1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
1Yesu alipoyaona makundi ya watu, alipanda mlimani, akaketi. Wanafunzi wake wakamwendea,
2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
2naye akaanza kuwafundisha:
3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
3"Heri walio maskini rohoni, maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
4Heri walio na huzuni, maana watafarijiwa.
5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
5Heri walio wapole, maana watairithi nchi.
6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
6Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya kufanya atakavyo Mungu, maana watashibishwa.
7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
7Heri walio na huruma, maana watahurumiwa.
8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
8Heri wenye moyo safi, maana watamwona Mungu.
9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
9Heri wenye kuleta amani, maana wataitwa watoto wa Mungu.
10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
10Heri wanaoteswa kwa sababu ya kufanya atakavyo Mungu, maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao.
11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
11"Heri yenu ninyi watu wakiwatukana, wakiwadhulumu na kuwasingizia kila aina ya uovu kwa ajili yangu.
12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
12Furahini na kushangilia maana tuzo lenu ni kubwa mbinguni. Hivyo ndivyo walivyowadhulumu manabii waliokuwako kabla yenu.
13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
13"Ninyi ni chumvi ya dunia! Lakini chumvi ikipoteza ladha yake itakolezwa na nini? Haifai kitu tena, ila hutupwa nje na kukanyagwa na watu.
14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
14"Ninyi ni mwanga wa ulimwengu! Mji uliojengwa juu ya mlima hauwezi kufichika.
15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
15Wala watu hawawashi taa na kuifunika kwa chungu, ila huiweka juu ya kinara ili iwaangazie wote waliomo nyumbani.
16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
16Vivyo hivyo, ni lazima mwanga wenu uangaze mbele ya watu, ili wayaone matendo yenu mema, wamtukuze Baba yenu aliye mbinguni."
17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
17"Msidhani ya kuwa nimekuja kutangua Sheria ya Mose na mafundisho ya manabii. Sikuja kutangua bali kukamilisha.
18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
18Kweli nawaambieni, mpaka hapo mbingu na dunia zitakapopita, hakuna hata nukta moja au sehemu ndogo kabisa ya Sheria itakayoondolewa, mpaka yote yametimia.
19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
19Basi, yeyote atakayevunja hata amri moja ndogo kuliko zote, na kuwafundisha wengine wafanye hivyo, huyo atakuwa mdogo kabisa katika Ufalme wa mbiguni. Lakini yule atakayezishika na kuwafundisha wengine, huyo atakuwa mkubwa katika Ufalme wa mbinguni.
20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
20Ndiyo maana nawaambieni, wema wenu usipozidi ule wa Mafarisayo na walimu wa Sheria, hamtaingia kamwe katika Ufalme wa mbinguni.
21Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
21"Mmekwisha sikia ya kuwa watu wa kale waliambiwa: Usiue! Atakayeua lazima ahukumiwe.
22But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
22Lakini mimi nawaambieni, yeyote anayemkasirikia ndugu yake, lazima ahukumiwe. Anayemdharau ndugu yake atapelekwa mahakamani. Anayemwita ndugu yake: Pumbavu atastahili kuingia katika moto wa Jehanamu.
23Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
23Basi, ukipeleka sadaka yako mbele ya madhabahu na hapo ukakumbuka kwamba ndugu yako ana ugomvi nawe,
24Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
24iache sadaka yako mbele ya madhabahu, nenda kwanza ukapatane na ndugu yako, ndipo urudi ukatoe sadaka yako.
25Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
25"Patana na mshtaki wako upesi mkiwa bado njiani, kwenda mahakamani. La sivyo, mshtaki wako atakukabidhi kwa hakimu, naye hakimu atakukabidhi kwa askari, nawe utafungwa gerezani.
26Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
26Kweli nakwambia, hutatoka humo mpaka umemaliza kulipa senti ya mwisho.
27Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
27"Mmesikia ya kuwa watu waliambiwa: Usizini!
28But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
28Lakini mimi nawaambieni, atakayemtazama mwanamke kwa kumtamani, amekwisha zini naye moyoni mwake.
29And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
29Basi, kama jicho lako la kulia linakukosesha, ling'oe ukalitupe mbali. Afadhali zaidi kwako kupoteza kiungo kimoja cha mwili wako, kuliko mwili wako wote kutupwa katika moto wa Jehanamu.
30And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30Na kama mkono wako wa kulia unakukosesha, ukate ukautupe mbali. Afadhali zaidi kupoteza kiungo kimoja cha mwili, kuliko mwili wako wote uende katika moto wa Jehanamu.
31It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
31"Ilikwisha semwa pia: Anayemwacha mke wake, yampasa ampe hati ya talaka.
32But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
32Lakini mimi nawaambieni, anayempa mkewe talaka, isipokuwa kwa sababu ya uzinzi, anamfanya azini; na mtu akimwoa mwanamke aliyepewa talaka, anazini.
33Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
33"Tena mmesikia kuwa watu wa kale waliambiwa: Usivunje kiapo chako, bali ni lazima utimize kiapo chako kwa Bwana.
34But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
34Lakini mimi nawaambieni, msiape kamwe; wala kwa mbingu, maana ni kiti cha enzi cha Mungu;
35Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
35wala kwa dunia, maana ni kiti chake cha kuwekea miguu; wala kwa Yerusalemu, maana ni mji wa Mfalme mkuu.
36Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
36Wala usiape kwa kichwa chako, maana huwezi kuufanya hata unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
37But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
37Ukisema, Ndiyo, basi iwe Ndiyo; ukisema Siyo, basi iwe kweli Siyo. Chochote kinachozidi hayo hutoka kwa yule Mwovu.
38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
38"Mmesikia kwamba ilisemwa: Jicho kwa jicho, jino kwa jino.
39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
39Lakini mimi nawaambieni, usimlipize kisasi mtu mbaya. Mtu akikupiga kofi shavu la kulia, mgeuzie pia shavu la pili.
40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
40Mtu akikupeleka mahakamani kutaka kukuchukulia shati lako, mwache achukue pia koti lako.
41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
41Mtu akikulazimisha kubeba mzigo wake kilomita moja, ubebe kilomita mbili.
42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
42Akuombaye mpe, na mtu akitaka kukukopa kitu usimnyime.
43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
43"Mmesikia kwamba ilisemwa: Mpende jirani yako na kumchukia adui yako.
44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
44Lakini mimi nawaambieni, wapendeni adui zenu na kuwaombea wale wanaowadhulumu ninyi
45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
45ili mpate kuwa watoto wa Baba yenu aliye mbinguni. Kwa maana yeye huwaangazia jua lake watu wabaya na wema, na kuwanyeshea mvua watu wanyofu na waovu.
46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
46Je, mtapata tuzo gani kwa kuwapenda tu wale wanaowapenda ninyi? Hakuna! Kwa maana hata watoza ushuru hufanya hivyo!
47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
47Kama mkiwasalimu ndugu zenu tu, je, mmefanya kitu kisicho cha kawaida? Hata watu wasiomjua Mungu nao hufanya vivyo hivyo.
48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
48Basi, muwe wakamilifu kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu.
