Mahte 5
1 Jesuh naw khyang pänu he a jah hmuh üng khawmcung khana cit lü ngaw se, axüisaw he a veia lawki he.
When he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and when he had seated himself, his disciples came to him,
2 Acunüng, a ngawhnak üngkhyüh hikba a jah mthei,
and opening his lips he began to teach them, saying.
3 Ngmüimkhya lama mpyaki he ta ami josen ve, isetiüng ta Khankhaw Pe cun amimia phäh ni.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
4 Thüisei pukseki he ta ami josen ve, isetiüng Pamhnam naw mlung üpnak jah pe khai.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 Mlung mhnemki he ta ami josen ve, isetiüng Pamhnama khyütam yahei khaie.
"Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth."
6 Ngsungpyunnak eia cawi lü tuiha xaiki he ta ami josen ve, isetiüng ami ngjak hlü kümbe law khai.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for the righteousness, for they shall be completely satisfied.
7 Khyang mpyeneinak taki he ta ami josen ve, isetiüng Pamhnama mpyeneinak yah be khaie.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Ami mlungkaw ngcingcaihki he ta ami josen ve, isetiüng Pamhnam hmu acun he.
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 Dimdeihnak pyangki he ta ami josen ve, isetiüng Pamhnam naw ka ca he tia jah khü khai.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
10 Pamhnama ngjak hlü ami bilawha phäh mkhuimkhanak khameiki he ta ami josen ve, isetiüng Khankhaw Pe cun ami kaa kyaki.
"Blessed are those who have been persecuted in the cause of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Ka hnukläka nami thawna phäh, khyang he naw ning jah mkhuimkha, ksekha na u lü ami ning jah mhleimhlakei üng ta jekyai ua.
"Blessed are you when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my name’s sake.
12 Isetiüng ta, khankhawa aphu nami yah vai khawhah awmki he kyase, jekyai lü xexawk na ua. Acukba bäa sahma he pi ahlana jah na mkhuimkha khawikie ni.
"Rejoice and exult in it, because your reward was great in the heavens; for so did they persecute the prophets before you.
13 “Nangmi cun khawmdek khyang mjü naküta phäh, mcia nami kyaki. Acunüngpi mci a tuinak apäih üng i am tuisak be vai ni? Xawtin u lü khyang he naw ami khaw am ami leh sawxata thea ia am daw.
"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt lose its savor, in what way shall it be salted? It is henceforth good for nothing but to be thrown out and trodden under foot of men.
14 “Nangmi cun khawmdek lum vaisaki akvaia nami kyaki he ni. Mcunga mdüiha mlühnu pi am ngthup thei.
"You are the light of the world. A city built on a hilltop cannot be hid;
15 “U naw meiim dawn üng am khüp khawi, khukhawng khana va ta lü im k'um avan üng vai hü khaia tak khawia kyaki.
"nor do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lamp-stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
16 Acuna kba ni, khyang hea maa nami vainak cun vaisak ua. Khyang he naw nami khut pawh ja nami awmih dawki ti hmu u lü, khana nami Pa mhlünmtai law khaie.
"So let your light shine before men that they may see good you do, and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
17 “Mosia Thum la Pamhnama sahma hea pyen jah nawt khaia ka lawkia ä ngai ua, acun he jah kümceisak khaia ka lawki ni.
"Do not suppose that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I am come not to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 Ngai ua, akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, khawmdek la khankhaw khyük ni lü pi Thum üngka canglung matca pi akümkawi kaa am khyük yah khai ni.
"In solemn truth I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a comma, will pass from the Law until all has taken place.
19 Acunakyase, au pi ahina ngthupet üngka matca pi am läklam lü jah mtheiki cun khankhawa akdik säiha kyak khai, cunüngpi läklam lü jah mtheiki cun khankhawa khyang k'hlüngtaia kyak khai.
"So whoever breaks one of these least commandments, and teaches others to break them, will be least in the kingdom of heaven. But he who keeps them and teaches them, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Ka ning jah mtheh betüki ngai ua, Pharise he la thum mthei he kthaka nami ngsungpyun bawk üng ni khankhaw nami pha kawm.
"For I assure you that unless your righteousness exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not find entrance into the kingdom of heaven.
21 “Ahlana ami pyen khawi cun, khyang käh nami hnim vai, au pi khyang hnimki cun ngthumkhyahnak kham khai” ami ti.
"You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "Thou shall not commit murder, and "he who commits murder shall be liable to condemnation by the court;
22 “Acunüng pi tuh ka ning jah mthehki: a bena thüinaki cun ngthumkhyahnak khamei khai. Au pi a bena üng ia am mawngmei veki a ti üng, kawngci maa ngdüi khai. Acunüng na bena üng ak'yaw tinaki naküt cun am dim khawhkia Mulai meia cit khai. (Geenna g1067)
but I say to you that he who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to condemnation by the court; and he who says to his brother’Raca,’ shall be liable to condemnation by the Sanhedrin, while he who curses his brother shall be liable to the Gehenna of Fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Acunakyase, Pamhnama kpyawngkunga khawthem pet vaia na lawpüi k'um üng, na bena naw am a ning jenak na süm üng ta,
"If therefore when you are offering your gift upon the altar, and there remember that your brother has a grievance against you,
24 Na lawpüia khawhthem cun kpyawngkunga hawih hüt lü, akcüka na bena veia cit lü va ng'yäppüi be maa. Acun käna law be lü na pet vaia khawhthem cun Pamhnam üng pe kawpi.
"leave there your gift before the altar, and go and make friends with your brother, first of all; then come and offer your gift.
25 Ning khya hlüki am lama nani ceh yüm üng angxita na ng'yäppüi vai. Am ani üng ta ngthumkhyah mkhawng üng ning kkhya se, acun he naw palik he üng ning ap se amimi naw thawngim üng ning khyum khaie ni.
