Mathai 5
1 Anih mah kami paroeai hnuk naah, mae nuiah dawh tahang moe, anghnut, to naah a hnukbang kaminawk anih khaeah angzoh o.
And seeing the multitudes, he went up to a mountain: and when he was seated, his disciples came to him:
2 To pacoengah anih mah lok to thuih moe, nihcae to patuk,
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 poek amtang kaminawk loe tahamhoih o: van prae loe nihcae ih ni.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Palungsae kaminawk loe tahamhoih o: nihcae mah monghaih to hnu o tih.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Poeknaem kaminawk loe tahamhoih o: nihcae mah long qawk to toep o tih.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Toenghaih bangah zok amthlam, tui anghae kaminawk loe tahamhoih o: nihcae loe zok amhah o tih.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Kami nuiah palungnathaih tawn kaminawk loe tahamhoih o: nihcae loe palungnathaih to hnu o tih.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Poekciim kaminawk loe tahamhoih o: nihcae loe Sithaw to hnu o tih.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Angdaehhaih sah kaminawk loe tahamhoih o: nihcae loe Sithaw ih caa, tiah kawk o tih.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.
10 Toenghaih pongah pacaekthlaekhaih tongh kaminawk loe tahamhoih o: van prae loe nihcae taham ah oh.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Kai pongah, minawk mah ang zoeh o, ang pacaekthlaek o, amsoem ai ah congca kasae loknawk hoiah ang zoeh o naah, tahamhoih kami ah na oh o.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Anghoe oh loe, paroeai oephaih to tawn oh: nangcae han kalen parai tangqum van prae ah oh: nangcae hma ah kaom tahmaanawk doeh to tiah ni pacaekthlaek ah oh o.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 Nangcae loe long paloi ah na oh o: toe paloi loe a khrumhaih anghma nahaeloe, kawbangah maw khrum let thai tih boeh? Vah ving moe, minawk mah khok hoiah cawh khue ai ah loe, tidoeh avanghaih om ai boeh.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt hath lost its savour, how shall it be salted? it is then good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.
14 Nangcae loe long aanghaih ah na oh o: mae nuiah kaom vangpui loe anghawk thai ai.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Mi kawbaktih kami mah doeh hmai pa-aang naah, hmai to takho hoiah muek o vai ai, hmai paanghaih ahmuen ah ni suek o; to naah ni imthung ah kaom hmuennawk to aanghaih paek boih.
Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand; and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
16 To baktih toengah, kaminawk mah na sak o ih kahoih hmuen to hnuk o moe, van ah kaom nangcae ampa to pakoeh o thai hanah, na aanghaih loe kaminawk mikhnuk ah aang nasoe.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 Kai loe kaalok maw, to tih ai boeh loe tahmaanawk ih lok phraek hanah kang zoh, tiah poek o hmah: phraek hanah kang zo ai, akoepsak han ih ni kang zoh.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 Loktang kang thuih o, Long hoi van to anghmat moe, hmuen boih akoep ai karoek to kaalok thung ih kangdaek daek lok maeto maw, to tih ai boeh loe ahmin maeto maw mataeng doeh anghmaa mak ai.
For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth shall pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Mi kawbaktih doeh hae kaalok thung ih kathoeng koek kaalok maeto aek moe, to tiah aek toeng hanah kaminawk han patuk kami loe, van prae ah kathoeng koek kami, tiah kawk o tih: toe mi kawbaktih doeh pazui moe, kaminawk doeh pazui hanah patuk kami loe, van prae ah kalen koek kami, tiah kawk o tih.
Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Kang thuih o, Na toeng o haih mah Farasinawk hoi ca tarikkungnawk ih toenghaih to poeng ai nahaeloe, van prae ah na kun o thai mak ai.
For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Kami hum hmah; mi kawbaktih mah doeh kami to hum nahaeloe, zit kaom lokcaekhaih to hnu tih, tiah canghnii ah thuih ih lok to na thaih o boeh.
Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 Toe kang thuih o, Mi kawbaktih doeh ahlong om ai ah angmah ih nawkamya palungphui thuih kami loe, zit kaom lokcaekhaih to hnu tih: mi kawbaktih doeh angmah ih nawkamya hanah, Raka, tiah thui kami loe, zit kaom lokcaekhaih to tong tih: mi kawbaktih doeh, Kamthu, tiah thui kami loe zit kaom hell hmai to tong tih. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 To pongah hmaicam ah tangqum paek han na sin naah, nam nawkamya mah sinsak han koeh ai, tiah na panoek nahaeloe;
Therefore if thou shalt bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath any thing against thee;
24 tangqum to hmaicam ah caehtaak ah, amlaem let ah loe nam nawkamya to pathloep hmaloe ah, to pacoengah angzoh loe, tangqum to paek ah.
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Na misa hoi nawnto lam na caeh hoi naah, karangah anih hoi angdaehhaih to sah ah; to tih ai nahaeloe na misa mah lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah na caeh haih tih, lokcaekkung mah angraeng khaeah na hoi ueloe, anih mah thongim thungah na pakhrah tih.
