Mathayo 5
1 Basi Yesu alipoona makutano, alipanda mlimani akaketi chini, nao wanafunzi wake wakamjia.
And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 Ndipo akaanza kuwafundisha, akisema:
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 “Heri walio maskini wa roho, maana Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni wao.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Heri wale wanaohuzunika, maana hao watafarijiwa.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Heri walio wapole, maana hao watairithi nchi.
Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya haki, maana hao watatoshelezwa.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Heri wenye huruma, maana hao watapata rehema.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 Heri walio na moyo safi, maana hao watamwona Mungu.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Heri walio wapatanishi, maana hao wataitwa wana wa Mungu.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
10 Heri wanaoteswa kwa sababu ya haki, maana Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni wao.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Heri ninyi watu watakapowashutumu, na kuwatesa na kunena dhidi yenu mabaya ya aina zote kwa uongo kwa ajili yangu.
"Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Furahini na kushangilia kwa maana thawabu yenu ni kubwa mbinguni, kwa kuwa hivyo ndivyo walivyowatesa manabii waliokuwa kabla yenu.
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 “Ninyi ni chumvi ya ulimwengu. Lakini chumvi ikipoteza ladha yake, yawezaje kurudishiwa ladha yake tena? Haifai tena kwa kitu chochote, ila kutupwa nje ikanyagwe na watu.
"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 “Ninyi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Mji uliojengwa kilimani hauwezi kufichika.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Wala watu hawawashi taa na kuifunika kwa bakuli. Badala yake, huiweka kwenye kinara chake, nayo hutoa mwanga kwa kila mtu aliyemo ndani ya ile nyumba.
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 Vivyo hivyo, nuru yenu iangaze mbele ya watu, ili wapate kuona matendo yenu mema wamtukuze Baba yenu aliye mbinguni.
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 “Msidhani kwamba nimekuja kufuta Sheria au Manabii; sikuja kuondoa bali kutimiza.
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Kwa maana, amin nawaambia, mpaka mbingu na dunia zitakapopita, hakuna hata herufi moja ndogo wala nukta itakayopotea kwa namna yoyote kutoka kwenye Sheria, mpaka kila kitu kiwe kimetimia.
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 Kwa hiyo, yeyote atakayevunja mojawapo ya amri ndogo kuliko zote ya amri hizi, naye akawafundisha wengine kufanya hivyo, ataitwa mdogo kabisa katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni, lakini yeyote azitendaye na kuzifundisha hizi amri ataitwa mkuu katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni.
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 Kwa maana nawaambia, haki yenu isipozidi haki ya Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria, kamwe hamtaingia katika Ufalme wa Mbinguni.
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 “Mmesikia walivyoambiwa watu wa zamani kwamba, ‘Usiue. Yeyote atakayeua atapaswa hukumu.’
"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
22 Lakini mimi nawaambia kwamba, yeyote atakayemkasirikia ndugu yake, atapaswa hukumu. Tena, yeyote atakayemwambia ndugu yake, ‘Raka,’atapaswa kujibu kwa Baraza la Wayahudi. Lakini yeyote atakayesema ‘Wewe mpumbavu!’ atapaswa hukumu ya moto wa jehanamu. (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 “Kwa hiyo, kama unatoa sadaka yako madhabahuni, ukakumbuka kuwa ndugu yako ana kitu dhidi yako,
"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 iache sadaka yako hapo mbele ya madhabahu. Enda kwanza ukapatane na ndugu yako; kisha urudi na ukatoe sadaka yako.
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 “Patana na mshtaki wako upesi wakati uwapo njiani pamoja naye kwenda mahakamani, ili mshtaki wako asije akakutia mikononi mwa hakimu, naye hakimu akakutia mikononi mwa askari, nawe ukatupwa gerezani.
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 Amin, nakuambia, hautatoka humo hadi uwe umelipa senti ya mwisho.
Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 “Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Usizini.’
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
28 Lakini mimi nawaambia kwamba, yeyote amtazamaye mwanamke kwa kumtamani, amekwisha kuzini naye moyoni mwake.
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 Jicho lako la kuume likikusababisha kutenda dhambi, lingʼoe ulitupe mbali. Ni afadhali kwako kupoteza kiungo kimoja cha mwili wako kuliko mwili wako mzima ukatupwa jehanamu. (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 Kama mkono wako wa kuume ukikusababisha kutenda dhambi, ukate, uutupe mbali. Ni afadhali kwako kupoteza kiungo kimoja cha mwili wako kuliko mwili wako mzima utupwe jehanamu. (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 “Pia ilinenwa kwamba, ‘Mtu yeyote amwachaye mkewe sharti ampe hati ya talaka.’
"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
32 Lakini mimi nawaambia, yeyote amwachaye mkewe isipokuwa kwa kosa la uasherati, amfanya mkewe kuwa mzinzi. Na yeyote amwoaye yule mwanamke aliyeachwa, anazini.
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 “Tena mmesikia walivyoambiwa watu wa zamani kwamba, ‘Usiape kwa uongo, bali timiza kiapo kile ulichofanya kwa Bwana.’
"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 Lakini mimi nawaambia, msiape kabisa: iwe kwa mbingu, kwa kuwa ni kiti cha enzi cha Mungu;
But I tell you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 au kwa dunia, kwa kuwa ndipo mahali pake pa kuwekea miguu; au kwa Yerusalemu, kwa kuwa ndio mji wa Mfalme Mkuu.
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 Nanyi msiape kwa vichwa vyenu, kwa kuwa hamwezi kuufanya hata unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 ‘Ndiyo’ yenu iwe ‘Ndiyo,’ na ‘Hapana’ yenu iwe ‘Hapana.’ Lolote zaidi ya hili latoka kwa yule mwovu.
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 “Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Jicho kwa jicho na jino kwa jino.’
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
39 Lakini mimi nawaambia, msishindane na mtu mwovu. Lakini kama mtu akikupiga kwenye shavu la kuume, mgeuzie na la pili pia.
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 Kama mtu akitaka kukushtaki na kuchukua joho lako, mwachie achukue na koti pia.
And if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
41 Kama mtu akikulazimisha kwenda maili moja, nenda naye maili mbili.
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Mpe yeye akuombaye, wala usimgeuzie kisogo yeye atakaye kukukopa.
Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 “Mmesikia kwamba ilinenwa, ‘Mpende jirani yako na umchukie adui yako.’
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
44 Lakini ninawaambia: Wapendeni adui zenu na waombeeni wanaowatesa ninyi,
But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45 ili mpate kuwa watoto wa Baba yenu aliye mbinguni. Kwa maana yeye huwaangazia jua lake watu waovu na watu wema, naye huwanyeshea mvua wenye haki na wasio haki.
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 Kama mkiwapenda tu wale wanaowapenda, mtapata thawabu gani? Je, hata watoza ushuru hawafanyi hivyo?
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 Nanyi kama mkiwasalimu ndugu zenu tu, je, mnafanya nini zaidi ya wengine? Je, hata watu wasiomjua Mungu, hawafanyi hivyo?
And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
48 Kwa hiyo kuweni wakamilifu kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
