Matthai 5
1 Thlang kqeng ce a huh awh, tlang na kai nawh ngawi hy, cawh a hubatkhqi ce a venna law uhy.
Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 Cekcoengawh a hubatkhqi ce vemyihna cawngpyi khqi hy:
He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 Kawlung ak khawdeng thlangkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih khan qam taw a mingmih a koe ni.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit! for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven (God).
4 Kawset ing ak kokhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih a mingngaih qep kaw.
Blessed are those who mourn! for they shall be comforted.
5 Kaw ak dungkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih khawmdek qo pang kawm uh.
Blessed are the meek! for they shall inherit the Land.
6 Dyngnaak ce buh a myihna cawi nawh tui a myihna ak hoetkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih amik phoen phyi kaw.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness! For they shall be filled.
7 Thlang qeenkhaw ak ngaikhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih qeennaak ce hu lawt kawm uh.
Blessed are the merciful! for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Kawlung ak ciimkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih Khawsa ce hu kawm uh.
Blessed are the pure in heart! for they shall see God.
9 Qoepnaak ak saikhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih Khawsa cakhqi tinawh khy kawm uh.
Blessed are the peacemakers! for they shall be called children of God.
10 Dyngnaak awh thekhanaak ak zawkkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih khawk khan taw a mingmih a koe ni.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake! for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven (God).
11 Thlangkhqi ing kai ak camawh ni phep khqi uhy, ni thekha nak khqi uhy, amak thym na awihche soepkep ing ani zyih khqi awh ce nami zoseen hy.
“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Ym u nawhtaw namik kawzeel sak uh, Ikawtih nangmih aham khawkkhan awh kutdo ak bau soeih awm hy, cemyihna ni nangmih nami awm hlan awhkaw tawnghakhqi awm a mina thekhanaak hawhy.
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 Nangmih taw khawmdek ci na awm u hyk ti. Cehlai ci ing a paih hawh awhtaw ikawmyihna a alnaak voel kaw? khawng nawh thlang ngawh khaw ing leh aham doeng kaataw, kawna awm phu am ta voel hy.
“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.
14 Nangmih taw khawmdek vangnaak na awm uhyk ti. Tlang awhkhaw ak awm taw ikaw ingawm am chungdah thai hy.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.
15 Thlang ing mai a vang awh, dawn ing am myk nawh, maihvang ami taaknaak khawi awh ni ami taak, cawh ni ipkhui awhkaw ak awmkhqi boeih ce ak coei.
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 Cemih lawtna, nangmih a them leek sai ce thlang ing a huh awh khawkkhan nakaw ak awm nangmih a Pa ce ami kyihcahnaak thai kaw, nami vangnaak ce thlang amik huh awh vang lah seh.
Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify 'Avikah shebashamayim ·your Father in Heaven·.
17 Anaa awi aw am awh tawnghakhqik awi hqe aham kai ve law hy tinawh koeh poek uh; hqe aham am law nyng ak soep sak hamna ni ka law.
“Don’t think that I came to destroy the Torah ·Teaching· or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, khawmdek ingkaw khan ang khum hlan dy, anaa awi awhkaw a dek pynoet ca awm, calung pynoet ca awm ik-oeih soepkep a cup hlan dy taw am qeng tikaw.
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 Torah ·Teaching·, until all things are accomplished.
19 A u ingawm vawhkaw awipeek ak zawi cakhqi ak khui awhkaw pynoet ce eek nawh thlak chang awm eek lawt aham am cuuk awhtaw anih ce khawkkhan awh ak zawi soeih na awm kaw, cehlai a u ingawm vemyihkhqi boeih ve hquut nawh thlak chang awm a cawngpyi awhtaw anih ce khawk khan awh ak bau soeih na awm kaw.
Therefore, whoever shall disobey the least mitzvot ·instructions· and teaches others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven (God). But whoever shall obey them and so teaches shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven (God).
20 Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, nangmih ama dyngnaak ing Farasikhqi ingkaw caqeekungkhqi a dyngnaak ce ama poe voelh awhtaw khawkkhan awh am lut thai ti kawp uk ti.
For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Torah-Teachers and Pharisees [Separated], there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (God).
21 “Syn awh, thlang koeh him, u awm thlang ak him taw awidengnaak kqih awm ce hu kaw,” tinawh ami nak kqawn ce za hawh u hyk ti.
“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.’
22 Cehlai, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, a u awm a koeinaaa ak khan awh kaw ak so taw awidengnaak ce hu kaw. A u awm a koeinaa ce “Thlak zoe” ak tinaak taw Sanhedrin awh awidengna awm kaw. A u awm thlang ce, 'thlak qaw!' ak tinaak taw hell mai kqih awm ce zawk kaw. (Geenna g1067)
But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment; and whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca! ·Vain, empty, worthless, to spit upon, good-for-nothing·!’ will be in danger of the Sanhedrin ·Sitting together·; and whoever says, ‘Fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna (Place of fiery torment for the dead). (Geenna g1067)
23 Cedawngawh bawkthang awh ik-oeih pek aham nami law pyi awh na koeinaa ing nak khan awh ak kaw am law hy tice na sim awhtaw,
“If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 bawkthang a haiawh na themkhqi ce cehta nawh hlat cang. Na koeinaa ingqawi qoepnaak ce na sai coengawh cet nawhtaw na them ce pe kawp ti.
