< Matthew 5 >

1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
ιδων δε τουσ οχλουσ ανεβη εισ το οροσ και καθισαντοσ αυτου προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου
2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
και ανοιξασ το στομα αυτου εδιδασκεν αυτουσ λεγων
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
μακαριοι οι πτωχοι τω πνευματι οτι αυτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
μακαριοι οι πενθουντεσ οτι αυτοι παρακληθησονται
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
μακαριοι οι πραεισ οτι αυτοι κληρονομησουσιν την γην
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
μακαριοι οι πεινωντεσ και διψωντεσ την δικαιοσυνην οτι αυτοι χορτασθησονται
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
μακαριοι οι ελεημονεσ οτι αυτοι ελεηθησονται
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
μακαριοι οι καθαροι τη καρδια οτι αυτοι τον θεον οψονται
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
μακαριοι οι ειρηνοποιοι οτι αυτοι υιοι θεου κληθησονται
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
μακαριοι οι δεδιωγμενοι ενεκεν δικαιοσυνησ οτι αυτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
11 “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
μακαριοι εστε οταν ονειδισωσιν υμασ και διωξωσιν και ειπωσιν παν πονηρον ρημα καθ υμων ψευδομενοι ενεκεν εμου
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.
χαιρετε και αγαλλιασθε οτι ο μισθοσ υμων πολυσ εν τοισ ουρανοισ ουτωσ γαρ εδιωξαν τουσ προφητασ τουσ προ υμων
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.
υμεισ εστε το αλασ τησ γησ εαν δε το αλασ μωρανθη εν τινι αλισθησεται εισ ουδεν ισχυει ετι ει μη βληθηναι εξω και καταπατεισθαι υπο των ανθρωπων
14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.
υμεισ εστε το φωσ του κοσμου ου δυναται πολισ κρυβηναι επανω ορουσ κειμενη
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.
ουδε καιουσιν λυχνον και τιθεασιν αυτον υπο τον μοδιον αλλ επι την λυχνιαν και λαμπει πασιν τοισ εν τη οικια
16 Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
ουτωσ λαμψατω το φωσ υμων εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων οπωσ ιδωσιν υμων τα καλα εργα και δοξασωσιν τον πατερα υμων τον εν τοισ ουρανοισ
17 “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.
μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον καταλυσαι τον νομον η τουσ προφητασ ουκ ηλθον καταλυσαι αλλα πληρωσαι
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.
αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν εωσ αν παρελθη ο ουρανοσ και η γη ιωτα εν η μια κεραια ου μη παρελθη απο του νομου εωσ αν παντα γενηται
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.
οσ εαν ουν λυση μιαν των εντολων τουτων των ελαχιστων και διδαξη ουτωσ τουσ ανθρωπουσ ελαχιστοσ κληθησεται εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων οσ δ αν ποιηση και διδαξη ουτοσ μεγασ κληθησεται εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
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.
λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι εαν μη περισσευση η δικαιοσυνη υμων πλειον των γραμματεων και φαρισαιων ου μη εισελθητε εισ την βασιλειαν των ουρανων
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.’
ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη τοισ αρχαιοισ ου φονευσεισ οσ δ αν φονευση ενοχοσ εσται τη κρισει
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)
εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πασ ο οργιζομενοσ τω αδελφω αυτου εικη ενοχοσ εσται τη κρισει οσ δ αν ειπη τω αδελφω αυτου ρακα ενοχοσ εσται τω συνεδριω οσ δ αν ειπη μωρε ενοχοσ εσται εισ την γεενναν του πυροσ (Geenna g1067)
23 “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
εαν ουν προσφερησ το δωρον σου επι το θυσιαστηριον και εκει μνησθησ οτι ο αδελφοσ σου εχει τι κατα σου
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.
αφεσ εκει το δωρον σου εμπροσθεν του θυσιαστηριου και υπαγε πρωτον διαλλαγηθι τω αδελφω σου και τοτε ελθων προσφερε το δωρον σου
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.
ισθι ευνοων τω αντιδικω σου ταχυ εωσ οτου ει εν τη οδω μετ αυτου μηποτε σε παραδω ο αντιδικοσ τω κριτη και ο κριτησ σε παραδω τω υπηρετη και εισ φυλακην βληθηση
26 Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
αμην λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθησ εκειθεν εωσ αν αποδωσ τον εσχατον κοδραντην
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’
ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη ου μοιχευσεισ
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.
εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πασ ο βλεπων γυναικα προσ το επιθυμησαι αυτην ηδη εμοιχευσεν αυτην εν τη καρδια αυτου
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)
ει δε ο οφθαλμοσ σου ο δεξιοσ σκανδαλιζει σε εξελε αυτον και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εισ γεενναν (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)
και ει η δεξια σου χειρ σκανδαλιζει σε εκκοψον αυτην και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εισ γεενναν (Geenna g1067)
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’
ερρεθη δε οτι οσ αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου δοτω αυτη αποστασιον
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.
εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι οσ αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου παρεκτοσ λογου πορνειασ ποιει αυτην μοιχασθαι και οσ εαν απολελυμενην γαμηση μοιχαται
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,’
παλιν ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη τοισ αρχαιοισ ουκ επιορκησεισ αποδωσεισ δε τω κυριω τουσ ορκουσ σου
34 but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
εγω δε λεγω υμιν μη ομοσαι ολωσ μητε εν τω ουρανω οτι θρονοσ εστιν του θεου
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.
μητε εν τη γη οτι υποποδιον εστιν των ποδων αυτου μητε εισ ιεροσολυμα οτι πολισ εστιν του μεγαλου βασιλεωσ
36 Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.
μητε εν τη κεφαλη σου ομοσησ οτι ου δυνασαι μιαν τριχα λευκην η μελαιναν ποιησαι
37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
εστω δε ο λογοσ υμων ναι ναι ου ου το δε περισσον τουτων εκ του πονηρου εστιν
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη οφθαλμον αντι οφθαλμου και οδοντα αντι οδοντοσ
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.
εγω δε λεγω υμιν μη αντιστηναι τω πονηρω αλλ οστισ σε ραπισει επι την δεξιαν σιαγονα στρεψον αυτω και την αλλην
40 If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
και τω θελοντι σοι κριθηναι και τον χιτωνα σου λαβειν αφεσ αυτω και το ιματιον
41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
και οστισ σε αγγαρευσει μιλιον εν υπαγε μετ αυτου δυο
42 Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
τω αιτουντι σε διδου και τον θελοντα απο σου δανεισασθαι μη αποστραφησ
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου και μισησεισ τον εχθρον σου
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,
εγω δε λεγω υμιν αγαπατε τουσ εχθρουσ υμων ευλογειτε τουσ καταρωμενουσ υμασ καλωσ ποιειτε τοισ μισουσιν υμασ και προσευχεσθε υπερ των επηρεαζοντων υμασ και διωκοντων υμασ
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.
οπωσ γενησθε υιοι του πατροσ υμων του εν τοισ ουρανοισ οτι τον ηλιον αυτου ανατελλει επι πονηρουσ και αγαθουσ και βρεχει επι δικαιουσ και αδικουσ
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
εαν γαρ αγαπησητε τουσ αγαπωντασ υμασ τινα μισθον εχετε ουχι και οι τελωναι το αυτο ποιουσιν
47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
και εαν ασπασησθε τουσ φιλουσ υμων μονον τι περισσον ποιειτε ουχι και οι τελωναι ουτωσ ποιουσιν
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
εσεσθε ουν υμεισ τελειοι ωσπερ ο πατηρ υμων ο εν τοισ ουρανοισ τελειοσ εστιν
