Matthai 5
1 A hmuh neh hlangping taengah tlang la luei tih a ngol vaengah anih te a hnukbang rhoek loh a paan uh.
And seeing great masses of people he went up into the mountain; and when he was seated his disciples came to him.
2 Te vaengah a ka a ong tih amih a thuituen.
And with these words he gave them teaching, saying,
3 Mueihla khodaeng rhoek tah a yoethen uh, vaan ram te amih kah la om.
Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
4 Aka nguek rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih te a hloep uh ni.
Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.
5 Muelhtuet rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih long ni diklai a pang eh.
Happy are the gentle: for the earth will be their heritage.
6 Duengnah te aka hal tih aka pong rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih tah hah uh ni.
Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire.
7 Hlang aka rhen rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih te a rhen uh ni.
Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.
8 thinko aka caih rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih long ni Pathen te a hmuh eh.
Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.
9 Rhoepnah la aka om rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih ni Pathen kah ca rhoek la a khue uh eh.
Happy are the peacemakers: for they will be named sons of God.
10 Duengnah kongah a hnaemtaek rhoek tah a yoethen uh, vaan ram te amih kah ni.
Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.
11 Kai kongah nangmih te thuithet tih, hnaemtaek tih laithaethui rhoek loh nangmih soah a thae la boeih n' thui uh vaengah na yoethenuh.
Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.
12 “Omngaih uh lamtah hlampan uh. Vaan ah nangmih kah thapang muep om. Nangmih hlankah tonghma rhoek khaw a hnaemtaek uh rhoe.
Be glad and full of joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so were the prophets attacked who were before you.
13 Nangmih tah diklai lungkaeh la na om uh. Tedae lungkaeh he a dap atah, ba nen lae a al sak eh? Phawn a voeih tih hlang loh a taelh pawt atah coeng voel pawh.
You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.
14 Nangmih tah Diklai vangnah la na om uh. Tlang soah a thoong khopuei tah khuup thai tlaih pawh.
You are the light of the world. A town put on a hill may be seen by all.
15 Hmaiim te a tok uh tih voh hmuiah a khueh uh moenih. Hmaitung soah ni a khueh tih im khuikah rhoek te boeih a tue.
And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house.
16 Nangmih kah vangnah khaw hlang hmaiah sae tangloeng saeh. Te daengah ni nangmih kah khoboe then te a hmuh uh vetih, vaan kah na pa te a thangpom uh eh.
Even so let your light be shining before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
17 Olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek ol he phae hamla ka lo tila poek uh boeh, phae ham pawt tih soep sak ham ni ka lo.
Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.
18 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, diklai neh vaan a khum hlan khuiah, olkhueng te boeih a soep hlan khuiah, catham khat neh a dek khat pataeng hmata mahpawh.
Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.
19 Te dongah he rhoek kah olpaek rhoek a diknoi khat ca khaw a phae tangkhuet tih hlang aka thuituen te tah vaan ram ah a dikhnawn la a khue ni. Tedae olpaek bangla a saii tih aka thuituen te tah vaan ram ah tanglue la a khue ni.
Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Nangmih taengah kan thui, cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek kah a voel ah duengnah loh nangmih te m'pueh pawt atah, vaan ram ah na kun kolla na om uh mahpawt nim.
For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Khosuen kah a thui te na yaak uh coeng. Hlang ngawn boeh, aka ngawn te tah laitloeknah om kuekluek saeh.
You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:
22 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui, a manuca taengah kosi aka hong boeih tah laitloeknah om kuekluek saeh, a manuca te hlangyoe aka ti nah te khaw khoboei taengla pha kuekluek saeh. Hlang ang la aka thui te khaw hell hmai la pha kuekluek saeh. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Te dongah hmueihtuk la na kutdoe na khuen vaengah, na manuca loh nang soah khat khat ngaihlih a om te na poek atah,
If then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something against you,
24 Na kutdoe te hmueihtuk hmai ah pak hlah. Na manuca taengah cet lamhma lamtah moeithen dae, te phoeiah cet lamtah na kutdoe te pae.
While your offering is still before the altar, first go and make peace with your brother, then come and make your offering.
25 Longpueng ah amah neh na om li vaengah a loe la na kocaelh te ko a hlawt ham saii laeh. Namah te kocaelh loh laitloekkung taengla n'thak ve. Te vaengah laitloekkung loh tueihyoeih taengla n'thak vetih thongim la n'hla ve.
