Matthew 5 (ZAJP)

1Yesu viyadiwene didale da wanhu, kakwela hakigongo, kakala hasi. Wanahina zake wamcholela,When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

2na heyo kasonga kuwafundiza.and He began to teach them, saying:

3“Wamota waja wakumbulu wa loho, kwavija Undewa wa Kuulanga uli wao!“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Wamota waja wose wali na giogio, kwavija wobwezigwa imioyo!Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Wamota waja wali na mioyo iholile, kwavija woihala isi!Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Wamota waja wose wali na nzala na ng'hilu ya kutenda ganogile, kwavija wokwigutizwa!Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Wamota wali na bazi, kwavija wokonelwa bazi!Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Wamota wali na mioyo ing'alile, kwavija womona Mulungu!Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Wamota wagombelezi, kwavija wokemigwa wana wa Mulungu!Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Wamota awo wogazigwa sama ya kutenda ganogile, kwavija Undewa wa Kuulanga uli wao!Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11“Mmota mweye haja wanhu wahawaliga, na kuwagaza, na kuwavwizila mbuli zose zihile sama yangu.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

12Deng'heleleni na kutoa ng'henze, kwavija nhunza yenu yowa ng'hulu kuulanga. Kwavija vino vivo wagazigwe wahokozi wawalongole.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

13“Mweye iwo munyu wa isi. Ila munyu uhagiza kilandu chake, vodahikaze kuutenda unoge kabili? Haunoga mkinhu chochose, ila wokwasigwa hanze na kubojagwa na wanhu.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“Mweye iwo mulangaza wa ulumwengu mokoneka na wanhu wose, kamba viwodaha kuwona mulangaza wa wambo dizengigwe hakigongo.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Haduhu munhu yobwinha kiwenge na kukigubika na kinongo. Ila kokika uchana hakingolobweda, giladi kimmwemwesele kila munhu yali mng'anda.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.

16Vivo na mweye, mulangaza wenu umwemwese haulongozi wa wanhu, giladi wone sang'hano zenu zinogile, na hewo wamuyenzi Tata wenu wa kuulanga.In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

17“Sambimgelegeze kamba niza kugatengula Malagizo ga Musa na mafundo ga wahokozi, ila kugavikiza.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.

18Nowalongela ikweli, mbaka ulanga na isi vondavisegele, haduhu hata helufi imwe ndodo kulawa Mmalagizo ga Musa yondaisegezigwe mbaka mbuli zose zivikile.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.

19Avo, munhu yoyose yoleka kutenda ndagizi imwe ili ndodo, na kuwafundiza wanhu sambiwaitende, munhu iyo kokemigwa mdodo muna Undewa wa Kuulanga. Ila munhu yoyose yondayazitende ndagizi zino na kuzifundiza, munhu iyo kokemigwa mkulu muna Undewa wa Kuulanga.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.

20Kwavija nowalongela, mbuli zenu zilibule uzenzeleganye zihaleka kuzibanza zija za Mafalisayo na wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa, hamdaha kwingila Muundewa wa Kuulanga.For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

21“Muhulika kamba wanhu wa umwaka viwalongeligwe, ‘Sambiukome, na yoyose yondayatende avo kotagusigwa.’You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22Ila nie nowalongela, munhu yoyose yomonela lusango ndugu yake kotagusigwa, na munhu yoyose yomuliga ndugu yake kolondigwa yagaligwe Kukitala Kikulu cha Isi ya Wayahudi, na munhu yoyose yolonga, ‘Gweye kwa m'bozi’ ka mdihekaheka da kwingila hana umoto wa kuzimu.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.

23Avo, kamba uhalonda kulava nhunza yako hana ikilingo cha kulavila nhosa, na kukumbukila kamba kuna mbuli na ndugu yako,So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

24ileke nhunza yako haulongozi wa ikilingo cha kulavila nhosa, tanhu genda mkailumbe na ndugu yako, abaho, leka ubwele uilave nhunza yako.leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25“Ilumbe hima na munhu yokutagusa, kipigiti mng'hali mnzila mchola kukitala, giladi sambiyakugale ha mulamula, na mulamula yakugele mmakono ga wemilizi, na wemilizi wakugele mkifungo.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.

