< Matthew 5 >

1 Having seen then the crowds He went up on the mountain, and when was sitting down He they came to Him the disciples of Him.
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him:
2 And opening the mouth of Him He was teaching them saying:
and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed [are] the poor in the spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed [are] those mourning, for they themselves will be comforted.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed [are] the meek, for they themselves will inherit the earth.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed [are] those hungering and thirsting for righteousness, for they themselves will be filled.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed [are] the merciful, for they themselves will receive mercy.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart, for they themselves God will see.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers, for they themselves sons of God will be called.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.
10 Blessed [are] those persecuted on account of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are you when they may insult you and they may persecute [you] and they may say all kinds of evil (declaration *k) against you lying on account of Me.
Blessed are ye when [men] shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 do rejoice and do exult, for the reward of you [is] great in the heavens; thus for they persecuted the prophets before you.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 You yourselves are the salt of the earth; if however the salt shall become tasteless, with what will it be salted? For no [thing] it is useful any longer only except for (being cast *N+kO) out (and *k) is to be trampled upon by men.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.
14 You yourselves are the light of the world; Not is able a city to be hidden on a hill lying;
Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.
15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket but upon the lampstand, and it shines for all those in the house.
Neither do [men] light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house.
16 Thus should shine the light of you before men so that they may see your good works and they may glorify the Father of you who [is] in the heavens.
Even so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Not may think that I have come to abolish the law or the Prophets; not I have come to abolish but to fulfill.
Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Amen for I say to you; until when may pass away the heaven and the earth, iota one or one stroke of a letter certainly not may pass away from the law until when everything may happen.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.
19 Who[ever] if then shall break one of the commandments of these the least and shall teach so the others, least he will be called in the kingdom of the heavens. who[ever] now maybe may keep and may teach [them], this [one] great will be called in the kingdom of the heavens.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 I say for to you that only unless shall abound your righteousness above [that] of the scribes and Pharisees, certainly not shall you enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients; Not you will murder; who[ever] now maybe may murder, liable will be to the judgment;’
Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 I myself however say to you that everyone who is being angry with the brother of him (in vain *KO) liable will be to the judgment; who[ever] now maybe may say to the brother of him; Raca,’ liable will be to the Sanhedrin; who[ever] now maybe may say; Fool, liable will be to the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 If therefore you shall offer the gift of you at the altar and there and there shall remember that the brother of you has something against you,
If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee,
24 do leave there the gift of you before the altar and do go away, first do be reconciled to the brother of you, and then having come do offer the gift of you.
leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 do be agreeing with the accuser of you quickly before which you are with him on the way otherwise otherwise you shall deliver the accuser to the judge, and the judge (you he may betray *KO) to the officer, and into prison you will be cast.
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Amen I say to you; certainly not you may come out from there until when you may pay the last kodranten!
Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing.
27 You have heard that it was said (to the ancients: *K) Not will you commit adultery.’
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 I myself however say to you that everyone who is looking upon a woman in order to lust after (her *N+kO) already has committed adultery with her in the heart of him.
but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 If now the eye of you right causes to stumble you, do pluck out it and do cast [it] from you; it is better indeed for you that may perish one of the members of you and not all the body of you may be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if the right of you hand causes to stumble you, do cut off it and do cast [it] from you; it is better indeed for you that may perish one of the members of you and not all the body of you into hell (may depart. *N+KO) (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 It was said also (that: *k) Who[ever] maybe may divorce the wife of him, he should give to her a letter of divorce.’
It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 I myself however say to you that (everyone who is divorcing *N+kO) the wife of him except on account of sexual immorality causes her (to be adulterated; *N+KO) And who[ever] if divorced shall marry, commits adultery.
but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery.
33 Again you have heard that it was said to the ancients; Not will you swear falsely, you will keep now to the Lord the oaths of you.
Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 I myself however say to you not to swear at all, neither [swear] by heaven because [the] throne it is of God,
but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 nor [swear] by the earth because [the] footstool it is of the feet of Him, nor [swear] by Jerusalem because [the] city it is of the great King,
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 nor by the head of you may you swear because not you are able one hair white to make or black.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 should be however the statement of you Yes Yes, [and] ‘No ‘No; The however excessive of these from evil comes.
But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil [one].
38 You have heard that it was said; Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’
Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 I myself however say to you not to resist the evil [person]. Instead whoever you (strike on *N+kO) the right cheek of you, do turn to him also the other;
but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 and to the [one] willing you to sue and the tunic of you to take, do yield to him also the cloak;
And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
41 and whoever you will compel to go mile one, do go with him two.
And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him twain.
42 To the [one] asking you (do give *N+kO) and the [one] desiring from you to borrow not may you turn away from.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 You have heard that it was said; You will love the neighbour of you and will hate the enemy of you.’
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy:
44 I myself however say to you; do love the enemies of you (do bless those cursing you well do *K) (to those hating *K+o) (you *K) and do pray for those (mistreating you and *K) persecuting you,
but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;
45 so that you may be sons of the Father of you who is in (the *o) heavens, For the sun of Him He makes rise on evil and good and He sends rain on righteous and unrighteous.
that ye may be sons of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.
46 If for you shall love those loving you, what reward have you? Surely also the tax collectors the (same *NK+o) do?
For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if you shall greet the (brothers *NK+O) of you only, what excessive do you? Surely also the (Gentiles *N+KO) (the *no) (same *N+kO) do?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the Gentiles the same?
48 Will be therefore you yourselves perfect (how *N+kO) the Father of you who (Heavenly *N+KO) perfect is.
Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
