Matthew 5
1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki he kakai tokolahi, naʻe ʻalu hake ia ki he moʻunga: pea kuo nofo hifo ia, pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia:
2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
Pea lea ia, ʻo ne akonaki kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻae angavaivai: he ʻoku ʻonautolu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku tangi: he te nau maʻu ʻae fiemālie.
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻae angamalū: he te nau maʻu ʻae fonua.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fiekaia mo fieinua ki he māʻoniʻoni: he te nau fonu ai.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻae manavaʻofa: he te nau maʻu ʻae ʻofa.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻae loto maʻa: he te nau mamata ki he ʻOtua.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻae faʻa fakalelei: ʻe ui ai ʻakinautolu ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu kuo fakatangaʻi koeʻuhi ko e māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku ʻonautolu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
11 “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
“ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻoka manukia, mo fakatangaʻi, mo lohiekina ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kovi kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko au.
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.
Mou fiemālie ʻo fiefia lahi ʻaupito: he ʻoku lahi hoʻomou totongi ʻi he langi: he naʻe pehē ʻenau fakatangaʻi ʻae kau palōfita naʻe muʻa ʻiate kimoutolu.
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.
“Ko e māsima ʻo māmani ʻakimoutolu: pea kapau kuo mole ʻi he māsima hono kona, ʻe toe fakakonaʻi fēfeeʻi ia? Ngata ai, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ia, ka ke lī ki tuaʻā, pea ke molomoloki ia ʻe he kakai.
14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
“Ko e maama ʻo māmani ʻakimoutolu. Ko e kolo ʻoku tuʻu ʻi ha moʻunga, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakapuli ia.
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.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai tutu ha maama, mo tuku ia ʻi he lalo puha fua, ka ki he tuʻunga maama; pea ʻoku ulo ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he fale.
16 Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Tuku ke ulo pehē hoʻomou maama ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue lelei, pea fakamālōʻia ʻa hoʻomou Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi.
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
“ʻOua naʻa mou mahalo kuo u haʻu ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae fono, pe ko e kau palōfita: naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi, ka ke fakamoʻoni.
18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.
He ʻoku ou tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻE tomuʻa mole ʻae langi mo e fonua ka ʻe ʻikai mole ha kihiʻi konga siʻi mei he fono, ka ʻe fakamoʻoni kotoa pē.
19 Therefore, whoever 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.
Ko ia te ne liʻaki ha [fekau ]siʻi ʻi he ngaahi fekau ni, pea akonaki pehē ki he kakai, ʻe ui ia ko e siʻi hifo ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi: ka ko ia te ne fai ia, mo akonaki ʻaki ia, ʻe ui ia ko e lahi ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
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.
He ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe ʻikai lahi hake hoʻomou māʻoniʻoni ʻi he [māʻoniʻoni ]ʻoe kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
21 “You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’
“Kuo mou fanongo naʻe pehē kiate kinautolu ʻi muʻa, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō; pea ko ia ʻe fakapō ʻe tuʻutāmaki ia ki he fakamaau.’
22 But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻe ʻita noa pē ki hono kāinga, ʻe tuʻutāmaki ia ki he fakamaau: pea ko ia te ne ui hono kāinga, ‘Ko e vale,’ ʻe tuʻutāmaki ia ki he fakamaau lahi: ka ko ia te ne lea pehē, ‘Ko e faha koe,’ ʻe tuʻutāmaki ia ki he afi ʻo heli. (Geenna g1067)
23 “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
Ko ia kapau ʻoku ke ʻomi hoʻo meʻa foaki ki he ʻesi feilaulau, pea ke toki manatuʻi ai ʻoku koviʻia ho kāinga kiate koe;
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.
Tuku hoʻo meʻa foaki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻesi feilaulau, pea ke ʻalu koe; ʻo tomuʻa fakalelei ki ho kāinga, pea ke toki haʻu, ʻo ʻoatu hoʻo meʻa foaki.
25 Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on 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.
“Fakalelei vave mo ho fili, lolotonga hoʻomo kei ʻi he hala mo ia, telia naʻa tukuange koe ʻe ho fili ki he fakamaau, pea tuku koe ʻe he fakamaau ki he pule, pea ʻe tuku koe ki he fale fakapōpula.
26 Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate koe, ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito te ke hao mei ai, kaeʻoua ke ke ʻoatu ʻae totongi kotoa pē.
