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 Ka koa te hunga he rawakore nei te wairua: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

4 Ka koa te hunga e tangi ana: ka whakamarietia hoki ratou.

5 Ka koa te hunga ngakau mahaki: ka riro hoki i a ratou te whenua.

6 Ka koa te hunga e hiakai ana, e hiainu ana, ki te tika: e makona hoki ratou.

7 Ka koa te hunga tohu tangata: e tohungia hoki ratou.

8 Ka koa te hunga ngakau ma: e kite hoki ratou i te Atua.

9 Ka koa te hunga hohou rongo: ka huaina hoki ratou he tamariki na te Atua.

10 Ka koa te hunga e whakatoia ana mo te tika: no ratou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

11 Ka koa koutou ina tawai ratou i a koutou, ina whakatoi, ina puaki i a ratou nga kupu kino katoa mo koutou, he mea teka, he whakaaro hoki ki ahau.

12 Kia hari, kia whakamanamana: he rahi hoki te utu mo koutou i te rangi: he penei hoki ta ratou whakatoi i nga poropiti i mua i a koutou.
