Mateyo 5
1 Yesu mpwalabona likoto linene lya bantu balikumukonkela, walatanta pa mulundu ne kwikala panshi pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi,
And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 walatatika kubeyisha kambeti,
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 “Bakute colwe abo bacinka manungo pali Lesa, pakwinga Bwami bwa kwilu ni bwabo.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 bakute colwe, bantu balalilinga, pakwinga Lesa nakabaumbulushe.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 bakute colwe, bantu balicepesha, pakwinga nibakatambule ico Lesa ncalabalaya.
Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 bakute colwe, bantu balanyumfunga nsala ne nyotwa ya kwinsa cilayandanga Lesa, pakwinga nibakekutishiwe.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 bakute colwe bantu bakute nkumbo kubanabo, pakwinga Lesa nakabanyumfwile nkumbo.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 bakute colwe, bantu baswepa myoyo, pakwinga nibakabone Lesa.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 bakute colwe bantu balaletenga lumuno, pakwinga nibakakwiweti bana ba Lesa.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
10 Bakute colwe bantu balapenshewanga, pacebo cakwinsa calulama, pakwinga Bwami bwa kwilu nibwabo.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Mwalelekwa, omulatukanwanga, kupenshewa, ne kumubepesha bintu bingi bbyaipa pacebo cakwambeti munkonkelenga.
"Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Kamusamwani, kayi kamukondwani, pakwinga cilambo cenu kwilu nicinene. Naboyo bashinshimi, amwe kamutana musemwa, balabapenshewa munshila yopeleyo.”
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 “Amwe mulyeti mucele wa bantu bonse pacishi capanshi, nomba na mucele usambuluka, nicani celela kubweshulula mbuli ncowanga? Ulabulu ncito, nikutayowa pansa kaulyataulwa ne bantu.
"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 “Amwe mulyeti mumuni wishikumunikila bantu bonse mucishi. Munshi webakwa pa mulundu nkawelela kubula kubonekela.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Paliya muntu ukute kubangilisha lampi nekwifwekelela munongo, nsombi bakute kubika pacakubikapo lampi, kwambeti umunikile bantu bonse bali mung'andomo,
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 Cimo cimo nenjamwe munikani pamenso abantu, kwambeti babona ncito shenu shaina, bakatembaule Bameshenu ba kwilu.
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 “Kamutayeyeti ndesakupwisha Milawo ya Mose, ne biyisho bya bashinshimi. Ame ndiyakwisa kwipwisha sobwe, nsombi kwisa kwikwanilisha.
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti kwilu necishi capanshi kabitanabipwa, paliya libala nilikaba ling'aneconi lya Mulawo lyeshi likafumemo, mpaka byonse bikakwanilishiwe.
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 Neco muntu labulunga kukonka mulawo umo uli mumilawo iyi, nambi kauli ung'aneconi, ne kwiyishako nabambi kwambeti naboyo babule kukonka, nakabe mung'ana mu Bwami bwa kwilu. Nomba muntu uliyense lakonkonga Milawo, ne kwiyishako nabambi kwambeti naboyo baikonke, nakabe mukulene mu Bwami bwa kwilu.
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 Encondamwambililingeti, na bululami bwenu nkabwapita bululami bwa beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose ne Bafalisi, nteti mukengilemo mu Bwami bwa kwilu pimbi.
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 “Mwalanyumfwa kwambeti, kaindi bantu balambilweti ‘Kotashina, uliyense lashini munendi welela komboloshewa ku nkuta.’
"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
22 Nsombi lino ame ndamwambilingeti, muntu uliyense lakalalilinga mukwabo welela kupewa mulandu ku nkuta, Uliyense lambilinga munendi eti, ‘Omuluya’ Welela komboloshewa ku Nkuta. Nomba uliyense lambilinga munendi eti, ‘Cishilu’ Nendi welela kuyamu mulilo wa Gehena. (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 “Neco na ulesa necipo cakobe cakubenga kuli Lesa pa nteme, kayi wanuka kwambeti, munobe ukute mulandu nenjobe,
"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 koshiya cipo cakobeco pambali pa nteme, koya unyumfwane mulumuno ne munobe, wenseco bwela ubenge cipo cakobe kuli Lesa panteme.
