Matayo 5
1 Awo Yesu bwe yalaba ng’ebibiina byeyongera obungi, n’alinnya ku lusozi, abayigirizwa be ne bajja gy’ali,
And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 n’abayigiriza ng’agamba nti:
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 “Balina omukisa abaavu mu mwoyo, kubanga abo Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bwe bwabwe.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Balina omukisa abali mu nnaku, kubanga abo balisanyusibwa.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Balina omukisa abeetoowaze, kubanga abo balisikira ensi.
Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Balina omukisa abalumwa enjala olw’obutuukirivu kubanga abo balikkusibwa.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Balina omukisa ab’ekisa, kubanga abo balikwatirwa ekisa.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 Balina omukisa abalina omutima omulongoofu, kubanga abo baliraba Katonda.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Balina omukisa abatabaganya, kubanga abo baliyitibwa baana ba Katonda.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
10 Balina omukisa abayigganyizibwa olw’obutuukirivu, kubanga abo obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bwe bwabwe.”
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Mulina omukisa mmwe, bwe banaabavumanga, ne babayigganya, ne baboogerako ebibi ebya buli ngeri, ne babawaayiriza, nga babalanga nze.
"Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Musanyuke era mujaguze kubanga empeera yammwe nnene mu ggulu, ne bannabbi ab’edda bwe baayigganyizibwa bwe batyo.”
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 “Mmwe muli munnyo gwa nsi. Naye kale bwe guggwaamu obuka, guliba munnyo nate? Olwo gukasukibwa ebweru ne gulinnyirirwa n’ebigere, nga tegukyalina mugaso gwonna.
"You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trampled under people's feet.
14 “Mmwe muli musana gwa nsi. Ekibuga tekikwekebwa ku lusozi.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Era omuntu takoleeza ttabaaza ate n’agisaanikirako ekibbo, wabula agiteeka ku kikondo n’emulisiza bonna abali mu nju.
Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
16 Kale nammwe ebikolwa byammwe ebirungi byakirenga abantu bonna, babirabenga, bagulumize Kitammwe ali mu ggulu.
In the same way, let your light shine before people, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 “Temulowooza nti Najja okuggyawo amateeka ga Musa oba ebya bannabbi. Sajja okubiggyawo wabula okubituukiriza.
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti Eggulu n’ensi biyinza okuggwaawo, naye ennukuta emu wadde akatonnyeze akamu mu mateeka tebirivaawo okutuusa byonna lwe birituukirira.
For truly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will disappear from the Law, until all things are accomplished.
19 Noolwekyo oyo amenya etteeka erisembayo obutono, n’ayigiriza n’abalala okukola bwe batyo, y’alisembayo mu bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu.
Therefore, whoever will break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever will do and teach them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Naye mbalabula nti Okuggyako ng’obutuukirivu bwammwe businga obw’Abafalisaayo n’obw’abawandiisi, temuliyingira mu bwakabaka bwa mu ggulu.”
For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 “Mwawulira ab’edda bwe baagambibwa nti, ‘Tottanga, na buli anattanga, anaawozesebwa.’
"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
22 Naye mbagamba nti Buli alisunguwalira muganda we aliwozesebwa. Na buli anaagambanga muganda we nti, ‘Laka,’ anaatwalibwa mu lukiiko lw’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya n’awozesebwa. Na buli anaagambanga nti, ‘Musirusiru,’ asaanidde okusuulibwa mu muliro ogwa ggeyeena. (Geenna g1067)
But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be liable to judgment; and whoever will say to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be in danger of the council; and whoever will say, 'You fool,' will be in danger of the fire of Gihana. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Bw’obanga oli mu maaso ga Katonda, ng’omuleetedde ekirabo eky’okuwaayo nga ssaddaaka, n’ojjukira nga waliwo gw’olinako ensonga,
"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 ekirabo kyo sooka okireke awo oddeyo omale okumwetondera mutegeeragane, olyoke okomewo oweeyo ekirabo kyo eri Katonda.
leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 “Tegeeragananga mangu n’oyo akuwawaabira nga mukyali mu kkubo aleme kukutwala wa mulamuzi, n’omulamuzi okukuwaayo eri omuserikale, n’omuserikale okukuteeka mu kkomera.
Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
26 Nkutegeeza nti Olibeera omwo okutuusa lw’olimalayo byonna by’obanjibwa.”
Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 “Mwawulira bwe kyagambibwa nti, ‘Toyendanga!’
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
28 Naye mbagamba nti Buli muntu atunuulira omukazi n’amwegomba aba amaze okumwendako mu mutima gwe.
but I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 Noolwekyo obanga eriiso Lyo erya ddyo likuleetera okwesittala, liggyeemu olisuule wala. Kubanga kirungi okugenda mu ggulu ng’ebitundu byo ebimu tobirina okusinga okugenda nabyo byonna mu ggeyeena. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gihana. (Geenna g1067)
30 Era obanga omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gukukozesa ebibi, kirungi okugutemako ogusuule wala. Okugenda mu ggulu ng’ekitundu ky’omubiri gwo ekimu tokirina kisinga okugenda mu ggeyeena n’ebitundu by’omubiri gwo byonna. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gihana. (Geenna g1067)
31 Kyagambibwa nti, ‘Buli anaagobanga mukazi we, anaawanga omukazi oyo ebbaluwa ey’okumugoba.’
"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
32 Naye mbagamba nti Buli anaagobanga mukazi we wabula olw’obwenzi anaabanga amwenzesezza, n’oyo anaawasanga omukazi gwe bagobye anaabanga ayenze.”
but I tell you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.
33 “Mwawulira bwe kyagambibwa ab’edda nti, ‘Buli kye weeyamanga eri Mukama okituukirizanga.’
"Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'Do not make false vows, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.'
34 Naye mbagamba nti: Temulayiranga n’akatono! Temulayiranga ggulu, kubanga ye ntebe y’obwakabaka bwa Katonda.
But I tell you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 Temulayiranga nsi, kubanga y’entebe y’ebigere bye. Temulayiranga Yerusaalemi, kubanga ky’ekibuga kya Kabaka omukulu.
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Urishlim, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Era tolayiranga mutwe gwo, kubanga toyinza na kufuula luviiri lwo olumu okuba olweru oba oluddugavu.
Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Naye muddangamu buzzi nti, ‘Weewaawo.’ Oba nti, ‘Si weewaawo’. Kubanga bw’ogezaako okukakasa ebigambo byo n’okulayira kiraga nti waliwo ekitali kituufu.”
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 “Mwawulira nga kyagambibwa nti, ‘Omuntu bw’anaggyangamu eriiso lya munne n’erirye linaggibwangamu. Oba omuntu bw’anaaggyangamu erinnyo lya munne, n’erirye banaalikuulangamu.’
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
39 Naye mbagamba nti, Temuwakananga na mubi, naye omuntu bw’akukubanga oluyi ku ttama erya ddyo omukyusizanga n’ettama eryokubiri.
But I tell you, do not set yourself against the one who is evil. But whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Omuntu bw’ayagalanga okuwoza naawe atwale essaati yo, omulekeranga n’ekkooti yo.
And if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
41 N’oyo akuwalirizanga okumwetikkirako omugugu gwe kilomita emu, omutwalirangako n’eyokubiri.
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Akusaba omuwanga, n’oyo ayagala okukwewolako tomukubanga mabega.”
Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 “Mwawulira ab’edda bwe baagambibwa nti, ‘Yagalanga muliraanwa wo, naye okyawenga mulabe wo.’
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
44 Naye nze mbagamba nti, Mwagalenga abalabe bammwe! Musabirenga ababayigganya!
But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45 Bwe mulikola bwe mutyo muliba baana ba Kitammwe ali mu ggulu. Kubanga omusana gwe agwakiza abalungi n’ababi, era n’enkuba agitonnyeza ab’amazima n’abatali ba mazima.
that you may be children 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 Bwe mwagala ababaagala bokka, mufunamu ki? N’abawooza bwe bakola bwe batyo.
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 Era bwe munaalamusanga baganda bammwe bokka, munaaba mulina njawulo ki n’abalala? Kubanga ne bannamawanga bwe bakola bwe batyo.
And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
48 Naye mmwe kibagwanira okubeeranga abatuukirivu nga Kitammwe ali mu ggulu bw’ali Omutuukirivu.”
You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
