Mateo 5
1 Idi nakita ni Jesus dagiti adu a tattao, simmang-at isuna iti bantay. Idi nagtugaw isuna, immay dagiti adalanna kenkuana.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a hillside. He sat down [in order to teach] his disciples. They came near to him [to listen to him].
2 Nagsao ket sinuroanna ida, a kunana,
Then he began to teach them by saying,
3 “Nabendisionan dagiti napanglaw iti espiritu, ta kukuada ti pagarian ti langit.
[God] is pleased with people who recognize that they have a spiritual [need]; he will allow them to be the people whose lives he rules over.
4 Nabendisionan dagiti agladladingit, ta maliwliwadanto.
[God] is pleased with people who mourn [because they have sinned; ] they will be encouraged {he will encourage them.}
5 Nabendisionan dagiti naemma, ta tawidendanto ti daga.
[God] is pleased with people who are meek; they will inherit the earth [that God will recreate].
6 Nabendisionan dagiti mabisin ken mawaw iti kinalinteg, ta mapunnodanto.
[God] is pleased with people who sincerely [desire to live] righteously [just like they] desire to eat and drink [MET]; they will be enabled {he will enable them} to do all that he desires [MET].
7 Nabendisionan dagiti manangngaasi, ta magun-oddanto ti asi.
[God] is pleased with people who act mercifully; he will act mercifully to them.
8 Nabendisionan dagiti nasin-aw ti pusona, ta makitadanto ti Dios.
[God] is pleased with people who think only about that which pleases him; [some day] they will [be where] God is and will see him.
9 Nabendisionan dagiti mamagkappia, ta maawagandanto nga annak ti Dios.
[God] is pleased with people who help other people to live peacefully; they will be considered to be {he will consider that they are} his children [MET].
10 Nabendisionan dagiti maparparigat gapu iti kinalinteg, ta kukuadanto ti pagarian ti langit.
[God is pleased with] people to whom evil things are done {to whom [other people] do evil things} because they [conducted themselves] righteously; he will allow them to be where he rules over people.
11 Nabendisionankayo no laisendakayo ken parigatendakayo dagiti tattao, wenno isawangda amin a kita ti dakes a banbanag maibusor kadakayo gapu kaniak.
[God is pleased with] you when [other] people insult you, when [other people] do evil things to you and when [other people] say falsely [that] you are evil because [you believe in] me.
12 Agrag-o ken agragsakkayo la unay, ta naindaklan ti gunggonayo sadi langit. Ta iti kastoy a wagas a pinarigat dagiti tattao dagiti profeta a nagbiag sakbay kadakayo.
[When that happens], rejoice and be glad [DOU], because [God will give] you a great reward in heaven. [God will think highly of you], just like [he thought highly of] the prophets whom your [ancestors persecuted] long ago.
13 Dakayo ti asin ti daga. Ngem no napukawen ti raman ti asin, kasano a pagbalinen manen a naapgad? Saanen a pulos a nasayaat para iti aniaman a banag, malaksid nga ibelleng iti ruar ket mapayatpayatan dagiti tattao.
“You are [able to influence] evil [people] [MTY] [and improve the way they live in order that they do not become more evil, just like] salt [is able to improve the flavor of food and to preserve it] [MET] [from spoiling]. Salt that no longer tastes salty cannot become salty again [RHQ]. As a result, that salt becomes useless. It is rejected by people, thrown on the ground, and walked on {People reject it, throw it on the ground and walk on it} [MET]. [Similarly, if the way you live no longer influences people to live in a godly manner, God will reject you].
14 Dakayo ti silaw ti lubong. Ti siudad a nabangon iti rabaw ti turod ket saan a mailemmeng.
You [enable] evil [people] [MTY] [to perceive God’s truth as] a light [enables people to perceive what is around them. Just like] everyone can see [LIT] [the lights of] a city on a hill [MET], [other people can see what you do].
15 Kasta met nga awan ti tao a mangsindi iti pagsilawan sana ikabil iti sirok ti maysa a basket, ngem ikabilna ketdi iti nairanta a pagsilawan, ket aglawag para iti tumunggal maysa nga adda iti balay.
After people light a lamp, they never put it under a basket. Instead, [they put it] on a lampstand in their houses in order that it can shine on everyone there.
16 Pagraniagenyo dagiti silawyo iti imatang dagiti tattao iti wagas a makitada dagiti nasayaat nga aramidyo ket dayawenda ti Dios Ama nga adda sadi langit.
