Matthai 5
1 Thlang kqeng ce a huh awh, tlang na kai nawh ngawi hy, cawh a hubatkhqi ce a venna law uhy.
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him.
2 Cekcoengawh a hubatkhqi ce vemyihna cawngpyi khqi hy:
And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:
3 Kawlung ak khawdeng thlangkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih khan qam taw a mingmih a koe ni.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Kawset ing ak kokhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih a mingngaih qep kaw.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.
5 Kaw ak dungkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih khawmdek qo pang kawm uh.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
6 Dyngnaak ce buh a myihna cawi nawh tui a myihna ak hoetkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih amik phoen phyi kaw.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
7 Thlang qeenkhaw ak ngaikhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih qeennaak ce hu lawt kawm uh.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Kawlung ak ciimkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih Khawsa ce hu kawm uh.
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.
9 Qoepnaak ak saikhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih Khawsa cakhqi tinawh khy kawm uh.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.
10 Dyngnaak awh thekhanaak ak zawkkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih khawk khan taw a mingmih a koe ni.
Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Thlangkhqi ing kai ak camawh ni phep khqi uhy, ni thekha nak khqi uhy, amak thym na awihche soepkep ing ani zyih khqi awh ce nami zoseen hy.
Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:
12 Ym u nawhtaw namik kawzeel sak uh, Ikawtih nangmih aham khawkkhan awh kutdo ak bau soeih awm hy, cemyihna ni nangmih nami awm hlan awhkaw tawnghakhqi awm a mina thekhanaak hawhy.
Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
13 Nangmih taw khawmdek ci na awm u hyk ti. Cehlai ci ing a paih hawh awhtaw ikawmyihna a alnaak voel kaw? khawng nawh thlang ngawh khaw ing leh aham doeng kaataw, kawna awm phu am ta voel hy.
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men.
14 Nangmih taw khawmdek vangnaak na awm uhyk ti. Tlang awhkhaw ak awm taw ikaw ingawm am chungdah thai hy.
You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid.
15 Thlang ing mai a vang awh, dawn ing am myk nawh, maihvang ami taaknaak khawi awh ni ami taak, cawh ni ipkhui awhkaw ak awmkhqi boeih ce ak coei.
Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house.
16 Cemih lawtna, nangmih a them leek sai ce thlang ing a huh awh khawkkhan nakaw ak awm nangmih a Pa ce ami kyihcahnaak thai kaw, nami vangnaak ce thlang amik huh awh vang lah seh.
So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 Anaa awi aw am awh tawnghakhqik awi hqe aham kai ve law hy tinawh koeh poek uh; hqe aham am law nyng ak soep sak hamna ni ka law.
Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, khawmdek ingkaw khan ang khum hlan dy, anaa awi awhkaw a dek pynoet ca awm, calung pynoet ca awm ik-oeih soepkep a cup hlan dy taw am qeng tikaw.
For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 A u ingawm vawhkaw awipeek ak zawi cakhqi ak khui awhkaw pynoet ce eek nawh thlak chang awm eek lawt aham am cuuk awhtaw anih ce khawkkhan awh ak zawi soeih na awm kaw, cehlai a u ingawm vemyihkhqi boeih ve hquut nawh thlak chang awm a cawngpyi awhtaw anih ce khawk khan awh ak bau soeih na awm kaw.
He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, nangmih ama dyngnaak ing Farasikhqi ingkaw caqeekungkhqi a dyngnaak ce ama poe voelh awhtaw khawkkhan awh am lut thai ti kawp uk ti.
For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 “Syn awh, thlang koeh him, u awm thlang ak him taw awidengnaak kqih awm ce hu kaw,” tinawh ami nak kqawn ce za hawh u hyk ti.
You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not kill. And whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment.
22 Cehlai, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, a u awm a koeinaaa ak khan awh kaw ak so taw awidengnaak ce hu kaw. A u awm a koeinaa ce “Thlak zoe” ak tinaak taw Sanhedrin awh awidengna awm kaw. A u awm thlang ce, 'thlak qaw!' ak tinaak taw hell mai kqih awm ce zawk kaw. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou Fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Cedawngawh bawkthang awh ik-oeih pek aham nami law pyi awh na koeinaa ing nak khan awh ak kaw am law hy tice na sim awhtaw,
If therefore thou offer thy gift at the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother hath any thing against thee;
24 bawkthang a haiawh na themkhqi ce cehta nawh hlat cang. Na koeinaa ingqawi qoepnaak ce na sai coengawh cet nawhtaw na them ce pe kawp ti.
Leave there thy offering before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to thy brother: and then coming thou shalt offer thy gift.
25 Awidengnaak awh taza anik cawikung na qaal ingqawi lam nani ceh haih tloek awh ang tawnnna qoepnaak sai. Cemyih am awhtaw na qaal ing nang ce awidengnaak kung na a ni khyn coengawh awidengkung ing nang ce boei a venawh ni pe patoe kaw, anih ing nang ce thawngim na nik thla kaw.
