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

¹ Bi Yeesu gisee mbooloo ma nag, mu yéeg ca tund wa, toog; taalibeem ya ñëw ci moom.

²He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

² Mu daldi leen jàngal naan:

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

³ «Yéen ñi xam seen ñàkk doole ngir neex Yàlla,barkeel ngeen,ndaxte nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji,yéena ko yelloo.

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

⁴ Yéen ñi nekk ci naqar, barkeel ngeen,ndax dees na dëfël seen xol.

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

⁵ Yéen ñi lewet, barkeel ngeen,ndax dingeen moomi àddina.

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

⁶ Yéen ñi xiif te mar njub, barkeel ngeen,ndax dingeen regg.

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

⁷ Yéen ñi am yërmande, barkeel ngeen,ndax dees na leen yërëm.

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

⁸ Yéen ñi am xol bu sell, barkeel ngeen,ndax dingeen gis Yàlla.

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

⁹ Yéen ñiy wut jàmm, barkeel ngeen,ndax dees na leen tudde doomi Yàlla.

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

¹⁰ Yéen ñi ñu fitnaal ndax seen njub,barkeel ngeen,ndaxte nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji,yéena ko yelloo.

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

¹¹ «Barkeel ngeen, bu ñu leen di saaga, di leen fitnaal, di leen sosal lépp lu bon ngir man.

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.

¹² Bégleen te bànneexu, ndax seen yool dina réy ci laaxira. Ndaxte noonu lañu daan fitnaale yonent yi fi jiitu.

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.

¹³ «Yéena di xoromus àddina. Bu xorom si sàppee, nan lañu koy delloo cafkaam? Du jariñati dara, lu dul ñu sànni ko ci biti, nit ñi dox ci kawam.

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

¹⁴ Yéena di leeru àddina. Dëkk, bu nekk ci kaw tund du man a nëbbu.

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.

¹⁵ Te it duñu taal làmp, dëpp cig leget, waaye dañu koy wékk, ba muy leeral ñi nekk ci kër gi ñépp.

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

¹⁶ Na seen leer leere noonu ci kanamu nit ñi, ngir ñu gis seeni jëf yu rafet, te màggal seen Baay bi ci kaw.

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

¹⁷ «Buleen defe ne, ñëw naa ngir dindi yoonu Musaa ak waxi yonent yi. Ñëwuma ngir dindi leen, waaye ngir ñu am ci man.

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.

¹⁸ Ndaxte ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, li feek asamaan ak suuf wéyul, benn tomb walla benn rëddu araf du wéy mukk ci yoonu Musaa, ba kera yépp di am.

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.

¹⁹ Ku tebbi nag ba gën a tuuti ci ndigal yii, te ngay jàngal nit ñi noonu, dees na la tudde ki gën a tuuti ci nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji. Waaye ku leen di sàmm, di leen digle, dees na la tudde ku mag ci nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji.

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.

²⁰ Ndaxte maa ngi leen koy wax, bu seen njubte ëppul njubteg xutbakat ya ak Farisen ya, dungeen tàbbi mukk ci nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji.

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.’

²¹ «Dégg ngeen ne, waxoon nañu maam ya ne leen: “Bul rey nit; ku rey nit, yoon dina la dab.”

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

²² Waaye man maa ngi leen di wax ne, képp ku mere sa mbokk, dinañu la àtte. Ku wax sa mbokk: “Amoo bopp,” dinañu la àtte ca kureelu àttekat ya. Ku ko wax: “Alku nga,” dinañu la àtte ci safara.

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

²³ Booy yóbbu nag sa sarax ca saraxalukaay ba, te nga fàttaliku foofa ne, sa mbokk am na lu mu la meree,

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.

²⁴ nanga fa bàyyi sa sarax ca kanamu saraxalukaay ba, nga jëkk a dem, juboo ak sa mbokk, ba noppi dellu, joxe sa sarax.

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.

