Matthai 5
1 A hmuh neh hlangping taengah tlang la luei tih a ngol vaengah anih te a hnukbang rhoek loh a paan uh.
And having seen the multitudes, He went up to the mountain, and He having sat down, His disciples came to Him,
2 Te vaengah a ka a ong tih amih a thuituen.
and having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying,
3 Mueihla khodaeng rhoek tah a yoethen uh, vaan ram te amih kah la om.
“Blessed the poor in spirit—because theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
4 Aka nguek rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih te a hloep uh ni.
Blessed the mourning—because they will be comforted.
5 Muelhtuet rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih long ni diklai a pang eh.
Blessed the meek—because they will inherit the land.
6 Duengnah te aka hal tih aka pong rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih tah hah uh ni.
Blessed those hungering and thirsting for righteousness—because they will be filled.
7 Hlang aka rhen rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih te a rhen uh ni.
Blessed the kind—because they will find kindness.
8 thinko aka caih rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih long ni Pathen te a hmuh eh.
Blessed the clean in heart—because they will see God.
9 Rhoepnah la aka om rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih ni Pathen kah ca rhoek la a khue uh eh.
Blessed the peacemakers—because they will be called sons of God.
10 Duengnah kongah a hnaemtaek rhoek tah a yoethen uh, vaan ram te amih kah ni.
Blessed those persecuted for righteousness’ sake—because theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 Kai kongah nangmih te thuithet tih, hnaemtaek tih laithaethui rhoek loh nangmih soah a thae la boeih n' thui uh vaengah na yoethenuh.
Blessed are you whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for My sake—
12 “Omngaih uh lamtah hlampan uh. Vaan ah nangmih kah thapang muep om. Nangmih hlankah tonghma rhoek khaw a hnaemtaek uh rhoe.
rejoice and be glad, because your reward [is] great in the heavens, for thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 Nangmih tah diklai lungkaeh la na om uh. Tedae lungkaeh he a dap atah, ba nen lae a al sak eh? Phawn a voeih tih hlang loh a taelh pawt atah coeng voel pawh.
You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt may lose savor, in what will it be salted? It is good for nothing from now on, except to be cast outside, and to be trodden down by men.
14 Nangmih tah Diklai vangnah la na om uh. Tlang soah a thoong khopuei tah khuup thai tlaih pawh.
You are the light of the world, a city set on a mountain is not able to be hid;
15 Hmaiim te a tok uh tih voh hmuiah a khueh uh moenih. Hmaitung soah ni a khueh tih im khuikah rhoek te boeih a tue.
nor do they light a lamp and put it under the measure, but on the lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house;
16 Nangmih kah vangnah khaw hlang hmaiah sae tangloeng saeh. Te daengah ni nangmih kah khoboe then te a hmuh uh vetih, vaan kah na pa te a thangpom uh eh.
so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who [is] in the heavens.
17 Olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek ol he phae hamla ka lo tila poek uh boeh, phae ham pawt tih soep sak ham ni ka lo.
Do not suppose that I came to throw down the Law or the Prophets—I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill;
18 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, diklai neh vaan a khum hlan khuiah, olkhueng te boeih a soep hlan khuiah, catham khat neh a dek khat pataeng hmata mahpawh.
for truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the Law, until all may come to pass.
19 Te dongah he rhoek kah olpaek rhoek a diknoi khat ca khaw a phae tangkhuet tih hlang aka thuituen te tah vaan ram ah a dikhnawn la a khue ni. Tedae olpaek bangla a saii tih aka thuituen te tah vaan ram ah tanglue la a khue ni.
Therefore whoever may loose one of these commands—the least—and may teach men so, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach [them], he will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
20 Nangmih taengah kan thui, cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek kah a voel ah duengnah loh nangmih te m'pueh pawt atah, vaan ram ah na kun kolla na om uh mahpawt nim.
For I say to you that if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, you may not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
21 Khosuen kah a thui te na yaak uh coeng. Hlang ngawn boeh, aka ngawn te tah laitloeknah om kuekluek saeh.
You heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not murder, and whoever may murder will be in danger of the judgment;
22 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui, a manuca taengah kosi aka hong boeih tah laitloeknah om kuekluek saeh, a manuca te hlangyoe aka ti nah te khaw khoboei taengla pha kuekluek saeh. Hlang ang la aka thui te khaw hell hmai la pha kuekluek saeh. (Geenna g1067)
but I say to you that everyone who is angry at his brother without cause will be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Stupid, will be in danger of the Sanhedrin, and whoever may say, Moron, will be in danger of the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Te dongah hmueihtuk la na kutdoe na khuen vaengah, na manuca loh nang soah khat khat ngaihlih a om te na poek atah,
If, therefore, you may bring your gift to the altar, and there may remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 Na kutdoe te hmueihtuk hmai ah pak hlah. Na manuca taengah cet lamhma lamtah moeithen dae, te phoeiah cet lamtah na kutdoe te pae.
leave there your gift before the altar, and go—first be reconciled to your brother, and then having come, bring your gift.