Be at agreement with thy adversary betimes, whilst thou art in the way with him: lest perhaps the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, laiba a boeih dy na sah hlan khui taw thawngim awhkawng am loet kawp ti.
Amen I say to thee, thou shalt not go out from thence till thou repay the last farthing.
27 “Na samphaih aham am awm hy”, tinawh amik kqawn awi ce za hawh uhyk ti.
You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery.
28 Cehlai, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u ingawm nu pynoet ce hyynaak mik ing a toek awhtaw, ak kawlung khuiawh cawhkaw nu ak khan awh ce samphaih hawh hy.
But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Nak tang mik ing a ni thawlh sak awhtaw, koeih nawh khawng; na pum boeih ing hell khuina nang tlaak anglakawh na pum awh ik-oeih pynoet na taal ce nep bet hy. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Nak tangkut ing a ni thawlh sak awhtaw tlyk boet nawh khawng. Na pum awhkaw ik-oeih pynoet na taal ce nep bet hy. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right hand scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 “U ingawm a zu ce a ma awhtaw, zu manaak ca ce pe seh” tinawh amik kqawn awi ce a na awm hawh hy.
And it hath been said, whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.
32 Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, a va ak khan awh a thawlh awh ti kaana, u ingawm a zu ce a ma awhtaw a zu ce samphaih sak hy, cekcoengawh u ingawm thlang a zu ma ak zu naak taw samphaih na awm hy.
But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.
33 Cekcoeng bai awh, 'nak awisa ce koeh hqe, Bawipa venawh nak awisa ce cup sak lah', tinawh syn awh ami nak kqawn awm za hawh u hyk ti.
Again you have heard that it was said to them of old, Thou shalt not forswear thyself: but thou shalt perform thy oaths to the Lord.
34 Cehlai, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, awi koeh sa qoe qoe uh: khawkkhan phoei nawh awi koeh sa, kawtih khawkkhan taw Khawsa a ngawihdoelh ni;
But I say to you not to swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God:
35 khawmdek awm phoei unawh awi koeh sa uh, kawtih khawmdek awm a khaw a soengnaak ni; Jerusalem awm phoei unawh awi koeh sa uh, kawtih Jerusalem taw sangpahrang boei a khawk bau ni.
Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king:
36 Nami lu phoei unawh awi koeh sa uh, kawtih na lu awhkaw na lumsam pynoet ca awm am baawk, am lee sak thai hyk ti.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 Ak thym ce 'thym hy' ti unawh taw amak thym ce 'am thym hy' ti mai uh; ve ak khan awh awi ak law bai taw them amak leek hawh ni.
But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.
38 'Mik ang zyng awh mik, haa ang zyng awh haa', tinawh awi amik nak kqawn awm za hawh u hyk ti.
You have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, thlakche ce koeh oelh uh. Nak tang ben na beeng awh thlang ing anik beih awhtaw ak chang ben na beeng ce awm dun pe.
But I say to you not to resist evil: but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other:
40 Thlang ing na angki ce lawh aham a ngaih a dawngawh awi a ni oelh awhtaw, hi awm peek sih mai.
And if a man will contend with thee in judgment, and take away thy coat, let go thy cloak also unto him.
41 Thlang ing meng oet a ni qyt ngah ngah awhtaw meng hih dy awh thak.
And whosoever will force thee one mile, go with him other two,
42 Thlang ing ik-oeih a thoeh awhtaw pe mai, na venawh ik-oeih pu aham ak law ce koeh hawi taak.
Give to him that asketh of thee and from him that would borrow of thee turn not away.
43 “Na imceng ce lungna nawhtaw na qaal cetaw sawh na,” tinawh qee hyt awi ak awm ce zahawh u hyk ti.
You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy.
44 Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, nami qaal ce lung law na uh, nangmih awihche ing anik zyi thlangkhqi ce zoseenaak pe law uh; nangmih anik sawhnaakkhqi aham them leek sai law pe uh,
But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you:
45 cawh ni khawk khan awh ak awm nangmih a Pa a cakhqi na nami awm hly. Anih ingtaw thlakche ingkaw thlakleek ak khan awh khaw ang myih na law sak nawh, thlakdyng ingkaw thlakthawlh ak khan awh awm khaw ang myih na aa sak hy.
That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust.
46 Nangmih anik lungnaakkhqi doeng nami lungnaak mantaw ikaw kutdo nu nami huh kaw? Mangmu ak cawikhqi ingza cemyihce am sai lawt uhy na ti nawh nu?
For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this?
47 Na koeinaa doeng na ym mantaw, thlak chang anglakawh na leeknaak bet ikaw a awm? Lukih thlangkhqi ingza cemyih ce am sai uhy na ti nawh nu?
And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this?
48 Khawkkhan nakaw ak awm nangmih a Pa a soep lawt a myihna nangmih awm soep lawt lah uh.
Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.
