Mahte 5
1 Jesuh naw khyang pänu he a jah hmuh üng khawmcung khana cit lü ngaw se, axüisaw he a veia lawki he.
And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 Acunüng, a ngawhnak üngkhyüh hikba a jah mthei,
Then he opened his mouth and taught 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 theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Thüisei pukseki he ta ami josen ve, isetiüng Pamhnam naw mlung üpnak jah pe khai.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Mlung mhnemki he ta ami josen ve, isetiüng Pamhnama khyütam yahei khaie.
Blessed are the gentle, for they will 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 after righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Khyang mpyeneinak taki he ta ami josen ve, isetiüng Pamhnama mpyeneinak yah be khaie.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 Ami mlungkaw ngcingcaihki he ta ami josen ve, isetiüng Pamhnam hmu acun he.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will 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 will be called the children 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 for righteousness' sake, 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 insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my 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 be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were 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 has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trampled under people's feet.
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 located on a hill cannot be hidden.
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.
Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines 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.
In the same way, let your light shine before people, that they may see your good works, and glorify 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 think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
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.
For truly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will disappear from the Law, until all things are accomplished.
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.
Therefore, whoever will break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever will do and teach them 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 tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter 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 ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
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 tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be liable to judgment; and whoever will say to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be in danger of the council; and whoever will say, 'You fool,' will be in danger of the fire of hell. (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 you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything 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 your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and 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.
Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
26 Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, tangka na tak naküt üng am na ngthawng bea küt üng am lät be theiki.
Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 Khyanga khyuca am käh nami mkhyekat vai ti nami ngja khawiki,
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do 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 tell you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already 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 right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. (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 causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. (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.”
"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
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 everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is 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 them of old time, 'Do not make false vows, but fulfill 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 tell you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
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.
Neither should you swear by your head, for 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 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of 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, and 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, do not set yourself against the one who is evil. But whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other 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 anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
41 “Khyang naw mäng mat a phüih a ning phüih hlüsak üng ta, mäng nghngih na phüih pet vai.
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
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 you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 “Na püi mhläkphya na lü na ye na hneng vai ti nami ngja khawiki.”
"You have heard that it was said, '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 tell 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.
that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
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 those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
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?
And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
48 “Acunakyase, nami pa khana ka a kümkawia mäiha nangmi pi kümkawi ua.”
You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