25 Longpueng ah amah neh na om li vaengah a loe la na kocaelh te ko a hlawt ham saii laeh. Namah te kocaelh loh laitloekkung taengla n'thak ve. Te vaengah laitloekkung loh tueihyoeih taengla n'thak vetih thongim la n'hla ve.
Be agreeing with your opponent quickly, while you are in the way with him, that the opponent may not deliver you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and you may be cast into prison;
26 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, a hnukkhueng pekhat hil na thuung hlan atah te lamkah na loeih mahpawh.
truly I say to you, you may not come forth from there until you may pay the last penny.
27 Samphaih boeh a ti te na yaak uh coeng.
You heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not commit adultery;
28 Tedae nangmih taengah ka thui. Huta te a hue neh aka dan boeih tah, a thinko ah a samphaih puei oepsoeh coeng.
but I say to you that everyone who is looking on a woman to desire her, already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Na bantang mik loh nang n' khah atah te te koeih lamtah namah lamloh voei. Na pumrho dongkah pakhat a poci akhaw na pum boeih hell la a voeih pawt te nang hamla rhoei bet. (Geenna g1067)
But if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast from you, for it is good to you that one of your members may perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
30 Na bantang kut loh nang n' khah atah te te tloek lamtah namah lamloh voei. Na pumrho dongkah pakhat a poci te nang hamla then ngai. Te daengah ni na pum boeih tah hell la a caeh pawt eh. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast from you, for it is good to you that one of your members may perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
31 “A yuu aka hla loh yuhlaknah te a yuu taengah pae saeh,” a ti.
And it was said that, Whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing of divorce;
32 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui coeng. Cukhalnah olka voel ah a yuu aka hla boeih loh a yuu te samphaih sak ham a saii. Te dongah a hlak tangtae aka yunah te khaw samphaih van.
but I say to you that whoever may put away his wife, except for the matter of whoredom, makes her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who has been put away commits adultery.
33 Khosuen kah a thui te koep na yaak coeng, basa boeh saw. Tedae na olhlo te boeipa taengah na thuung ni.
Again, you heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not swear falsely, but you will pay to the LORD your oaths;
34 Tedae nangmih taengah toemngam loengloeng boeh ka ti. Vaan nen khaw toemngam boeh. Te tah Pathen kah ngolkhoel ni.
but I say to you not to swear at all; neither by Heaven, because it is the throne of God,
35 Diklai nen khaw toemngam boeh. Te tah amah kah kho kah khotloeng ni. Jerusalem nen khaw toemngam boeh, te tah manghai boei kah khopuei ni.
nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is [the] city of [the] great King,
36 Na lu nen khaw toemngam boeh. Sam pakhat pataeng a bok neh a muem la na saii thai moenih.
nor may you swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black;
37 Te dongah nangmih ol te ue atah ue, pawh atah pawh la om saeh. Tedae he rhoek kah a pueh tah a thae hno lamkah aka thoeng hno ni.
but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil [one].
38 “Mik ham te mik, no ham te no,” a ti te na yaak uh coeng.
You heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth;
39 Nangmih taengah kan thui, a thae te kamkaih boeh, tedae bantang kah na kamrhuh aka bael te pakhat ben khaw a taengla hooi pah.
but I say to you not to resist the evil, but whoever will slap you on your right cheek, turn to him also the other;
40 Nang toe ham neh na angki loh aka ngaih te himbai khaw hlah pah thil.
and whoever is willing to take you to law, and to take your coat—also permit to him the cloak.
41 Nang meng khat aka tanolh te, amah te meng nit khaw caeh puei.
And whoever will impress you one mile, go with him two;
42 Nang taengah aka bih te pae. Nang taengah puu hamla aka ngaih te khaw bal sak boeh.
to him who is asking of you be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from you, you may not turn away.
43 “Na imben te lungnah, na rhal te thiinah,” a ti te na yaak uh coeng.
You heard that it was said: You will love your neighbor, and will hate your enemy;
44 Tedae kai loh nangmih taengah kan thui, na rhal rhoek te lungnah lamtah, nangmih aka hnaemtaek rhoek ham thangthui pauh.
but I say to you, love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you,
45 Te daengah ni vaan ah na Pa kah a ca rhoek la na om uh eh. Amah kah khomik te a thae neh a then boeih soah a thoeng sak tih, aka dueng khaw, halang khaw rhotui neh a sul thil.
that you may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because He causes His sun to rise on evil and good, and He sends rain on righteous and unrighteous.
46 Nangmih aka lungnah te na lungnah uh atah balae thapang na dang eh? Mangmucoi rhoek long pataeng te te a saii uh van moenih a?
For if you may love those loving you, what reward do you have? Do the tax collectors not also do the same?
47 Na manuca bueng na toidal uh koinih balae a pueh na saii uh tloe, namtom rhoek long khaw te te a saii uh moenih a?
And if you may greet your brothers only, what do you do abundant? Do the nations not also do so?
48 Te dongah vaan kah na Pa loh lungcuei la a om bangla nangmih khaw lungcuei la om uh.
You will therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.”
