¹ Alwaato kaŋ Yesu di borey marga, a kaaru tondo boŋ. Kaŋ a goro binde, a talibey kaa a do.

¹Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.

² A na nga me feeri k'i dondonandi ka ne:

²He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

³ «Albarkanteyaŋ no ngey kaŋ mana ngey boŋ lasaabu hala ngey to hay fo, Zama beene koytara ya i wane no.

³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Isaiah 57:15; 66:2

⁴ Albarkanteyaŋ no ngey kaŋ gonda bine saray, Zama i ga bakar i se.

⁴ Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Isaiah 61:2; 66:10,13

⁵ Albarkanteyaŋ no ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga lalabu, Zama i ga ndunnya tubu.

⁵ Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. or, land. Psalm 37:11

⁶ Albarkanteyaŋ no ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga ba adilitaray sanda ŋwa da haŋ cine, zama i g'i kungandi.

⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

⁷ Albarkanteyaŋ no ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga suuji cabe, Zama i ga du suuji.

⁷ Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

⁸ Albarkanteyaŋ no ngey kaŋ yaŋ biney ga hanan, Zama i ga di Irikoy.

⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

⁹ Albarkanteyaŋ no sasabandikoy, Zama i ga ne i se Irikoy izeyaŋ.

⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.

¹⁰ Albarkanteyaŋ no ngey kaŋ yaŋ i g'i gurzugandi adilitaray sabbay se, zama beene koytara i wane no.

¹⁰ Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

¹¹ Albarkanteyaŋ no araŋ, waati kaŋ i g'araŋ wow, i g'araŋ gurzugandi, tangari boŋ mo i g'araŋ maa ce da izefututaray kulu dumi, ay wo sabbay se.

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

¹² Araŋ biney ma kaanu, araŋ ma farhã gumo, zama araŋ alhakku beero go beena ra. Zama yaadin cine no i na annabey kaŋ yaŋ n'araŋ jin din gurzugandi nd'a.

¹² 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 Araŋ no ga ti ndunnya ciiri, day da ciiri tar, ifo no i g'a hanse nd'a? Ne ka koy jine a sinda nafa kulu, kal i m'a furu, i m'a taamu borey ce taamey cire.

¹³ “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 trodden under the feet of men.

¹⁴ Araŋ no ga ti ndunnya annura. Kwaara kaŋ go tudu boŋ si tugu.

¹⁴ You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.

¹⁵ I si fitilla diyandi mo k'a daŋ cilla cire, kala taablo boŋ, hal a ma kaari borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go fuwo ra se.

¹⁵ 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 Yaadin no araŋ mo. Wa naŋ araŋ annura ma kaari borey jine, zama i ma di araŋ goy hanney, hal i m'araŋ Baabo kaŋ go beena ra beerandi.

¹⁶ Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

¹⁷ Araŋ ma si tammahã hal ay kaa ka Tawretu* nda annabey sanney zeeri no bo. Ay mana kaa ay m'i zeeri se, amma ay m'i toonandi.

¹⁷ “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.

¹⁸ Cimi no ay go ga ci araŋ se: hala day beena nda ganda mana bisa, hay kulu no si daray Tawretu* ra, biir'ize folloŋ wala tomb'ize folloŋ, kala waati kaŋ hay kulu kubay.

¹⁸ For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter literally, iota or one tiny pen stroke or, serif shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.

¹⁹ Boro kulu mo kaŋ ga lordi kaŋ kayna d'i kulu daaru ka borey dondonandi yaadin, i ga ne a se boro kaŋ bisa ikulu kaynayaŋ beene koytara ra. Amma boro kulu kaŋ g'i te, ka borey dondonandi nd'ey, i ga ne a se ibeeri beene koytara ra.

¹⁹ Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

²⁰ Zama ay ga ne araŋ se: d'araŋ adilitara mana bisa asariya* dondonandikoy da Farisi fonda borey wano, yaadin gaa araŋ si furo beene koytara ra, baa kayna.

²⁰ 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 Araŋ maa i ne doŋ borey se: ‹Ni ma si boro wi. Boro kulu mo kaŋ na boro wi ga furo ciiti kataru ra.›

²¹ “You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ Exodus 20:13 and ‘Whoever shall murder shall be in danger of the judgment.’

²² Amma ay ga ne araŋ se: boro kulu kaŋ ga te bine nga nya-ize se, a koy ga furo Yahudancey arkusey marga kataru ra. Boro kulu kaŋ ga ne nga nya-izo se saamo, nga mo ga furo marga ciiti kataru ra. Boro kulu kaŋ ga ne: ‹Nin, boro yaamo!› nga mo ga furo danji* bango ra.

²² But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause NU omits “without a cause”. shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, ‘Raca “Raca” is an Aramaic insult, related to the word for “empty” and conveying the idea of empty-headedness. !’ shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna. or, Hell

²³ Da mo ni goono ga ni sarga* salle sargay teeyaŋo do, noodin mo ni fongu nin da ni nya-izo game ra gonda hay fo,

²³ “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,

²⁴ kala ni ma ni sarga naŋ noodin sargay teeyaŋo do. Ni ma koy, nin da ni nya-izo ma saba jina, waato gaa ni ma kaa ka ni sarga salle.

²⁴ 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 Nin da ni yanjekaaro ma saba nda waasi, za araŋ go fonda boŋ. Zama ni yanjekaaro ma si ni no alkaali se, alkaali mo ma ni daŋ nga doogari kambe ra, nga mo ma ni daŋ kasu.