Agree with thy adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Loktang kang thuih o, Laiba na pathok boih ai karoek to, thongim thung hoi na tacawt thai mak ai.
Verily I say to thee, Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 Zu sava laep ah nongpa nongpata zaehaih to sah hmah, tiah canghnii ah thuih ih lok to na thaih o boeh.
Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 Toe kang thuih o, mi kawbaktih doeh nongpata to taksa koehhaih mik hoiah khen nahaeloe, to nongpata to palung thung hoiah a zae haih boeh.
But I say to you, That whoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 Na bantang mik mah na zaesak nahaeloe, taprok dok ah loe va ving ah: na takpum boih hell thungah krak pongah loe, na takpum tanghang maeto anghmat to atho oh kue. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right eye shall cause thee to sin, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Na bantang ban mah na zaesak nahaeloe, takroek pat ah loe, va ving ah: na takpum boih hell thungah krak pongah loe, na takpum thung ih hmuen maeto amrosak to nang hanah atho oh kue. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right hand shall cause thee to sin, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 Mi kawbaktih mah doeh zu to pakrah nahaeloe, zu pakhrakhaih ca to paek nasoe, tiah thuih ih lok to oh boeh.
It hath been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 Toe kang thuih o, Mi kawbaktih mah doeh sava laep ah zae sakhaih om ai ah, a zu to pakhrah nahaeloe, daan ai ah nongpata zaehaih sahsak kami ah ni oh: mi kawbaktih doeh pakhrak ih nongpata to zu ah la kami loe daan ai ah zaehaih sah kami ah oh.
But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of immorality, causeth her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33 To pacoengah, Nangmah hoi nangmah kamsoem ai ah lokkamhaih to sah hmah, Angraeng khaeah na sak ih lokkamhaih to akoepsak ah, tiah canghnii ah thuih ih lok to na thaih o boeh:
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths:
34 toe kang thuih o, Lokkamhaih roe sah o hmah; van hoiah lokkamhaih to sah o hmah; van loe Sithaw anghnuthaih ahmuen ah oh:
But I say to you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
35 long hoiah lokkamhaih to sah o hmah; long loe a khok koenghaih ahmuen ah ni oh: Jerusalem hoiah lokkamhaih to sah o hmah; Jerusalem loe kalen Siangpahrang ih vangpui ah ni oh.
Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Na lu hoiah lokkamhaih to sah o hmah, nangcae mah lu nui ih sam maeto mataeng doeh nang lung o sak moe, nam num o sak thai ai.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 Kamsoem loe amsoem, tiah thui oh loe, kamsoem ai loe amsoem ai, tiah thui oh. Kawbaktih hmuen doeh hae pongah kamtlai lok loe kasae khae hoiah ni angzoh.
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 Mik hanah mik, haa hanah haa, tiah thuih ih lok to na thaih o boeh:
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 toe kang thuih o, Kahoih ai sah kami to pakaa o hmah: mi kawbaktih mah doeh bantang tangbaeng to tabaeng nahaeloe, banqoi tangbaeng doeh patueng paeh.
But I say to you, That ye resist not evil: but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Kami mah nang to tayacoi hanah khiing moe, laihaw kalen to na la pae ving nahaeloe, nangmah ih kahni doeh paek ah.
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
41 Mi kawbaktih mah doeh meng maeto caeh hanah na thui nahaeloe, anih hoi nawnto meng hnetto caeh ah.
And whoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Nang khaeah hnih kami hanah paek ah, hmuen coi han ih nang khaeah angzo kami to pakak hmah.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Na imtaeng kami to palung ah loe, na misa to hnuma ah, tiah thuih ih lok to na thaih o boeh.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy.
44 Toe kang thuih o, Na misa to palung oh, nang tangoeng kami to tahamhoihaih paek oh, nang hnuma kaminawk khaeah kahoih hmuen to sah oh, nangcae pacaekthlaek moe, kasae thui kaminawk hanah lawkthui pae oh.
But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 To tiah ni van prae ah kaom nangcae ampa ih caa ah na om o tih: Anih loe kahoih hoi kahoih ai kami nuiah ni tacawtsak moe, katoeng hoi katoeng ai kami nuiah doeh kho to angzohsak.
That ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 Nangcae palung kaminawk khue na palung o nahaeloe, tih tangqum maw na hnu o tih? Tamut cong kaminawk mah mataeng doeh to tiah sak o toeng bae.
For if ye love them who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the tax collectors the same?
47 Nam nawkamyanawk khue to na talawk o nahaeloe, minawk pongah hoih kuehaih timaw na tawnh o? Tamut cong kaminawk mah mataeng doeh to tiah sak o toeng na ai maw?
And if ye greet your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the tax collectors so?
48 Van prae ah kaom nangcae Ampa loe akoep baktih toengah, Nangcae doeh akoep o toeng ah.
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