[Similarly], you need to do [what is right] [MET] in such a manner that other people can see the good deeds that you do, and as a result they will praise your Father [who is] in heaven.”
17 Saanyo a panunoten nga immayak a mangdadael iti linteg wenno dagiti profeta. Saanak nga immay tapno dadaelen ida, ngem tapno tungpalen dagitoy.
“I came to earth, not to annul the laws [that God gave Moses] or [what] the prophets [MTY] [wrote]. Instead, I [came] to cause to happen [what the authors of those books predicted would happen]. So do not think any longer that I have come [to earth] in order that I might annul [what they wrote].
18 Ta pudno, ibagak kadakayo nga agingga a mapukaw ti langit ken daga, awan ti uray maysa a kur-it wenno tolnek a mapukaw manipud iti linteg, agingga a matungpal amin a banbanag.
Keep this in mind: [Every] point of those laws, [including those points that seem] least important, and even the smallest details of the laws [MTY] will surely be in effect [HYP, LIT] until the heavens and the earth disappear and until all [that God told their authors to write] happens.
19 Ngarud, siasinoman a mangsalungasing iti kababaan kadagitoy a bilbilin ken mangisuro kadagitoy iti dadduma tapno aramidenda met ket maawaganto a kababaan idiay pagarian ti langit. Ngem siasinoman a mangtungpal kadagitoy ken mangisuro kadagitoy ket maawaganto a natan-ok idiay pagarian ti langit.
Since [all God’s laws are important], if anyone disobeys any of those commandments, [even if it would be] one of the least [important ones], and if that person teaches people [to disobey any of those commandments], it will be said {[God] will say} that that person is the least [important] of those in the place where [EUP] God rules. But those who obey [those commandments] and teach [other people to obey them, it will be said] {[God] will say} that they are very important among those that God rules.
20 Ta ibagak kadakayo a makastrekkayo iti pagarian ti langit no maartapan ti kinalintegyo ti kinalinteg dagiti eskriba ken dagiti Pariseo.
Keep this in mind: [You assume that] the Pharisees and the men who teach our laws [faithfully obey] what God commands. But if you do not obey those laws better than they obey them, you will by no means enter the place where God rules.”
21 Nangngeganyo a naibaga kadakuada idi un-unana a tiempo, 'Saanka a pumatay,' ken, 'Siasinoman a pumatay ket agpeggadto iti pannakaukom.'
“You have heard [your religious teachers say] that it was said {that [Moses] said} to your ancestors, ‘Do not murder [anyone.’ This implied that] if someone murders [another person], the judge will condemn that person [and] sentence him to be [executed] {[say that someone must execute him]}.
22 Ngem ibagak kadakayo a tunggal maysa a makaunget iti kabsatna ket agpeggadto iti pannakaukom. Ken siasinoman a mangibaga iti kabsatna, 'Awan serserbim a tao!' ket agpeggadto iti konseho. Ket siasinoman a mangibaga iti, 'Sika a maag!' ket agpeggadto iti apuy ti impierno. (Geenna g1067)
But what I say to you is this: [If you are] angry with someone, [God] will judge you. If you say to someone, ‘[You are worthless],’ the Jewish Council will judge you. If you [hate someone], and say to them 'You fool!' you. yourself, will be in danger of being thrown into the fires in hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 Ngarud no mangidatagka iti sagutmo idiay altar ket idiay nalagipmo a ti kabsatmo ket addaan iti sakit ti nakem kenka,
So, when you take your gift [for God] to the altar, if you remember that you have offended someone,
24 ibatim ti sagutmo iti sango ti altar, ket mapanka iti dalanmo. Makikappiaka pay nga umuna iti kabsatmo, ket kalpasanna mapanka ket idatagnmo ti sagutmo.
leave your gift by the altar, and first go [to the person you have offended]. Tell that person that you are sorry for what you have done, and ask that person to forgive you. Then go back and offer your gift [to God].
25 Makikinnaawatanka a dagus iti nangidarum kenka kabayatan a kaduam isuna iti dalan a mapan iti pangukoman, wenno saan ti nangidarum kenka ket ipaimanaka iti ukom, ket ti ukom ipaimanaka iti opisial, ket mabalin a maibaludka iti pagbaludan.
