Faith Heals BibleMatthew 5:14-16 KJV
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither 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.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Open in the app to highlight it, hear it read aloud, and ask Faith what it means.
In context
13 Ye 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.
14-16 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither 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. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
In other translations
Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Ninyi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Mji uliojegwa juu ya mlima haufichiki. Wala watu hawawashi taa na kuweka chini ya kikapu, bali kwenye kinara, nayo yawaangaza wote walio ndani ya nyumba. Acha nuru yenu iangaze mbele za watu kwa namna ambayo kwamba, wayaone matendo yenu mema na kumtukuza Baba yenu aliye mbinguni.
“Mmwe muli musana gwa nsi. Ekibuga tekikwekebwa ku lusozi. Era omuntu takoleeza ttabaaza ate n’agisaanikirako ekibbo, wabula agiteeka ku kikondo n’emulisiza bonna abali mu nju. Kale nammwe ebikolwa byammwe ebirungi byakirenga abantu bonna, babirabenga, bagulumize Kitammwe ali mu ggulu. Okutuukiriza Amateeka
Bozali pole ya mokili. Engumba oyo batongi na likolo ya ngomba ekoki kobombama te. Moto moko te apelisaka mwinda mpo na kotia yango na se ya katini ; nzokande, atiaka yango na likolo ya etelemiselo ya minda mpo ete engengisa bato nyonso oyo bazali kati na ndako. Yango wana, tika ete pole na bino engenga liboso ya bato, mpo ete bamona misala malamu na bino mpe bakumisa Tata na bino oyo azali kati na Likolo. Yesu mpe Mobeko
Vous êtes la lumière du monde. Une ville située sur une montagne ne peut être cachée; et on n’ allume pas une lampe pour la mettre sous le boisseau, mais on la met sur le chandelier, et elle éclaire tous ceux qui sont dans la maison. Que votre lumière luise ainsi devant les hommes, afin qu’ ils voient vos bonnes œuvres, et qu’ ils glorifient votre Père qui est dans les cieux. L’accomplissement de la loi et des prophètes V. 17-20: cf. (Ps 40:7-11. Ro 8:3, 4.) Lu 24:44.
Vosotros sois la luz del mundo: una ciudad asentada sobre un monte no se puede esconder. Ni se enciende una lámpara y se pone debajo de un almud, mas sobre el candelero, y alumbra á todos los que están en casa. Así alumbre vuestra luz delante de los hombres, para que vean vuestras obras buenas, y glorifiquen á vuestro Padre que está en los cielos.
Ihr seid das Licht der Welt. Es kann die Stadt, die auf einem Berge liegt, nicht verborgen sein. Man zündet auch nicht ein Licht an und setzt es unter einen Scheffel, sondern auf einen Leuchter; so leuchtet es denn allen, die im Hause sind. Also laßt euer Licht leuchten vor den Leuten, daß sie eure guten Werke sehen und euren Vater im Himmel preisen.
“Vocês são a luz do mundo. Não se pode esconder uma cidade situada sobre um monte. Nem se acende uma candeia para colocá-la debaixo de um cesto de medida, mas no velador; e assim ela ilumina todos os que estão na casa. Da mesma forma, deixem a luz de vocês brilhar diante dos homens, para que vejam as suas boas obras e glorifiquem o Pai de vocês, que está nos céus.
