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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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