Matthew 5
1 Kĭ otsĭnno'ossax akai'tappix ni tum'mo ita'mĭsso: ki otau'pĭssi otsitappim'ix ototaakax:
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 Ki itsipa'kuiakiu ki itŭsksĭnĭm'atsiuax, ki itŭniu,
Then he began to teach them by saying,
3 Anniks'isk matap'pixk oskĕttsipŏppuauĕxk ĭkikĭn'etŭkkiĭsk, etam'etŭkkiau: spots'im ĭstsĭn'naiisĭnni osto'auai otsinan'oaiau.
[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 Au'yesĭx etam'etŭkkiau: aiaksikiawpiksĭstotoaiau.
[God] is pleased with people who mourn [because they have sinned; ] they will be encouraged {he will encourage them.}
5 Ikkĭnap'itappiix etam'etŭkkiau: ksŏk'kum otaksĭnan'oaiau.
[God] is pleased with people who are meek; they will inherit the earth [that God will recreate].
6 Ino'tăttomix mokŏm'motsipaitappiisĭnni ki inăk'attomix mokŏm'motsipaitappiisĭnni etam'ĕtukkiau: ai'akokuyian.
[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 Kĭmapi'itappix etam'etŭkkiau: otak'sikĭmokiau
[God] is pleased with people who act mercifully; he will act mercifully to them.
8 Ksĭkus'skĕttsipŏppix etam'etŭkkiau: ai'aksĭnnuyiauaie Ap'ĭstotokiuă.
[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 Inŭs'tsetappix etam'etŭkkiau: akanĭstainikŏttaiau Ap'ĭstotokiuă o'kosĭx.
[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 Anniks'isk matap'pixk itsikĭm'atsĭstotoaiau otŏkommo'tsitappiuŏsoauĕsts etam'etŭkkiau; otsinan'oaiau spots' im istsĭn'naiisĭnni.
[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 Oksĭs'totokoeniki ki maka'pi sĭtsĭp'sŭkoeniki, ki aisĭmmĭm'motsenikiau, tŭkka kĭtŭk'omĭmmokoau kitse'tametŭksuai.
[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 So poke'tametŭkkĭk, spopai'piĭk; kitakitakai'sakĭnnosŭko spots'im: apatots'ik neto'yik ŭnninetoksĭstotoyiuax Ap'ĭstotokiuă otsiprophetix.
[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 Kĕsto'akauk ksŏk'kum ĭstsĭstsĭxipoku: atstosai'e umut'aiawxipi itsĭx'ipokuyi, tsanĭstapiu ksŏk'kum umutaiaksitsĭxipokuĭstutsip? Matŭtokoapi'uats, ki aksĭs'tapĭxip, ki akitsitautŭtsamiai'osi.
“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 Kĕsto'akauk ksŏk'kum ĭstŭn'natsii. Akap'ioyĭs aitokittokhi netum'moyi matokotsiksĭsattop'ats.
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 Matap'pix matotstsĭm'axauaie anak'imatsĭs mŏkitsitaistakhtotosauaie assuyĭn'i, itai'sŭppatomiau itai'sŭpanakĭmatsopi, ki matap'pix itsĭps'taupix napioyĭs itokŏnnauan'akĭmaiau.
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 Neto'yik kitan'akimatsĭs ĭstot'ŭnnasayit matap'pix mŏk'itsĭnniĭsau kitawx'ĭstutsipists mŏk'ĭtstsakŭttosauaie kin'a spots'im.
[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 Pinstak nimut'otopi nŏkitŭnnĭstupipotsĭsau okŏk'itsĭmani, ki prophet ix otŭn' issuai: nimatŭtoto'pa nŏkĭtŭnnĭstŭpipotsĭsau, nimut'oto mŏkĭtsŭpanĭs'tsĭstutsisau.