²⁵ 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 deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

²⁶ Haciika ay ga ne ni se: ni si fatta noodin kala da ni n'a kulu bana, baa su* si cindi ni gaa.

²⁶ Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there, until you have paid the last penny. literally, kodrantes. A kodrantes was a small copper coin worth about 2 lepta (widow’s mites)—not enough to buy very much of anything.

²⁷ Araŋ maa i ne: ‹Ni ma si zina.›

²⁷ “You have heard that it was said, TR adds “to the ancients,” ‘You shall not commit adultery;’ Exodus 20:14

²⁸ Amma ay ga ne araŋ se: boro kulu kaŋ na wayboro guna hal a n'a miila, a n'a zina nga bina ra nooya.

²⁸ but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

²⁹ Amma da ni kambe ŋwaari mwa ga ni to taali, m'a dagu k'a furu. Zama ni jare fo ma halaci, a bisa ni se i ma ni gaaham timmanta daŋ danji* bango ra.

²⁹ 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 Gehenna. or, Hell

³⁰ Da mo ni kambe ŋwaaro ga ni to taali, m'a dumbu k'a furu. Zama dambe ni gaaham jare fo ma halaci, d'i m'a timmanta kulu daŋ danji bango ra.

³⁰ 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 Gehenna. or, Hell

³¹ I ne koyne: ‹Boro kulu kaŋ ga nga wande fay, kal a m'a no hiijay fayyaŋ tira.›

³¹ “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’ Deuteronomy 24:1

³² Amma ay ga ne araŋ se: boro kulu kaŋ ga nga wande fay, da manti zina sabbay se no, kulu a n'a daŋ zina fonda ra nooya. Koyne, boro kulu kaŋ ga wayboro fayante hiiji, zina no a go ga te.

³² but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.

³³ Woodin banda, araŋ maa i ne doŋ borey se: ‹Ni ma si ze da tangari, amma kala ni ma ni zeyaŋo toonandi Rabbi se.›

³³ “Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’

³⁴ Amma ay ga ne araŋ se: araŋ ma si ze baa kayna. Hala beena boŋ zama Irikoy karga no,

³⁴ but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;

³⁵ wala ndunnya boŋ, zama a ce furkange no, wala mo da Urusalima, zama Hina-Kulu-Koyo kwaara no.

³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

³⁶ Ni ma si ze mo da ni boŋ, zama ni si hin ka baa ni gaa-hamni ize fo ye ibi wala ikwaaray.

³⁶ Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.

³⁷ Amma wa naŋ araŋ sanney ma ciya: Oho, oho da hã'a, hã'a. Hay kulu mo kaŋ bisa yaadin, Ilaala* do no a fun.

³⁷ But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

³⁸ Araŋ maa i ne: ‹Mo no ga mo bana, hinje no ga hinje bana.›

³⁸ “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ Exodus 21:24; Leviticus 24:20; Deuteronomy 19:21

³⁹ Amma ay ga ne araŋ se: wa si kay ka yanje nda boro laalo. Amma boro kulu kaŋ na ni saŋ ni kambe ŋwaari garba gaa, m'afa mo bare a se.

³⁹ But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

⁴⁰ Boro kaŋ ga ba nga ma konda nin ciiti do ka ni kwaay ta ni gaa, ma ni taafa mo taŋ a se.

⁴⁰ If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.

⁴¹ Boro kulu kaŋ ga ni tilasandi mo ni ma koy kilometar fo, ma koy a banda hala ihinka.

⁴¹ Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

⁴² Boro kaŋ na ni ŋwaaray mo, m'a no. Boro kaŋ ga ba nga ma garaw sambu ni gaa mo, ma si banda bare a se.

⁴² Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.

⁴³ Araŋ maa i ne: ‹Ni ma ba ni gorokasin, day ni ma konna ni ibare.›

⁴³ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, Leviticus 19:18 and hate your enemy. not in the Bible, but see Qumran Manual of Discipline Ix, 21-26 ’

⁴⁴ Amma ay ga ne araŋ se: araŋ ma ba araŋ ibarey. Araŋ ma gaara hanno te araŋ wowkoy se. Ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga wangu araŋ, araŋ ma te i se ihanno. Araŋ ma te adduwa araŋ taabandikoy se, kaŋ yaŋ goono g'araŋ gurzugandi,

⁴⁴ But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

⁴⁵ zama araŋ ma ciya araŋ Baabo kaŋ go beena ra izeyaŋ. Zama a ga naŋ nga wayna ma fun boro hanney da boro laaley kulu se, a ga nga beene haro mo zumandi adilantey da ngey kaŋ yaŋ sinda adilitaray kulu se.

⁴⁵ 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 Zama nd'araŋ ga ba araŋ baakoy, yaadin gaa man gaa araŋ alhakko? Manti baa jangal taakoy mo ga woodin te?

⁴⁶ For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?

⁴⁷ Wala mo, d'araŋ nya-izey hinne no araŋ ga fo, yaadin gaa ifo no araŋ te kaŋ bisa boro cindey? Manti baa dumi cindey kulu mo ga woodin te bo?

⁴⁷ If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors NU reads “Gentiles” instead of “tax collectors”. do the same?

⁴⁸ Woodin sabbay se binde, wa ciya toonanteyaŋ sanda mate kaŋ araŋ Baabo kaŋ go beena ra ya toonante no.

⁴⁸ Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
