< 马太福音 5 >

1 耶稣看见这许多的人,就上了山,既已坐下,门徒到他跟前来,
And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 他就开口教训他们,说:
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 虚心的人有福了! 因为天国是他们的。
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 哀恸的人有福了! 因为他们必得安慰。
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 温柔的人有福了! 因为他们必承受地土。
Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 饥渴慕义的人有福了! 因为他们必得饱足。
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 怜恤人的人有福了! 因为他们必蒙怜恤。
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 清心的人有福了! 因为他们必得见 神。
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 使人和睦的人有福了! 因为他们必称为 神的儿子。
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
10 为义受逼迫的人有福了! 因为天国是他们的。
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “人若因我辱骂你们,逼迫你们,捏造各样坏话毁谤你们,你们就有福了!
"Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 应当欢喜快乐,因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的。在你们以前的先知,人也是这样逼迫他们。”
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 “你们是世上的盐。盐若失了味,怎能叫它再咸呢?以后无用,不过丢在外面,被人践踏了。
"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 你们是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隐藏的。
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 人点灯,不放在斗底下,是放在灯台上,就照亮一家的人。
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 你们的光也当这样照在人前,叫他们看见你们的好行为,便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。”
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 “莫想我来要废掉律法和先知。我来不是要废掉,乃是要成全。
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 我实在告诉你们,就是到天地都废去了,律法的一点一画也不能废去,都要成全。
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 所以,无论何人废掉这诫命中最小的一条,又教训人这样做,他在天国要称为最小的。但无论何人遵行这诫命,又教训人遵行,他在天国要称为大的。
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 我告诉你们,你们的义若不胜于文士和法利赛人的义,断不能进天国。”
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 “你们听见有吩咐古人的话,说:‘不可杀人’;又说:‘凡杀人的难免受审判。’
"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
22 只是我告诉你们,凡向弟兄动怒的,难免受审断;凡骂弟兄是拉加的,难免公会的审断;凡骂弟兄是魔利的,难免地狱的火。 (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 hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 所以,你在祭坛上献礼物的时候,若想起弟兄向你怀怨,
"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 就把礼物留在坛前,先去同弟兄和好,然后来献礼物。
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 你同告你的对头还在路上,就赶紧与他和息,恐怕他把你送给审判官,审判官交付衙役,你就下在监里了。
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 我实在告诉你,若有一文钱没有还清,你断不能从那里出来。”
Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 “你们听见有话说:‘不可奸淫。’
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
28 只是我告诉你们,凡看见妇女就动淫念的,这人心里已经与她犯奸淫了。
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 若是你的右眼叫你跌倒,就剜出来丢掉,宁可失去百体中的一体,不叫全身丢在地狱里。 (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 hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 若是右手叫你跌倒,就砍下来丢掉,宁可失去百体中的一体,不叫全身下入地狱。” (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 hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “又有话说:‘人若休妻,就当给她休书。’
"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
32 只是我告诉你们,凡休妻的,若不是为淫乱的缘故,就是叫她作淫妇了;人若娶这被休的妇人,也是犯奸淫了。”
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 “你们又听见有吩咐古人的话,说:‘不可背誓,所起的誓总要向主谨守。’
"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 只是我告诉你们,什么誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓,因为天是 神的座位;
But I tell you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 不可指着地起誓,因为地是他的脚凳;也不可指着耶路撒冷起誓,因为耶路撒冷是大君的京城;
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 又不可指着你的头起誓,因为你不能使一根头发变黑变白了。
Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 你们的话,是,就说是;不是,就说不是;若再多说就是出于那恶者。”
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 “你们听见有话说:‘以眼还眼,以牙还牙。’
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
39 只是我告诉你们,不要与恶人作对。有人打你的右脸,连左脸也转过来由他打;
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 有人想要告你,要拿你的里衣,连外衣也由他拿去;
And if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
41 有人强逼你走一里路,你就同他走二里;
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 有求你的,就给他;有向你借贷的,不可推辞。”
Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 “你们听见有话说:‘当爱你的邻舍,恨你的仇敌。’
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
44 只是我告诉你们,要爱你们的仇敌,为那逼迫你们的祷告。
But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45 这样就可以作你们天父的儿子;因为他叫日头照好人,也照歹人;降雨给义人,也给不义的人。
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 你们若单爱那爱你们的人,有什么赏赐呢?就是税吏不也是这样行吗?
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 你们若单请你弟兄的安,比人有什么长处呢?就是外邦人不也是这样行吗?
And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
48 所以,你们要完全,像你们的天父完全一样。”
You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
