó sì sọ ọ́ nù. Ó sá à ní èrè fún ọ kí ẹ̀yà ara rẹ kan ṣègbé, ju kí a gbé gbogbo ara rẹ jù sí iná ọ̀run àpáàdì.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.

30Bí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ bá mú ọ kọsẹ̀, gé e kúrò, kí ó sì sọ ọ́ nù. Ó sá à ní èrè kí ẹ̀yà ara rẹ kan ṣègbé ju kí a gbé gbogbo ara rẹ jù sí iná ọ̀run àpáàdì.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“A ti wí pẹ̀lú pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, jẹ́ kí ó fi ìwé ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ lé e lọ́wọ́.’It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Ṣùgbọ́n èmi sọ èyí fún yín pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, láìṣe pé nítorí àgbèrè, ó mú un ṣe àgbèrè, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì gbé ẹni tí a kọ̀ ní ìyàwó, ó ṣe panṣágà.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“Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí a ti wí fún àwọn ará ìgbàanì pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ búra èké bí kò ṣe pé kí ìwọ kí ó mú ìbúra rẹ̀ fún Olúwa ṣẹ.’Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín, ẹ má ṣe búra rárá: ìbá à ṣe fífi ọ̀run búra, nítorí ìtẹ́ Ọlọ́run ni.But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35Tàbí fi ayé búra, nítorí àpótí ìtìsẹ̀ Ọlọ́run ni; tàbí Jerusalẹmu, nítorí olórí ìlú ọba ńlá ni.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Má ṣe fi orí rẹ búra, nítorí ìwọ kò lè sọ irun ẹyọ kan di funfun tàbí di dúdú.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Ẹ jẹ́ kí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yín jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àti bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yín jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ohunkóhun tí ó ba ju ìwọ̀nyí lọ, wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni ibi.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38“Ẹ̀yin tí gbọ́ bí òfin tí wí pé, ‘Ojú fún ojú àti eyín fún eyín.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín pé, ẹ má ṣe tako ẹni ibi. Bí ẹnìkan bá gbá ọ lẹ́rẹ̀kẹ́ ọ̀tún, yí ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́ òsì sí olúwa rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40Bí ẹnìkan bá fẹ́ gbé ọ lọ sílé ẹjọ́, tí ó sì fẹ́ gba ẹ̀wù àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, jọ̀wọ́ agbádá rẹ fún un pẹ̀lú.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41Bí ẹni kan bá fẹ́ fi agbára mú ọ rìn ibùsọ̀ kan, bá a lọ ní ibùsọ̀ méjì.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Fi fún ẹni tí ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó ń fẹ́ wín lọ́wọ́ rẹ, má ṣe mú ojú kúrò.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43“Ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ bí òfin ti wí pé, ‘Ìwọ fẹ́ ọmọnìkejì rẹ, kí ìwọ sì kórìíra ọ̀tá rẹ̀.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Ṣùgbọ́n èmi wí fún yín pé, ẹ fẹ́ràn àwọn ọ̀tá yín kí ẹ sì gbàdúrà fún àwọn tí ń ṣe inúnibíni sí yín.But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45Kí ẹ̀yin lè jẹ́ ọmọ Baba yín ti ń bẹ ní ọ̀run. Ó mú kí oòrùn rẹ̀ ràn sára ènìyàn búburú àti ènìyàn rere, ó rọ̀jò fún àwọn olódodo àti fún àwọn aláìṣòdodo.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.

46Bí ẹ̀yin bá fẹ́ràn àwọn tí ó fẹ́ràn yín nìkan, èrè kí ni ẹ̀yin ní? Àwọn agbowó òde kò ha ń ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́?If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

48Nítorí náà, ẹ jẹ́ pípé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run ṣe jẹ́ pípé.Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