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 Awidengnaak awh taza anik cawikung na qaal ingqawi lam nani ceh haih tloek awh ang tawnnna qoepnaak sai. Cemyih am awhtaw na qaal ing nang ce awidengnaak kung na a ni khyn coengawh awidengkung ing nang ce boei a venawh ni pe patoe kaw, anih ing nang ce thawngim na nik thla kaw.
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.
26 Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, laiba a boeih dy na sah hlan khui taw thawngim awhkawng am loet kawp ti.
Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there, until you have paid the last quadrans coin (Roman quarter coin about 3/8 of a cent).
27 “Na samphaih aham am awm hy”, tinawh amik kqawn awi ce za hawh uhyk ti.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not moicheuo ·commit adultery·;’
28 Cehlai, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u ingawm nu pynoet ce hyynaak mik ing a toek awhtaw, ak kawlung khuiawh cawhkaw nu ak khan awh ce samphaih hawh hy.
but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has moicheuo ·committed adultery· with her already in his heart.
29 Nak tang mik ing a ni thawlh sak awhtaw, koeih nawh khawng; na pum boeih ing hell khuina nang tlaak anglakawh na pum awh ik-oeih pynoet na taal ce nep bet hy. (Geenna g1067)
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 (Place of fiery torment for the dead). (Geenna g1067)
30 Nak tangkut ing a ni thawlh sak awhtaw tlyk boet nawh khawng. Na pum awhkaw ik-oeih pynoet na taal ce nep bet hy. (Geenna g1067)
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 (Place of fiery torment for the dead). (Geenna g1067)
31 “U ingawm a zu ce a ma awhtaw, zu manaak ca ce pe seh” tinawh amik kqawn awi ce a na awm hawh hy.
“It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a get ·certificate of divorce·,’
32 Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, a va ak khan awh a thawlh awh ti kaana, u ingawm a zu ce a ma awhtaw a zu ce samphaih sak hy, cekcoengawh u ingawm thlang a zu ma ak zu naak taw samphaih na awm hy.
but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of porhneia ·sexual immorality·, makes her moicheuo ·become an adulterer·; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits moichao ·act of adultery·.
33 Cekcoeng bai awh, 'nak awisa ce koeh hqe, Bawipa venawh nak awisa ce cup sak lah', tinawh syn awh ami nak kqawn awm za hawh u hyk ti.
“Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to MarYah [Master Yahweh] your vows,’
34 Cehlai, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, awi koeh sa qoe qoe uh: khawkkhan phoei nawh awi koeh sa, kawtih khawkkhan taw Khawsa a ngawihdoelh ni;
but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither 'by heaven', for it is the throne of God;
35 khawmdek awm phoei unawh awi koeh sa uh, kawtih khawmdek awm a khaw a soengnaak ni; Jerusalem awm phoei unawh awi koeh sa uh, kawtih Jerusalem taw sangpahrang boei a khawk bau ni.
nor 'by the earth', for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem [City of peace], for it is the city of the great King.
36 Nami lu phoei unawh awi koeh sa uh, kawtih na lu awhkaw na lumsam pynoet ca awm am baawk, am lee sak thai hyk ti.
Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.
37 Ak thym ce 'thym hy' ti unawh taw amak thym ce 'am thym hy' ti mai uh; ve ak khan awh awi ak law bai taw them amak leek hawh ni.
But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 'Mik ang zyng awh mik, haa ang zyng awh haa', tinawh awi amik nak kqawn awm za hawh u hyk ti.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
39 Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, thlakche ce koeh oelh uh. Nak tang ben na beeng awh thlang ing anik beih awhtaw ak chang ben na beeng ce awm dun pe.
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.
40 Thlang ing na angki ce lawh aham a ngaih a dawngawh awi a ni oelh awhtaw, hi awm peek sih mai.
If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
41 Thlang ing meng oet a ni qyt ngah ngah awhtaw meng hih dy awh thak.
Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Thlang ing ik-oeih a thoeh awhtaw pe mai, na venawh ik-oeih pu aham ak law ce koeh hawi taak.
Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 “Na imceng ce lungna nawhtaw na qaal cetaw sawh na,” tinawh qee hyt awi ak awm ce zahawh u hyk ti.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall show agapao ·total devoted love· to your neighbor and hate and detest your enemy.’
44 Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, nami qaal ce lung law na uh, nangmih awihche ing anik zyi thlangkhqi ce zoseenaak pe law uh; nangmih anik sawhnaakkhqi aham them leek sai law pe uh,
But I tell you, show agapao ·total devoted love· to your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate and detest you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
45 cawh ni khawk khan awh ak awm nangmih a Pa a cakhqi na nami awm hly. Anih ingtaw thlakche ingkaw thlakleek ak khan awh khaw ang myih na law sak nawh, thlakdyng ingkaw thlakthawlh ak khan awh awm khaw ang myih na aa sak hy.
that you may be children of 'Avikah shebashamayim ·your Father 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 Nangmih anik lungnaakkhqi doeng nami lungnaak mantaw ikaw kutdo nu nami huh kaw? Mangmu ak cawikhqi ingza cemyihce am sai lawt uhy na ti nawh nu?
For if you show agapao ·total devoted love· those who show agapao ·total devoted love· to you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
47 Na koeinaa doeng na ym mantaw, thlak chang anglakawh na leeknaak bet ikaw a awm? Lukih thlangkhqi ingza cemyih ce am sai uhy na ti nawh nu?
If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
48 Khawkkhan nakaw ak awm nangmih a Pa a soep lawt a myihna nangmih awm soep lawt lah uh.
Therefore you shall be perfect, just as 'Avikah shebashamayim ·your Father in Heaven· is perfect.
