for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.
Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward will be great in heaven.”

Gospel Reading 2 - Matthew 5:13-16 [805-2]

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew

Jesus said to his disciples:

"You are the salt of the earth.

Lakini chumvi ikipoteza ladha yake, itakolezwa na nini?

It is no longer good for anything

but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

Ninyi ni nuru ya ulimwengu.

Mji uliowekwa juu ya mlima hauwezi kufichwa.

Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket;

it is set on a lamp stand, where it gives light to all in the house.

Just so, your light must shine before others,

ili wayaone matendo yenu mema

and glorify your heavenly Father."

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew

Jesus said to his disciples:

"Si kila mtu aniambiaye, Bwana, Bwana;

will enter the Kingdom of heaven,

but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

“Kila mtu anayesikiliza maneno yangu haya na kuyafanyia kazi

atakuwa kama mtu mwenye hekima aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mwamba.

Mvua ilinyesha, mafuriko yakaja,

and the winds blew and buffeted the house.

But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.

And everyone who listens to these words of mine

but does not act on them

atakuwa kama mpumbavu aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mchanga.

Mvua ilinyesha, mafuriko yakaja,

and the winds blew and buffeted the house.

Na ilianguka na kuharibiwa kabisa."

When Jesus finished these words,

the crowds were astonished at his teaching,

kwa maana aliwafundisha kama mtu mwenye mamlaka;

and not as their scribes.

So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate."

with all your soul,

and with all your mind.

Hii ndiyo amri iliyo kuu, na ndiyo amri ya kwanza.

Gospel Reading 7 - John 2:1-11 [805-7]



A reading from the holy Gospel according to John



There was a wedding in Cana in Galilee,

na mama yake Yesu alikuwapo.

Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.

Wakati divai ilipokwisha,

the mother of Jesus said to him,

"They have no wine."

And Jesus said to her,

"Woman, how does your concern affect me?

Saa yangu bado haijafika."

Mama yake akawaambia watumishi,

"Do whatever he tells you."

Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings,

kila mmoja akichukua galoni ishirini hadi thelathini.

Jesus told them,

"Fill the jars with water."

Basi wakavijaza mpaka ukingo.

Then he told them,

"Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter."

So they took it.

Na yule mhudumu alipoyaonja yale maji yaliyogeuka kuwa divai.

without knowing where it came from

(although the servants who had drawn the water knew),

mkuu wa nyumba akamwita bwana harusi na kumwambia,

"Everyone serves good wine first,

halafu watu wakishakunywa kwa uhuru, mtu duni;

but you have kept the good wine until now."

Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee

and so revealed his glory,

na wanafunzi wake wakaanza kumwamini.

“Kama vile Baba anipendavyo mimi, mimi nami ninavyowapenda ninyi.

Remain in my love.

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,

just as I have kept my Father's commandments

and remain in his love.

and your joy might be complete.

Gospel Reading 9 - John 15:12-16 [805-9]

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John

Jesus said to his disciples:

''This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.

No one has greater love than this,

mtu kuutoa uhai wake kwa ajili ya rafiki zake.

You are my friends if you do what I command you.

I no longer call you slaves,

because a slave does not know what his master is doing.

I have called you friends,

because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.

It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you

and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,

so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you."

kwa sababu ulinipenda kabla ya kuwekwa misingi ya ulimwengu.

Righteous Father, the world also does not know you,

that the love with which you loved me

may be in them and I in them."