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 “Kamufwambananga kunyumfwana ne muntu ngolepishili kamutana mushika ku nkuta. Kutineti ingaukutwala ku momboloshi, nendi momboloshi, ingaukubika mu makasa a mushilikali uyo welela kukuwala mu jele.
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 Cakubinga ndakwambilishinga, nukekale mujele mpaka ukapwishe kulipila mwelo wamali a mulandu.”
Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 “Mwalanyumfwa kwambeti kaindi bantu balambilweti, ‘Kotapombola.’
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
28 Nomba lino ame ndamwambilingeti muntu uliyense lamulangishishinga mutukashi cakumukumbwa, lamupombolo kendi mumoyo wakendi.
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 Na linso lyakobe lilakwipishinga, ulikolobolemo ulitaye. Caina kutayako lubasu lumo lwa mubili wakobe, kupita kuba ne mubili wakwana ne kuwalwa mu Gehena. (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 Kayi na cikasa cakobe cakululyo cilakwipishinga, ucitimbule ucitaye. Caina kutayako lubasu lumo lwamubili wakobe, kupita kuba ne mubili wakwana ne kuwalwa mu Gehena. (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 “Kayi kaindi balambilweti, ‘Na muntu uleka mukashendi, amulembele ne kumupa cipepala cabushike.’
"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
32 Nomba ame lino ndamwambilingeti, uliyense lalekenga mukashendi pacebo cimbi cabula kuba cabupombo, uyo mukashi ebwa kumutuloba naumbi lenshi bupombo, nendi mutuloba uyo lamwebe ukute mulandu wabupombo.
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 “Kayi mwalamfweti, kaindi bantu balambilweti, ‘Kotaumbila cabwepeshi, nsombi cinse ncowalalumbila kuli Lesa.’
"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 Nomba ame ndamwambilingeti, lekani kulumbila sobwe. Kamutalumbilangeti, kwilu kwine nditu! pakwinga kwilu ekuli cipuna ca Mwami Lesa,
But I tell you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 Kamutalumbilangeti, pacishi capanshi nditu! pakwinga pacishi capanshi epakulyata myendo yakendi Lesa. kayi kamutalumbilangeti ‘Pali Yelusalemu nditu!’ Pakwinga Yelusalemu ni munshi wa Mwami mukulene.
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 Kamutalumbilangeti, ‘Mutwi wakame nditu,’ Pakwinga nkamwelela kusandula mishishi kuba ituba nambi ishipa.
Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Kamwambangoweti, ‘Ee’ Nambi ‘ne.’ Cakusankanyapo pali ibi cilafumunga kuli Waipa usa.”
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 Mwalanyumfweti kaindi bantu balambilweti, Linso kubenga linso, lino kubenga lino.
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
39 Nomba ame lino ndamwambilingeti “Kamutabweshelanga caipa kumuntu lamwipishili sobwe. Na muntu ukuma kulicili lya kululyo, akume kayi kulicili lya kucipiko.
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 Na muntu ukupa mulandu, ne kukukakatisheti umupe mwinjila wakobe, muleke amantile kumo ne munganjo.
And if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
41 Muntu uliyense amukakatisha kwenda nendi mushinso wakilomita imo, wende nendi mushinso wamakilomita abili.
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Muntu amusenga cintu mupeni. Kayi muntu ayandanga kubweleka cintu kulinjobe kotamukanina.”
Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 Mwalanyumfweti kaindi bantu balambilweti, Kosuna munobe, mupele mulwani wakobe.
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
44 Nomba ame lino ndamwambilingeti, basuneni balwani benu ne kubapaililako kuli Lesa abo balamupenshenga.
But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45 Mwenseco, emposhimubele limo bana ba Bameshenu balikwilu, bakute kuleta lumwi pa bantu baipa ne baina. Kayi bakute kulokela mfula pa bantu baina ne baipa.
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 Na kamusunakowa bantu bamusuni, ngamutambulapo cilambo cini kuli Lesa? Beshimisonko nabo nte ncobakute kwinsa copeleco?
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 Kayi nakamupa mitende banse benu bonka, mulenshipo cani capita nabambi? Sena bantu batamwinshi Lesa nkabakute kwinsa copeleco?
And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
48 Kamubani babula kampenda, mbuli Bameshenu bakwilu ncobabula kampenda.
You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
