Matayo 5
1 Tango Yesu amonaki ebele yango ya bato, amataki likolo ya ngomba mpe avandaki. Bayekoli na Ye bapusanaki pene na Ye,
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 mpe akomaki kopesa bango malakisi. Alobaki:
He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 « Esengo na babola na molimo, pamba te Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali mpo na bango!
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Esengo na bato oyo bazali kolela, pamba te bakobondisama!
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Esengo na bato na komikitisa, pamba te bakozwa mokili lokola libula!
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Esengo na bato oyo bazali na nzala mpe na posa ya bosembo, pamba te bakotondisama!
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Esengo na bato oyo bayokelaka bato mosusu mawa, pamba te bakoyokela bango mpe mawa!
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 Esengo na bato oyo bazali na mitema peto, pamba te bakomona Nzambe!
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Esengo na bato oyo bayeisaka kimia, pamba te bakobengama bana na Nzambe!
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10 Esengo na bato oyo bazali konyokolama likolo ya bosembo, pamba te Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali mpo na bango!
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Esengo na bino tango bazali kofinga bino, tango bazali konyokola bino, mpe tango bazali kokosela bino makambo ya lolenge nyonso likolo na Ngai!
Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely for my sake.
12 Bosepela mpe bozala na esengo, pamba te lifuti na bino ezali monene kati na Likolo; pamba te ezalaki mpe kaka ndenge wana nde banyokolaki basakoli oyo bazalaki liboso na bino.
Rejoice and be very glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For in this way people persecuted the prophets who lived before you.
13 Bozali mungwa ya mokili. Kasi soki mungwa ebungisi elengi na yango, ndenge nini bakokoka lisusu kozongisa elengi na yango? Ezali lisusu na tina moko te; etikali kaka eloko ya kobwaka mpe ya konyata.
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again? It is never again good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
14 Bozali pole ya mokili. Engumba oyo batongi na likolo ya ngomba ekoki kobombama te.
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Moto moko te apelisaka mwinda mpo na kotia yango na se ya katini; nzokande, atiaka yango na likolo ya etelemiselo ya minda mpo ete engengisa bato nyonso oyo bazali kati na ndako.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but rather on the lampstand, and it shines for everyone in the house.
16 Yango wana, tika ete pole na bino engenga liboso ya bato, mpo ete bamona misala malamu na bino mpe bakumisa Tata na bino oyo azali kati na Likolo.
Let your light shine before people in such a way that they see your good deeds and praise your Father who is in heaven.
17 Bokanisa te ete Ngai nayaki mpo na kolongola Mobeko to basakoli; solo, nayaki te mpo na kolongola, kasi nayaki nde mpo na kokokisa.
Do not think that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets. I have come not to destroy them, but to fulfill them.
18 Pamba te, nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: liboso ete Likolo mpe mabele elimwa, nkoma moko te oyo eleki moke to litono oyo ezalaka na likolo ya i ekotikala kolongwa kati na Mobeko, kino makambo nyonso ekokisama.
For truly I say to you that until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things have been accomplished.
19 Yango wana, moto nyonso oyo akobuka moko kati na mibeko oyo, ezala oyo eleki moke kati na yango, mpe akoteya bato mosusu kosala bongo, bakozwa ye lokola moto pamba kati na Bokonzi ya Likolo. Kasi moto oyo akotosa mpe akoteya mibeko oyo epai na bato mosusu akozala moto monene kati na Bokonzi ya Likolo.
Therefore whoever breaks the least one of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Pamba te, nazali koloba na bino solo ete soki bosembo na bino liboso ya Mobeko eleki te bosembo ya balakisi ya Mobeko mpe ya Bafarizeo, bokokota te na Bokonzi ya Likolo.
For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will in no way enter the kingdom of heaven.
21 Boyokaki ete baloba na bakoko na biso: ‹ Okobomaka te. Moto nyonso oyo akoboma moninga na ye asengeli na kosambisama liboso ya basambisi. ›
You have heard that it was said to them in ancient times, 'Do not kill,' and, 'Whoever kills will be in danger of the judgment.'
22 Kasi Ngai, nalobi na bino: Moto nyonso oyo akokangela ndeko na ye kanda akosamba na esambiselo liboso ya basambisi; moto oyo akofinga ndeko na ye: ‹ zoba, › akosamba liboso ya Likita-Monene; mpe oyo akoloba na ndeko na ye: ‹ moto ya liboma, › akobwakama kati na moto ya lifelo. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of the judgment; and whoever says to his brother, 'You worthless person!' will be in danger of the council; and whoever says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 Soki ozali kokende kopesa makabo na yo liboso ya etumbelo, mpe ososoli ete ndeko na yo azwa yo na likambo,
Therefore if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 tika makabo na yo liboso ya etumbelo mpe kende nanu koyokana na ndeko na yo wana; sima na yango nde okoya kopesa makabo na yo.
leave your gift there in front of the altar, and go on your way. First be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 Soki moto azwi yo na likambo, yokana na ye noki, wana bozali nanu na nzela; soki te, akofunda yo epai ya mosambisi, mosambisi akokaba yo na maboko ya bakengeli, mpe bakengeli bakobwaka yo na boloko.
