Matthew 5
1 Tua mihonpi te Jesus in a mu ciang in mualtung ah kato hi: a tosuk zawkciang, a nungzui te a kung ah hongpai uh hi:
Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 Taciang a kam hong in, amate thuhil a,
He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 Thaa thu ah a zawngkhal te thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile vantung ki ukna sia amate a, a hihi.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit! for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven (God).
4 Thum le tau in a kap te thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile amate in henepna nga tu hi.
Blessed are those who mourn! for they shall be comforted.
5 Mi nunneam te thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile amate in leitung ngamh lua tu uh hi.
Blessed are the meek! for they shall inherit the Land.
6 Thutang suana an du tui du bang in a du te thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile amate a ngilva kik tu hi.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness! For they shall be filled.
7 Hesuakna neite thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile amate hesuakna ma sangkik tu hi.
Blessed are the merciful! for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Thinsung thiangtho te thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile amate in Pathian mu tu hi.
Blessed are the pure in heart! for they shall see God.
9 Kilemna a vawt te thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile amate Pathian tate kici tu hi.
Blessed are the peacemakers! for they shall be called children of God.
10 Thutang suana hang in vawtsiatna a thuak te thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile vantung ngam sia amate a, a hihi.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake! for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven (God).
11 Keima hang in ngual in mawsiatna taw hong vawtsia a, leilot thu a tatuam a son ciang in, thuphatoai na hi uh hi.
“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Lungdam vun a, angtang vun, banghangziam cile vantung ah na thaman uh lian mama hi: banghangziam cile note mai ah kamsang te zong tabang ma in vawtsia ngei uh hi.
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 Note sia leitung i ci na hi uh hi: ahihang ci sia a al na a om nawn bale, bangbang in al kik thei tu ziam? doipua ah vawk in peangtaw sikcil tu simngawl bangma phatuam ngawl hi.
“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 Note sia leitung i khuavak na hi uh hi. Mualdawn ah a kisa khuapi sia kilia thei ngeingawl hi.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.
15 Kuama in khuaimei a det ciang khum taw khup ngei ngawl hi, meidetna munsang na ah suan in de hi; taciang tua meivang in innsung theampo tangsak hi.
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 Na khuavak uh midang te muna ah tang tahen, tabang in amate in a pha na vawt te mu tu a, van ah a om na Pa pokna pia tu uh hi.
Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify 'Avikah shebashamayim ·your Father in Heaven·.
17 Keima sia thukham le kamsang te thu siatsua tu in hongpai hi, ci in ngaisun heak vun: siatsua tu in hongpai ngawl khi hi, a kicingsak tu in hongpai zaw khi hi.
“Don’t think that I came to destroy the Torah ·Teaching· or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Amantak kong son hi, van le lei a bo zong thukham sung pan a nobel bawkno khat zong khuangkhim ngawl in bo thong ngawl tu hi.
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 Tua ahikom, a kuamapo in, thupiak te sung pan a nobel khat pealkhial in, ngualdang thu a hil le, vantung kumpingam sung ah a nobel hi kici tu hi: ahizong in a kuamapo in thupiakte seam a, ngualdang zong a hil le, vantung kumpingam sung ah lian hi, kici tu hi.
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 Banghangziam cile, thukhamhil te le Pharisee te na dem zo bua u le, vantung kumpingam sung ah tum thei ngawl tu nu hi, ci in kong son hi.
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 Nidanglai in, tualthat heak in; tualthat te thukhenna thuak tu kilawm hi, ci thu na zazo uh hi.
“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 Ahihang keima in hibang in kong ci hi, a kuamapo matlap nei ngawl in a suapui te tung ah a thin-uk peuma, thukhenna thuak tu hi: taciang a kuamapo in, a suapui a zawngsak sia zong thukhen upa te kung puak tu kilawm hi: a kuamapo in, a suapuipa mi ngoai a ci peuma, hell sung a theng tu kilawm hi. (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 Tua ahikom biaktau tung ah piak tu na ken ciang in, na suapui khatpo i hong mawsiatna khatpo na phawk le,
“If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 Na piaktu sia biaktau mai ah nusia phot in a, na suapuipa kung ah pai masa in; kilemna na vawt zawkciang, biakpiakna pia kik pheang in.