Come to an agreement quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put into prison.
26 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, a hnukkhueng pekhat hil na thuung hlan atah te lamkah na loeih mahpawh.
Truly I say to you, You will not come out from there till you have made payment of the very last farthing.
27 Samphaih boeh a ti te na yaak uh coeng.
You have knowledge that it was said, You may not have connection with another man's wife:
28 Tedae nangmih taengah ka thui. Huta te a hue neh aka dan boeih tah, a thinko ah a samphaih puei oepsoeh coeng.
But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.
29 Na bantang mik loh nang n' khah atah te te koeih lamtah namah lamloh voei. Na pumrho dongkah pakhat a poci akhaw na pum boeih hell la a voeih pawt te nang hamla rhoei bet. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Na bantang kut loh nang n' khah atah te te tloek lamtah namah lamloh voei. Na pumrho dongkah pakhat a poci te nang hamla then ngai. Te daengah ni na pum boeih tah hell la a caeh pawt eh. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “A yuu aka hla loh yuhlaknah te a yuu taengah pae saeh,” a ti.
Again, it was said, Whoever puts away his wife has to give her a statement in writing for this purpose:
32 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui coeng. Cukhalnah olka voel ah a yuu aka hla boeih loh a yuu te samphaih sak ham a saii. Te dongah a hlak tangtae aka yunah te khaw samphaih van.
But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.
33 Khosuen kah a thui te koep na yaak coeng, basa boeh saw. Tedae na olhlo te boeipa taengah na thuung ni.
Again, you have knowledge that it was said in old times, Do not take false oaths, but give effect to your oaths to the Lord:
34 Tedae nangmih taengah toemngam loengloeng boeh ka ti. Vaan nen khaw toemngam boeh. Te tah Pathen kah ngolkhoel ni.
But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;
35 Diklai nen khaw toemngam boeh. Te tah amah kah kho kah khotloeng ni. Jerusalem nen khaw toemngam boeh, te tah manghai boei kah khopuei ni.
Or by the earth, because it is the resting-place for his foot; or by Jerusalem, because it is the town of the great King.
36 Na lu nen khaw toemngam boeh. Sam pakhat pataeng a bok neh a muem la na saii thai moenih.
You may not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
37 Te dongah nangmih ol te ue atah ue, pawh atah pawh la om saeh. Tedae he rhoek kah a pueh tah a thae hno lamkah aka thoeng hno ni.
But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.
38 “Mik ham te mik, no ham te no,” a ti te na yaak uh coeng.
You have knowledge that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 Nangmih taengah kan thui, a thae te kamkaih boeh, tedae bantang kah na kamrhuh aka bael te pakhat ben khaw a taengla hooi pah.
But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned.
40 Nang toe ham neh na angki loh aka ngaih te himbai khaw hlah pah thil.
And if any man goes to law with you and takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe from him.
41 Nang meng khat aka tanolh te, amah te meng nit khaw caeh puei.
And whoever makes you go one mile, go with him two.
42 Nang taengah aka bih te pae. Nang taengah puu hamla aka ngaih te khaw bal sak boeh.
Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.
43 “Na imben te lungnah, na rhal te thiinah,” a ti te na yaak uh coeng.
You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you:
44 Tedae kai loh nangmih taengah kan thui, na rhal rhoek te lungnah lamtah, nangmih aka hnaemtaek rhoek ham thangthui pauh.
But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you;
45 Te daengah ni vaan ah na Pa kah a ca rhoek la na om uh eh. Amah kah khomik te a thae neh a then boeih soah a thoeng sak tih, aka dueng khaw, halang khaw rhotui neh a sul thil.
So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.
46 Nangmih aka lungnah te na lungnah uh atah balae thapang na dang eh? Mangmucoi rhoek long pataeng te te a saii uh van moenih a?
For if you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same?
47 Na manuca bueng na toidal uh koinih balae a pueh na saii uh tloe, namtom rhoek long khaw te te a saii uh moenih a?
And if you say, Good day, to your brothers only, what do you do more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same?
48 Te dongah vaan kah na Pa loh lungcuei la a om bangla nangmih khaw lungcuei la om uh.
Be then complete in righteousness, even as your Father in heaven is complete.