26Nokulongela ikweli, hulawa himo mbaka ulihe deni jako jose.Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

27“Muhulika kamba ilongwa, ‘Sambiutende ugoni.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

28Ila nie nowalongela, munhu yoyose yomulola mtwanzi mkumsulukila, kesha kutenda nayo ugoni mmoyo wake.But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29Avo kamba siso jako da ukulume dokutenda utende vilozo, ding'ole ujase kutali nagwe! Vinoga kumwako kwagiza kipindi kimwe cha lukuli lwako kubanza lukuli lwako lose lwasigwe kuzimu.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.

30Na kamba mkono wako wa ukulume wokutenda utende vilozo, ukanhe uwase kutali nagwe! Vinoga kumwako kwagiza kipindi kimwe cha lukuli lwako kubanza lukuli lwako lose luchole kuzimu.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“Vivija ilongigwa, ‘Munhu yoyose yomwasa mtwanzi wake, kolondigwa yamwandikile lupwilili lwa nyasa.’It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

32Ila nie nowalongela kamba, munhu yoyose yomwasa mtwanzi wake, ila tu sama ya kilamso cha ugoni, komtenda mtwanzi hiyo yawe mgoni, na munhu yoyose yomsola mtwanzi hiyo kotenda ugoni.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“Vivija muhulika kamba wanhu wa umwaka viwalongeligwe, ‘Sambiuiduile uvwizi ila ugoge kiduilo chako chuuiduile ha Mndewa.’Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

34Ila nie nowalongela, sambimuiduile kabisa. Sambimuiduilile ulanga, kwavija kicho kigoda cha undewa cha Mulungu,But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35ama sambimuiduilile isi, kwavija kicho kigoda chake cha kwikila magulu gake, ama sambimuiduilile Yelusalemu, kwavija dijo wambo da Mndewa Mkulu.or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Vivija sambiuiduilile pala jako, kwavija hudaha kutenda hata luvili lwako lumwe kuwa luzelu ama lutitu.Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37Mbuli zenu ziwe ‘Ona’ kamba ihawa ‘Ona’ ama ‘Sio’ kamba ihawa ‘Sio.’ Chochose chondakibanze mbuli zino cholawa ha Mwenembago.Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

38“Muhulika ilongigwa kamba, ‘Siso kwa siso, na zino kwa zino.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’

39Ila nie nowalongela, sambium'bwelezele mtenda gehile. Munhu yahakutoa kanza da ukulume, muhindusile na diyagwe.But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

40Na munhu yahakugala kukitala na kukusolela shati jako, vivija mulekele na koti jako.if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

41Kamba munhu yahakushulutiza umpapile bahasha yake kilometa imwe, mpapile kilometa mbili.and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42Munhu yondayakupule, mgwelele, na munhu yoyose yolonda umkalizi, sambiumuhindukile kisogo.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43“Muhulika kamba ilongigwa, ‘Mnogele munhu wa habehi nagwe, na umwihile mdumuka wako.’You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

44Ila nie nowalongela, wanogele wadumuka zako na muwatambikile waja wose wowagaza,But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45giladi muwe wana wa Tata wenu wa kuulanga. Heyo yowamwemwesela zua jake wanhu wehile na wanogile, na yowatoela mvula wazenzeleganye na wanhu walibule uzenzeleganye.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.

46Ihawa mowanogela wanhu wose waja wowonogela mweye, mopata nhunza yaki? Kwavija hata wawila kodi wotenda vivo!If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

47Na kamba mowalamsa ndugu zenu weiyeka, kinhu chaki kikulu kimtenda kubanza wayagwe? Hata Wamhazi wotenda vivo!And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Avo, sambimuhungule hanhu kamba Tata wenu wa kuulanga viyalekile kuhungula hanhu!Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