[Also], when a fellow citizen [takes you to court in order to] accuse you, settle accounts with that person quickly while you are walking with that person [to court]. Do that [while there still is time to do so] in order that he will not take you to the judge, [because if] the judge [favors the person who is accusing you, he will declare that you are guilty and send you] to the prison guard, and the prison guard will put you in prison.
26 Pudno, ibagak kadakayo, saankanto a makarruar manipud sadiay agingga a mabayadam amin a binulodmo.
Keep this in mind: [If you go to prison], you will never get out [because you will never be able to] pay all that the judge says that you owe [MET]. [And remember also that] you [ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
27 Nangngegyo a naibaga, 'Saanka a makikamalala.'
“You have heard [God’s] commandment, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
28 Ngem ibagak kadakayo a siasinoman a kumita iti babai nga addaan panaggartem kenkuana ket nakikamalalan kenkuana iti pusona.
But what I say to you is this: If a man only looks at a woman desiring to have sex with her, [God considers that] his doing that [MET] is sin.
29 No ti makannawan a matam ti makagapu a maitublakka, suatem ken ibellengmo iti adayo manipud kenka. Ta nasaysayaat para kenka a mapukaw ti maysa a paset ti bagim ngem maitapuak ta sibubukel a bagim iti impierno. (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY] you [are tempted to] sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it!] It is good [that you not sin and] as a result [go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both of] your eyes. But it is not good [that you continue to have two eyes and sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Ket no ti makannawan nga imam ti makagapu a maitublakka, putdem ken ibellengmo iti adayo manipud kenka. Ta nasaysayaat para kenka a mapukaw ti maysa a paset ti bagim ngem ti itapuaknaka ti Dios ti entero a bagim iti impierno. (Geenna g1067)
If you are [tempted to] use one of your hands to sin [MTY], [stop using your hand. Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you do not sin and as a result you go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both] of your [hands]. But it is not good [that you sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell.” (Geenna g1067)
31 Naibaga pay, 'Siasinoman a mangpapanaw iti asawana a babai, ikkanna koma iti kasuratan ti panagsina.'
“It is written {[Moses] wrote}, ‘If a man is divorcing his wife, he should write a document [on which he states that he is] divorcing her.’
32 Ngem ibagak kadakayo a siasinoman a mangisina iti asawana a babai, malaksid no gapu iti kinaderrep, pagbalinenna isuna a mannakikamalala. Ken ti siasinoman a mangasawa kenkuana kalpasan a naisina ket makikamkamalala.
But [now listen to what] I say to you: [A man] may [divorce his wife] only if she has committed adultery, [and not for any other reason]. If a man divorces his wife [for any other reason, and he has sex with another woman], he makes his wife become one against whom he has committed adultery, [because in God’s estimation she still is his wife]. Also, if a man marries a woman who is divorced {whose husband has divorced her}, [God considers] him [guilty of] committing adultery.”
33 Nangngeganyo manen a naibaga kadagiti adda idi un-unana a tiempo, 'Diyo sapataan iti inuulbod ti kariyo, ngem tungpalenyo ti inkariyo iti Apo.'
“You have also heard [your religious teachers say] that it was written {that [Moses] wrote} to your ancestors, ‘Make sure that you do what you promised the Lord that you would do!’ [DOU]
34 Ngem ibagak kadakayo, saankayo nga agsapata uray pay babaen iti langit, ta isu ti trono ti Dios;
But [now listen to what] I say to you: Never promise to do anything and then ask a superior being to affirm [that what you are saying will happen. For example, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings in] heaven [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because heaven is where God [sits] on his throne [MTY] [to rule over people].
35 wenno babaen iti daga, ta isu ti pagbatayan dagiti sakana; wenno babaen iti Jerusalem, ta isu ti siudad ti naindaklan nga Ari.
[Also, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings] on earth [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because the earth is where God rests his feet [MET]. [Also, do] not [promise that you will do something and ask religious authorities] in Jerusalem [to affirm that you will do it], because Jerusalem is the city where [God], the great King [rules].
36 Saanyo nga iraman ti uloyo iti panagkariyo, ta saankayo a makaaramid iti maysa a buok a puraw wenno nangisit.
[Also, do not promise that you will do something and then say that] your head [should be cut off] {[someone should cut off] your head} [if you do not do it]. You are not [even] able to [change the color of the hair of your head by] making one [black] hair white or one [white] hair black.