Agree with your accuser quickly while you are with him on the way to court, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.
26 Nazali koloba na yo penza ya solo: okobima na boloko soki kaka ofuti niongo na yo nyonso.
Truly I say to you, you will never come out from there until you have paid the last bit of money you owe.
27 Boyokaki ete baloba: ‹ Okosalaka ekobo te. ›
You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'
28 Kasi Ngai, nalobi na bino: Mobali nyonso oyo atali mwasi na makanisi ya kolula ye, asili kosala na ye ekobo kati na motema na ye.
But I say to you that everyone who looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Yango wana, soki liso na yo ya ngambo ya mobali ekweyisaka yo na masumu, longola yango mpe bwaka yango mosika na yo; pamba te eleki malamu mpo na yo kobungisa eteni moko ya nzoto, na esika ete nzoto na yo mobimba ebwakama na lifelo. (Geenna g1067)
If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your body parts should perish than that your whole body should be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Soki mpe loboko na yo ya ngambo ya mobali ekweyisaka yo na masumu, kata yango mpe bwaka yango mosika na yo; pamba te eleki malamu mpo na yo kobungisa eteni moko ya nzoto, na esika ete nzoto na yo mobimba ekende na lifelo. (Geenna g1067)
If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your body parts should perish than that your whole body should go into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 Boyokaki lisusu ete baloba: ‹ Soki mobali akabwani na mwasi na ye, asengeli kopesa ye mokanda ya koboma libala. ›
It was also said, 'Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'
32 Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: Mobali nyonso oyo alongoli mwasi na ye na libala, longola kaka soki mwasi yango akweyaki na ekobo, afungoleli ye nzela ya kosala kindumba; mpe mobali oyo abali mwasi oyo balongola na libala asali mpe ekobo.
But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress. Whoever marries her after she has been divorced commits adultery.
33 Boyokaki lisusu ete baloba na bakoko na biso: ‹ Okolapa ndayi ya lokuta te, kasi kokisa bilaka oyo opesaki na nzela ya ndayi liboso ya Nkolo. ›
Again, you have heard that it was said to those in ancient times, 'Do not swear a false oath, but carry out your oaths to the Lord.'
34 Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: bolapaka ndayi te, ezala na kombo ya Likolo, pamba te Likolo ezali Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe,
But I say to you, swear not at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 to na kombo ya mokili, pamba te mokili ezali enyatelo makolo ya Nzambe; to mpe na kombo ya Yelusalemi, pamba te Yelusalemi ezali engumba ya Mokonzi Monene.
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool for his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Bosalelaka mpe te mito na bino mpo na kolapa ndayi, pamba te bokoki te kokomisa moko kati na suki ya mito na bino pembe to mwindo.
Neither swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Kasi bolobaka kaka ‹ iyo › soki ezali iyo, mpe ‹ te › soki ezali bongo, pamba te maloba nyonso oyo ebakisamaka likolo ewutaka na Mokosi.
But let your speech be 'Yes, yes,' or 'No, no.' Anything that is more than this is from the evil one.
38 Boyokaki ete baloba: ‹ Liso mpo na liso, linu mpo na linu. ›
You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
39 Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: Botelemelaka te moto mabe; kutu soki abeti yo mbata na litama ya ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, pesa ye mpe litama ya ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi.
But I say to you, do not resist one who is evil. Instead, whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Soki moto alingi kofunda yo mpo na kozwa elamba na yo, pesa ye mpe kazaka na yo.
If anyone wishes to go to court with you and takes away your coat, let that person also have your cloak.
41 Soki moto atindi yo na makasi ete otambola kilometele moko, yo, tambola bakilometele mibale elongo na ye.
Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Pesa na moto oyo asengi yo, mpe koboya te kodefisa na moto oyo alingi kodefa epai na yo.
Give to anyone who asks you, and do not turn away from anyone who wishes to borrow from you.
43 Boyokaki ete baloba: ‹ Linga moninga na yo mpe yina monguna na yo. ›
You have heard that it was said, 'You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44 Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: Bolingaka banguna na bino mpe bosambelaka mpo na bato oyo banyokolaka bino.
But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 Na ndenge wana nde bokozala bana ya Tata na bino, oyo azali kati na Likolo, pamba te abimisaka moyi mpo na bato malamu mpe mpo na bato mabe, mpe anokisaka mvula mpo na bato ya sembo mpe mpo na bato oyo bazali sembo te.
so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
46 Soki bolingaka kaka bato oyo balingaka bino, lifuti nini bokozwa? Boni, bafutisi mpako basalaka mpe bongo te?
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you get? Do not even the tax collectors do the same thing?
47 Soki bopesaka mbote kaka na bandeko mibali na bino, likambo nini ya kokamwa oyo bosalaka? Boni, bapagano basalaka mpe bongo te?
If you greet only your brothers, what do you do more than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same thing?
48 Bozala bato ya kokoka ndenge Tata na bino ya Likolo azali ya kokoka.
Therefore you must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
