1 Seeing and the multitudes, he went up to the mountain; and having seated himself, came to him the disciples of him;

2 and opening the mouth of him, he taught them, saying:

3 Blessed the poor to the spirit; because of them is the kingdom of the heavens.

4 Blessed the mourners, for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed the hungering and thirsting the righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

7 Blessed the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed the clean to the heart, for they the God shall see.

9 Blessed the peace–makers, for they sons of God shall be called.

10 Blessed those being persecuted on account of righteousness, for of them is the kingdom of the heavens.

11 Blessed are ye, whenever they reproach you and persecute, and say every evil word against you, speaking falsely, because of me.

12 Rejoice ye and exult ye, for the reward of you great in the heavens; in this way for they persecuted the prophets those before you.

13 You are the salt of the earth. If but the salt become tasteless, with what shall it be salted? for nothing is it of service any more, except to be cast out, and trodden under foot by the men.

14 You are the light of the world. Not possible a city to hide upon a hill being situated;

15 nor they light a lamp, and place him under the measure, but on the lamp–stand; and it gives light to all those in the house.

16 Thus let it shine the light of you in the presence of the men, that they may see of you the good works, and may praise the Father of you that in the heavens.

17 Not think ye, that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets; not I have come to destroy, but to fulfill.

18 Indeed for I say to you, till pass away the heaven and the earth, iota one or one fine point in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the commandments of these of the least, and teach thus the men, least he shall be called in the kingdom of the heavens; who but ever shall do and teach, the same great shall be called in the kingdom of the heavens.

20 I say for to you that except abound the righteousness of you more of the scribes and Pharisees, by no means you may enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

21 You have heard, that it was said to the ancients: Not thou kill; who ever shall kill, liable shall be to the tribunal.

22 I but say to you, that all the being angry to the brother of him, without cause, liable shall be to the tribunal: who and ever shall say to the brother of him, Vile fellow, liable shall be to the Sanhedrim; who and ever shall say: O fool, liable shall be to the Gehenna of the fire.

23 If therefore thou bring the gift of thee of the altar and there remember, that the brother of thee has somewhat against thee,

24 leave there the gift of thee before the altar, and go, first be thou reconciled to the brother of thee, and then coming offer the gift of thee.

25 Be thou willing to agree with the opponent of thee quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest thee deliver up the opponent to the judge, and judge thee deliver up to the officer, and into prison thou shalt be cast.

26 Indeed I say to thee, by no means thou wilt come out thence, till thou hast paid the last farthing.

27 You have heard, that it was said: Not thou shalt commit adultery.

28 I but say to you, that all who looking at a woman in order to lust after her, already has debauched her in the heart of him.

29 If and the eye of thee the right ensnare thee, tear out it, and cast it from thee, it is profitable for to thee, that should perish one of the members of thee, and not whole the body her, and cast from thee;

30 it is profitable for the right of thee hand ensnare thee, cut off her, and cast from thee; it is profitable for to thee that should perish one of the members of thee, and not whole the body of thee should be cast into Gehenna.

31 It was said and: that whoever shall release the wife of him, let him give her a bill of divorce.

32 I but say to you, that whoever may release the wife of him, except on account of fornication, makes her to commit adultery; and whoever her being divorced, may marry, commits adultery.

33 Again you have heard, that it was said to the ancients: Not thou shall swear falsely; shalt perform but to the Lord the oaths of thee.

34 I but say to you not swear at all; not even by the heaven, for a throne it is of the God;

35 nor by the earth, for a footstool it is of the feet of him; neither by Jerusalem, for a city it is of the great king;

36 nor by the head of thee shalt thou swear, for not thou art able one hair white or black to make.

37 Let be but the word of you; yes yes; no no; that for over and above of these, of the evil is.

38 You have heard, that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

39 I but say to you, not resist the evil; but whoever thee shall slap upon the right of thee cheek, turn to him also the other;

40 and to the purposing thee to sue at law, and the tunic of thee to take, give up to him also the mantle;

41 and whoever thee shall force to go mile one, go with him two.

42 To the asking thee do thou give; and the wishing from thee to borrow money, not do thou repulse.

43 You have heard, that it was said: Thou shalt love the neighbor of thee, and hate the enemy of thee.

44 I but say to you, love the enemies of you, bless those cursing you, good do to those hating you and pray for those injuring you and persecuting you;

45 that you may be sons of the Father of you, of the in heavens; for the sun of him it rises on evil and good, and it rains on just and unjust.