"Come to terms with your opponent quickly, while you are yet with him on the way to the court, to prevent your opponent from handing you over to the judge, and the judge to the jailer, and so you be thrown into prison.
26 Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, tangka na tak naküt üng am na ngthawng bea küt üng am lät be theiki.
"I tell you truly that you would certainly not get out from there until you had paid back the last cent.
27 Khyanga khyuca am käh nami mkhyekat vai ti nami ngja khawiki,
"You have heard that it was said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery.
28 Kei naw ka ning jah mtheh hlü ta: au pi nghnumi mkhyekat hlünaka mlungmthin am tengki naküt cun a mlung k'uma mkhyekat pängki ni.
But I say to you that whoever looks with lust at a woman has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Acunakyase na kkhet mik naw a ning mkhyekatsak üng, kawihin lü xawtina. Isetiüng na pumsa avan küm se mulaia na ceha kdama ta na pumsa üngka mat khyük se na awm hin daw bawki ni. (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye, your right eye, entices you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit. (Geenna g1067)
30 Na khet kut naw a ning mkhyekatsak üng, kyükin lü xawtin kawpi. Isetiüng na pumsa avan küm se mulaia na ceha kdama ta na pumsa üngka mat khyük se na awm hin daw bawki ni. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right hand entices you into sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit. (Geenna g1067)
31 Acunkäna ami na pyen khawi nami ngjak khawi ta, “Aupi a khyu hawih lü ngtainaka kca yuk lü pe yah khai, ti lü Mosia thum üng awmki.”
"It was also said, "Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of separation.
32 Acunüng pi kei naw ka ning jah mtheh hlü ta: au pi a khyu kpami kcea dä am ipawm ni se akcea phäh hawihki cun a khyu mkhyekatsaki ni. Acuna thea acuna nghnumi khyu na beki pi mkhyekatkia kyaki ni.
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress, and whoever marries her when so divorced, commits adultery.
33 “Na bekhüt käh na lümkan vai, Pamhnama veia bekhüt na taka mäiha na pawh vai” ti nami ngja khawiki.
"Again you have heard that it was said to the men of old, "You must not forswear yourselves, but must perform your vows to the Lord.
34 Cunüngpi kei naw ka ning jah mtheh hlü ta: khankhaw be lü käh nami ng'yünce süm vai. Isetiüng khankhaw cun Mhnama a bawi ngawhnaka kyaki.
"But I say to you, swear not at all; neither by the sky, for it is God’s throne;
35 Khawmdek pi be lü käh nami ng'yünce vai. Isetiüng khawmdek cun Pamhnama khaw taknaka kyaki. Jerusalem be u lü pi käh nami ng'yünce vai. Isetiüng Jerusalem cun Sangpuxang Bawia mlüha kyaki.
"nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.
36 Na lu be lü käh na ng'yünce vai. Isetiüng na lusam matca pi abawk ja alea am pyang khawhki.
"Nor must you swear by your head, since you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Acunakyase ‘Ä’ am ani üng ‘Ka’ nami ti vai. Ahina thea nami pyen cun khawyaiksea a ning jah pyensaka kyaki.
"But let your word be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the Evil One.
38 “Mik vanga phäh mik vang, ha mata phäh ha mat phusui vai ti nami ngja khawiki.
"You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
39 Acunüngpi kei naw ka ning jah mtheh hlü ta: ning jah mkhyekatnaki käh thungei be ua. Nami khet ngbeng ning jah kbeiki üng nami kcawng ngbeng pi jah säng petsih vai.
"But I tell you not to retaliate the injury; but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also;
40 Khyang mat naw nami kcu ning jah hut hlü lü junga a ning jah ngcuhpüi üng ta, na jih pi na petsih vai.
"and if any one wants to go to law with you and takes away your coat, let him take your cloak also.
41 “Khyang naw mäng mat a phüih a ning phüih hlüsak üng ta, mäng nghngih na phüih pet vai.
"Whoever impresses you to go one mile, go two miles with him.
42 “Nami ka ning jah täeiki üng nami pet vai. Acunüng nami veia pu hlüki a awm üng nami kpu vai.
"Give to him who asks, and from him who wants to borrow from you, do not turn away.
43 “Na püi mhläkphya na lü na ye na hneng vai ti nami ngja khawiki.”
"You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy."
44 Acunüng pi kei naw ka ning jah mtheh hlü ta: na ye na mhläkphyanak vai, ning mkhuimkhaki ktaiyü pea.
"But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you.
45 Acunüng ta khankhawa ka nami pa Pamhnama ca hea nami kya khai. Isetiüng Pamhnam naw khyang kse he ja khyang kdaw hea khana khawhngi angteha sosak lü, khyang ngsungpyun ja am ngsungpyunki hea khana pi khaw angteha aksaki ni.
"So you will become sons of your heavenly Father; for he makes his sun to rise upon sinners as well as saints, and sends rain upon the unjust and the just.
46 Ning jah mhläkphyanaki däk nami mhläkphyanak be üng ta aphu i nami yah khai ni? Akhawn mkhäm he naw pi acukba ta pawh khawhki he ni?
"For if you love only those who love you, what reward have you?
47 Na püi he däk am na ngthuminei üng khyang kce he kthaka i na pawhki ni? Pamhnam am ksingki he naw pi acukba ta am pawh khawhki he aw?
"Even the tax-gatherers do that, do they not? And if you show courtesy to your brother only, what are you doing more than others? Even the Gentiles do that, do they not?
48 “Acunakyase, nami pa khana ka a kümkawia mäiha nangmi pi kümkawi ua.”
"You then must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
