mathiḥ 5
1 anantaraṁ sa jananivahaṁ nirīkṣya bhūdharōpari vrajitvā samupavivēśa|
And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 tadānīṁ śiṣyēṣu tasya samīpamāgatēṣu tēna tēbhya ēṣā kathā kathyāñcakrē|
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 abhimānahīnā janā dhanyāḥ, yatastē svargīyarājyam adhikariṣyanti|
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 khidyamānā manujā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt tē sāntvanāṁ prāpsanti|
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 namrā mānavāśca dhanyāḥ, yasmāt tē mēdinīm adhikariṣyanti|
Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 dharmmāya bubhukṣitāḥ tr̥ṣārttāśca manujā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt tē paritarpsyanti|
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 kr̥pālavō mānavā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt tē kr̥pāṁ prāpsyanti|
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 nirmmalahr̥dayā manujāśca dhanyāḥ, yasmāt ta īścaraṁ drakṣyanti|
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 mēlayitārō mānavā dhanyāḥ, yasmāt ta īścarasya santānatvēna vikhyāsyanti|
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
10 dharmmakāraṇāt tāḍitā manujā dhanyā, yasmāt svargīyarājyē tēṣāmadhikarō vidyatē|
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 yadā manujā mama nāmakr̥tē yuṣmān nindanti tāḍayanti mr̥ṣā nānādurvvākyāni vadanti ca, tadā yuyaṁ dhanyāḥ|
"Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 tadā ānandata, tathā bhr̥śaṁ hlādadhvañca, yataḥ svargē bhūyāṁsi phalāni lapsyadhvē; tē yuṣmākaṁ purātanān bhaviṣyadvādinō'pi tādr̥g atāḍayan|
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 yuyaṁ mēdinyāṁ lavaṇarūpāḥ, kintu yadi lavaṇasya lavaṇatvam apayāti, tarhi tat kēna prakārēṇa svāduyuktaṁ bhaviṣyati? tat kasyāpi kāryyasyāyōgyatvāt kēvalaṁ bahiḥ prakṣēptuṁ narāṇāṁ padatalēna dalayituñca yōgyaṁ bhavati|
"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 trampled under people's feet.
14 yūyaṁ jagati dīptirūpāḥ, bhūdharōpari sthitaṁ nagaraṁ guptaṁ bhavituṁ nahi śakṣyati|
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 aparaṁ manujāḥ pradīpān prajvālya drōṇādhō na sthāpayanti, kintu dīpādhārōparyyēva sthāpayanti, tēna tē dīpā gēhasthitān sakalān prakāśayanti|
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 yēna mānavā yuṣmākaṁ satkarmmāṇi vilōkya yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaṁ pitaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadanti, tēṣāṁ samakṣaṁ yuṣmākaṁ dīptistādr̥k prakāśatām|
In the same way, let your light shine before people, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 ahaṁ vyavasthāṁ bhaviṣyadvākyañca lōptum āgatavān, itthaṁ mānubhavata, tē dvē lōptuṁ nāgatavān, kintu saphalē karttum āgatōsmi|
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 aparaṁ yuṣmān ahaṁ tathyaṁ vadāmi yāvat vyōmamēdinyō rdhvaṁsō na bhaviṣyati, tāvat sarvvasmin saphalē na jātē vyavasthāyā ēkā mātrā bindurēkōpi vā na lōpsyatē|
For truly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will disappear from the Law, until all things are accomplished.
19 tasmāt yō jana ētāsām ājñānām atikṣudrām ēkājñāmapī laṁghatē manujāṁñca tathaiva śikṣayati, sa svargīyarājyē sarvvēbhyaḥ kṣudratvēna vikhyāsyatē, kintu yō janastāṁ pālayati, tathaiva śikṣayati ca, sa svargīyarājyē pradhānatvēna vikhyāsyatē|
Therefore, whoever will break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever will do and teach them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 aparaṁ yuṣmān ahaṁ vadāmi, adhyāpakaphirūśimānavānāṁ dharmmānuṣṭhānāt yuṣmākaṁ dharmmānuṣṭhānē nōttamē jātē yūyam īśvarīyarājyaṁ pravēṣṭuṁ na śakṣyatha|
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 aparañca tvaṁ naraṁ mā vadhīḥ, yasmāt yō naraṁ hanti, sa vicārasabhāyāṁ daṇḍārhō bhaviṣyati, pūrvvakālīnajanēbhya iti kathitamāsīt, yuṣmābhiraśrāvi|
"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
22 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yaḥ kaścit kāraṇaṁ vinā nijabhrātrē kupyati, sa vicārasabhāyāṁ daṇḍārhō bhaviṣyati; yaḥ kaścicca svīyasahajaṁ nirbbōdhaṁ vadati, sa mahāsabhāyāṁ daṇḍārhō bhaviṣyati; punaśca tvaṁ mūḍha iti vākyaṁ yadi kaścit svīyabhrātaraṁ vakti, tarhi narakāgnau sa daṇḍārhō bhaviṣyati| (Geenna g1067)
But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be liable to judgment; and whoever will say to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be in danger of the council; and whoever will say, 'You fool,' will be in danger of the fire of Gihana. (Geenna g1067)
23 atō vēdyāḥ samīpaṁ nijanaivēdyē samānītē'pi nijabhrātaraṁ prati kasmāccit kāraṇāt tvaṁ yadi dōṣī vidyasē, tadānīṁ tava tasya smr̥ti rjāyatē ca,
"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 tarhi tasyā vēdyāḥ samīpē nijanaivaidyaṁ nidhāya tadaiva gatvā pūrvvaṁ tēna sārddhaṁ mila, paścāt āgatya nijanaivēdyaṁ nivēdaya|
leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 anyañca yāvat vivādinā sārddhaṁ vartmani tiṣṭhasi, tāvat tēna sārddhaṁ mēlanaṁ kuru; nō cēt vivādī vicārayituḥ samīpē tvāṁ samarpayati vicārayitā ca rakṣiṇaḥ sannidhau samarpayati tadā tvaṁ kārāyāṁ badhyēthāḥ|
Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
26 tarhi tvāmahaṁ taththaṁ bravīmi, śēṣakapardakē'pi na pariśōdhitē tasmāt sthānāt kadāpi bahirāgantuṁ na śakṣyasi|
Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 aparaṁ tvaṁ mā vyabhicara, yadētad vacanaṁ pūrvvakālīnalōkēbhyaḥ kathitamāsīt, tad yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ;
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
28 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yadi kaścit kāmataḥ kāñcana yōṣitaṁ paśyati, tarhi sa manasā tadaiva vyabhicaritavān|
but I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 tasmāt tava dakṣiṇaṁ nētraṁ yadi tvāṁ bādhatē, tarhi tannētram utpāṭya dūrē nikṣipa, yasmāt tava sarvvavapuṣō narakē nikṣēpāt tavaikāṅgasya nāśō varaṁ| (Geenna g1067)
And 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 Gihana. (Geenna g1067)
30 yadvā tava dakṣiṇaḥ karō yadi tvāṁ bādhatē, tarhi taṁ karaṁ chittvā dūrē nikṣipa, yataḥ sarvvavapuṣō narakē nikṣēpāt ēkāṅgasya nāśō varaṁ| (Geenna g1067)
And 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 Gihana. (Geenna g1067)
31 uktamāstē, yadi kaścin nijajāyāṁ parityakttum icchati, tarhi sa tasyai tyāgapatraṁ dadātu|
"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
32 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vyāharāmi, vyabhicāradōṣē na jātē yadi kaścin nijajāyāṁ parityajati, tarhi sa tāṁ vyabhicārayati; yaśca tāṁ tyaktāṁ striyaṁ vivahati, sōpi vyabhicarati|
but I tell you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.
33 punaśca tvaṁ mr̥ṣā śapatham na kurvvan īścarāya nijaśapathaṁ pālaya, pūrvvakālīnalōkēbhyō yaiṣā kathā kathitā, tāmapi yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ|
"Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'Do not make false vows, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.'
34 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, kamapi śapathaṁ mā kārṣṭa, arthataḥ svarganāmnā na, yataḥ sa īśvarasya siṁhāsanaṁ;
But I tell you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 pr̥thivyā nāmnāpi na, yataḥ sā tasya pādapīṭhaṁ; yirūśālamō nāmnāpi na, yataḥ sā mahārājasya purī;
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Urishlim, for it is the city of the great King.
36 nijaśirōnāmnāpi na, yasmāt tasyaikaṁ kacamapi sitam asitaṁ vā karttuṁ tvayā na śakyatē|
Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 aparaṁ yūyaṁ saṁlāpasamayē kēvalaṁ bhavatīti na bhavatīti ca vadata yata itō'dhikaṁ yat tat pāpātmanō jāyatē|
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 aparaṁ lōcanasya vinimayēna lōcanaṁ dantasya vinimayēna dantaḥ pūrvvaktamidaṁ vacanañca yuṣmābhiraśrūyata|
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
39 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi yūyaṁ hiṁsakaṁ naraṁ mā vyāghātayata| kintu kēnacit tava dakṣiṇakapōlē capēṭāghātē kr̥tē taṁ prati vāmaṁ kapōlañca vyāghōṭaya|
But I tell you, do not set yourself against the one who is evil. But whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 aparaṁ kēnacit tvayā sārdhdaṁ vivādaṁ kr̥tvā tava paridhēyavasanē jighr̥titē tasmāyuttarīyavasanamapi dēhi|
And if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
41 yadi kaścit tvāṁ krōśamēkaṁ nayanārthaṁ anyāyatō dharati, tadā tēna sārdhdaṁ krōśadvayaṁ yāhi|
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 yaśca mānavastvāṁ yācatē, tasmai dēhi, yadi kaścit tubhyaṁ dhārayitum icchati, tarhi taṁ prati parāṁmukhō mā bhūḥ|
Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 nijasamīpavasini prēma kuru, kintu śatruṁ prati dvēṣaṁ kuru, yadētat purōktaṁ vacanaṁ ētadapi yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ|
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
44 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yūyaṁ ripuvvapi prēma kuruta, yē ca yuṣmān śapantē, tāna, āśiṣaṁ vadata, yē ca yuṣmān r̥tīyantē, tēṣāṁ maṅgalaṁ kuruta, yē ca yuṣmān nindanti, tāḍayanti ca, tēṣāṁ kr̥tē prārthayadhvaṁ|
But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45 tatra yaḥ satāmasatāñcōpari prabhākaram udāyayati, tathā dhārmmikānāmadhārmmikānāñcōpari nīraṁ varṣayati tādr̥śō yō yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā, yūyaṁ tasyaiva santānā bhaviṣyatha|
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 yē yuṣmāsu prēma kurvvanti, yūyaṁ yadi kēvalaṁ tēvvēva prēma kurutha, tarhi yuṣmākaṁ kiṁ phalaṁ bhaviṣyati? caṇḍālā api tādr̥śaṁ kiṁ na kurvvanti?
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 aparaṁ yūyaṁ yadi kēvalaṁ svīyabhrātr̥tvēna namata, tarhi kiṁ mahat karmma kurutha? caṇḍālā api tādr̥śaṁ kiṁ na kurvvanti?
And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
48 tasmāt yuṣmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā yathā pūrṇō bhavati, yūyamapi tādr̥śā bhavata|
You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
