Matthai 5
1 Thlang kqeng ce a huh awh, tlang na kai nawh ngawi hy, cawh a hubatkhqi ce a venna law uhy.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 Cekcoengawh a hubatkhqi ce vemyihna cawngpyi khqi hy:
He opened his mouth and 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 those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Kaw ak dungkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih khawmdek qo pang kawm uh.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Dyngnaak ce buh a myihna cawi nawh tui a myihna ak hoetkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih amik phoen phyi kaw.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Thlang qeenkhaw ak ngaikhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih qeennaak ce hu lawt kawm uh.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 Kawlung ak ciimkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih Khawsa ce hu kawm uh.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Qoepnaak ak saikhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih Khawsa cakhqi tinawh khy kawm uh.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10 Dyngnaak awh thekhanaak ak zawkkhqi taw ami zoseen hy, kawtih khawk khan taw a mingmih a koe ni.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' 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 you when people insult you and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely 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.
Rejoice and be very glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For in this way people persecuted the prophets who lived 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 has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again? It is never again good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
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 set on a hill cannot be hidden.
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 people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but rather on the lampstand, and it shines for everyone 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.
Let your light shine before people in such a way that they see your good deeds and praise 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 have come to destroy the law or the prophets. I have come not to destroy them, but to fulfill them.
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 truly I say to you that until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things have been accomplished.
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.
Therefore whoever breaks the least one of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps them and teaches them will 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 say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will in no way enter 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 in ancient times, 'Do not kill,' and, 'Whoever kills will 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 everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of the judgment; and whoever says to his brother, 'You worthless person!' will be in danger of the council; and whoever says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. (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,
Therefore if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
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 your gift there in front of the altar, and go on your way. First be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your 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.
Agree with your accuser quickly while you are with him on the way to court, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.
26 Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, laiba a boeih dy na sah hlan khui taw thawngim awhkawng am loet kawp ti.
Truly I say to you, you will never come out from there until you have paid the last bit of money you owe.
27 “Na samphaih aham am awm hy”, tinawh amik kqawn awi ce za hawh uhyk ti.
You have heard that it was said, 'Do 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 everyone who looks on a woman to lust after her has 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)
If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your body parts should perish than that your whole body should be thrown 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)
If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your body parts should perish than that your whole body should go 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.
It was also said, 'Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate 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 everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress. Whoever marries her after she has been divorced commits 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 those in ancient times, 'Do not swear a false oath, but carry out your 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, swear not 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 the footstool for his feet; 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 swear by your head, for you cannot 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 'Yes, yes,' or 'No, no.' Anything that is more than this is from the evil one.
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 was 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, do not resist one who is evil. Instead, whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Thlang ing na angki ce lawh aham a ngaih a dawngawh awi a ni oelh awhtaw, hi awm peek sih mai.
If anyone wishes to go to court with you and takes away your coat, let that person also have your cloak.
41 Thlang ing meng oet a ni qyt ngah ngah awhtaw meng hih dy awh thak.
Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him 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 anyone who asks you, and do not turn away from anyone who wishes to borrow from you.
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 was said, 'You must love your neighbor and hate your 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 and pray for those who persecute 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.
so that you may be sons 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 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 those who love you, what reward do you get? Do not even the tax collectors do the same thing?
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?
If you greet only your brothers, what do you do more than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same thing?
48 Khawkkhan nakaw ak awm nangmih a Pa a soep lawt a myihna nangmih awm soep lawt lah uh.
Therefore you must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
