3 Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

4 Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.

5 Happy are the gentle: for the earth will be their heritage.

6 Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire.

7 Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.

8 Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.

9 Happy are the peacemakers: for they will be named sons of God.

10 Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.

11 Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.

12 Be glad and full of joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so were the prophets attacked who were before you.

3 Salige er de fattige i ånden; for himlenes rike er deres.

4 Salige er de som sørger; for de skal trøstes.

5 Salige er de saktmodige; for de skal arve jorden.

6 Salige er de som hungrer og tørster efter rettferdighet; for de skal mettes.

7 Salige er de barmhjertige; for de skal finne barmhjertighet.

8 Salige er de rene av hjertet; for de skal se Gud.

9 Salige er de fredsommelige; for de skal kalles Guds barn.

10 Salige er de som er forfulgt for rettferdighets skyld; for himlenes rike er deres.

11 Salige er I når de spotter og forfølger eder og lyver eder allehånde ondt på for min skyld.

12 Gled og fryd eder! for eders lønn er stor i himmelen; for således forfulgte de profetene før eder.