37 Ngem kastoy koma ti kunayo, 'Wen, no wen,' wenno 'Saan, no saan.' Ta aniaman a banag a nalablabes ngem iti daytoy ket nagtaud iti daydiay a managdakdakes.
[If you talk about doing something], just say ‘Yes, I [will do it],’ or ‘No, I [will not do it].’ [If you say] anything more than that, it is from [Satan], the Evil One.”
38 Nangngegyo a naibaga, 'Mata para iti mata, ken ngipen para iti ngipen.'
“You have heard [your religious teachers say] that [it is written] {[Moses wrote]}, ‘[Retaliate like this]: [If someone damages] one of your eyes, [someone should damage] one of that person’s eyes. [If someone damages] one of your teeth, [someone should damage] one of that person’s teeth.’
39 Ngem ibagak kadakayo, saanyo a kalabanen ti managdakdakes. Ngem ketdi, siasinoman a mangtungpa iti makannawan a pingpingmo, itayam pay ti bangir a pingpingmo.
But [now listen to what] I say to you: Do not take revenge for evil [deeds done] {[that other people do]} [to you]. Instead, if someone [insults you by] striking you on one cheek, turn your other cheek toward that person [in order that he can strike it also].
40 Ket no adda agtarigagay a mangidarum kenka idiay pangukoman ken alaenna ti kawesmo, palubosam dayta a tao nga alaenna pay ti kagaymo.
If someone wants to sue you and take your (inner garment/shirt), give him your (outer garment/coat) also.
41 Ket siasinoman a mangpilit kenka a mangdaliasat iti maysa a milia, kumuyogka kenkuana iti dua.
If a [military authority] compels you to go with him one mile [and carry his gear], go with him two miles [and carry his gear].
42 Mangtedka iti siasinoman nga agdawat kenka, ken saanmo a tallikudan ti siasinoman nga agtarigagay nga agbulod kenka.
Also, if someone asks you for [something], give [him what he is asking for]. If someone requests you to lend him [something], do not refuse [to lend it to him].”
43 Nangngegyo a naibaga, 'Ayatem ti kaarrubam ken guraem ti kabusormo.'
“You have heard [your religious teachers say that it is written that Moses wrote], ‘Love the citizens of your country and hate your enemies.’
44 Ngem ibagak kadakayo, ayatenyo dagiti kabusoryo ken ikararaganyo dagiti mangparparigat kadakayo,
But [now listen to what] I say to you: Love your enemies [as well as your friends], and pray for those who cause you to suffer.
45 tapno agbalinkayo nga annak ti Amayo nga adda sadi langit. Ta inaramidna ti initna nga agraniag kadagiti dakes ken naimbag, ken mangmangted iti tudo kadagiti nalinteg ken saan a nalinteg.
Do that in order to imitate what [God], your Father [who is] in heaven, does. He desires that you [MET] do [like he does]. [He acts kindly to all people. For example, he causes] the sun to shine [equally] on wicked [people] and on good [people], and [he sends] rain [both] on righteous [people] and on unrighteous [people].
46 Ta no ay-ayatenyo dagiti mangay-ayat kadakayo, ania ti magunggonayo? Saan kadi nga uray dagiti agsingsingir iti buis ket aramidenda ti kasta met laeng a banag?
If you love [only] the people who love you, ([do not expect God to] reward you [in heaven]!/will [God] reward you [in heaven]?) [RHQ] [This is based on the fact that everyone], even the tax collectors, [who you think are very great sinners], love [RHQ] those who love them. [If you act like them], ([you are not any different from tax collectors!/in what way are you different from tax collectors]?) [RHQ]
47 Ket no dagiti laeng kakabsatyo ti kablaawanyo, ania ti ar-aramidenyo a nasaysayaat ngem kadagiti dadduma? Saan kadi nga uray dagiti Hentil ket aramidenda ti kasta met laeng a banag?
If you want [God] to bless only your friends, (you are not acting any better than other people!/are you acting any better than other people?) [RHQ] Even the non-Jews, [who you think sin very much] (OR, [you think are unacceptable to God]), want God to bless their friends [RHQ], [but God does not reward them for that].
48 Ngarud, masapul nga awan ti pagkuranganyo, kas iti Amayo nga adda sadi langit nga awan pagkuranganna.
[You need to love those who do not love you], and in that way become perfect as [God] your Father, [who is] in heaven, is perfect.”