46 If for you love those loving you, what reward have you? not even the tax–gatherers the same to do?

47 and if you salute the brothers of you only, what more do you? not even the Gentiles so do?

48 Shall be therefore you perfect, as the Father of you, who in the heavens, perfect is.

1 Seeing great masses of people, he went up to the mountain. When he was seated his disciples came to him.

2 He opened his mouth and taught them:

3 »Blessed Greek: makarios: happy, blessed are those conscious of their spiritual need, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

4 »Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5 »Blessed are the meek gentlemildhumble, for they will inherit the earth.

6 »Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7 »Blessed are the merciful and compassionate, for they will receive mercy and compassion.

8 »Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9 »Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.

10 »Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.

11 »Blessed are you when men revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.

12 »Rejoice, and be filled with joy, for great is your reward in heaven. The prophets, who came before you, were also persecuted.

13 »You are the salt of the earth. If its taste goes away, how will you restore it? It is good for nothing. All you can do is throw it on the ground and walk on it.

14 »You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill may be seen by all.

15 »A light is not placed under a cover. To the contrary, it is placed on a table so all may see.

16 »Likewise, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

17 »Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill perfectexecuteaccomplish.

18 »I solemnly tell you, heaven and earth would pass away before one small letter detail will pass away from the Law. All things must be accomplished.

19 »Whoever disobeys even the least of the commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. On the other hand whoever obeys and teaches others to obey the Law will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 »I also tell you, your righteousness must be greater than the scribes and Pharisees or you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

21 »You were told in the past, do not murder kill. Any one who murders will be brought to trial.

22 »Now I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without cause shall be guilty before the court. Whoever speaks to his brother with words of contempt shall receive condemnation before the Sanhedrin Supreme Court. Curse your brother and you will be guilty enough to be destroyed by fire, with the burning trash, at the Valley of Hinnom, outside of Jerusalem Greek: Gehenna.

23 »When making an offering at the altar and you remember your brother has something against you,

24 »leave your gift at the altar and go make peace with your brother. Then return and make your offering.

25 »Come to an agreement quickly with the one who has a legal case against you. Do it before he turns the case over to the judge and you are thrown into jail.

26 »Take it from me; you will stay in jail until you pay the very last penny of your fine.

27 »You have heard it was said, ‘You should not commit adultery.’

28 »However, I tell you that whoever looks at a woman with lustful thoughts commits adultery with her in his heart.

29 »If your right eye causes you to sin, take it out and throw it away! It is better to lose a part of your body then to have your whole body destroyed in the ever-burning fires of the Valley of Hinnom.

30 »If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose part of your body, than for your whole body to be destroyed in the ever-burning fire. Figuratively: lose prospect for everlasting life; ever-burning fire means total destruction.

31 »Again, it was said, ‘Whoever gets rid of his wife has to give her a certificate of divorce.’

32 »I say to you that everyone divorcing his wife, except for the reason of fornication, makes her liable to commit adultery. And if she marries again, the man she marries also commits adultery.

33 »You were also told that you should keep a promise oath. Always keep your promises vows to Jehovah.

34 »I tell you, offer no promises at all, not by heaven, because it is God’s throne.

35 »Not by earth, for it is the footstool under His feet. Not by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36 »And do not promise by your head, for you cannot even control the hair on your head.

37 »Let your answer be ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’ Anything more than this is from the evil one.

38 »You have heard it said, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

39 »But I tell you, do not resist a wicked person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to that person.

40 »If someone takes you to court to sue you and takes your shirt, let him have your coat as well.

41 »Whoever makes you go one mile, go with him two.

42 »Give to those who ask. Lend to those who borrow.

43 »You have heard it said, ‘You should love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ (Leviticus 19:18)

44 »I say love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!

45 »You will then act as true children of your Father in heaven. He gives sunlight to both evil and good people. He sends rain for the just and the unjust.

46 »What good is there, when you love only those who love you? Even corrupt tax collectors do that!

47 »When you are kind only to your friends and brothers what makes you different from anyone else? Even people of the nations do that.

48 »Be perfect mature, even as your Father in heaven is perfect mature. (Leviticus 19:2)