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 Khat po in thu hong vawt a hile, zumkong na thetma in, lamkallak ah manlang in ama taw thukimna vawt pak in; tabang a hibale, thukhen te kung hong ap tu a, thukhen te in palik te hong ap in, palik te in thonginn ah hong khia tu hi.
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 A mantak kong ci ciang, liausum na piak siat mateng thonginn sung pan na suakta thei batu hi.
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 Nidang in palngul mawna vawtheak in, ci sia na zaksa uh a hihi:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not moicheuo ·commit adultery·;’
28 Ahizong tu in, khatpo in numei khat khialpui nopna thin taw a en a hile, a thinsung pan tua nu taw khial zo hi.
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 Na ziatsang mit in hong khialsak a hile, khelkeak in vawk in: na pumpi vekpi taw hell sung ah na ki khiak tu sang in pumpi khen khat na sup tu phazaw hi. (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 Na ziatsang khut in hong khialsak le, tan in vawk in: na pumpi vekpi taw hell sung ah na ki khiak tu sang in pumpi khen khat na sup tu phazaw hi. (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 Khat po in a zi a khul nuam a hile, khulna lai pia tahen, kici hi:
“It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a get ·certificate of divorce·,’
32 Ahihang keima in, khatpo in paktatna thu simngawl a zi a khul le, a zi sia palngul mawna vawt suaksak hi, taciang tua a ki khul numei a tenpui kik pa zong, palngul mawna vawt ma hi veve hi.
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 Nidang in, kamciam pia heak in, ahihang Topa kung ah na kiciamna te tangtun in, ci thu na zazo uh hi:
“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 Ahihang kei ka hile hibang kong ci hi, kiciamna vawt lilim heak in; van sam in kiciam heak in; banghangziam cile Pathian kumpi tokhum a hihi:
but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither 'by heaven', for it is the throne of God;
35 Lei sam in kiciam heak in; banghangziam cile Pathian i peang ngak na mun hi: Jerusalem sam zong kiciam heak in; banghangziam cile a lian kumpipa omna mun khuapi a hihi.
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 Na lu sam in zong kiciam heak in, banghangziam cile na samzamno khat vomsak le kangsak thei ngawl ni hi.
Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.
37 Ahihang, ngualdang taw na ki paupui ciang in, A “hi” te ‘hi'; a “hi ngawl” te “hi ngawl” ma ci vun: banghangziam cile hi teng zawkciang sia pha nawn ngawl hi.
But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 Mittang khat luang in mit tang khat, hatang khat luang in ha tang khat, ci thu na zaksa uh a hihi:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
39 Ahihang kei hibang in kong ci hi, siatna te na khak heak vun: khatpo in na ziatsang biang hong beang le, na veisang biang zong daw vet lai in.
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 Khatpo in na puansil dei in thu hong vawt le, na tungsil zong pia vet in.
If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
41 Nang hong zawthawkvawt khatpo in tai khat hongpaisak le, tai ni dong paipui vet in.
Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Van hong ngen te pia in, ciang hong pu nuam te zong nial heak in.
Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 Na innpam it in, na ngal te ensan in, ci thu na zaksa uh a hihi.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall show agapao ·total devoted love· to your neighbor and hate and detest your enemy.’
44 Ahihang kei kong cina pan, na ngal te uh it vun a, no hong hamsiat te thupha pia vun, no hong ensan te atu thungetsak vun;
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 Tabang in vantung a om na Pa uh i tate na hi tu uh hi: banghangziam cile Ama in misia le mipha te tung ah ni suaksak a, thuman le thuman ngawl te tung ah ngua zusak hi.
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 Banghangziam cile no hong it te bek na it uh le, bang thaman a om ziam? siadong te nangawn zong in tabangma seam hi ngawl ziam?
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 suapui te bek na paupui uh le, ngualdang taw bang ki lamdang nu ziam? siadong te zong tabangma vawt hi ngawl ziam?
If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
48 Vantung a na Pa uh cialcing ahi bangma in, no zong na cialcing uh kul hi, ci hi.
Therefore you shall be perfect, just as 'Avikah shebashamayim ·your Father in Heaven· is perfect.
