Matthai 5
1 A hmuh neh hlangping taengah tlang la luei tih a ngol vaengah anih te a hnukbang rhoek loh a paan uh.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the mountain. And when he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 Te vaengah a ka a ong tih amih a thuituen.
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 Mueihla khodaeng rhoek tah a yoethen uh, vaan ram te amih kah la om.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Aka nguek rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih te a hloep uh ni.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Muelhtuet rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih long ni diklai a pang eh.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Duengnah te aka hal tih aka pong rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih tah hah uh ni.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Hlang aka rhen rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih te a rhen uh ni.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
8 thinko aka caih rhoek tah a yoethen uh, amih long ni Pathen te a hmuh eh.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for 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 are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10 Duengnah kongah a hnaemtaek rhoek tah a yoethen uh, vaan ram te amih kah ni.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
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 when others reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
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, for great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way 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 salt loses its flavor, with what shall it be seasoned? It is no longer fit for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
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 hill cannot be hidden,
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 people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines for all who are 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.
Let your light shine before others in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
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 think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
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 heaven and earth pass away, not one letter or stroke of a letter will by any means pass from the law until all is accomplished.
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 does away with one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
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 tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
21 Khosuen kah a thui te na yaak uh coeng. Hlang ngawn boeh, aka ngawn te tah laitloeknah om kuekluek saeh.
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘Yoʋ shall not murder,’ and, ‘Whoever murders will be subject to 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 rashly angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Yoʋ idiot,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. And whoever says, ‘Yoʋ fool,’ will be subject to the fires of hell. (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,
So if yoʋ are offering yoʋr gift at the altar and there remember that yoʋr brother has something against yoʋ,
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 yoʋr gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to yoʋr brother, and then come and offer yoʋr 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.
Make friends with yoʋr adversary quickly while yoʋ are on the way with him, lest yoʋr adversary hand yoʋ over to the judge, and the judge hand yoʋ over to the guard, and yoʋ be thrown 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 yoʋ, yoʋ will certainly not come out of there until yoʋ have paid the last penny.
27 Samphaih boeh a ti te na yaak uh coeng.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Yoʋ shall 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 looks at a woman to lust after her has 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)
So if yoʋr right eye causes yoʋ to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from yoʋ. For it is better for yoʋ to have one of yoʋr members perish, than for yoʋr whole body to be thrown into hell. (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 yoʋr right hand causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from yoʋ. For it is better for yoʋ to have one of yoʋr members perish, than for yoʋr whole body to be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “A yuu aka hla loh yuhlaknah te a yuu taengah pae saeh,” a ti.
“It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate 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 divorces his wife, apart from a matter of fornication, makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman 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 have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘Yoʋ shall not break an oath, but shall keep yoʋr oaths to the Lord.’
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, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for 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, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for 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.
Neither shall yoʋ swear by yoʋr head, for yoʋ cannot 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 ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No’; for whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
38 “Mik ham te mik, no ham te no,” a ti te na yaak uh coeng.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a 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, do not resist one who is evil. Rather, if anyone slaps yoʋ on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Nang toe ham neh na angki loh aka ngaih te himbai khaw hlah pah thil.
If anyone wants to sue yoʋ and take away yoʋr tunic, let him have yoʋr cloak also.
41 Nang meng khat aka tanolh te, amah te meng nit khaw caeh puei.
And if anyone presses yoʋ into service for one mile, go with him two.
42 Nang taengah aka bih te pae. Nang taengah puu hamla aka ngaih te khaw bal sak boeh.
Give to everyone who asks of yoʋ, and do not turn away from anyone who wants to borrow from yoʋ.
43 “Na imben te lungnah, na rhal te thiinah,” a ti te na yaak uh coeng.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor and hate yoʋr 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 who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute 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.
so that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the 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 love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors 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 greet only your friends, what are you doing that is out of the ordinary? Do not even the tax collectors do that?
48 Te dongah vaan kah na Pa loh lungcuei la a om bangla nangmih khaw lungcuei la om uh.
You therefore shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