“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 Kitau'mŭnĭstopuau spots'im ki ksŏk'kum otsauomai'tsĭnikasi, ki okŏk'itsĭmani otsitsauomsŭpanĭstsiopi tŭks'kai sikŭk'sĭnaksĭn okŏk'itsĭmani itstsi'ipi mat'akitsĭnikauatsaie.
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 Annŏk tukskai am'ostsim inŭxe'poawsists kŭttai'aksĭstutsĭmŏkaie, ki ai'aksksĭnĭmatsokax matap'pix mŏk'staiĭstutsĭsaxaie, ak'anĭstainikŏttau inŭks'tsĭm spots' im; annŏk' ai'aksistutsimests ki ai'aksksinimatsokax matap'pix mŏks'ĭstutsĭmĕsts, ak'anĭstainikŏttau omŭk'sĭm spots'im.
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 Kit an'ĭstopuau kitokŏmotsipaitappiisĭnni saiĭs'tŭpŭkuiŏkhsĭssi Scribes ki Pharisees ot'okŏmotsipaitappiisuĕsts kimatakitsipipuauats spots'im ĭstsĭn'naiisĭnni.
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 Kikai'okhtsipuau ŭkkaiiap'ix otan'ikoaiau, Pinuye'nĭkik: ki annŏk'ai'akoyenikiuŏk ai'akesetsĭmaie okŏk'itsĭmani:
“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 Ki kitan'ĭstopuau annŏk' ksĭstapĭstsĭm'iuōk ox'okoă ai'akesetsĭmaie okŏk'itsĭmani; ki annŏk' ak'anĭstsiuŏk ox'okoa Raca, aiakesetsimaie okok'itsĭmani: ki annŏk' ak'anĭstsiuŏk, kĭtŭt'tsapsi, ai'akesetsĭmaie Gihenni ots'tsiĭmiaie. (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 Puksipĭp'potomĭniki kitak'iksĭstomŭtskotŭksĭnni natoi'apioyĭs, ki ĭsksĭnĭm'ĭniki kixokoa kĭtsĭs'tsĭmmok,
So, when you take your gift [for God] to the altar, if you remember that you have offended someone,
24 Ŭn'nim altar ĭstsskit' kitakiksĭstomŭtskotŭksĭnni, ki matskot'; matom'ots matsin'nŭstseik ksĕsto'a ki kĭxokoa, ki tŭm'ŭtsipuksiput ki sakumŭts'kotoat kitsiksĭst'omŭtskotŭksĭnni.
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 Kipĭnnŭs'tseĭmĭs kikakhtum'o, kĭtsakiokhpokau'pimŏssi: kŏkstaiĭstapĭpiok au'kŏkitsĭmaii, ki au'kŏkitsĭmaii ŏk'staukotsei eĕnake'nai, ki kĭtakitsĭps'tapixik itai'ĭnŭkiopi,
[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 Kitau' mŭnĭsto kitsauomai'ponitatossi kitak'sakookotossi, kimataksuxpa.
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 Kikai'okhtsipuau otanipuauĕsts ŭkkaiiap'ix, Kimatakauŏkotapuaua:
“You have heard [God’s] commandment, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

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 Kinet'oopspi itsuyĭsseeniki, sauau'tos ki mĭs'tŭpapiksĭstsĭs: ŏkh'siu tŭks'kŭma mŏk'saiĭnakuaiĭssi koŏpspi, ŏkstaiĭs'tupapiksĭs kostŭm Gehenna. (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 Kinet'otsĭs itsuyĭsse'eniki kawksĭnnĭt', ki mĭs'tŭpapĭxit: ŏkh'siu tuks'kaii kotsĭs'i mŏk'saiĭnakuaiĭssi, ŏkstaiĭs'tŭpapiksĭs kostŭm Gehenna. (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)

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.”

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 Ksŏk'kum pini'tŭpŭtauŭnik; itsĭssuikau'piu: Jerusalem pini'tŭpŭtauŭnik; tŭkka Omŭx'ina ot'akapioyimaie.
[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].

[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.