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’
“Kuo mou fanongo naʻe pehē kiate kinautolu ʻi muʻa, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine:’
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.
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku fakasio ki ha fefine ke holi ki ai, ʻoku tonoʻi ia ʻe ia ʻi hono loto.
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 (Geenna g1067).
Pea kapau ʻoku fakahalaʻi koe ʻe ho mata toʻomataʻu, kapeʻi ia, ʻo liʻaki ia ʻiate koe: he ʻoku ʻaonga kiate koe ke ʻauha ho konga ʻe taha, kaeʻoua naʻa lī ho sino kotoa ki heli. (Geenna g1067)
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 (Geenna g1067).
Pea kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi koe ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu, tutuʻu ia, ʻo liʻaki ia ʻiate koe; he ʻoku ʻaonga kiate koe ke ʻauha ho konga ʻe taha, kaeʻoua naʻa lī ho sino kotoa ki heli. (Geenna g1067)
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’
“Naʻe tala, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ia ʻoku tukuange hono uaifi, ke ne ʻoange kiate ia ʻae tohi māvae:’
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.
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻe tukuange hono uaifi, ka ʻi heʻene tono tangata, ʻoku ne fakatonotangataʻi ia: pea ko ia ʻe mali mo ia kuo fakamāvae, ko e tono fefine ia.
33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’
“Kuo mou fanongo foki, naʻe pehē ʻiate kinautolu ʻi muʻa, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fuakava loi, ka ke fai kia Sihova hoʻo fuakava:’
34 but I tell you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua te mou fuakava: pe ki he langi; he ko e ʻafioʻanga ia ʻoe ʻOtua:
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.
pe ki he fonua; he ko hono tuʻungavaʻe: pe ki Selūsalema; he ko e kolo ia ʻoe Tuʻi lahi.
36 Neither shall you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
Pea ʻoua naʻa ke fuakava ki ho ʻulu, he ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa ngaohi ha tuʻoni louʻulu ke hinehina pe ʻuliʻuli.
37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
Ka ʻi hoʻomou alea, ke ‘ʻIo’ pe hoʻomou ‘ʻIo;’ mo ‘ʻIkai’ pe hoʻomou ‘ʻIkai:’ he ko ia ʻoku fakalahi ʻaki ʻa eni, ʻoku tupu ʻi he kovi.
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
“Kuo mou fanongo naʻe lea pehē, ‘[Ke totongi ]ʻaki ʻae mata ʻae mata, mo e nifo ʻae nifo:’
39 But I tell you, do not resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ke ʻoua naʻa mou talia ha taha angakovi: ka ko ia te ne sipiʻi ho [kouʻahe ]toʻomataʻu, fulihi atu foki kiate ia ho kouʻahe ʻe taha.
40 If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
Pea kapau ʻe loto ha taha ke fakamaau koe, ka ne maʻu ai ho kofutuʻa, tuku ke ne maʻu mo ho pulupulu foki.
41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
Pea ko ia ʻe fakafiuʻi koe ke mo ō mo ia ʻi he maile ʻe taha, ʻalu mo ia [ʻi he maile ]ʻe ua.
42 Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
Foaki kiate ia ʻoku kole kiate koe, pea ʻoua naʻa fulituʻa kiate ia ʻoku fie nō meiate koe.
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
“Kuo mou fanongo naʻe lea pehē, ‘Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi, kae fehiʻa ki ho fili.’
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,
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOfa ki homou ngaahi fili, tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku kapeʻi ʻakimoutolu, fai lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate kimoutolu, pea hūfia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai kovi mo fakatanga kiate kimoutolu;
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.
koeʻuhi ke mou taau mo e fānau ʻa hoʻomou Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi: he ʻoku ne pule ke hopo ʻene laʻā ki he angakovi mo e angalelei, pea ʻoku ne tuku ʻae ʻuha ki he angatonu mo e taʻeangatonu.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
He kapau ʻoku mou ʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate kimoutolu, ko e hā ʻae totongi te mou maʻu? He ʻikai ʻoku fai pehē ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau?
47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Pea kapau ʻoku mou feʻofoʻofani mo homou kāinga pe, ʻoku lelei lahi hake ia? He ʻikai ʻoku pehē ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau?
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Ko ia ke haohaoa ʻakimoutolu he ʻoku haohaoa ʻa hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