²⁵ «Gaawal a juboo ak ki lay yóbbu, ngeen layooji, bala ngeen a egg; ngir bañ ki ngay layool jébbal la àttekat ba, kooka jox la alkaati ba, ñu tëj la.

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.

²⁶ Ci dëgg maa ngi la koy wax, doo génn foofa mukk te feyuloo dërëm bi ci mujj.

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

²⁷ «Te it dégg ngeen ne waxoon nañu: “Bul njaaloo.”

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.

²⁸ Waaye man maa ngi leen di wax ne, képp ku xool jigéen, xédd ko, njaaloo nga ak moom ci sa xel.

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

²⁹ Bu la sa bëtu ndeyjoor bëggee yóbbe bàkkaar, luqi ko, sànni ko fu sore.

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

³⁰ Ndaxte ñàkk benn ci say cér moo gën ci yaw, ñu sànni sa yaram wépp ci safara. Bu la sa loxol ndeyjoor bëggee yóbbe bàkkaar, dagg ko, sànni ko fu sore. Ndaxte ñàkk benn ci say cér moo gën ci yaw ñu sànni sa yaram wépp ci safara.

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

³¹ «Waxoon nañu ne: “Ku fase sa jabar, nga bindal ko kayitu pase.”

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.

³² Waaye man maa ngi leen di wax ne, ku fase sa jabar te du ci njaaloo, yaa koy tegtal yoonu njaaloo. Te it ku takk jigéen ju ñu fase, njaaloo nga.

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,’

³³ «Dégg ngeen itam ne, waxoon nañu maam ya ne leen: “Bul weddi sa ngiñ, waaye li nga giñ def ko ngir Boroom bi.”

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

³⁴ Waaye man maa ngi leen di wax ne, buleen giñ dara; bumu doon ci asamaan, ndaxte moo di jalu Buur Yàlla;

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.

³⁵ bumu doon ci àddina, ndax moo di tegukaayu tànkam; bumu doon it ci Yerusalem, ndax moo di dëkku Buur bu mag bi.

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

³⁶ Bul giñ it ci sa bopp, ndaxte mënuloo weexal mbaa ñuulal benn ci say kawar.

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

³⁷ Sa waaw na nekk waaw, sa déedéet na nekk déedéet. Loo ci teg, ci Ibliis la jóge.

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

³⁸ «Te it dégg ngeen ne, waxoon nañu: “Bët, bët a koy fey; bëñ, bëñ a koy fey.”

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.

³⁹ Waaye man maa ngi leen di wax ne, buleen bañ ku leen def lu bon, waaye ku la pes ci sa lexu ndeyjoor, jox ko ba ca des.

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

⁴⁰ Ku la bëgg a kalaame, ngir jël sa turki, nga boole ca it sa mbubb mu mag.

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

⁴¹ Ku la ga, nga yenul ko doxub benn kilomet, àndal ak moom ñaar.

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

⁴² Mayal ku lay ñaan, te bul jox gannaaw ku lay leb.

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 ’

⁴³ «Dégg ngeen ne, waxoon nañu: “Soppal sa moroom te sib sa bañaale.”

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,

⁴⁴ Waaye man maa ngi leen di wax ne, soppleen seeni bañaale te ñaanal ñi leen di fitnaal,

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.

⁴⁵ ngir wone ne, yéenay doomi seen Baay bi nekk ci kaw. Ndaxte mu ngi fenkal jantam ci kaw ñu bon ñi ak ñu baax ñi, te muy tawal ñi jub ak ñi jubadi.

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

⁴⁶ Su ngeen soppee ñi leen sopp, ban yool ngeen am? Xanaa juutikat yi duñu def noonu it?

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?

⁴⁷ Su ngeen nuyoo seeni bokk rekk, lu ngeen def lu doy waar? Xanaa ñi xamul Yàlla duñu def noonu it?

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

⁴⁸ Nangeen mat nag, ni seen Baay bi ci kaw mate.
